I am new here looking for info and advise about my tortoises. I have a male spur thigh tortoise and a male russian tortoise. I have had them both for about two years. My name is Jacob. Thanks.

Welcome, Jacob. Your steppe tortoise would benefit greatly from being outside a bit every day. The growth on the shell shows he's been in the house too long.

Thanks. And yeah i let them both outside almost everyday. And no my spur thigh and russian are housed seperatley. Im thinking about getting another russian but heard they usually start bullying when in pairs? Would it be a good idea to get another one or no?

Hi! Adorable little dog. What area in KS? I live in Nebraska a few miles off the KS border. With the Russians some do not get along and some do. My own Russians through the years have gotten along really well. Any time you bring in another tortoise, you have to expect they will not get along (or even any time you house more then one together). So the quarantine enclosure you have, may end up having to be made into a permanent enclosure.

I live in Kansas City. And by the way my russian is a female haha.
