Man I wish I knew about these attachable enclosures!!! I kept looking for an open top enclosure because I know glass is pretty stressful for turts and wanted an enclosure bigger than this one but didn't realize you could connect them. Ended up making my own out of pvc boards which while ultimately much cheaper and bigger than even 2 of these was quite a bit more time consuming to plan. Really liked the guide, would maybe say as a small revision though could be good to go more in depth on feeding (especially like prioritizing leafy greens & protein sources) and uv lighting (which I know is really really not an easy topic to goin depth without spending a good hour or two).

I was gonna say "first!" but I think a more appropriate thing to say to reference youtube circa 2010ish is... "I like Turtles"

Great video with the combo of information and entertaining content! Can't wait to see the outside enclosure.

Thank you, you provided good information! And I was just about to order that same enclosure from amazon when I came across your video so I am going to look some more before making a final decision on Turts inside housing.

Thank you for all the information, it has been extremely helpful. I'm just getting started with box turtles.

Thank you for your video ima so excited I’m getting a tortoise turtle soon

Loved 🥰 loved your video!!!

Girl you need a box cutter. Or at least something that isn't a literal kitchen knife 😂 I appreciate the little touches you add while editing like zooming in when you threw the plastic bag behind you

Really good video, thank you! Just a suggestion on some of the issues you mentioned while assembling: 1. turn down the torque on the drill will prevent over driving the screws and cracking the wood. 2. for the protective liner on the windows, use a box cutter to carefully and lightly cut the liner around the edges before pulling off. For the enclosure, How often do you recommend changing out the substrate, or what do you recommend to essentially keep it fresh?

Thanks for the suggestions! For keeping it clean, I take out any solid waste I see! I also have a clean up crew of isopods and springtails that help me get anything I missed. I'll probably replace some of the substrate around the 1 year mark!

Thank you so much! We live in Central Texas and someone's abandoned ornate box turtle showed up on our doorstep. This is so helpful!

Be careful to research the laws regarding keeping native reptiles in your area. It's illegal to keep Ornate Box Turtles here in Wisconsin!

Thank you, I had already checked that when trying to find his first owner and ultimately deciding to keep him. His shell was completely covered in cheap craft paint, so it's probably for the best whomever had him set him free to find us. We have kept him in a hand me down habitat that my mother in laws Sulcata outgrew and he just got upgraded to this same habitat. Thank you so much for your video and your quick replies. I have been doing so much research, but there is a lot of information that is hard to find.

Supper good vide

Hi from Michigan Another excellent video, how about April O'Neil, for a name. Just a little reference to the days of the teenage mutant ninja turtles. Or maybe beebee, or Betty. But what ever you decide it's going to be great. Love the video.

I think April is a great name, and she went to her first outreach program in April too. I'll have to give it some serious thought

I saw that you use the vivtech UVB light for your turtle, but what heat lamp do you use? I do not know what kind to get and would love your advice. Thank you in advance and for your helpful video.

May I suggest you making your channel a true family friendly channel without the profanity so that you can get more subscribers? We are looking for such channels, but we will not be able to subscribe to this one unfortunately. Too bad the channels name attracts children and families.
