One of the big reasons that I love Clint and this channel is that he is bringing reptile keeping to the masses in a responsible manner. The frequent references to doing your research rather than just buying an animal because it's cute and the encouragement to rescue animals rather than promote an unsustainable trade in wild caught or sickly babies is why this channel deserves and needs far, far more publicity.

@staceyroberts3468 5 лет назад

L Mc so true! I agree with every point you made about what makes him a great spokesman for the reptile trade. I wish more of these channels pointed out everything he does and to collect in a responsible, caring way 👍🏻

@nicholaslienandjaja1815 4 года назад

Yup, and I support both responsible captive breeding and owning licenses for exotic pets, because completely banning them at all will result in more illegal trades, poaching, and exotic pet mills as well as tons of angry people who had done their research, are responsible enough, and want to keep a pet reptile/amphibian/predatory fish/farm animal/parrot/invertebrate, but are not allowed to due to the complete ban.

@Agshdhsu1267 4 года назад

David Gormley Craigslist and tortoise rescues are a good place to look for a little bit older tortoises but there usually are not many available that way. I’ve heard Tort Stork and Tortoise Supply are pretty good. Try to get captive bred tortoises and don’t get them from Petco or Petsmart because they are wild caught

@yvettealdrich1201 3 года назад

Sid we found a baby res in April at a local lake. It was less than a week old and was lost on a dirt path in the heat. We picked it up and put it in a container with water in the shade. All day we played at the lake and discussed if we should take it home. We decided to take it home and she is now in a 30 gallon takin with rocks she loves to move and a floating basking rock. She was so happy when we put her in her big tank and swims all over and comes to us and begs. She also plays in the down pour of the filter like it is a ride! She is so funny! I know that she/he will get to a pretty good size and live a long life, but I think my hubby is happy with that because they seem to have bonded. She begs from him as soon as she hears his voice when he gets home from work. I wasn't sure we would be able take care of her correctly but after a lot of study on my part and she is healthy and happy.

@IvyLupusXKariCatta Год назад

That sounds like my sister's red ear slider. She got him when someone brought him into the shelter where she worked at because he was hit when the person was mowing their grass. Luckily, he was fine. But my sister got attached to him by the time he healed enough to go back into the wild. That's how Franklin joined her family. He follows you all over in his tank, wanting attention, but then he panics and swims away if you try to pet him

Proud owner of Box Turtles. I helped in healing a turtle that had its shell opened from below and now he’s much safer. From what was once instant fear slowly grew to trusting me. Currently the little fell is walking outside just chillin around. My other one is as domestic as he could get. Very adorable and sometimes I share my bed to the little one and he just extends his neck to a makeshift pillow. Honestly Turtles and Tortoises are cute.

@ArtisticlyAlexis 5 лет назад

This was an amazing introduction to the different types of tortoises and turtles out there, but also because you talk about responsibility in the first few minutes! I own a Russian (Morty the Tortie) and a Red-footed (Yurtle the Turtle) and respect them both so much as amazing reptiles! Russians don't need just a clear enclosure to not understand boundaries. Our Morty is in a dark enclosure and when he wants to get out for a walk, will repeatedly bang, scratch, and try to climb out. One thing I think you could have hit on with the Russian is that they need lots of exercise and/or a nice big enclosure, because in the wild they impressively walk 4 MILES A DAY (pretty impressive when you take their size into account!) Their also speed demons! My guy can run off in a flash, so you have to be careful to not lose sight of them. A big pro is their amazing personalities! Morty the Tortie reminds me of a grumpy old man who is actually lovable under their hard shell! He's very social and so smart! They're amazingly great pets, but just like you, I wish pet stores would not sell wild caught and teach buyers that they need a big enclosurer of about 6 square feet. Thanks so much for teaching responsibility in reptile ownership, something rare for channels because they are also breeding them. Also, I LOVE that you spoke about rescuing sulcatas. Amazing video! I subscribed instantly!

@@ClintsReptiles I wanted to create a new concept to support conservation efforts. The concept of a microhabitat. I’m familiar with cats, feral cats, and even small cat conservation efforts. So my first microhabitat design is premised on feral cats. Basically to take an abandoned lot otherwise on usable, but sufficiently sizable. To re-populate it with trees and other vegetation Beneficial to residence, specifically Cat. It should be modeled like, the birds of Eden. This is the largest free flight aviary in South Africa.

