I found this little guy wandering down the road! I was told its a Russian tort. Any clues? I have a Sulcata and have them separated.

King of the hill. I went in to get my camera because he was sunning at the top of the mound. But he saw me and was on his way down when I got the shot. looking for food. This was a picture of my fledgling container garden with Wally's habitat in the background. I buried the Dogloo and...

It's a little over a year since I got Wally, and he is doing really great! He has grown SO much! We are in our new house finally and his enclosure is huge! I started a burrow for him aiming it towards the center of the enclosure so that it didn't go towards the wall. Although block wall goes...

Wally is inspecting this thing in his enclosure. Realizing what it is he tries to get a bite. [hr] I don't know why I always get 2 of one picture and they are reversed.

Well obviously I still need some more plants. But Wally has been moved into new enclosure. I kept the dog igloo since it has the CHE in it and it is still cool at night. I hid it behind the lemon tree so you don't see it when you walk up. I left the moving blankets in top of it for extra...

I had to make a temporary abode for Wally as we have not closed on our house yet and it's getting colder here at night. I was bringing him in at night and just did not like that! I was given a very large dog igloo and I spray foamed the inside and all the way around the seam ( so it will never...

I knew we would be moving in the future, so I never got really serious about a permanent enclosure for Wally, other than making the one he had at our house here a little bigger. I want to be able to see him from at least one window. That makes me happy. And I want it to be in a safe spot, where...

Sorry I get carried away with the adorable factor

Wally gets one, and the other was made into a pie for the others in the family.

Has anyone seen the article in Santa Barbara magazine on Eric Goode and his turtle and tortoise sanctuary in Ojai, California? If not, it is a fabulous article on his sanctuary. I personally am drooling over his enormous greenhouse that house some of the torts. You should see it! Brick wall...

You may remember Wally, who I adopted about a month ago. He gets around fine but his back legs weren't very strong so he kind of scooted on his knees. He ha been kept in a cage his whole life with no UVB and only occasional trips to local park to run around. No calcium and only red leaf lettuce...

Wally is inside tonight. I mat not have a perfect indoor enclosure, but he won't drown!

I just adopted this sulcata, and many of you may have seen my previous thread on pyramiding. (he is severely pyramided). He doesn't walk on his back leg feet, he uses his knees. He gets around really well. Probably even better with recent soaking and better food and real sun. But I put him in...

Well, it's me again. I soaked Wally for 25 minutes this morning. I had to change the water 6 times because he kept pooping! He did mellow out towards the end and look like he was enjoying it. But it really made a difference in his behavior today! Previous owner did not soak him. She said he...

Hello Tortoise Forum! I live in Phoenix, Arizona and I have just been given a 5 year old tortoise that has pretty bad pyramiding. The previous owner said the tortoise has been kept in a cage indoors it's whole life with only a sun replicating light. Her son only fed it only red leaf lettuce and...
