    Can anyone help tell me the sex/gender of my Russian tortoise?

    If you meant to ask why she was only 6 inches, that is because that is about full grown for a russian. Females can reach 8 or 9 inches but it rare.

    I'd say female from the tail size, anal scute shapes, and lack of a concaved plastron.

    Lighting - is it bright enough

    When you said orchid bark chips I did not realize you were referring to fine grade orchid bark. I use fine grade orchid bark my self and it is wonderful, sorry for the confusion.

    Lighting - is it bright enough

    In my opinion, you should not be using the orchid bark chips for it can cause impaction, prevents digging, and does not hold moisture well.
