Before you get into any type of animal you should do your research. But tortoises in particular need special care. For example, snakes are OK with small places, but a tortoise will need lots of space to live a happy live.

I am talking about outdoors keeping, tortoises need to eat natural grass end greens eventually. I do not recommend you feed your tortoise market greens every day. This is part of Tropical Tortoises.

This is because they contain too much nutrients, which is good for humans, but tortoises are built to extract nutrients from the grass and if feed too much nutrients, they will be absorbing all and it could result on a metabolic bone disease.

I also recommend you bear the responsibility of serving that animal for the rest of its life. Tortoises in general will live for a long time, they may even outlive you, so be prepared to leave it to someone else when you are too old.
