Hi all!
I first got into tortoises by purchasing a Sulcata. I had him/her for 3 years, but unfortunately he managed to escape a temporary outdoor enclosure (a dog ex-pen, it was moved innocently by my BF and he escaped underneath a very small opening).
I've since been wondering about the longer term housing of a tort, etc, and I think a species that is more tolerant of my local environment (SW Ohio) and that can more easily be kept indoors with ample space during the winter would be a better option.
I'm in the process of doing my research into care requirements, etc, but would love resources you guys could provide, or some links to reputable breeders (I would never want to support illegal trade).
Thank you!!
