Choosing a tortoise

Im interested in bringing a tortoise into my home maybe in the next 6 months.
This gives me plenty of time to research and choose the right tort for me.

What I want out of a tortoise is one that is a manageble max size for me to handle which would be 30-40 lbs or less. I need to be able to handle the tort by myself for cleaning, moving, feeding etc.
Also I would like a tortoise to have a personality. One that isnt timid when i let him out for exercise. I want him to recognize me and like to be handled.

So far Ive come across Hermann's to be quite suitable in what I want out of a tortoise.
If anyone has any other species that you could suggest to me I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!
