My Russian tortoise loves climbing his hides which I know is normal but the thing that I don't understand is why he loves falling off of them.

This here is a Russian Tortoise who just arrived at my local Petco (apparently yesterday according to staff). He has a deformity on his face and it seems to have fused his nostrils into one. The staff say his vet appointment is today, to determine if he is just a bit special, or if he is sick...

Hi, I’m new to the forum and was wondering if anyone knows of any breeders in Australia or people willing to ship to Australia for cheap-ish. I’m looking for a russian tortoise. From the research I’ve done it is ok to have them in my state, if anyone knows otherwise it would be very helpful.
