My daughter told me about Helix and I think it is so cool. Our tortoise has three legs and a cue ball. Steve gets all around the yard without a hitch. We so love Stevo. Helix is a happy guy. Love that you took care of his problem and now he is happy!
Toy car company Hotwheels released a model called 'Turtoshell' inspired by Helix even down to the deformed back legs which they converted into exhaust pipes.I picked mine up yesterday so they are still available for retail to anyone interested. well worth looking out for and collecting.
Baby tortoise is so cute. May try 3 or 4 caster wheels. May help ease the front limb pressure. Or strap above his shell with larger wheels on the side.
I wonder if the shell could be straightened by applying constant tension, like with braces for crooked teeth. Obviously it's too late for him, but I mean for other deformed tortoises.
this feels mildly self satisfying and selfish... anything for a like these days. I see the good intentions, but this doesn't feel humane. As a russian tortoise i say let him go to turtle heaven.
You believe he should be EUTHANIZED? You actually believe this was posted for "likes"? I'm sure, if at any point, this man feels that Helix is suffering, he would do what is necessary. This man is not "selfish". Perhaps, you should see his work, with tortoises, on Instagram.
Will be dead in a few months lol. Imagine spending this much effort on 1 captive, deformed tortoise. Naturally most of the offspring die anyway. He he spent the time picking up trash or something, he'd probably save more animals.
@Parker He isn't saving wildlife. He's putting wheels on a turtle thats going to die in 2 weeks. Also, that's not how you spell literally, and you're a fucking moron.
This has restored my faith in humanity and made me a real animal lover. You are an amazingly clever tortoise.
“THEY SEE ME ROLLINNNNNNN” THEY HATINNNNNNNNNNNNN 😭
This is my favorite thing I've seen on the internet today. Helix is super cute and you're super awesome for looking out for him.
He'd be great ashtray xD
@@Pooly_Drawn_Ghost Oh yes...

It was so sad to hear he died in January 2020. You made his short life more enjoyable and thank you for that!
Great to see people like you taking an interest in preserving life
I hope he do not suffer, long live to Helix !!!
Helix is the best stunt driver I have seen

Helix is so cute😇
This vid has restored my faith in humanity 💚
Cute 🥰
I first saw about Helix on The Dodo.
Rip helix🥺
I have a baby Russian tortoise
his name is Ronnie
Hes literally my best friend
This made my day ❤
I have one too! His name is Walt!
Mine is RJ he says hey 👋
I love Helix he's so cute
Rest In Peace, Helix ☹️
He died?
Boccaccio1812 Yes, on January 16 from respiratory issues
Unfortunately that was bound to happen. Given how tortoises have to breathe, leg deformities are much more severe than they look like.
Omg i love tortoises and turtles 🐢🐢
They don't really look functional right now but when he gets bigger!
lol yknow they can just replace it right?
Thanks for doing good work dude!
This is an amazing story. I want some turtles now :)
RIP Helix
Well done my guy.
❤❤❤❤1 of my favorite animals
He now applies the wheels with small glue tabs, wheels on in under 20 seconds
So cute how his legs still move lol
Bruh u got me wanting a tortoises like helix

He has a website now and it is awesome! I live in Canada though, tortoise eggs can’t be shipped there.☹️
😢😢😢saw that this lil warrior passed
That is cool.
All his friends are jealous of his sweet wheels
this is sad and cute!
Few years we'll see him riding at the skateboard park.
I litterally thought that he was on teck deck wheels and he actually was lol
Super job👍❤❤❤❤❤
Super cute, but I'd name him Halfpipe. Works on multiple levels, no??
Why are there dislikes?
He's like mike from tmnt he loves skateboarding
Love it
awwww
Żółwik dajesz, 3mam kciuki stary
Bravo man bravooooo
This is so epic
ADOPT DONT SHOP! the little guy and his wheels are pretty cute
rip :(
Awh 🥺🥺✨
Vsco girls are probably watching this
i was brought here from reddit
Hello fellow redditor :D
Only if Michelangelo wasn’t hibernating
Do you have any cherry head tortoise for sale i am looking for a marbled one or ivory
Need helix update
Helix unfortunately died
How is he now?
He is dead 😔
Wait till he's bigger and put toy monster truck tires on him
But can you kickflip him?
What happend
That is just too aborabole
?
F
Rather cruel to keep him alive. The shell is all twisted around & as he gets bigger he's just gonna be in a world of hurt.

Shhh
Let people enjoy things
Go back to your little hole
Don't cut yourself on that edge.

@Parker Quit the bullshit, you're not educated.
I'll admit my comment was negative though.
@ok Hahahah you're one a sad little depressing fuck arent you.
