Any help or advice from owners in a similar area ( or anywhere really ) would be greatly appreciated. I feel in love with a tortoise at the zoo a couple days ago and I want one, but I don’t want to be irresponsible about it. So thanks for any help and onto the questions!
Breeds that are most adapt to living in TN? Or do you just roll with what you want and adapt your care more to each animal?
Thoughts on inside vs outside?
Thoughts on getting on as a hatchling vs older—- does it matter at all as far as them being more comfortable with you?
Does size translate to more personality, or is this bad information? I understand they aren’t going to be like puppies seeking affection, but just the illusion of it is what I mean. I know they just want food but if they follow my niece around she will love it. I hope that makes sense.
Male or female, does it make a difference for any of their personality traits?
Is there a size limit on a tort being inside most of the time? What’s the parameters for allowing the turtle to “free roam” the house ie temperature,time limit, flooring, stress level?, etc.
Anything else you think I should know, feel free to share, and thank you so much.
