I was born and raised in Namibia, our Torts were always outside in a natural area and habitat. It has been a huge adjustment to raise in captivity here and my biggest concern is always enough humidity. This has been a great and very informative video, thank you! It would be helpful to list the equipment used for both indoor and outdoor habitats.

I love all turtles. The larger species (like this guy) have such beefy legs even when they're tiny. so cute. we have boxies 🐢🐢🐢

[davidherberger]

Definitely making me rethink my Box Turtle care.
I want to move them to the basement. There is more room but I am worried about the mice I get. I also live in CT

And i have been worried north Alabama would be too cold most of the time. Good vid

[markdasilva]

Amazing. Is there any updates to this

[Bulldog]

Topanga is fig is a little lumpy considering he was raised outdoors in Arizona. Perhaps it's too dry there?? Awesome tortoises and having two of those you are gunna need a lot of space in the future! and maybe only keep exclusively them? Aldabras are the most beautiful of the giant tortoise species I think. Cheers Kevin!

I’m in south Windsor ct! What town are you in? I’m seriously considering purchasing and easing a pair of aldabras, cool set ups!

[rhombifer]

good job are you possibly overthinking it just a little bit 🐢🤔

[miriamn.de.cr.]

Are your Aldabran tortoises the same sex ?. I used to have 2 red/yellow footed tortoises, but 1 died because it felt on its back trying to get on the other one. When we discovered it, it was already too late. They're a lil more than 2 yrs old. The one who died was a male and he used to bother the other one quite a lot lately before the 'accident' happened. I read on google that it can be hard to keep different sex tortoises in the same enclosure.

how to get to page that helps to make sure that your aldabras are on track, as mentioned in the video? I can't find it.

[albertoduran]

how much cost one and where can I buy?

You should separate them first as if one tortoise had a virus or parasite in them, it would be pasted on to the other. I recommend to connect their poop and use a microscope.
