I guess he is willing to consider selling some of them if he is sure they will go to a good home. (We don't want them to go to someone who will just put them in a 10 gallon tank and then never take care of them)
We will try to seperate the males and females for now.
How old do they...
We have a different male now than we used to have. Around half of the new ones came from the first male and half came from the current male (I think), they all have the same mom. How old do turtles get before they will start to try to breed? They are all getting along so far except the adult...
The biggest one (which is the one that has laid all the eggs) is about 7" long and the male is around 5" long and the babies are getting to be around 4" and under. Why can't they all live together as adults? How many would you say could live together? Thanks!
Hello, we have Russian Tortoises. We started out with two and now we have 14 with more on the way! My husband likes to keep them all so they are quickly outgrowing their enclosure. I would like some suggestions as to an easy enclosure to make and what size do you think they would need? Also...
I think the bugs are kind of short and round, but not too slow moving. How much humidity do the babies need to have? How old are your hatchlings when you move them to the 50/50 substrate mix? Thanks
it's some of that coconut fiber stuff you get at the pet store and add water to and then it expands. There are a couple bugs crawling on the babies too. I've changed the substrate completely and washed all the stuff that was in there and let the babies sit in a little water for a few minutes...
Hi, four of our russian babies have hatched now and they are doing really good. We have put three of them into there new enclosure so far. The forth one is still absorbing the yolk sac so it is still in the incubator. But last night I noticed there are a bunch of tiny white looking bugs in...
I am trying to post some with photobucket, hope it works! Here's some pictures we took at first. We will try to take some better ones tomorrow. Thanks for the advice and stuff! Deanna

should I put the eggshells in the container with them? we had the eggs incubating in a small container with substrate in it. The first one that hatched is moving all around the container - it's very active! so we had to take the other eggs out that didn't hatch yet and put them in a seperate...
we could keep them in a plastic bin or something if that would be better but I need to know about the substrate, when to take them out of the incubator, etc. I'm having trouble finding the info I need on old posts so any advice would be great.
Thanks!
Hi, some of our turtle eggs are hatching already! One is almost all the way out and another one has a hole in it. They are so cute! Need advice on what to do now. How long do we leave them in the incubator and what kind of set up should we keep them in? We have a 20 gal size tank already to...
Thanks for the picture links. Those are great! Ours are looking similar to some of those pictures. Any advice on what we should do? We have them in an incubator. There are nine eggs. The first of them came around two months ago and the last of them came about three weeks ago. The last ones...
Hello, our Russian tortoise laid eggs starting a couple months ago approx and I am trying to figure out if they are going to hatch. A couple weeks ago we were shining a light on the eggs and saw some blood vessels on the first ones and now looking at them again I don't see blood vessels but a...
