: : I am forced to disagree with a few opinions here. One is that Egyptians are not personable. Mine are very friendly, they will walk up to people and beg for food. I have heard from others as well that this is a personable species. They are not shy at all. However a sick tortoise may act shy. True this is definately a delicate animal, but also a very rewarding one for an experienced keeper. Spiders torts should be in the same boat as Egyptians in regards to hardiness. They are not a good choice, since all availlable specimens are currently wild caught. I just got done treating one of my byrgooi for a respiratory infection.
: : My egyptians tend to eat more than my spiders. Keith, if you are looking for your first tort, look for a cb hermans, cb russian, or cb greek.
: Thanks for the info.
: My main concern is really the size of the tortoise.
: The Greeks seem to get a little big (I've read they
: can get larger than 12"). The Hermans all get rave
: reviews, but what is their largest size?
: The Eqyptians all seem to stay pretty small, and I think they're
: starting to be available as captive bred.
: If I wasn't too concerned about size, I'd go for a Red Foot.
: Thanks again,
: KeithD
