Thanks again for all you do for the turtles and all the other animals that are lucky enough to call GST home.
Ditto.
My question is what will the fate be for all those Red Eared sliders; is GTS fostering them until adoption? If both sexes are housed together how are they kept from reproducing?
_So many questions…_ 🤔
I think red eared sliders are probably one of the most mistreated turtles because, as you pointed out, people get them without having a clue how big they get or how to care for them. A few years ago I decided to get a turtle, I researched for a couple months and decided on a southern painted. They stay pretty small, he is 2 years old now and about 5 inches. Was a great choice, he is happy and healthy and a lot of fun, very interactive and will take food from my fingers. Thankful there are folks like you to care for these animals.
Southern Painted and the various musk/mud turtles are really the only US species easily maintained indoors. The majority of aquatic turtles grow too large & require immense aquariums with powerful filtration. They’re best suited for keeping in outdoor pond-type situations.
I could have sworn I heard a cockatiel throughout some of your videos!
That's what was sitting on his head through most of this one.
I once found a snapper on the road, now, this girl was 3 feet in diameter, and in a really bad area. I caught her, and put her in my trunk, and took her home.
I then cleaned her up a bit, took photos, measured, and weighed her. She weighed 58 lbs.
Then I took her to a area where I know she would be much safer, and get lots of food, and sun, and water. I got her to the shore, and backed away. She sat there for about 5 minutes, then she turned around facing me, and backed into the water slowly, and watched me watching her. I know she was happy.
I came across your channel through the lovely RUclips algorithm. It's been a fascinating, educational, interesting, and plain fun and absolute enjoyment. You and Kasey have committed to this lifestyle and rescue. It's truly a joy watching the 2 of you interact together but the bird, Kiwi, was the best. Thank you for letting us into your day to day lives and Many Blessings
They have amazing uploads & I've learned alot from this channel 😊
Our red eared slider is over 20 years old that we know of, she could easily be older. We were given her when her family had to move and were at the time homeless. They had no idea how old she was as they had been given her by another person. Again as you said she was in a 20 gallon tank. We tryed the outside kiddie pool with big rocks but the dogs kept squishing the fence to drink out of it. So we got a 120 gal. aquarium with a homemade huge turtle dock above and she stays in that pretty happily. She also requires a laarge canister type filter! I don't know about other turtles but redears seem to poop alot and alge up the water. The big filter keeps her tank much clearer and cleaner.
I can so relate Casey. I have raised many babies and as adults they took up with the men in the house. Thank you guys for all you do.❤❤
I have been specifically caring for Deformed Box Turtles and Sliders. MBD Camp over here.
Thank you for the cameo from Otis! 🥰 Your compassion is endless, but what about your property size?
LOVE the caiman! Your talkative sidekick was very entertaining. Amazing rescue. Thank you for posting.
We live in Arizona and my niece took a tiny sulcata whose clutch was found by dogs( not hers) in the desert, I came to visit shortly after and fell in love, as in head over heels and her name is Tomi Tiptoe. Her sister tortoise went to another home but they could not keep her and my niece then took in Tikki Charlie. They live in the back yard enclosure and she grows and buys food for them. They are about 4 years old and about 30 plus pounds and bring light and joy to life. They are healthy but as she read up on sulcata diet and fed tomi correctly from the start and her shell is perfect. Tikki has some pyramiding but not too bad and thats how we can tell them apart. Tomi wants little to do with humans (unless food is involved) Tikki is a little lover which is opposite what you would think but what a wonderful experience it has been!
They seem to be such charming critters. I love watching Caitlyn and Tiptoe's adventures (Caitlyn Doran channel) - maybe you've already discovered it. She really seems to have devoted her life to her tortoise, and they have so much fun together.
@@chezmoi42 Tikki is charming but Tomi wants her food now and hisses.
