Hi everyone! I love reading all the enthusiastic love for tortoises! We are currently researching which species to adopt into our family, any information you all can share with me would be greatly appreciated! A little bit about us, we are a family of 4, my husband, myself and our 2 boys, 11 and soon to be 9. Our 8yr old wants a pet tortoise and has been doing diligent research on it so I know he's serious. However with that being said I know I need to know everything possible to make the best decision on what kind would be best suited to our climate and can tolerate my son ogling it constantly. We have read some don't tend to enjoy handling which is fine, we have a nice backyard and can allow the tort out with supervision of course, my son is willing to give up a lot of his room for the tort as well because we want to have the best environment for our new addition. We would love a tort species with a ton of personality but have also read that it can vary from tort to tort on that but that the Hemanns are characters along with the Russians. Can't wait to read what you all have to say!!
Thanks!!
Robyn
