I've been wanting to get a tortoise for a while now, but i don't know what king i should get. I have limited space, but great weather.
I had 2 leopard torts but sadly, they passed (still can't figure out why, but i was at camp and left them with my parents when they passed). I live in Southern California, and as you could imagine, it is hot and dry year round so i was just wondering if there is a type of tortoise that could fit these conditions. Leopards might be too big, and red/yellow foots might not like the dryness... (someone in my neighborhood breeds tortoises, and has a yellow foot that she keeps outside, however it is kind of pyramided) So i was thinking maybe star torts, russian torts, or greek torts.
If you can suggest a relatively pretty to look at, small (under 18 inches) tortoise that is accustomed to dry weather, than please help
