Ah Ok... I was just curious. I do not feel like I have enough room for more than one. But I know some zoos and other wildlife places have them in a group. It was more of an "If there is an established all around the same age group could they co exist peacefully" question.

I only have one Tortoise... don't plan on getting another. But I wonder if they can be kept in a larger outdoor enclosure and be kept in a group?

I have gotten so much conflicted information it makes my head spin lol.

Welcome! That is sweet that you got them to honor their father's request. New pets can be stressful (you don't want anything to happen to them or do anything wrong... they are like children without human thumbs lol)... I am in the same boat you are. lol.

If you are looking for a breeder- I just got my son's leo baby at TortoiseYard. Vicky is amazing and answered all my questions and was very helpful. Max arrived safe and healthy. She ate right after I soaked her and after a week she is starting to get use to me being around her. She seems...

Oh ok, thank you for the info. We just got a baby leo... We decided on that one because I read that they do not burrow and escape. I can see how torts can have different qualities like dogs do (with different breeds). I think that any tort... any size should be outside (once size appropriate of...

That is a great idea!

Oh ok. Do Russians move around a lot and that's why? Now I am just curious.

So you can use glass enclosures for tortoises? I have a glass enclosure but because of a lot of people telling me its bad for them to see out I placed a "Boarder" around the edge so she cannot see out. Tom you should do a myth and fact post lol.

I do not have the whole thing covered but I Spray it down twice a day. (Not just the moss). I had a humidity gage but Yesterday it was reading at 0... and I knew it wasn't 0. I even tested by putting it in the bathroom while I showered. Still 0... so I ordered a new one. Part of my enclosure is...

Thank you. I will lower her lights (they are on stands) I just went to Home depot on my lunch and got a wire shelf to set across the top. Call me paranoid but I do not want the stands to fail somehow and knock the lights on her! I think with this new shelf I can lower the lights down a couple...

That is really nice!

We received our leopard tortoise yesterday from TortoiseYard... (Vicky is amazing!). I soaked her immediately and then placed her in her habitat with some food. She ate yesterday and then laid in the dirt to the side of her basking lamp spot (I have a upside down terracotta bottom right under...

Hi, we are looking to get our son a baby leopard tortoise for his birthday... I will most likely be ordering it after the 10th (His birthday is the 14th)... anywho we have been looking into breeders and I was wondering if you could tell me a little about how you ship your torts and how you raise...

Where I live it is only slightly chilly Nov-Dec... (although right now we are in a weird cold spell) and cold only in Jan- Feb.... it gets up to 115 here in the summer.... so this spring I will be building a whole section in my backyard just for it (with a caged top) so after May it will...
