Russian Tortoises
Elite Procurement Fee: $90
Not every kid is into caring for a slithery reptile, so a tortoise might be more their style. Russian tortoises are extremely docile, slow-moving, and quiet, and they live a long time. They do require proper heat and lighting as well as fresh veggies daily, but their size and demeanor are perfect for kids. Plus, they are very hardy so for kids who might still be learning to handle pets gently, Russian tortoises could be a good fit. They also come with their own built-in helmets.
