I will have an enclosure for it outside during the warmer seasons and will have an indoor pen during the colder seasons.What is the best tortoise for a beginner?
The Mediterranean species (Russian, Greek and Hermann's) are a good option for your situation. They are hardy and remain a reasonable size as adults, less then 10 inches shell length. You might also consider a redfoot which are more tropical and get a little bit bigger (about 10 - 13 inches) then the Mediterraneans. Box turtles are another good choice. They are a land based turtle that closely resemble tortoises with an average adult size of 4 to 6 inches as adults. Their diet is more heavily carnivorous then tortoises so earthworms and other feeder insects would be needed. If you will not be able to house it outdoors year round then definitely avoid getting a sulcata!What is the best tortoise for a beginner?
I had a Russian tortoise for a while named Cabby. Cutest pet ever. I currently have three box turtles I've rescued from being ran over.
