My personal favorite tortoise breed is the Russian Tortoise. I think they are great because they stay small in size. Other tortoise breeds grow to a decent size resulting in huge enclosures. They are also very docile and easy to care for. Make sure they have a basking area and you provide UVB light and maintain its humidity. They are also very affordable and easily obtained. They can be found very easily at reptile expos and pet shops. Just beware that they live a VERY long time so be prepared to commit to them. Best of luck!
