    Lol. I don't think so. I'd be happy if I could train mine to pee and poop in water. He isn't housebroken:(

    Thank you for excepting us into your group.

    Lost Tortoise

    How does someone who isn't good with building start a process like this. I would have to do it by myself and have no clue how to get started with materials/supplies. Any advice is appreciated?

    Can you post a pic of Ralph's tail? I'd like to compare it to my russian. Sometimes it's obvious early on.
