This is one of the topics I have been barked at for most. I have had my Russians for years and they have been in captivity for even longer than that. I'm not sure if they are wild caught or not, but the point is that they have been in a good home for far longer than in the wild or in transit. I've been observing them since I got them and neither of them shows any sign of disease, bacterial, parasitic, fugal, or otherwise. Neither of them has shown any aggression towards the other or my CDT on the rare occasion that they see him. I have my smallest one now sharing an enclosure with a Sulcata hatchling. I am still constantly observing the two of them, and no problems have been incurred thus far. Is anyone in the same position as I am, or does everyone truly believe that inter species life cannot be sustained? Tortoises in the wild live with not only other reptiles, but mammals and birds as well.
