Hey friends! Thank you for watching, commenting and sharing. If you’d like to see more of our rescue work, watch this video next: th-cam.com/video/o5qdbgJrLCg/w-d-xo.html Lots of love, Chris ❤🐢🐍🦎
@@e.m8805 there is no need to isolate or quarantine these animals as we only accept them after that’s been done. Since we are a professional, state permitted facility, of course everything is taken seriously here. It’s just hard to remember to say every detail in the videos.
@@GardenStateTortoise You did say they had arrived after quarantine. It might be that you have to emphasise it. For those who know of it's importance but don't listen well, and those who are ignorant and don't know of it's importance and miss the importance of the brief reference. Might be worth making regular statements at the start of videos, maybe every fifth? about how important it is to not just release an unwanted reptile. Because it might not be an environment in which they can survive AND they could be released carrying an illness that will wipe out the local native population. Maybe you could list a phone number in your description for north and south states, maybe east and west states, that have a list of rescues in each state, that people can ring to hand over unwanted reptiles? As to why quarantine would be done before arriving at a species specific rescue; There is no point in 2 rescues risking illnesses. Far better to do the quarantine at surrender rescue, as this rescue would have so many animals that would be at risk. I am wondering about the wonderful dream homes these new arrivals have - and everybody, feeling so healthy, thinking about having babies - or at least, s ex. It sounds like you have a few girls who qualify as Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable, in the tortoise world. Won't they be pursued lustily, and if adult and feeling really healthy, won't many decide to breed? I imagine the resultant native species teenagers might be able to go to sites needing repopulation, to other reptile parks with great reputations, but I don't see you happy about sales to pet homes. Some of the rarer species must be a joy to have breed, but what of the crossbred ones? Do you rehome the crossbreds to experienced pet homes, not for breeding?
I was given an ornate box turtle from a friend and took it to the vet so I could learn how to take care of it, he told me alot about her and why her shell is also flipped up on the edges. I changed her diet and man did she come to life! Her beak is cute back also! I have had her for 14 years now and have learned so much from watching yalls channel. Her house is now outside, where she has hibernate 3 winters. " I was a wreck." I love the fact I am able to let her live a wild and natural life that nature intended ❤
One of my friends had a tiny red eared slider forced on her at a white elephant gift exchange party. When she told the person that brought it that she didn’t want it, they said that if she didn’t take it, they would put it outside in the snow. So, she took it in and gave it a great life living in her pond and a stock tank. Eventually, though, the care became too much with her health. She was lucky and found someone else who was experienced and wanted the turtle. She passed it along with the stock tank, filter, and lights she was using for the enclosure. People need to stop treating these animals as something disposable. I also fear that there are far too many sulcata tortoises being produced and we’ll start seeing a wave of them soon.
Thanks to everyone involved in this big rescue. Those turtles just won the lottery. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a turtle so fat 😮. Thanks for all ur beautiful family does helping us learn more about them. #ReptileArmy💜 #BrianStrong💜
The sound of all the little guys digging at the cardboard boxes to get out was funny to hear-a truck full of turtles Shawshank-ing their way out. They’re lucky to be in such a happy and healthy place now! Thanks to you and Popcorn Park for giving all of these little dudes a second chance to live naturally and get the care they need!
Thank you so much for this upload, I work at a pet store where I turn away so many people looking for "a baby turtle for my small child" -- I actually recommended a sweet couple to this channel a couple days so hopefully they followed through for more proper research. So many people just don't know or understand the right care requirements and it always feels nice seeing people really understand and actively try doing better
This hit close to home. As someone who's very passionate about animal rescue, I'm so pleased to know you are so involved! I urge anyone looking to any kind of pet to check with rescues and shelters before ever considering buying from a breeder. We get birds, guinea pigs, reptiles, and bunnies etc at the shelter! It's not just dogs and cats that get rejected. People don't realize what a commitment ANY animal is, and research is so important beforehand. Great video, and thank you for doing what you do.
@@TurtleShroom3 There are all sorts of animals that shelters take in. I'm in the city, just outside DC, and even our local shelter sometimes has snakes, lizards, turtles, chickens, rabbits, and even the occasional pig.
It's crazy how many sliders are surrendered places. I am over in WNY and have about a dozen rescued sliders at the moment and would have more, but I have to decline so many as well. I wish I could help more, but I already have a lot of other rescued turtles and tortoises among a bunch of other animals that have been surrendered over the years. You and your family are doing amazing work as always! Keep up the great work and I can't wait for Wednesdays video! 🐢🔥
An rv park I stayed at had two massive ponds with red eared sliders and everyday on my walk with my dog, we would keep an eye out for turtles on roads. my dog was awesome at finding the babys (she wouldn't attack, just get really excited and sniff them) then we would carry them to the pond so they wouldn't get crushed by cars. Red eared sliders are truly a large turtle. I removed leaches off of one lady's shell, she was a really sweet turtle, some would hiss and hide, but she stayed out the whole time I carried her. I saw a handful laying eggs just outside the pond. I even found a baby snapping turtle one day and that little dude looked just like a shark I swear lol. I hope not too many are getting run over now that I'm gone, people drive like crazy through that park.
It hurts to see the condition that some of these animals come in. I'm glad that they've found their way to you and your family. Thank you for the work that you do.
I've been a turtle lover most of my life, and I'm so glad people like you exist who know how to care for these creatures. Watching your channel has proven to me that while I am in love with turtles I could never keep one, I would never be able to care for one the way it needs to be cared for, it takes a lot of effort and knowledge and only those who have the time, space and money should keep them. I appreciate them in the wild or in reserves and aquariums. Thank you for taking care of our little friends in this world.❤ ps your daughters are so helpful and lovely, they're the best assistants!
