  • In today's video, we'll be preparing to say goodbye to all my Black-breasted leaf turtles (Geoemyda spengleri) as they go away... into winter dormancy until spring! This is my first time properly overwintering my leaf turtles so I wanted to share my process with you all! Hope you enjoy!

    Thanks so much for watching everyone! It's going to be weird not seeing my black-breasted leaf turtles for a few months but this is best for them! Especially I hope to reproduce them in the new year! Fingers crossed Special thanks to all my Reptiliatus Channel Patrons for helping make videos like this possible!

    I personally put all my reptiles into brumation. Reptiles and research published a video about a year ago on brumation where they talked about a study on black rat snakes. Half of these snakes lived in an area where they had to brumate, and the other ones didn't. They found that the snakes going through brumation on average lived for 10 years longer than the ones who didn't. So not only does it replicate the natural year cycle, giving them a form of enrichment, it also extends their lives substantially. Of course, these were only black rat snakes but it still gives an indication of what brumation could do for other reptiles. Or at least north-American colubrids.

Just a fluffy kinda sassy, adorable ( cuz my darling husband tells me so) old broad was a wicked sense of humor😉😊 and strong in sarcasm. One of the reasons my husband says that he married me almost 25 years ago is because I can so easily crack my own self up😂🤣😍 no reason to apologize or be concerned, but I was so glad that you let us in on it early on in the video so that the relief was pretty instant in regards to the adorable Turtle crew.

    Brumation is such a fascinating thing! I myself don't brumate my two snakes, because both species are from equatorial Africa and experience wet and dry seasons which their species are still apparently very active during, by anecdotal reports.

    • @Reptiliatus
      @Reptiliatus  Рік тому

      It’s very interesting indeed! As an example, red tailed boas will go off food and hide during the dry season but most people don’t réalise this and continue to feed them all year round, sometimes leading to obesity.
      Sounds like you did your research! Well done!

    QOTD: Our corn snake brumates and the our Uromastyx, Russian Tortoise, Green Anoles and Ackie Monitor all really slow down. They do it on their own with the change of seasons. I don't even change their heating/lighting, they just head over to the cooler sides. Our four year old pair of Australian Water Dragons, however aren't showing any signs of getting ready to go down. I may have to intervene to get those Canadian captive offspring in the future!

    This is probably the first Clickbait video here. I always hibernated my animals, including bearded dragon, leopard geckos, corn snake, rosy boa and horned frogs. The Dragon had clear behavioral science of winter approaching evry year. some animals like the rosy boa and most temperate turtles that sleep through the winter actually benefit from this, and most keepers of them do it. But generally I think that most species that hibernate should be given the opportunity to do so. I think that it is actually cruel to not let them get dormant even if they are showing signs of shutting down.

      Hmmm personally I wouldn’t bother with it until they are at least around E.T’s size. He’s def not full grown either but he’s large enough I’m not worried. I think if they are past half grown it’s fairly safe to do depending how low you drop temps. Obviously I’m the wild young animals would overwinter or go dormant but there are always risks and I think that you minimize them by avoiding brumating younger turtles.
