Heatwave Rocks Garden State Tortoise

[@sharondickinson3837]

Seeing the radiated tortoises stand-up like that, wow, amazing! All three standing to attention, at the same time, I am in awe. Thanks.

[@jerseycat7380]

I imagined them saying "Now spray water on my bottom shell!"

[@Danika_Nadzan]

I thought the same thing, Sharon! They really looked like they were enjoying the shower!

[@Bulldog2108]

My favourite type of videos you guys make are good old fashioned "let's just see what everyone's up to to" I'd love just tours and check up videos. Easy to film and people love them. I feelike we've never had a proper hood luck and both the new aquascape builds. Great video. You guys as I've said before are made to be on camera.. cheers 🍻

[@BorghBorgh]

It's always fun to see the transition between "yay its warm, lets go run around" and "oh god its sweltering, lets hide" that my guys (eastern Hermanns) go through at about 80-90F

[@lindad1195]

That’s so cool when you started hosing down the big tortoises and they stood really high up on their legs!

[@susankelemen9764]

I live in SJ a bit north of you near Philly. My Redfoot, Mr T, has been knocking on the courtyard door( his habitat of 30 years) to come in to the AC . He's loving the cool, dark laundry room in this unyielding heat. Just weighed him last week, 18 3/4! Big boy!

[@johnobrien8542]

I am up here on the east side of Southern New Hampshire and this area is in severe drought and a week long heatwave. All my torts are doing very well. Thank you for another educational and fun video .

[@tamarrajames3590]

I have to say, I love tortoise faces. You have so many really beautiful creatures in your care, and it is wonderful to see how well you care for their needs. I particularly enjoyed watching the radiated tortoise group standing on tiptoes to appreciate the rain shower you made for them.🖤🇨🇦

[@mell.2144]

Thanks for taking such great care of all those amazing turtles Chris & fam!!! 🐢 I know they are so glad to have you checking up on all of them!!! 💯

[@ArmyForTheAnimals]

It's almost a sure thing it will rain after you already hose everything down and fill everything up! 😂🐢

What an awesome video! Your setups are amazing 🤩 I loved when you spoke of Mickey he nodded yes lol🤣 Thank you for your informative videos, it is very much appreciated especially by a newbie like me!

Hello how are you doing?

[@sheilamore3261]

Oh my goodness this is hilarious I have never seen turtle stand up on their legs like that to get wet and cool off that is awesome they are some awesome looking turtles🥰💕💕💕

[@paperdoll1982]

Those radiated tortoises standing up was so neat and funny.

Rather enjoy seeing people who are really dedicated to the health and happiness of their animals....

[@lorrainebarnes4633]

I learn so much watching your videos. Amazing

[@hillarymack8287]

Loved this video. Never saw a tortoise stand up so tall. Amazing

[@pdmullgirl]

I live in Utah. This heat and no rain has got to come to an end eventually. Scary. ❤️💜💚

[@cdd4248]

I live in New Mexico and feel your pain!

[@pdmullgirl]

Yes it’s sad and a bit scary. We are in water restrictions. No watering your lawns or gardens except twice a week. So about thirty minutes to an hour of watering per week. That’s just not enough. And forget about washing your vehicle or things like that. I worry about all the wildlife. I leave out water for the animals. I have eight bowls of water around my property for all the wildlife. The birds certainly seem to appreciate it. And some of our vacation sites/lakes are so low. Lake Powell looks awful. It’s scary to me. This drought has gone on for several years now. I just keep thinking it has to come to an end at some point. And idk if you have folks in NM like here but, there are some who water in the middle of the day!! When half of it is being evaporated!! Crazy. I just hope we have a wet winter. ❤️💜💚

[@cdd4248]

@@pdmullgirl I worry about the wildlife and keep thinking (praying) some day it will rain. Good Luck to you and I will send all of the good Rain Vibes I can muster- Thank you for caring about the animals!

That’s how it is here in Texas about every single day one time it felt like 112 degrees Fahrenheit

[@toniajeen]

It's great that you're able to provide water for them.

You have made such lovely homes for all of your critters! This was a very informational video. PS- YAY for the Rain!

