Thanks everyone! I'm not sure about what breed or anything yet. I have seen some Hermanns in a reptile shop but i'm unsure about other types of tortoise and am a complete beginner! This is my first stop for info! I'm from the UK by the way.
A Hermann's would be a wonderful choice. They stay small, manageable size, and are easy-going and (relatively) simple to care for. They make great tortoises for "beginner" keepers.
