I'm interested in getting a tortoise (first time owner), one that does not get too large so I understand Russians and Hermann's are good starter turtles. I am in the process of researching the specific care and needs for these guys and have visited the local pet stores but none seem to offer these types, mostly just spur high tortoises or red/yellow foot. A reptile show comes around my area once in a blue moon so my questions are: are there reputable dealers to purchase from online and if so, who? Is that even an option with tortoises? If not, where else can I find one? I live in Melbourne, Florida.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Fred.
