I have always had a tortoise, I'd like to say most of them have all been rescues from homes where I found they shouldn't have been. I have had a Galapagus, Aldabra, several Sulcatas. I had those while I was living in Texas and had the land to take them in and get them healthy. I now live north of Chicago. I miss that lifestyle and my shelled friends and wanting to get back into them again... or at least have just 1 or 2!
I am looking for a couple Spider Tortoises, but they seem hard to find! If you (or anyone you know can refer me, that would be great!) So since they are pretty expensive and extremely hard to find I am open to other species as well, as long as they are on the smaller side, as the ones I had before I would not have been able to keep long term due to lack of space that they require.So if not Spiders, anyone have any other recommendations? I definitely want something on the smaller side, that also provides the beautiful markings that many of the species have. Throw some ideas and pictures my way!
Anyway, looking forward to all of the feedback and learning as much as I can.
