Thanks, I really do want to keep him but I'll probably be living somewhere where having even a tortoise table is going to be hard. Not to mention getting him through customs.
I have a male russian that needs a good loving home. I'm moving out of the country in a few months and taking him with me isn't an option. Looking to find someone that knows about torts and will take good care of him.
Thanks for the advice everyone. I was planning on making a tort table once I get back in January. I realize the tub is not even half the space he needs but I need to leave him with a friend for two weeks in December so it's only temporary. Will update with a new picture when more improvements...
Hey everyone, I just needed some more experienced advice on whether this mark on my russian's shell is something to be concerned about and possible improvements I can make to his living space.

I've read that a lot of things can go wrong with a torts shell and just...
Thanks everybody. I think to be on the safe side I'll wake him up.
Is there any advised way to wake a tortoise up other than to make sure their basking spot is warm enough?
Some clarifications,
he stopped eating around four weeks ago and has been asleep for three.
My room is probably at the lowest around 60 degrees probably. Fahrenheit is something I'm not quite used to yet.
I have to leave him with a friend in about two weeks for a duration of about 2...
He's in my room, and he is being kept around room temp so around 50 to 60 degrees fahrenheit. I didn't realize you had to ween them off food but he slowly stopped eating as much and when I realized it he had been sleeping for almost a week. So my guess is around a week.
Hey guys I need some advice on my Russian,
I didn't really read up on the whole brumination/hibernation until fairly recently. I'm worried because it seems like there's a lot of debate about it especially if you aren't sure about what you are doing.
Anyways he's probably been sleeping...
