OverviewRussian tortoises (Testudo horsefieldi) are wonderful little tortoises with big personalities. Ranging in size from 5 to 8 inches long and weighing about a half pound to two and a half pounds (300 to 1500 gms), they can be kept outdoors in Arizona or can often do quite well with relatively modest indoor caging.Russian tortoises do well in appropriate outdoor enclosures in the Valley of the Sun. They may stay outside year-round with appropriate attention to providing a good hibernating spot and keeping out predators and rodents.Russian tortoises average five to eight inches long, with a rather flat, roundish, yellow-green or olive carapace (top of the shell). Males are usually smaller than the females, and are most easily sexed by the male's tail, which is longer and thicker than the female's (when withdrawn in its shell, the male's tail will lie against its thigh). The plastron (underside of the shell) in both males and females is usually blotched with black, or may be black all over.This beginners guide provides vital information on the origin, physical attributes, temperament, health problems, feeding, and socialization of this wonderful pet.Get your copy today by scrolling up and clicking Buy Now Full Product DetailsAuthor: David JoePublisher: Independently Published Imprint: Independently Published Dimensions: Width: 12.70cm , Height: 0.20cm , Length: 20.30cm Weight: 0.036kg ISBN: 9798677968761Pages: 28 Publication Date: 22 August 2020 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Temporarily unavailable The supplier advises that this item is temporarily unavailable.
