I’ll have to look into NY I didn’t think they were legal there but I could be wrong I know terrapins are illegal up there .

Sorry boxie baby’s are 150.00 plus shipping

They aren’t unless you have a permit which I do since I have an adult boxie

Setups are looking good!

Thank you I really appreciate that . Thanks for watching too

Good eye my friend , I moved the blandings into a separate tank . Their diet is more chopped fish and the spotteds enjoy the worms and shrimp more .

Thanks hun , I hope to have the drywall up tomorrow

Thank you

Thanks Ruben , it’s really fun to just watch them swim and navigate their way

@@ChuckTornetta-TortugaRanch and the colors on those Terrapins are insane! they look like ornate haha they have big knobs

@@Rubenooh8 Yeah I have a lot of really nice terrapins I’m holding back and available

Ok cool , it’s my first time using it but I hope it keeps the building warm

I have a fenced in area in my backyard to keep the adult and a tortoise table for the baby

Many thanks my friend . It’s always a work in progress but I love it

@ChuckTornetta-TortugaRanch keep sharing we love seeing it

Oh I do haha I keep holdbacks every year . So rewarding

I just saw this , I put him back so I doubt he is there but I’ll look tomorrow and if I find him I’ll record it for ya . And as long as it’s legal to own a ebt where you live . Yes for sure

@@ChuckTornetta-TortugaRanchalright thanks

I have (3) 4 inch round boxes up there I’m gonna put in a fan for sure to blow back down some heat and keep the room warmer

Thank you

I agree and thank you my friend

Damm right ! Haha I’m always pushin my limits lol

Thanks my friend . I appreciate it

They’re funny walking on the wood , they follow me too sometimes

Yes I agree I’d rather have concrete but I’m also thinking about cement board and large tiles .

Thank you! 😊

Gotta keep it moving haha winters coming

Hahaha gimme a few weeks

@@ChuckTornetta-TortugaRanch Hahahahah

Thank you

Thank you I really appreciate that.

I’m very sorry that it got stung , I don’t have scorpions here in NJ but are there any live traps that you could put around to try and catch them for maybe a distance release . I really would suggest googling the issue and or ask other box turtle keepers in and around your area just what they do . I’d imaging my box turtles would try to eat them not knowing the danger.

Thanks I’ll post more tomorrow

I hope so , I’m racing against time . But I’m hopeful to have the walls done soon

Thanks I appreciate it.

Thank you I appreciate it

Thank you I just posted another video for todays progress

The ponds that have filters in some way are basically multiple ponds where as the filter is just a water reserve where pond water filters thru plants for natural filtration. Them turtles hibernate under water anyway and regularly walk in and out of both . So I don’t use the type of filter that a turtle can get stuck in .

Years ago I had my diamondbacks in a pond that had a skimmer box and they did used to get stuck in that thing so I did away with traditional filtration

Thank you

Good question and I’m sure it would be worth a try . It definitely couldn’t hurt . Mulch like Root mulch is actually warmer inside and under it because of the reaction to breaking down organic materials . If I were you I’d look into grass clippings piles and root mulch

These fish are incredible, they may be small but very hardy. They can get up to 2” but average one inch and they do just fine in winter . I don’t feed them until spring and they thrive .

Hahahaha that’s why I wanted to catch them in a short , they do this shit all day .
