Chris, your enclosures are badass! total sustainable housing for domestic pet situation. we should take serious tips from this guy in every field. including normal agriculture outside the pet industry.
Just beautiful, and such great information. Hoping to get a Western Hermann's from Chris Leone someday soon. He is a wonderful keeper, breeder, and ambassador for Testudo tortoises (and all other turtles). Would love to see you two do more together.
Just found this Channel, I am passionate about wildlife aswell and only wish I could do what you do, I can however follow along with your adventures ! New subscriber from Ontario Canada ! Keep the videos coming ! Good work man !
beautiful video! i'm italian, and the first tortoise we call hermanni hermanni, and the second one(the biggest) we call hermanni boettgeri. marginata is call teh same. good job man! and fantastic enclosures!!
I have recently fell in love with turtles and tortises. Once i have seen how much personally they really do have i could help but to get more lol. Looking for a redfoot tortise for my 16 year old. And my 18 year old wants a box turtle.
ey! if you're ever in the fort meyes fl area you should go to the shall factory. they have animals that can feed and touch. it has a nature park and it's the coolest thing.
How do you deal with predators in your outdoor enclosures? I’m thinking of making one next spring but I don’t see any screens over top of yours so I’m wondering if I could get away with it?
I have a testudo tortoise that bought 5 days ago, he have a yellow shell and I would like to know what kind of testudo tortoise is he/she? (Greek, Hermann, Russian, etc) Also I want to know why he/she is not eating at all since I got it 5 days ago? I only sow him/her drink water once, is that normal? Can you help me by answering my questions, thanks
Is the tortoises by chance Testudo Graeca Ibrera? In Sweden we call them "Turkish Tortoise". I'm am talking about the tortoises shown 6 minutes in to the video.
Hello. I live near Tampa Florida and I am confused on what type of tortoise would be best for me. I've never owned a tortoise before and I am looking for a tortoise that won't get too big. I thought I was set on the Eastern Hermann's tortoise. Now I am starting to hear about the red foot cherry head. I just want to make sure it will be comfortable living in Florida with the humid weather. If anyone has any recommendations they would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
The eastern herman is a european tort and may not do so well in humidity. Go for a Red foot/Indian Star or any other which are not from cooler regions.
I have a Greek tortoise he's almost two years old when I got him I was told he was five weeks. He was tiny and he still is, how big should he be at this age? I take pictures of him beside a bottle water cap he grew maybe a little but it's hard to tell. He's the size of a golf ball. Also he will not eat anything if it has calcium powder on it except radicchio. I tried giving him cactus pad but he couldn't bite into even tho he tried. How much powder calcium should he be consuming?
Try giving it some grass, because in nature small tortoises usually have access to more of grass since they can't reach out to the leaves. Greeks usually don't get that big and do not add too much of calcium it may lead to pyramiding.
So if i bought one of these at Petsmart in MO. they would have to stay indoors all the time wouldn't they? They dont like high humidity. I wouldn't trust having any tortoise here. But they have them at Petsmart, TESTUDO.
I found one on the road last week, pulled the car over and carried it with us to the national park with my wife and kids. It was a great learning experience for them and we got to release it in a much safer environment.
Hi Kenan do Spur Thigh tortoises have another name my tortoise is a Greek Tortiose but you never mention Spur Thighs Please could you tell me if you know Thank You so much Barbra. U K x
I find it surprising that none of the tortoise enclosures have any netting above...are you not scared of any other animals comming into the torts enclosures?
Over time they get used to handling by the person feeding them and taking care of them. You can tell it from the way tortoises act:they dont try to defend themselves totally withdrawing into the shell or dont pee. The same with our tortoises
Oh my goodness this video is perfection!!!!! These are my FAVORITE species of tortoise all in one video 💗👍🏻🐢

