Hey buddy, I have a question, I too own a snapping turtle and he's hand raised and completely tame. My question is, what can you give him if he's constipated? Mine hasn't used the bathroom in days. Any help would be appreciated, thank you sir

[@ymeyers6225]

I had never heard of Pancake Tortoises before your channel. But now they’re easily my favorite tortoise species!

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Glad you like them!

[@paillette2010]

Once I helped a turtle/tortoise across the street in the scablands of WA. He/she peed on me, but I felt better about seeing it off the road. It was spring, so lots of little ponds. That’s the extent of my turtle experience. Love your channel

[@staceyroberts3468]

So glad we got to see Otis 😆😆. I just love that turtle!!!!!!!

[@JosephsJungle8]

I got a 1 yr old Greek tortoise today for Christmas 🎄🐢

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Congrats!

[@julierobertson148]

WOW! Chief Brody just inhaled that trout filet! If he keeps eating like that, he should be in great shape to over-winter outdoors next year. Thanks for caring for so many special needs animals.

[@GardenStateTortoise]

For sure! Thank you 🙏🏻

[@SnapperCorral-dc1xf]

Amazing dedication to animals. They depend on you 100 percent every day.

[@thedirtprincess3293]

Awesome video! 1-Casey's glee when you had to go in that water!😂 2- seeing the pancakes "stacked" is the first time i actually registered where they got their name. 3- watching you handle Rocky and Blue make me realize that neither a litter of 13 Rottie puppies, nor managing cattle, is actually challenging. Big chops to you for the patience and love you give these critters that most of us will never get to see or touch. ❤

[@GardenStateTortoise]

🤣🤣🤣 that was great, thank you!

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

I love seeing the Fly River Turtles…that face! And since I have lived around snappers most of my life, I really enjoying seeing them. Otis is a big boy!

[@danielbrown1724]

Pancake Tortoise like "dude, I was sleeping in there, please put me down" Love the extra care and love that goes into each one of these little guys. No "Turtle" gets left unturned, so to speak Awesome video again GST

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Hahaha totally, thank you!

[@wildcreatureswny]

Glad to see everyone is doing well! Always love seeing the Pancake Tortoises and their amazing enclosure! We have a yearling CB Pancake Tortoise that is just so personable and amazing! Her name is Betty Hotcakes lol. As always thanks for the amazing and educational content. Keep up the great work you guys! 🐢

[@thedirtprincess3293]

What a great name!

[@wildcreatureswny]

@@thedirtprincess3293 thank you! Expecting to get another one sometime this coming year! Cool little tortoises!

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Betty Hotcakes…best name ever!

[@wildcreatureswny]

@@GardenStateTortoisethanks!😂 We hope Casey, you and the girls have a great holiday!

[@CindyHuot]

[@GardenStateTortoise]

That made our day, thank you so much and same to you!!

[@lydia272]

16:35 those Fly River Turtles look like seals. Anyone else agree?

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Totally! Or manatees 😳

[@ashtonjones5768]

All of the animals are looking awesome you guys really do a fantastic job with them. Merry Christmas to you and your family I can't wait to see what adventures you are going to take us on next year.😀

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Thank you! You too!

[@IntrepidFraidyCat]

8:17 I love the pattern on their shells...looks like a sun! But I wouldn't drag one out of its little turtle home. I hope the species will recover. I loved the bloopers...completely lost it when the goat started laughing at you. 😂

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Hahaha glad you enjoyed it!

[@GatorMike79]

Pancake tortoises are my all-time favorite tortoise. Such a unique species

[@GardenStateTortoise]

So true!

[@jenpink4298]

This video was so much fun! Thank you for all you do and for all of the extra work that you guys put into filming things to share with us! Wishing you and your loved ones a very very happy holiday season!❤🎄🍌

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Thank you and same to you!

