A few years ago, my friend ‪@GregsTurtleHaven‬, gave our mutual friend Charlie, a hatchling Loggerhead Musk Turtle. He raised it up and enjoyed it. However, he thought that it would get more love/attention under my care. We talked several months ago about it, but I haven't had time to make room for it until now. This is the story about how I got my my new tiny turtle!

I’ve been planning to adopt this Loggerhead Musk Turtle since March, but I haven’t had the time to do so until recently. I’m really excited to share it with you, though, because this is a really interesting species! Even just from the short amount of time, he’s been with me, I can already tell he’s a great addition to the lineup. That said, he needs a name! What do you think we should name him? Let me know, and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

@HateHater2205 Год назад

Can we see another out door project soon?

@galveenus8499 Год назад

Terry

@leonardoalfonso7080 Год назад

You should name him Muddy

@shelly6919 Год назад

Don’t know why but when you showed him first time. I was like he looks like a Kenny. Looked up name meaning it’s mean Handsome. Yep he is.

@chanterelle483 Год назад

I'd name it Gingerbread/Ginger, since its shell looks a bit like it and you already have Cookie. Yes, I like sweets, why do you ask? lol

@purplethunda8863 Год назад

If you've got Cookie, who will get very large, then it only seems fitting that the other turtle, who will stay very small, be named Crumb

@lynniewood Год назад

Lol i love it, great idea

@KaregoAt Год назад

Aww I love it!

@foxxiangel6384 Год назад

100%

@meganjane4897 Год назад

PERFECT

@melemisu3259 Год назад

Love it!

''Soo i ended up with another turtle'' Truly the most normal and casual moment in Serpa's existence.

@graefx Год назад

His head popping out of the leaves was adorable. Its amazing how much the tannins in the water enhance the look of the setup.

@AquariumInfo Год назад

What a cutie!! Love your new bb 🐢

@Uninterested69420 Год назад

Ayo

@shelbythurman9631 Год назад

When he popped his lil head up at 9:02 😭❤️ He's so cute and this build is awesome, as always.

@wilmawyatt2263 Год назад

It looks amazing! I love the botanicals for hiding and snuffling. ... Though foraging is probably a better term for the underwater bit. I'd probably name him Kenny - as in Kenny Loggins.

@BunzJackson Год назад

so corny it just might work

@kennethjorgensen6703 Год назад

I second that...not biased or anything though

@dfal6898 Год назад

What a beautiful home you created for him! Well done Serpa!

@leafystreet Год назад

Ur making me want turtles

@GregsTurtleHaven Год назад

Call him “Crunch” 😂 Thanks for giving him a great home!

@rekapeace6936 Год назад

Sounds good as well!

@nancydenmark1614 Год назад

I love the effort you put into making an interactive habitat for your new turtle even though it’s a temporary home for him. They are such active creatures so I look forward to seeing the next iteration you create for this little guy. If you don’t pick Roosevelt as his name you could always name him after his breeder.

@Emugron Год назад

My six your old daughter loves your channel, she thinks "Musky" would be a good name.

@jlee1072 Год назад

7:34 ‘I’ve actually seen this turtle in person before’… so cute, I’m glad the turtle will be well cared for 😊😊😊

@beccab1006 Год назад

The amount I smile when I see you uploaded another video, and then it's a turtle as well!? Seeing how much you care for your animals makes me so happy.

@Ashley88. Год назад

This ⬆️!

@chanterelle483 Год назад

Yay, another video, another cute creature! PS: would love to see an update on Cookie if possible

@loriw2661 Год назад

He’s sooooo cute!! And I loved watching him sitting on the cork bark looking around at his new home. That’s one lucky turtle!🐢❤️🐢

@sparrowsfish Год назад

The first image of the turtles looking around the tank warmed my heart!!!!

@_topshelf_5845 Год назад

Dr. Plants then Serpa right after?!?!? SWEET!

@jereksliwinski2789 Год назад

It’s gonna be a good day 👍

@xenaM22 Год назад

Awesome setup! Your care for your animals is so evident. When I think of wood loggers, i think of Paul Bunyan!. Lol

@jasonacevedo5629 Год назад

Amazing setup, truly inspiring ! He looks as comfortable and at peace in his setup as you do making all of your scapes, name him Tanner

@judymckerrow6720 Год назад

Monty. Thank you Tanner.🌸💚🙃

@krisbaker9427 Год назад

I didn’t think I would like this one. What a happy surprise, I loved it. You are so good, Tanner!

