RE: New Russian owner
Hi everyone. We went into the pet store just to visit and there was a 23 year old Sulcata. My daughter fell in love with him. We thought about it for a couple weeks and decided a Russian would be a nice fit for us size wise and he is very managable for my little girl. We are very excited to have him.

RE: New Russian owner
You are going to love it here!!! I just joined not too long ago and already feel so comfortable. Be sure to read read read!! May I ask how old your daughter is?
I only ask because although I do not have any children myself, I have plenty of 4-13 year olds close by that love to see what I have in. I take the opportunity to teach the kids about native habitat, how to check the weather in the "homeland," natural behavior (why they need hides, basking lights, water bowls etc). It is amazing how much more they get attached and want to provide the best home possible and pay close attention to habits so they can tell when an animal does not seem normal. Each week the kids do a project related to an animal that I have. For the little ones it is usually coloring a picture and for the older ones it is sometimes a small research paper about a habit they find interesting. Sorry to ramble, just get excited about kids and animals . . . And trying to keep them from getting bored and wanting something else. Kindest regards, Mallory
