As many of you probably know by my intro thread, I currently do not have a tortoise. I have no clue when (or if for that matter...) I'll get one, but it can't hurt to ask questions, you know?
Anyway, what kind of tortoise is good for someone who has not had a tortoise before? My ideal tortoise wouldn't be super needy, on the smaller side (sulcatas officially ruled out. haha.), and not too expensive. I know proper care can get expensive, but for now, I don't want one that's very expensive. To this degree, I was thinking that a Russian tortoise would fit these qualifications, but I figured I'd ask about it. Any feedback is welcome and appreciated!
