Wow, I fell down the rabbit hole on your channel. You made me really appreciate turtles and how much care they really need. This will be a great channel to show your children some day as you were just a kid when you started it, and you had a pretty good beard in the last video you made. You are still a young man, but you have changed a lot. Your turtle collection has sure grown! Anyway, it was fun to watch your videos man!
Hi I have a question. What in your opinion is happening to all the softshell turtles? They are suddenly going extinct from many states. There are no longer any in many rivers and streams they were once found in just three or four years ago.
A combination of over - hunting them for the southern meat trade. They’re hunted by the hundreds of thousands. Many are also sent to China for their turtle meat trade. Same thing happens with snappers (though snappers aren’t at risk of being endangered) but strangely enough when it comes to snapping turtles the Chinese keep them as pets. I love soft shells. I keep a FL softie as a pet ❤
Would you be interested in taking 3 box turtles in? I’ve been caring for them for the past years and I’ve just been really busy lately they still get taken care of but I’m just doing a lot right now.
@@turtleconservation thx man. I’ve got a ton and I’m upgrading there tanks here pretty soon and they’ll have more room for hides. I wanted to add plants but didn’t no what types. Obviously can’t be something to big
@@High-Side-Broadcasting Thats cool! What type of box turtles do you have? Live plants are definitely beneficial to turtles, and you could also try moss.
Ive had a question I’ve been searching all over the web for and can’t find an answer so either it’s just common sense or doesn’t really matter, but my entire lawn is on a slight incline, and I can’t dig bc of rent, so would having my Russian tortoise habitat on an incline affect anything in his life? (recently got her she is 5 yrs)
I have a few hatchling box turtles available for sell or trade for a female Russian or Hermanns tortoise. If you or anyone else come across adult female Russian or Hermanns torts let me know.
Животные

Another great video. And that bog filter is genius.
Beautiful !!!
Great video. Exited for a turtle room update.

That bog filter set up on the medium pond is really nice! That is how my filter is setup on my smaller pond, and it works super well.

What are the best plants to put in a baby eastern box turtle tank?
Not that ive had a baby box turtle, but ferns, pothos, and duckweed in a water area are good
