Think about consulting a good book on climatological data. compare the local weather on your new land to that from the known range of the species you are considering. See any similarities or if different, easy to adjust/overcome? That should narrow your selection. I live in a very hostile desert enviroment, and I am doing fine with my Mediterranean and desert adapted species. I always wanted to try Emmys or red-foots, but I don't think I can offer them what they need, but you might do well with those humidity tolerant species. Both are said to have great personalities and there are successful breeders of both in your neighborhood. Shop around, as there are a lot of variants in size and color of red-foots. Good luck and let us know what works or doesn't. vic
