Hello all,
I am new to this forum and I would like to ask a question. I would like to buy a tortoise in the near future which is roughly 16-18 inches long but I don't particularly want a leopard because I have read that they don't do too well in the English climate. So I was wondering if anyone could give some suggestions of other species of tortoise which are of a similar size. I originally wanted to get a Sulcata because of their size and their personality but I have since decided that they would get too big for my house and I wouldn't be able to provide a suitable outdoor enclosure (again because of the climate) so I begrudgingly have to rethink a suitable species and I have to keep in mind what would be fair on a tortoise and what wouldn't. So any pointers to a species of a slightly smaller size would be appreciated. Thanks
