Nice!
Congrats, but you should have kept her from your other one until you had quarantined for at least three months, to be sure it doesn't have anything to pass on. Anyway, congrats.
Congrats!
Now that I noticed you are a long time member, question for you. Do you normally not quarantine and if so, have you ever had any problems? Just curious, specially russians mostly being WC of her size and age and ware and tear of her shell and reading that they can really have a lot of parasites. Thanks.
Congrats!！!！
You know your right I should have quarantine her first. Stupid me over excited again. I did put some anti-parasitic medication in thier food. Not that it makes it ok.
Totally understandable. It is too exciting to get a new tortoise. I'm sure all will be well.
I have to watch them carefully.
She is pretty! I'm actually enjoying her sell, very plain. Once 'smooths' out a bit (as in, once she grows a bit and some of her dinged up spots clear over) her shell will be absolutely gorgeous.
Congrats!

Thanks everyone!
I usually don't name them. I don't know.
Nice tort and I understand getting to excited and not quarantining I adopted one over the summer and as soon I as I got him home I put him outside with my other one so he got good uv plus access to weeds
Yea somestimes we take risks. When you have an aquarium and buy new fish you just want to throw them in with the rest and watch them.
I know what u mean with the fish I have gotten better about quarantining them after I lost half off my fish In my fifty five gallon tank.
Ened up putting her on her own for a while.
