New addition to the family in VA

[ShaunG]

Hello! I've been reading through the forum for the last several weeks trying to take in all the information. We decided to get a baby Russian Tortoise and found Chris with the Garden State Tortoise through here.

We just received our little 6 month old this morning. We warmed him up with a nice soaking before he was put in his new home. We added some fresh greens, in case he was interested in eating. He pretty much took a straight shot to the food and started chowing down. Then he went and fell asleep in his basking area for a bit of a nap. We are really excited to have him!

@TammyJ He's temp sexed to be male, so we are hoping for a little boy, but we'll still be happy if he turns out to be a she... Now we just have to pick a name for him (her)!
