I Saw a tortoise crossing the road, so I had my dad stop the car and I carried to the other side where it was headed. It was black all over, I live in Florida, and I was wondering what type of tortoise it is?
I try to rub chester on the head every day so he gets used to me. Usually he he goes in his shell or leaves a little bit of his head out. Today I Petted him and he keep his head out, he even seemed to like it😄. I think he is starting to warm up to me😄!
My Tort Is not pooping and the last time he did poop it was like a light greenish brown and it almost looked like stringy. I can't post a pic because I threw it away. I am feeding him watery goods like heart of romain and some cucumber, to encourage poop.
My tort is not eating all his food, like he will eat his food but only like 75%. I don't think I am feeding too much. Also I don't think this is a big deal, but every time I take him outside it looks like his whole body is throbbing.
I was feeding my Russian today and I saw these little bugs on his food rock, they look like white ants. Any subjections about getting rid of them? Are they ok to have?
Got my Russian tort a new outdoor enclosure for good weather, but when he is out there all he dose is try to escape. Should I take him out, he seems happier when he is outside. All I want is for my tort to be happy.
Have been asking so many questions lately, I am just nervous about Chester living outside. Are all these plants a good varied diet for my Russian tort?
Crimson Clover
White New Zealand Clover
Red Clover
Plantain
Turf Fescue
Orchard Grass
Fescue, Creeping Red
Chia
Chicory
Turnip Greens
Timothy...
How do you make small safe burrow? I have a hard plastic kiddy pool and I would like to build a burrow, but I don't think my soil is strong enough for a tort made burrow. I have a male Russian tortoise if that makes a difference. Thanks!
I Won't to let my Russian let my Russian outside more often, but I am worried about humidity. What is the max humidity levels I should let my Russian out in. Right now if it is higher than 67% I don't let him out. What are the dangers of too high humidity? Thanks![hr]
I live in Florida, and will...
Love my Russian Chester! The only problem is that I live in Florida, it is very humid like 60%-80%. what kind of tortoise like my Russian, not too big, VEGETARIAN, good personality, and can take higher humidity. Thanks
I was wondering what is the best tort for Florida's weather? It is very humid about 50%-80%, it is hot hear usuly never get below 70, except in winter. Of course I would have a indoor enclosure for bad weather. Thanks!
I am interested in a leopard, but not for a LONG while. I read the care sheet but it confused me. Could you tell me the basics for caring for a leopard. Like heat day and night, humidity, enclosure size, best substrate, and other things that I need to know. If I get one it would be a hatchling...
Just got Chester a cuttlebone and I found out you have to take off the hard baking, is that true? If so then wouldn't it be easier to just buy powder for his food? Let me know what you thank. Thanks!
Chester just flashed me. I am a little dazed, I mean I was not expecting to see that when I came to pay him a visit! I have a few questions, douse this happen a lot? Also douse that mean that he will start to get aggressive? Thanks!
