Also what alternatives to plastic lini g do you guys use?

Unfortunately while i have control over the house to some degree i do not have any over the yard. I can grow plants but they need to be in a bucket to contain the dirt. The one you suggested welling is a great idea. The tortoises also get some decent outisde time but i live in an area with lots...

yes i have the room and i live alone so its not like i have to please anyone else. In Terms of it being comfortable. The other thing is i really want my tortoises to be the highlight of where i live i want it to be big.

Hello everyone! After moving into my new house I have more creative freedom when it some to enclosures and because of this and because my tortoises are my joy in life I'm planning on building them their new habitats. Taco and fajita of course are male and female so they need to be seperated. I'm...

So after having fajita for over a year now I felt confident enough to get another tortoise. I felt this way because over the course of the last year it was a bumpy ride that gradually smoothed out and now Fajita while not living outside unless I take her out is having a good time. I wake up in...

i wonder if yvonne has seen this before

She did it more than just in her sun bathing spot she did it seems real other places in her enclosure I don't have my hopes up but I neglected to include that into the post

Yes she is most certainly a female lol

So i posted this video earlier onto the the russian tortoise owners facebook page. They all gave the resounding answer that she was going to be laying an egg soon or that she is going through her hormonal changes to an adult. Let me know what you guys think either way its a cute video...

Whenever I get a male russian he's going to be named taco and when they have babies they will be referred to as nachos.

Now that I think about it her water might just be to cold for her to even think about it. It gets sunlight at a very specific part of the day and the bottom is layered with black river rock so they heat up the water. I might just invest in Che to aim at the water bowl to get It warm. That being...

And when I'm talking about using her basking bulb I mean putting it over top of the tub I use to soak her in.

I've tried using her basking bulb to keep the water warm but I might end up buying a Che to aim at her drinking dish and warm it up a bit.

The show goes on here in my house hold. Fajita is doing well and she has became more sociable and usually wakes up when I do. It's kinda funny but whenever I haven't fed her yet she will be waiting on her food brick until I move her to put food out. She still does not like soaking and that might...

She surprised me this morning by seeing me of went I went to work. More than likely she did this because she was hungry. She has been more friendly. I think it might be because I hand fed her and gave her some treats. I did this in a way so that she saw my face in hopes that she associates it...

The only thing I wish is that they would remove the watermark on the picture

Here's a picture of Fajita

Hey guys have you all used this app called prisma? I found it not to long ago it's really neat if you want to edit a picture of your tort. Here is a side by side of my little fajita.

Also here is a good picture of her eating. She loves escarole.

Yes the basking spot reaches 97 to 100. The main thing I want to stress is that I'm not looking for the process to be quick I understand that it will take time. I'm just worried there might not be enough enrichment in her habitat to make her want to come out.
