Russian Tortoise

[candy2082002]

Chris said I could get a turtle/tortoise so I choose a Russian Tortoise. I read alot of things about them on http://www.russiantortoise.org and they seem fairly easy to take care of. Does anyone know of another one that would be a good pet? (not a red eared slider or whatever I dont really like those)

is this one of the really tiny ones?

[candy2082002]

no those are Bog turtles and they aren't allowed to be sold cause they are endangered, but I would love one lol

oh wurd, where you can you find them at then in the wild?

[candy2082002]

Bog turtles rely on an abundance of grassy or mossy cover and high humidity. Open, sunny areas where the turtles can bask to raise their body temperature are also important. While hibernating (from the winter months until March or April) bog turtles hibernate underwater in deep areas of bogs in about 6 to 18 inches of mud. Immature turtles do not hibernate in deep mud until they are 2 to 3 years old......dork aye he he
