Yesterday randy had his first visit to the vet since I rehomed him, it ended up being really great experience and thanks to all of the help and advice from everyone on the forum. The vet was impressed at how knowledgable I was about the appropriate care for a Russian tortoise and I explained how great of a resource this site as well as Randy's previous owner. I found out Randy's in great health, he's actually estimated to be around 30-40 years old! He was so well behaved and was a good sport about getting his beak trimmed a little. I am so thankful to have a great resource to help me take care of my little guy!
