First Tortoise

[Mousey97]

I already have a painted turtle, but after finding these forums, I've become very interested in Russian tortoises, for my first tortoise. The thing is, I'm not sure where to start researching their care. Does anyone have any tips or know of a few good websites for these tortoises? Thanks!

Hi Mousey:

A good place to read about their care is www.russiantortoise.org/

If you're looking for breeders here on the forum, I suggest you look through some of the "sold" ads and take down the names of members who have sold them in the past and contact them.

Thank you! I actually did find that site and was looking through it.

Thank you for the link! I think I've got the idea of how to take care of a russian now.
