Just wanted to mention that this was a temporary enclosure for these turtles. This enclosure is not quite ideal for box turtles long term. In this setup, I only had a heat bulb, they also need a UVB bulb. Also, box turtles are land turtles, so they should have more land, less water. I moved them to an outdoor enclosure, which is much better than this one. Here’s that video: czcams.com/video/HQRsN5mdZvw/video.html
I think the names should be Drake and Josh
what type of box turtle, are they easy to care for?
@@your-dad319 but if they grow up to be male and female they can be bred creating more box turtles and bringing their population up.
What happend to the other box turtles in the picture
What’s the background song
These box turtles are so cute! Even though it’s simple, that setup it really nice looking
Idk if you have a box turtle and this is super random but how many gallons should there tank me for like there whole lifd
Arianna Madoshus probably a 20 gallon
@@ariannamadoshus4995 full grown probably 30
@@poolboyproductions8039 20 gallons? are you nuts? Maybe if you want your turtle to die from sheer lack of will to live but they are an active species. if your going with a terrarium a 75 gallon is the bare minimum for a box turtle, and thats even small
Thanks for watching! Gonna be setting up an outdoor enclosure for these lil guys soon, what should I name them? ⬇️
Teeny and tiny
Also thay look like box turtles
Fred and jerry but also I think they’re to tiny to sex
Or jack and Jill
Peanut for one of them maybe?
Hey carson thnk you so much for the amazing content for all of us. You inspired me to buy a turtle. Hope i could follow your succesfull footsteps. Also congratulations on 8k subscribers you truly deserve it!
I found an Eastern box turtle that’s about the same age as yours a week ago. Poor guy is blind in one eye, and I found him with ants latched onto him. I removed them, and after a few days he’s finally eaten and is starting to get used to me. ❤️
Hope he likes you and remains healthy🙏🏻
I applaud you for taking care of these little guys and happy you are moving them outside. The gravel setup inside was not the best thing for these guys as EBTs need deep loose soil to burrow in. Its their natural instinct. I grew up around them and have hatched tons of them over the years. Good luck and thanks for taking care of them as they are endangered and protected in many states.
That may be true on protected. The pet store said I cannot legally help you, but I'll nod when you touch the right UVB light.
Literally BEST Aquatic channel out there! Love the content during quarantine! KEEP IT UP!!
Your honesty a very good owner and you always make ur habitats so unique I’m sure all your pets love you. Keep up with the great vids!
Who’s here after chipper died😢 this was my favourite memories of him. RIP chipper😔 you will be missed.
Yes dear box turtles box turtles are so cute
Keep up the great work! You have quickly become one of my favorite channels
Carson, very cute!!! I love your videos so much and you inspired me to make my own pond and get two baby yellow bellied sliders!! Great Vid. You are amazing!
Thanks for making quarantine a lot👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
The Turtle King 🐢
I also love baseball and turtles. Sick vid Carson 🚗 ☀️
Emoji meme moment lol
Totally look like mine. I’m making a bigger habitat for them. Glad I found your video. Thanks for taking care of them.
Super cute, great vid man!!!
Those are defiantly eastern box turtles! There also threatened in the wild so it awesome you found some hatchlings!
According to the Garden state tortoise guy. He says baby don't need uvb because they spend 95-98% of the time underground in nature. But that the two criticle things they need are HUMIDITY AND HEAT.
That’s awesome man they are so cute great new editions to the channel 🐢
Love the vids keep up the amazing work Carson.
THANK YOU FOR THIS I am getting two baby ornate box turtles now I know what to feed them and how to set up their enclosure and I already have a tub exactly like this!!!
Got my turtle on this day. 🐢
They are adorable!
I have tons of babies all the time. Finally brought a clutch inside this winter and I cannot use mulch because the shards will get into their tiny eyes. The bigger ones they live out in the yard on their own and are totally capable. The babies also need a bath daily bowl/watering hole, like totally submerged will help their shells grow. They love to stick their head under the water and clean out their eyes daily and neck folds. I also give them earth worms and meal worms which I cut up to a pea-size because at that age they choke easily. They also need humidity, especially cuz of lamps. My guys got a humidifier cranking 24/7. Just advice for other baby turtle owners. My uncle happens to be one of the top recognized turtle and tortoise society's members in the US. Good luck!
I wish I could just keep lots of turtles, at least watching you keep them is really nice and fun. Nice vid 💪🏻💪🏻🙌🏼
I've always been hoping to find baby box turtles all my life this is so cool if you ever decide to get rid of them I will definitely give them a lovely home I have a pair of Egyptian tortoises
The people who disliked were the turtle’s parents
Family*
so the turtle has olmost 50 parents
2:18, POV: you are getting out of the bed too fast
OMG YAY MORE TURTLES!!!
Nice! I have two baby snapping turtles hoping to get more here soon. Great video as always can't wait for the next!
Almost at ten k can’t wait for it
Super cute turtles
Awesome video like always!
I actually just recently got a baby Eastern Mud Turtle, he's the size of a nickel
They love crickets too
I have Eastern Box turtle too!
I like your turtles!
You have the most chill music keep it up to hit 1mil
OH MY GOD I love it
Jack and Jim looks good for the eastern box turtle duo
Yeah their Eastern box babies
hey carson you’ve inspired me to go make a turtle habitat and i got 3 turtles now
Knew it fam that’s fire
Cute baby turtles. Name one Honey and the other Bee. Or Bonnie and Clyde.
They are the size of my little Crush. He loves mealworms and wineberries. He likes to hide during the day, and come out at night.
