    Russian not eating; summer estivation?

    Hi, thank you! I've still been bringing her outdoors but only later in the afternoon when it's not quite as hot but still lots of light. But before that she had been going outside most of the day, until it started to get really hot, surface temps around her outdoors enclosure were ranging from...

    I don't know what it is about feet and toes... But I definitely know what you mean ? my girl is tame and bonded to me, and she likes to chew on my toes... ? Not only that but am I extremely ticklish, lol. Just the other day I got a video of her landing on my feet while I was layed out across my...

    Russian not eating; summer estivation?

    My Russian girl has been staying under her hide much of the day and has not been eating. I do see her out of her hide occasionally and basking, but mostly I just find her hiding. It has been pretty hot here recently, with heat indexes of 100F or higher occasionally. Her basking spots outdoors...

    Outdoor enclosures and "flooring"/escape prevention

    Oh, I forgot to ask about something mentioned in that thread: one person suggested lining the inner perimeter of the box with pavers to try and dissuade torts from tunneling under the sides. Do you think that would be enough of a prevention measure for me to be able to leave her out there for...

    Wow!! Thats a gorgeous aviary! Ebay can sure pop up with some cool stuff! Just have to sift through the sleezy ones that have pictures that make the product look bigger than it really is ? I always make a point to read the dimensions if I'm ever looking for a travel cage or playstand; etc... I'm...

    Outdoor enclosures and "flooring"/escape prevention

    I see, thank you! I think for the time being, I'm going to set up a perimeter for her, like you mentioned. I'll sit outside with her as well to keep an eye on things.

    Will do! So, I'm a bit oblivious when it comes to the way things are worded sometimes (I'm autistic, my social skills aren't entirely well polished ?), I often take things more literally unless I already know different... so, is the Cold Dark Room thread just an on-going thread for just...

    Outdoor enclosures and "flooring"/escape prevention

    I have been reading about the construction of outdoor enclosures from various people and websites so I can get more inspiration for mine :) but in the process, I've gotten a bit confused about something: Many people note how much tortoises enjoy burrowing and digging, and in their builds they...

    I guess I got a little ahead of myself...

    I had to make the decision to rehome either the box turtles or the russian tortoise that I took in. I'm still a little disappointed in myself, because that was the last thing I wanted to do. I really wanted to make this their permanent home, I got a little attached lol... But there has been a...

    "Maybe I'll just wait here for a bit..."

    Ohh okay, that's good to know! Yeah I thought she looked so funny but adorable the way she hangs her front legs over the side ? I'm curious if she's still soaking... I left the room a little while ago to start some supper...

    "Maybe I'll just wait here for a bit..."

    We just came in from sunbathing just a bit ago, mainly because its pretty dang hot today and I don't have a fully-equipped outdoor enclosure yet (only the basics until I get paid again). I was worried she may start overheating even in the shade... my temperature gun was reading upwards of...

    Mr. Green the Lemon-Lime King

    I think I've (finally) decided on a name for one of my 3 male budgies... only one, though ? My girls are Astrid and Charlie. I often call my little green boy Mr. Man or Mr. Green just to have something to call him when I'm talking to them. It's kind of stuck now! So yesterday I had the...
