I'm sure this question has been asked before and I'm sure a great deal depends on the personality of the tortoise itself. But I'm wondering if anyone has any opinions on whether or not a male or female makes a better pet.
I do not plan on getting another tortoise, it will be just the one.
I'm capable of giving a female everything she needs as she can grow upwards of 9 inches.
My biggest question is will a female lay eggs even without a male present? And if so there would be certain risk of egg binding. I would rather not have to worry about her safety. Does this happen often?
If anyone thinks sex is a factor over a tortoises personality I would love to hear. I would like one with a personality, a little outgoing, curious, hails to the "food god" etc.
Any input would be helpful. Thanks
