The best beginner pet tortoises are Hermann's and Russian tortoises, staying 5 to 8 inches with manageable care. Sulcatas reach 100 to 200 pounds and live over 70 years, making them the most surrendered pet tortoise. Aquatic turtles need roughly 10 gallons of tank per inch of shell, and no pet turtle should ever be released into the wild.