@anthonya7497 Год назад

Your videos, scapes and passion are my favorite part of the weekend

@toms2508 Год назад

Amazing job on this new habitat. He looked so at home in it right away. Logan might be a sweet name for him.

@kimthompson1618 Год назад

That turtle hit the life jackpot. Welcome to the new digs at Sherpa HQ .

@kimthompson1618 Год назад

Serpa dang autocorrect

@mntryjoseph1961 Год назад

The enclosure is fantastic! Well done, Tanner.

@badmotherhumper Год назад

Little Foot! Awesome settup great tempered glass drillability demo keep rockin

@thescaledraven5482 Год назад

This is adorable and it is fascinating to watch him look around his new environment, great job!

@ten-tonnetongue Год назад

9:01 Haha - his little face poking out from the leaves. 🥰

@timothygreer188 Год назад

I watch a lot of RU-vid videos but you are one of the only conten creaters that I don't bother with busy work while I do.

@michaelmckenzie6983 Год назад

Amazing setup as always! Absolutely love your videos. He looks like a Hank to me.

@housemami66 Год назад

So seamless, beautiful and species friendly as always, Tanner. But yet every new setup of yours is an adventure, love this curious little turtle

@eden2864 Год назад

Oh my goodness, why do I find this turtle so cute?!?! ❤

@H3_Chill Год назад

I think Sparky would be a cute name because his spotting looks like a dalmatian and he kind of moves around the tank like a puppy.

@mspeir Год назад

That's a gorgeous set up! Well done! The tannins from the leaves tint the water nicely.

@chaibee3788 Год назад

What a happy little guy! Looks like he really likes his new home :) As for a name, how about Jaws?

@gublergubler777 Год назад

I think Cornelius would be a charming name for him 🐢❤ he is in expert hands and I hope you keep us updated on him!

@allthumbs3792 Год назад

You are AMAZING! You think through every step and your experience really turns out fantastic projects! Happy home for this cute little fellow!

@INGIE32 Год назад

As always an absolutely amazing build. And the turtle is so cute. Seeing him explore the tank was absolutely adorable.

@racheleichinger6472 Год назад

I thought it was really cool that he was shipped to you so here are some name suggestions that go with that: Stig, kinda silly but it is a Norse name that means wanderer or... Hugh, German for bright in mind and spirit. love the setup!

@lilitharam44 Год назад

Aww, he's so cute! Congratulations on your new edition! You've made him a very pretty and natural home.

@lupa4262 Год назад

He's so cute!! What a lucky little guy to have such a beautiful home and loving keeper!

@capnskustomworks 11 месяцев назад

What a happy-looking little turt now!!! How adorable!

@daniellee8935 Год назад

Love the hardscape layout with cork bark, minimal planting, and botanicals. It looks very natural. I know the main star of the video is the musk turtle, but I wanted to offer a suggestion for a new animal that you could house in the future: a budgett's frog.

@MsLeenite Год назад

What a sweetheart! And so much personality. I'd name him Lincoln, for Lincoln Logs. "Link" for short.

@whitneymosley3421 Год назад

He looks like peppy little guy. So sweet!

@mrmouse-ol9pw Год назад

As a snake keeper I'm always working on making the enclosures best for the animal never taking into consideration how it looks to me. Fascinating to be able to do both!

@ArcaneGinger Год назад

What a pretty turtle! And he matches so lovely in his new home! I'd call him Transit! Or Elvis.. since he was "All Shook Up!" 😁😉🙃

@sharim Год назад

So many good names! I think I like Crumb or Roosevelt, the best. As always, your build is spectacular and your instruction superb. I could watch your videos, 24 x 7.

@themurrrr Год назад

What an adorable little guy ❤

@heatheryarbrough5255 Год назад

Beautiful habitat. You knocked it out of the ball park again. Thanks for another great video

@lionessoftor4139 Год назад

Simply gorgeous. I love this! It's like a little slice of nature. I would love to have something similar one day. Congrats on the new turtle. He's beautiful. For a name if his head does get big you could name him Megamind. It was a great movie. Also for some reason I think calling him Moose would fit. That's just the vibe I got from him.

