My First Tortoise

Posted by Nick on June 05, 2001 at 16:51:44:

Hey everyone.

I've been raising aquatic turtles for a year or two now and I want to get a tortoise. Unfortunately the pet stores around here are "iffy", so of course I came here for some info :)

I could first off use advice on what the best beginner tort is (preferably around/under 50lbs). Also, it's going to be a few months before I'm ready to begin looking to buy one, but are there any good site or breeders on here to buy one from?

The plan is to buy a baby/juv tort and house it in a 30g breeder aquarium. Basking light, uva/uvb lamp, heat rock... and anything else you guys/gals can tell me about :)

Thanks!
