    Heating lamp

    He never said he needed a basking bulb he just said it's the kind he got. He's probably just looking for a good heat bulb.

    Am I crazy! Did He Get Bigger Overnight?

    What happened to saying "they shed to grow like snakes" buddy? You were accusing me of saying that but now lucky you the message is deleted. All the things that didn't make me look like a fool were deleted as well. So let's just say I don't care what a bunch of adults think about me. No offense :)

    Heating lamp

    Those bulbs aren't really good. I think the problem is the bulbs. I strongly suggest buying a CHE. They're about the best heat bulbs you can find on amazon, I use them too: Amazon.com: Simple Deluxe 150W 2-Pack Ceramic Heat Emitter Reptile Heat Lamp Bulb No Light Emitting Brooder Coop Heater...

    Heating lamp

    How long do you keep them on for? I strongly recommend keeping them on for the day and off for the night. So only 12 hours a day.

    That isn't even a tortoise. What does that have to do with this.

    Am I crazy! Did He Get Bigger Overnight?

    " Just like humans and many other animals, tortoises do shed their skin. Tortoises shed skin from their head, limbs, and tails in the form of patches and flakes on quite a regular basis. " Also don't forget that thread I linked you :)

    2 Year old Russian Hibernating? or Is the heating too cold/hot?

    I agree with Cathie, my I agree with Cathie, my Franklin has also been trying to hibernate and I'm not letting him. Wait until we're out of the cold time of year and he'll get active again. Like Cathie said, a Russian doesn't need to hibernate.

    Digging at the wall

    Yeah because tortoises take a while to get used to their new habitat, especially if they are wildly caught.

    Digging at the wall

    Then she is probably trying to escape. Give her some more time to get used to her new habitat then eventually she'll realize it's useless then stop. How long have you had her for?

    What is happening?

    It looks like her shell is pyramiding. I'm not sure though, it looks really bad. I suggest immediately increasing the humidity of her enclosure and giving her a good soak daily for 20-30 minutes. That might stop it.

    Good Calcium for diet?

    That diet looks like it has a bit of calcium to me, but I suggest if you're gonna feed him greens then sprinkle some calcium supplement on them then mix the greens with your hands.
