I've been interested in keeping a tortoise for sometime, but I've always been relucatant because of the enclosure requirements, seemingly most need very large homes. Are there any that have smaller housing needs and can be kept inside?

Greeks, russians, etc. Stay relatively small and could keep outside in most areas all year due to their hibernating.

Russians, Greeks, Hermans....there's a few smaller species well suited for indoors keeping but they should always get some time outside as well. They're easy keepers, eat just about anything from the produce section at the grocery store and they all so cute...they have that grumpy old man look.
