    She is a Russian tortoise. She was not a hatching when I first got her, she is roughly 4inches in size (I don’t know how old she is but she is younger). I use a daylight blue 100 watt lightbulb for heat and I have forest floor substrate for her tank. The heating lamp is on one side of the tank...