With the recent thunderstorms in Virginia, these guys are everywhere. I bought a $60 UVB bulb fixture so they won't get soft shell. I used a premium top soil with no added fertilizer. Gravel underneath. Covered with moss & oak tree leaves. I had a large triangular bowl where I once kept frogs. That's the swimming pool. They love cherry tomatoes. I cut them up some romaine lettuce. I think they'll do dubia cockroaches, giant mealworms, & night crawlers. I need to add a pine hollow log for cover. I also have a heat pad under the enclosure for small snakes under one corner. If you see anything wrong in my setup, let me know.
It’s such a cool looking setup! My only suggestion is to swap out the kilt he for a different substrate because a lot of times the mulch contains dyes and chemicals that might affect the turtles health. I recommend coco fiber!
Hi I love the indoor in closure you definitely helped me out with what I need to get for my new family member she is tiny just like the 2 you got only she loves crickets. Also I’m a little afraid to use the mulch though cause of the things that’s put in it and well most of the time it’s smells like cow poop..lol.. anyway my mom named her Myrtle the turtle ..lol … please keep making videos it really helped..
Chip and dale!!
Great video 👍👍👍👍
4k video nice man🐢🐢🐢🐢
Leonard & Howard!!
Brilliant video keep it up
You have inspired me to get 7 fish tanks and 2 ponds and a CZcams channel The MG Fishing Boys Keep up the good work love the videos
This video will come in handy for my Boxturturtle
Side note 👀 the blue hue of his eyes are such a beautiful shade
First of all I just love your vidz !
And i think you should have some live plants in sheldon's cage too.
Good luck with everything
Omg their so cute
Great little set up. Actually the babies do not need uvb. In the wild they stay hidden until a little bigger and stay in the deep forest floor vegetation... Check out Garden State Tortoise on how babies can be kept in water for hydration needs...
I would love to have baby box turtles
Congrats on 8k subs Carson
thank you!
Awesome
I got a baby painter turtle. His shell is really cool looking
I have two painted turtles one baby and one adult but I love your turtle vids keep it up
Ok well this is super dope. I would love to find a baby turtle lol
Very nice
Think u so much
Their names should be Fin and Rider
I just found a box turtle in my back yard my dog actually found it and brought it up 😂 but just some advice to keep the box turtles happy, get some shredded coconut substrate for the kilt tale guys so they can dig down and burrow. Once I put my turtle in she went straight to digging and has been burrowed ever since I’ve got her
The best environment is their natural habitat AKA the wild.
Oh hey this was on my birthday
I can’t believe that you have box Turtles
I like all your videos btw im from the Philippines.
They need about 1/3 rd of the water space you’ve given them. I’ve raised 20
I wish i had a youtube partner like you. But im too young and it would be weird. You too chill
you calling him old lol jk
@@minecraftcowboyXD im prettu young lol
Haha
I am 10 lol
Box turtles don’t need that much water at all. You could put mulch/dirt in the whole thing with a very shallow water dish that’s big enough for both of them to get in. And put like a snake hide in there that’s big enough for both of them. If you use thinner dirt they can burrow a lot better. That set up works tho, and looks good.! Just don’t want them to get shell rot from to much water.
They are now in an enclosure with all of those things, here’s the vid - czcams.com/video/HQRsN5mdZvw/video.html
I found ur channel from Sheldons enclosure over his aquarium. Watched a lot of ur vids. Good stuff. I'm not far from the Lou in Warrenton. Keep up the vids.
Oh my god they’re so cute! I used to have I suggest feeding them some strawberries it makes them look like they have lipstick on
Maybe call them Mario and Luigi
I like Ying and Yang.
I just got one and he's no bigger then my thumb. 😂 He's so freaking cute
I want one awwweew
hey Carson, love your vids. I noticed you keep a couple of your enclosures in your room and I was wondering how you keep up the circadian rhythm of your turtles when you turn on a light later at night.
This is so weird i saved a adult box turtle today on the road. Love the vids they are fire
Depends on the Gender, but Cosmo and Wanda would be the name I use for the new turts 🐢. Per usual dope video bro
Can you make a video of you changing or cleaning the setup that would really be helpful?!
I think you are doing Great and maybe chip and Dale will be a good name. Keep up the good work😁
They love swimming but it's good to keep an eye on them when there babys
Yes, hoping you'd get a box turtle or tortoise
I see box turtles all the time in my woods that we don’t own but we do like to go in there cause we made our own trial and I see some but there to big to own so whenever I see them I pick them up and check them out but the sad part is, is that sometimes I see a shell of a turtle but there is no turtle in there and I have a whole collection of turtle shells
Could you do a baby box turtle routine?!🤗
I found a baby box turtle 2 days ago just sitting in my yard...his shell is no bigger than a quarter! They are just all kinds of cute. I'm just worried about what to feed, as they are so small at this age. I read they should have a 90% protein diet at this age, and of course, don't forget to dust food with calcium. Good luck to you!
Hi. Thank you for video. Are baby box turtles able to hide in their shells right after hatching or it takes some time for them to learn to do that? If it does how long?
Great video! Newbie question, is it best to have the lamp on 24/7 or just during the day? Thx!
I wonder how Sheldon would react to them. Just for a bit maybe put them together.?
Cool but I think that they should have a little bit of a bigger place on the land
Diggin the facial hair btw
Sheldon 2 and 3?
😂😂
I l like that thank you so much love from India
I have a yellow belly slider in its not even one yet
