what is the smallest tortoise.

Does anyone know what's the smallest turtle or tortoise?

 

if you are looking for a small tortoise i would suggest a box turtle as it is easy to keep

 

Redfoot tortoises (adult length of about 14 inches) and Russian tortoises (adult length of about 4 to 8 inches) are some of the smaller ones. All tortoises need a lot of space to roam. An outdoor pen is best. Box turtles are easier to keep, they still need a lot of space but not as much as a tortoise and they are easier to feed.

 

Egyptian tortoise, aldut males are only 4 inches long. They are very rare though.

 

i like the red footed tortoise

 

eqyption tortoises are illegal to sell unless over 4 inches, its a law

 

Russians are good. Males normally dont exceed about 8 inches. They make great pets! If you live in an area you can keep them outdoors for at least some of the year, that works well. I also let mine roam around the house when it is too cold for them to be outside.

 

Don't forget Eastern Hermans, they stay pretty small. Here's Tiki, currently at 1 1/2 yrs old.
