Hello, Thank you for having me on the forums. I am seeking research to get my 8 year old son his first tortoise. He already has a ball python for the past three years and does great with her. He seems to really like cherry head torts. My main concern to supplying to proper enclosure. I live in Michigan and plan on building a nice outdoor space for him/her. Obviously I need to plan an indoor living space for up to six months out of the year. I also have a 4 year old son that wants to be like his brother and get a tort. So a pair would be ideal but space might prevent this.
The available space in my son's room is somewhat limited. I figured I can build an area about 40x24". If we bought a baby, how long would this area be acceptable for? I could design a larger space in my basement eventually.
My main concern to providing a thriving environment for my possible new pet. Thank you for the help.
