I can't even get Terry to make a caresheet for us! Cat, I think you got embroiled in an argument that ran away from you. Terry and EJ and many others know what they are talking about, and it seems that you feel you know better than they. If your tortoises "apppear to be fine, then I guess it must be fine" seems to be your attitude, instead of learning what each species needs and using advice of people with experience to create two separate correct enclosures for each species. Erosa is a forest-dweller and thus, I believe likes low lighting and humid climates. The Russians are grassland tortoises from Europe, totally different. Aside from the fact that you did not quarrantine, mixing species can be a nightmare and organisms that one tortoise harbors can kill the other. Instead of making a website and thus duplicating the already good websites that are out there, why don't you do some research on the websites that are out there and that are good, and learn, and then try to fix your tortoises' situation. When you know enough on your own, then start helping people if you want to do something.
