Hi to all. I do not yet have a tortoise- plan to get one in a year or 2, so am researching a bunch in the meantime. I live in south Louisiana- within easy commute of New Orleans. I plan to have any tortoise outside as much as possible, but inside, some, too. Our summers get REALLY hot and generally humid. For example, the forecast for this week is mid-90s to 102F for the highs and 70-78 for the nighttime lows with nighttime humidity around 60% and daytime humidity in 40%, with the odd thunderstorm. July and Aug will be hotter. am currently leaning towards the Hermanns. Thoughts?
Addition: I know box turtles and red eared sliders are native to our area, so they can obviously manage just fine, but I'm drawn to the Hermanns or the Russians...
