My first Russian Tortoise

Here is a good web site to read about a recommended diet and enclosures.

And as mentioned, if there is any way to set your tortoise up safely outside in the summer months (even during the day, inside at night), he will thrive.
As long as you keep the substrate moist (not wet), you don't have to worry about humidity.
This is a good bulb when your tortoise will be inside: both heat and UVB

(look on Amazon too).

After you investigate the above web site, be sure to ask more questions if you have them!

Many thanks for this!