Do you adopt the sliders out? My daughter has a backyard koi pond and 1 male red eared slider she's had for about 8 years. His name is Hermes, and he's lonely. He does the mating arm flap to one particular fish, but he'd really like a friend
@@starlawilson9011 He sounds like a sweetie. I suspect you were addressing your question to GST, and not the OP of this conversation. If so, you should repost this comment on its own, where there's a chance Chris can see it. If you're in the NJ area, perhaps you can contact him directly.
How common are feral sulcatas in Arizona? Are they established, or just escapees?
It was the box that Tiki said to herself, I don't know what's in that box so I'm going to the highest place on my hooman just in case,lol. That's a lot of turtles, especially red ears, can't thank you enough for helping these critters. Chris and Casey thanks for helping them out.🐢🦎👍❤️
Wow, it's so sad to see the number of improperly cared for turtles. But if those few really damaged ones are too ill to recover, at least their final days will be spent in turtle paradise. ❤❤
Red Eared sliders can be phenomenal pets with just a little research and effort. So sad to see so many discarded.
I knew someone who once surrendered a batch of turtles to either “Popcorn Park” or “Turtleback Zoo” (whichever was completed in the early 2000’s) before he passed away. The previous owner lived in North Jersey and “Otis” looks/acts amazingly like one of his 2 male Easterns.
_Funny how six degrees of separation becomes 1 1/2 in certain communities._
Oh *that's* who i'm hearing while you're in the reptile building! lol. Tiki is absolutely adorable and so funny. That is a LOT of Red Earred Sliders! hopeing the weather is better and you can put them outside soon. Thank you for helping them!
I continue to be amazed with with what you guys manage in your day to day lives.
Ditto. Ditto.
Finally the alarm culprit! I commented before how I thought some electronic was going off in my house, before I realized it was these videos. Thanks Tiki indeed ;]
Astounding you received so many turtles of mostly the same breed. Wonder how many are just set free. These are the lucky ones. Thank you for all you do for them ❤❤❤❤❤
That’s how Red Eared Sliders became invasive in nearly every state. I’m somewhat guilty, as a kid I released at least half a dozen in the large pond within the Japanese Garden in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. That was many years ago and whenever I visit I wonder which of those giants spent the first year or so in a tank on my bedroom windowsill. At least they are contained in a man-made system and being well taken care of.
Heartbreaking! I'm glad they found you guys!
Raptar is absolutely gorgeous!! 🥰💕
I always look forward to seeing your smiling face and the wonderful turtles.
What a load of red sliders you got in today!( among other things) I just think to myself what would these poor animals do without you. You always turn a very sad situation into a very happy situation. I might see you in Puta Gorda. Thank you again for everything you do ❤️
My cat very much enjoyed your birdie😂😂😂
Wow; mega dittos indeed, Chris and Casey, for what all you do for turtles in need! 🐢🐢
Congrats on your acquiring “Raptor!” A gorgeous creature. 🦎
The lizard at the end has stunning colours I’ve never seen red on a lizard before.
Otis acts so much like a puppy sometimes; he always brings a smile to my face. His stance when he was sizing up the female box turtle looked so much like a little growling dog!
Thanks for the work yall do! Much love and appreciation! Love learning from you guys! Het for invisible 😂😂
Ditto
Wow, that's sad . So glad you can take them 😢.
Goodness. It’s hard seeing those that weren’t cared for properly. Especially when you appeared to be getting emotional over it.
Ah my female Pearl Cockteil did the same thing as your Tiki!!!
I used to work with reptile rescues. We always had a ton of Red Eared Sliders. They are a fun turtle that too many people "throw away "
The female E. Box turtle is so cute! I am ecstatic that she went to you both!
That Caiman Lizard is epic! They are such a gnarly animal that have fun personalities!
Enjoy!
Every time I see all these red eared sliders I just want to help give them the home they deserve.
Tiki thinks Chris is her mate, lol. I really shudder when I hear of a hoarding situation…those poor turtles…horrifying. Otis is an adorable stinker!
Chris mentioned he couldn’t house Otis with the rescued female Eastern Box. Why would Otis attack her?
Looks like I increased my membership level at just the right time! What a haul of rescues!
