If you go to shelled warriors forum then to the housing section, theres a thread only for pictures which gave me tons of ideas http://www.shelledwarriors.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=4941

Yeah i did mean length:P. I could add 5 extra inches in L but im a bit sutck for space inside. Plus it wouldn't be the full time enclosure, just when at night or when they can't go outside

Would a 40"H x 29"W (101cm x 73cm) tortoise enclosure be large enough for two fully grown russians? thanks:)

Nice one, thanks guys. I was wondering cuase I've had my tort for about 2-3 years now and i've never doen it and they're looking a tad long!

Does any on clip their tort's nails?

Whats the UK equvivalent of a rubbermaid tub - seems to be a US thing on the web. Whats the UK/Europe brand. Sorry for the poor wording:D Thanks

I'm from the UK too, check these out - theyre pretty cheap and do the same job http://www.amazon.co.uk/Reptipet-Clamp-Lamps-Silver-150w/dp/B001U1NAK0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=garden&qid=1241804162&sr=8-3

Ah, thanks Yvonne. I have her under a UV light, however, she'll be outside everday now due to the new enclosure:)

Nice one, thanks Dan:D. Yeah 5 was my rough guess... thanks! Also...is there anything adnormal about her shell...I always thought it was kinda too big?

I've had my tortoise for a while now and have always assumed her to be a female russian. Is this true?:P I don't really have a clear idea on the age, any estimates? Thannnks:)

Thanks:)

I'd say use a mixture of the play sand and topsoil/loam

Conflicting advice on substrates - retailers tell may tell you that on thing is good when other places such as the tortoise trust say that it is dangerous etc. Also glass vivariums vs tortoise tables

If anyone is from the UK - www.shelledwarriorsshop.co.uk is a good place

I just bought a new dish today, one that she can fit in:). Yeah, i buried the plant pot a bit, but it needs to be deeper

That looks so good, i love the plants and the pool bit looks really cool, i need to get a big dish thing like that. Your torts seem so carnivorous:P

I decided to get a mega-ray for basking with also has UV and a cermatic heat emitter along with my old UV tube light (which i think is reptiglo 5.0) Dutton - look for mega ray, although i havent tried it yet and it v. expensive, you get a warranty:)

After doing some research I've decinded to go for a mixture of loam and play sand

I dig up the gorund and put chicken wire underneath then rolled the turf back over it[hr] The clay pot thingy is serving as a water dish at the moment till i can find something bigger[hr] This is the frame i put over it to stop him climbing out or predators getting in

When I bring mine in from outside I've caught her with grass in her mouth:P
