I have been doing a lot of research as to what type of tortoise I'd like to adopt. For the most part, I was interested in adopting a Hermann or a Russian Tortoise, but Pancake tortoises have always been my absolute favorite. I read an article a way back saying it was illegal to own a Pancake tortoise in the USA, but I see that many people own this species so I'm beginning to believe the article I read was wrong..
Now, my question is this: is there a limitation on which states will allow you to adopt a Pancake tortoise? And if I am able to adopt one, where would I do so?
I've never owned a tortoise before, only some African Side Neck turtles (which I sadly had to rehome due to my mental health which interfered with my ability to take care of them )': ). After a few years of intense research and planning, I do hope to adopt a tortoise, but would it be a bad idea for me to adopt a Pancake tortoise over some of the intermediate level tortoises?
