Coming up on my one year

[AndrewTillmann]

With my Russian buddy Doug. Just want some second opinions on how you guys think he looks! Meaning shell and whatever. I feed him a large variety of greens. Most of which I grow myself. Kale, collards, Swiss chard, dandelions, and hostas among other things. I have a cuttlebone in his zoo med tortoise house and give him calcium powder once in a while on his food. I have both UVA and UVB bulbs and his house is generally around 85-90 in the basking spot and 75 on the cool side. I soak him once weekly.

I keep calling Doug a him but I'm 99% sure he's a she anyway, I'm gonna attach some pictures. If you guys could just comment on what you think of his shell and stuff, that'd be great! The scratches on his shell were there when I got him from petsmart infact he looks basically identical to when I got him. I love him very much and I hope he's looking good

Ps. I plan on bringing him to the vet soon for a worm check.

Thanks guys!

Doug looks pretty nice to me. But I would soak more often if it were me anyways. The shell looks really nice. My Russian Ophelia has a few bad spots on her's due to her first 7 years of bad raising. But since I got her 2 years ago she gets everything she needs as far as food and stuff. And her shell looks a lot better then it did. Keep up the good work!!

I can definitely soak him more often. I always have time for my best friend!

I should also mention I take him outside and sit with him for an hour or two on days that I have time. He seems quite happy and healthy so I hope that's the case!

Congrats on the one year mark. He/She looks pretty darn good too me. Glad you enjoy him/her so much. They are great family members that's for sure.