Charlie and I support you and your people. I literally gasped when I saw the cusping on that red eared slider😢. I've been an animal lover for my entire life and when I inherited my Charlie the Tortoise 🐢 💕 he made my heart melt and break for all those who take on a turtle/Tortoise and not take care of it 💔
I’m so happy that many of these turtles will get to live their best life with you! I feel really really sad about those squished and curled looking ones. 😢❤
Amazing job guys, those turtles looked sooo happy when released into your ponds, they may not have had a great start in life, but the rest of their days will be amazing ❤
I can never emphasize how awesome you are in your care for turtles. I always recommend your channel when I run into their turtley inclined individuals. Meeting Otis is on my bucket list of things to do before I expire. 🥰
Wow 😮 I just want to cry for some of those animals!! I truly hope someone was trying their best, but the one with the curled upper shell made my heart hurt. Please keep us updated on these poor babies? Thank you so much for all you do with all of these turtles and tortoises!! Who knows where they’d be without places like yours❤
Wow! My heart goes out to all of these turtles and tortoises.Thank goodness for all that you and your family do for these to go on to live a forever life ❤Your videos are so educational 🙂
Your daughters are so cute and seem to be wonderful helpers. Do you host school/youth groups? It seems like a great place to encourage kids to help wildlife and educate them (and adults) on turtles and tortoises.
I had to pause around 3:00 because I’m crying like a baby😢 It’s just gut wrenching to see a carapace so deformed like that. I’m immediately attached to that turtle and want to give it the best life possible. Thank you both for what you do in rescuing these amazing animals!! Ugh, gotta stop crying. 🐢❤️🐢
I have three turtles. Two red-footed tortoises and a Cherry Headed Red-foot. That is all I will ever have. I live in NY State. I have them in an Avituvin enclosure like the one you set up in a previous video. I got them as hatchlings and I researched what they need prior to getting them. They have an 8ft X 3ftx 3ft enclosure that is coming in May. They are outgrowing the Avituvin terrarium. I will set it up with biological soil and proper lighting/heat/humidity/diet. I have had aquatic turtles from the time I was a kid until I was in my 40s (150gal tank). Always had only one or two because I lived in NY City as an adult. As a kid in Jersey we had local stuff outdoors in enclosures in the yard. It was the 60s/70s. Husbandry is essential to keeping a healthy animal. Also know your limits and the animals. I love your videos. I learn a lot from you. You do great work.
Those poor deformed turtles remind me of my Eastern Box turtle, Dax. I adopted him from MATTS back in 2013, and he wasn't given the best start in life. He'll never look like other box turtles do, but he's tough and I do my best to spoil him.
Thank you Chris and Family for doing the work and caring for these animals! It is so sad to see such deformed turtles but important to educate everyone.
❤ absolutely love the work you do! Thank you for doing it! Whenever anybody asks me about how to care for a turtle or tortoise you are the number one channel I refer them to
Thank you for this video! It put a big smile on my face seeing them get to go explore in so much room and more naturally than they’re used to. I know that’s not possible for everyone, but these guys deserve it! So lucky for people like you to help educate and offer assistance! 🎉❤
Thank you for loving and caring for these beautiful animals. So much love and blessings to you and all you do. on a side note. I just love the rustling noises the turtles are making in the boxes behind you. I'd like to think they are so anxious to get to their new adventure. So happy they are going home with your family. like others have said they hit the jackpot.
I remember a friend who used to buy Gulf coast Box Turtles (A common Box turtle subspecies) They always came with Bot Fly infestations. It was not easy picking the larvae out of the turtles.
How great and kind that you take on these guys 😊I do wish people would do like you said do their research before buying strange that some would choose not to. Thanks for sharing . Best of luck with your new addition .
2:38 It's terrible but it will make a fantastic ambassador animal. People need to see the results of improper care. There were plenty of warnings before the shell got to that extreme deformity, Oh boy.
How heartbreaking! I wonder why someone can't make it illegal to sell red eared sliders unless you've got a special license or something? Or make people have to go through a course in order to be able to own them. It's amazing what you all do, and thank goodness for it, but there's got to be a limit due to space. Truly love you guys!
I cant say how grateful I am of your channel. What I really cherish is that you guys wont sugar coat things for how involved owning a tortoise is. I think many people assume they are low maintenance pets, that don't need much husbandry. I want to start a local tortoise rescue someday, could you guys do a video on how you run the back end of operations. As an example, do you keep detailed records on each tortoise that goes through your facility?
Your girls are being raosed6in such an important time. Love how they help. Couple years from now, you'll have so much help with the wonderful things you guys do. Thank you 💞
You are one of all the greats of tortoise and turtle care and I have learned so much from your videos so I can start to successfully raise my hermman tortoise, Thalia and I along with many others appreciate your work.
I actually rescued a red ear from my local humane society recently. She had been stored in a container filled with water the entire time panicking . I told them she needed more than a tub , at least give her platform and lighting . They flat out gave me her for 5.00 because as the lady said they didn't know how to care for reptiles. I didn't intend on getting a turtle but i just couldn't leave her on that shelf. Sjes adjusting to her new habitat and so far she's coming around slowly but alot happier with her pond and logs.
Just wondered if you ever find new homes for your rescued animals, or if they stay with you forever? Thanks for your channel. I absolutely love it. I have a young Hermanns and your channel has helped me with my husbandry.
I always get so happy when I see leopards! My girl is almost exactly the size of that male and I've somehow managed to keep her shell completely smooth, almost zero pyramids!
I'm glad to see they have a place to go. I worked in veterinary field and it always frustrated me beyond belief that people did not research the husbandry of the pet they have.
I really love this channel. The earth is the better because of you. Your wealth of information and love for the animals is a pleasure. Obviously this is your avocation. I will make a donation - waiting for my state tax overpayment.
We had red eared terrapins when I was a kid - my mum was asked to "get rid of" 12 of them, so they lived in our bathtub until we found most of them homes.
Aww I have two razorback musks in a huge planted tank with two common musks. Whenever I go to the big box pet stores, I usually end up suggesting to parents about to buy red-eared sliders for their kids to buy musk turtles instead. They’re always shocked when I tell them how big the sliders get.

