My son fell in love with a Russian Tort at Petco. I really do not want to buy one from there so that's why I am here. Not only looking for a tortoise but doing a bit of research. First off what do you think about a 5 year old having a Tortoise? I of course would be the primary care giver to the Tortoise. Another question I have is should I buy two and keep them together for company or just one? What type of tortoise do you recommend? All suggestions and thoughts are very appreciated! If it is a good idea then he will have a nice tortoise with a nice habitat under the Christmas tree!
