Thats good news! so they are a welcome guest, and can control the slugs! Yes i have just read they are protected here in the UK, I just hope that the cats don't spot it....

I was taken by suprise today when picking some weeds for my two russians... (they have munched the flower heads from the bottom of the plant and are unable to reach the flowers on top, bless 'em!).. to find a slow worm hiding in the soil, it slide off very quickly so i was unable to take a...

Thanks for your help. I want to try hibernating next year..or maybe the follow year!!!

Ok thanks, watch and wait then?!! they are inside at the moment. but spend most of the summer outside. They are eatting and growing, but i have noticed they are eatting less. I put this down to the season? i how hope this is not stress?

I have posted before asking for help about the gender of my two russians..?I have since been flashed by both of them, confirming they are male!! They are captive breed and approximately 4 and 3 yrs old. The older one Pebbles shows BamBam who's boss fairly often, and I separate them when this...

I have uploaded pictures before..but I am still unsure of Pebbles sex, some times the tail is tucked under, sometimes its straight out. 'she' is bigger than her friend BamBam, but aprox. a year older (3 yrs old ish)...BamBam is definately a boy..I was shocked when I first saw his bits:D!!! ha...

Thanks for all your information, it's been really helpful. the temperatures are dropping here in South England, but I think I can leave them outside a bit longer in the day. I have never left them out at night...we can get rain at any time, and I feel our winters are to wet to even think of...

Brilliant thanks, just converted online 50F is about 10C which is alot cooler than I thought, so i don't need to be so cautious for another month at least! Also just looked up our average humidity, this is about 80%..this means nothing to me?!! it's not something we really worry about here in...

My Russian Tortoise have an inside enclosure, with a heat lamp and UV light. During the summer months they have spend most of their time outside (when it's not been raining) and to be honsest I prefer that for them as they seem more at home digging, grazing, basking and hiding from me!!! But...

Thanks...I put a picture on the other post of Pebble..looks like she is definately male..so my next question? am I kidding myself they can live together happily? or should I separate them/think about re-homing one? Thanks again

This is pebbles and BamBam..Pebbles is the bigger one and about 3, we were told that she was a girl..but I think boy, epecially the behaviour s/he displays. BamBam is about 2.

That is so sad? shouldn't this be reported to animal welfare?

Wow bet she's happy with that!!

Yeah thats what i am thinking...It would be a shame to separate them...but might be for the best? I will get another picture up to see if anyone agrees that 'Pebbles' is a boy (called Pebbles because he was originally a she!!!)

Thanks for that! my other one we were told was female..then male, so looks like I definately have two boys! uh oh!
