Hey!
I don't know if I've mentioned Bert before.  He's my pet Russian Tortoise.  Yes, Russian tortoises are legal, and no he was not from the black market. I actually got him from some veterinarian friends who had taken him in after he had a tick stuck on his tail.  Long story short, they had him for a while until they got tired of him, and then he was passed on to me.  He's had some other health issues, but he is  a really sweet little guy and I thought you might enjoy a picture of him. Drumroll please...

He was sleeping in his "tub" in this photo.
