The Perfect Tortoise

Once you are at the pet store picking out your tortoise, you want to make sure you choose the right one, to avoid having a lifetime of unhappiness. Tortoises age ranges from 30 - 100 years. If you are planning on training your tortoise to be gentle with humans, you will want to pick one that is freindly. Pick one that is more active, or ask a specialist if by any chance any of the tortoises is sick, or has health issues. Ask for a care sheet, in case of sickness, habitat issues, etc. Make sure you hold the tortoises before to make sure their shell is not soft and none of their skin or shell is cracked.
