Hey dudes,

Im new to torts. Never kept one before and am very interested in getting one. Problem is i cant really find a tortoise that would suit me the best! Here is what im looking for in a tortoise....

1. Cold hardy. I plan on keeping him outdoors in san diego. It rarely freezes and i would provide it with a heated, wooden shelter.

2. I would like a larger tortoise that easily grows over 1 foot.

3. How big of an enclosure would i need for one?(dont worry i have plenty of lumber to use for it!)

4. What diet regime would work the best based on your personal experience?

Any replies would be great!
