Luna (small), Handsome (medium) and Honey (large) enjoying some sunshine while I clean and refresh their individual enclosures. Also a good time for romance. ❤️

I had the opportunity to visit with @tortdad briefly today. I gave him an aquarium I had sitting around and he gave me a piece of corrugated pipe to use as a hide for my outdoor enclosure. Kind of networking for supplies. :). I can tell y'all he's a really nice guy.

Here are a couple of the box turtles that live wild in my yard at my weekend house. I see them in the spring and summer. The one in the box we found while my husband was mowing. I put him in a box on the porch for about 30 minutes to make sure he hadn't been hit by the mower. Luckily he had not...

This is probably a silly little thread but...how did you come up with a name for your tortoise? Had I known I would end up with 3 red foots, I would have named them Larry, Moe and Curly. But they came to me one at a time so I gave them names that could me male or female (they are juveniles)...

Here we go again. Yesterday I went to Petco just to pick up some cuttle bones for my tortoises. I happened to walk by the tortoise tank that they have there. I looked in and all the tortoises looked horrible. They were all Russians and they were all extremely dry looking. I asked one of the...

My three red kids :) Starting at the top going clockwise. Mango, Shasta, Jinx. I love The way Jinx's head is marked. The two round patterns remind me of the eyes of a mask.

@Tom, in your experience, how big does a Russian female have to be before she starts laying eggs?

Do some Russians have "spur like" bumps on their butts? :). Best picture I could get

The other 2 are sleeping in but Shasta is having a nice breakfast.

When I got my two yearling redfoots about 6 weeks ago, I actually wanted three. My friend/occasional breeder I got them from had three but one was already spoken for. Anyway, that deal apparently fell through so I'm getting that third little one tomorrow. Quite happy about that. All these...

Here are my 5 donkeys. Mumu, Faith (the girls), Homer, Simon and Kenny. They are all loves!

Here is Honey. This is the female Russian I rescued a few days ago. I'm giving her some supervised free roaming time in the yard.

I went to the home of a new acquaintance yesterday and found a sad sight. A nice sized Russian female in a ten gallon aquarium. Inside were Paper towels as substrate, a small water dish and a food bowl. That's it. I calmly asked a few questions and found she bought her at Petco about three weeks...

One of my little yearling red foots has started chirping. It sounds kind of like a rain frog. It's adorable! Does anyone else's do this?

One of my yearling (almost) red foots decided to eat from my hand this morning. I've only had Shasta for just over a week. He/she came from a breeder friend of mine and had been living in a large indoor enclosure. He is now in a very secure outdoor pen so that must have been a bit of a shock to...

should be good for a few years. I have plenty of room to expand as they grow. Sent from my iPhone using Tortoise Forum

Hello everyone. This looks like a fun place to talk tortoise. . I'm a life long turtle and tortoise lover. I had turtles in my younger years but tortoises now have a special place in my heart. I've had my Russian for about 6 years now. He is a wonderful little tort and quite a pistol...
