Imported Elongateds are extremely difficult to acclimate and clean up. It's gotta make you wonder why you can get an imported adult for $100.



If you can acclimate them they have the same basic care as the Redfoot tortoise. They also have very similar personalities as the RF.



>>A fellow offered me an elongated for $100. I'm kind of curious how different they are from russians (the only species I keep)...

>>Any good sites out there?
