Nap time !!

[Linhdan Nguyen]

I put them back together to see if maybe Max would be more active being with Khaleesi and they've been taking naps together! Of course im constantly checking up on them to make sure theres no bullying but khaleesi seems to be pretty happy Max is with her. And Max is more active now that I've put him with Khaleesi. I know they probably wont be able to stay together forever given how aggressive and territorial russians can be and Max doesnt seem like hes matured to the breeding age yet. But if it works for them now, I'll allow it.


Theyre so cute !

Also, they seem to take naps together under the basking lamp more than in the log hide, is this normal? Or could it mean the basking lamp should be higher? Its at 95 F right now.

The male is Max, hes the smaller one with the smooth shell, and hes also the one on top in one of the pictures. The female is Khaleesi (like from Game of Thrones) shes bigger and has the bumpy shell.

Your temp is fine, It may just be their preference don't worry too much. Btw what is the placement of the thermometer try puting on the ground and see the temp. That is so cute that they sleep together!

Okay. The thermometer is on the cool side and in the middle. I do test the basking spot often and its always 95.5F or 97 when the soil starts getting dry. And yes isnt it! Im surprised but im still keeping an eye on them to make sure no ones being mean

Awwwww ours used to be like that too for the first couple of years. Little stinkers started being mean to each other so we re-homed one to a good friend (so we had visiting opportunities) and still have the other. He is kept separate from our Leopard torts.
