And anyone want it? Lol. I haven't a clue about water turtles. Any info about this? Dropped off by a friend. I need to rehome it soon.

My tortoises are all good eaters. Haha. Anyone have any good ideas for landscaping plants that are tortoise safe but that they won't devour the second they're planted? Lol

No, our house is on a corner, so our side yard is parallel with the street. This wouldn't be a problem if the neighbors driveway wasn't on that street. We have to have a 15 ft setback from our property line for visibility.

This is what I've been thinking as well. Ugh. Lol

Here are the pics.

Big dilemma here. We recently purchased a home. We had the intention of expanding our side yard to build an awesome tortoise enclosure for our 2:4 group of Russians. When we first looked into it, this was possible. After further exploration and talking to our city planning department, it appears...

Sorry for the late reply! Yvonne, that would be great if you could take it. I live in Turlock, but drive down to Clovis on occasion. I'll pm you with more details once get more info from my friend.

My friend is looking for a home for a relatives tortoise. We both weren't sure about the species but it looks like a gopher tortoise? We live in California. Is this species protected? Not sure how to go about finding a new home for her tortoise.

Thanks! I'll take this conversation over to the North American tortoise section. I need to learn some more about this species so I can help her rehome it.

Is there a species identification thread? My friend sent me these pictures. She said the tortoise is at least 35 years old. Is this a Russian?

Also, "he" might be a "she".

I was wondering what type of plant it is. It has a very shallow root though. I'll have to get a closeup of it. There is definitely some chia growing underneath the Amazon, as well as some clover.

So I planted my seed mix a couple months ago. I'm thinking I seeded it too thickly? Lol. It's all one type of plant that has made a little jungle for my Russians. They seem to like it though. I will have to try again I suppose. Could it also be that I planted in winter and only some of the seeds...
