Where are you located? Than may help us with ideas, or perhaps someone near you has a boy they are looking to re-home. :)

You do know, they will have to be kept separated. If you want to breed them, then you should get two or three females, for your one male. If you do just the two and you house them together, you most likely will end up with a very sick, injured or dead female.


This member is selling or trading. Only a group though of 1-2 and won't ship, but will drive upto three hours. Check it out and pm him if interested in talking.

100.00 is not a terrible price for a Russian. It can however be beat. I would recommend keeping your eyes open on your local craigslist. Those torts are most often from petco petsmart etc. And the person got bored with it. Those guys need homes too. At least that way your not buying from a retailer. And the tort has been in your local environment so is already acclimated. Vs. Having one shipped from an online source.
