small tortoises?

[lychas]

Look for Geometric Tortoise (Psammobates geometricus) , Tent Tortoise ( Psammobates tentorius), Kalahari Tent Tortoise ( Psammobates oculifer) Karoo Padloper ( Homopus boulengeri) and Padloper (Homopus signatus).

These are all gorgeous little tortoises.

Of all of these I have yet to see a Geometric tortoise in the wild.

Hope it helps

they look so kool, i wanna move 2 america and get some, are they all as hard 2 keep as the tent tortoise?

I don't know. I live in South Africa and we aren't allowed to keep them.

They are reasonably small. A full grown Padloper is barely bigger than your hand. Tent tortoises and Geometric tortoises aren't much bigger.
