Hey everyone...FIRST POST!

I have been all over this website's forums the past couple weeks looking at different reptiles. It seems ive got the reptile bug lol and have been looking for an animal i can take care of as my own. Lately i was looking at lizards, but i now am reconsidering and am really starting to find tortoises very intriguing, i love their look! I work at a pet store and we had a couple of tortoises and i think that is what sparked my interest. So i guess i am just wondering which tortoise do yo tortoise veterens think would work for me pertaining to the following criteria:



1) size wise i was thinking of something between 1-2 feet in length, 2 ft. definently maximum



2) Very personable and active, not a shy creature and one that doesnt mind human contact.



3)Relatively easy care requirements, this would be my first tortoise.



4)I live in OHIO so i need a tortoise that can be brought in side maybe in a tortoise box or something no too huge as an enclosure



Any species you think that would help my decision would be extremely welcome and any personal experiances you have had with the tortoise you described would be much a appreciated.





Sorry for the long post, thought id do my first post right lol.
