[@rosebogard3455]

This enclosure is amazing you guys!! 🎉

[@BenjamintheTortoise]

Jumanji looks so sweet! What a beautiful tort!! So glad you were able to rescue him and provide him with such a wonderful home. Much love to you and all the animals there!! 💕😊

[@jagdeepsinghuppal8310]

This is one gorgeous couple.

[@Debra.Justice]

Chris, you did a great job on the enclosure. That dirt and sand looked much easier to dig in than Tennessee red clay. I’m sure the tortoise is going to be very happy in his new home. Thank you and Gabby for saving him. And I love your dogs. They are adorable. Love to everyone from Tennessee.

[@LavenderLushLuxury]

[@clistiarobinson34]

Good morning Chris and gabby everything is coming along very nicely. You definitely got your cut out for you on building everything but it is all going to be worth it once it's finished. Yall have an amazing weekend

[@FloridasWildest]

Thank you Clistia!

[@southernsam5212]

Wow guys! What a great addition to your animal family. Jumanji looks great. It's an awesome enclosure, curves & all. I think it's a great spacious place with room for a girlfriend someday. Chris is ripped! Bambi cracked me up at least 3 times. He's just so tiny with such a big dog attitude. Love it!

[@ThatOneSammi]

You gave him an amazing home. Im sure he really appreciates the work you put into that. Looks amazing. Thats a lot of space for such a big guy!

[@erinbeepbeep5238]

I love how positive and patient you guys are even when faced with such stress! I am a lifelong vegetarian who has always loved nature and all of our fellow earthlings. You guys are my new favorite KZbin channel!!

[@coltdawg7299]

I heard in order to maintain his physique, Chris has trained the gators to act as weights so he can squat and do bench presses with em.

[@toriam15]

Awesome, so glad Jumanji has such a large area to call home!

[@oogalaboo]

It's a good thing you had Bambi as a supervisor

[@MFoster392]

Looking awesome , great work :-)

[@suemoo22]

Wow that tortoise is huge! And the little black dog is just adorable, I love him. You did a good job building the enclosure.

[@peggygray6071]

I think you did an amazing job building this enclosure for the tortoise. Sometimes, it doesn't go as planned. He is beautiful. Thanks for the video.

[@downingkris7921]

AMAzing video guys!!!!..Chris shirtless?...YES!!! lol

[@nate_got_lost]

Can't explain how happy this makes me man ! Seeing you in your own property and continuing what you love. You've always inspired me even since I was a little kid (20 Now). You're incredible in what you do. Keep building

[@bs1820]

You picked a good role model.

[@jodunn5181]

What a lovely big space you’ve given him. I’m sure he is very happy with you guys. I have 6 Hermanns so I a tortoise mum too xx

[@hausofstructure8705]

I cant imagine how much work y’all have put into this so far and will continue to. Thank you for doing what you do❤

[@MagicMan69171]

Greetings for Madrid !🇪🇸

[@beckyreynolds5285]

Jumanji is so cool! You guys did a great job!

[@andykerr3803]

👁 👁 The physique on that little little black dog! We all know who really dug that ditch... 😊

[@brockn7878]

It is good Tortoise husbandry to put up a visual barrier like you did with the beams. Some tortoises will try and tank their way through whatever fence for the "grass is always greener" food and activities on the other side. Which is bad, either for your fence Or their face... But if they cant See the other side? They never even think about it. Good job ❤

[@lackiesuzy]

Awesome job..way to go Chris and Gabby. Love it 👍👍

[@mystyredz]

Thank you for sharing this experience with us. I hope it will be possible to visit you guys one day.

[@melissajennings5922]

[@redg8677]

[@jazzbo9903]

Hi Chris n Gabby, I love what you two do with animals. I am not rich by any stretch of the imagination but I wanted to contribute to your organization. Where can I make an online donation? Wow, the fence looks good, your property looks great. Jumanji will be happy in his new home. God bless you Chris, Gabby and whomever is helping you. See you later guys.❤❤

[@coriegualtieri4152]

Lil by Lil it'll get there. It's awesome so far...❤

[@Smudgemom2003]

That thumbnail!!!😍😍

[@sarahelmore83]

So awesome!

[@Hoggaforfan]

Worked with one sulcata that really liked some scratches and petting, one of the other workers had as policy not to pet, the tortoise was ramming him all the time so he had to start petting as well. Quite adorable when he came, got some petting and scratches then when he was happy he went away again being a bit careful to not bump into you while otherwise he was/is a bulldozer :-P

[@zjs5029]

I’d do anything to have that body. I mean apart from working out and eating right that is.

[@DeliberatelyBearded]

Looks like he loves his new enclosure

[@93Monstermike]

I have experience in working with a Sulcatta tortoise named Torrie. Jumanji is a great name for your Sulcata.

