    Reviving an old thread here but I just recently adopted a 10yo RES (7in male). He’s currently in a 110gal stock tank in the backyard. I’m in Davis so I’m neighbors with Sacramento. Do I need a heater?

    Wendy Filter? Pump size?

    I know this is an old thread, but I’m going to be building a Wendy filter for my 100gal stock tank for my RES. I want to make sure I buy a pond pump that’s appropriate. I need a pump that’s rated for 200gal right? What GPH should I be looking for? (Are those two separate things?) Lost beginner...

    Russian loves to poop on things

For whatever reason, he has a preference to do his business on everything but his substrate! Oh, some cute fake succulents? Perfect. A couple DIY hides for climbing and burrowing...

    Arcadia T5 6% or 12% for Russian tortoise

    Hi Tom! I've been reading as many of your posts as I can haha. As much as I would love to build an outdoor enclosure, I live in an apartment complex currently so I can't just yet. I'm hoping to rent a house next year with a backyard so I can upgrade to an outdoor enclosure. If I were to skip...

    Arcadia T5 6% or 12% for Russian tortoise

    I've been searching through the threads to find information on the difference between the Arcadia T5 6% and 12% UV tubes. I just purchased the 6% because I thought it meant I can hang it at a lower height (I'm not sure where I got this idea from--please let me know if I'm misunderstanding). I...

    Pre-Made Enclosures

    You should reference the Russian Tortoise care sheets. https://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/russian-tortoise-care-sheet.80698/ It's recommended that adult Russian tortoises get 4x8 ft enclosures or larger. Lots of pre-made tables are generally too small (at least that's what I gathered from...
