I'm Jake from Illinois and I currently dont have any turtles or tortoises as I'm doing research before I decide to commit to one. I would like to know what breeds are recommend for beginners and if there would be any I could possibly keep outdoors. I've got plenty of land with a lean-to with a fence out front of it so I've got the space for outdoors I'm just unsure if there are any species that are Hardy enough for Illinois weather. Thanks all and I'm super excited to be here.

Welcome Jake, great that you are doing your research first. You will find many members here that keep all different species in cold weather areas.

Welcome Jake! Nothing but praise for someone doing thorough research before getting a tortoise pet.