[@vladfish]

Good job 👍😉

[@AM-rt5eb]

Hercules...Hercules...Hercules....that's from Nutty Professor movie. I think down Florida the ground is very very hard so it's quite an effort. Thanks for the update very cool property

[@unkownperson9250]

bro went full giga chad in the thumbnail 😂

[@cherylb2008]

You all work so hard. You are appreciated. That tortoise weighs??? Jumanji is a cute name Funny how dogs enjoy following the truck rolling away I want the little black chihuahua He is SO cute

[@nobshistoryengineering4421]

Neat video.

[@MaxxPainII]

Awesome

[@anggamokalu6598]

Should make a pond, for drink n for urates

[@lucas.2.3.9.4]

hes a huge sulcata wow!!

[@ThePollaton]

Any excuse for Chris to get his bod out 😂😂😂😂 (nothing wrong with that) Keep up the great work guys as always ❤❤ps I’m sure the tortoise wouldn’t care about straight lines. He’ll be trying to bulldoze his way through anyhoo 😆

[@main_froide]

Chris becomes Charles Ingalls, it's really a lot of work, courage, the end always ends up rewarding the fruit of the work

[@brendapatterson7123]

Very nice enclosure! Lucky tortoise. What are the dimensions?

[@FloridasWildest]

It’s over 50 x 50

[@bayouboys2852]

Does these tortoises capable of having a small pond to drink or lay in as a bath?

[@tiffanyshort119]

The top you have for his house will be like a magnifying glass down in the Florida sun.

[@FloridasWildest]

Correct which is why we explained in the video that it’s only for a day to keep them out of the rain because it’s what we had lying around.

[@GatorLife57]

Good video but could be great with Gabby in it !!! I miss her beautiful smile and her loving on the animals. 👍

[@bryanturner4094]

Who ever ran that machine did a really bad job I wish I was able to help you guys with this I would have made sure this came out correctly! Love you guys you guys are awesome

[@janetjedrzejczyk1903]

❤

[@hyper8545]

👏

[@kelliephoenix]

😊❤️

[@mikebloom6279]

It's to late now but you can apply to the next enclosure. After seeing you add the planter timbers I would have cut the panels in half lengthways double ing your purpose. Therefore you'd never see the metal...2 or 3feet down and you still have to monitor it's digging. You can dig a hole and reinforce it so it doesn't collapse

[@GodIsInTheTv]

I came here for the thumbnail..

[@earthwormjim3269]

Chris is a very fit man (no homo). He has a similar physique to me. Does he do calisthenics?

[@MarioLamRedRebel]

And if you where gay ...... That's no problem. We are all humans and have the same rights and pleasures plus a beautiful human is a beautiful human ( man or by women). Greetings from the Netherlands

[@sugoi9680]

YEE IRL MINECRAFT. GOOD STUFF M8

[@shamrockinit8747]

Kenan has a great spray for his tortoise crew to help with ticks and will you feed him on a tray so he doesn’t ingest sand and get impacted?

[@brandonsearle990]

Black and yellow for the win. Go dewalt

[@ShardsOfNarsil]

I'm not a zoologist or anything but I have a feeling he's going to climb right over that barrier.

[@bensturgis]

What donyoubuse for mosquito control?

[@nicksavage4763]

EVERY SPOT YOU DIG ROOTS ROOTS ROOTS Here in Florida 🍊🌴 DIGGING FOR FENCE REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE ALTERING PLANS ETC. Dont know till you try it LOOKING REAL GOOD Lotta damn work and Very Rewarding 🎉 ITS GONNA BE FINE🐊

[@catatonicgalaxy1471]

not seeing a water whole for him.

[@YochevedDesigns]

I hate to tell you this dude, but a sulcata can easily dig 6 to 8 feet down. You didn't even pour cement around the post holes. Good luck!

[@FloridasWildest]

They theoretically did a lot deeper than that. We will fill holes as we see them, thanks 👍🏻

[@thewayshelovedyou]

[@raybrdjr]

Has anyone ever told you that you resemble Opie from Andy Griffith?

[@LoudMoaner222]

speaking of this 6:10 , i would love to see yalls reactions to some of the crazy things people say to yall! like that yalls alligators are all crocodiles and you should take them back to africa or something 😂 or when people try to tell you the coral snake you saw in the amazon is harmless bc yellow and red arent touching lol maybe like, reacting to the wild things people say type video

[@roberthillyard4234]

[@TeddyCrochet]

I love you guys but the dogs around the truck and bulldozer gave me so much anxiety. Especially Bambi she’s so small and accidents happen so quickly 😢 the part with Bambi running up to the truck at the end was especially hard to watch.
