Russian tortoise

[Stephanie D]

This is Pyjak, my male russian. I've had him for about 2 months now. I have Urtle my female for about 10 years now. They are separated and I'm in the process of building him a table. Almost done ! I'll post pictures

Hello Stephanie

Hello and welcome.

I see one of those ramped water bowls in your pic. We've seen tortoise flip and drown in those. Just wanted to warm you before its too late. Terra cotta plant saucers sunk into the substrate work best.

I've had it for about 11 years now..no problems yet. But I did take it out already anyways, I soak him every other day instead

You should still make water available all the time.
