Tortoise

Hi, im looking to buy a totoise. I want one that doesnt hibernate as I think they could be easyer to look after than one that does, evan tho you have to provide ligh and heat & so on. I also dont want one that grows up to be to big, maybe upto around 6-7 inches. Can anyone tell me wich it the best breed for me to buy?

Also I found a picture of a very nice creamy colored one with a turquoise markin on it but cant find it anymore, does anyone know wich breed this is?
