Marginated & Spur Thigh ...decisions...
It's my birthday next week, and I'm getting a Tortoise
 trouble is, after lots of research, I've narrowed it down, but I can't decide if I should get a Marginated (which is winning) or a Spur thigh. Similar in care, but not so sure on the personalities. Which makes the better pet? Thanks..

If it were me I would go with Marginated just because they are a nicer looking tortoise imo, they seem to be a gentle breed, dont know about Spur thighs
