Russian with 2 heads or 2 Russians?

I think it is sad. Poor things, at least they are alive and seem to be healthy the best way they can.

I think it's sad too, and I would put them ..it..to sleep.

Why deny it/them life? If it couldn't survive in it's condition, it would've died some time ago.

Two heads, one arse? Good grief that's going to create a build up. Phillip is bad enough with ONE head. I'd dread that soak

Hi tortoiselover1:

Won't you take a few moments to start a new thread in the "Introductions" section and tell us a bit about yourself?

Love this Story! I've seen it before and think it is very interesting. I'd really like to know its age!....oh, it's only 5 years old...Big for a Russian (or rather 2 Russians!)

The amazing thing is that, from all reports, it's quite healthy...many co-joined tortoises (and many other co-joined creatures, humans included) only live a matter of hours/days, so reaching the age of 5 years means it could live quite a bit longer, possibly decades!.

OTOH, it IS a Russian tortoise, native to some of the most inhospitable real estate on Earth, so living in captivity and having it needs met, how could it do anything but thrive?
