  • Depending on where you live, wet or humid conditions are something to be aware of and to take into consideration when you care for a desert tortoise species like the sulcata tortoise or leopard tortoise.

    I live in west Arizona and I actually got sulcata tortoises, largely, from watching them on your channel.
    I'm so happy I got them.
    I'm keeping them outside right now, but I'm starting to worry because monsoon season is coming soon.
    And it does get like 68 degrees at night.
    Anyway, glad to see you keep uploading videos. Great inspiration to reptiles lovers like me.

    Hey kenan, I recently broke my leg clean in half in a skateboarding accident and I have been stuck in the house. I will be for the next 2 months. Your videos have been a life saver as I have been binge watching all of your creative episodes. I absolutely love the content and how diverse it all is. I wandered over to scottys channel after I saw you do a video with him and watching you pull off a 360 backflip was so sick!! He has made such great progress with his injury. Anyway, thank you for loving reptiles, keep up the great work! You deserve many more subscribers and I hope to see you and chandler get together soon to make a video.

    I'm in MO where summers are very humid and the only time my leopards(actually just one of them) have any respiratory issues is actually when they come in for the winter where it is drier in their indoor enclosure. One was hatched in MO and while the others came from the Southwest, I got them very young and gradually acclimated them to being outdoors here as they grew. If there is going to be several days of rain in a row I will lock them in the heated house or bring in, but by the time it's warm enough for them to go out we don't get many stretches like that.

    but in the same time, for me
    cost effective & from your video collection focus on,
    your home/ base sanctuary should focus on turtle, tortoise, lizard, iguana & snake species.. in special addition fish.
    if you want to see gator or crocs
    go to fred or busch wildlife

      He’s getting crocs and gator from Fred because Fred is getting old and asked him to take care of them. He has the room to house them so I don’t see an issue with adding them to his sanctuary.

    I noticed there isn’t a ton of grass in the sulcata’s area. Do you have to supplement regularly with hay?

    Hey I am getting two baby sulcata tortoises next month . Where I live the weather is pretty bipolar. I was wondering how big the inclosure needs to be and what temperature is too cold for them to be in

    So I live in Phoenix and have leopards. Is it okay to leave them out if it rains during the summer? Would it dry out fairly quick for them to be okay, or would it be wise just to have them inside during rain?
