Thank you, thank you, thank you a million times! So helpful from what I've read all ready...I will defiantly check out the article! We are one step closer, the interview went well so it's just all about the background check that could take a long time to get back so it's all depending on that...

Thank you for the advice. I can refer back to this thread when the time comes, this is great!

Yea. I was worried about that too, him flipping over or getting stuck. Thank you for the advice. I think the Rubbermaid bin even in travel is best.

Thank you, I appreciate that. How in the world did you keep a bucket of gold fish alive? I defiantly want to keep my tortoise safe. Do you have any suggestions on what to put him in besides a dog kennel? I worry he may get stuck In the door since it does have holes in it..

Yea, I hope it will not be winter time for many reasons but good to know about microwavable heat disks. I will do some research on that to see where to find those, thanks, His current night temp is 60 give or take a little. SC weather is weird and humidity is high and low..it just varies. So...

There is a very high chance that we may be moving across country (SC to AZ)! We live in Charleston, SC and I believe the place we may be relocating to is Phoenix, AZ (depending where he's needed) that's 2,153 mile trip or 31 hours so that's a three day trip! I have a Russian Tortoise, adult...

We welcomed home our first Russian Tortoise today! Technically our first tortoise ever, and so far he is doing great! His name is Ernest.

I've also read in doing a ton of research before receiving my Russian Tortoise (today actually) that it seems most people keep it between 50-60% mine is at 55% right now. I keep checking it being the nervous first time mom lol.

Thanks everyone!

True, that makes sence :)

I just don't want to use hand sanitizer or soap that could potentially be harmful..

Hi, thanks for the response. What kind of soap do you use?

what type of hand sanitizer should I use before and after handling my future tortoise? Thanks in advance :tort:

Getting a Russian Tortoise soon! Mommy tort to be :)
