Hello everyone!

Now that we have moved to a state where it's legal to own a tortoise, I'm wanting to add one to our collection of reptiles!

While I love how beautiful Redfoots are, I think I want something that requires less humidity and stays a little smaller.

We live in SC now, so the summers can be brutal (hot and humid) if it's anything like where I lived in TN that is just 3 hours away.

We've already had a 90 degree day, but it's back to the 60s and 70s now.

We're renting a house, but we do have a spacious back yard that has plenty of grass, clover and dandelions, so we could put a pen back there.

I know I will want to start out with a hatchling, and one that is fairly easy to care for since torts will be new to me. I also want one that will have a good personality and that doesn't mind other people. My hubby and 2.5 year old son and eventually our 4 month old son will want to interact plenty, as well.

Will some of you with experience chime in and provide me with a reliable care sheet? Some of the ones I'm finding don't match up.

Thanks so much!
