Provide a minimum 4’ × 8’ enclosure for adults, with a deep substrate suitable for burrowing. Maintain a warm basking spot of 95–100°F, an ambient temperature of 75–85°F, and nighttime temperatures above 65°F. Humidity should remain between 30–50%, with a humid hide available to support healthy shell growth. Feed a diet consisting primarily of grasses, weeds, and leafy greens, while avoiding fruit and high-protein foods. Always provide fresh water and access to UVB lighting or natural sunlight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFacts:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFemales are typically larger and rounder than males, with a shorter tail and a flatter plastron.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRussian tortoises are excellent diggers and can create surprisingly deep burrows, making secure enclosures essential.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eWith proper care, they commonly live \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e50+ years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, making them a long-term companion.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLegal Notice:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Ownership laws for Russian tortoises vary by state and local jurisdiction.
