Can my Russian tortoise feel me when I touch his shell? Even softly

If I'm not mistaken, yes they can. Some tortoises really enjoy being petted on the shell.

Thanks for the reply :) the reason I've put it in the debatable is because I'm not too sure because when I touch is leg he will be quite shocked and pull his head in but when I touch his shell there's no reaction

I just had my cowroker "pet" my thumbnail....it feels more like a friction kind of feeling than a petting feeling...I would encourage you all to have someone pet your thumb nail...if you do it yourself it feels different.
