Hi, when I build indoor enclosures I use cheap linoleum flooring and silicone caulk for waterproofing. Lay it to the floor with an adhesive. Then Cut pieces for height of the sides you would like and attach with adhesive. Then caulk all your edges. Give plenty of time for it to cure and let the...
The big green egg is so nice to use. My brother in law and I have drank many of beer while tending to the egg!!
There's a lot of things you can do with it. We have used it as a regular charcoal grill but in most cases it's best to use if you enjoy your meat slowly cooked with some smoke flavor...
I have informed the seller about our wonderful tortoise forum. She was thrilled to find some things out after speaking with me. I think given the right person, you could talk her into shipping. I right now do not have the capabilities of taking on a different species. At the top of the post is...
Thank you all for your expertise. I usually do well telling species apart but this one had me for a loop! Without seeing it in person
I was convincing myself that it's color could just be super unique and wanted to lean one way. Then I would find internal arguments as to why it is not !
I was...
I'm looking into getting it right now. It's in virginia
I had the same inpression. When I first seen the pics I thought what the heck kind of species is that tortoise. Then after looking for a minute It seems to have the same features as all my other Russians minus the odd, dark coloring. I...
In all of my experience I have never seen a "russian tortoise" look like this. There are so many experienced experts and opinions here what are your thoughts?!?

Jordan,
Keep your habitat set up correct. Do what Yvonne and the care sheet says. Then....use patience! Think about it this for a minute. When or if you get sick and go to a doctor. Do you instantly feel all better when you walk out of their office? Of course not. Treatments and/or medications...
Read through the link Yvonne left at the top of the thread. In the meantime get your humidity and temps right. If you have only had the little one a few days than don't worry toooo much. If your set up gets stable than just be patient. It's not uncommon for tortoises to take a few days or more...
I love it the way it is. I have been wanting to add another section to one of mine to create an L shape like yours that I can close off. Looks like yours might sit on the ground. I always build mine with legs so that's how i put the drop tub in.
By the way, for someone who is "in over their...
Jordan,
until you can create some sort of top for it keep a spray bottle handy. Spray the substrate and mix the water in until it's well saturated. You can buy a new clean bottle at a store like walmart, target etc. For a dollar or two. You may need to do it a few times a day and can become...
Sorry accidentally hit reply.
I'm sorry to hear that . There are always a lot of torts to adopt.
I also feel your pain! Due to a a nasty divorce and vindictive x wife, Some of my torts are being held Ransom at this time:(
I have some but will get the rest back soon!
Just keep your eyes open and...
