Tortoise Species

Posted by Steven on April 30, 2002 at 16:08:35:

Hi,
I currently keep box turtles. I am looking to purchase a tortoise species. I want something that is larger than box turtles (6 inches), but nothing too large (under 2 and a half feet and less than 75 lbs.). I want a tortoise that can live in a humid environment. I live in Louisiana where the humidity in the summer is usually between 70% and 90%. Space is not really an issue; my yard is fenced in, and it is approximately 70 ft. by 140 ft. I could keep them in a large pen, like I do for my box turtles, or I could let them live in my yard. I have thought about red foots and yellow foots, but I would like to have other options. If somebody could give me a list of tortoises that meet all of my requirements, I would really appreciate it!

Thanks,
Steve
