New to the forum I have 7 Russian Tortoises and one Golden greek. My husband and I have had 3 Russians for a while now then we adopted the other 5 from someone who was about to abandon them. Vassili Zaitsev was our first. He's about 9cm and he acts like he's got ADD . Sascha (7cm) was our second and he's our little baby. Mila (10cm) was our 3rd. She got injured as a baby so her shell is warped and nobody else wanted her so we took her in . Then we got Henrietta (20cm) who's a big goof ball, Louis Armstrong (9cm) who sleeps alot and looks asleep when he's awake, Frank Sinatra (9cm) the friendliest little tortoise ever and Chloe (8cm) our little sweetheart and then Zues our golden greek.

I also have one of those kinds. My friend gave me during my graduation. But I like your work. Have you tried to use the pink or blue color for the beads? That is a great combination, I think.
