Excellent video dude! First one I’ve had the time to watch the day it dropped in months 🤣 I was not at all expecting number 1, lol, but you’re absolutely right. The power of networking is beneficial beyond just acquiring animals. I would be willing to bet my care standards are as high as they are as a result of networking and meeting real relatable people that are doing better then myself and pushing myself to achieve those same standards. Not to mention the collective vast array of knowledge within network circles. I can say without a doubt I wouldn’t have been given the opportunities I have to care for some awesome animals had I not gotten more involved within portions of the community (while also steering clear of others, but that’s a whole other can lol).
Ive bought and rescued turtles and tortoises and theres just a better feeling knowing you helped not only a person but an animal in a hard situation and to be able to help the animals overcome there previous living situations
Craigslist is kind of hit or miss when it comes to turtle/tortoise adoptions. I lucked out and found a great Ornate Box from someone who took excellent care of him, but could no longer provide adequate care. Next week I'm adopting a Three-Toed Box from a person who had no idea how to care for a box turtle (thought it could go in a pond with sliders).
Great video. I've adopted all of mine. Started with a painted turtle and the last one was a Sulcata. They may not be the "picture perfect" example, but I love them ✌🏻❤️🐢
I think when all have done that at some point when we were younger. Now there is no real reason, as there are knowledgeable people breeding in captivity
Would encourage anyone looking to purchase a RES to stop and talk to a local fish store or aquarium. A lot of people surrender them and if you can prove you can provide a proper home for them, often times you can get them very cheap or even free. I know the local reptile store in the area I just moved to has about a dozen sliders of different sizes that all need homes.

I agree. Some of the best and most personable animals I have are rescues and rehomes
I want to buy turtle
Thank you for the shout out. Love all your torts and turts.
I love your turds too! 💩
Big on adoptions. There are many different reptiles out there that need new homes.
Great video.
I always recommend looking at adoptions first
It’s extremely rewarding to work with animals in need and find suitable arrangements for them.

In my eyes the best thing you can do for a turtle or tortoise is adopt it,
Agreed!
Amen
👍

Great video. Love networking with likeminded people. Thanks for all you do.
Great information, if I get another tortoise I will use one of those methods to get it.
That's how I get all my tortillas
Mmmm Yummyyyyy
Such a great video. I’ve been trying to adopt but not having much luck.
Robert what kind of turtle/reptile are looking to adopt.
@@annturkovich80 I am hoping to find a tortoise. Know of any that need a good home?
What kind of tortoise?
Robert what state do you live in
@@annturkovich80 red foot on up to sulcata. I live in Jacksonville Florida.
Thank you sor your expert insights into what you know.
Do you think it will be possible to have aquatic plants in a cooter plastic tub without having it eat everything instantly?
You would want to head start the plants and get them big and established, and feed the cooter well
@@GregsTurtleHaven hahaha, good thing I had some in a different container. As soon as I put most of my plants in, my turtle went to town.
When I was a Boy (15 years ago or so) I picked up a 🐢 who was closing the road and kept it for some time. Now it is not possible or ethical. 😉
I think when all have done that at some point when we were younger. Now there is no real reason, as there are knowledgeable people breeding in captivity
How old is your Burmese mountain tortoise? I have two babies who are turning one in November.
Please do the video on star tortoise 👍🏻
I wish i can get a tortoise
Me tooooooo😭
