There are a number of tortoises in the world; these are a general overview of tortoises:



New World Tortoises

-Red-Footed Tortoise, which can include at least half-of-a-dozen morphologies (my favorite morph being Ivory Cherry-Headed Red-Footed Tortoise)

-Yellow-Footed Tortoise, which include a few morphologies.

-Galapagos Tortoise, multiple subspecies, generally is considered the largest tortoise in the world.

-Gopher Tortoise, rare, endangered and on the decline.



Common Old World Tortoises

-Sulcata Tortoise, common tortoise; very large and very expensive to take care of; is the largest mainland tortoise in the world.

-Leopard Tortoise, including the South African Giant Tortoise and the common Leopard Tortoise.

-Kleinmann's Tortoise, a rare species found only in Egypt, aka Egyptian Tortoise.

-Hermann's Tortoise, a Mediterranean Tortoise.

-Marginated Tortoise, again, a Mediterranean Tortoise, another pretty-large tortoise.

-Russian Tortoise, well-known tortoise species; does have a brumation cycle.

-Greek Tortoise, this one is another species with quite a few morphologies available.

Hi depending on the climete where you live there will be many options, you do need to do lots of reaserch into their care and also how to identify them when they are young as many pet shops mis-label breeds as the can be tricky to identify when young. Good luck
