We’re always evolving here at Garden State Tortoise and there is absolutely never a dull moment! With cooler weather setting in and winter days not so far off, we decided to make a change. See how we convert our indoor turtle pond into a tortoise pen! You can do this too. It’s simple, easy, effective and keeps the tortoises safe and sound for winter. See how we do it in this video and you’ll find that what we make can comfortably house a wide variety of tortoise species including red foot tortoises, yellow foot tortoises, Greek tortoises, Hermann’s tortoises, Russian tortoises, Forstens or Elongated tortoises and even juvenile Galapagos tortoises!
How did we get Galapagos tortoises?! Find out here:

mercury vapor bulbs should be ran 24 hours before you use them they can hurt your reptile . or do you know this already?
Jack and Sally are just awesome. Good to see they are doing so well. The information you provide about your animals is amazing as are all of the enclosures they are in.
Looks great!!!!😁
As usual, this is another interesting and informative video. You and Casey do an excellent job creating your videos for our enjoyment ( here it comes and you knew it would be ) would you please tone down the volume of the musical interludes ? There are often others in the room who are doing their own thing when I'm watching your videos and they find the music distracting. Thanks !
I really appreciate the efforts you go to in creating good habitats for all your charges. It is easy to see how healthy and happy they are with you, and you sharing such a breadth of knowledge and experience with us is brilliant. Thank you.🖤🇨🇦
How is the bottom constructed?? One large peice?? Or more planks.
Still an awesome enclosure
I remember kamp kenan doing a tour of your indoor setups about 5yrs ago do you still have those tortoises, I believe the video was titled great indoor turtles and tortoises
Will the plants chosen require grow lights?
I can’t get over how much they’ve grown and the shell growth is so smooth 👌🏻They will be so content in the winter enclosure 🤗🐢🤗
So what is the ambient temperature in the room?
I've seen how destructive my box turtles can be in their enclosure. Can only imagine what Galaps are capable of!
OMG; the "music" sucks stinky balls.
You should remove the plant from the pot to make it look a lot better
really enjoy updates on the Galapagos tortoises !
I remember the video when you got them. They are bigger then my 3 year old redfoots.
Awsome cool tortoises it will be interesting to watch them grow up to be giants yeah! 💚🐢 👌 thanks for sharing !
💯 on the patreon! Sign me up! And dream dream dream tortoise. My redfoot is perfect for me now but how amazing to be apart of conservation and hopefully multiplication of these incredibly prehistoric animals!
Month ago I began my turtle life. Watching your video is my go to to relax and watch you handle all the turtles/tortoises. I pray I become as natural as you.
A tortoise or box turtle views a clean water dish as a blank canvas. It cries out for them to decorate 😂
I'm a lil embarrassed to admit that I watch your videos not for the reptiles but because of you. My family owns a turtle bt I have a irrational fear of reptiles so I admire them from afar. Bt your videos are so wholesome and relaxing that I can't help bt watch. The way you treat those animals, Casey and your daughter is so admirable. I respect you so much as a person and hope I find a campanion like you in my life
🤩🐢enclosure 🤙🏾
Awwwww. They are blessed to have you. So are we. I cannot imagine size of Galapogos Turtles when adult. Can't they be released into their native habitat? ( galapos..?)
Could you post a list of safe plants you use in your habitats?
Great video packed with so much amazing content. Jack and Sally have a lot of grazing room. I agree less can be more. This was a lot of fun thank you! ❤
I would love to have one a big land Turtle.
very good tortoise
👍I always wanted to have a tortoise 🐢
🤗
Wow 🥺😲
