We have waited for years for a good time in our lives to get a Russian Tortoise. Over that time, we have done a lot of research. It was finally time for us and we found Carol S on this site and are so happy we did. Our baby is very happy and healthy. Carol has also been willing to help us with any questions. You can read all you want but it's very different when that knowledge is used to keep your "baby" healthy. Carol has been great, reassuring us and answering questions.
