Been looking around for a while now and i know that the smaller species are Greek, Hermann's and Russians but now I'm trying to decide. I've read up on all 3 and know what the requirements and such are and how to care for them but I'm still having a tough time deciding. Although I do notice myself thinking more about Hermann's than the other two. and for some reason i haven't thought about Greeks too much at all. I am not pressed for time at all just trying to decide before I start saving to build and enclosure and purchase a lil fella however I'm at a stand still right now.


also this is my first tortoise


Maybe I'm just an indecisive person

In November, I got my first tortoise: a 4 inch long Hermann's. I know that 4 inches long means she's already about 3 years old, but I also know she is well past the fragile hatchling stage, which helped me a lot as far as not being TOO worried about my beginner husbandry! Everyone who sees her remarks with surprise about how beautiful she is. Within 2 months of coming home to us, she was eating her favorite food out of our hand. She seems to enjoy having her head rubbed: she sticks it out farther, once we start rubbing it. I am very happy with my choice but every one is different. Good luck with your decision! :)

I think you already chose the one you should get. You said yourself, you find yourself thinking about the hermanns more then the others. :)

I would say of the 3, Hermanns are the neatest looking.
