Hello!
I have recently started looking into getting a tortoise for my 5 year old. She is obsessed with all things turtles and tortoises, she's always telling me (and anyone she talks to) facts about specific species! I didn't tell her I was looking into it because I want to get plenty of research in first to see if it was a possibility.
I was hoping I could get some input on which species would make the best pet and any other tips or knowledge I might need!
We live in South Florida, pretty hot and humid all year. We live in a house with a fenced in yard. I am a stay at home mom and my daughter is homeschooled so we are home and able to supervise all day everyday. My husband would prefer one that doesn't completely destroy our yard, not sure if that will be possible though!
Any input and education is GREATLY appreciated! Thank you in advance!
