Hi guys my name is Duck and I live in Colorado. My son is in the market for a russian tortoise and thought this might be the right sight for me.

Hi, and welcome to the Forum!

You're correct...this is a good site to learn about what tortoise will fit into your lifestyle. We have a couple of good care sheets pinned at the top of the Russian section. And while you're at it, there are other care sheets at the tops of other species sections too.

Looked at the care sheets section and it looks like there are only 2 And they are for turtles but thanks for the point in the right direction.

When you first log on to the forum, scroll down to the "Species Specific" section. Look for the "Mediterranean Tortoises (genus Testudo)" heading and then click on the "Russian Tortoises" heading. There are several permanent threads at the top that will be good reading for you.

Welcome to the forum.

Oh me too. Every time this forum has changed its format over the years, its taken me a long time to readjust…

Feel free to make new threads and ask lots of questions. We are all here to talk tortoises and questions fuel the conversation.

You have to go to each species section. There are care sheets pinned at the tops of the sulcata, leopard, russian, hermanns, russian to name just a few.
