What kind of tortoise should I get?

Part of your choice will be what is available there, but the Hermann's tortoise is a good bet for a beginner.

Why would you buy a Mediterranean tortoise in China? Be careful, and be sure to find out what their laws concerning wildlife are.

The Herman's tortoise is a good bet for a starter.

i was thinking about Herman tortoises there not to big and are perfect for beginners, go to google and type in the tortoise shop there is a really good site called the tortoise shop and it has good packages and sets for beginners such as the Herman tortoise i hope this helps.

I wanted a tortoise very badly for years- then I went to a pet store to ask questions and learned some live to be over 100. You actually have to will your tortoise to someone because they outlive you. That changed my mind! Hope this helps :)

No thought on account which you have no longer reported a lot approximately it yet in many situations my tortoise likes dandelion leaves, fruit, greens small parts of water, peas as an occasional shield and sunshine to keep them heat temperature. although, you need to no longer leave them out at evening you need to placed across them indoors in a cardboard field crammed with scrunched up newspaper interior the various case it ought to get eaten via technique of birds or foxes.

Hermans are a nice size tortoise also look at a Redfoot tortoise. I personally like Redfoots. they are very personable.
