I work at Petco and we just got two new Russian tortoises a week ago...
I'm so TEMPTED... one of them has so much personality! Usually they aren't very happy little guys and sleep most of the day, but we have one (I don't know if he even falls over the 4 inch rule because he's pretty small) that is just so full of personality. He (or she) is constantly getting into trouble, ramming into the other tortoises... trying to burrow under the giant water bowl and getting stuck... I swear we have to right him at least 3 times a day after he flips himself over trying to climb the half log hide.
He looks different than the other torts in there, his shell is way lighter which I think I remember someone saying that meant he's captive bred...
EITHER WAY, how do I resist the urge!?
