Hi.
My name is Juan, I'm 19 and in college. I have been considering getting a tortoise for a few months now, and I've been doing some basic research, but I know that forums are the place to get the best information! I have lots of experience with reptiles and amphibians, but I haven't kept any for a few years. I also have various planted aquariums with some beautiful fish that I keep well maintained.
I would love to have a larger tortoise, but I will be keeping it at college for most of time for the next 3 years, so I will probably have to stick to a smaller species. I will be living in Ohio and Maryland (Ohio mostly), so that means humid hot summers and cold snowy winters. I plan on building my own enclosure if I get a tortoise, so any advice on that would be welcome!
What tortoise species would you recommend? Do you think it would be do able in college? I have plenty of room at home, but at school it is very limited--though there are a lot of pesticide free (actually pesticide free) grassy sunny areas I could take the lil guy to hang out in.
Thanks!
