    So sad that such incredible animals that have evolved so perfectly to thrive in some of the harshest environments without having to alter any aspect of their behaviour for millions of years are being so quickly eradicated by human beings. I have such a high level of respect for any one who can provide a safe environment for them, show people how amazing they are, and teach them about why they need to be protected.

    After watching you for a few years you can kinda tell when someone is a Turtle guy or girl. Something about the relax or chill attitude. He has such a cool setup with all the plants that the Turtles can eat. I would love to see some of your Turtle enclosures look like a jungle, it just looks so cool and inviting.

      Afterall Cannon he does his place the same as yours only has tortoises are smaller so he has the smaller areas but you do basically the same thing he does but you got the big ones they all Debra Hill sulcata and I think you got at least one or two Galapagos so you got the bigger areas bigger paddocks that's the only difference

    Kenan, you might want to have a care with Mexican petunia. Super invasive. And not many leaves as a reward.
    For Kate: I suggest things like bushes and vines where you can fence off the base of the plant and still have lots of flowers. Crepe mrytles are a good choice imo. They produce loads of flowers as well as shade. Best would be go to a local nursery and explain the problem. They can help you. and Kate will love it!

We birthed a wild nest of snappers from our veggie garden which was fun. We released them, about 20, in our creek area. It will be fun to see if we find any this spring. Hearty little buggers lol ❤❤
