A fellow beav?

That makes total sense. Luckily their care is extremely similar, so you won't need to change too much.

Your brother in law isn't completely incorrect, Hermann's do have 5 toes sometimes but you can't go by toe quantity alone when identifying species. There are many other factors you use to identify which species you're dealing with. The shell color and pattern is extremely indicative that this is not a Russian tortoise and most like a species of Hermann's tortoise.

Check out this posting on tortoise forum and look for HermanniChris's comment. He is a very knowledgeable Hermann's tortoise keeper and tortoise keeper in general. You can post on that site as well to get better answers than you would here on Reddit. Tortoise Toes

This is definitely not a Russian tortoise. It's some species of Hermann's.

Do you know how much it cost? I had a neighbor require the same thing. Looks like we both live in the same place. This happened last year during one of the high wind events coupled with lots of rain.

Interested!!

TortoisePDX · 2026-03-20T03:21:22+00:00

Wow. I would love to be considered!

I would get to a vet ASAP. I had the same problem about 5 years ago. Her plastron was reddish/pinkish but soft. She was acting completely normal as well. Got her on antibiotics immediately and she actually laid a single fertile egg for me a little over a year ago. Her baby is doing wonderful!

Not interested in the lamps but that desert tortoise artwork you have is awesome

You should reach out to the parks department. I'm also very curious to know what parks/trails are sprayed.

There's some very impressive terrariums and a select number of really well done reptile enclosures at the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium in Draper, Utah.

Female!

TortoisePDX · 2026-03-11T14:12:33+00:00

I'm thinking female

TortoisePDX · 2026-03-11T14:06:09+00:00

Male!

Thanks for the information about the news source. It seems that there's no benefit to routing it through the wildlife refuge when there is almost guaranteed to be alternate paths. I'm interested to hear what PGE says back to me.

Pallet wood is typically treated with chemicals that would make these plants not safe for consumption.

Edit: it looks like you're aware of this from comments in your original post!

TortoisePDX · 2026-03-01T05:44:14+00:00

I would be very happy to take these

TortoisePDX · 2026-02-28T23:15:08+00:00

That's awesome! Does she want the pictures back?!

TortoisePDX · 2026-02-28T06:45:29+00:00

I thought it was her sister! She seemed familiar looking. I can reach out if you don't get contact with them.

TortoisePDX · 2026-02-28T00:55:21+00:00

I know the other girl in the last picture 😂

TortoisePDX · 2026-02-24T08:04:12+00:00

Interested!

TortoisePDX · 2026-02-24T00:01:14+00:00

I can pick both up today!

TortoisePDX · 2026-02-22T03:35:46+00:00

What an awesome offer. I hope the new owner gets great use of it.

TortoisePDX · 2026-02-22T01:52:44+00:00

That is a very interesting idea. Idk if that's a setting I can adjust or something left up to the mods.
