I would like to own a tortoise or a box turtle as pet!
I was looking for a red foot in a reptile store, and the store keeper show me an eastern box turtle, it is beautiful!
He told me that a box turtle is kind of like a tortoise only it is smaller in size and it eats every thing!
Can anyone tell me the difference between tortoise and box turtle? and Which one of them is better for a beginer?
