Zone 3 is ideal for Russian tortoises.

I had a male and several females that were producing beautiful babies. I sold all my babies to Tortoise Supply and my very active male. Tyler from Tortoise Supply is very knowledgeable and cares for his tortoises well ( which is hard to find). I believe he still has most of the babies.

Very interesting. Last year he seemed "pleased" with both females, but this year he is more particular. Thanks for the response.

Has anyone else experienced an adult male attracted to a certain female and forgetting the other? My adult male is constantly pursuing one female and ignores the other.

Great news! Your babies are gorgeous.

Your torts are definitely marginated. My marginated hatchlings are kept inside in a Rubbermaid plastic container with coco coir and cypress mulch as substrate. One end is kept at 95 degrees and the cool end around 70. I soak them daily and keep the substrate damp beneath the surface. You will...

I live in San Antonio and my marginated tortoises do very well here.

I would love a medium sized box of mulberry leaves and plantain seeds. Zip 78258. Let me know how I can pay you through PayPal. Thanks!

Beautiful tortoise . My marginateds love the humidity and sun also that south Texas provides. Keep the updates coming!

I have 2 females and 1 male adult almost 20 yrs old and 8 hatchlings. 6 are 3 months old and 2 are just over a month old.

How long do hatchlings need to stay in an enclosed chamber?

Is it okay to soak hatchlings in warm tap water or should the water be distilled or RO?

LOL! Yes, one lucky guy. I just happened to catch Margie :) laying eggs in April. It has been fun raising them.

Make sure and soak daily and keep their enclosure humid.

Good evening all. I have been reading advice from this forum for quite awhile as a “lurker”. Great advice located here. I became a proud owner of 8 marginated hatchlings this summer after 2 of my adult females unexpectedly laid eggs. The hatchlings are soaked daily, eat a variety of greens...
