My name is Sioux. I live in Houston, Texas and have a very sweet Russian tortoise named Mr.T. I'm not sure how old he is, as I got him from someone that was giving him away for free in my grandmothers neighborhood. I do know that we wasn't given the proper care with his previous owners such as, he only ate pre-shredded iceberg lettuce from a bag, had less than a half inch of substrate in his enclosure, didn't have the proper lighting/heating, and had never been soaked. I've had him since November 30, 2016, about 5 months, and have obviously changed all of those things. He gets soaked once a week. He mainly likes to eat red leaf lettuce and butter lettuce. He doesn't like variety in his diet, like a lot of the things I've read on his species. He is so much fun though! I am open to any advice and tips!
