I have two adult/young adult Russian Tortoises, a male, and a female. I have noticed over the past months that my female will at least once or twice a day 'yawn' now, when I say this. I am not implying she is actually 'yawning' but, some days, she will just be standing there. And she opens her...

I'm thinking about getting a Male Musk Turtle Hatchling. To go with my two Russians. I have thought it all through, and I would get them after I came back from Europe. (In august) I was looking for a place to buy them. I started with pet stores, and I didn't see any pet stores around where I...

About a month ago, I got a female Russian Tort named Natalie. I got her for breeding purposes, but when I got her she was REALLY tame, she would hang her head out and let you pet it when you picked her up. She is 7 in long, and I believe she is captive bred, they said at the store where I got...