[@mikedurhan9941]

Delightful. Interesting. Educational. Thanks.

[@regor8189]

I just want to say I love what you do and would be a dream for me to visit there. I work outdoors in Louisiana and I find SO many spices of turtles down here. Also I would love to know how you got were you are with everything.

[@gfitz6001]

Which spices do turtles have?

[@regor8189]

@@gfitz6001 Red sliders, Mississippi map, yellow-bellies, Eastern, three toe and one gulf coast box turtle, common and alligator snapping turtles

[@ncisfan78]

I’m in West Monroe myself. Saw a lot of turtles in the late spring but now with the lack of rain here, I swear I’m not seeing as many. And I’m so sick of the high temps. Our grass is brown I swear. I think I’m to the point of welcoming a tropical depression right now. No crazy wind and major flooding, just a nice rain. It is pretty bad when I want that to end this no rain. We have had some summer evening storms come up but even those are sparse right now

[@regor8189]

Great video, I have been spraying down my Eastern's pen because it's really hot up north of you as well. Stay cool and enjoy your Sunday.

Thanks for the video, I just love all the tortoise’s! I don’t think I’ve seen the radiated’s stand up like that, only the Aldabra’s at Florida Iguana & Tortoise…Sam’s big boys and girls

[@absolutedeath_666]

Thank you for saving turtles

[@Mist3rChing]

Guys! Fantastic video at a point when we needed it all. Its been hitting blazing point around the world. However, I have a question. Im keeping all of my reptiles indoors and during the summer here in Japan, its always around 29-36 degrees even indoors. So I usually keep the UVB on throughout the day but I have my basking/heated light on for 6.45-7.15am and its turned off for the rest of the day. Someone advised me not to turn the basking light off even if its closer to 40 degrees celsius. Im pretty much im right. What do you think?

[@jimcostantino6244]

Jersey shore when I water the garden I water the tortoises and turtles ! They love it

[@torquess454]

Those Radiated all standing tall, cute!

[@embracenreborns6997]

Another awesome educational video thanks so much for bringing awareness about tortoises and turtles and care during different seasons can we get another video on update of my favorite tortoise species the Egyptian tortoise 🐢 how they are doing in the new enclosure as well as your older ones. How often and how long do you keep the various lights on them. I just want to educate myself thoroughly before I invest in a pair. Thanks in advance 👀💚🐢🐢🐢🐢

its 97 in Trenton now. I keep making sure the snapping turtle eggs laid in my yard stay shaded and moist

Can I guess what’s going in the tank at the end? Maybe a Fly River turtle? 🐢

What kind of grasses were those ? The tortoises were hiding under?.

How is Otis ??🫣

[@richardkeller4234]

Is your water clorinated ? i always wondered if that mattered. Also, is the water room temp or cooler?

I see in degrees Celsius and on the spot could not appreciate Fahrenheit

[@peep39]

some shade over their watering spots would help

[@erikm8372]

Btw, what is the name of the tall bunching grass you use in a lot of the enclosures? If you know. Thx! I was thinking it had to be either a penisetum or stipa, of some sort. No idea

[@erikm8372]

It did resemble lemongrass when I first saw this.

[@ryanosborne4943]

Can anyone help me? I noticed a frog in the turtle enclosure, sounds like a dumb question but are frogs OK to be housed with tortoises? My tortoise has a pond but frogs also love to share it? They don't bother eachother at all.

[@jessicagislason4855]

Should be fine, toads are poisonous and can kill a turtle but frogs should be safe

Isn’t there a way to force Mother Nature to make rain? I seen in before when a plane throws something into the sky?

@2:41 There's actually belief tht turtles don't need water? Who is this group of people and how do we deny those people water?

[@jessicagislason4855]

It's a weird belief prairie and desert animals can get all their liquids from food🙄 I have a prairie dog which has a similar belief, of course "shockingly" she does infact love a cool water bottle, I'm convinced some people are just to lazy and ignorant to care for animals

I forget the name, but I think there’s an African species that dies after drinking too much water

They must do better than pet/captive mammals or birds!!
