I don't think so. She only does it one or two times a day, I understand that it is normal now. But now I'm curious as to why my Female did it the FIRST day I got her, but Bosley, NEVER does it. I do not remember seeing him yawn. And I agree it is adorable :)

Ah, That's makes it easier. Alrighty ;)

is it a random thing torts do then?

Maybe, but Natalie doesn't do it when she wakes up. She does it randomly. And she is the ONLY one out of the tortoises who do it. Thanks for the information though. It could help! :)

My conflicting problem is whether or not young tortoises need A LOT of hydration or not. A. (This information was what I got from Tom, who clearly knows what he is doing) "Young tortoises, NEED hydration, it helps with shell growth, and when the female digs it's nest in the wild. The nest is...

I have two adult/young adult Russian Tortoises, a male, and a female. I have noticed over the past months that my female will at least once or twice a day 'yawn' now, when I say this. I am not implying she is actually 'yawning' but, some days, she will just be standing there. And she opens her...

One more thing, yes I agree, my expectation of exact pictures is for anybody I would buy from here. On TFO. Sorry I didn't explain myself well enough, I hope this cleared everything up. :)

When you say 'intelligent' you need to be more specific. Tortoises, are brilliant. Or what you could call 'brilliant.' now, from what I know there are two different types of being brilliant when it comes to animals. (There may be more, if you think there is another type, I would love to join...

Thanks, I'm not worried about getting a 'perfect' specimen. That's not my goal. The thing I'm worried about, (And I have seen this many times, not as much in reptile breeds though) is when they say: 'Grade B turtles have minor shell imperfections, damaged eyes, missing claws..etc..' That's not...

Of course I researched and I am prepared to take on the responsibility of owning a turtle, (not all the way prepared, still getting there.) I merely said 'too go with my two Russians' because I wanted to point out that I'm not new to this forum, and buying this turtle would have not been my...

Hello Anthony. So yesterday I asked the question of where to get a high quality turtle. In august I'm gonna try to get a Male Razorback Musk turtle hatchling. Somebody told me you know a lot about turtles. So if you could check it out and give me an answer I would be very happy. Thanks. Here...

Thank's I'll message them.

It's fine, know any sights that do sell them.

I looked at it, it doesn't sell turtles itself, but it does seem like a good website. Thank you, I may use this for supplies, as for actually buying the turtle, I don't know where to go.

I'm thinking about getting a Male Musk Turtle Hatchling. To go with my two Russians. I have thought it all through, and I would get them after I came back from Europe. (In august) I was looking for a place to buy them. I started with pet stores, and I didn't see any pet stores around where I...

Hello. I have not been on in a while. I have thought about some things. First off, you said earlier that My male tortoise could just be showing signs on dominance towards another male. I have pondered this, and I do not think this is true, now I could be wrong, so if I am please correct me. When...

Yes, I agree. She is currently in her temporary enclosure, we will be getting her a bigger one soon. Also, she is a full grown Russian so she doesn't need humidity as much. (she still has a little, but too much gives them a respiratory infection, learned that the hard way) But the greeks should...

I'm really happy that you care for you animals, after practice you will be a great tortoise owner, Margot is in safe hands, she is very lucky to get somebody like you to take care of it, this is one of the best places to talk about tortoises. Best of luck to Margot, and welcome to the forum

Glad I could have helped. But listen, her enclosure is TOO SMALL but, luckily it's not that hard to find an enclosure for them, just get them a plastic box, of some sort, and fill it with everything they need, here is a pic, you can find everything you need in places you would never consider...

Here is everything you need to take care of a tortoise. http://www.reptilesmagazine.com/Care-Sheets/Turtles-Tortoises/Greek-Tortoise/ I would not recommend buying ANYTHING from that pet store EVER again, buy everything you need for a tortoise online. That place clearly does not know the first...
