    Hi I'm new to Russians and this forum

    He sleeps in the wooden hide attached to the table which is about 21degrees or so it does have a heat mat behind glass but personally dont think it does much (just takes chill off). He generally lays under his baking lamp with his head under the bridge out of the sun(light). I want him to burrow...

    Hi I'm new to Russians and this forum

    I made it slightly deeper in the corner as he was scratching there and thought he would have something to dig at instead of scratch. I've just come home from work and hes sunning himself as usual. Hes due a bath today so I'm going to do that soon and weigh him as I had him weighed exactly 4...

    Hi I'm new to Russians and this forum

    This is his enclosure before I added the topsoil xx

    Hi I'm new to Russians and this forum

    Thanks all. I think he's happy it's me that worries that I'm not doing things correctly. He doesn't burrow which bothers me as nearly all others I have read about do. He had coco husk & coir as a substrate when I got him but I have changed 1/3 of this to topsoil hoping he will like it better.
