So far I know that I could meet the needs of the tortoises I've mentioned below, but I need some additional information:

I like the Leopard and the Hermann's most, it's shallow but they're prettier, I also like the Russian(I'm not basing my decision just on looks though). The Leopard is going to grow larger than the Hermann's, and that is not a problem unless it gets to the size of those rare 100 pounders. I would like a tortoise that's going to be around 12-18" full grown. The Hermann's will only get to about 8" that's not bad and the Leopard more than 18". How common is it for a Leopard to grow to 100lbs and what is they're average size? Would a Russian be a closer fit?

Thanks

Carmen
