Hello everyone and thank you in advance for any help. So I was just browsing through the tortoise forum because I was bored and I always learn random new facts, and I came across a thread about Russian tortoise subspecies. Someone had asked if you can breed russians of a different subspecies. The reply was, "Yes but the fertility will be low." This worried me because it is hard enough to get success with russians as is, and now I might have to worry if they are the same subspecies.
- I am planning on breeding my male and female (kept separate except for breeding, female is too young right now) and am just wondering if anyone has a clue on what subspecies they each appear to be. Here are the pictures.
Female day of being bought
Female about a year later
Male, day of being bought
Quick shot of both male and female together only for the picture. By the way, they were just kept on sand for a week until I changed the soil, this was in december when I brought them indoors.
