Hey guys I have a Northern Red Bellied turtle and I read on eHow.com that you should put gravel high up on one side and then put a flat rock there for a basking area. Can I use a turtle dock instead of that? Thanks guys.
Hey guys I had a quick question. My russian stays under the heat lamp all day! It isn't even cold and he still stays there except to go eat. He even stays in the same place when I turn off the lamp at night. Is this normal? What can I do to make him more active?
RE: Russain and Box Turtle
Thanks! Also, I've seen Big Apple Pet Products and Zoomed sell this kind of tortoise table (I built my own). Can I buy that and put a box turtle in there?
Hey guys I have a 50 gallon tank with about 10-12 fish. I really want an African Sideneck Turtle. Do you think the turtles and fish can live together without the turtle killing any of the fish? If so, what do I need to care for the turtle?
Hey guys I've been wanting an ornate box turtle for pretty much all my life. I looked and I couldn't find one so I got a Russian tortoise. I was at the pet store in a different city. I saw an ornate box turtle and the enclosure was almost the same enclosure as my russian tortoise enclosure could...
I was in petsmart the other day and in the small tanks were they kept the Russian tortoises I saw there was only 1 male and 1 female and they were mating
I came home and I saw my RT dangling from the edge!!! He climbed to the top of his log and was dangling from the edge of the enclosure!! Is this normal? Why does he want to escape so bad!?
