Hello everyone. This looks like a fun place to talk tortoise. . I'm a life long turtle and tortoise lover. I had turtles in my younger years but tortoises now have a special place in my heart. I've had my Russian for about 6 years now. He is a wonderful little tort and quite a pistol. Personality plus, that one! I also have 2 yearling Red Foots that I'm head over heels for. Thanks for listening. LOL
