Is a Russian or Lepard Tortoise easier to take care of how big do each get? Which is more personable? Thanks for all the help in my hunt to be a good mama to a tortoise

The russian is by far the more fun of the two.

Where can I find a good breeder for Russian tortoises? How big do they grow? Thanks for all the help Can people post some pictures of their Russian tortoises? Thank so much everyone.

Due to the rules of the list this needs to go private for more information.

I saw your "illegal" post on the Box Turtle forum. I didn't think these were moderated so strictly. Nice comeback though. Brooks

normally these lists (KS) are quite liberal but I get the feeling that I rub certain people the wrong way which seems to elicit an over reactive response on occasion.
Hey, it's understandable.
Ed

You rub people the wrong way? Can't believe it. Seriously, though, you know how I feel about the whole thing. If people don't like what you say, they can call it crap and be done with it, but this banning and censorship stuff is childish (not to mention totalitarian).

Although, come to think of it, I haven't actually read what you wrote, so maybe I shouldn't be saying anything. Whoops.

I read what he wrote, Sohni. He said that he worships Adolph Hitler, believes in selling babies into slavery, thinks the elderly should be forced to work under the whip for no pay in coal mines, and that the USA should surrender immediately to Iraq and beg forgiveness.

You know, the usual. Other than that, he didn't say a word that was offensive.

The rules are quite explicit on this list for good reason. Technically, I did break the rules but not really.