@sarahadkins6315 Год назад

Love it. It is a beautiful setup he’s is so curious the name George seems fitting.

@meaganskinner8565 Год назад

So beautiful! My first pet ever was a Carolina box turtle named George ❤.

@MDestron2282 Год назад

I had some musk turtles about 20 years ago but they were dark brown. This one has absolutely beautiful vibrant colors. I love it!

@DanTheTurtleMan_ Год назад

Looking good buddy!!!

@kennethsatria6607 Год назад

His reaction to the new home is precious

@cherishireland9194 Год назад

He's amazing. He looks lonely in there. I don't know if they live with other things well though lol. For a name I feel like trooper is a good one. Or Goober. He has a cute as heck goober kind of face. I don't know why that one comes to mind. He's so awesome. I hope he's happy in his new place.

@kristinewatson3702 Год назад

He looks so happy in his new home.

@musicalmarion Год назад

I like Kenny too, as in "Kenny get out of there?" Beautiful tank Connor ! 🌿🐢

@Boney0ne Год назад

Oh geez, seeing him moving around in the tank, I was in tears! He's just such a cute lil guy!

@thethrifteddragon8157 Год назад

Loved watching this build and seeing your turtle enjoying it. Name vote for Pecan. Since he's a turtle, and turtles have chocolate, caramel and pecans in them!! Plus, his shell is a bit Pecan looking;-)

@invaderzimismyfav Год назад

I love this! So sweet and that turtle is so cute

@cocozimme Год назад

Beautiful musk, I wish more RU-vidrs did turtle content

@BuzzKora Год назад

i love turtles and struggle to find good ideas to inspire me on my own turtle aquarium, its so nice to see more and more turtle content on your channel as those silly devil creatures will destroy anything they can move ahah thanks for the amazing video once again

@TheHeadown Год назад

What an awesome setup for that adorable little turtle.

@evolution_ethos Год назад

"Wedge" would be a good name. That's a tool used to split wood, and is basically an extra wide axe head, which would be a good reference to the oversized head.

@swiggydiggy Год назад

09:36 - "scooter" popped into my head immediately. I wasnt even thinking about it.

@johannvandebron986 Год назад

Doesn't he need other Turtles? Absolutely like both. The Turtle and the Setup. Great Job.

@erikasanchez7972 Год назад

He is super cute. Crumbs PS crumbs home is totally awesome

@mphillips4324 Год назад

As a child, I used to catch turtles at a local lake. I once caught a large musk turtle that I lovingly named "Big Head Fred." Unfortunately, Fred was eaten by raccoons one night. It would be great if you can name this beautiful turtle the same name so the spirit of Big Head Fred can live on!

@Parakeetwilds Год назад

Absolutely beautiful naturalistic habitat Tanner. The Musk Turtle looks so healthy and gorgeous! I can think of 3 very fitting names for this little fella: Ivory, Speck(les) or since Cookie is going get quite big, it makes sense to name the little one Crumbles ^_^ I can not wait until you add fish to his Aquarium ( I keep Danios and Endler guppies with my Musk turtle with no problems) ;) Love your channel and always look forward to updates! Cheers Pirmin Jäger

@gahlenfr Год назад

I would go with Fritz. Great job btw. Thanks for sharing your content with us!

@maanavpatel Год назад

I’m so glad that ur making more turtle videos Tanner!

@paulmuadib8955 Год назад

Lol at that zoom. Amazing

@Kevin_Brazie Год назад

Well done, Tanner!

@littlemidwestrebornsdolls Год назад

I love the beautiful home you created for him. 🐢 Gina

@carolynstromer8915 Год назад

He’s adorable and his new home is perfect!!

@maxedoutexoticsnz Год назад

its 2am in nz, but its always worth it for u serpadesign

@OggVorbis Год назад

Incredible. What a lucky turtle. 🥰

@JP-hl9cv Год назад

Ugh this is so amazing!! And he is so handsome!!! Love!!!

@kinshasa2001 Год назад

Another amazing scape! For some reason the turtle looks like "Gizmo" to me. Hope you find a name that suits you both

@stampinturtles Год назад

Beautiful habitat for him. I hope he thrives in his new home. You could have a live video to name him. Highest bidder wins. That’s what Luke’s Goldies does. People are crazy! They spend $100s to name a fish!
