EASY BIOACTIVE TURTLE TANK SETUP!! | Leaf turtle habitat 

Next time I will make sure to put more of the turtles in the video!

Thanks man! Best of luck to you as well!

@@MikeTytula thanks brotha 🙏🏼👀🐢

It’s definitely a competition 👀👀👀

Fingers crossed they do! Just put them together!

They are fantastic!

I would freak out! Fingers crossed!

hahah not weird to other turtle people... the average person would probably be super confused haha. That's such a cool story, thanks for sharing! I haven't ever had the pleasure of owning any box turtles, but they seem like they make incredible pets. These guys are incredible, definitely something I hope I can achieve some day!

@@MikeTytula They are one of my favorite N. American species and highly sought after for their coloration & appearing to “imprint” (in a large part responsible for their decline/total decimation in some areas.) Easterns are way more aquatic than first believed and alhough unsubstantiated by myself it is alleged some will hibernate beneath the mud at the bottom of shallow ponds. N A Wood Turtles also naturally hibernate beneath water but prefer better oxygenated, running, cold-water stream beds. “Woodies” are another species much more aquatic than first imagined, they’re also thought to be the undisputed, most intelligent chelonian species -and are now one of the most highly protected. The Vietnamese Leaf Turtle’s crazy feeding response and “Mr Magoo eyes” make them a very endearing species. Good luck with the breeding project, brumation should definitely help get them “in the mood.” We’d allow our breeder male “Boxies” to have (supervised) sparring matches in front of the females. It’s part of their natural breeding/courtship routine and is said to really elevate their hormone levels. Clutches of 9 -12 fertile eggs (once 14!) were not uncommon. I know the clutch size for Leaf Turtles being a much smaller species is waaay less but I wonder if a little “macho show” between rival males would affect the % of fertile eggs per clutch? Just speculation. They don’t appear to be an aggressive species but looks can be deceiving! Cheers.

Thanks for watching Chantal!

I've uploaded a couple videos haha. But yes there will be an epic madagascar video coming soon!

There will definitely be a large update on them!

I also enjoy checking out any greenhouses and always leave with more than what I planned I just can’t help myself🤷‍♂️ I love plants

They certainly don't, and when they do they are like 1500-2k each!

Thanks for watching!

You would basically have to find someone in your country that has some for sale, and have them shipped.... but they aren't cheap!

Thanks! They are the best!

I will be doing livestreams on twitch, and that will be the best place to catch me!

Thanks! Should be interesting! Putting them into the tanks in the next few days!

Love that you are still watching the videos :)

It's definitely not easy, especially the first few times you do it, you'll think you are breaking it, I will definitely make a short about it.

@@MikeTytula I'll try to keep my eye out for it. I'd read/heard of people popping that off (to stuff it with filter foam and reduce the likelihood of baby mourning geckos escaping), but I honestly thought they were breaking the frame to do that. I never knew that they were made for that!

@@ProfJCsCritters You betcha! I will definitely make a short or something so do keep your eye out :)

Hahah I figured it might be an interesting spice for the intro 😂

Definitely intrigued on if they will produce this year or not!

Which ones?

haha you are one of the longest commenting channel watchers that I can remember! Thanks for the support :) Ya I think I am going to throw together a short or something sharing it

Yes absolutely!

Nice! And they do well?

@MikeTytula yes very well, I use potting soils to keep all my plants healthy..

Nice that is great to hear! @@ballistic350

What?

Thanks for stopping by the channel! We aren't really concerned, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, this soil was frozen outside most of the winter. Second, if we are worried about fungus gnats or something we microwave the substrate.

@@MikeTytula Thanks for the reply! I am from Southern California so we definitely dont get those freezing winters but I thanks for the tips! I will definitely stick around on the channel.

@@dericplummer9272 Right on! Good luck with your build! IF you have specific questions shoot me a message on IG

What are you talking about?

Thanks for watching!

What?

Nothing haha

Hopefully you enjoyed!!

Sheldon is doing great!

Thanks Brianna!
