    Hello, I’m looking for a Russian tortoise Baby to add to our family. This will be our first family tortoise. My son is asking for one so I would like to purchase one as soon as possible. Do you have any available?

    Sorry, I do not. Most breeders of Russians hibernate their torts. Most likely they won't be up until March. Then laying probably around April/May and hatchling June/July.
    Winter is a hard time to try and get a hatchling of most species.
    Keep an eye out on our "for sale" section and also look on faunaclassifieds.com.
    Good luck

    Hi. Been on a Facebook site that said cypress mulch is very harmful because of its tannins and oils? I think it’s perfectly acceptable. What are your thoughts? Thank you

    Hello!! I created a new post about my VERY sick baby sully. You and Tom were so helpful on my last posts...I thought maybe you could take a look at this one and see what you think. I am so worried and I don't know what else to do. Any thoughts or suggestions are very much appreciated!!

    Do you do anything special to keep leopards. I am from St. Louis and looking at getting a leopard? Anything you can tell me helps.

    I have several, so I have a heated shed that they live in for winter. During the summer it's used for night time only. Leopards don't dig, so other then heat and uvb during colder months and a fenced area, there's nothing special that needs to be done.
    For a hatchling upto around 2-3 years old, house it in a closed chamber.

    could I see your shed for your sulcata tortoise. I need a little inspiration for mine.

    I don't have a sulcata, but I do have leopards which is the same care, they are just smaller. However, I have 4 that lives in the shed and a almost 2 year old that I am raising from hatching it in a 4x4 green house in my basement until next summer. I will try to find a picture.

    Hi, I was wondering if you use fine grade peat moss or the long stringy kind. Thanks

    I have not heard that. I have not had any problems with it, except my male leopards love going in and out of their water dish and filling the dish with the peat moss that sticks to them. Problem for me, but I think they are having fun doing it LOL

    Start a thread on the forum under the star section. You will get more help.
    For now, do warm water soaks daily for 20 minutes, keep water and tort warm during it. Raise the enclosure temp to 85 all over with a basking temp of 100.
    On the thread you need to start, give as much details as possible about the enclosure, temps, substrate, humidity, diet, the way the tort is acting, enclosure size.
