Hi! So I have just purchased my first Tortoise! I have been a lover of turtles and Tortoise forever and finally did it. I am the proud mom of a small Russian Tortoise. I believe he is a male according to the pictures I found on the web. His name is Morla. I am soooo excited to have him in my life!! Now.....I am scared to death to do do something wrong.

Hi Wendy and welcome to the Forum!

Don't worry. Steppe tortoises are very forgiving of poor care. If you pay attention to the care sheets and give the tortoise the environment, food and care that he requires, everything will be ok.

Have you seen the russiantortoise.org site? Pretty good info over there.
