I have a Russian tortoise for sale with 40 gallon tank, lights and accessories in Southwest Virginia. I had big plans to make her an outdoor enclosure etc etc but life just isnt letting me accomplish that and I feel horrible having her in the tank all the time. I want her to go to someone with a...

Just wanted to update with some new pics of Kiahs growth in hopes it looks healthy. She seems fine and has settled into our family well.

Are these dandelion greens?

Do I just throw them on top of the soil and let them go or do I need to bury them? (Testudo mix)

Where the dirt is, is where I Plan to plant the weed seeds. Looking for a 2nd pool to add on a water place and more plants / shade areas. Will cut a hole in side of each and ramp then together. Getting chicken wire for the top to keep birds out.

Got my girl Kiah (Ky- yah) about a month ago and fell into the pet store trap, so I'm so glad I found this forum. I look forward to learning all I can to make her, the happiest tortoise I can. She seems happy and healthy so far but I've already learned some mistakes I was making and am fixing...

This is all I see for most of the pics on here like for enclosure suggestions and such. How do I fix this?

My baby seems to be doing well. Her name is Kiah. But I'm slightly concerned about her shell. I know the white spaces are growth and that excites me but she seems to have some divets (cant think of another word to describe them) in places that concern me a bit. I currently feed Kale, butternut...
