Hey everyone!
I'm Danny, 27y/o and I'm from the Netherlands.
I've recently decided to seriously look into getting a pet tortoise. I've been interested in getting a herbivorous reptile for a few years now and tortoises have always been on top of that list. Just seeing those animals eat and do their thing makes me melt from the cuteness.
I've been reading tons of articles and forums for a few weeks now and decided to register here to ask some in depth questions. I'll post these later after I doublecheck if they are not asked before.

A bit about myself and other pets:
I currently keep newts and salamanders for a few years now and I was looking for something totally different to get besides them. Naturally I'm not going to mix species or something. They won't even be in the same room.
Any other questions are always welcome :)

The Netherlands is a temperate climate, like eastern US, I believe.
The actual weather is almost autumn like the last few weeks.. :p
