As I said, I want something small so I can house it mainly indoors. My husky-malamute, also part timber wolf, is very playful. Like all other huskies, he likes to chase things. He also recently killed a possum. I have no idea how he would react, and I'm scared of that. He hasn't done anything to any of my cats, ducks, or geese, but he has chased sheep. I guess I'm more worried about him stressing it out than actually hurting it. According to the rules of where we live, we can't really build fences (another reason I'm looking to keep it indoors).

Wisconsin is cold in winter and can be hot in summer. The humidity varies even though we're by the lake. I figure it would be easier to maintain constant conditions indoors, again why I'm looking for a small tortoise. Any thoughts on Indian Stars or Egyptians? Also, I'm going for captive bred (scared of the prices though) but I'd like to hear about people's experiences with wild caught.

Thanks for your help!
