Wow, that enclosure is superb, and your additions are so thoughtful of the animals' needs - and of the viewers', from an esthetic sense. You have a real gift for 'furnishing' their homes. I hope your sweet snake and the gorgeous turtle family will live happily ever after in their little slice of the pine barrens.

Thank you for sharing your friends with us and being a guardian of turtles..and various other animal friends! As a South Jersey/pine lands resident I’m looking forward to having some pass through the yard this year. We had a young box turtle spend a large part of the summer in our yard, such a blessing

I love how you waited until dead branches fell off before using them on the enclosure. That's respect for our Mother Terra. Most people would just cut and take depending on their needs, much appreciated Chris. Awesome enclosure btw, the level of detail you guys put into making it looking feel like a natural habitat is unmatched. Cheers, DB

Chris, you are a legend! Getting those snapping turtles out of that pond was epic! Making us wait until next week - not so much. Huge thanks to Toad Ranch for hooking you up with such an amazing habitat. But let's be real - they only gave you the skeleton. You're the one who filled the cage in and made it a home for those 2 beautiful species to co-hab. Those tiny turtles are adorable! Thank you for showing us what's possible!🎉🐢 🎉 🐍 🎉

Spectacular enclosure-every detail is ‘spot on’! I’m with you Chris, I’d love to live there, too! Best of all, I learned something today-I had no idea that there were American spotted turtles! A wee blast from the past-I couldn’t help but think about the eponymous Sopranos episode that took place in the Pine Barrens. That was my intro to that part of NJ.

My female box turtle is acting weird( wondering around aimlessly) now that it’s April the beginning of breeding season. Is there anything I need to do? Do I need to deliver to a box turtle conservation place to be breed and let them keep the eggs. Because I still want to keep my pet box turtle. I take very well care of her.
