Hi guys I am thinking about getting a male russian tortoise to live with my female. I am wondering, do russians prefer being together or apart from each other and should I buy another one? all advice is appreciated
wellington said:Ditto with above post. However if you have a very large outdoor area and want to add two or more females, you will have a better chance of it working. Just be sure it's large, there are several hides, lots of site barriers, several feeding and water stations and be prepared to house separately if it doesn't work out.

My tank is about 3 and 1/2 feet by 2 and 1/2 feet by 9 in, but I am planing on upgrading to a larger tank.