Well I assume Otis would be a little bit too much of a male turtle
Meaning he’d probably start mating with her
@@lauralake7430 Otis is a box turtle. He is not a tortoise.
Otis does not like other turtles. He becomes quite aggressive with them. He could harm her.
@@vixenligon1167 He is a bit of a spoiled brat! But cute and personable, so I guess that’s how he gets away with it!
Thank you for taking care of these precious innocent baby’s.
Always happy when you post a new video 😊 Always educational, a touch humorous, positive and yet real. You and Casey are amazing people who are doing amazing and wonderful things for the creatures of our earth. ❤
Red ear sliders are the BEST. I have 6 adults for years and one juvenile my neighbors found in their pool. They can be taught things very easily. I just recently taught my oldest boy, 20 years, to go potty when I ask him if he needs to go.
Thank you and Casey for everything you do for these guys and girls. It’s hard to imagine the way some of them have been treated but fortunately they are with you all and of course Otis now❤❤
I love Tiki the cockatiel! She reminds me of my Peppers who was with me for 13 years! Just love the personality wrapped up in that little bundle of feathers!
It's possible that she likes you, Chris, almost as much as Otis!
It's so sad that so many people take on a pet and don't research it, or understand what it takes to care for it properly ☹️ Glad they made it into your care!
Glad the other place is doing right thing. Finding a new place. ❤
Chris, you're lucky that Tiki isn't a woodpecker 🕊️
Tiki is such a character.
Aww man, May 19th is my baby shower. I would so love to take a trip down south for the turtle festival. Hope it's a blast. ❤
OTIS IS HILARIOUS.....AND ALSO GORGEOUS ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤....HI TIKI!❤
Tiki giving her commentary for the other cockatiels watching 😅
Hello Tiki! Glad to finally meet you on camera 😅
I have one a rescued from a pond the city was draining. She is happy in my pond with three other turtles
AWWWW Tiki the cockatiel! 🥹💚😚🦜 love that name hehe
Wow, that’s a lot of Red Ears! They lucked out ending up with you both!🐢❤️🐢 I’ve always loved Caiman lizards. And also Green Tree Monitors. 🦎❤️🦎
I feel so bad for all thise turtles. I am glad they have wound up with you and Casey.
So jelly 🥹 Caiman lizards are my favorite 😍
Very sad to see the shape of some of these rescue animals and thankfully they are in great hands with you. Keep up the great work.
Well done for taking in all those rescues! Can we have a bonus video about Tiki? 😃
All hail, King Otis!!
I think they are ALL Beautiful ❤ even the lumpy, bumpy, and neglected ones💜🥺
I love Casey’s Art❤
I am looking forward to hopefully seeing you in the UK. Hope you can bring some of your animals with you; particularly Otis. I love your videos. Gives me my weekly fix 🐢❤
Once again learn so much from you! Your new lizard 🦎 is intriguing! Now your sweet birdie friend has certainly imprinted on you! You are her boyfriend 😊
Wow. That is a large haul. I have two Maps, one Mississippi and one Ouachita. Glad you showed the old male; I definitely know I've got two ladies.
At least the remainder of their lives will be great with you because you clearly know what you are doing and clearly care about the turtles.
Thanks!
Can RES be released to the wild in the native habitat? Where they should be, not where they will be invasive? Can turtles be spayed?
Great questions
Wonderful to hear about your upcoming adventures!
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
My painted turtle Soup was much larger than the 2 you showed us.
We get them in out canals and rivers in the UK, people don't realise how big they get and set them free. I was on a barge in my area near Nottingham (robin hood country) the amount we saw sunbathing on rocks was astonishing!
A friend of mine has a caiman lizard and it seems to be growing so slow . It’s fed a varied diet including snails but still seems to be growing so slow . I’ll stick with my leachies and frilled lizards . I’m incubating frilled eggs right now , I’ve gotten two clutches so far!!
What an enormous undertaking!! And what a statement about the lack of commitment so many people have for animals they take in. It makes me so sad, but I am so thankful that you are doing what you do. You guys are a Godsend for these beautiful creatures. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you for the great work you do for this animal
Y'all Guys are awesome 😎😎😎
Ditto.
