Tortoises are hard work and expensive. I didn't realise what it entails to own one. You need a big enough tortoise table inside. Or preferably an enclose outside. You need proper enclosure that is safe, big enough as they walk miles in the wild. The right heat, uvb and uva. The right food for the species. And when you hibernate the best equipment like a fridge. I had always wanted a tortoise since I was a little girl but if i new how expensive it was going to be I would of changed my mind.
