Hello guys! My name is Sara. This is my first tortoise (a russian.) I have had him for exactly a week now and I’m already in love. He doesn’t have a name right now though, as I want to make sure I get it right, considering how long he can live.

I am excited to learn more about him and connect with people on this forum, since you all share my newfound love of tortoises. :)

Hi, Sara! Welcome to the Forum!! We have a very nice care sheet pinned at the top of our Russian section.

Hi Sara,

Welcome to TFO... I'm convinced that this is the best place online to learn about tortoises.

There's tons of great information in the sub-forum for Russians.

I live with a Russian named Chili.

Hi there and welcome!
Call him Methuselah. If there's really anything to a name, then he will live very, very long indeed.
