Preserving Endangered Species: Baby Turtle Nursery
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2023
- My friend, Charlie, keeps countless threatened and endangered species of turtles, which are used to educate and inspire others about the need for conservation and preservation. For years he's been keeping them in standard bin-style setups for ease of maintenance and care. That said, as we've been working together for the past few years, he's become more interested in display designs. Not only do they look better and allow the animals to exhibit a fuller range of behaviors, but they also make it easier for people to get inspired by the animals (that's what I think at least).
In this week's video, we make a proper display setup that various species of baby turtles will call home over the coming years. The hatchlings will grow up in it until they either move outside or make their way into other people's hands. Enjoy!

I had so much fun with this one and can’t wait to see what turtles it houses over the years. Also, what’s your favorite turtle species? I personally like Common Snapping Turtles the most. Let me know, and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!
gotta go with the simple box turtle brings back good memories of finding them when i was little
This is probably the most beautiful video of yours I've seen, because while there is always the amazing aesthetics of your scapes, and the beauty of the animals, this one has the beauty of the concept for the tanks.
Best of luck to the conservation project!
def the Red eared slider; i have 1 as a pet rn and HE'S HUGE :)
green sea (basic I know)
Always love when a new video surprises me. Just a random question, how can you tell the glass was tempered?
Thank you as always for your friendship, dedication to your craft and willingnesses to think out of the box. I appreciate you! This is another bullseye 🎯 serpastyle! 😊
The leaf Turtles are too stinking cute!
I love turtles 🐢
@@KrissandraCme to I love 🐢🐢🐢
Thank you for doing so much for turtles and other animals! You're awesome 🐢
After watching every single one of your videos, I'm still shocked you have so much care towards your audience, being mature but friendly while treating your viewers like conscious thinking people. And the variety.. nothing but respect.
He is a great guy, very respectful and appreciative.
I'd trade lives with these turtles I think. what a lovely home
Hi
Happy to see two of my favs together
@@samiiamii yes lol the two favs
You would make these babies pay taxes 😢
Conservation of the animals themselves is important, and so is their habitat - which is why it’s great to have your beautiful naturalistic scapes with a conservator. And those turtles are too tiny 😍
What a really lovely setup; those baby turtles are going to have a fantastic time exploring whilst they are living there.
You know It’s a good day when tanner uploads
Yes!
You just know Tanner would be a blast to chill and cut up with. What a cool dude
He’s a super guy and amazing friend
I love this channel. There's very few people here on youtube who are as talented at making tanks like these.
Turtles are great for water aquariums. And baby ones are even better. They're so cute!
this makes me miss my turtle, i had to re home him a few years ago because i couldn’t upgrade the tank. he lives in a pond now!
0:40 Leaf turtles are a work in progress... damn that side eye the turtle gave when you said that. They are like "WE ARE TRYING OUR BEST MAN!! DAMN!!" ::Edit:: Gorgeous enclosure!! Happy happy turtles!!
I was not prepared for how tiny the hatchlings were! thank you for building this home for them ❤
He is the reason why I want animals
I've watched this 241 times and this is a certified Serpa Classic
6:47 the baby with duckweed(?) on its back is absolutely adorable!
I recently went to my local fish/reptile shop and heard one of the employees advising a customer to watch you channel after calling you they king of reptiles. I found it quite funny
your compassion towards animals will always be one of your strongest characteristics. thanks for making a wonderful nursery for the cutest little guys ever.
Perfect place for my (🇨🇦) Thanksgiving donation to go to! Thanks for all the work y'all do
Thank you 🙏🏼 😊
I’m about to redo my tank for my baby turtles. Thank you for this video and for your dedication to preservation. I think it’s important to make their environment as close to nature as possible. 🌿🍂💦🪨🐌🐢Have a blessed day! ❤️✝️🙏🏻
love your content!
Biodiversity loss is an immediate and serious problem that gets little airtime as it's more complex than news bytes can sum up. Any work to reduce biodiversity loss is very important, and turtle projects like this nursery are awesome for that reason.
Serpa you are growing with each video! I get more excited with each upload. I know not every video can be a massive backyard pond…. But I love the small builds so much and learn something new about fish or reptiles every time! Thank you 💚
I’ve gotten my 6th grade class addicted to your channel. 😂 I’m looking forward to hearing what they have to say about this video Monday. We put together jar terrariums on Friday. Many used your early videos as reference. ❤
OMG THE BABIES ARE SO CUTEEE
As someone who works with endangered turtles in the wild and has a deep running passion for this order, this video was incredible. Honestly brought me to tears. Thank you for contributing to the lives of these little ones
I’m so excited about everything you do 🤩🤩🤩🤩
i do like the simple setups at times, puts so much more focus on the fish/creature you put in :)
I truly believe that the highest level of this hobby is species preservation.
