Looking for a safe and caring breeder!!

Hello,
I’m looking for recommendations for tortoise breeders in the United States. I’m from Minnesota but am unable to find a breeder anywhere remotely close to me. I’m still not 100% sure on the species of tortoise I’m planning on getting yet, but looking into Russians and Hermanns (as I’m located in a cold area so I’ll have to have them indoors most of the year). Thank you for any advice in advanced! Also- I’m still doing research so any tips you wish you knew when you were a beginner would be nice
