I'm sorry, Tiff Ann....I just can't resist:

Your brother has a fat tail?

All kidding aside, Welcome to the Tortoise Forum!!

What would you like us to call you? and may we know appx. where in the world you are?

Your brother's Russian tortoise is probably a female, while yours is a male. The tail is how you differentiate the sexes in Russians.

Welcome to TFO! (Yvonne you tease!) Pictures would help people to tell you whether your tort is male or female.. and we all LOVE pics anyway.