It turned out very well 👍And the turtles are very cute😊
Bless you and Charlie, and the Conservancy, for all your efforts on behalf of these infant individuals and ancient species. You are all doing good work.
Your work is such an inspiration dude. Complex natural setups give such cool opportunities for filming/photographing little critters.
My little sister has a turtle! I'm surprised I'm so early to a video. Have a nice day and enjoy, everyone! 😊🎉🐢
This is the first video I’ve viewed from your channel! You now have a new follower! I truly love turtles! You are doing amazing work! ❤
I really liked this intro. Definitely don't shy away from important messages like that! Its why a lot of us do what we do.
Yes. Totally agree.
Genuinely, I cannot wait to own my own home, so I can do even a fraction of what you do. Your vids are stellar, especially given the relatively niche nature of the content. Your focus on animal husbandry is a breath of fresh air. Thank you for all you do, Serpa. You are an inspiration to us all.
The emphasis on conservation in this video is awesome! I hope to see even more of it in future vids!
I love thee videos! So relaxing yet inspiring
Thank u for adding more than one turtle. I detest seeing creatures forced to live out their lives alone in tupperware type containers, as some of my local petshops do.
BABY TURTLES!!!!! I was so alarmed to hear you say so many animals want to EAT them!!!! I just want to hold them and watch them
all day!
Watching them go in was so cool. Thank you and Charlie for saving the turtles and all you do.
My 3 yo loves your videos and this one in particular has entered into his night time routine.
this is one of the channels that pushed me towards the animal care industry (: i love how much thought and care goes into the ecosystems you create!
I love painted turtles! So glad to see conservation being done for them!
The little turtles are so precious 🥹 they're going to love growing up there!
This was a delightful video. In high school my little Chevrolet had a bumper sticker that said “ I stop for turtles, Avalon, NJ”. I helped one to the other side of the road two weeks ago.
Absolutely beautiful work Tanner! Please do a crayfish tank soon!!!?!
Beautiful build as always and adorable turtles. I didn't expect the cameo from Tears of the Kingdom for checking the glass condition, which as a fellow player, delightfully surprised me.
I love what you do and what you stand for, yet again another beautiful video ❤
I love these vids, because u give them a really good home or at least help them ❤
Tanner, might you consider posting long videos that are just your tanks? I watch a lot of aquarium/ambient videos when I’m working and sleeping, and I would find it so pleasant to meditate upon your hardscapes. ❤ I bet the tank sounds would be really peaceful too. Plus your animals always look so happy.
listeeeen! i loooooove these clean set up! just so natural looking.
pumped for this!!! love to see what you do
U are absolutely so passionate about animals, keep up the good work!
So excited for this ! You always build such amazing tanks, it's really inspired me to start a walstad asap :))
always excited to see baby turtles. thank you for making this video
I love the leaf turtles. Their eyes are too stinking cute
The turtles are so cute!
fabulous tank for these little hatchlings
So grateful for everything you teach us. As a child my best friend and I would catch painted turtles in the pond (amongst various other creatures) we'd keep them for the winter then release them in the summer. One time I had this baby about the size of a silver dollar and it did in fact get stuck between two rocks, and it drowned. I was only 9 years old and it was so heartbreaking I never housed a turtle again. Now that I'm a responsible adult (lol) I've really wanted to get back into it, but I want to do it the right way, and your channel has given me the confidence to do it in a responsible way. I love your videos, and I love the advocacy for the animals you care for 🙏🏼
Loved to watch. They are so cute!
Not only are the turtles adorable, this is one of my favorite scapes.
Every video coming out an absolute banger recently
Inspirational as Always, Tanner!!! Awesome people like you is what got me started on this journey, and the more I get into it the more there seems to be to it, I would love to take part in the preservation/conservation of Reptiles and Amphibians one day, and Videos like this are a Ginormus motivation
This one is so cool! Also, love the tears of the kingdom easter egg.
Great job Tanner ! I came in from watching turtles in the canal on my balcony and saw this. Glad there are initiatives to help preserve them. Thank you both so much
I just relocated to Pennsylvania & I'm planning to set u a few tanks. I've watched your videos for a few years now & learned a lot much ❤ to ya brother 😊
6:49 the one with duckweed on its back is so cute
