I'm just so interested to see what y'all think. To clarify, I mean outgoing, won't hide in its shell while you approach, etc. My personal opinion is Russians, because Oscar never hesitates to run up to me (for food, of course)

I am very interested in buying a red foot or yellow foot tortoise in the springtime. I don't know which one to get! :). Can you guys help me make my decision?

Got an adult Russian tortoise (wc) around Halloween, from the start she wasn't very active. I guess that that's just her personality. My main concern is that she is now beginning to have watery eyes, almost as if she is crying. Does anybody know what's going on? I have an exotic vet within 30...

I purchased an adult Russian Tortoise from LLLReptile, and she arrived healthy, and was eating regularly. I definitely recommend LLLReptile not only for their supplies, but also for their tortoises. In fact, I'm so satisfied with them that I'll buy from them in the future!

I see a little bump on her shell right behind her neck, and when she looks up, or puts her head into her shell, it rubs against it. Is there anything I can do to help it? (Without damaging her shell, and negatively effecting her health)

Hello!!! My name is Oscar and I have a couple of Russian tortoises, one male and one female! I live in NC! :tort::):cool:

I have two Russian tortoises, one male and one female. Recently, I have started seeing some biting from the female. The male didn't do anything to provoke her. Yes, I am 100% sure that the biter is a female, and that the tortoise receiving bites is male. Is the female acting up because she is...
