emysemys said:If I'm remembering correctly, your tortoise is a Russian. I took in about 10 Russians during the winter several years ago. Because its cold here and I didn't want them to hibernate, I had to set them up indoors. With the lights and heaters on them constantly, I knew they would dehydrate, so I soaked them once a week. All of those Russians absolutely HATED that soaking. Every time I put them in water they scrambled and scrambled the whole time. However, in the Spring, when I put them outside in their large pen, a pen that included a water tray, they all, at one time or another, climbed into the water on their own to take a drink. So, because of MY experience with Russians, I came to the conclusion that Russians just don't like a forced soak. That might not be "the Rule" but it certainly was true of my little group of Russians.

She said that Toby was about the same size now as when she got him, but he might have gotten a little bit bigger. However, when I posted his picture on another thread, a member said he looked closer to 25-30 years old! So I really don't know of his age. Does anyone know how to identify his age? Thanks for your input!
