Turtles and tortoises are cute
I love it when nerodia show up!
dude your youtube channel is amazing keep up the great work
Thanks!
Awesome video! The river cooters are beautiful ❤️❤️ The baby softshell was a great sign that they're doing well (all species) Thanks for sharing, I hope you keep going back there 😊
What a beautiful scenery! I love to that also. Thanks for sharing. Ive enjoyed it
Such an awesome dude 👍
These herping videos are super interesting.
13:45
Greg: sees leaches on turtle
Also Greg: “So this is probably gonna be the last turtle of the day”
Thanks for taking me on your journey!!! Love it!!
The thumbnail haha
Interesting video. Well filmed and presented
Greg,
Really enjoy your videos. I know the editing and production is so very time consuming and you really do such a great job.
I’m loving the technology of today and so happy I’ve lived long enough to enjoy such a specialized topic produced in such a fantastic way.
Cheers,
Chris
Thanks Chris! The shooting and editing on the herping videos is pretty basic and straightforward, the other stuff there is a bit more work. I just want to create some visually appealing and informative videos that help people and turtles 👍🏼
Great video. I really enjoyed watching that. I've actually had quite a few alligator reports in that area occasionally.
Southeastern Reptile Rescue yea, they seem to have spotty populations up the Flint corridor 👍🏼🐊
Where are all those big loggerheads ? They are small around Starr’s Mill and so are the alligator snappers I have found .
That Owen Wilson WOW was the best part 😂
naturewithgabe haha first try
greg, awesome content, great footage, nice looking animals. happy to see them in such a healthy habitat
Lol those glasses r gang asf greg 😂🐢
Man awesome Herping clear water too.
I have always wanted to explore more of the upper tributaries of the Flint . I have seen alligator snappers but they are small . DNR naturalists have seen barbers map turtles but I haven’t . All the loggerhead musks I have found are not as big as the monsters you find but I have found lots of mud turtles and soft shells there .
Do you know if the mud turtles you found were striped muds or easterns? The upper flint tends to be heavier on the striped muds in most areas
Awesome!
Very cool!
Mesmerising carapax!
I was out today (always looking for wildlife) but all I had was a distant cuckoo, here in Hilversum, Holland.
"Intelligent lockdown" ? Never in my whole life seen this many people in the woods. By far.
But very beautiful those streams! I liked the musk in the tree! And the common snapper! Mine is slightly smaller. And I have six common musk turtles. And some more. I ♥️ 🐢 !!
I’m get those glasses thanks for that tip when I go for a hike with my dog I see Soft shells, and snappers red sliders and western painted I wished musk lived here in New Mexico musk turtle are awesome looking
Not sure why I’m just now finding your channel. Excellent video man. Keeping/caring for turtles is an amazing experience, but NOTHING beats time in the field enjoying them and their natural homes.
I feel the same way! You can’t create a captive environment without a solid base knowledge of where they come from and exactly how they live in their habitat. I’m always happiest seeing wild turtles in the wild, as nature intended
Cool video, kind of made me wish I was walking along looking for turtles. Really cute baby soft shell turtle🐢. Wish people were more caring, and not pollute the rivers. I was surprised that despite the trash you were able to find some nice looking turtles. Really enjoyed this video, thank you, and be safe🐢🐢🐢
As always, great video
Awesome--I love the variety, even within the loggerheads!
Hey Greg what plant friendly substrate do you recommend for an aquarium with my male Loggerhead?
I know how you feel about the trash in the creek system. That's why I always take a trash bag or two when I fish.
Greg, you mention the geography of the Flint. You or others might enjoy my go pro filming of Lake Blackshere and also lake Seminole from a commercial jet at sunset. They can be found on my old Delticola channel. I love the Flint.
I’ve seen that video, well worth a look to anyone interested in the Flint River
@@GregsTurtleHaven ah and watched the whole video, very happy you discovered what I missed, what I never looked for. All the trips I made from there I always drove further away. Would be interesting to find the northern most spot where there are barbours and ast. Good work in this video, those beaver ponds in the southern flint, the deeper ones get ast populated according to al Redmond old interviews I made.
Amazing video! Well done greg 😃
hi love your video;s was wanting to know if you could do a care video on a hatchling razor back musk turtle and how to set up a bnatural aquarium thank you
Any beaver dams and ponds? Any beaver lodges?
Not at these spots, further north the beaver ponds and lodges become more common.
river cooters look like they were fashionable in the 70's
Love your videos man!
Alexander Dimitrov thanks!
Awesome vid! Can you give some tips when feeding fish/seafood from the grocery store to turtles? What safety precautions should I take.
They'll eat just about anything from canned tuna, salmon, mackerel, and shrimp and of course chicken ! I feed my little red ear a medium sized cooked frozen shrimp with all the shrimp shell completely removed once a day and he's already tripled in size in less than 2 months ! I'm positive the shrimp is his favorite because he devours the whole thing pretty quickly. I named him Mr. T 🐢
He's in 20 gallon kiddie pool setup as a natural environment with plants, rocks, and a small log for him to bask on. I live in a flood zone in a gully right next to a major creek, so we see everything from snakes galore and baby turtles every summer ! They also eat hotdogs, but I would not feed them to my pet turtle considering what most hotdogs have in them. Pretty Gross
Entertaining as always. Those finds are great. Especially the river cooters. I have cooters and the eastern river cooter is my favorite. I'm your fan from the Philippines 😊
Where is upper flint river because i live next to flint river bridge?
Views are up Greg! It’s insane how much more populated the rivers/creeks are down there compared to Kansas.
Awesome video! I enjoyed seeing the variety of turtles, and it's always a treat see the baby ones. I'm glad to hear the more urban part of their habitat is healthy enough for them to flourish. Love that the water is clear enough to see their trails, and it's cool to see the loggerheads climb to the primo higher places to bask. I would. 🌞
great vid
A did you say Georgia is the furthest north alligator snappers live?
No one:
Loggerheads:i c l i m b t h e t r e e s f o r s u n
How do I remove hard water / mineral deposits off my Razorbacks shell?
Should wear off in time in soft ph water, could take years but should come off if it’s just mineral staining
@@GregsTurtleHaven It seems to have spread in time. She had it before and it went away. But lately it has gotten worse. I think it's from water changes. I scrubbed her shell but seemed not to help.
❤🐢
Love how a few of the bridge supports look tilted. Not good.
So what are your favorite shoes to were for hunting in the water!
I’m so hard on water shoes, I end up just using Walmart ones. If you have any to recommend, I’d love to know
@@GregsTurtleHaven figured you were the Water Guy. They Carried some soft sole boots for a while but that was for climbing trees and Stone. All plastics but they were comfortable and cheap. Off to Walmart for my water shoes then.
Hey I just got a baby RES with only one eye..... please help me to take care of him the best way......
