So I'm new. My name is Matt and I care for a male Russian named Freddie Mercury. I live in Georgia, on the coast. Freddie is pretty shy, so I'm guessing he hasn't been handled much. He's at least a year old according to the math that I know for a fact, and I suspect he's probably closer to 2 years.
If anyone has advice on getting him to stop spraying me with urine when I pick him up, I'm all ears. =)
His home is really big. I took a bookcase and laid it on its back, lined it with a tarp, put dirt and coconut substrate down, and added his necessary stuff. I'll probably post an updated pic soon, if people care. It's gone through a number of changes since I started, and I don't have a good current pic now.
Anyway, enough rambling. Except to say I really like turtles, and tortoises, and terrapins too.
