Hi! My name is Nadine, I come from the North-East of Scotland. I have a 2 year old Russian tortoise called Tiny A'tuin, I am unsure of which sex- hence the unisex name!
I really like the first photo. You just don't see a lot of good "reaching" photos and yours shows it so well. I have a question, who told you it was only 2 years old?
Well the lady who used to own a reptile shop in my city knew a breeder who she contacted for me. I got him in feb and was told he was a 2009 hatchling. The top pic is not long after I got him and the bottom one is very recent. As you can see he has a fair bit of new growth in the bottom one. His scl now is 83mm it was 77mm in feb. Is he look too big to be a 2009 hatchling?
Yeah I love the top one, here's another reaching one, except this time he is trying to reach so hard both his feet are off the ground lol
