Hey everyone i just stumbled on this site just the other day ago and look forward to talking to you guys. My name is Leland and I dont have a tortoise yet but have been itching for one for the longest time because i love turtles/tortoises. I have been reading alot about everything and the more i read the more i kind of narrow it down to a russian tortoise and my first pet. Is this a good choice for people who are just starting out? I had 2 redeared slider turtles when i was lil but never had a tortoise so there was quite a bit to read up on them. Looking forward to your guys feedback. I live in Seattle Washington by the way so it would be living mainly indoors and i would take it out to play during the sunny days, thats one reason i wanted a smaller size.
