Russian

They definitely don't need friends. Male + Male = Fight. Male + Female = Fight If you want to keep 2 of them, keep them separated.

Hi Jenni. Russians do not require a moist substrate. They originate in arid countries. All they need is drinking water and an occasional soak to keep hydrated.

Welcome, Biffard. I'm near Ogden and have chosen Russians. They do very well.

If you want a site that has lot's of people that PARTICIPATE, this is the only one that I have found.

That is fine, for a desert Tortoise.

Hi Adamkenn. Welcome to TFO. I'm not an expert, having had my 2 Russians for just over a year, but as near as I can tell this is "Normal" procedure for them. BTW, mine are both adults. Good Luck.

You don't want or need a night light. They need dark time also. Unless your night time temps get below 60 deg., don't worry about heat. That's a nice looking Russian (Steppe).

RE: Horsefield tortoise easting less He's fine; just being "normal". Just stick to your normal routine.

Hi Laurie. My adult male is doing the same thing. I have to assume that this is normal for this time of year.
