This is what we need. No harm, no previous abuse, just a man and his turtle. THAT is what I call friendship.
I'm cool with this as long as this turtle has a proper basking area and tank. I know a few too many people would act as if their turtles were dogs while neglecting basic requirements. Heck, I my coworker just had a box turtle did after 15 years. I wasn't surprised, dude had no idea or interest in providing a proper basking lamp.
Sure, maybe if there's a sunny room with a normal window they could basking under natural sunlight from indoors, but unless they live outside in the yard, they need proper lighting.
P.S. I still wish my turtles were more cooperative with my bs, but I still love them. 🐢 🐢 🐢
@@DJRonnieG As a turtle owner, I agree! Your turtles sound fun by the way :)
Well said!
@@DJRonnieG if I did what this guy is doing my tortoise would bite my eyeball off. Ever since we moved he has been trying to bite me. Won't even eat out of my hand like he used to. Just goes for my fingers.
never seen a turtle so attached to a human before. that's wholesome!
My male turtle does the same they could be very affectionate.
A friend of mind long long time ago had a turtle named Turtlelina. She was also very affectionate, moved fast, and she would even danced whenever she heard music. She was truly one of a kind. I just wish I knew what type of turtle she was, bcuz this turtle reminds me of her and would love to own one myself.
Reptiles are not capable of love & affection even though it may seem like it
@@Prashant-xl1rv that's literally what this turtle is doing tho
@@Prashant-xl1rv did you not see the video? 🤔
I like the fact that it is a red eared slider, which is considered a “throw away” / “boring generic” turtle. This shows how much love is all around us, and how far kindness and attention can go.
Red eared slider turtles are the best! 😁 I've had mine going on 6 years! 🐢♥️
+30 years with my slider here
in Brazil and happy about it !
It's considered exotic around here, since we've got our own native, Amazonic species - called "Tigre d'Água, or Water Tiger, in Portuguese, Green and Yellow, just like our National Flag.
I can guarantee it's anything but "boring".
Fella does everything that cutie in the vid
can do and quite a lot more.
Yet, I don't advise folks on getting one,
since it might be expensive or otherwise
hard to raise it well and appropriately.
Btw, I've also got a beautiful, ~30yo "Jabuti",
the multicoloured Brazilian Tortoise species!
I got 3 RES, my babies
My girl, snappy, stayed with me over 20 years. R.I.P. snappy
Nothing generic about that guy.
I had three of these guys. Sadly they got stolen cause my mom's stupid boyfriend left them outside the porch when I was in school...
But they were my best friends. They followed me like these guys, and even slept in my arms. They also live a while too, 50+ years. So they're friends for life.
I hope mine have a good home..
@ Joeyblondewol...So sorry for your loss!! I would be very upset too! Let's pray they have a good home...😔💗🐢🐢🙏
@Joeyblondewolf2. Im sorry for your loss 🙏🖤 I pray God heals your heart & anguish 🐢💜
It would of been better if the boyfriend had left some people have no respect for other people's things I know how you feel .I'm sorry you lost pets that mean so much to you that really hurts .
If someone thought your turtles were cute enough to steal, it's probably the "crazy animal lady/guy/individual" of the neighborhood, which means they're probably getting better love and care than most people
Very sorry for your loss... I hope they're safe and doing well
*The best people in the world tend to be those who are kind towards ALL animals*
This is totally true!!
*OMG!!!* I could not have said it any better! 💞💕💜🥰😇
@@MammaMia5668
Emphasis on "All"
Kindness is a weakness to the indecent but virtuous to the decent.
I think the best people in the world are all animals ;)
I have never seen a bond like this between a turtle and a human before. Wow! Need more videos like this please!
Who would of thought. I just left mines in a smelly tank most the time because I didn't know better.
It happens a lot. People just don’t appreciate reptiles, because of BS “science” (not actual science, just hypotheses) claiming they don’t have feelings.
You should learn how to take care of a pet before getting one. The tank smell was because you needed to clean it. Would you keep pooping in your toilet and leave it there?
@@DianePeace420 yeah yeah. I was a kid, too small to carry. And I kept them in there cuz I thought they needed to be in the water, lol 🤷♂
You must look up:. Garden State Tortoise. "Otis" the Box Turtle acts like this. It's amazing. Is there a connection of how they were hatched or raised?
I had a similar relationship with a box turtle when I was a kid - the turtle would take naps with me, follow me around, and even watch t.v. - it's crazy how smart they are, and no one ever talks about them
I had heard that reptiles don't have the part of their brain that makes emotions. Clearly that was wrong!
