I have looked into them in past years but never got one.We live in a humid area, at least in summer.I want a small/med size that could possibly be hibernated through winter inside but would like to be outside in the real sun for summer, maybe in a garden made just for them.IDK I seem to remember that I was once looking into either the Russian or the Leopard tortoise.I do intend to look up all the care first.I do know about UVB and such but would like some suggestions as too which species to research that would be best.
