There's these new graeca floating around. They are dynamite. They seem to stay about 6 to 8 inches. These are not the 'Syrian' forms. I've seen the same animals from morocco. Very outgoing personality and pretty too.

: Hi all,

: Many of you have seen my post a few back about Egyptian tortoises.... but I'm also open to other options

: Basically I'd like to get a small tortoise, where the adult size is under 10"

: I think this includes: Greek, Hermans, Russian, Egyptian... any I am missing?

: I live in Massachusetts, so we have cold winters, warm sometimes hot and humid summers, but moderate weather otherwise.

: Which of these small guys would be best in this climate, as well as with other factors... feeding, personality, general care.

: Any recommendations or thoughts would be great. I'm planning on getting a hatchling or juvenile, so adult size wouldnt be an issue as of yet, but I dont want to just have to get rid of it after a few years, I want one I will keep as an adult. So far I know of local sources for hermans and egyptian, but I'm sure the other 2 wouldnt be too difficult to find.

: Thanks
