Hi there! First-time reptile owner here. I married a girl who's a big boa and python enthusiast, but I've always been more drawn to tortoises and turtles (though I've never owned one). Well, yesterday we were at a reptile show and I decided to bring home a Home's hinge-back tortoise. I think the breeder in question must not have had much experience with hinge-backs because the answers to all my questions were more in line with the Russian tortoises that made up most of his inventory. I didn't realize that until I got home and did some research, but I've decided to soldier on and keep the little guy anyway, despite a significantly different set of requirements.
