Can someone list all of the desert/arid/grassland torts?

Bovox Feb 24, 2004 01:04 PM

I'm researching all of the desert species and their requirements. Since I live in Phoenix I've determined that they would be the best to keep outside here. I've read a lot about Leopards, Sulcattas, and of course our native species Gopherus. Any other desert species that I can do some research on? Thanks!

Hello,
I'm sure that ANY of the "STAR" tortoises would do well in
your area ? The "CHACO" tortoise, too. Good luck !!

Russian tortoises do well here. I am in Phoenix, and I keep my Russians outside.
