Came home from work yesterday and while in my outdoor enclosure found a little surprise! Had no idea she laid eggs and no idea whether or not more little guys are out there hiding. How many are normally in a clutch? I have 2 males and 4 females in the enclosure and it is quite large.

Can't seem to get a straight answer on this. Can russian tortoises eat the common Pothos Plant that is available for sale in almost any Lowes or Home Depot? Thanks for your help!

I live in Sunny AZ and it has been a warm January. Today temps were in the low 80's. My little guys have been hibernating since mid October and today one of them came out for a peek. Anybody else in AZ noticing their torts coming out this early? Usually they come out mid Feb to early March.

Hey Guys, It's been a while since I've been on here and I have a question. Are Hostas ok for Russian torts to eat? What about spider plants? I live in AZ and have a hard time getting plants to grow and last. I've got aloe, hibiscus, elephant bushes, petunia's, some grasses, and...

I have 4 Russian Tortoises I keep outside in a nice very large enclosure (I live in AZ so they live outside year round). I've recently realized I have a cricket problem in the numerious hideaways I've dug/built for them. When you have a cricket problem...you soon have a scorpion problem as...

I saw this darling female crossing the street in our neighborhood. I've posted flyers to see if anybody is missing her but haven't gotten a response yet. If nobody claims her...my wife and I have agreed to sell her to a good home. I really don't know how old she is maybe somebody out there...

Hey Guys, I'm lucky to live in AZ where my Russian's can live outside all year long. I currently have 4 little guys and I've recently added to my enclosure and wanted to post the picks for some feedback and thoughts. I've dug out numerous hideaways for them so they can escape the heat -...

I found a female russian for a good price from a guy locally. The story is this poor little girl was found in a neighbors driveway 4 months ago and then donated to this guy who has a bunch of reptiles. Its my understanding she's not in the greatest enclosure (old shoe or shirt box) with very...

Hey Guys, I live in Chandler, AZ and am looking for a Female Russian - preferably breeding size. What are your recommendations on where to get one that is healthy? I'd prefer not to wait 6 months to add her to my very large outdoor enclosure where the rest of my Russian's are kept. I have...

Hey Guys, New to the site - have 3 russian tortoises and a massive outdoor enclosure. My little guys spend all year outside with very little maintenance other than being fed a few times a week. I'll have to upload pictures when I get a chance. Really glad to see that there is a website...
