Borris the Russian Tortoise

Borris

Russian Tortoise

Borris was donated in 1997 because he needed more care than his owner could provide at the time and they wanted him to go to a good home. Tortoises, like most reptiles, are particularly longed lived and Russian tortoises in particular can live well beyond 50 years. This often makes tortoises a tough pet to keep.
