Hello folks!

I just bought a nice young male Russian Tortoise yesterday and wanted to finally sign up here on these forums. I have been following many topics here for a long time and just decided to jump in since I finally have my little RT.

Anyway, I live in southern Indiana and love anything to do with the outdoors. I already posted a question for other RT owners to read.

Thanks for having my guys and have a great day!!

- Bill

Welcome! Glad that you did your research and now have jumped into this very interesting life of tortoise keeping. What made you decide on a Russian?

Thanks for the welcome! I wanted a tortoise, but one that wouldn't get very big. I've also read about their great personality.

Hi Bill:

Welcome to the Tortoise Forum!!

I think you and your little Russian tortoise are going to be very happy together once he gets settled in.

Welcome to the Tortoise Forum! I am a Russian "caregiver" as well. Boris sounds like he is in good hands :) Good luck and I look forward to hearing about Boris' progress :)
