I have an older lady Russian named Boris. (Yes, Boris.) She a little over 20 years old, I believe. She's huge -- nearly 8 inches straight/linear measurement.
Boris lives with 3 other females and 1 very small & extraordinarily self-satisfied male. Well, she's laid twice so far this Spring...
One of my Russian girls (Petunia) laid 2 eggs, which I successfully hatched this past June. The babies are now nearly 2" long. I realize that they're too small to be put in with the rest of my thundering herd (ranging from 4" - 7" carapace length), but I'd appreciate some expert advice re: at...
[/b]I have an older Russian girl named Boris. Yes, Boris. Very healthy and heavy. She's perhaps 15 years old (or just a tad more), her carapace is nearly 7" long, and up until I adopted her about 2 years ago she had always lived alone. Well, at Casa Me she lives with 2 other girls and a...
My 15+ y.o. Russian laid 2 comparatively large eggs today, and I've placed them in a Hovabator D-2362-N, at 31.6 c. Couple of open bowls of water, and there's water in the bottom tray of the Hovabator. So, humidity's fine. What I'm not sure of is this: I have the eggs in a tupperbowl bowl...

I've never tried to incubate eggs before, and so this is my first experience with hatchlings. Question: At what age/size...
First Time ever posting here. I'll appreciate comments.
Pair of happy, healthy sulcatas available for trade. Raised together from hatchlings, though they're from different clutches. Erno & Ogre. His shell's about 15" long, and he weighs about 10.5 pounds. Her shell's about 9" long, and she...
Evenin'. Just discovered the site, thanks to a heads-up from a friendly tortoise afficionado. I'm WoofWolf, in the Mid-Atlantic Area, and I live with a number of tortoises.
I've always been fond of these critters. As a kid in Arizona, had 2 desert tortoises, General and Major, and a Texas...
