I'm researching tortoises.
Do any of you keep tortoises? If you do what kind are they? Would you recommend them as a good pet? Describe their characters and quirky little ways, please. Do you have any photos? The good and bad points of owning one? Please can you share as much information as possible on them. The sort of information not found on websites. You know, the sort you only find out from keeping them!
Thanks.  |

You do a fair amount of space for the tortoise table and enough garden to do an outdoor enclosure. But they are lovely. Really pleased with our little Ebenezer. |
