Awesome pickup! I love russian tortises they have great personalities. I used to have one and I miss him he was so awesome.

Why is it only 4.5 inches? Mine is around 2 years old and almost full grown at 8 inches. Sweet tortoise though one of the best to have in my opinion.

Oh yeah your rite. I thought it was 8 for male and 10 for female that's why i was confused. I looked it up and its 6 and 8. Mine is a female.
