We have our Sulcata tortoise. I am looking around ideas building an outside encloser. Thank you for the great ideas. I know you do not think Washington State is not a good area to raise them. We love him and will do anything for him. By the way his name is Dexter. You are great and will be watching your videos. My first time raising a tortoise he really a joy to have. He now is nine years old and doing great have a family member that is a vet so he really healthy guy and he is weights 50 lbs. Thank you for all your shared information.

Hi Kenyan I'm from the UK 🇬🇧 And I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your thoroughly enjoyable videos we're currently experiencing an heatwave over here and my Mediterranean spur thighed tortoises which I've had 41 years have been loving it, is never an easy feat looking after them with the normal rapid fluctuations in temperature, but I always do my best, they hibernate from usually November to March, Somthing I learned years ago was never to use Hay as bedding as mould spors can develop, I look forward to watching your next videos and learning new stuff, Keep up the good work.

When I lived in Ohio out in the southern farmland, box turtles would migrate through my yard every year. I would snag a few of them for a few weeks, keep them corralled in my yard in a small area and then after a week or three I'd open it up and they would eventually leave.I would spoil them and feed them while they were there.

I have a 170 pound Sulcata that I'm inheriting soon. I'm in Phoenix, I have purchased a basking heat lamp and thermostat. I'm wondering if I build out of recycled concrete for the walls (I just got some from a neighbor tearing up a driveway), do the spray foam insulation (did you do that yourself?) and then maybe do a roof out of wood and metal roofing material if you think that is a good plan? I only want to build an enclosure once, so I'm also wondering if 4'x5' is big enough? She is 15 and my backyard is 2700 sq ft.

Hey! So I plan on getting 1 or 2 red foot tortoises, now I'm most likely gonna get young ones. I live in SC and I'm wondering if they can last year round, of course coming in during cold fronts. For there young age they will live in a cinder block ring (About 7 ft across) covered In chicken mesh, is this okay? They will of course have a humid hide away, water and food dish, ect. Also should I get them from a online breeder and get them shipped to me or from repticon?

@GregBashawOfficial9 жыл бұрын
Hey I live in Long Island too. I recommend building a enclosure that is big enough to house your tortoise when it's full grown. This way you won't have to worry about building and deconstructing multiple enclosures. Make sure your tortoise has access to your yard in the summer bec the sun is the best source for UV for them. Good luck :)

I live in Ohio and the weather can get pretty unpredictable sometimes so my major concern was with making a place for shade like you had with the barn, but since I don`t have a lot of space I don`t know what to "make" as shelter. I only have one Russian tortoise right now, but will be getting another soon. So the shelter doesn`t have to be that big. Thanks a ton.
