ya buddy! best tortois to get imho, can get a baby and actually out live it perhaps, and not have to hope your childrens children decide they will keep it too LOL, no just kiding on the others ie sulcatas, i had a little baby for years lol sorry really could not help it :P and they get a good indoor size, but i will get a red foot when the time is right. if i buy some land one day, i can ganrantee i will take in a couple sulcatas that need rehoming that is for sure, i find turtle to be so magestic, unbelievable how strong they are, cant imagine the way their legs look, that they would even hold them up, but effortlessly can carry a small child on their shell. very cool!

I read an awesome article on them in a magazine while my internet was out, since then been reading up on them a lot more. Not really ready for the commitment of a tortoise just yet, but I definitely hope to be. I like their small size and temperament mostly, but their colours are awesome as well! Seriously great animals, let alone reptiles!
