no it can be any tortoise but mostly looking for a sulcata or something alike
I see that you are 13.
Are you sure that a tortoise that grows to 250 pounds and will require a full half acre of a yard is a good fit as your first tortoise?
I'm also in Florida. North of you.
Will you be able to keep your tortoise outdoors?
If so, a Redfoot is a great choice for our climate here. And foods are easy to find year round.
Redfoot top out at about 14 to 16".

Yes but the sulcata is the only cheap I can afford they are 90 and Redfoots 200
I get Redfoot pretty often off of Craigslist.
Miami has many, many unwanted Redfoot.
You or your parent can post a "wanted" ad in CRAIGSLIST MIAMI for a tortoise and see what pops up.
You might be very surprised.
