I don't have Russians, however the local pet store sells them for $99.00 each. So if they are healthy, I would say it is a good deal for everything you are getting. One more thing. How old are the UVB bulbs? If over 6 to 8 months they will have to be replaced. But still I don't think it's a bad deal. Let's us know and post pics if you get them. Good luck:D

I would jump on it myself, if the .3 are actual females and not undersized males.

He sent pictures to me and they are two 5" and one 5 1/2" females and one 4 1/2 inch male he lives about a hour away. He's a big cornsnake breeder and he wanted to try breeding tortoises. But with them still being too small and them eating expenses he wants to focus on just his snakes now. He will be emailing me pics of the torts individually with a ruler by them and some other pics.

If they are healthy and correctly sexed, I think it's a great deal.

Ya I'm pretty excited about it. I'll post the pics he sends me in a bit. Here is the enclosure he is including with it.

They are all CB to so he claims...

Absolutely! If you are wanting to get into russians, that is the kind of deal you want to find! Doc

Table looks awesome, and just about like what I would eventually like to make/have. Definitely wanna see what the torts look like, but I imagine this is going to be a pretty awesome deal, from the looks of it. Just hope that they usually have some sort of substrate down when not photographing the table. :p
