Species recommendations

[AppalachianTortoise]

Hello everyone. I currently have a Russian tortoise and a Eastern Herman's tortoise. Both live outside all year in north Georgia. I am wanting to get into some other larger species that could at least live outside for spring and summer. Any recommendations?

Resch these tortoises

I would suggest a South African leopard tortoise or Manouria emys phayeri as a 2nd choice. Both of these tolerate cool temps and can brumate.

Any other large tortoises are fully tropical and would be more difficult in Georgia.
