Help! What kind of Tortoise

Posted by turtle boy on May 21, 2002 at 13:30:04:

I was the pet store today and there was a tortoise in a 50 gal aquarium with 1/2 water and 1/2 flagstone. I asked the owner what kind it was and he said it was a spur thigh. I have 2 sulcata tortoises and I thought they are spur thighs. The one that was at the store did not look like mine. Its shell was not as curved as the sulcata. Im not sure but I think it might be a Russian. And should these be kept semi aquatic? Thanks for the help. I might go get it....
