Stazz said:Oh Ernie has such a sweet face ! Congrats, what a great birthday prezzie
tortoisenerd said:Thanks for sharing! Congrats. What kind of wood is he on? Can we see the rest of the enclosure? He's cute. Where was he acquired from? I love my little Russian. So much fun, agreed!
tortoisenerd said:I meant the substrate...sorry!
Yup, 99.9% sure he's wild caught if from Petco. Please take him to a reputable vet and get a fecal test for parasites. These are more highly prevalent in WC torts, but all torts pretty much have them (my captive bred tort even has two of them). Best wishes and have fun.

Too late your lost. Having the names already in your mind proves it. That's okay, as far as addictions go, I think this is the healthiest and best one to have.sammi said:Jacqui said:What a serious face he has! Sounds like my kind of birthday present.
