Need to sell Yoshi and will include all supplies and indoor house. Please Contact me Cheryl at 253 267 0398. Last weighed was 983 grams. Can send pictures upon request.

I have a Russian Tortoise and we need to sell her because we just moved and we are not tortoise people I guess. I'm asking $200 for everything. We're in Washington State. Sprru I cannot ship. We've had her for 2 or 3 years and purchased her from a Pet Smart. She is healthy, no worms, but I...

This is a great thread, lots of funny stories. Guess we all have had a similar experience with losing our little creatures. Thanks for the laughs!

Hi Tom, Yes, it is an Arcadia. It's the tube that you had recommended for me to get awhile back. Thank you again. I will definitely get a light that just admits light for Yoshi, I've been leaving the tube light on for 12 hours per day. Didn't know I was doing it wrong. Also, I had taken her...

Hi, I have a long LED UVB light in my RT pen, which I've seem to have had a long time. How often are you to change it? My Digital reading in 6.0, and my RT is in her pen most of the time buried. I have extras to replace this one with if necessary, but of course there is still light. Thank...

Oh, I forgot to answer. We have a lease for her, so she isn't walking loose in the backyard lol

Oh, I didn't know about the timothy hay, I change it frequently, she likes to hide underneath it, but will certainly take it out. The peeling is really my concern, it doesn't make sense why she would be peeling. Thank you for your insight. Cheryl

Hi everyone, it's been awhile since I've posted, but been trying to keep up on things. My RT Yoshi is now 946.2g, she's gained almost 100g in about a year. One of my questions, is that too fast of a growth? Also, she has a heat lamp for basking, a light for UVB etc, and a heat admitter...

Just love the photo's, lil clunker has a lot of personality. :-)

That's great news! I've tried everything I can think of with Yoshi. I'm still confused on her problem, she's eating a tiny bit every few days. I weighed her yesterday and she weighed in at 862. The week before she was 873 and the week before that she was 864. She has a doctor's appointment...

My precious puppies, Cara is 8 and Tonka is 12. Old and spoiled rotten.

Yes, I’ll definitely monitor her weight every week and keep taking her outside if it warms up I received the new uvb light Tom suggested so will be putting it up today.

For her to have gained weight I would think so. I probably should put more of a variety of enclosure plants in her pen instead of mostly succulents, huh? I agree, she seems pretty healthy just being a snot, so tough love it is...battle of wills...I doubt she will starve herself to death if...

Well today was Yoshi's weigh day and she weighed in at 873g and measures 6.5" That's up from last week of 865g and I never measured her before so don't know how much she's grown since I've had her. She's still not really eating and for a test I mixed up a small square of butternut squash with...

HAHAHA You have great sense of humor. The trip is getting into Yoshi's front hole lol
