Hi, I am looking to find a good home for my female Russian tortoise. I am unable to properly take care of her with my schedule becoming crazy. I'm not sure how old she is since I got her from Petco, but I've had her for three years, and she is a little over 5 inches in length if that's...

These pictures are only a day or two old; I actually had to weed some of the seedlings out. I also cleared another small area of grass so it doesn't seem so cluttered. It looks busy though, and she likes it!

The seeds are growing fast!

Coleus, celosia, snake plant, pony tail palm, dianthus, bromeliad, begonia and geraniums.

She paced the western wall three times. Is this normal for her to do until she is used to it? She did that then went inside her underground hide.

We don't have a Home Depot close to us, so this morning I went out and laid some more boards down and covered them with soil, hopefully that's enough to prevent an underground escape. I also replaced the underground hide with a bigger pot:

Just one :)

The two geraniums I put in with their pots are staying like that. I plan on keeping them alive through the winter (hopefully). Same with the begonia. She's not too fond of the geranium yet, though. The two bright colored ones are coleus and they unfortunately die over the winter but look nice in...

It is 9 ft x 8 ft. My parents didn't think we would have to bury any lumber underground but now that it's done and they have seen her attempts, we are digging some logs on the fence side and the side adjacent the one that in the picture has a log laying against the ground. We did that with the...

Sorry about the location. Thank you for adding that in the title.

Thank you!

I posted earlier about this, but no one seemed interested at the time. I have two butterfly koi fish that are each 5 inches long. They are in desperate need of re-homing. My parents bought them thinking they were small goldfish (that's what the employees told them) so they got them a ten gallon...

I just finished adding her second story. She was exploring it more than she did last year. I am still going to go for the bookshelf though, maybe I could even add this enclosure on to the bookshelf...

I did have a second level once... she didn't seem to like it. She never used it and acted terrified of it. I don't know why... I know it's not best, but I guess what I mean is; is it okay during the winter? There is still a possibility of her getting a larger enclosure, i will just have to work...

I've posted in the past about my concern for Russian's small enclosure, which is only 4'x2', and I have recently been wondering if the conditions my tortoise is going to be living in for a few more years (three at most) is really practical. She is a little bigger than 5" now, and she gets really...

How did you remove the grass so quickly? I will be doing an outdoor enclosure and that could really shorten the amount of time it takes to make it. Thanks.

I just purchased a huge barrel cactus from my school's greenhouse and I was wondering if the fruit or flowers are okay to feed to my two tortoises every once in a while? Maybe once a week when it's blooming? It is developing some flowers now, so it'd be nice if they were good tortoise food.

It was probably around 110 F. I didn't have a temp gun, and the gauge I used said it was only 90 F.

I got one of my tortoises online. I got her from LLL Reptile, and they were great about it. I recommend them.
