Hi Guys,
I am new to Tort ownership and after spending almost the whole day reading threads on your site... I have learned I may be off to a rough start. I evidently made the big mistake of beleiving a PetSmart associate when she told me that My new Russian Tortoise was captive bread. He seems very healthy and friendly. He loves to have the top of his head rubbed and was eating as soon as I introduced him to his new home. Maybe Im lucky and got a good one. Either way, he was a gift for my wife who has always loved turtles. We have had easterns and currently have two HUGE red ear sliders. I have our new addition in our custom enclosure that we built for our last eastern but plan to build him an Awesome table soon!.
One thing im not too sure about is his age. The nice young lady at PetSmart told me that he is Male and is less than a year old. He is about 4" long (minimum legal size for sale in SC) How old do you guys think he is?? Thanks in advance for your help.
