Sorry I still think people should have pets suitable to the pets needs not the owners. I would not dream of keeping my tortoises inside all the time. It's not natural for them.
And I would only advise that.
If people ask the should be told the truth, not what they want to hear, to many tortoise grow badly with incorrect husbandry.
They also end up for rehoming when it happens, or when it does not meet the keepers wants.