How did you get the turtle comfortable with handling? It would be amazing if I could take my red eared slide out even just for tank cleanings because she will not tolerate being held for more than a minute. She also hates shell touching, my mom was taking her out and was touching the algae and she literally propelled herself out of the hand and back into the tank. Luckily she was not hurt but I just want to make her more comfortable with handling in general. She’s an adult, maybe a bit older and we got her a little more than a year ago. I have just learned to not waste time in getting her up and out into the temp tank.
@@hellolamb1391 Tbh, some of the box turtles I had growing up were all wild. But it took lots of handling, feeding some foods by hand (be careful), and just building general trust. All animals have different personalities as well. Not all of them are going to be as receptive
...we totally get it, nearly 24 years together and counting. ❤️
We've been sharing our friendship for decades now! Human/turtle bonds do exist! ❤️
No idea that turtles could imprint like this. This man/turtle relationship will last longer than most marriages. Simply amazing. 👴🐢
Yea mine is really scittish and awkward eventhough I raised him for 9 years
We've been sharing our friendship for decades now! Human/turtle bonds do exist! ❤️
My girl is 34, they do imprint, recognize your face(they have great eye sight) and can know your voice.
Amazing creatures.
@@lilyanne2676 Do you " Beat " your turtle ?
Depending on the species could be 20+ years some specie even 50+ so yeah a long friendship 😁😄
I've had desert tortoises my entire life. Their level of intelligence is vastly underrated. They recognize people they know their names. They Know What Love Is
I had tortoise when I was younger (a lot younger in my case) anyway we called it speedy..yeah I know there's a bunch of speedys out there. Is your tortoise one of those little kids get to put in a habitat? Yours is pretty big if it is. Love is just looking at your eyes..
Every single animal knows what love is, but humans just underestimate them all the time and it’s so wrong
I want to know what love is. I want you to show me. I want to feel what love is. I want you to show me. 😉
@@k1llabr4t Do insects know what love is? Don't think they do.
Yeah I have turtles as well and the one I have the longest always comes running when he sees me and follows me around ^^
I've never seen a turtle act more like a parrot! Such an affectionate little guy. 💙
this turtle must be protected at all costs
All sentient creatures seem to be capable of forming bonds with humans, giving a bond like that a chance to grow comes with a great reward.
Because they have feelings just like us
No, not all sentient creatures, and no, most do not have feelings like us. Sheesh.
@@The_InfantMalePollockFrancis that little guy has one! He was human before he asked God to be reborn as a turtle 😇
@@hapwn That’s amazing! What evidence did you find to prove that gods exist and living things get reborn as other living things? You don’t just believe dumb bullshit for no reason, right?
@@The_InfantMalePollockFrancis lol and this is based on your career as a biologist? We barely understand our own brains but somehow, in 2022, we’ve managed to unlock all the secrets of sentience, consciousness and intelligence? Yeah, no, grow up.
Fun fact, turtles can feel their shells, and they have a hard time reaching itchy spots. You can buy or diy a 360 scratching tunnel/stand for their backs and sides. They LOVE it.
I've seen someone scratch a turtle's shell with a toothbrush, and the turtle did the same little butt-shake dance 🥰
I was curious about that! Thanks!
Some tortoises love the feel of rain on their shells and will do a "rain dance"...
i never would have thought a turtle would be capable of such things, simply beyond amazing.
Well... i think turtles are capable of many things...they ve been around many more years than us... or dogs or cats... better not to underestimate them!
Truly inspiring that we can have such close relationships with so many different types of creatures. This was adorable.
I never thought reptiles would have personalities until my daughter got 2 box tortoises. She went off to college so mom inherited the torties. They are so sweet and absolutely hilarious. Kato my our dog Capone have the sweetest relationship and Petunia is a big bossy girl who chases the dogs cause she can lol. She LOVES strawberries and Kato loves watermelon. I figured when my daughter finished college she'd want them back but she saw how much we all loved them so they stayed with us. So besides the 2 torties I have 3 dogs my son gave us due to his work schedule and the 2 Bengals my other daughter got then realized all they require she brought them to Mama. So they all keep me busy too say the least but I love every minute of it
God bless you for your commitment to, & loving them like family.
Hope your kids realize pets are for life & are like having small children for their entirety.
So, much time, responsibilities & love, all goes w/their wonderfully incredible package.
Leave the raising & care of them to you. Refrain from getting more. ;)
you are amazing!
