Posted by: Enkidu at Sun Feb 24 19:36:30 2008 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Enkidu ] Marginated tortoises and Greek tortoises would probably also work for your climate. Marginateds get up to about 14 inches long, but are quite elongated. Marginateds are more commonly available as captive bred babies than either russians or greeks. Greeks vary in size depending on subspecies, but never get above 10 pounds and most are more like 2-4 pounds. Greeks arent as commonly bred as marginateds, except for golden greeks, which actually do better indoors. Whatever tortoise you choose make sure to get a captive bred animal, wild caughts of ALL testudo species carry massive amounts of parasites and are often in very poor condition. do some research and I'm sure that you'll have fun in the exciting world of tortoises. | ||
