This is not a simple decision.
I am trying to decide which tortoise to get:
A Male Leopard tortoise around 8 inches. Reasonably priced. OR
A Male Star tortoise who is 6 inches. Reasonable priced.
My dilemma is this, which do you think would do better in Colorado weather? In the summers it would be totally outside. In the winters either a warm house outside OR an entire room by itself.
I know some of you are not fans of African tortoises located in colder climates. But, I think we (my spouse) can make it work. If I didn't I wouldn't be asking.
Thanks in advance for your input.