700+ views and only 70+ likes? Come on folks. Awesome video. I don’t think a turtle is for me but they are really cool animals.

That box turtle was looking into my soul... 😰

@MonkeyTune999 5 лет назад

Totally agree with you. I have worked in pet shops (some good, some bad) for years on and off and I am always trying to stray people away from getting turtles for their kids who are most likely not going to keep up with the maintenance turtles need. A lot of people think you can just chuck aquatic turtles in a tank and they're good to go. I'm not sure why they're so widely sold as beginner pets!

I really love all of your videos! It's very interesting to listen to you and watch you handling reptiles :D Would you maybe make some more videos abour turtles? ^^

@ClintsReptiles 5 лет назад

Bc or your videos we bought a captive bred musk turtle yearling. We named him Pâté and have his tank set up. We never thought we would love a turtle but he’s so fun to feed and watch.

It might not be in the 'pros' column from the perspective of those who want a pet, but I like that thing about tortoises where they are very strong and often accomplished burrowers. I like the idea of a tortoise that can rearrange furniture and dictate terms to your landscaping.

Clint!!!!!!!!!! This is getting weird every time you do a video I have a conversation about the same topic hours before (top 5 snakes, the expo video, and now this one (you said you were "monitoring conversations to stay relevant" and i was foolish enough to think you were joking until now :D)). my friend wants to get a pet reptile and she was thinking a turtle, and I talked her out of it because they live longer than we plan to because we are 30ish.

@ClintsReptiles 6 лет назад

I never joke. We would love it if you could talk about these things earlier in the week though. It is hard to get the animals, write the scripts, film and edit all in a few hours. Obviously we love your ideas, but we could use a little more time. Thank you :)

@thesoupofthebrain2446 6 лет назад

I will try harder thanks you are the coolest. :)

@thesoupofthebrain2446 6 лет назад

i do have some ideas if you are interested. 1 top vegetarian reptiles (whether or not you would recommend them to beginners, whether or not they are captive bred, and if they make fun pets and not just really expensive setups that happen to have animals in them.) 2 tops warning signs to not buy reptiles from someone (how to tell if they are falsifying records, selling wild caught and claiming it something else, and how to detect "reptile puppy mills" and are they really that bad) 3 top animals in the pet market that you wish weren't for whatever reason (because i am sure with as much as you know you get sad when you see certain pets)

I have two baby Rd-Footed tortoises. I have had them since August of this year. Captive bred. Probably hatched in June. I researched for approx. 6 months prior to purchase. I really enjoy them. Can't wait until they get a little bigger. Right now they are still baby babies! I have had semi-aquatic turtles and a number of reptiles so I am not new to the husbandry responsibilities. I had Diamondback Terrapins when I was a kid. They lived in the brackish water river behind my house where I grew up in NJ

@platgraffiti1627 4 года назад

I have a sulcata tortoise about 1 and a half his size his cage is my back yard he has a tortoise house that was 3000 we feed him occasional lettuce and apples but mostly feed off of grass and hay pellets he interacts with us and is adorable. We rescued him and dont regret it. We have the yard blocked off so he is safe. So if you want a huge tortoise that you can invest in I recommend it. Also he is only 10 and remember to have someone to give them to because they live longer than you 150 - 200 years. He is so great. Love your vids Clint.

@jacobguy3343 6 лет назад

top 5 frogs next I know they're amphibians but still awesome

@ClintsReptiles 6 лет назад

We probably will get into them in the future. I would love more opinions on this one. What do you all think?

@jacobguy3343 6 лет назад

Clint's Reptiles I really liked it the russian tortoise and the f diamondback terrapians were awesome I just ain't got the room for them right now 😌

@theprovoloneman281 6 лет назад

Clint's Reptiles you’re enthusiasm is one of the many reasons i watch these videos, it really brings up my day by seeing someone so happy about something.

@Edocsil13 6 лет назад

Definitely African Clawed Frogs (the big ones, not the dwarfs) and Pacman Frogs maybe? No one ever talks about ACFs but mine has been amazing and easy to care for!
