My Russian needs a Forever Home. I have had a Russian tortoise for about a year (I suspect he is a male based on some behavior, also suspect that he is wild caught). I know he is at least 4 years old and I rescued him from a bad situation where he was not being taken care of 1 year ago. I work a LOT, my kids are getting older and are not as interested in the cute little guy (or girl?). I have been reluctant to give him away because I do get worried that someone will not take care of him well and want him to have a good long life! He is healthy and eats great and I have a lamp, log, temp. sensor, food dish etc (and aquarium, I know, not ideal, but best I could do with 2 dogs). As full disclosure, he does hiss occasionally if he gets surprised when I am cleaning something in his cage, but also at times can march right towards me with a friendly demeanor (looks around for me after work every day until he gets fed) when he is hungry. I was hoping someone on this site (You all obviously love your Russians!) and I love this little guy whose name is Tot (Tator Tot). Gail
