Hello. I am in Yuma, Az and would be willing to travel to Phoenix and Tucson areas to pick up animals as well as foster them if needed. Also will be checking Craigslist for ads. It's wonderful that you guys are doing this.

Could someone please answer my russian tortoise question? If it was bad I want to save it but if it looks good I don't want to waste my resources on something that doesn't need me.

Where was it? I've seen Russians on Craigslist a few times, but they're usually in pretty good shape surprisingly.


Well, I just saw this.

Does it look bad to everyone else?

Some pyramiding, but not real bad. They know it needs more room and are wanting adopters with knowledge. I think this would be a great one to work with the owner to give them proper information and this site for them to give out to new owners they may pick. Could let them know, that if they don't find what they feel is a good home, that this service is available for them to use and that you would find it a home.

Not bad at all pyramiding there. But nothing like Charlie..

That's what I thought. When I hear back from them I will tell them about this site and suggest they try and have him adopted off here.

Don't forget that we have a 30/30 rule. New members can't use the 'for sale' sections until they've been a member for 30 days or have made 30 posts.

Did not see anything on a russian. Maybe a redfoot?

Nope. It was a russian. Close to me.

Meh... Looks okay, I guess. Has a little pyramiding, but not the wonky kind we see with MBD. I think as long as the sellers know he needs better than he currently has, that's a good sign. They want the buyers to understand what they're getting into. That's a very good sign. I'm not too worried about him. :)

Hard to see, the picture is pretty blurry but that shell does not look too good. I emailed the person just asking the age and if I could get some pictures from the top and the side of the tort. Best to start it out slow to get the info we need if it does end up being a rescue situation. I will let every know what I find out :)

I think I've seen this one somewhere on here this week. If not in this thread maybe it's in reposted ads?? I think someone else was emailing for more info also.
