Is my tortoise a Russian tortoise???

[Jovon]

I have a question do you think my tortoise is a Russian tortoise? (sorry the pick is so big it’s my first time using pictures.) She doesn’t look like one to me I “adopted” her from the pet store and I assume that is why bc every tort I see at the pet store that they call a Russian tortoise never actually looks like one. She looks a bit too dark. Let meknowyour thoughts.

It's a Russian, too dry and also skinny

AND! get rid of that watering dish that is NOT good for your tort. Get a nice large terra cotta plant saucer from WalMart garden center and sink it down into your substrate. So much better for ur tortoise.

I will I just haven’t gotten to it today I’ll go tomorrow. I wasn’t sure cuz I read that If ur tort tracks substate and poop in the water they like it a she does that. BTW it was down in my substate so is the substrate not deep enough???
