For my 18th birthday I am recieving a russian tortoise of my choice. For about the last year I have been looking into their needs and etc. (and this website is an application on my phone so I can keep up to date on chatting here). And I have been looking at my local pet stores and checking adoptions that hold reptiles and craigslist and etc.... I've narrowed it down to two.
I am putting all the information I remember about thier behavior, enclosure, the care, and etc... because one factor can affect other factors and blah blah blur blah.
1. Oceans of Pets. It's a local pet store, the only one in my city. (I have a pretty small city)
Price: 139.00 Dollars
Age:The tortoise age is unknown.
Cb or WC: The worker I talked to told me she thought the tortoise was captive-bred.
Amount:They only have one.
Enclosure: Not entirely horrible. Right lighting, but no hiding spots and wrong substrate.
Activeness: (s)he (I didnt think to check gender when I held h(im)er) wasn't very active in cage but more-so when held. (I am assuming in the proper enviorment it would be happier.).
Store care: I am pretty certain no one specializes in reptile care.
Health: Healthy
2. Petco. (I can already feel some members sinking in thier seats).
Price: 99.00
Age:The tortoise age unknown. However they did appear smaller than the other one.
Cb or WC: I never asked, but it is safe to assume WC.
Amount: Three
Enclosure:This store has three in an enclosure larger than the other. they had a better enviorment than the other(however not the best by a long run).
Activeness: Very active. As soon as I approached their enclosure, they turned thier attention to me and were moving about. One promptly crawled into an empty bowl to sleep.
Care: They had a reptile expert in the store.
Health: Healthy.
Thank you for reading. Your opinons are very much appreciated.
