Perfect size for indoor keeping

Russian tortoises top out at 15–20cm, which makes them the perfect size for indoor keeping without requiring a shed or a huge garden. My enclosure is a 120cm × 60cm wooden vivarium with a UV panel and thermostat — a manageable footprint. She grazes on fresh weeds from the garden daily and is in excellent health at 8 years old. The perfect tortoise for keepers without large outdoor space.
