Moving the Turtles to Their New Ponds!

In this video, I move the turtles from the old pond to the brand new ponds I dug for them. They didn't mind the trip and seemed to like their new ponds. At the end, I feed my pet alligator gar which I put in the ponds last week. Thanks for watching!!

[@onespicyboi754]

Pancake is a great name! You could also call him Jack for short, like a flap-jack

Yes, Jack is better!

Big flat rocks by the bank. A couple floating islands in the water would do wonders.

All of the turtles I saw in this video are females ( you can tell because the bottom shell is flat, and none of them have the longer front claws that males have, plus males would be no larger than Mini Melon, male RES turtles are about 1/2 the size of same age females)... interesting! Also, you need to put some basking logs/boards out for them. They don't feel as safe if they bask on the shoreline.

[@TexasMom1776]

All his turtles are female aside from Melon and Mini Melon. Males also tend develop some form of melanism as they age.

[@_Chessa_]

I love the name pancake for that flat turtle. I’m worried about raccoons because there is not much floating plants for resting wood for the turtles to rest upon. Might need to invest or just grab some lake plant floaters and some stone or wood, cause the turtles are very easy prey when they rest in the land shallows/sand out of the water.

[@gregs605]

Glad to see someone else mention this. He needs some logs/planks they can lay out on. Maybe a custom turtle platform thats anchored out a bit from the shore, and easy for them to get on.

[@boarbot7829]

Can we have some backstory on the ponds- (who owns them, when did you first visit, q&a etc

[@fishboy242]

The old pond is a neighborhood retention pond where I had been feeding fish for over 10 years. Then, I bought a property and had the new ponds dug on it.

Can turtles recognise people? Are they like yay he’s back.

I'd say yes they can because I know that my turtles are comfortable around me and they're not scared of me and can be feed from the hand and sometimes I can even pet them a little bit. They're not so happy though around people that are not part of our family which I think is the evidence that they recognise people.

this guy hand-fed a duck what a legend

[@Kaemea]

My younger brother had a wood duck bond to him after its egg was abandoned. Bro found it quickly enough to incubate it and, when it hatched he was there. Sweet little guy would come running when he heard my brother, if Bro would call for him, even when his truck would pull in the driveway. Eventually the duck grew up and mated and has since left my brother's pond. But it was so sweet how much that duck adored my brother.

[@Goatvarro]

@@Kaemea wow thats crazy the duck associated the truck with your brother!

[@notadumbblond3]

Could you grab some of the vegetation there and move it to the new ones? All due respect, I think we're all a little concerned the fish and turtles need more shade, or hidey spots. Maybe why the ducks left? Not cracking on you, just want to see this succeed and all the critters thrive.

[@Paige-Turnner]

My thoughts exactly. Turtles, especially the babies need places to hide. I appreciate what he's doing but wish he'd let it happen more naturally.

[@NerdyPanDaDaDa]

I agree. I keep hoping he'll add more plants, rocks, or at least a platform. Hopefully it will happen soon.

[@hello9349]

Have you ever considered maybe getting a GoPro or some sort of small recording device to mount to your head and/or chest to utilize your two hands to make your job easier? I think it would be a good investment for your animals and for you 👍🙌❤ just a suggestion😁 Edit: I just watched some older videos and saw that he did use something of that sort, so now my question is why doesnt he do it when hes doing all these actions like moving fish, etc, wouldnt that would be easier with a GoPro or something?

You aren’t worried about those little guys out there with hardly (if really any) structures and big aquatic plants for shelter in the new ponds?
