I made a thread and no one seemed to answer because it sort of went off topic right at the beginning. Now i know that their are a lot of bright tortoise keepers on here. What i am looking for is a good russian tortoise breeding sheet, or caresheet..same thing lol. Im planning on breeding these over the next year hopefully so i want to know everything i need to know before hand. Thanks so much!
Also if you know any good popular books i can easily find in like a library or something that we be helpful!

cheers!

All three of these sites have useful information for chelonians. I myself haven't bred torts but am sure that you can get an idea of what you need to do from these sites. Along with talking with a few people who are knowledgable about the subject. You can come upon you own conclusions about what will and won't work. Good luck with your project :)

Edit: look through the articles on the first and third sites, they both have information about breeding and incubation.
