Hi, I’m James. I live in Brentwood, CA and have done research on tortoises and turtles for the past couple years and I am extremely fascinated by them. I hope to get a russian tortoise pretty soon for my birthday!
Welcome to the forum James ... fingers crossed for the birthday gift you want ? I’m sure you’ve already read the excellent care sheets on this forum and the threads created for beginner keepers. I would advise having the enclosure ready in advance for your new arrival to ensure the temperatures and humidity levels are within the desired ranges for your species. You want to avoid a last minute rush - not only to save yourself unnecessary expense but to make the transition from one home to another as smooth as possible. Good luck, and enjoy ?
