    My New Golden Greek Tortoise
    It's been awhile since I've posted, my camera was out of commission for a few months. I've had this little gem since early February. It was only 3 weeks old when I brought it home. It's a bold little beast.

    I agree on water turtles being high maintenance but tortoise are pretty basic. I'd suggest a Greek tortoise to a beginner as long as they can provide the space.

    Here are some quick videos of a friends enclosures and how she keeps her torts.

    I've never thought that but I enjoy pronouncing words for "self entertainment" as you put it, haha. From here on out it will be said in a Cajun accent "Tortwah".

    It will last them many years. Tortoises can always have more space, if you give it to them they will use it. I'm sure for a small adult male a minimum enclosure size would be around 3' x 2' or so.

    Thanks, I had a Russian when I was younger that I was given. I always remember it as being the shyest creature, this little thing is completely the opposite. It's so bold, very funny. I debated for quite some time between a Greek or a Red Foot, I found an amazing local breeder and I couldn't say no to the little one. Now that I have a house I plan on building a nice outdoor enclosure one day, but I'm in no rush it has a couple years of growing to do.
