: nope...
: he's not halfway through his life most likely...
: just because a female res gets 12" doesnt mean it'll only live 6 more years if its 6 inches.
: russian tories grow up to 8" iin probly the first 4-6 years of there lives,and i think they llive about 30 years or so.
: dont hibernate it this year,and the temp should be more than 65.
: they need to be soaked 2-3 times a week(in water below there head,to make sure they dont accidently drown,a kitty litter box,unused would be good,about 2-3" deep).
: they dont drink much cause they rehydrate themselves through there cloaca mostly.
: what do you have it in?

: -cassie

cassie - we have it in a shallow (5-6" deep) rubbermaid tub with wood chips and some alfalfa for him to burrow in. we thank all of you for your advice - we really appreciate it.
