Found this little guy or gal in the backyard; I suspect it hatched last year.

Are you planning on letting him/her go on in the wild as it had the past year? Or are you planning on keeping it as a pet? He/she is one cute baby!

LOL ... I don't think this is a native CDT. I think it's a baby Russian tortoise, and offspring from his own captive, exotic colony.

Yes it is indeed a Russian baby... i can ask an army buddy deploying to afghanistan to release it into the wild. lol.

That's not what I meant...not "wild" like in the real wild. I meant, it was surviving on its own for a year, yes? Well, it was living as if it were in the wild, that all i meant. So, i guess you're gonna keep him, that's all you had to say.

sibi, I knew what you meant when I read it. Basically, wondering if the OP will let the little one live outside in the pen like it has been this past year OR if he'll be set up with an indoor enclosure, right?

Keep him or sell him?

 

[sibi]

Exactly!!! Now, why is it that you could understand what I meant? Thanks.

I apologize I didn't mean to sound like a jerk..I am not sure if I'm keeping it.. But being as awesome as he/she is... I just might.

Ah, that is a good question. I guess I wonder about that, too.

Tortuga, so you think you might keep him, right? Are all your tortoises free-ranging? If so, is this baby going remain free-ranging?

It's lucky you found it. So cute.

Yes my trio has full range of the backyard (my yard is secure; cinderblock fence all around). I probaly feed them once a week..they graze on the weeds and these tiny flowers;They are brick heavy too. I suspect their are atleast 2 more..since one female is proven. If I keep him/her I'm gonna wait until its atleast 5 inches to let it join the trio.

Years ago, one of my russians went feral for a year. Found heron the top pasture the following summer grazing away. I think the reason she made it was we had a colder, less rainy winter that year.
Best part? After a year of being wild, she remembered what it meant when I would show up to the side if the habitat with food.
