    Found an egg

    Ok, thank you. I buried just in the off chance it was viable. I didnt really think it was fertile but it seemed large for a Russian so I had to ask. I wish I would have measured it, it seems larger than a pecan. I may go dig it up. Thanks again and I will post a pic if I dig it up.

    Tortoise in danger and I need advice

    I have been watching it a local animal rehab said its possible its nesting. I'm going to try and get it moved this week. If they are as territorial as people say it is going to dangerous due to the area being developed on one half and the other is a farmers land.
