I've had GT for about 3 months now, and people have been asking me how i like having her as a pet. I'd have to tell everyone that a Russian is a GREAT STARTER pet, especially for children. The are pretty easy to care for. And fun to watch. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!

You guys are CRAZY! ! ! ! I love it. I too have been thinking about getting a 2nd Russian. Would the 4ft christmas tree box be big enough for 2? ? ? Or would i have to bigger? ?
