I have a 4 year old male Russian tortoise that I rescued from Petco about 1 1/2 years ago. He is a really friendly little guy. He is completely healthy and active. Unfortunately I have to find him a new home because my parents won't help take care of him while I'm at college. I would love to...
I have a 3-4 year old male Russian tortoise. He is an amazing little guy with a great personality. He is not shy, but as a Russian tortoise he is an escape artist so he would need a home where he couldn't get out. He loves to dig so just a warning. I am asking a $100 rehoming fee just to ensure...
Today I stopped by petco and decided to change from Cyprus mulch to fir bark because the cyprus mulch was black in one bag and very wet in the other. Now I'm wondering if I should return the fir bark and patiently wait for better Cyprus mulch or if I'm ok to use the fir bark as a top covering of...
So as I'm sure most of u remember a couple months back my RT Shakespeare gave me quite the scare, until he got on meds for his lovely little friends the hook worms. He got better and I've been so grateful nothing else has seemed fishy since, until a few weeks ago when he practically stopped...
I am 80% sure I'm going to get another RT (a hatchling), and i will give him or her its own enclosure of course. But was wondering when are they ready to left alone outside for the day? My current is, by my estimation, 4-5 years old and WC. Because of that one fact I know he will NEVER have the...
Today was Shakespeare's first day outside in Minnesota. It was great, he so curious, I love it. I will upload pics when I get a chance but I thought I would share my excitement now that I'm off work (gotta love the afternoon shifts that last forever).
I have to do a demonstration speech tomorrow and would like to use Shakespeare. Any suggestions on what I could demonstrate? Btw he is a Russian tort if that helps any. :)
When at the store I picked up some seeds and decided hey why not some dahlias? Well now I thought about it and can't find anywhere where it says to or to not feed a RT dahlia. Is it safe to feed him? Any answers will be greatly appreciated. :)
Also on the package of seeds it says "dahlia" in...
Ok so here's the problem. I finnaly got Shakespeare to stop only eating when hand fed (yay score one me). But now he just stares at me when I'm making sure he will eat and if I leave the room and sneak back in I catch him eating. But if he sees me he zooms around his table until I leave. What...
Ok what bulb is better I cant decide.
The ZooMed Powersun Mercury Vapor Bulb or the Exo Terra Solar Glo - Mercury Vapor Bulb. Also has anybody tried the Exo Terra Solar Glo - Lamp fixture?
2 100 watt basking bulbs (zoo med) 1 brand new, 1 barely used. $20
1 deep dish rock feed bowl used for a week. $10
1 brand new 150 watt UV bulb. $20
If anybody has a mvb bulb that is 100 watts I will consider a trade. I will also consider trade for CHE's (75 watt).
If you would like more...
Self explanatory but I wanted to see if this is normal or what? Shakespeare is currently in quarantine and is under strict rules of no substrate until a couple of days after his last dose of medication. So I have the green floor bed thing, it's like carpet, and he peed on it so I left the room...
I really need a couple CHE's but wanted to see if anybody here had some for sale? It's not the expense problem I just figured hey somebody may need a few extra bucks. Anyways I'm looking for both CHE's and the wire cage things they recommend using with them. Please let me know if you or somebody...
I'm looking for a male russian. I will take great care of him. I would prefer him to be 4-6 inches but whatever somebody has I will most likely inquire about. Please post a reply and or pm me. Thank you.
Looking for a 4-6 yr old male Russian tortoise. I will take good care of the little guy and he will have everything he needs, UVB/A, basking bulb, hides, appropriate substrate, temps, humidity, food, etc.
