I don't think so. She only does it one or two times a day, I understand that it is normal now. But now I'm curious as to why my Female did it the FIRST day I got her, but Bosley, NEVER does it. I do not remember seeing him yawn. And I agree it is adorable :)
Maybe, but Natalie doesn't do it when she wakes up. She does it randomly. And she is the ONLY one out of the tortoises who do it. Thanks for the information though. It could help! :)
My conflicting problem is whether or not young tortoises need A LOT of hydration or not.
A. (This information was what I got from Tom, who clearly knows what he is doing) "Young tortoises, NEED hydration, it helps with shell growth, and when the female digs it's nest in the wild. The nest is...
I have two adult/young adult Russian Tortoises, a male, and a female. I have noticed over the past months that my female will at least once or twice a day 'yawn' now, when I say this. I am not implying she is actually 'yawning' but, some days, she will just be standing there. And she opens her...
One more thing, yes I agree, my expectation of exact pictures is for anybody I would buy from here. On TFO. Sorry I didn't explain myself well enough, I hope this cleared everything up. :)
When you say 'intelligent' you need to be more specific. Tortoises, are brilliant. Or what you could call 'brilliant.' now, from what I know there are two different types of being brilliant when it comes to animals. (There may be more, if you think there is another type, I would love to join...
Thanks, I'm not worried about getting a 'perfect' specimen. That's not my goal. The thing I'm worried about, (And I have seen this many times, not as much in reptile breeds though) is when they say: 'Grade B turtles have minor shell imperfections, damaged eyes, missing claws..etc..' That's not...
Of course I researched and I am prepared to take on the responsibility of owning a turtle, (not all the way prepared, still getting there.) I merely said 'too go with my two Russians' because I wanted to point out that I'm not new to this forum, and buying this turtle would have not been my...
Hello Anthony. So yesterday I asked the question of where to get a high quality turtle. In august I'm gonna try to get a Male Razorback Musk turtle hatchling. Somebody told me you know a lot about turtles. So if you could check it out and give me an answer I would be very happy. Thanks.

I looked at it, it doesn't sell turtles itself, but it does seem like a good website. Thank you, I may use this for supplies, as for actually buying the turtle, I don't know where to go.
I'm thinking about getting a Male Musk Turtle Hatchling. To go with my two Russians. I have thought it all through, and I would get them after I came back from Europe. (In august) I was looking for a place to buy them. I started with pet stores, and I didn't see any pet stores around where I...
