I know?

I'm in the American East coast. You are a little bit too far xD

Any differences in the care?

Going to an expo this October and I was wondering if there are tortoises with similar care to Russians. I am worried I may not find a Russian so what could I get with very similar care?

Yeah I have a Russian so this is for Russians

Google says they live in rocky areas with elevations of almost 7000 feet. They obviously do not climb as much as geckos or something similar. But they do not live in flag desolate savannahs

By 2nd level I do not mean a complete top as in the complete floor space over it. I mean a 2-3 foot ledge. I am thinking of trying the ramps and if the tortoise seems unsure or uneasy I will remove them and repurpose the ledge as a hide

thank you for this insight xD

Can you elaborate why not?

Russian adult 7". Current enclosure size is 7x4' and I would like to make the upper level 2x4 or 3x4.

I am thinking of adding a second level to my torts enclosure so he has some more square footage. How would I go about doing this? At what incline should I make the ramp? How high will the side guards need to be so my tort doesn't fall off? Is this even something I should go through with? Thanks

Do you have anywhere you buy it from? All orchid bark I see is in very small packages and quite pricey.

Russians like to dig so I think 4 is minimum

Russian adult

I've heard that 8-12" is acceptable for russians
