4.5 inches long, 3.5 inches wide. He maxes out my scale that only goes to 450 grams. His previous owner only had him 4 months, they didn't know his hatch date.

Here’s my boy 😍 any guesses on his age?

Thank you SO much for the heads up on that ad. The whole family is very taken with him, my FIL already has plans to put him on our Christmas card this year 😂 His enclosure is a work in progress but he has everything he needs. I'm absolutely in love with the little beast.

Picked up that baby tonight! He's in fantastic condition and was very loved by his previous owners, but they had to give him up due to an illness in the family. She said she got him from a breeder in Orange County, about 4 months ago. You guys will have to help me determine his age. I will...

My FIL is on the case! We are going to be leveling off the cement pad under the fountain, removing the two large pots, and then building a secure 8x3 enclosure on top of the pad, with hinged mesh lids. The walls will be 18 inches high, with a solid planter base of 10 inches so I can grow live...

My yard is not big enough to accommodate an enclosure for one of those big boys.

Thanks everyone for your replies! I am now leaning more towards finding an adult Russian tort in need of a home. I've read all the care sheets that were linked above (several times, actually) and it was also my belief that trying to set up an effective closed chamber on the porch was going to...

Hey gang, I'm Amy. First time poster, long time lurker. I am hoping to bring home a wee beastie next month but I am having the hardest time figuring out which species will thrive best in my situation. I will bullet-point it for you rather than writing a whole novel, and hopefully we can narrow...
