So, a Russian might be falling into my care, and like any reptilian investment I wanted to check with you guys to see what I'm getting into.
One of my boyfriend's coworkers is giving up his male Russian Tortoise which he's had for several years now. His human family is expanding and he "can't" keep it. So I tentatively said I'd take it if he cannot find anyone else in the office to do so.
The Russian comes with his rubbermaid set up, lights, and extra substrate. From the sounds of things and what I've researched online, this guy has taken EXCELLENT care of his "godzilla" (I'll have to change the name, haha).
But I just wanted to see if any of you experienced tortoise owners have any tips or warnings on owning a Russian.
Would I be getting in over my head?
He's really trying to find a great home for the guy, and frankly I'd love him, I just like to double check things before I leap into something...