That's great you take care of the animals your stupid kids keep hoarding then dumping.
So ur home is a mini zoo.
🥰🥰
This is the calmest male turtle I've ever seen! They're usually quite skittish and awkward like most other male reptiles. This is freakin adorable!!!
I have a yellow belly slider and his name is Loui and he is so affectionate like this one is . I have him in a pond behind my house and he has a huge goldfish as his best friend 😂 he follows him everwhere
Extrovert
@@harrybalzahk you can identify what sex they are by their tails. Males have thick long tails and females have short skinny tails
@Speed Services I sure will! ☺️ when I first got him some feeder fish from the pet store they slipped a goldfish that was a small size also and he ate all his feeder fish but never touched the goldfish! I named him Lure . Because he is such a big gold fish now he looks like a big fishing lure😂 he was fed turtle food in the mix so I guess he grew 10x bigger is what I’m guessing. But I was so shocked he never nipped at him he’s just so fascinated by him and he will sleep right under the goldfish at night it’s so cute. I’ve watched them grow together from a 25 gallon tank to now a pond I recently got put in for them . ☺️
@@mariasparks5678 I've had my red ear slider turtles(Bicep & Tricep) for 19 years and I've always thought they were female,now looking at the tales I think they are males🤦🏽♀️🤣💜
I hope he has a succession plan for his turtle because they live a long time. This turtle deserves a legacy of people to treat him the exact same loving way.❤️
There is something so pure when you connect emotionally with a different species
sixty two years on this earth l have never seen anything like this, this is so cute and turtally amazing
"The good and great must ever shun/ That reckless and abandoned one/ Who stoops to perpetrate a pun.". --Lewis Carroll
Just kidding, that was a cute one.
I'm 65 and agree, I've never seen anything like this with a turtle!! Watched thousands and thousands of animal videos of all types over the years and this might be the cutest relationship I've ever seen!!!
I recently found another example like this. Look up YT video “Otis the turtle”. So cute.
That is absolutely adorable I've never seen a turtle move that fast before, that is definitely one special little fella🐢 All animals have a soul
i forgot i was watching this in 2x speed and i was damn he's bookin it.
oh they're fast when they want to be. The slowness is a myth.
My turtle swims so so fast! He also runs super fast, haha.
Turtles actually can be very fast when they want to. When I was young I had a box turtle and when I would let him outside in the garden, he would go so fast I would have to run and catch him before he made it through the hole in the fence :)
Agreed. I believe that animals, just like people, have a soul contract. They chose their life.
Straight up, that video made my day. Lil dude is quick yo. When he raised his arm up I almost cried. Brings me joy knowing the lil turt is living such a happy life.
I have NEVER seen such an affectionate turtle. I had no idea they would do that. That is seriously one of the cutest, sweetest interactions I've ever seen.
Turtle: "I have the weirdest partner a guy could ever have, but I love him and he's a keeper.''
I had a turtle like this, Slow Poke. I used to use a toothbrush to scratch her shell and clean it. She reacted just like this guy, she LOVED it! Slow Poke was the size of a 50-cent piece when the neighborhood kids gave her to me. She was a Western Painted Turtle. Slow Poke went from a 10-gallon to a 20-long, to a 55-gallon tank. She had everything in her turtle condo. I filled the tank up within three inches to the top as they love to dive and swim. She would create a small tsunami in the morning when she saw me get out of bed as she wanted her brine shrimp. I would let her out to roam about when I took the tank down and cleaned it. She would walk around, follow me, or the cats, and then bask in the sun with the cats. Slow Poke was like this fella, very human-oriented, never in her shell, and a turtle that was really a pet like a dog. When my friend came over with her dog, the dog would sit nose pressed to the tank, Slow Poke would see her, dive down and stick her nose to the glass to greet her furry friend. One day, after cleaning her tank, I put her back in after she wandered around. She was acting funny, so I kept a close eye on her, then she fell off her dock, into the water, and passed away. I was devastated because she was perfectly fine before I cleaned the tank as I had done for 14 years! I believe they can live up to 30 years, I even had a very loving home for her if I passed away before her. My grandchildren, my friends, and my neighbors all miss that sweet girl. So, I know how smart turtles are and how they can get attached to humans!
That must have been a terrible shock! I'm really sorry. Wonderful story to share here.
Aww, RIP SlowPoke.
Did u ever find out why poke died
Your story touched my heart 😭😭 She was such a blessing🙏🏾♥️Thank you for sharing♥️
Its a beautiful world when we look at those 2.
