Hi, Im considering getting a tortoise, I've wanted a another pet for a while and considered a number of different ones......

I already have a cat, fish, and my housemate also has a bearded dragon. Because of the cat I've counted a number of other types of pets out, i.e. rodents etc......

I probably wouldnt want to buy one from a breeder etc as I do mainly believe in rehoming rather than buying. Do I stand a good chance of being accepted to rehome a tortoise, or as I've not had any reptiles before will I just be rejected straight off?

I have considered how long they live and have consulted the necessary caresheets, but I need to sit down and work out how much equipment would be.

Thx for all your help in advance
