The Zombie Apocalypse is cool.
We'd love to have you come visit Louisiana! Our current temperature is 74*F/23*C. Our high temp today will be 86F/30C, and the low tonight will be 63F/17C.Good morning John. Good morning CDR.
We got a bit of a lie in this morning because JoesDad is working from home.
We also have our first frost of the winter. It's chilly out today. Wrap up warm everyone (unless you live somewhere warmer)
Elsa will still sleep outside for a bit longer, but I bring her in when the overnight low will be 50F/10C. (I'm using both temperature scales mainly to help myself get used to it, since so many of our members are overseas and use Centigrade. )

Hi and welcome,
Not bad but a little bit dry and straw isn't great to use as it can have sharp ends that hurt eyes. I wouldn't use it in case it's a fire hazard under the heat lamps. Just needs a little bit of tweaking but that's what we've all had to do as we've learnt more about care. (Don't use sand either as that can cause problems too)
Hello, Timmy, and welcome to The Cold Dark Room to you and your Russian.
Grab an armadillo to sit on and the One-legged Pirate will get you a drink.
Coffee? Tea ? We have Mountain Dew ?
Watch out for the stinging jellyfish that fly around in here.
You really need to get rid of that hay, it is difficult to keep humid and will mold if it is wet and can cause respiratory problems.
Have you read the care sheets ?
You need a substrate like coco coir, cypress mulch or orchid bark.
And a bigger enclosure i'm afraid, the upper level is a good idea, but Russians are athletes and he will fall off.
beer time
Adm ?
Not sand - gets in eyes, blocks nares and ca cause impaction in the gut so not advised for a healthy tort.
Please read http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/beginner-mistakes.45180/
and http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/russian-tortoise-care-sheet.80698/
carefully.
Most of the information you need is to be found in those.
No sand, it can cause impaction.
I have suggested 3 alternative substrates, if not available then good old fashioned yard dirt is fine if you can be sure it's free of chemicals (and largely free of sand and grit) .

or perhaps get a very long grappling hook and wait for a plane taking off.
