Hello, I'm looking to give away a Russian tortoise who has been with us for about 6 years. My daughter, his main caretaker, is going away to college. Please help find a loving home for our little guy.
Hi Tom, I rescued a big Sulcata from a neighbor. He wasn't being fed/housed properly. He's approx. 15-16?-weighs about 70 lbs. Need suggestions for housing him in winter. We've kept him in the basement the last two winters but looking for alternative, if possible, because of mess and smell. I'm in NE Ohio. Have you suggestions? Thank you, Donna (Tortilla lover).
Archies enclosure is finally set up correctly! He has two CHEs with a thermostat, coco coir topped with reptibark, the greenhouse, and the UVB is here it just needs to be hung up properly!
Hello, Good pellets for sulcata should be low in protein, high in fiber, right? What % should the protein be? Is 18% protein, 20-26% fiber good? I'm confused about what pellets to use, I'm confused between T balance pellets, JGS premium torto food, Zion nutrimax and Mazuri. The composition and ingredients of the pellets I mentioned earlier are good. so I'm confused, can you give a recommendation?
I got a baby red foot turtle. My first time with a red foot.
I feel lost specially with management temperature and humidity in south Florida. Now is very hot, around 93 degrees and I see the baby inside the hiding spot and not too active. IDK, any recommendations on how manage this extreme temps here ? My plan is keep him outside, but now not too sure if this is ok.
Any recommendations.
Thanks!
hi, I want to ask, is it safe to give Rept shine (shell moisturizer) to the torto shell so it doesn't dry out? Because the humidity in my cage is only 40-53 and I can't increase the humidity in my cage to 80 or above. And I don't want my sulcata pyramiding because the shell is too dry. Please answer

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.
Yes, I have several Russian tortoise hatchlings. They are still quite small, but will be ready to ship in October.
