Introducing Myself

[Amy P]

Hi my name is Amy & I have a Russian Tortoise named Koopa. My husband got me him for Christmas this year because I’ve always loved turtles & I’ve always wanted to have one of my own. Koopa is an energetic little guy & we love having him as part of our family!

Could we see a picture of the full enclosure?
What are your temperatures?
Basking spot? Cool side? Warm side? Night temps?

Your tortoise needs an entire enclosure full of substrate, at least 4 inches deep. Russian tortoises are diggers, and need to be able to burrow.

I’m sure you’ll love it here! I was hooked the minute I joined
