I think tortoises are adoreable, but I have no idea how to care for them. And where to go when I am unsure of care? Google! Then I realized that I have no idea what kind of tortoises to research.
I'm not sure if I will be able to build a secure outdoor enclosure... we've got cats, raccoons, skunks, coyotes, and everything else around here, and limited yard space.
Please, give me a list of tortoises good for beginners and I will read everything there is to read about them! (Please, give me something else to read! I'm going over snake anatomy right now, which isn't exactly interesting once you know the basics. I mean, I don't exactly care a whole lot about what each individual scale is called.)
Also, what are some small kinds of tortoises? Dwarfs, maybe? I'd like to know my options in case it turns out I can't make an outdoor enclosure. And I don't have space in the house for any large enclosures.
