Well where to start, my name is William and I live in Portland OR. I've never owned a tortoise before but I've been debating it for over a month now and finally came to the conclusion I really would like to bring a tortoise into my family's life. I've been looking around at the species trying to figure out, big jump from catching turtles in West Virginia and letting them loose in the garden(sorry mom they loved it) and I think I've decided on getting a Greek Tortoise because I've read they're a beginner tortoise but as everyone I have a few questions to ask and ill just place them here in this post to save time. I don't really have any local sellers that carry Greek Tortoises at the moment and seem to be the ones everyone considers advance or they will grow to big for me to house/care for them so does anyone know of any trusted sellers since they seem to be more prone to parasites? Also I was told to stay away from the store purchasing leafy greens so I was wondering where the best place to purchase leafy greens for them would be? Or maybe a type of salad pack they sell at the stores?
