Hi! We just rescued our first ever Russian Tortoise this summer. I am excited to learn all we can about habitat best practices, hibernation and overall care. Speedy is ~8-10 yrs old per our vet - she was turned into a local reptile store having been found wandering in a sewage ditch She is quite large and very expressive and likes to snuggle. Anyone else with Russian input, I'd love to hear all about it!
