I love that it’s a family affair. Y’all are so involved with keeping/educating/sharing your love for reptiles/animals. Great vid, her new living space looks amazing....is she accepting any roommates?! Lol
Thanks! It definitely makes it easier when we all love all our animals and to be involved. As for a roommate, Agatha’s not accepting applications at this time!
You're doing a great job with your channel great to see more Canadian reptile lovers. I have a small channel b learning from watching my favorite Canadian channels
Great idea. Awesome enclosure!!! I used a kind of worms in the soil against the gnats. They ate the eggs/larvae, it worked. Does your mom still get things done in her office? I would be tempted to pet the tortoise all the time because the access is so easy.... And I rather be 82 in teen than 8 lifelong......which I encounter here often.....but then I try to be 23 in 49, so.....no idea if you know what I mean, but it makes sense to me. Stay healthy and happy.
Thanks Joy! I will look into the worm suggestion, thank you for that! Mom still gets things done, she just spends more time sitting on the floor while Agatha is roaming around, instead of at her desk. And I do get your age thing😂
I love your enclosure, what a great idea. I think I'm going to try that for mine who was outgrowing his tank also. Can I ask where you got the tortoise shell hide ?
Agatha still really likes her new home. I'm sure yours will too! We got that hide along with a bunch of other reptile stuff - enclosures, lights, décor, etc from someone on Kijiji (it's kind like Craigslist if you're not from Canada). Not sure where he got it originally though, sorry.
In the summer they are outside most of the day every day, weather permitting, so it's big enough for a winter home/summer bedroom at their current size, but when full grown they will need something bigger.
@@AllCanadianReptileGirl The setup looks very beautiful :) they actually have more larger versions I just checked its same style but larger :) are you planning to use that version once he/she puts more size?
Very nice! Do the cats go in? We had to go mesh top on Sherman's table because Mazekeen is way too curious and a bit of a hunter to go open top! I'm going to build him something bigger, he's out growing his 4×2 (which many say is larger enough for a Russian Tortoise...not)
Thanks! Occasionally Oscar does jump in but he just sits on her food platform. When we had turtles he used to jump onto their basking platform and lay/sleep under their heat lamp with the turtles. Maybe I should do a video about the turtles…and Oscar…?
@@AllCanadianReptileGirl that's nice to hear! That video topic would be well received, I often see questions about reptiles and cats. Two of ours are strictly observers but Mazekeen appears to be planning a meal (we could be completely wrong but no point risking it). Strictly supervised, close with close security for her...lol
I dont see any of the items in the description did you accidentally forget to put them in there or where can i get that stuff i found the enclosure but not anything else
I had a Russian tortoise that would climb up on his little log hide and jump off. And then walk around climb back up and do it again. Sometimes they're just weird but cute. I suggest surrounding the water bowl with river rocks. Don't have to be very big but enough that she won't drag the dirt into the water nearly as easy.
I have a really cool enrichment idea for yr tort. See you can keep the food dish of your tortoise on a high elevation, by this that little guy/gal will have to climb up everytime she wants to eat. You could also do this with yr water bowl but it could possibly be very messy. Disclaimer : i didn't come up with this idea, i just took it from kamp kenan as he also did so with his giant tortoises(2gallops and 1 aldabra) for their exercise. He made a water bowl which they always had to clumb in order to drink. Btw i really liked that aot reference, although it would've been way cooler if the actual anime was placed there as the movie itself is a total disrespect to it.
I’m a little late to his video, but will this be good for a full grown red foot because Im scared it won’t be this is going to be my first tortoise, and im gonna start with a cement mixer, we live in an apartment now or should I wait until we move into a house 🏠 I really need to know thx ❤️🤍
Depending on how big your redfoot gets, it's possible that this could be big enough, but probably not. I would guess that we'll need to upgrade this enclosure at some point down the road. Thankfully redfoots grow to full size pretty slowly, so this will be good for Agatha for a few years.
I would get a tortoise but they’re extremely expensive and seem somewhat difficult to care for. I think for now I’m gonna stick with turtles and soon lizards

I know right it looks so cool I would totally make it if I weren’t 14 because I kind of have no money
Thanks! It definitely makes it easier when we all love all our animals and to be involved. As for a roommate, Agatha’s not accepting applications at this time!
Thank you! Ah yes, money is always a big factor!
That was fantastic and I'm sure Agatha adores her new digs. Great job, ACRG!
Thank you!
What a great new home! I loved Agatha's death defying dive over the branch - didn't think I'd be watching tortoise parkour this morning 😊
Thank you! I also had no idea tortoises were into parkour!😂
Cheers, just 'bout impossible not to come away from your videos w/o a smile - thank you
Thank you. That's nice of you to say. I'm glad you enjoy my videos!
Nice job on the enclosure! Looks nice!
Thank you!
Those plants look great!
this is really helpful because I was have trouble thinking what my tortoise cage would be like thank you so much.
Glad I could help!
You're doing a great job with your channel great to see more Canadian reptile lovers. I have a small channel b learning from watching my favorite Canadian channels
Thanks for watching! Good luck with your channel👍👍
Now that was one clever idea.
Thanks it worked out really well!
im so jealous that you get tortoises i cant get them hear in Australia
Sorry! That’s too bad, they do make great pets!
@@AllCanadianReptileGirl i know but one good thing is is that australia does have some epic animal☺️
Nice upgrade

Did you use nematodes? That looks to be the other option to combat fungus knats.
Jupp.

Love the upgrade. As informative as ever. The gnat was just some extra protein in your diet.
lol extra protein-thanks for that! 😂
This looks great but it would still be be too small as permanent enclosure right? :) I love the look of it I may have to give it a try :)
In the summer they are outside most of the day every day, weather permitting, so it's big enough for a winter home/summer bedroom at their current size, but when full grown they will need something bigger.

@@rickcroney1286 Yes! Best not to risk it! Oscar is always supervised too. I will give that video topic some thought!
i bought a book about a tortoise. the cashier said "hardback?", i said "yes, little heads too"
😂😂😂👍👍

Well I’m happy to hear that Agatha is not the only weird tortoise out there 😂 Yes, getting more rocks is on the to-do list!
Great video New subscriber

Kamp Kenan is awesome and I love what he does with his reptiles! So many great ideas. Thanks for watching!
@@AllCanadianReptileGirl yeah
So many people have same water dishes

nice! i have a russian tortoise that even tho he is a smoll boi i want to give him a 10 foot enclosure
Love this idea!! You guys are brilliant! Thanks!
You are welcome!
#teamdads 🙌🏻
Sundews are great for the gnats too!
Great suggestion!
@@AllCanadianReptileGirlyes!!! butterworts are good too, but the sundews can also catch bigger insects.
I would get a tortoise but they’re extremely expensive and seem somewhat difficult to care for. I think for now I’m gonna stick with turtles and soon lizards
They are not a cheap pet, that’s for sure! But Agatha’s totally worth the work!
How old was she ?
Agatha just turned 3, so she would have been a little older than 2 when this video was made.
Love Agatha's enclosure.. Leave the gnat eating to a professional. Can you cohabitate a chameleon with her?
That’s a great idea but I’d be very worried about Oscar having no barrier between himself and the chameleon!
@@AllCanadianReptileGirl Forgot about Oscar..
@@alanwisse192 I won’t tell him you said that 😂😂😂
nice! i have a russian tortoise that even tho he is a smoll boi i want to give him a 10 foot enclosure
I’m sure he will absolutely love that!
