: Does any one know any good websites with info about these guys? Also, would a "tortise table" be a good set up for them, or would an aquarium be better? What is the average adult size for either species? Thanks in advance for the info!

There are several subspecies of each, some are different sizes.

There are a bunch of links at
www.turtletimes.com
www.tortoise.org
http://www.tortoisetrust.org

I'm getting my first tortoises next week, 2 hatchling Western Hermanns, the small form, they only get 6-8 inches when adult. The Eastern form gets larger, 8-10 inches, I think there are similar sizes in the Greeks
