Adopting Grace

[terracolson]

I am awaiting on the arrival of a female russian!!

here are her picks...

I hope she is a girl, otherwise, i got to find her another home! I have 2 boys and 1 girl now.. Grace will make 2 and 2. Got to find me 2 more....

She is 100% sure its a girl, but I dont know for sure till i see.

2 bad she could not have included a tail shot that would solve your questions, anyways gratz I got 2 males and 1 female they don't fight with each other amazingling, but introduce her and all the sudden it is battle of the titans in there.

She's gorgeous! But the slope of the shell in the back makes me think male---are you going to trim her beak at home, or take her in and get it done? Myself, I want to look into getting a dremel! If you have someone to help hold them, its not terribly hard to trim.

Nice looking little tortoise...

 

[terracolson]

Well The beak, I will deal with till i can get help from Father Demetri, I hear He can help me with that.

I want to ask for a tale shot, but if she is a he, we have tons of adoption applications with people asking for Russians. So to rehome him, would only take a day.

So as soon as she comes, i will update

Hope it works out for you. She's beautiful. Your Zoo is getting bigger as we speak.

congrats!!! beautiful!!

 

[terracolson]

Yes my Zoo is getting bigger, but I have decided to adopt out my box turtles. I Dont want to get to large and i am learning that i love my veggie eaters better.

She/he is so pretty, I love the "expressions" on their faces.

 

[dmmj]

Awaiting the gender finale shots with baited breath here...

What a pretty tortoise. It will be hard not to keep her if she's a him.

 

[terracolson]

trust me if she is a he, out the door he goes!! I already have a back up person! I cant do it!

I got 2 boys now and one female

and we didnt meet up today... This rain and cold weather is just not idea yet.. The owner wants to wait for clear weather

 

[dmmj]

Sounds like gender discrimination to me.

 

[terracolson]

Yes it is..

And there isnt a tortoise that can file a lawsuit against me

 

[keiraliang]

Where did you adopt the Russian Tortoise?

 

[terracolson]

Its a connection i have with the Local Rescue here

 

[terracolson]

Grace should be called Race..... I am upset, BUT he is amazingly beautiful.... I will keep him. I promised her.... He is eight years old and she is the first owner...so I am sure he will make great babies.....

I need 2 more females now!!!!!
