We’re back at it with TOAD RANCH CAGES to bring you another epic build! This time we’re building the ultimate living system for a special little turtle named “La Cay!” La Cay is a Vietnamese black-breasted leaf turtle (Geoemyda spengleri) and happens to be one of the world’s smallest known turtle species! “Spengleri”, as many call them, are inquisitive, fast moving, spunky turtles with a ton of attitude. They love plants and places to hide so it’s easy to create an incredible, fully functional bioactive enclosure for one. Learn tips and tricks in this video and get ready for the big reveal!

"Lucky" is a real cool turtle ... 😅😂 We have these @ Toledo Zoo! ... bring the kids to Toledo zoo to see Baru the largest saltwater croc in the US (2013)

No one more deserving that you guys and the beautiful tortoises and turtles at your Rescue

@brendaz9222 Год назад

I love his little googly eyes 😅

@loriw2661 Год назад

🐢He is sooo cute! What a beautiful enclosure! It’s obvious why you won the Snake Discovery build-off. 🐢❤️🐢

@GardenStateTortoise Год назад

Thank you Lori 😄

@puddingnut Год назад

This is so awesome! I am Vietnamese so seeing an animal from my country featured on your channel is such a great pleasure. I love how you named him as well! "Lá Cây" means "leaf" in Vietnamese. Sadly, this beautiful species is at risk of extinction due to habitat loss and poaching. Thank you for keeping this little guy healthy and happy at GST!

@kitty7128 11 месяцев назад

Has to be one of the cutest turtles I have ever seen. Almost looks like a cartoon turtle. His new home is so beautiful.

I hope we get to see a lot more of La Cay. He’s fascinating!! ❤

@alaskangirl7675 Год назад

Wow! This is the turtle I’ve wanted since I first learned about them a couple years ago. Gorgeous enclosure!

@kat66meow Год назад

I just can’t believe he truly has googly eyes! He is just so utterly adorable! My heart lies with Otis but LaKai is pretty darn cute! This video was so much fun!🖤🐈‍⬛🖤😻🖤

@Oozywolf Год назад

Looks exactly like you cut a chunk of the earth out and put it into a box. What a nice place for him to live!

@ellenlynch7398 Год назад

You're amazing individuals turtle homes that you have in your yard looks like a very wealthy human subdivision. Congratulations on being the world's best turtle whisper

@GardenStateTortoise Год назад

Wow thank you Ellen!

@1969longshanks Год назад

Aren't you going to at springtails, woodlice and other bugs?

@GardenStateTortoise Год назад

Plenty in there including powder blue isopods. Just didn’t make to the video but we’ve shown them in several of our other bioactive builds.

@juliepeterson6880 Год назад

This is my dream turtle with my dream enclosure. I have watched this several times. I just love each of your videos. I learn so much. Thank you. :)😍

@ashtonjones5768 Год назад

What a cutie. He looks like Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon..

@32446 Год назад

Lovely enclosure 👏👏

@meloneyparker Год назад

Amazing enclosure, it's truly impressive!

@cara9648 Год назад

This enclosure is absolutely beautiful; I want to live in it!

@AvengerII Год назад

The little Vietnamese fellow still isn't as bizarre as Otis! Stay tuned, kaiju survivors, Mecha-Otis is in your future!!!

@chelseamorning608 Год назад

love the live plants and having a pond instead of a water dish!

@The.Bees.Knees. Год назад

I’m getting a garden setup for a Hermanns tortoise. I really want to adopt one from a rescue. Would you consider doing a video on what to look for when adopting a tortoise? Health, how to find a reputable rescue, what to ask when adopting, changing diet, etc.

@cheryl_vr Год назад

What an absolute paradise for La Cay’s home! You’re the best enclosure designers & Toad Ranch have amazing stuff. I wish they were in the UK!

@AmyAutrey 11 месяцев назад

Cutest turtle I've ever seen

@denisepacetti4559 Год назад

OMG how cute! LaCay is a lucky little guy for sure. Keep your awesome videos and tutorials on our favorite reptiles coming, Chris, I just enjoy them so much. Lovely enclosure looks very real so kudos to Toad Ranch.

@cathyburke5286 Год назад

You did a great job pulling this together

@jens1856 Год назад

Great video content!! Interesting 👍👍👍

@Cocacabanabudgets Год назад

My heart is melting- if they only knew how much love goes into these enclosures- it’s stunning and he blends in with the leaves 😊 I think Otis may have some competition 😂❤

@LuckyStone888 Год назад

Thank you for sharing this build

@WillieWeed Год назад

Took 1 day to build is a little misleading. Maybe to assemble. Absolutely ❤️ the 👀 new little 🐢🥰

@GardenStateTortoise Год назад

Thanks! We actually didn’t write that it took one day to build anywhere. All it says is that it took one day on the thumbnail because from start to finish, assembly, building the interior and adding anything extra things to it were all done in less than a 24 hour span. 👍🏻

@beckylister3495 Год назад

This is beautiful and thank you for shopping at Lowes!

