So today I had my first vet check-up on Ayden, and I was so relieved to have her tell me that he looked to be in excellent health! He is exactly one pound and is 5 inches long, and the vet said that his being active with bright eyes and clear airways and all around surprisingly clean was very good and that he seemed to be in great condition. I was also interested in the fact that she said that his shell looked very smooth for him to be a Russian. She said that he might be cross bred with something else but that he was at the very least mostly Russian so I was intrigued by that as well. All in all I was just very pleased that he was in good health you can do everything that you're told to do and pray that it's for the best, but when a specialist looks over your tort and is that happy with his condition then it just makes you wanna go "yayyyyyyyyyy i didn't mess up" XD
