Hello!
I just recently Graduated and I've been talking about getting/wanting a tortoise for a long time. so My dad came to me and said how about we get you a tortoise. I don't live with my dad so I tried to explain to him that buying a tortoise isn't exactly the cheapest thing. some tortoises cost $100 and upward and you have to buy their habitat which depending can cost some decent money too. He said he was at pets mart and saw a good size terrarium with everything needed for a little over $100 i said yea dad see what I mean by expensive he said he didn't care that I needed to just look for a pets store and or a good online tortoise place so that we could go ahead and buy a tortoise and we could go and get the terrarium, so Here we are. I Live in Maryland and am looking to get one of the smaller breeds (Russian, Greek,Herman) Many have told me to buy a russian but i just would really appreciate any advice you have to offer.
