Most pics I see of Russian Tortoises they aren't yellow like mine? I've always thought it was normal but I'm starting to get worried. Here's a pic.

It's normal every tortoise is going to have different coloring. No worries

I have seen so many different colors. I'm sure there isn't anything to worry about...

Your tortoise is very pretty and unique, that's nothing to be worried about.

Ok thank you! I just love her so much I get paranoid with every little thing that could be wrong! And I've only had her for a year! Thanks everyone!

One of my Russians is light in colour too, I think it is just a variation. I think I remember a post a while back where someone said that they go a yellower colour with artificial lighting but I don't know if that's right or not. Harley (my lightest one) is a very active, happy girl so I don't think it's an issue. I too worry about my babies all the time :s
