Questions about tortoise's

Hello

I have allot of questions.

I'm 15 and thinking about getting a tortoise. I have 2 turtles (Murray river and Eastern longneck) and 2 lizards (pygmy bearded dragons).

I also have 2 dogs, 4 cats , 6 chickens, 2 birds, a fish and 6 guinea pigs. .I know i'm 15 and i can't legally buy one but if i get all of the information about them then maybe my mum will conceder it.

Questions:
1. Do they stay small or are they small just because they are babies?
2. Can you get a tortoise in Australia?
3. If you can't get a tortoise in Australia can you import them and how long will it take?
4. Are they a social animal?


Thank you for taking your time to help me with this information.
