What kind of Tortoises?

jimmstroh1 May 14, 2009 01:42 PM

I am looking to buy a tortoise, and need help deciding which type works best for my setup. I have a 100-gallon aquarium, but was also thinking about building a cage in my garage. What kind of tortoises would you recommend?

How are you going to set up your set up? Moist, desert?

Red-ffots are great Torts, though it would outgrow your tank. Depends (see above reply ) on what kind of set-up you want. Rainforest? Grassland or desert?
