A few weeks ago I brought home my first tortoise after nearly 30 years of wanting one. A Russian Tortoise named "Boris". The pet shop estimated that he was 1-2 years old, so I wonder if he might be wild-caught or if it's just that the young lady helping me didn't know for sure. I built him a table out of an old dog bed - roughly 1.5x3 ft. Working on a bigger one, but this should be big enough in the meantime. I am a little concerned that his scutes look a little flaky and some image searches lead me to think it might be shell rot, so if anyone can clear that up, I would appreciate it!
