Hi everyone, I've posted a bit here and there on the forum. I am having such a hard time making a final decision on which tort species to go with! Can you all give me your insight? I live in northcentral Florida, and I have a house with a large (50x150 foot) fenced yard. I love larger species, and would really love a sulcata but it's just not practical for me at this time to get one due to their size and destructive abilities. I keep fluctuating between leopards and redfoots (also I think Greeks and Hermanns are nice, but I'm looking for something larger). So really it comes down to leopard vs. redfoot.
Although both are beautiful, I do love the look of leopards especially. I'd also prefer something that will be personable. We get a bit cold in the winter, and I have some indoor space to temporarily house one or two torts but will also happily construct a heated shed in the yard for their use.
So I suppose my dilemma is... Two redfoots (which would probably slowly increase to a colony ) or two leopards?
Edit: Or one leopard?
