I am a first time buyer and I am hoping for some advice to get our first tortoise.
We live in Vermont, and the weather here is pretty terrible so a tortoise wouldn't be able to go out often, and especially not in the winter.
We also need advice on where to buy our tortoise, online would be best because we are in a location that doesn't often have tortoises for sale. We are also hoping that we could have advice on the enclosure for it and a place to get the enclosure. We actually thought would it be possible to allow the tortoise to roam around the house and use a food/water dish as well as a type of litter box? Or could we set up a room for it if that wasn't feasible? (We have 2 pretty much unused rooms.
We also need to know which type of tortoise would be best for beginners, we have no cats or dogs, but we do have whites-tree frogs, and plan to get some bearded dragons in the near future.
Thanks for the advice!
