2 Years of Franklin, my Turtle! - Origin Story 

Every video of Franklin: ru-vid.com/group/PLIXZgmnvg0nAs2k-QoMxOsp7uHo5IZTKw

you should've titled this *shellebrating 2 years of Franklin* come on Alex, you gotta use the cheesy puns when you can. it turtley works!

Franklin: hiding in your shell for protection < biting the spooky things ( and Alex)

00:59 *casually ignores snake crashing to the ground*

When are we gonna let franklin run the channel

0:59 lmao I love how you just dismissed the snake falling in the back

He protec he attack but most importantly he back

*Expectation:* Alex: "Im in the room all day because im doing school from home" *Reality:* Alex: Watches Philly D. instead. 5:01

Do a video on why you sleep on the floor. I'm curious any one else 🙋‍♀️hit the like button

0:16 true comedy is when you can't tell if it's young goherping or N O W goherping that's putting that laughtrack over his always terribly good comedy

Alex, you should sell a Franklin plushy eventually

alex: "older than a lot of you watching this video" me more than twice Franklin's age: "uhhh"

I love that turtle! He has inspired me to to possibly adopt my own! (Most likely once I move out so I have the space)

WHY DO YOU SLEEP ON THE FLOOR?

Wow franklin looks great! Great job!!

The way you said vegetables was adorable

You've heard of snek, now get ready for: turt

I thumbs upped because of that “Oowwwww” at the end 😂😂

Listening to you talk about how you spoil him made me smile. I love it

Your videos with Franklin are among my favorites. They show how much work it is to properly care for a slider, so hopefully somebody gets the idea! You've also helped spread awareness about rehoming, rehabilitation, and adoption with the little dude's help. Honestly it's rather inspiring. Help's that he's adorable tho.

Franklin needs more merch! He is the cutest 😍

off topic but you’re so cute ngl

I love this video. Franklin is just too cute! ❤️

Ahh, this is my first video I have watched of Franklin. I love his story. Thank you so much for your patience with him. I have a turtle that I rescued and believe me, when I say it's not easy or cheap owning a turtle. I can tell that you have spent a lot of time making him better. You are an truly Angel!!! Franklin is very lucky that you came to his rescue. Thank you! I wish we had more humans like you in this world. God Bless.

Hahaha I started to type out a comment about duckweed right when you brought it up! Turtles LOVE duckweed. What about digging? I bet he would have a grand time with skme pebbles and sand to rummage through. He might take a while to get used to it but every aquatic turtle I have cared for loved to turn the dirt all night. Also, shirt idea... A black shirt, with a bunch of white splotches on it, and a very innocent picture of franklin.... huehuehue. Edit: quick note, diet plays as much of a role in shell developmwnt as uvb exposure, just a good thing to keep in mind. Im sure cheerios and leftover ham or whatever did the poor guy no favors lol.

5:25 Excuse me you started to what?

Please don’t feed Franklin kale and spinach! Kale and spinach have oxalis acid which doesn’t allow turtles to absorb calcium! In moderation it is alright, but just be aware of this!

Franklin is adorable! Didn't realize that a turtle could have so much personality until I watched your channel. Franklin deserves being spoiled after what the poor thing went through with his previous owner.

Anyone that tells you this is a female knows nothing about red eared sliders. Great video by the way

Notification Squad!! Also I love my new hoodie! I got it yesterday. :3 I love how the little gekko is on the sleve. Thank you so much for your content!! ❤💛💚💙💜

omg his "ow" at the end is the cutest thing

Sleeps on the floor while having a fully functional bed. The logic here makes perfect sense.

My black-bellied slider turtles have been with me for 9 years, since they were hatchlings. They are awesome reptiles and make great pets! Considering that I am brazilian and they are native to Brazil, keeping the heating and the humidity at the right levels is very easy. They make great starter pets btw 😃 .

Great video Alex, glad that he is doing well!

Awww..... I didn't really know that Turtles would like being close to humans and the fact that he cuddles you is super cute

Franklin went through a lot in his life and is definitely a beaming ray of inspiration 👌🏻💕

I absolutely love the description, with the cereal and stuff lol 😂

Franklin is a god, this is now a religion

I love your tank set up for Franklin! I will definitely try to recreate something similar! 🐢😆

I'm sick right now watching your video. Your cheered me up love the vids dude keep em up

He is adorable

When he said older than a lot of you watching this video I laughed so hard🤣🤣🤣

i can tell you love him so much , thats one happy turtle !

Just wanted to say that it's been really awesome to watch you grow your channel and business ventures. Your videos are always so well produced and edited, regardless of whether you expect them to be seen by 5k or 50k people, and you're one of the very few people on this platform with true integrity. It's always refreshing to see videos from you because you won't sensationalise your content for quick views or put up an act to make things ''more exciting''. Keep up the great work, Alex! I wish I could have your work ethic.. :D

Omg I’m so glad I found your channel ! Your so funny and so helpful with turtle stuff !

