100% Russian tortoise and welcome to the forum. I don't know how to link chats but hopefully @Tom can send you the Russian tortoise care sheet. (If there is one which I am mostly certain there is)

I guess by now you know it's a Russian tortoise! Welcome. Call him Zelensky. If you can't think of anything else...lol.

Hello and welcome.

That substrate is totally inappropriate and dangerous. You need to get the tortoise off of that ASAP. Pet shops give terrible advice and sell you the wrong products. The care sheet the Mark left for you in post number 8 will give you all the correct care info. Questions are welcome.
