  • Using my sulcata tortoise, we will explore the shell and look at the backbone and show how it is all part of the tortoises skeletal system. This is something every beginning tortoise keeper should be educated on. Plus we'll update you on Lumpy!

We have tons of info for lizards, snakes, turtles, sulcata, russian tortoise and all sorts of terrapin, crocodiles, alligators and all sorts of scaly & misunderstood creatures.

    I love reptiles. I've been keeping reptiles for 10+ years. But the one and only animal I have never desired to own or even really learn about (they always seemed boring to me) were turtles/tortoises. I stumbled on your channel via the video where you almost lost Slinkey, and I've been binge-watching your videos ever since. In doing so, I have found myself sort of falling in love with the shell babies. I even feel myself sort of wanting one 🤣 I don't know much about these animals, so these videos like this are great! I had no idea they had feeling in their shells. So neat!

    When I am explaining tortoise and turtle shells to kids, I get them to look at their fingernails. They can feel it when they touch the nail. They can press down and feel the bone underneath. Then I explain that the skin part is much thinner underneath the turtle's shell but still has blood and nerves to feel, feed and grow. Hopefully after the lesson, many of the students stop tapping on the shells unnecessarily. Good video. Thanks

I've got a question, I know u prob don't have time to answer every one but I've looked everywhere and can't find anything about sleeping positions of hatching sulcata tort. My baby sleeps with her feet all sticking out flat on the bottom of her shell on her warm rock,, I guess you could say"spread eagle" lol. Is she ok?
