: I wanted to do some reseach to see if a tortoise would be a good pet for kids? I also need to find out what tortoise would be best? We live in California near San Franciso. We have a play yard that is 12' x 22 and has a 4" high boarder. My kids do not use this are much. Can a tortoise climb over this 4" high board. This is important becasue I have a pool in the back yard. Please help for the tortoises sake!

I am a 10 year old kid,and I love my tortiose.If you do get a tortiose you mite want to keep it in a sandbox or a pool that you don't use.I am sorry to say that a totiose can climb over a 4 inch high board. But if it is a very small tortiose it probably won't be able to climb that high.The best tortiose to get is a Russion tortiose,but they probably won't eat much at first.Good luck.