[@k.6160]

Merry Christmas 🎁! Thanks for all you do to care for these wonderful creatures!🐢🦎. I love the rhono iguanas. They look just like Godzilla 😂. Brody just sucked in that fish! Wow!

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Thank you and same to you!

[@rememberpupu]

I'm really sorry to hear that your dog was attacked. I hope you and your dog can stay safe and well in the future.

[@angicatron8512]

Praying that you and your family have a very merry Christmas and blessed new year ❤❤❤❤

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Same to you!

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

An enclosure with pancake tortoises _and_ uros?! That is freaking super cool. Two awesome pet species

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Thanks!

[@Ninang363]

The Pancake tortoises are one of my favorite species. Had an opportunity to be involved in the care of a number of them in the mid 1980s. I currently have a couple of redfoots and a cherry head, but I must admit, these are my favorite

[@GardenStateTortoise]

That’s awesome thanks for sharing.

[@tamarrajames3590]

Great to watch you having a normal day in winter. One of the best jobs ever. They all look great and healthy, and Otis looked just a little grumpy to not be the big star…hilarious.🖤🇨🇦

[@GardenStateTortoise]

🤣🐢 thank you!

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

So cool to learn about the pancakes and see them on the channel again. The life of a pancake tortoise must be wild. It's so alien and hard for me to imagine.

[@GardenStateTortoise]

It really is wild. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tracym6297]

That scream when you went back in for the GoPro. 😂 m I'm so over this cold weather. I'm so glad we don't get snow. Not that it hasn't been cold enough for it. Stay warm, you two!

[@bkm2797]

All is well at Garden State Tortoise, Thank you for taking us along and Merry Christmas Eve🎄👍❤️!

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Same to you!

[@avery05]

Awesome video! I love these videos where you guys do a lot of different things around the property. Thank you guys for making such great videos! Merry Christmas 🎄 🐢 🦎

[@wendyloughery]

Happy holidays to your whole family, I love all the turtles you guy's take in and help ,I think where they would they be without you guys. Thanks for sharing awesome video

[@GardenStateTortoise]

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Thank you so so much!

[@jenniferbranch4613]

You are living my dream! I’d love to be able to do what you do. I’m so glad your channel was in my suggestion list!

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Thank you!

Merry Christmas Chris, Casey and family. Great video. Thank you. ❤🎄🎅🏻

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Our pleasure! Same to you!

[@GregsTurtleHaven]

Those thick shelled clams are my snappers favorite! I also leave the broken shells in the pond and the other turtles will gnaw on them for calcium

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Thanks to you I now know this 🙌🏻

[@Heliopteryx]

6:41 I have a Hermann's tortoise and my mom remarked that she never saw him drink water, he just sits in it. I said "oh, he is drinking the water. . . but from the other end!"

[@noone1929]

Ah yes the pancake tortoise, the species I picked for Donnie in my old Ninja Turtle AU :P

[@GardenStateTortoise]

🤣

[@Sequoyah_7]

Another great video. You and your family have an Merry Christmas and an Amazing New Year❤️🎄

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Thank you! You too!

[@carschmn]

16:07 banana! 17:06 Skittle is not impressed

[@PapillonOne]

Loved seeing Otis watching yoh feed Brody!! Do you breed some reptiles to provide to zoos & ensure their surival?

[@noelle7760]

Indominus Jim living up to the Indominus name!

[@GardenStateTortoise]

🤣🤣👍🏻

[@lauralafauve5520]

Love this! Thank you!

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mary-de5kw]

Otis is so cute!😊

[@WadeMoore-o4v]

Turtle and tortoise 🐢 😍

[@bethannyallain5395]

Are yoy sure Chief Brody doesn't have a vacuum inside him.? The way he sucked that fish fillet down really surprized me. Glad he is gaining weight. Otis would love to steal the spotlight every time.

[@caughtafaygo]

Casey so talented with the merch. I need one!

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Thank you!

