I live in Atlanta and would like to add a tortoise to our family. I can build a large and secure enclosure outside and I'm wondering if Testudo hermanni would do well in our Georgia summers. I pondered a Russian but I believe we are too humid here.

If the winters get too cold they can obviously be inside then but I'd like to have them outside as much as possible. I'm building an outdoor enclosure for my iguana so I figured while I was building I could do a good tortoise habitat as well. I haven't really found any information specific to maximum temps and humidity levels for Testudo hermanni.

Thanks!
