I know this is a long shot but I’m looking for a russian tortoise. These things live longer than humans so I know there are a lot of owners out there that are bored of theirs. ---

tortoise and turtle are not the same… turtles are amphibious, tortoises are desert animals. we don’t have Russian tortoises in the US ---

> [@sickboy](#): > > I just saw one at Pet Supplies plus across from the Galleria on Union. Thanks for the info. I won’t buy one there. Most pet stores have wild tortoises. I would prefer a captive bread or at least just one that’s adopted. Pet store tortoises are usually malnourished because they aren’t given the proper food because fresh food is too expensive. If they do get fresh vegetables its usually iceberg lettuce which is very bad for them. ---
