You have to look up on these things. They hibernate in the winter and need attention. You can't keep it locked in a cage yet you can't exactly let it run freely outside.
Also they live very long so you have to be willing to look after it for many years to come.

i wanted one ages ago, they are well cute. i heard that they are quite expensive as they are quite rare nowadays, whereas a couple of decades ago they were apparently really popular, my mum even had one when she was young.

I had a teripan. only lasted a year, was only small aswell, but was poisoness. had to wash my hands everytime i picked it up and put it down. Quite exspensive to house

I don't believe in keeping snakes, lizzards and tortoises as pets or any pet that lives in a cage/small space. Plus they cost a lot to own as you have got to pay for lamps, heating, bedding, pen/cage/what ever and the food. In the winter you don't see them at all. Do your research before you even think about it, so your fair on your self as well as them.

i got two turtles. not the same as tortoises at all because turtles live in water. tortoises require heating and humidity, real hard stuff to control indoors. and lol at previous posts saying terrapins can live 1000 years and that they are poisonous. tortoises do not always hibernate, you can control whether or not you want it to hibernate or not by controling the temperature during winter.

Tortoises rawk but make sure you are gonna look after them properly if you do get them like people have said above :]

I think they are great. They have lived through wars and stuff, so get one so it can give you the turtle perspective on history. Even if it has lived in a garden all its life, in a box, it still must overhear a lot of things, so it learns it, then has a good memory because it lives for like 5000 years. So just learn how to speak turtle, and they rock.
