I have 4 redfoot tortoises I am hoping to sell, they were mostly rescued from Craigslist last year in pretty bad conditions, I helped them out for the past year and they even spent the majority of the summer living outside. They are eating and drinking correctly and are active and alert...

They claim female, but I have no pictures from them (I didn't try to get one), I still cannot afford another mouth to feed so hopefully someone else here can.
So I know this is a tort forum but many of you have cats and may be able to share some advice on my situation.
This started about a month ago, out of no where my room mate's cat (Nathan Explosion) pissed all over my bed, while I was sitting at my desk near him, he made no noises or anything...

I feel so bad for this "russian" tort, Im pretty sure it is a boxie or something, doesn't seem russian to me.... the poor things nails are so long...

I am not sure what it is, looks similar to an ornate wood turtle I had when younger, but more domed so not really sure.
My room mates have an Exo-Terra terrarium they aren't using and said I could have (more like I told them I was taking it and they didn't argue, just shrugged and went back to their own business hahaha) and I was wondering what I could put in it? It is 12x12 and 18in tall, so it isn't very big...

Its not within my budget to get another tort for a while, so here is a link in case someone else here can.
So today it was raining pretty bad all day and we had flash flood warnings for nearby areas but not my house. Either way I was thinking to myself should I bring my torts in tonight, it's gunna be cool and they probably didn't get much basking time today, I don't have much to put them in as I...

This guy has been posting this tort for about a month now, this time the price has gone down a bit. If you search "tortoise" on the craigslist there you will see some of his ads have pics of her.
I was cleaning some boxes the other day and came across an old container of Repti Calicium powder with d3 is it still good? It is 2-3 years old, and was opened and used before I "lost" it (I say lost in quotes because had I actually looked I probably would have found it, it was not packed away...
I have been having a hell of a time getting the temps in my closed chamber to stabilize, and I think I found the solution. I have the basking spot on a timer and set it to come on periodically throughout the day. It comes on at 9:30 same as the uvb tube, but then I have it stay on for 30 min...
I got home from work today and went outside to check on my outdoor Russians, everything was normal except my male. He was trying to wipe something off the Side of his face, an looked like it was shiny around his nose, I picked him up for a closer inspection which revealed it was spider webs...
My little boy has allergies, not sure to what, but he chews his heels and scratches the cheap out of behind his ears. It's not constantly, but when it's bugging him it's relentless. This last time he tore up behind his ear pretty bad and its all scabbed up.
So two questions, first what...
My 3 redfoot torts each have something they seek out and try to eat when I bring them outside. Filia goes for rocks, Amelia bites trees like see trying to eat the bark, and Lina goes for twigs and sticks. They do this even with a giant pile of food for each of them. How do I get them to stop...
I got 2 new Russians today! I found them on Craigslist, the person offering them got them from a friend that was moving, and she had ornates already so she decided to find someone that had Russians to take these guys in, long story short I have 2 new male Russians!
At least I'm pretty sure...
