I am in Arizona but I've been looking to adopt a Russian Tortoise if you are willing to ship. I already own 4 and have a huge outdoor enclosure for them. Arizona weather is perfect for them. Best of luck!

I've had one Russian Tortoise for several years now and recently got 3 more. I have built a big 20 feet X 6 feet enclosure for all 4 (1 male, 3 female). I live in the Phoenix Arizona area. I was wondering if there are any other Russian Tortoise owners in Arizona who have bred them who could...

Thanks guys, and Tom, thank you. That is some very good information. Does anyone know what the usual hatch rate is for Sulcatas?

She has! Thanks for asking. She laid another clutch of 30 eggs last week. I put them in the same incubator, however now it is full, so I may need to make another in case she has any more clutches. I noticed one of my eggs from her original clutch started to mold. I picked it up and it felt very...

Hi I live in Mesa and would be interested in adopting your tortoise! I currently own a few Sulcatas and have a big yard so I would love to add another. I'll send you a message.

Hey everyone! I haven't been to active on this thread, but I love tortoises and have always used the info here to help me out as I take care of mine. There has been some great advice so thank you all for sharing your knowledge. I own a Russian Tortoise thanks to a current forum member. I have...

I'm sure if you listed them in the adoption section, you will find plenty of great people willing to give them a good home

Hi Jeff, thank you for offering to adopt your tortoises. I recently adopted another Tortoise from a forum member, so I am trying to focus my efforts on him and my other tortoises. I will be moving to a larger house in a few months with a larger yard so I don't want to take in any more tortoises...

Thanks for the help guys, he just mated with the bigger female. She is definitely big enough and it seems like he isn't harassing her yet, but I am watching to make sure he doesn't get too crazy. I have separated my smaller female from them to keep her safe.

Hi there, I'm somewhat new to this forum, but I had a question about Sulcatas. I have a male Sulcata that has recently started to mate. He is trying to mate with an 11 inch female that I have. I also have a 15 inch female but he hasn't tried to mate with her yet, but maybe he'll try in the...

I think I'll look for a bush to plant if I can. I will definitely monitor the temperature to make sure that it is cool enough in the hide. I also plan to spray him down with water regularly. Thanks for the help everyone.

I could always pull the bricks out more too to make it bigger, if he doesn't have enough room.

Thanks! It's about 9 by 5 feet. I have a water dish, but a Terra cotta saucer would be perfect. I'm a little worried about planting a bush, since we are currently renting. But I'll see how he likes the hide and make another if he doesn't seem happy with the one. We will be buying a home within...

I'm somewhat new to this forum, but I excited to be adopting a Russian Tortoise from Blake soon, so I've started working on an enclosure for him. I have attached what I've done so far. Just curious to see what you think and if you have any suggestions. Thanks!

Hi I'm new to the forum, but I've been taking care of tortoises for some time. I really like the burrow you made. I was wondering if you have had any flooding problems with it when it rains?
