 Hermans or golden greek

Hi i have a hermanns, but a greek or hermanns are both great tortoises.

I mostly chosen the hermanns for their pattern on the shell, but golden greeks have lovely coloration.

haha yeah i love them both. what are each of their temperments like? also, which one will do better indoors? i will probably be keeping it inside for the first year since i will be getting a hatchling, then next summer move him to an outdoor enclosure.

yeah Ive seen them do that with red foots too.
Soo sad they dont know anything about animals.

Last time I went they
1.Had wild caught red sided garters
2. they let their oscelated skinks breed, then all the babies drowned in the water bowl because they didnt take them out.
3.Dead bearded dragon
4. dead and dying green tree frogs.
5. leopard frogs with out water bowls
6. FED BEARDED DRAGONS AND GREEN IGUANAS UNIONS!!!!! AND ICE BURG LETTUCE!!!!!!!!
7. had all the wrong temps and humidity for their whites tree frogs.
8.had a pacman frog as a red leg walking frog
