Sometimes they can sometimes they cant, Depends. But if your Russian flips over on his shell I would flip him over as soon as possible, as letting him stay on his back is dangerous because he could bake under the heat lamp or sun on a hot day. Not to mention it does them no good to have them upside down at all.

BTW I said he but dont know if its a he or a she.
