Hello. I am thinking about buying a tortoise. At first, I wanted a Russian Tortoise. After I realized they hibernate, I decided to think of a different tortoise to care for as I am afraid of hibernating incorrectly and do not want to risk it. Next, I thought of a Greek Tortoise. However, they too hibernate. Ate that, I thought of a Redfoot, however, they got (moderately) large and needed highish humidity I was not sure I could provide. After that, I thought of a sulcata, as they do not hibernate and humidity isn't a problem. However, they get quite large and I wouldn't be able to house them indoors during the colder months. After that, I thought of a Pancake Tortoise. They are relatively small and humidity is not a problem. My problem, though. If Pancakes appear to have easier care and maintenance, whe aren't they considered 'beginner tortoises' like Russian and Greek Tortoises. Anyone have any experience with them and can give me advice on their care and required supplies?
Thanks.
Thanks.
