: you cant buy a desert tortoise the only way you can have one is to a adopt one, but you have to live in calf. or nev. So please tell me the next largest torotise that hibernates thank you.

Well....there are several non-native tortoises readily available as CB hatchlings or CB subadults. Testudo ibera, Testudo marginata, Testudo hermanni. Some but not all Testudo graeca graeca, but you really have to know where they were collected from or you will kill them with hibernation.
