Hello! I am thinking of getting a tortoise as a pet, and am leaning towards the Russian tortoise (as it is small and super cute, and I hear a great beginner tortoise). I know I will have to put some money into a set-up and getting everything initially, but I'm wondering if anyone here has a vague idea of what they might spend on their tortoise over the course of a month/year?... Excluding crazy vet visits of course. I want to make sure a tortoise fits into my budget before I get one. So things like replacement bulbs, food...
Thanks everyone! And any advice you have for a potential new Russian tortoise owner would be fantastic!