Great information. Thanks.
You have the coolest friends,
How do you deal with predators in your outdoor enclosures? I’m thinking of making one next spring but I don’t see any screens over top of yours so I’m wondering if I could get away with it?
Kamp I live in N. California. Mediterranean climate. What is the tortoise to think about?
I have a northern Turkish colour variation Mediterranean spur thigh/ Greek tortoise.
I have a testudo tortoise that bought 5 days ago, he have a yellow shell and I would like to know what kind of testudo tortoise is he/she? (Greek, Hermann, Russian, etc) Also I want to know why he/she is not eating at all since I got it 5 days ago? I only sow him/her drink water once, is that normal? Can you help me by answering my questions, thanks
How do you Spell large Tortoises Name? That's a badass name.
I have a testudo and I am in az so I don’t know if he should be outside
Is the tortoises by chance Testudo Graeca Ibrera? In Sweden we call them "Turkish Tortoise".
I'm am talking about the tortoises shown 6 minutes in to the video.
What if you breed the eastern and western? Would you get a mix of the 2 and call it a compass tortoise?
kenan por que no poner subtitulos en español para los que te seguimos? gracias

I have a question for you what's the box turtle that lives in Dubuque Iowa ( name ) Hunter McCormick
I have a Greek tortoise he's almost two years old when I got him I was told he was five weeks. He was tiny and he still is, how big should he be at this age? I take pictures of him beside a bottle water cap he grew maybe a little but it's hard to tell. He's the size of a golf ball.

Greeks usually don't get that big and do not add too much of calcium it may lead to pyramiding.
Majestic Isle thanx😊 How often should I give it to him right now he gets it once a week
So if i bought one of these at Petsmart in MO. they would have to stay indoors all the time wouldn't they? They dont like high humidity. I wouldn't trust having any tortoise here. But they have them at Petsmart, TESTUDO.
Kenan seems to be in peoples’s personal space all the time. Lol
I think everyone should have a reptile form
Does a sulcata tortoise needs grass or can it be on earth??
joe olsen
The'll do well on earth but grass is always preferable since they love grazing all the time.
He really likes to manhandle those tortoises with all the flipping etc
Taylor Bolduc yeah ikr
Taylor Bolduc maybe he was just showing them
His tortoises are way happy for him to do so with no struggling to get away, he knows exactly what he is doing.
would testudo tortoises be good living with leopard tortoise in a community environment
I would say no. Testudo species specifically the males can be aggressive and territorial. And the leopards get very large in comparison
Where do u live?
Interesting information but the way the tortoise are handled, I would describe as rough . Like flipping a piece of driftwood.
I just found a eastern box turtle today
Aquatic Highs yup
I found one on the road last week, pulled the car over and carried it with us to the national park with my wife and kids. It was a great learning experience for them and we got to release it in a much safer environment.
Brien Clark same
Brien Clark you did the right thing others would just run It over
Hi Kenan do Spur Thigh tortoises have another name my tortoise is a Greek Tortiose but you never mention Spur Thighs
Please could you tell me if you know
Thank You so much
Barbra. U K x
Spur-thighed tortoise is just another name for the Greek tortoise (Testudo graeca). Pity that they didn't mention it in this video.
I find it surprising that none of the tortoise enclosures have any netting above...are you not scared of any other animals comming into the torts enclosures?
Are tortoises mean to their offspring at all?
Torts don't care about their offsprings, they have to survive on their own ever since the day they hatch
Slinky?
We have the eastern ones here in Israel
Israel is a terrorist nation
🤣🤣🤣 Estep or Pet Kingdom
How is Slinky doing with his new girlfriend ??????
ǤσкยTM- on Instagram he showed that they mated so hopefully there will be eggs eventually!
Charlie Olm Hopefully
Thx for the info
Man can't wait
Me neither
I do hope these are not being imported from the wild
mannz tortoise has those holes drilled to show where they would hang them up still alive :(
hi
This video is called testudos tortoise tutorial but there was barely any information on testudos
?
Please be gentle with these animals ,you are a bit rough with them !
Over time they get used to handling by the person feeding them and taking care of them. You can tell it from the way tortoises act:they dont try to defend themselves totally withdrawing into the shell or dont pee. The same with our tortoises
Second view!
Sorry
first