@zelda4lifeschramm 11 месяцев назад

Lakai is so amazing!!Such a gooey eyed boi❤

@katlady567 Год назад

You make the most beautiful bioactive enclosures. ❤

@JokerrJKR Год назад

That’s awesome I always try to use my scrap EPDM liner for small projects

@mell.2144 Год назад

Cutest tiny turtle ever!!! 🥰 Thanks for sharing his amazing enclosure! Hoping one day I can afford a Toad Ranch enclosure for my RES turtle

@stephanieb7311 Год назад

Beautiful enclosure! Thankyou for putting in such effort for this little guy and his friends.

@danriley5848 Год назад

Excellent job on the enclosure and I plan on ordering something myself from them because they are really nicely made.

@Sequoyah_7 11 месяцев назад

You are not only a reptile whisperer, but a vivarium artist. 😀

@jeanninelockridge5235 Год назад

Looks like La Cay enjoyed his worm😋 What a beautiful home. I'd be happy there❤

@poempadgett4664 Год назад

🪱 👀 Edit: That enclosure is just gorgeous - that’s one lucky little turtle! Will he get a roommate/s?

@tamarrajames3590 Год назад

This is a stunning habitat for a beautiful little turtle, his eyes are amazing. Will there be food insects living in there, or just regular feedings in a more controlled way? He is going to love his new kingdom.🖤🇨🇦

@KxNOxUTA Год назад

What an amazing video! And cute turtle! I love that pond and that you adressed my concerns inregards to it :'D

@pawang_game_id 10 месяцев назад

Superb!

@ububay101 5 месяцев назад

Just subscribed! Rescued my own painted turtle a month ago and hes doing great :))

@16gero95 Год назад

Is there any chance we could get a list of plants used in the enclosure on videos like this?

@RC_Murphy Год назад

He looks so impossibly tiny in there! LOVE the setup! How much climbing do you think he'll do? The pair we had at the local zoo could climb almost to the top of their thin waterfall, and we could never figure out how the heck they managed it.

@jessecunningham9924 Год назад

My favorite turtles!

@RoseCityReptilesTX Год назад

Man, that turned out great!

@GardenStateTortoise Год назад

Thanks man! Hope all is going well with the new set up.

@Lucas_chen888 3 месяца назад

bro your so under rated

@stampinturtles Год назад

So cute and I love the set up! ❤🐢 are you going to add some springtails and isopods?

@GardenStateTortoise Год назад

Thank you and yes we did. 😄

@RotalHenricsson Год назад

i wish i had the funds and arm length to give my boy a naturalistic wall picture like that... but he'd probably try to eat it

@wishywashy1153 Год назад

A little off topic but your skin looks great!

What temperature do you keep Le Cay at? What’s the temp gradient in the enclosure?

@PDXLibertarian Год назад

Quick! Another Consumer Opportunity! I can buy a cage!!!

@brandonharman6267 Год назад

I have a Chinese box turtle that I would like to put in a larger bio active enclosure. The lighting may need to be a little different but other than that I’m guessing these plants would also be safe for him too? Thanks

@HappyHermanni Год назад

Hey there! I was just wondering how you get the backdrop. I was just about to order the 6x2x2 ft enclosure and was wondering how I could select that option? Amazing video as always!

@ReptiliaRock Год назад

Chris, where do you get your bioactive substrate, cork bark, and leaf litter?

@deenblitzed28 9 месяцев назад

Do you need to fertilise the plants inside this setup?

@melg8475 4 месяца назад

how do you change the water in this enclosure?

@janetleegreen8891 Год назад

Wormies !!!!! 😂😂

@iliadkung977 Год назад

Can someone tell me what the plant appearing at 8‘’3' is?

@robustdelirium9277 Год назад

Me: Man I love swords and guns and castles and science experiments and video games! youtube algorithm: Hey. Turtles. and now I have another subscription… some one needs to invent the 30 hour day.

@chezmoi42 Год назад

I know, I just fell into a similarly fascinating channel with octupuses (octopi?). They are amazing little critters.

@kat1984 Год назад

Does the tropical bioactive soil come with all of the live insects needed to maintain a bioactive enclosure?

@GardenStateTortoise Год назад

No, they have to be added. We added springtails and powder blue isopods.

@_KingSando_ 4 месяца назад

Where can I find a captive breeder in the US that I can adopt one of these cool turtles?

@b7151ng37 Год назад

What type of isopods did you use?

@GardenStateTortoise Год назад

Powder blues

@nickwilliams147 6 месяцев назад

where can I find one of these turtles????

@jasonmonkas8690 9 месяцев назад

Beautiful enclosures, but ill have to get a 2nd job to afford one

@Melbatoasty Месяц назад

What are the rest of the plants?

@Cookie-ri9pz Год назад

I was just curious, but do you get state or federal funding because it seems to me you should. I hope you do. ✌️

@WHO_499 Месяц назад

We’re u got those plants at

@WHO_499 Месяц назад

And can I use it in my fish tank?

@user-nm1or1bp9f Год назад

Hello. I am watching your video. I raise box turtles. My turtle limps and won't eat. Other turtles did the same. Can you tell me why or how to treat it?

@SaltyApple435 Год назад

First ( I think)

@Sea-cucumber1151 Год назад

I thought all aquatic turtles had to eat in the water. I guess not! Never mind, he is not an aquatic turtle, he just looks like it!❤😊 or maybe he is both! Pretty cool!
