So
I didn't mention what else happened when I went to the pet store to get Juno.
My dad doesn't know much about tortoises and found the other ones in the store interesting. He liked the redfoots since they were very colorful. But we got Juno, since I did research on her, and she seemed healthy and friendly.
But I did happen to hold some of the other torts as well
I held:
The Leo(my Juno was the only Leo there, and they hardly get leos in)
2 Sullies(a baby and a sub adult)
2 red foots
A russian
A greek
And an ornate boxie(yes I know its not a tortoise, but still
The Sullies and red foots were friendly. They came out of their shells and we were pittering about. However, the russian greek and boxie seemed to stay in their shells.
And there was Juno, who came right out
I know that personalities differentiates from torty to torty, just like in people. But from what I noticed both first hand and on the forums, the larger breeds SEEM much more docile. I don't to sound like I'm bashing on smaller torties, but why is it that the larger breeds seem more docile?
Just curious really
