Description

Russian Tortoise female: Terralena- Lena for short
Age: probably around 13 yrs old
Distinct personality: observant and quick minded

I got Lena because at this point Darwin was lazy and bored without a companion. I bought her at a reptile show around the end of April 2012. She was one of four females the vendor was selling and two of them went really fast so I just picked Lena out of the last two. She was already pretty large (the females are a little bigger than males in this species), but since then she got bigger.

Since then Darwin seems to like her company but she is also a little bit pushy towards him. You can see her brain working and she will chase you if you have food :D Shes awkwardly built too because she has long legs and a little head..

Funny Story: (well this one is one someone would have to be there to appreciate..) When I first got Lena she was so determined to get a piece of lettuce I used to tie it to a spool of fishing line and drag it across the floor, and she would chase it. She was very fast and determined!

Another time she was outside and my grandparents were over. Lena was on the ground and I was watching her but my grandma was talking... I warned my grandma that Lena thought everything was food, even toes. She didn't listen... Lena latched on to my grandmas toe! My grandma never stopped watching Lena after that!
