    Chris! I am a turtle geek even though I don't own any anymore. I did know all the different turtles that you showed us today.
    I've seen them in zoos and on my travels. When I was in Guatemala Honduras Central America there were some South American species that had migrated there. I do not remember the species names. My question is what were those tiny baby albino looking turtles in the beginning thumbnail of the video. Thanks again Chris for bringing us some turtles that blow our mind 🤯❤

    If you ever get the opportunity it would be great to see the European Mauremys (M. leprosa and M. rivulata), they seem to get passed over in favor of more colorful species but are interesting in their own right.

    awesome animals! As for a suggestion on turtles/tortoises to make a video about, I personally Would love to hear about the tortoise species that are extremely rare to nonexistent in herpetoculture like the Padlopers, Geometric/Tent Tortoises, Angulated Tortoises, and the two lesser known Gopherus species G. flavomarginatus and G. evgoodei! There is very little media about these species, and only a handful of these species can be found in captivity, like Angulated tortoises and padlopers are kept in a few zoos in Europe to my knowledge.

    • @GardenStateTortoise
      @GardenStateTortoise  4 дня назад

      Elongated Tortoises are generally docile and can often be kept with similar species like red foots, though it's always best to supervise any interaction between different species!

      Not at all. In healthy collections it’s unnecessary and in more than 35 years I’ve never done it.
