Hey everyone!
I'm new to the tortoise world, and am wanting to get a tortoise as my new pet. I have been doing some research, but I still have some questions to be answered... and who better to ask than the professionals- you guys!! So, I have decided on a Russian tortoise. That much I know. I am pretty sure of what I am going to use to make his/her enclosure. I live in an apartment and am in college and am wondering what I would do with my tortoise during Christmas break. I could take him/her home with me for a month, but would the traveling be detrimental to him/her? What are your favorite types of substrates, foods, and lighting to use for your tortoise? Where is the best place to buy a tortoise from? Any other useful information or advice you have would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!
