Hello All,
I am new here. My 14 year old and myself want to purchase a tortoise that does not hibernate and comes in a small package since we live in an apartment in the city.
So far we came up with an Indian Star Tortoise or Egyptian tortoise. We also looked at the Russian tortoise a little after hearing that they did not need to be hibernated. We decide against the Russian turtle after hearing that they prefer to be left alone. We finally settled on the Egyptian tortoise.
I am crossed eyed from all the research I am doing and the Youtube videos I am watching.
We have the table that my husband built.
Now we are stuck with what kind of substrate to use and lighting. Also what kind of plants should be placed in
the enclosure. Finally any ideas where we can purchase an Egyptian tortoise?
Thank You.
