Hello, We are looking to find very good home for our 3 1/2 year old Marginated Tortoise named Shelby. We believe her to be a female. She's healthy and elegantly beautiful. And a sweet personality. Please let me know if you have any interest. Thanks. Kathi in San Diego, CA.
I was wondering if you could help me my tortoise is an African leopard ans he is 15 years old, last year a part of his shell lifted and came off and I have recently notice his shell is really dry and other parts are beginning to lift as well, I think it may be shell rot
I have a tortoise that I’ve had for 3 years now I’m not sure what she is I’ve been doing research for a while now still can’t seem to figure out what she is. I rescued her from by a lake in Pompano Beach Fl. She’s a tortoise I know that for sure. She’s well and active. I just want to know what specie she is to be able to better care for her.
I have a 12 year old female Russian tortoise that I want to rehome. She is my daughter’s tortoise, but my daughter is at college now, my wife has health issues I need to attend to and we cannot give the tortoise the attention it deserves. We live in Hudson, Ohio. Please let me know if you are interested. I am willing to provide a new enclosure with heat lamp and substrate for free. I will bring the tortoise to you.
Reading up on RF. Theyre supposed to like a list of things including cuttlebone, did I purchase a (sorry) defective (sorry) RF? They don’t act or do RF things I find on this forum. •they don’t act sick, no bubbles, no goop from any places, no shell rot, no pyramiding. Humidity is high, I got new lights (prev thread)
I’m lost. I hope they’ll act according to the book

I just put Speedy on the scale (very first weigh in since adoption on May 19)
1.25 oz - I have NOTHING to go off of.
I’ll take weight in a few days time to make sure they’re not dropping
I saw your posts about having a closed chamber for baby tortoises. My question is, at what time is the tortoise a juvenile and not a baby anymore? I have a hermann's tortoise born in 2023, it weighs 23g and is like 2 1/2 inches big. Does it still need the closed chamber with 80% min. humidity or can i move him to a open top? Thank you!
Hey bud I recently rescued an approx 45lb sulcata tortoise about 6 months ago.. I was curious if you had any tips for cleaning the bottom of thier shell, I have read if you flip them over it’s really bad on their intestines and lungs. Do you have any tips? We are currently just trying to spray underneath with a hose while they walk
Hi Tom,
I was curious if you have any male Burmese Stars for sale. We only have about 20 sq ft for an indoor enclosure so I want to get a male to maximize their space, but I am having a hard time finding one for sale that is over a year old and can tell the gender. Would appreciate any help or insight, thanks!
Wow!!!! The biggest poop from Speedy. I had to help get the rest out with a Qtip. Then a nice soak made the difference. No wonder his/her eating was slowed.
Actually, I haven't lived in MA since 1967. After that I lived in CT until 2002.
The only one in MA who might have any would be Alan Flynn. His phone is (781) 504-6702

He may have retired and/or even moved out of state by now, but I don't think so.
