I lived in Colorado Springs, CO and can tell you that the humidity there is much too low for the tortoises you mentioned. If the Tulsa area has the same humidity levels as the Springs, I would not recommend those two species.

However, here is an excellent web site with some good info and a possible source for Emys tortoises of both types. John Bailey, who runs the site, could readily tell you if your area would be OK for them or not.

Mountain Tortoises

The leading website for Black (Manouria emys emys) and Brown (Manouria emys phayrei) Mountain Tortoises. Learn about conservation in the wild, and preservation in captivity.
