The mother working sooo hard .. before and after laying....it's just incredible & awesome. Just got emotional to see this. Thank you for this amazing video .
Im in awe honestly. All of the care she takes in preparing a proper place and making sure they're safe in the end. Tortoises intelligence is something amazing to witness
It is heartwarming to see how much they trust you and let us viewers from around the world share in moments like these so many new babies on there way to join you in there safe new home.
Our family pet is a male Sulcata named Mekon, now about 18 yrs old. (We've had him since he was a hatchling.} I have to say, he is such a character, and yes, he has a personality. Tortoises are not slow, and they are smart too. Thanks for sharing.. 👍✌
Every animal has its own unique personality regardless of the species. Also, most are way more smart than people give them credit for. Most turtles and tortoises are way faster than people think, it's just that they don't try to go fast most of the time. Also, that sounds so sweet raising one from a hatchling.

@@TheTortoiseWhisperer hey! I got my own tortoise recently and your page has taught me so much! I just want to thank you for being my tortoise interest back
I really respect you for how respectful you are to those tortoise, I’ve found many TH-cam channels are a little unprofessional but this feels a lot more genuine. Keep up the good work!
Your videos are awesome! I have become fascinated with your tortoises. They are so prehistoric but still have personalities, and seem to enjoy human contact. Your knowledge of and care for these gentle creatures is a pleasure to watch.
i have always wanted a Tortoise. And seeing the way you interact with them is what i have always wanted. Until i can offer it the space it needs i will just continue to watch your videos. Great work !
@@gentrykoda I think “Ike” aka “Mr. Wow” is too heavy to pick up any more. I think at his ripe age of 45, he likely weighs over 100 lbs and the Tortoise he snatched up seemed lighter by the way he quickly scooped him up!
I have a question about the eggs. What if the season turns out to be a very dry one? Do you try to mimic the monsoon season by watering the area to soften the soil?
Generally I won't have to do that because when the babies hatch out they will actually stay in their small egg chamber for up to a month and some take a little longer than others when incubating so it's best to let them all come up together at once when it does rain. In the past I have done that and personally I believe it messes up the incubation process and makes the ground even more hard once that part dries up. Or else you would have to keep doing it and at that point you are just guessing that they are ready to be hatched. Because some eggs have taken 4 months and some have taken 9 months.
This was a very educational and wholesome video! I did not know a lot of the stuff about the egg laying process or the fact that Cactus contains calcium. Also, seeing the hard work and checking on the babies was awesome.
How many eggs did she lay again. I think I counted somewhere between 20 or 21 eggs. I think that's 5 or 6 more eggs the last time she laid. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞 all the eggs hatch. And praying for healthy, happy and beautiful babies to hatch. I'm so excited for mama. Congrats on 1 million subscribers you have earned those 1 million subscribers. Can't wait to see new babies. Send many kisses to the babies to come. 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@TheTortoiseWhisperer Do you think that Ike is the likely father or do the Tortoises mate with many, as time goes by? (In other words, are not the males and the females non-monogamous?)
Why are u surprised at the intelligence of a species that has been doing that for over a million years 🤔???? Really dude? And I say dude because I refuse to think another female is surprised at this? Ya she's badass! Goodluck at ur birth is u get the privilege of doing that!
I have never seen anything so precious and endearing. Shé gets that ground just flying as she digs. And so trusting also. What a privilege to be trusted so much by these wonderful creatures. I bet she goes off and sleeps for a while. ? Usually you coat the cactus w calcium powder. Do they get enough in the cactus?
This was so wonderful and interesting to watch. Their natural instincts amaze me! Since this was 2 years ago, I'm going to go and look for the follow up. Thank you so much for filming this and how much you care for this girl!
That was so cool. She did an amazing job and laid a ton of eggs. She tore that cactus up. Congrats on a million subs. Got a new subscriber. Was fun to watch. Great video
What a beautiful busy momma getting her “home” perfect!!! (Gerty- Omg it’s just such a perfect name for her. I wanna live there, lol. This is awesome!! They are gorgeous great job!)
kinda reminds me of that one time I dropped my meatball in the cafeteria at school. It clacked against the ground and everyone looked at me and went silent. They all found out that I eat frozen meatballs.
I love your videos. The eggs sound like ping pong balls. It amazes me how she does all that digging then covers it up like she never was there. Is Gertie the only one that lays eggs? Does Damia??
Dude, YOUR AWESOME!!This channel rocks and totally deserves another couple zeros on the subs. For reals. This is such an amazing view into such a complicated yet simple life form, so beautiful!! And the way you present your media, it's refreshing. You're not the star. The tortoises are. You're just the awesome caretaker who like speaks tortoise. 🐢🐢🐢!!! 👍✌️
Amazing that we get to witness wonderful new life being brought into the world. As a OB nurse who has delivered hundreds of babies I always marveled as each one is a true miracle ! Thank you for sharing and taking such wonderful care of your 🐢 🐢 🐢 🐢 🐢 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐢
Is it a coincidence or do they know to flaten out the top of the ground above the nest to not make it obvious to a smarter predator that there is a clutch nearby?
You can tell it’s time lapsed because of the way the light changes as she starts until she finishes. I too wish that there had been a tiny on-screen timer ⏱ in one corner of the video!
Thank you for working with and sharing your tortoises with us. I know you probably have been asked this before, but what do you do with all the babies?
These animals are soooooo smart. She dug that hole with such care knowing what was going into it. Then afterwards putting everything back together; like she wasn’t even there. I can’t even do that after taking a shower!!
I am telling all my friends about it. I do not know if they have also subscribed. I may start a channel for my pet goat, Sonny, but l am very low-tech.
This was so amazing to watch, thank you! I thought she was going to dig the hole for later so she was prepared when it came time to lay the eggs, not go through the whole process at once. What a long day for her, she must have been exhausted
Looking at how much she dug and how long it took her, I can't imagine the amount of energy it took. Not knowing what tortoise calorie burn looks like, that looked like a lot of work. Also, with the sheer number of babies that tortoises have, do they even have a way of recognizing each one individually as their own? I can't help but think they would lose track after a couple clutches.
After she gets done laying her eggs, her job there is done and the babies will hatch out a few months later living just like a normal tortoise 😁 The females won't know if it's their baby tortoise or not but they do know it's a baby tortoise and if they come across one they don't try to eat it or harm it in any way.
Life itself is so incredible, and to see this it just goes to show you how each species takes care of their own! Thanks so much for this great video!! ♥️♥️♥️🐢🐢🐢
I just found this channel. I follow elephants in South Africa, Friesian horses in the Netherlands, and now tortoises in Arizona. I can't wait to see all the hatchlings.
@0ddM0nk3y. Why help? She did a fine job on her own, in fact she even created a special “egg chamber” once her front legs hurled enough dirt first, then she turned around and dug a smaller chamber with her hind legs! Nature takes care of things, so l imagine human interference would not be helpful. Except her treat of a cactus pad after all the Hard Work!
The other day I got some UNBELIEVABLE footage of my tortoise laying eggs. We also went around and fed ALL the tortoises and put the GoPro on Ike for the day!

The perfect symmetry of the eggs gives me satisfaction

@@TheTortoiseWhisperer thank you for clarifying. The question popped into my head while you were explaining the egg laying process.
@@TheTortoiseWhisperer and during that time that they're underground doesn't it also give them time to have the yolk sac start to get absorbed?

Quick one here too, who's the father, ike?