World looks beautiful when we see through his eyes.
Maybe the people I've known with pet turtles just didn't make the kind of EFFORT that Andrew has. But what an amazing bond he has with TripleM. Visitors to their home must watch in utter disbelief!
Most people with turtles don't really care much for them. Many keep them locked up and don't really spend time with them...treat them more like a "thing" than a living being with feelings and needs.
This story here is so, so beautiful. I watched it several times. Every animal is worth the effort. Even a little goldfish or a froggy.
waking up to wholesome dodo videos in the morning to clear my mind never fails ❤
Same 🙂
Amen!
Ain’t that the truth!😁
I have a 30 year old painted turtle that does all these things. It was so cool to see another turtle doing them too. 🥰
Amazing how he just comes running. These videos bring me so much joy
I have never seen a turtle act like that. It’s so cool to see.
Until one has loved an animal a part of his soul remain unawakened
This is the sweetest little turtle I have ever seen.
What a sweet, kind, gentle human. 💚💚💚
So sweet seeing them interact , and become the best of friends!!
Here's to MANY happy fun filled years of friendship!! 💚🐢🐢💚
🫶 I have never seen a turtle bond with a human like that, didn’t even know was possible for them to feel so much
As Sir David Attenborough would say, cold-blooded doesn't mean cold-hearted. (Watch his Life in Cold Blood series, it's fascinating!)
There's no reason why this turtle can't love his human companions the way they love him ❤️
Sir David is a legend...much as Jacque Cousteau when I was young.
Well, actually, there is a reason why that turtle cannot love his human like the human loves him; a difference in biology. Just, the attachment that turtle feels towards gis human is something vastly different then what people feel towards each other and animals; I think.
See, mammals experience deep feelings of love and companionship because of our maturation cycle. We drink our mother's milk, and she protects us; and then we are particularly social animals as well. Because we have to care for our young, and cannot abandon them like: turtles, frogs, and snakes, do, we have paternal and maternal instincts to care for things that are "cute".
Turtles don't have that. They never experience someone protecting them, except pre-birth. They are rather lonesome creatures who are not used to having anything care for them, so Mmy guess is that this turtle is either feeling a strange and ancient feeling of protection and comfort(like pre-birth), or he's decided that his dad is his mate(which is not as bad as it sounds, because it's more about the behavioral patterns; like deciding you want to spend the rest of your life with someone curled up on the couch).
Aww lovely comment
@@thesurvivorssanctuary6561 There are THOUSANDS of mammals that will abandon or even abort their own young, even humans, just because we are warm-blooded doesnt mean there's always a connection to our young. You just said all those cold-blooded creatures abandon their offspring, which isn't true. Snakes definitely wrap their bodies around their eggs, hell even crocs carry her babies in her mouth. Humans have no clue to say which animals have feelings or not.
@@thesurvivorssanctuary6561 Hell certain frogs carry all their babies on their back after they grow..
I used to work at a pet store, and we has a hermit crab that was like this. This lady that came in for dog food, was so.taken by how cute and lovable he was, got him.on sight, and got the most expensive highend food and tank etc for him lol. But really you put your hand in the tank hed come out of his shell, run to you climb up, bring him to your fave and hed look at you kinda feel your face. And you could give him pets he liked it. Its like being around his own kind made him nervous, but second he sees a human hand its game time lol.
Liccle hermit crab ❤️
Only high end quality for little 🦀 ❤️ ☺️ all he deserves
This is absolutely amazing, it's so rare that people who get turtles actually take care of them properly and it's amazing to see how much this guy loves and cares for his turtle, the world needs more turtle owners like this
I've never seen this much bond/attachment between a human and a turtle! Love it! :D
(Also love the "staring contest" going on between the two as well! xD)
i love how people are always so shocked at how intelligent and friendly turtles and tortoises can be. my tortoise is a lot like this, though admittedly no kisses for him since i fear salmonella lmao

Passed on to friends w/a rescued turtle. About the same size as this.
He has his own kiddie pool too. And great tank inside.
I will never look at him the same way. :)
My friend Amira had four red-eared sliders ( this turtle is one). Every time I came to visit, they would swim to the area of the tank I was closest to. They would follow me around like excited puppies. They were also sit in my lap when I held them.
My daughter has three turtles. A slider, croc and side neck . All three are bonded with her. I never knew turtles were such good pets. Bravo sir nice work.
I wish our beautiful animals can live forever
And that turtle can be a lifelong friend who will be with you until the end.
