A Surprise...


I haven't posted an entry in a long time and a lot of exciting things have happened .But today I'm only writing about the most exciting thing that happened today. today I got a Russian TORTOISE!!!!! its about four inches long and eats lettuce and other fruits and vegetables. the vendor that I got it from said they were very easy to take care of.

My Tortoise has brown and black rings on each plate of its shell the vendor that I bough it from said I could bring him outside so he can bask in the sun. The way you can tell a male from a female is by the length of its tail. The male's tail is longer than the female. The male tail is about two inches long. The female's tail is stubby and less than one inch long.

My tortoise doesn't have a name yet. If anyone has suggestions about caring for Russian Tortoises or any suggestions for names for the tortoise, it is a male.

  1. Hey J- What did you end up calling your turtle? Does he stick his head out now and then or curl up in his shell most of the time? Great entries on your blog, you are an amazing guy. Love you, J
