I am looking to adopt a female Russian tortoise to balance my little herd. I am an experienced tortoise Momma: we have a male and a female Russian, I am fostering another Russian, and I have a greek tort, too. I grow all my own leafy greens in our garden. The torts get lots of outdoor time in the warm months, and good fresh UVB bulbs in the wintertime. I supplement with TNT and a cuttlebone.
I would prefer healthy, but am OK with some TLC - I have successfully rehabilitated 2 sick torts (males), and am currently fostering another that will hopefully be good to go in about a month.
I have 2 large tortoise tables (3'x6' and 3'x4'), and am building a third right now. I also have all the necessary lights and a quarantine tank (nice and big, 18"x48") for the few months before I'd move the new tort in with the others.
We live in the Portland, OR area, and I am willing to drive a little ways (needs to fit into a 1-day roundtrip). I'd be willing to pay for shipping if the adoption fee isn't too much.
I check our local Craigslist all the time, but haven't had any luck finding a female... everyone has males!
