Great video, My wife and I went to the Galápagos Islands over twenty years ago it was awesome. We seen the breeding facilities and Lonesome George not to mention the rest of the wildlife. Once in a life time trip, recommend it to anyone.
Me too bro I saw an Aldabra at anaheim reptile super show but it was 1500$ and also I already have a diamondback terrapin and a desert tortoise so even if it were cheaper i wouldnt be able to get it sadly.
So awesome to see your new additions to the family. What an honor to be gift such cute baby Galapagos tortoises. Will be fun watching them grow in your care. Your girls made it even more fun just by seeing their excitement when you picked them up how cute. Thank you for that adventure this Sunday morning. GOD BLESS 🐢💖🐢💖🐢💖
I just started watching your channel. You guys are awesome for the work you do. Plus what a legacy for your daughters. Keep posting videos as it’s public awareness that will save these wonderful animals
That's amazing beautiful, I would really like to see a video on how you house them in winter. Thank you and your family for what you are doing. Keep up the great work.
Galoposaureses! Galapogases! The girls are the BEST! Instilling a love of all testudae in particular, and animals in general, is such a gift for their whole lives. Thank you for bringing us all along on your incredible life adventures
This video touched my heart in a special way today. Thanks you the Leone family. You are an inspiration to all reptile keepers and people in general. Keep up the great work fam and have a blessed day!
Awesome video, Chris and Casey! Wow, what a couple of gifts in Jack and Sally!! And what a pleasure to see Mickey’s growth. GST is indeed blessed to have the giants of the turtle world … the Aldabra Tortoise and the Galapagos Tortoise!!! 🐢🐢🐢
Great video as always-full of fascinating information! You’re all so blessed and lucky to be living this lifestyle and to have been gifted such beautiful tortoises. Can’t wait to watch them grow!
what amazing and beautiful animals,of course I would love to own a Galapagos tortoise,aldabra and a sea turtle but that's a far away dream,however I do have the world's 3rd largest...sulcata/African spur thighed tortoise..newyear is a 6 year old male,I also have a 21 year old female red eared slider,a 15 year old female eastern ornate box turtle and a baby 3 striped mud turtle,I found her in a parking lot and I don't believe in taking nature home but I wasn't going to leave her there she is so tiny!! but wow you have some awesome turtles and tortoises,I love your videos,you guys are a sweet family and I don't want to leave OTIS out,what an amazing little guy,my box turtle will let u hold her for a little bit and then gets squirmy, but she will fall asleep in my husband's lap while he's watching TV lol,the RES has her own pond outside and part of the yard belongs to the sulcata and RES and he has a huge yard,so we still have the other side of the house to work with,the mud turtle lives inside and the box turtle she has her own area outside but we bring her inside a lot because here in Florida the summer temps have been brutal!!! sorry for writing you a novel,Otis really loves u,what a sweet and unique little guy 🐢
That’s some awesome looking baby Galaps. But yes, you better cut down on them ice cream or else those Galaps will be tossing you around in couple of years.
The biggest tortoise I have encountered was at the Zanzibar Sanctuary...they were beautiful. Not sure what specie but I think the sea turtles there are endangered. 💚💫
Good luck with the new galaposuarus’s! Can you link 3 JR’s you tube channel below? I see a lot of folks on RU-vid, like yourselves, breeding diminishing species of tortoises and turtles in captivity, but I rarely see any of the, being released back in the wild to try to re-establish/sustain wild populations (except for the good work you do with the terrapins in NJ). Why is this? Are we too early in the conservation efforts for these slow growing species?
If you want a giant tortoise you are better off just moving to Florida or Arizona. There are breeders in both of those states and they can be kept outside almost the entire year which will save on electric bills. In a place like Arizona you gotta add humidity by wetting down the enclosure though.
I recommend the dehakim aviary channel Even you have to go to Indonesia to look for tropical forest plants Those who come from Sumatra, Kalimantan and Papua.
This makes me curious what genetics Kenan's Galops have ... 3j's should test Kenan's torts to see if either of his females have viable genetics for the study!!
I love you channel!!! The work you do and the way you explain things shows you have a great knowledge of, and caring mentality for, all animals. Keep up the great work!!! P.S. Be careful of that Forrest Galante, he is a pathological liar and does everything for his own fame!! Look into his background and the claims he’s made and you’ll see.
