We still have a lot to learn, i am reading things every day trying to sort out whats good for our lady (90% sure female) and whats not good info.
Current wonder is shell condition. She seems so rough ans ruggid. I gor her from a small reptile shop. He seemed very knowledgeable. I believe he said she came from a farm.

Say hello to Gemmi! (If that name sticks who knows) and dont tell my kids but she seems to respond to me much more than them

Welcome. Great care info in the Russian section. She will need a minimum of a 4x8 foot enclosure. Bigger if possible.
She was probably wild caught at some point and most likely the reason for the ruffed shell. She looks good though, seen many more ruffed shells.
Btw, your secret is safe here. Well, that's if you don't let your kids join and they find your threads lol
