Spent time in N. Little Rock on work years ago. Still have a girlfriend in Sherwood.

Today's question for you. Have you ever had a really sensitive tortoise? She's a Russian I've had several weeks; probably 7 years old. The ad said field raised. She has been quiet and a good eater. I took her out for sunning this morning, put her in a 14 x 10@

Hello mr Tom so ive been using the orchid bark and my boy seems to love it but i just cant seem to find the fine grade variant its only ever the bigger chunks i get it in 8quarts bags at Lowes the brand is bettergro

I live in south central Mississippi. I prefer cold weather, so this summer was blazingly hot even for us. I have my first two tortoises, Russians, who have to live inside because of fire ants and minks.

Where in CO?

I apologize, I had too many characters in my post and had to shorten it. My question is do I need to add anything else to the floor of the pond and how cold does should the water be for them to hibernate.
Thank you.

Hello,
It was suggested you may be able to give me advice on Red Ear Slider turtles hibernating over winter. I live in Colorado, elevation is 7400 feet. We built a 5 foot pond with extra large river rock on the floor of the pond. The pond is enclosed in a greenhouse, to keep predators out.

Hello, I was told you might be able to help me, im wondering if any fish could be compatible with a european pond turtle?

Okay, Mali Is over 50 lbs She is a sweetheart, i moved us down to Arizona full time. She is getting a bit hard for me to handle. I think I’ll make some phone calls in the area. If you know (and I mean KNOW !) please pass on if you know someone

Thanks!

Hello, what substrate do you use for indian star?

Hello NaviCherrios - I'm following up on the hingeback tortoise that you had for the summer - If we could confirm the species, I wonder if the teacher would be willing to consider placing it in a breeding program? It might be an extremely rare tortoise! I could possibly trade back a hatchling of the same species that the class could grow up. Just thinking out loud...Thanks for your help!

I am looking to get an Aldabra and am in a similar climate to you in Delaware. I was wondering how difficult it was to keep them.

I am ex Air Force, retired, have 3 redfoots Ive raised from babies and might be able to help you. And I will NOT steal your tortoise. Can you supply any pics and give a size please? Thank you.

About two days ago I got a male Russian tortoise who is 3 and a half years old. Over all he seems happy but sometimes he seems a bit bored. If it is possible do you have some advice on how I could play or interact with him? Would you recommend any toys or activities?

My hatchling passed away I took him to the vet here his lungs weren't fully developed due to him accidentally splitting his egg a bit to soon. Does anyone know of anywhere to get a baby box turtle??????? Please let me know
