Hello,
I am an experienced tortoise RESEARCHER, but not yet a tort owner :( I am thinking of getting a Russian soon though. These seem to be good beginner torts, am I right?
:P I <3 Russians :P
I like in Southern Virginia, right near NC. I would gladly take the torts but sadly cannot handle the rabbit. We need to get the word out D:

Hermanns grow quite a bit larger. Russians vary from 5 to 12 inches, females growing a good deal larger than males. Not an expert on Hermanns, sorry.

I agree with Tom on the fact you should ask your nephew first, but if he gives the okay I would recommend topsoil and coco coir or just coir.
