Re: Good beginner tortoise?
There has been some discussion here previously about beginner tortoises - as I recall Russians and Herman's have been mentioned. You might try a search.
The problem is that NO tortoise is going to be able to live in a 36" tank for very long. A hatchling could for a while, but you'll soon need a plan for a secure, outdoor enclosure.

Re: Good beginner tortoise?
You can keep a Russian or a Hermann indoors as long as the enclosure is the right size and you provide the correct lighting and food etc.... They make great beginner tort's.

Re: Good beginner tortoise?
This is something I have researched a lot for myself (I loooooove torts!)
For a proper indoor enclosure, you are going to want a space that is MUCH bigger than 36". More on the order of 8ft x 3ft.
The only tort I have found that you can keep in a small space (4ft x 2ft) is an Egyptian tort (Testudo kleinmanni), but that species is extremely sensitive and not considered a beginner species at all.
So, I would recommend the species people mentioned above, but you will need a big space to put a tortoise table habitat, plus an outdoor pen for the warm months.
This is why I don't have any torts I love them but don't have the space to do it up properly.
