Hello. I am thinking of getting a tortise. I have experience with beardies, geckos, and snakes, and did help to care for a desert tortise at a wildlife rescue, but other than that, I don't know that much about them.

I LOVE star tortoises, but a few articles say they aren't the best for beginners. I would love some suggestions, and any feedback on care, other tortoises that stay small, etc.

I have done research, but much of what I reads is contradicting.

Thanks,

Draba
