"Russians"...they tend to favor outdoor environments, and you may find glass enclosures (maybe just a photo situation?) pretty limiting. Be sure to provide thermal gradient, a warm, medium and cool choice of hides. Lots of good info. on the internet about care. Very popular tortoise, sadly, many folks treat them as disposable and they are flooding rehabs now...Great animals, fun and spunky with a zest for living if healthy. Good luck, Vic H.
