Unfortunately my situation has changed and I don't have the time to devote to my little guy like I would like. I would love to re-home him with someone who can provide for him better. His hatch date is 05/07/2016, so he's almost 3 yo, very active and healthy. He's never been a fan of his soaks...

My living and financial situation has changed since I got my baby Russian and I no longer have as much room and funds for him as I would have liked to. I don't have to relocate but if there is someone near me or willing to travel to me that could provide better for him, I would. I'm located near...

I'm building a new enclosure for my baby Russian that will last him until he's full grown. I came across the picture below which is what I'm basing my new enclosure on, I just have one question: how wide and tall should the door be? How tall and wide do Russians normally get?

Franklin has been acting very sluggish for a couple days and at first I didn't think anything of it. But it continued so I started to check things out, when I checked his bulb with the UVB card it didn't change colors like normal. I haven't had Franklin two months yet and the bulb was bought a...

I love watching him eat!

Franklin is two and half months old and just the other day I noticed when he bites down his jaw squeaks. I've read that this can be normal if there are no other signs of ill health. He doesn't appear to be in pain and still "runs" to eat, so I'm thinking maybe it's nothing but I also worry that...

Frankie came to investigate his food for the day and was not impressed

I have this weed all through the yard but I have no idea what it is or if it would be toxic. Does anyone else know?

I will be going on vacation in August for about 3.5 days and am taking Franklin with me so I'm just looking for any advice that may be helpful. I plan to take a large Rubbermaid with coco coir (that's what he has in his regular enclosure), a small spider plant, his lamp, and maybe something else...

Franklin apparently likes to lick things

I recently moved so I had to switch out the substrate in the enclosure. I had peat moss in it and just switched to coco coir since it's less messy but it isn't heating up to the right temperature, does anyone know why this would be??

My Russian baby has a fully built indoor enclosure that will last him until he gets bigger, but I've moved to a smaller house and his enclosure is large for the space so I won't be able to fit a bigger indoor enclosure. I want to build him something outdoors, my only concern is I live in...

We had our first vet appointment yesterday. He didn't have too much to say, but he did tell me George was illegal due to his size which I wasn't aware of since I've seen so many places selling hatchlings (he hatched May 7th). He also said that I should be sprinkling calcium powder everyday as...

George has his first vet visit tomorrow and I am just curious if there's anything I should know first. Should I be expecting any shots (I think he'd be too small right now but maybe in the future)? Do I need to bring anything besides George? Is there anything in particular I need to ask or look...

George loves to burrow under his spider plant that's near his basking spot and sleeps there every night. Is there any known risks if he were to nibble the roots of the plant?

Finally got around to getting a ruler to be able to track Georges growth! He hatched 5/7/16 and I received him 6/4/16, but unfortunately didn't measure him. I think he's coming along quite nicely, but if any more experienced members noticing something in his growth please let me know! :)

So I was just soaking George, I walked away and when I came back I found him as shown in the picture. It looked like a clump of grass/dirt and (after he walked back through it) broke apart and was stringy. His poos have been fairly regular and consistent in appearance and size, so this worries...

Is it normal for a hatchling to sleep/nap in his basking spot?

Does anyone know what this is? He wondered into our yard this morning

I am getting a Hermann's tortoise soon and had built an enclosure that I found has too many issues to really be useful (major issue is size). So I'm trying to start making plans for a new enclosure that will meet all the needs of my tortoise. I only have a 5.5'x4' space to work with in my house...
