Hey, I recently went to look in my local pet store here in texas and i saw a russian tortoise that was maybe 3-4 inches big or at the most 5 inches. i really want him because hes a fair price (100$ since i get a discount for having a rewards card thing) but i dont know if pet store tortoises are healthy or wild. at the same time i feel kinda bad for the guy and if he is unhealthy that kinda makes me want him more because what if he doesnt like the way hes beeing treated? he seems like a baby, not a hatchling probibally a couple months old if not a year. should i get him? i would also have to buy or make an enclosure and buy things like a setup for uvb bulbs and hiding places and what not since i havent had a tortoise before so i'd be starting fresh. Also hes alone in the little enclosure at the pet store.
