    Great video!! Most of all I appreciate the warning you shared to anyone wanting to adopt a tortoise... That they are not a "starter" pet and can be difficult to care for, and you're right that vet care is super expensive!! I also love that you highlighted their life expectancy and commitment. I love it, well done!!! 😊❤️🐢💞

    Love it! We have a Russian Tortoise who has brought so much joy to our lives. His name is Dusty. They are definitely more complicated than we initially thought but they are amazing pets that show love in their special tortoise way!

    OUTSTANDING! You’re very soothing to listen to, Chas. I appreciate your detailed and thorough video. Suuuuuuuuper helpful (& informative), as are all your “instructional” videos. Thank you for taking the time to post this. It’s an excellent resource! 👏🏼😍
    P. S. LOVE the feeding chart!

    I'm unfortunately surrounded by family members who dont take the best care of their pets
    it can really get to me sometimes since nothing I try gets them to change their animal care habits
    Its nice to see people like you take so much care to make sure that your pets have healthy happy lives

    • @through.the.lleaves

    I just bought a leopard tortise! I’m very excited. I was going to buy a heating pad to warm him at night. I know you mentioned in your video you keep your house around 70 degrees and that’s fine. I have mine around 73, but should we still have a heating pad to put in his enclosure at night?

    Great guide tyvm 😊 🙏
    although it kinda made me feel bad for not providing everything u mentioned to my tortoises mainly because many of these things aren't available in the country where I live. But I do provide them with everything that is available here hopefully it will be enough for them to stay healthy and happy. 😊
    Btw I love fig so much. Seeing him always makes me happy 🥹🥹

    Fig is so cute! I have a 4 year old Leopard named, Tina, and I love her so much. I've had her since she was about 6 mos old. I have a few questions for you!
    1. Does UV wattage matter?
    2. The hamsteer wheel makes me nervous, did you have to train Fig to use it?
    3. Did you have any issues with the faux plants being in his enclosure?

    *Just found this video! Great little tortoise, Fig.* Just got my baby red-footed tortoise and love her. My very first tortoise and I chose a high-maintenance haha! I did tons of research and got her all the necessary things for her huge terrarium. Timer for the humidity and basking, stone slab to add with the floor substrate to keep her claws trimmed. I also have a tiny tub with a rubber ducky for her daily soaks. Yes! I soak her daily because Yahya begins drinking the instant I set her in the tiny tub and 10 minutes pass and she poopies. She will come to me when she sees me and once I hold her, she begins to fall asleep. Extremely social and I've only had her a week and love her to death.
    Wonderful video and hope you visit my channel and see Yahya. The most pampered red foot on earth. 🧔🏻‍♂️❤️🐢
