Our Russian tortoise needs a new home. Please contact me if you live near west palm beach florida and can provide a nice living new home for our Turdy.

Wow! If a Russian tortoise from a chain corporate pet store is 4 inches it’s 5-10 years old?!

Is Pellitory safe for Russian tortoise?

My Turdy loves those!

Hmmm? Do I have to worry about wild animals getting in the top of that? I think I need something to keep the top screened. I’ll do some research thank you!!

This is so helpful Tom! And thank you to whoever asked! I think I finally have my lights right now!! And my Russian is acting normal again after he was scared from a neighbor’s dog barking the other day when I took him outside!

He’s a Russian tortoise. I don’t know how old he is. He’s an indoor tortoise. I dont need help with the lights bc I received a lot is answers about that on another post. I guess what I’m wondering is can a Russian tortoise get so scared from a dog barking near by that he acts strange for days...

I read the care sheet, but when I google the light bulb it says to use for basking area I can’t tell why it’s different from the bulb I have that gives off heat. The one I have is called a 100 watt essential basking spot bulb. Can you help me understand the difference and give me a picture of...

Oh no! No spot bulb! Ah! I thought I finally had the lighting right????

Ok I bought this light!! I still need to add a basking lamp correct? A spot light that provides heat only right?

We have so many critters here I’m worried he wouldn’t be safe. And then ticks and bugs concern me too?

No it’s not a hatchling. I’m worried he will gets bugs, ticks or something if I keep him outside. Will he get bugs?

Hello I posted a pic with the question. If you click on it I think it turns more clear. For some reason all the pics are blurry for me till I open them by clicking on it.

Ah! Thank you for letting me know!!

I have a Russian tortoise. The store doesn’t have a uvb only bulb that is not spiral.

If I get a mercury vapor bulb do I still need another bulb for added heat?

Thank you for the info you guys!!
