❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
“Turkey Ranch” now haha
Hahaha she’s so cute I put food out for her .
Eh hem but were you are with that iguana it better not be damn near Florida
Hahaha no way Jose , I’m in south jersey
❤️🐢
😮what ever happened to her bless her x great video but upsetting allways allways do your research first ❤❤
She is perfectly fine now , she came in as a rescue with no explanation of what happened to her at all . Her shell was cleaned and repaired and she is as healthy as the others now . I’ll make a follow up video and show how happy and alert she is . Thank you so much for your concern and comment
How can I get some of these cute babies?
609 703 0042 you can text me or call me and as long as you live in an area where it is legal to own them I can sell you some .
Goals 👏🏽
You’ll get there .
Nice
Thanks
That looks like fun!
Hahaha it 100 percent is a lot of fun .
Do you have any babies?
I ground hatched the box this year so I’m waiting to see them walking around in there .
That's great..looking forward for that video ❤
That's a lot of woods
That’s cause there all together , they are by far the best feeders of anything I have and they all eat good . But the woods are smart and linger around the feeding spot every night the same time . Super intelligent turtles .
Love your place man.
Thank you I really appreciate that.
i want a vernal pool for my spotteds just like that
Hi , it really came together on its own I just had to put the ingredients together like a lot of oak leaves and pine needles , pine & cedar trees inside , and loads of plants . And time ..
Chuck do you have issues with racoons getting in ponds and taking turtles?
I have had a Predator of some type stop by from time to time but not on a consistent basis. I keep my dogs outside kinda close to them and I think they scare them off but, I have had a nest dug up here and there ( only one this season ) I am looking into electric wire but I know I’m gonna get shocked the most haha
Way cool !
Thanks bro
Very nice natural pond. Whenever I go in my little pond the minnows immediately start pecking at my feet.
This was my first experience with that it felt kinda weird but I got used to it haha
Nice enclosure
Thanks!
Naice
Thank you
Is anyone able to order the oysters or did you just get the hook up from your buddy? I've been using fathead minnows, but I also just received some rainbow shiners. Also plan to order some rainbow darters.
Hi , I get them from my friend . But they’re an invasive species and aren’t the more rare native oysters . I do like to keep fat heads in my ponds too I ordered 700 from Amazon recently

what kind of freshwater shrimp?
I think they’re ghost shrimp they were originally brackish water shrimp I catch and slowly convert them to fresh water over a couple of days adding more and more . They sell them completely in fresh at most fish stores
@@ChuckTornetta-TortugaRanch ok cool im gonna try and get some
That parrots feather is big. I need to get me some of that. I love your ponds man.
Thanks , if your anywhere local to me I’d give you some free . But parrot feather takes off
@@ChuckTornetta-TortugaRanch i appreciate it man.
So impressed with your ranch!!
Thank you Greg . I’ll give you a tour sometime if your ever in the area
Awesome
Very nice
Thanks I appreciate it
My favorite 👏🏽💛
I love the boxes as well my friend
So cool bro
Yeah they crawl out from all corners haha
Nice very nice
Thanks
Love aned 1
Thanks
Congrats Chuck, they’re looking great 👏🏽
Thank you Ruben I appreciate you
Beautiful turtles. Do you put them in brackish water immediately?
I actually raise and keep them in fresh well water no salt . Although if I need to I’ll give individuals a salt bath or soak from time to time I will. But the general rule here is I keep my adults in heavily planted fresh water ponds . And hatchlings are kept in fresh as well .
Such an awesome enclosure!
Thank you so much , I appreciate you watching .
POOR GIRL I HOPE SHE GETS BETTER
She came in with no explanation of what could have caused it . I suspect an impact but she is all taken care of and I’m quite sure she will be perfectly fine. Thank you for watching

blandings are so cool
I do love my blandings thanks
be cool to have greg the pond guy check out ur place
I’d love to have him over , I know he was at another facility just 20 min away. I’d love to get some ideas / help from the master himself . He has inspired a lot of my builds but I’m not as advanced .
@@ChuckTornetta-TortugaRanch yea i hope it happens
I like it
Thank you for watching Gina
Turtles surprisingly have great noses.
That’s 100 percent true these things come from 150 feet away to eat .
Cant wait to see the result! 👏🏽
Yeah I’m excited to say just 2 days later and a tad bit clearer
Haha I love your channel man
Awesome , thanks for watching I appreciate it.
❤❤❤ 🐢 🐢 🐢
any ole landscape bricks work and are safe? just wondering cause i have no idea
Yeah , they are just concrete bricks I haven’t had any issues at all from using them
Looking good
Thanks their growing slowly but steadily
Do you feed mostly pellets?
Yes I feed mostly Mazuri aquatic turtle pellets for everyone
im making something like this on a much smaller scale. thanks for the inspiration sir!
My pleasure and best of luck on your build
Def a great build it’s looking so nice filled in.
I appreciate that my friend and thank you for watching
I love
Thank you
Very nice
Thanks
Crazy how good their sense of smell is 👏🏽
They’re smell sence is amazing
I know what you mean with the box turtles slipping on the liner. I cover my liners with underlayment and they're able to tank right out the ponds. Then moss and weeds will grow on the banks as well.
Good idea , they definitely need a lil help
You didn't mess about with that ! Love the box turtle grass trails
Yes very cool reminds me of Jurassic Park’s scene
Excellent work! So cool!
Thank you and sorry for the late response I’m just seeing it now, I appreciate you watching
