    A good size

    I'm suggesting to my mother she get a Russian, what is a good size enclosure? I tell her "The bigger the better" and she just asks "But how big?" :\ I guess the real question is What is too small?

    Actually getting a Tort

    Wow, thanks for all your opinions. I guess I will just have to let her know about each option, what she is supporting, and let her decide. After all it is her decision. I have checked both CL and FC for her area with no luck.

    Actually getting a Tort

    Hi! like I mentioned in my intro I am here for my mother, doing all the research since she is not computer savvy, and I am also doing it from afar. I think she would be happy with a Russian, but I was wondering if places like PetSmart or other Pet Stores are as controversial with Tortoises...

    If being in the rain is ok for them than that's great, and I will def let her know that. I will have to read up on the different species of the smaller ones and see what works with them... as far as height of walls and such. I think she may use a kiddie pool in the house because they may be...

    Looking for info!

    She lives in Kentucky, winters of course the little guy would have to come inside. I'm sure she would be able to have something outside too. The summers are probably perfect in her area for living outside. I'll have to do more reading and tell her the sort of dimensions. What sort of cover...

    Looking for info!

    Yes, def a small one. I would urge her to probably get the smallest she could. It will be inside the house. She first told me she planned on keeping it in a 10gal tank. I told her it would out grow that very quickly, and would need something at least the size of a large kiddie pool. Is...

    Looking for info!

    I think any pet can become addictive when you love them and are passionate about the species! I would def add to my brood if I were able to. When you say expensive, what kind of monthly number (per tort) would you say? How many do you have btw? If I were talking about getting a tortoise for...

    Looking for info!

    Hey guys and gals- I am here for my mother who wants to add another pet to her household. They have one cat now, his name is Rico and is about 15 yrs old. Poor cat is acting his age too, walks with a limp, and is very lazy. About 2 months ago I added a parrot to our family and that is what...
