Looking for breeding adult male Russian Tortoise

[Kingsley7]

Hi everyone, I am planning on starting a breeding project with Russian tortoises over the summer and am having trouble finding a breeding male. I locked down two beautiful large (7" plus) females and am trying to at least find a single male to partner them up with. If anyone has any leads it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Kingsley7,
I have an immature male Russian tortoise and I've been looking for a female to breed with him in the future. Only issue is that he's not mature enough yet(only about 1 1/2) years old) and I'm only about 85% sure that he's male. His shell is around 4". I know that he's no where near breeding but I would love to help with your breeding project!

Here's a picture because why not:

He’s a beautiful tortoise, thank you for reaching out with him! It’s always good to have a bigger breeding group for the future so I am interested despite the age.... How much do you think you’d sell him for?

Sorry if I interpreted your message wrong, but I didn't know you meant selling my tort to you. I was thinking(yes, it sounds ridiculous) that we could somehow let the torts meet each other and have them mate so we could obtain eggs. But, I would be glad to help you with your project and maybe make a website since I'm pretty good at that stuff.

Hahahaha ohhhhh im sorry! I thought you meant you would sell your tort, I took your message the wrong way that’s my bad... but maybe in the future we could do that.

Yeah it's ok!

There is someone in the adoption section looking to rehome a male Russian.