Red ear slider turtles are amazing I appreciate the people who are willing to put the time, money, effort, and patience to keep these generally abused and neglected reptiles!
So cute and wholesome, they have such an amazing friendship
I can see how gentle you are with him...he loves you.
This is the sweetest thing ever.
Omg this is so cute. I never knew turtles where that friendly . This channel Amazes me everyday with the unlikely friendships.
I've discovered every single species _can_ be friendly, even spiders! I kid you not!
Yes! Oliver (my turtle) is so funny.. his face looks like he’s always smiling the way he is. He can be shy but eventually will just circle around you and be very funny :)
He is developing psychological profile of his human friend..❤🐢
A life that has a animal in it is a good life. So sweet.
Thanks mom and dad
Yes, like mine! I found a turtle in the forest when walking my dog. The vet said it either fell off someone's window or someone abandoned him. Turtles are so clever, he always admired flowers in a vase, sensing it's a piece of nature indoors and he loved sitting on my chest or tummy, feeling the warmth (as if it was a warm rock in the sun), we always touched nose to nose, I never thought turtles are like that, he was so clever and so cute ❤️🐢
I've had box 🐢 in my yard 40+ yrs. Merlin n I are bonded. He's over 50 yrs old. As babies grow to adults, I care for them then release them safely.
Merlin will probably outlive me. Love my turtles. 🐢
Box turtles live for 40+ years?? I had no idea!
Dear Cassandra G. What a great story! What a great life! What a great person you are! Much respect!
I am no longer amazed or surprised at any creature that seeks or gives affection. I’ve seen boa constrictors that have a favorite person, I’ve seen tarantulas that will come hang out on your shoulder just because that’s where they want to be. I will always be moved by it though. Just awesome
Turtles are the best! I’ve had several as pets. They are really loyal and loving🥰
All animals have their own personality. I love this.
Amazing never thought a turtle could have feelings
All living creatures have feelings
All animals have feelings
You will never have a bond like that again. Cherish your time together.
that’s wonderful.
this was one of the best animal vids i have ever seen! when he ran after his daddy i about died! he is so safe with him, you can tell by his eyes. when dad holds him closely he half closes his eyes. is just in heaven. this is so so so sweet!

I had no idea you could bond with a turtle. It's so amazing to learn about animals....all creatures need love and companionship. Beautiful.
This is amazing! I have two red eared sliders (15 year old females- I’ve had them for their entire lives, too!). They are pretty smart, curious, and definitely sometimes mischievous! They are not terribly affectionate with me, but I have never handled them like this. Never too late to try! (One of them loves being outside and running through the grass, tho)
Hello Kate how are you doing today?
Sorry but arent red eared sliders aqautic like atlest semi aqautic cuz their leg structurr looks like other aqautic ones ife seen
@@nickwijkstra3774 yes. They are terrapins. Mine are mostly in the water, but they also love basking in their basking boxes I have for them under the lights (outside of their water tank). They are “semi-aquatic” because some of their life cycle is spent on land, and they often come out of the water (daily).
Aww, what a cool buddy, super cute 🤩
I'm glad to see there are others who are like this with animals.
УДИВИТЕЛЬНО!!!!
Никогда не думал, что черепахи могут настолько привязываться к человеку!!!

I've always loved me some turtles and tortoises. Such elegant and very, very sentient and self-aware. What beautiful energy this little guy has!
I also connect with something much smaller than me. My parrot. I bike with him. He is in my hat in winter. Ive never felt so complete in my life such as when i am with him. I live the miracle everyday. Im a big mamma and hes so small. Im his gentle giant.
This just warms the Cockles of my Heart! 🧡🧡🐢🧡🧡
This is sooo cute! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I never knew turtles could bond with their owners. This is really sweet. 🙂
A true love, so pure. Animals will always give you so much love, which is really rare among humans.
kind of surprised at exactly how much I loved this...
Wonderful little fellow -- I wish him a long and family life with his human family. Love sometimes appears in unexpected places and it's a joy to get to see it. Thanks for posting!
Just when l'm done with humanity 😁🐢💞🐢
I had no idea! That was eye opening. Added to the miracle of life for me.
Such a beautiful love
What a beautiful relationship that's so sweet how he looks up at his dad he's so cute!
This is too cute. I am loving it. I never realized turtles were so loving. Kind of makes me want a little turtle buddy.
I have had a red eared slider for about 6 years... She's very social, knows her name and loves to be rubbed! These little creatures are amazing!
Smart creature
