- I spent the other week down in Florida, where I saw a lot of incredible things! I visited a few friends, explored the pine glades, went to Aquashella, and got to see my turtles in person!
Many of you have been requesting turtle content for a while now and I'm finally about to make that happen. I have huge plans for various species that I know you'll love. More on that in the future - stay tuned!
In the meantime, I really hope you enjoy coming along on this adventure with me. It was a lot of work to film and edit! So if you enjoyed the video, give me a like and comment to support the channel. Enjoy!
Give some love to folks who I was able to visit and showcase in this video!

I'm finally getting turtles! I've been planning this for months now, but I've been keeping it secret till now. I usually don't like to talk about stuff before I do it, but I just had to this time. These little turtles are so amazing! I hope you enjoyed coming along for the journey to see them. Have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

Great video
Awesome video as always! 🙂 Just wow so cool! Can't wait to see you get the turtles you want! That's gonna be epic! 🙂
Can’t wait to see the incredible enclosure you create for them!
Excited to see your care and future videos with turtles, always inspiring!
Turtles are long term pets. I and sister got two baby turtles back in 1971. Sister gave me her turtle, and now 51 years later I still am caring for those two turtles.
I'd say most reptiles and amphibians are long-term pets. Obviously turtles take that to an extreme, but it's not unheard for many other common species to live for 30+ years.
Wait what turtle lives 51 years is it a tortoise
@@siddharth3895 alot of turtles still live for about 100 years not just tortoises live longer
@@GrimaceMCD ya but most turtles ppl keep as pets live only around 30years
@UCIQWBL_INgGBTtlkiKOeXEg for example red eared sliders the most common pet turtle they’re average lifespan is 30 years there r turtle that live for really long but u don’t usually see ppl keepin em that’s the reason I asked wut turtle it was I was curious
Great video friend! I cannot wait for you to get the black breasted leaf turtles 👀🐢! I have 5 of them and they are truly some of my favourite animals I own!
Yeah man, joining the club 😎 Even just from the brief interaction I had with them, I can see how awesome they are.
@@SerpaDesign glad to hear it! Can’t wait to see!
Black Breasted Leaf Turtles seem like they have so much personality. Aquashella looked awesome!
They really do! I got to interact with them for awhile and can't wait to properly showcase them on the channel.
Charlie and Kenan have the best places, Blake’s place takes a while just to take it all in, and that aviary is just stunning
Thanks!
@@charlie_moorcroft thank you for your efforts and all you do mate!
I also love being in greenhouses or any place with tons of plants for sale, and I also touch most of the plants 🤣 I never knew anyone else did that so it made me laugh when you said you did it. Another great video as always!! You’re amazing, keep it up!
Haha maybe it's a plant person thing? I'll have to put a poll up about it to see if others do as well.
I like to rub lettuce on my weiner!
Who doesn't do that?!
I was laughing too! I have touch them all!
@@SerpaDesign It must be! I do it too. I love greenhouses and botanical centers. I feel so much peace when surrounded by plants.
8:17 that is one hell of a happy lizard, so much room and his enclosure looks so nice
These kinds of videos make me so hopeful. My parents both had pretty dull experiences in adulthood, basically only being parents and workers, and it fills me full of hope that when I’m out of education and such I may be able to find a hobby as enriching as this and continue to thrive as an adult. You all seem so content with the work you do and it’s amazing. I had a hand at scaping my cresties terrarium nearly two years ago following your tutorial, and it was so much fun looking for plants and such. Sadly I’m not great at looking after plants! I’ve got more of a red thumb than green. Sadly my crestie passed this year, and I’m not sure if this hobby is the one for me, but I’m very happy I gave it a shot :)
I love plant nurseries too. It's not touch that gets me so much as scent, and I don't particularly mean flower scents. There are so many scents to explore and enjoy. Or sometimes not enjoy so much. :) Form too; a cactus nursery was amongst my favourites. I'm not sure, but I'm _guessing_ you wouldn't like a cactus nursery, Serpa! XD
I love inquisitive animals too. Gerbils are my favourite, but that's partly because I never imagined a bright-eyed inquisitive turtle until now! It's the same with paludriums, actually; I'd never heard of them before CZcams showed me your desk video last year. I can't do much about my interest because of my health, but it's good to know these things exist. :)
I never heard about Charlie before this video but I love what he's doing and he just seems like a genuinely kind and approachable person, who knows his stuff and just wants to help. He sounds like an awesome guy!
