Just purchased Leo 8/18/12. I have a lot to learn about him, but I'm very intrigued.

Welcome.

Leopard tortoises are great. You can read a bit about how I care for them here: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/Thread-Leo-Russian-Tortoise#axzz24DHSTeke and take a look at some of the other caresheets regarding sulcatas, which require about the same care.

Hi! Am I understanding correctly? You just got a Russian tortoise name Leo?

Good catch Jacqui lol. When I originally went through the original post, I saw "I just picked up a Leo".

I had figured that. It made me go back to the first post and reread and then do the post making sure I did read right. Glad it's your day to do such a thing, not mine again.

Yes that is correct, Leonardo the Russian Tortoise...Leo for short. My niece an nephew could not agree on a name, so they had to choose one of the 4 Ninja Turtles...Rafael, Michaelangelo, Donnetello, Leonardo. The agreed on Leo.

Lol..yes. This was on the way home from the pet shop and it's the first thing that came to my mind to stop the arguing. My niece is 4 and My nephew is 7. It worked well. My nephew is really into Leo. We watched him for hours this weekend. Really cool.

I just got two Russians In June. I am learning so much, and they are already like family. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Thank you I am enjoying him very much.