Tiki is best helper. Lol
Otis : Nooo !.... i'm too handsome to be single
I’m glad these babies are with you ❤❤❤ I’m a turtle mom since I was in elementary school.. I learned with years and after making a lot of mistakes.. 😔 turtles need the same attention than other pets 🐢❤️ thank you for taking care of them and teaching us to be better pets parents 🐢🐢🐢❤❤
Absolutely love what you guys do for the many rescues you take in... Also want to thank you for all the knowledge you have and have provided over the years I've been watching. Our tortoise is starting to get bigger and we have gotten her a tortoise table which you've shown in your videos and pictures of you were on the page. We know as time goes on we'll have to put her in the yard, which we have a great side yard for her, but for now we're enjoying her in the house. Thank you again for all that you guys do 💜💜💜
Wild creature lived in the city. Its called modern wilderness.
I've always I've always wanted a turtle. My grandma had an outdoor box turtle that would let us pet its shell when I was a little kid.
I think I'll definitely wait until I have plenty of room for a reptile, though
thank u for all that u do!
Heartbreaking conditions on most of those Red Ears
Love your channel
Love the creative intro! Even in my country abandoning read eared sliders in the wild is a huge problem, even though they can't survive here for more than a few months. It's a curse and a blessing, since otherwise it would probably be an invasive species here too.
Are any of the rescues up for adoption? I would ADORE that little Russian male!! I have a little girl and having another would be amazing!
Great hat! lol
BIRD! and my girl Gryphon is just as insistent on Head Sit. Edit: Gryphon keeps chirping back at Tiki. Also I had a sweet hand raised cockatiel who preferred my dad to me! She'd walk through the entire house to find him and sit on his shoulder instead.
Also I feel bad for the turtles. I'm sure you'll give them the best life possible from now on!
I'm trying to remember what tank size we had our sliders in as a kid. It was huuuge... but I was also a tiny kid. So it may have just appeared larger to tiny Horsetuna.
cannot wait until you come to the uk im going to be traveling over 6 hours to see you
Great way to start Sunday morning as always. I have a couple of recommendations. I very recently bought 3 yellow bellied slider hatchlings from a well established FL retailer. Have always had very healthy animals. Noticed one has subtle red ear markings. All three have the dark spots on the underside of the marginal scutes. All three have multiple black spots across the plastron. Pretty sure I have some intergrades but sure would enjoy a video that looks at this differentiation in hatchlings-- similar to your video differentiating eastern and western hermans. Second, it would be useful to produce a longer form video on how to build a relatively inexpensive inground or livestock tank pond. Maybe that type of instructional video would help some to enjoy turtles while reducing the risk of rehoming later. Thanks again for all you guys do.
Please keep them safe
Otis is such a goof ball 😅😂 will you be able to rehome any of those red ears?
I feel so bad for those turtles. Will you keep them all? Or rehouse them? I’m new to the channel and wondering what you do with all the rescues.
On a fishing trip with my father to the Everglades, I netted a little red ear. We took him him home and named him Crawley. When he grew so large he began routinely escaping his enclosure, we returned him to the wild. Too bad so many of the turtles your rescued didn't have that option.
I love Caiman Lizards they are so unique looking, aren’t they mainly aquatic? I can’t wait for you to do an enclosure for him, a pond with branches to climb up on would be great! Tom Cruchfield has a couple being raised up and are doing fantastic. Look for his video, I think Kenan did one. ❤🐢🦎❤‼️👍👍
Great video once again. Would love to attend these events but alas too far away, hope you have a great time😊
Turtle fest! I would love to go to that
Woot! Net GST video!
You guys are amazing
❤
Red ears and sulcata always are in need of new homes. I can't take in another red ear.
Thank you for your dedication!
Otis 😅lol sassssy
Sly Stallone still has Cuff and Link from the Rocky movies.
Great Video!!
* Chris introduced a deformed Eastern Box Turtle female to audiences education *
