Hi everyone,
I've spent countless hours researching all these different tortoise types and I just can't seem to figure out which would be best suited for the care I can give them...
It's important to me that the tortoise is very sturdy, stays around 10 inches or under and doesn't hibernate.
I live in Germany, where it gets fairly cold. Also I have no yard or balcony so indoors is the only place i'll be able to keep the little one.
I've had my eye on cherry heads but they're extremely difficult to find in Germany. I've been looking at Indian stars as well, but I just get the impression, that more often than not they end up dying for no good reason and I can hardly find any pictures of adult stars on here. Egyptians also seem very hard to keep...
I just want something that won't die on me if I give it proper care.
I've been getting some equipment already. I have a uvb tube and the fixture for it, as well as the lucky reptile bright sun mvb set, a ceramic heat emitter and a temp gun.
I've been thinking about getting this type of enclosure. It's a closed chamber that makes it easy the fix up all the lighting inside. I've just never seen anyone use one of these on here. The size would be 4x2 for the beginning. What do you guys think about it?

I was also thinking about installing a fogger conected to a thermo-/ hygrostat to keep temps and heat steady and running all by itself.
I'd really appreciate opinions and suggestions. Thanks in advance!
