Thank you, this feedback is helping me lean towards hermann's out of the testudos, I'll keep researching them and the Burmese stars tho! A sulcata will probably never be in the cards for me, but they are beautiful, I'd love to hang out with one.
I'll have to look through the forums Resources for where to buy a tortoise. 700$ or less sounds good. I'm only looking for a single pet tortoise for now, perhaps in the future if i have more land and resources I'd consider multiple. I was under the impression that all tortoises are happy to be...
What's the reasonable price range for a baby/juvenile Burmese star? When looking them up they seem to be 800+, while the 3 main ones I was looking at were available under 600$

Thank you! I live in Douglasville, west of Atlanta. I'll focus my research to the 3 smaller species, greek, russian, and hermanns, and I definitely don't want to get a tortoise that will suffer in this climate. I'm toying with the idea of also tortoise proofing my sunroom (which is where the...
That is a really good warning, thank you, I'll make sure I'm diligent. And I'm so sorry for your loss, that's really sad. Have u learned of anyways to prevent it now?
Hi, I'm new to the forum and wanting to get a tortoise this year! Looking for advice and recommendations, I'm not sure what type of tortoise to get, so I'm going to share a bit about my environment/plan and would like to know what you think the best fit would be:
