[split] what are marginated tortoises like?

[Torts forever]

I am thinking about getting a marginated tortoise, is there any thing I need to know?

Advice please

I have one and he seems ok he likes to explore so an interesting habitat is important, I looked on line for average temps and humidity levels for Greece and used that data as my guide, mines a friendly little thing likes his food and warm baths. I find I don't need any extra heating apart from his basking light, and I obviously use a UVB light.

Mine is very social and sweet. Their food is the same as a Russian but they do need more humidity. Mine loves his baths and also drinks almost his whole bowl of water daily. I just posted a pic of my hens in the photo forum.

Mine are happy friendly tortoises who love to graze They will follow me around begging for treats (rose pedals.)
