New Russian Group

Just wanted to share photos of my new Russian group. The one female is unbelievably huge pushing close to 8". The whole group has a nice blonde coloration to them. Enjoy.

Tortoises are venomous right?

RE: New Russian Group

Chris, Do you have your guys outside already? I was not sure what the ideal temps to let them outside would be. Nice looking group. What is your male/female ratio?

RE: New Russian Group

Thanks everyone.

I have right now, 1.5 soon to be more.

Russians like Hermann's, iberas and marginatas can stand quite cool temperatures so I do not usually worry with them even hatchlings. Right now we are in the mid 60's to high 70's so they do just fine. The nights go down to the 50's and sometimes 40's but they are up bright and early the next day to graze.

I find this with mine too Chris. I am in UK but my russians are out now. They do have a heated shed to retire to if they wish but they prefer to be out doing their own thing.
