Hello,
My 10 year old would like to own a tortoise. We are having a difficult time finding which one will be best suited to our area. We live in Central New York. The winters are of coarse very snowy(we live in the snow belt)and below zero temperatures. The summer/spring can be very humid at times. We would like one that can live inside for most of the year due to our weather conditions although there is lots of room outdoors to have a pen where the tortoise could safely spend time outdoors. Also, are there any species that don't need hybernation? Winters here are long and the tortoise would help pass time. He is the kind of child that doesn't need a cuddly pet (we already have a dog) he needs a pet that he can watch and talk to and feed and love.
I'm really glad I found this website. Please help.
Thank you all for your time,
Jim P, Central NY