Please do another video of Gobi! I love corn snakes! Also..... I asked for the exact sweatshirt you are wearing for my birthday next week. So excited to wear it. Thanks for the videos!

Hey it's been a few months since your last potato update. I'd like to see how it's doing ( not the amphibian, the actual potato )

More boa time and highlights ! :) your boa got me into wanting a boa and snake in general. Got my first snake, a western hognose, about a month ago. Lovin it. Your content is great!

0:59 I died. When you try your best but you don’t succeed!

Nice to hear about his progress, very interesting.

LMAO “he’s a dude, okay 😒” I LIVE the dry sarcasm 😂

Every GoHerping video, an animal tries jumping off a high place lol

i died when the snake fell in the background lmao

That is one amazing turtle trough

honestly convinced ur a sweet angel boy. teach me ur turtle ways. i have two RES and i wanna optimize their care and love them more.

I think everyone likes Franklin because we can totally tell how much you adore him haha Comes and chills on your toes!? C'mon that's gotta be the cutest thing ever a turtle can do.

At 1:00 when the snake fell off of the screen lol.

He protecc He attack ...but most importantly He got shell on his bacc

RU-vid is making mad it hasn’t been notifying me of your videos man! And I’ve been here before Franklin lol makes me proud 😂

Nice video and great camera work!

He’s a tiny water cat ;)

Big 👍! How are you my friend? Been following you for a long time! Franklin, is so cool! What a great story! Glad to see how good he's doing! You probably saved his life! I have two sliders myself that I rescued out of a school! I also have Donny boy, a red foot tortoise that I rescued out of an apartment! I have a lot more animals too but those are my turtles and tortoise story! Love your channel and content! Have a great weekend my friend! Take care and God bless you and the animals! Animal Papa and Junior! 🐾🐢👍❤️🙏

I only got 1:03 seconds in before wheezing because I was watching that snake and then "THUD"

My bf had a free roaming box turtle for over 20 years. He was awesome! Loved that turtle.

Anyone else notice that cute little snek trying to break out of its enclosure?

Nice video. Can you make more videos with your boa like a care guide or an update on her enclosure or even make a reptile feeding video. Either way keep up the great videos

Not to be over dramatic, and ye, I've said this about almost all your animals, but I would die for this slippy lil turt

Can you please make a video showing how you clean, maintain his tank, and what you use? Thank you so much!

More Franklin merch! Also wtf, how do people not see he's a red-eared slider?! Yeah the red isn't really visible, but the rest of his patterns and coloring are obvious still. I recognize those just from having one as a kid. C'mon! People man xP

My RES is also named Franklin! I got him in 2002, so just a bit older than yours. Yours is very cute :)

After 4 years of research and convincing my dad will let me get my first reptile, a rosy boa

Idk if it’s the same with turtles but the metal tanks poison goldfish (rusts over time) the heavy duty plastic ones are non toxic as far as I know (just something to look into

Awwww he looooves you ❤

Franklin is the reason I wanted my RES!! 😘🐢

I subscribed because of franklin but I love all the animals on your channel.

Hahaha that last second made me laugh xD

Crazy, i've been subbed for 2-3 years and that shit went by fast.

I'm halfway in an i'm crying because you've been so good to Mr. Franklin. Also def wanna know why you sleep on the floor?

just wanna start to keep red ears outdoors, thanks for the videos. anywaysm just subscribed to your channel. more vids to come thank you!

Love your videos

10/10 would love a biography of Sunny so I can watch it with my ball python.

He sure is looking good

Franklin 🥺❤️

Ooh an origin story.

you are a true turtle lover ! I call my turtle - turtle.

Awe, cute!!

you made my day

Can't wait for the new toad video

i've seen this video like 10 times but this is the first time I noticed the boa in the back!

I have a turtle named Franklin too!

Gucci? Never heard of her the new hype brand is goherping, s/ this new merch is amazing

Bro when you fed him that Dubia roach I wasn’t paying attention and I thought it was another turtle and my heart lept out of my chest

It's good to know that I'm not the only one that sleeps on the floor

Please tell us why you sleep on the floor

I enjoy your videos goherping

😆 I just realized I had Cheerios cereal in the cabinet and feed some to my red ear slider she loved them lol 😂 I wanna give them to her as a late night snake I wonder if that’s healthy. She has a great varied diet of super worms 🐛 grapes and turtle pellets. But she won’t eat any leafy veggies none.

He went through turtle puberty

FINALLY !!!

Ayee my g Franklin

I remember when I was younger I had 3 turtles and we made them a pond outside,boy not just any pond,we dug out a hummer hole in the dirt,about the size of an 80 gallon -100 gallon tank,put a liner,and filled it with dechlorinated water.They lived happy with koi fish and a lot of gold fish.They had a lamp,night lights,and a fence,but they escaped.Sometimes we found them back in the water magically,like on one special 4th Of July.But they all eventually escaped,and we found there bones dried up.I buried them.😥
