: After six months of research I have decided to acquire a leopard tortoise. I just need a definitive answer to one last question so I can feel comfortable making the commitment. I realise that the leopard tortoise needs lots of outdoor time and sunshine but my worry is humidity. I currently reside in northern Florida and while it is Africa hot in Florida, it is not Africa dry. Can I expect the leopard tortoise to thrive in North Florida humidity? The answer seems to change from one subject matter to the next. I realise that there are tortoises that do better in higher humidity but I would really prefer a Leopard if it is doable.(is that a word?) Inputs and opinions from anyone with first hand knowledge is greatly appreciated.

I have 5 of these great tortoises that spend the summer running my back yard. I live in Indiana and have never had a health problem.
