    Does my russian Walter look ok? I'm worried

    For the last two days Walter won't eat. I put him in his soak but I can't be sure that he's drinking. Does he look dehydrated or anything? All he does is sit in his basking spot. He also only a couple of times this week ( that I know of) has done this weird sound like an annoying yapping...

    I'm in petco and I want to scream!!

    I'm shopping with the kids at an open air shopping mall. To get warm I stepped in here. There is a guy looking into a tank with five Russians in it. He is wanting to get one and talking to the teenager working here about how should he take care of it. They are taking about it sharing a "tank"...

    Tis the season, canned pumpkin?

    So, the question I have, I hope I'm not alone here, can Walter eat canned pumpkin provided there isn't any salt etc added? If he can then how much, as in should it be only once treat sized? I don't want the poor guy to be totally left out, you know the reptile disease at the table is kind of...

    And the dead has arisen. Thanks a million Tom

    Walter has been disinterested in pretty much everything and just totally antisocial. Tom mentioned temps needing to be warmed. Well today I devised a set up with an extra light which has the habitat at about 85. Within five minutes it was like Walter just woke up! Really it was incredible what...

    Possible forum member well check for Walter?

    I understand that I am like a new mother and I am fretting over every little thing with Walter and his well being but for the millionth time I have a question.

    Calendar contest

    Hi, I'm not really sure where to post this question so I thought I would try here. I just saw the post on the calendar contest and thought what fun that would be. Then I reached the bottom and saw that you must have been a member since September 1st. I am wondering how firm you are on that...

    I think Walter my Russian might have a cold. Help!

    The last few days I noticed that Walter was rubbing his eyes with his "hands." When he has accidentally done a nose dive off his dish and so forth he would do this to get his face and I thought maybe that's what this might be. I have been working a lot this past week and so I thought he was...

    Could Walter my Russian Tortoise be depressed?

    I know this might sound silly but since the weather has become cooler I have had to keep indoors on some days. When he is in the yard he is like a machine toddling around eating and trying to find an escape. He is always active and perky. On the days when he is inside he just sort of sits on...
