That color line is amazing! I agree with @cdmay no matter what that will be a great looking adult.

Is this ok? Little color down the center.

Wow, that is some great color.

Hello Tortoise Forum Family, I have just brought home my newest family addition, a Cherry Head hatchling. He/she is about 2 months old and was hatched from the ground in Florida, so the sex is really unknown. Name is still in the works, but for now my kids call him "Red". I will share with...

Thanks, the plan is in the basement for the weather months. It insulated so it doesn't get cold down there around 65 ~ 68 F degrees. plus there is a lot more space down there. Nice work and thanks for the ideas.

I am thinking this is a nice plan and I am working to build something just like it from my Russian. I do have 3 more questions: 1. What tortoise lives there? 2. How is the humidity level and how do you control moisture from leaking out? 3. Do you think it is strong enough to have another one...

Wow!!! there is so much color there! Great job Rambutan, Happy mothers day to you!! :tort:

What are the measurements? Also, what are you using for UVB? If coil type, you will hear from many people to remove ASAP and get a MVB or long Tube type.

I have been looking into getting another tortoise from a breeder and have found that most if not all incubate for females. I have learned here that sex is not guaranteed, just a higher chance and different incubation temp. Is there a reason, or do people just prefer female tortoise over male?

Ok understood, I will not include a pond / bathing area in there indoor enclosure. Regarding the size, once I have set up I will test the temp. If NG than per my current plans it should be easy to close off half of it till fixed. One question I forgot to ask was how deep the substrate. I...

I am in the process of receiving 2 cheery head's, yes I know they should not be in pairs, that is why I have plans to add more within a year. Until I receive them I am working on a closed chamber enclosure which I hope will last from hatchling to juvenile age. From there I will have a much...

How long till they become available?

Wow, beautiful! Do all cherry head marble or just some?

How soon can you tell if or when a cherry head will have marbling?

So a quick recap. 1. I heard that 2 Russian tortoises are not a good idea, correct? CORRECT 2. Is one cherry head OK, or can i have multiple? (2, 3, etc.)? 1 OR 3, NOT 2 3. There really isn't much information for cherry head tortoises, but what are the expected adult sizes? 3. What is a good...

Perfect, I understand clearly!

Sorry, just getting back to the "Tortoise Forum" site, but what does 1.3 Russians mean? I see people post 1.?? or .1, but don't understand what that means.

Can I house multiple Russians in an outdoor enclosure roughly 8x8 ft? Indoor I know that is a define, NO. Just not sure with the larger outdoors.

It look great! This give me some more ideas for my outdoor enclosure. How strong is the top of the enclosure, chick wire part?

Thank you, understood! Regarding your 4x8 ft indoor setup, is this closed chamber?
