speech questions

[llaperle]

hi my name is Emma and I am doing a speech in school. I am 9 years old and in grade 4 (this is my Mom's account), and i was wondering if any of you had any information on tortoises like what different types and sizes of tortoises there are, and where they are from.


Thank you
emma

p.s. my Mom is really excited that I am doing my speech about tortoises

This article Kristina wrote covers the basics about some of the more common tortoises kept as pets.

I would go with Kristina's thread, maybe you could do a speech about tortoises and having one as a pet.
There are A TON of different tortoise species
Do you have more specific species in mind? That would probably get your more answers Pick maybe like five of the most common
Maybe Sulcatas, Russians, Redfoot, Leopards, and Greeks
You would probably get more answers that way Even more answers if you pick general questions that can be applied to each species, like you kinda already did..
Size
Location in the wild , where they come from
Basic Care
Different sup species that they can come in
How some are endangered in the wild

A lot of that has already been answered on the forum I will try to find links
Redfoot supspecies

Sorry I couldn't help more

I agree, you really need to narrow down your question a bit. Otherwise your speech could take days to give.
