    The radiated tortoises are gorgeous. The lemur was beautiful but I feel that she will do better in the larger facility. The baby Galapagos are absolutely adorable as are the big guys. So sweet. Really nice man who really cares about his animals.

      Was very puzzled by the lemur too. Guy very sensible (and successful!) with the endangered tortoises; but starts a rant about 'Big Bureaucrazy' crushing `The Dream` then proceeds in giving all the reasons why these lemurs should be under a single globally-organized programme, to stand a sliver of a less-inbred survival chance as a species. I understand the business case (`turnstyle animal`) but some ringtailed lemurs will do for that.

    This reminded me of when I was young and we had our trio of California Desert Tortoises (they are endangered, but can be kept legally with a permit, which we did have). We had a big enclosed planter that we set up for them outside with shelters and hides. We didn't give them heat, as they are native to our region (and thus the ambient climate) and were allowed to brumate naturally overwinter in the burrows they dug, but we tried to recreate a habitat for them. They were much beloved by me and all my siblings. ❤

      Idk, I've had dealings with primates and I could not find a zoo that would ever take them (even a ring-tailed lemur). My area zoo had to quarantine the ape that they obtained for a single gibbon, for quite a while. They have reasons why they don't accept animals from unknown sources. All the primates end up in sanctuaries (if lucky). Primarily primates in TX was one of the ones I used, but I heard that they had issues. As long as the apes and monkeys are okay, I didn't care about the funding or where it was going.

    Nice to see people stay with their passion. When I was a kid in the 60ies and 70ies I was an avid collector of reptiles and amphibians of Pennsylvania near Philadelphia. Whenever I was asked what I wanted to be the reply was a herpetologist and nobody new what that was. I was a accused of being a little strange had no idea so many people had this passion. Wish the internet existed than and you guys are the best for sticking with your passion into adulthood.

    14:30, this is why young tortoises that can brumate naturally are able to brumate. Russian tortoise eggs laid in spring may hatch in fall but the hatchlings emerge later next spring(the same can be said for the summer eggs laid after estivation). This is just anecdotal evidence and logic I pieced together, but someone should definitely confirm this with an experiment and make it known in the temperate tortoise community!
