Hello, everyone! I have recently got a tortoise, but this is my first time and I really want to give him a good life. I want to know what species he is. I believe he's a Russian tortoise, but I'm not sure.
I am from Lebanon, Beirut if that helps!
He is so adorable! He has a ribbon and he loves to eat and dig lots!
The place I got him from gave me fish pebble as substrate (? I'm not sure if that's the right word, I mean the stuff in his enclosure that he walks on). Is it good?
Also, I can't really afford UV light as I don't have a proper place for him and I might move around a lot with him, is that OK? I don't want to give him anxiety or anything.
And I'm also not sure how to give him water other than putting him in shallow water.
Any help would be much appreciated!! Thank you so much.
