I like how you explain yourself I've said the same thing about the water. People need to educate themselves before purchasing a tortoise.. everytime I say that people think I'm crazy lol but its common sense to have it clean because they pee in it.

[@ShadowsReptiles]

deadlysin91 yea specially when you have more than one you have to clean it as much as possible 🙌🙌

[@GirMommie20]

@@ShadowsReptiles exactly. You are doing a good job! Your video is really helpful for those that are interested in getting one. Just the other day I found a leopard tortoise on a rescue page it said that it was blind due to improper care. It got a bad eye infection & it never got treated. It's so sad..

[@ShadowsReptiles]

deadlysin91 yea that sucks I have a Hermanns tortoise that has foggy eyes i don’t think she’s blind but they’re gray I got her a couples months ago but other than that she has perfect health

[@GirMommie20]

@@ShadowsReptiles it could be from age. Have you tried putting eye drops on your Hermann tortoise? On chewy . Com they sell repti turtle eye drops.

[@ShadowsReptiles]

deadlysin91 I’ll have to look into it but like I said she’s doing great so I probably won’t mess with it too much unless she shows signs of something out of the normal

I love the food garden!

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Jennifer Hausler haha thanks hopefully I get to plant some more different plants for them soon 🙌🙌

[@jenniferhausler5609]

:) Good luck finding healthy things for them to eat! The benefit of living in FL is all the stuff we can grow!

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Jennifer Hausler I know weather is great here for reptiles and most plants 🙌 thanks again

[@downazzchick210]

Thank you for making these videos. It's hard tio see any reptile with mbs. If I Win my baby would love it here in Texas. Our weather is bipolar lol. We don't get winter until November possibly December.

[@84themosthigh]

Good video bro

[@jon3816]

Any specific recommendations for the California people ? Need some advice . I’m planning on getting one soon!

[@EastCoastFinz06]

Awesome looks great I am Gonna start breeding crested geckos in a couple weeks

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Reptile King awesome 🙌🙌

[@Momosmom]

We have a hatchling. Do we need more than one or are they ok by themselves? I’ve seen varied opinions.

[@Frank1joker]

Nice!👍😁

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Frank Dominguez thanks 😁

[@work4it384]

What do they eat if mine is a month old or 2 tops what do I feed him

[@definitionxmk]

Where did you get that metal mesh top for the hatchlings?

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Project Definition homedepot sell some I had to cut it this was from a bigger cage I built that I had left over

[@user-ie6tw6ps5h]

So how sociable are sulcatas? I’ve heard that other species of turtle recognize you and come to eat and feed out of your hand, do sulcatas do this as well?

[@lovelost5188]

Omg I want your pug 🖤

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Haha I love her too much sorry

[@elisaarias4748]

I have a baby socata tortise and i have. Her in a ten gallón tank its si big and shes small

[@sidramohyuddin25]

I’m getting a Sulcata Tortoise,and a Greek

[@joeboyabalos7329]

i got a sulcata 2.5 inch. is it normal that the lower part of its shell is bendy?

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Joe Boy Abalos the shell doesn’t get hard till 6-12 months of age if your Sulcata is older it can be deficient of calcium

[@joeboyabalos7329]

@@ShadowsReptiles thank you very much.

[@SuperBotanica]

i grind eggshells and sepia shells to powder - own chickens and the beach is not far 😊😊. none of my tortoises eat dry food, neither do my cats and dogs. they all get natural and unprocessed food

[@user-zs7rq1tb4w]

I have a African Salcata what is the best food to feed them. Game and fish told me to feed them romaine lettuce and banana and apple and red cabbage is that right give it to him every day. I need help I rescued him from off the side of the road. Am I doing right?

Hello, here is a link to my care guides that goes over diet and husbandry. I wouldn’t feed them what they told you consistently it is not a healthy diet.

[@ganiyanpauji2784]

Great info! A www Gracie and her black belt lol

Are you in Miami-Dade County?

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Yes I am

[@patrickphippspa584]

@@ShadowsReptiles Thanks buddy! I'm currently binging on your videos like crazy. I'm in Broward and I thank you for your wisdom, experience and persistence in doing so many videos. I just got what I think is a little female Salcata so I'm having to learn quickly. I put her out in my front yard a couple times and these damned large green lizards rushed pretty aggressively, so she stays in my home unless supervised. Her shell is 6" long by 5" wide and I need your pug with the "black belt" to help me keep those predators away. Thanks again my friend! Appreciate you and your whole family! My best to you all. Hope to meet you someday!
