Range : The mountains of Afghanistan,Pakistan,Northen and eastern Iran,Western China, and the Soviet territory Kazakhstan..
Diet : r broadleaf weeds.leafy greens.flowers, and herbs Russians need a water dish in their enclosure at all times.

These tortoises can suffer from most common reptile health problems, but parasites and respiratory infections are probably the most common.
Shelter : burrows dug into the ground at an angle, or one dug straight down.
Conservation : Because of massive importation, this species is currently listed as vulnerable.