What about isolating for disease? Aren’t you worried about spreading illnesses to your current population?
@@e.m8805 there is no need to isolate or quarantine these animals as we only accept them after that’s been done. Since we are a professional, state permitted facility, of course everything is taken seriously here. It’s just hard to remember to say every detail in the videos.

I don't know how you get so much done. I'd be sitting by those ponds just watching all day long.
What a huge intake - thanks Leone family for caring for these turtles that needed homes!
Watching your girls help out renews my faith in humanity, faith shaken by the number of boxes in that van.
Those turtles thought they died and went to heaven. ❤ Hope to see the ones in need recover with your awesome care.
Love seeing the girls helping out caring the boxes. They are a joy seeing in the videos
Nothing easy about rescuing or taking on other folks responsible.
Thank you for taking this on for all those babies.
❤️😊
It hurts to see the condition that some of these animals come in. I'm glad that they've found their way to you and your family. Thank you for the work that you do.
First on a rainy Sunday.
I donate to Popcorn Park.
Thanks to all of you for your work.
Wow, thanks for caring enough to help! They need our help, poor babies.

Love the energy in your girls. So precious! I hope you can find places for them.
What you do for these turtles is beyond amazing. Your videos continue to be so informative.
I love to see a turtle kept in a tank all their live released into a pond, they must be amazed at their new homes,

Thanks for this message.
I want to adopt a small turtle one day when I have the resources, and I've already started researching for it.
It is so great to see these turtles being able to enjoy themselves. Thank you and the rescue that brought to you.❤
Thanks for doing this great work rescuing these beautiful reptiles and education on them.🐢🥰
So grateful for you and you're family taking such incredible care d responsibility for these beautiful turtles. Thank you!
Awe they all look so happy in their new homes!!!
Love to see these turtles thrive and live in a natural habitat! Love what you do!
Thank you for all you do! You are so positive and inspirational, but i know how much work rescue is❤❤❤🐢🐢🐢

Thank you GST!
Great work! We were able to rescue two red eared sliders from my grandparents and wish we had space for more
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. THANK YOU.
Wonderful. For all involved.
What a wonderful place you have for them.
Wonderful, informative video. You are absolute heroes!
I always get so happy when I see leopards! My girl is almost exactly the size of that male and I've somehow managed to keep her shell completely smooth, almost zero pyramids!
research research research it is so important to do it any and all animals need it before you buy do it watch videos yours is the best for this !!!!🙂
I'm glad to see they have a place to go. I worked in veterinary field and it always frustrated me beyond belief that people did not research the husbandry of the pet they have.
I really love this channel.
The earth is the better because of you. Your wealth of information and love for the animals is a pleasure.
Obviously this is your avocation.
I will make a donation - waiting for my state tax overpayment.
Girls so adorable!!!
I have scoliosis, and looking at that turtle with metabolic bone disease made me cringe. I know exactly what it feels like. 😭
Massive respect from India 👏
We had red eared terrapins when I was a kid - my mum was asked to "get rid of" 12 of them, so they lived in our bathtub until we found most of them homes.
Aww I have two razorback musks in a huge planted tank with two common musks. Whenever I go to the big box pet stores, I usually end up suggesting to parents about to buy red-eared sliders for their kids to buy musk turtles instead. They’re always shocked when I tell them how big the sliders get.

I wanted a box turtle. But when I realized there was not a veterinarian in my area to help care for it I decided against it.
Amazing work 👏
