LOL that 7th day comment made me laugh! This thread was helpful to me. I think I have been feeding my Russian too much lettuce mix. Its just so easy. I fed him 2 green beans tonight and he gobbled them, is that okay? There are so many weeds here but they are tough to identify.

I bet your Russian loves it. I love the background too. Nice job!

I have a Russian and I traded in my large aquarium for a table. The table os more spacious and has better air flow. He is much happier now.

Kevin that whole box on the left is filled with coconut coir.

He is such a cutie!

Looks great!

I found my Russian sleeping like that the other day. I thought she was dead! My heart sunk. I called her name and she didn't wake so I poked at her with a flower and she popped into her shell. Whew! She normally sleeps in her log hide.

Okay thanks everyone. I so have reptile carpet, but the wood floor is so easy to clean. The light is anchored on the plant. It is very heavy, but I will see if I can build a hanger. I did it in an effort to make the light vertical, not horizontal.

left and right, that is brazilian driftwood on the right.

After reading in here for months I have made a ton of changes to my Russian enclosure. The dimension is 5 x 10'. On the left was my original enclosure, which now the cool end is filled with coconut coir and a hide. It has a door and a little water dish and a wide terra cotta "wading pool". The...

I actually got a tort because I had an aquarium and wanted something other than fish. I soon after joined the forum and learned she needed a 4x8' space minimum. She is on her third enclosure and third set of lighting, but I think I finally nailed it.

Looks like a nice addition!

Very cute! Congrats!

Is your toryoise named Terra by chance? I just noticed your username is similar to mine. I only put her out in her outdoor enclosure during the day in the summers when temps are btw 70-95, so she lives mostly indoors.

Okay, I am trying to get this right. I think I finally have the correct lighting for my torts indoor enclosure after 3 trys. I got a UVA/ UVB mercury vapor light on a timer to be on 12 hrs a day. Then I have a ceramic heat bulb to be on 24 hrs a day. She spends most the day under the bulb and...

Those picture are really depressing. :-(

Great story and picture too. Welcome to the forum!

Hariett. I still dont know what my Russian is. I have seen the little drawings, but its not obvious.

I live about 2 hours from Seattle and plan on keeping my Russian indoors in the winter. It sounds like you have done research and ate off to a great start. There are a lot of weeds and greens around here that are good like dandilions.
