hello
I have 4 tortoises.

2 hatchling testudo graeca ibera (spur thigh) and 2 leopard torts.

both of mine have indoor accomodation but defenetly not a vivarium.
my hatchling have an indoor rabbit cage set up, and my two leopards have a tortoise table (wodden box)

this allows for good ventelation and also the torts can regulate their body temperature.

the substrate is 100% steralised top soil (wich you can pick up and b&q)
and they have a few bits of slate to feed of and bask on.
heres a couple of pics


this was a while ago, but you get the general idea.




they need a good basking spot with a temp of about 30c but this is depending on what species you would get, and they also need a good soure of u.v.a and u.v.b.

as for going out side, depending on what species you get (say you got a med species) you could have it out every day from about may to september and ensuring it has a predator proof enclousure and there is no frost warning you could let him sleep outside.

i hope i've helped
tortoises are amazing pets, that if you look after well they can live for many years.
