There is a red foot tort available and would like opinions on this breed. I am a first time tort owner, and would only be looking to have a one tort family. I know they live for a very long time so want to make the right decision before bringing one into my home since I know once it is here it will be here FOREVER
I know they need a moist environment. I also see lots of info on shell rot when I look at the info on them. Is this a very common problem in this breed? Are they otherwise very hardy? I live in Wisconsin and really love the look of the desert torts - leopards especialy. I have the outside room for the larger breed, so wondering what your opinion would be. Which breed do you feel would be a better fit for my area. I would like to help a tort out and will be looking for one that really just needs a home.
I appreciate your opinions.
