I caught a comment in another thread that someone stated it is illegal for pet stores to sell tortoises smaller than 4 inches.
Assuming it is true, it would take like 10 years for a Russian to reach that size and that means that most in pet stores are wild caught overseas. I hear there are a lot of problems with parasites in wild caught tortoises.
So, who does this law exactly apply to and under that circumstances ?
Also, anyone have their Russian tested and what did they find and what was done about it ?
If you have experience, who would you buy from ?
