WELCOME TO PET TALK! I would love to see some pictures of yur russian tortoise and box turtle! I am owned by 2 dogs, a 1 year old female, golden retriever named Daisy, and a 2 year old, female, rough, sable ad white, collie named Molly. I also have 2 cats, Angel is a longhaired tabby mix, and Dillan is a shorthaired, tabby mix. I also have 6 desert tortoises! One named Frankie, and 5 babies (no names yet!)

Im not really a turtle expert ( my mom REALLY is!) but i think it would be okay to keep him in there for 1 night, just until you get the light for the tank. Also, is your turtle "aggresive" toward other animals? If it is i wouldnt sugggest boarding them together! But, they will have to get used each other, so my advice i see how they do when they first meet, and if they seem to get along, try leaving them together.

Hope that helped some
