Red Foot Tortoise
Popular Beginner Tortoise $600.00 +
These animals are not high-maintenance, as long as you set up their enclosure correctly the first time with proper lights, heat source, and humidity, and put everything on timers. The main daily chores involve feeding, water bowl changes, and cleaning up pet waste. In captivity, these cute tortoises act shy, hide often, or burrow; this is usually a stress response when around predators. In general, they prefer not to be handled but are docile and easy-going. Despite not having teeth, their beaks are strong, and they can bite. While bites are rare and usually unintentional, they can hurt.
ADULT SIZE: 10 to 16 inches, up to 30 pounds LIFE EXPECTANCY: Up to 50 years in captivity

Black Greek Tortoise (Sold Out)
$650.00
Depending on the subspecies, Greek tortoises will grow to between 5 and 8 inches. Male Greek tortoises are usually smaller than females, but there are exceptions.
At hatching, most Greek tortoises are no more than an inch in length. They can grow rapidly when overfed, and reports of them reaching 4 inches in less than two years are common but not recommended. Testudo graeca subspecies are known to be some of the longest-lived tortoises. Reports suggest well into the 100s. In the wild, many do not live past the age of 20 due to predation and other factors. When kept safe and under optimum conditions, Greek tortoises thrive and can live to a ripe old age. Some have outlived their keepers. Although they don’t get as large as other tortoises, Greek tortoises still need ample space, especially if they’re being kept indoors.
