Hello from Dallas

[dfwbeckett]

I have recently acquired a Russian Tortoise (Tonka Tank) and as you can see from the pics, he's doing fine outside in the back yard climbing and digging.

Had another, Yertle, for 2 years. He got away last year when our neighbor left the gate open. We now have locks on the gates.

Looking forward to learning more about RTs and sharing some pics of these incredible escape artists...

Welcome to the forum

Tonka Tank is very cute

That must have been really hard when Yertle got away
