a 200 gallon tank with the following inside:

2 Russian Tortoises
1 Yellow Foot Tortoise(10 inches)
1 Red Foot Tortoise(8 inches)
1 Sulcataa(super pryamided and about 7 inches)
1 Eastern Box Turtle(6 incher)
1 Small redfoot about 4 inches
2 RED EAR SLIDERS!!!!!!!!!

It is horrible. They never clean the setup! There is feces everywhere! Tortoise crawl through theirs and other pecies feces all the time. Besides thast, they feed them very little romaine and thy leave a bowl of repto-min in there for them. I'll get pictures of the grotesque setup and show them to those who can bare to see. My question is, I wouldn't mind saving the russians(even though they are $125 each) but would they be ok or would they die from exposure to the other tortoise species? The red and yellow foots are obviously wild caught as well as the russians. I thnk the sulcata is a cb animal but is is in such rough shape who would know!
