: I was thinking of getting a tortoise, I was hoping to get some information first. What is a good hardy species? Also size is a factor, I am looking for one which doesn't get too large. I currently keep an iguana, 3 chameleons (1 veiled and 2 panthers), and a ball python. What are the smaller species? How quickly do they grow? What type of set-up should I have? I have outdoor enclosures for my currents herps, so I would do the same for the tortoise, but that would only be during the summer months. Any help would be appreciated, also I'm in the Toronto area here in Ontario Canada, any recommended bredders? Whatever info you can give me that you think will be helpful.

: Thanks...

Hi John,
I think the best way to pick a tort is to learn of their needs and see who you can best provide for.