[@phionella7]

Will the shell of the pancake tortoise heal any more than it has, or will it always have that scar? Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@GardenStateTortoise]

That’s pretty much it for her but she’s solid! Thank you same to you.

[@gibbnasta]

Best beginning you've done yet! 😂

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Glad you think so!

[@Lisa-qy3bp]

😮 she’s a very lucky tort ❤

[@MFoster392]

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Are there certain animals that hunt these, hence why they pump up and lock themselves between the rocks or is it protection from humans

[@erikadowdy2382]

The Iguanas chose Violence on this day😂😂😂

[@GardenStateTortoise]

🤣🤣 always

[@Knikkinakki]

Great vid love how you share your knowledge and your comedy moments but please can we have the music a bit quieter so we can hear you too? Happy chrimbo to all 🐢🎉❤

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Thank you!!

[@iknownothing-49]

How often does Chief Brody eat? I noticed the trout was over $9 per pound.

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Twice weekly…def not cheap!

[@safranpollen]

Merry Christmas from black forest :-)

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Same to you!

[@JoshuaDaley-x5m]

I love these Pancakes ❤

[@nutmeg5]

Love the appropriate North African music!

[@ripper28287]

Hi can you tell some small tortoises which are easily available in pet stores?

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Pet stores are not a place to get tortoises. Go to breeders directly.

[@petrabanach1875]

I am super curious: If Pancake Torts love to climb but are so flat, how can tjey flip over, when they land on their back (what can happen when they reach for the sky by climbing)

[@kimberlyhendricks1229]

Happy Holiday Guys!

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Right back at ya!

[@peepercoco]

Great video. I couldn't find the Chief Brody shirt. Are they all sold out?

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Whoops! Sorry about that! Here’s the link: www.bonfire.com/youre-gonna-need-a-bigger-boat/

[@shaunaclark9479]

Do you soak them once a week or once a month?

[@TravellingTortuga]

How do you introduce live plants or cleaner fish to an aquatic turtle, without them immediately eating them? I can never get them to last beyond a week. I have 2 Sawback Turtles.

[@GardenStateTortoise]

You’d need to run an established aquatic set up with mature plants and fish long before you add turtles and it would need to be a large environment.

[@AuroraMeansDawn27]

SO CUTE

[@GardenStateTortoise]

🐢❤️

[@spiercephotography]

Why would someone want to grab them AND destroy the habitat of the pancake tortoises? that's so sad! us humans are so weird sometimes. They're fascinating to watch. All of them seem to have their own personalities too. Merry Christmas!

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Because they’re so unique and endangered, they’re worth a lot on the black market. Very sad.

[@spiercephotography]

Oh man, that is really sad :( @@GardenStateTortoise Some people I'll never understand!

[@darrenwalker2365]

That's cool you guys used my name skittles

[@GardenStateTortoise]

🙌🏻

[@reptiqueen7275]

Since they don't have the threats of predators, would it be easier to make the rock crevices a few inches bigger so they can't wedge themselves in? Not enough to make them feel unsafe, but just enough to make health checks easier.

[@amandamusic5746]

The redfoots want bananas for Christmas

[@GardenStateTortoise]

🤣

[@Banjaman-hj5jd]

Ye the water do get gross even if its just one tortoise (Hermann name thalia)

[@robinheater1817]

OTIS!!!! ❤

[@GardenStateTortoise]

🙌🏻

[@evonnewhalen9794]

Safety glasses needed lol

[@ZEKEICHI-01]

i have tegus and when i want to feed them they want to eat me 😆

[@GardenStateTortoise]

🤣🤣

[@tlafleur8433]

I suggest an extra long latex glove for your dominant arm.

[@sarahshallcross-willis9008]

LOVE your channel, but please turn down the music as it drowns out his voice

[@YochevedDesigns]

It blows me away that they can breathe and drink through their butts!

[@GardenStateTortoise]

Crazy right?!

[@bonnie6569]

I love what you do. But man your life would be so much easier down south! Have you ever thought of moving?