Thank you!!!!
Absolutely love this video, such a banger. You never disappoint.
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Truly love how much you advocate for natural environments for the enclosures. I remember first getting into aquaria/terrariums and always just followed the commonly advertised route of artificial plants/decor/filtration/etc, but never really enjoying those too much. The past few years I've been more able to make my enclosures more natural and have seriously loved seeing the animals enjoy their time more than in the past. All your enclosures are seriously so thoughtful and is right up my alley of how I want to make future projects. I just need the space to start them! lool
I love the turtle you said was yours. Those eyes are amazing. Kind of alien-ish. Everywhere you went was fantastic.
Yeah they're goofy little animals. Huge personalities though and really cool.
I've been thinking about another turtle (I used to rescue boxies here in NC) and I'm definitely interested in that species!
Listening to these people talking about their pets, and the level of care and empathy and just, how fortunate we are to be able to share time with them really lifted me up today. Thank you!
I don't have a green thumb like you, but I like to touch plants too... touching nature is calming. I once purchased a very small pothos plant, kept next to my keyboard at work, touched the leaves everyday n spoke to it everyday... it grew extremely fast! I know they're an easy plant to grow, but they truly react well when given attention.
It's about time!!!! Charlie is one of the greatest people ever. I'm so glad you're finally getting into turts! 🐢🐢🐢
Thanks Dan!
Very good energy and conversation between the two of them - no competitiveness, only sharing information and their love for animals.
22:18
DAT FACE THOOOO 🤣🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰🥰
What an adorable, feisty little guy.
So much personality behind those eyes
I really like this guy. I've seen dozens of his videos. He never talks down to his audience.
Tanner, I appreciate how real you are. You don't put on a voice or act out a persona, and in that way, I think it adds a depth of character to your videos.
In Short: Amazing animals, amazing people and our amazing Tanner.
Slinky's new enclosure looks amazing!!! I remember when we thought he froze 😭😭😭
I can't wait to be able to build a "yard" like this for my sulcata! It will be more desert oasis themed 😊❤️
I love the faces of the vipers 😍 looks like they are always pursed for a kiss
Lol
Kiss of death 😂
Groovy! Your channel has a great cadence! Goodonyas! Well done...go getm tiger
I like to touch stuff when it’s new to me/when shopping. It’s just kinesthetic learning and it’s totally normal! Just another way of absorbing new information.
22:15 what an interesting looking turtle. The eyes remind me of googling eyes😅 So cute
Respect to all you guys for your knowledge and conservation of varieties of animals. What a great and noble devotions you have. It’s heart warming. Absolutely fantastic. Thanks a lots for your services from bottom of my heart. Lots of Love from India. ❤
That little leaf turtle is cool..kinda reminds me of gamera from the older godzilla movies
without a doubt one of the best serpa design videos EVER
Just found your channel and wow… You go above and beyond on the details in your videos. Wish you the best as your channel continues to grow! Keep up the great work Tanner!!
Looks like it was a lot of fun and that makes me happy for you. You know, I stumbled on your channel early on and have watched it grow. You are such a kind, calm person with a nice vibe and an excellent sense for natural beauty. Seeing you in your element just made me smile. I am so very happy that you seem so happy and are living your best life. It really warms my heart to see all you do. To that end, every one of the people you introduced us to today seemed of a similar nature to you and it was just so pleasant to come on that journey and see a wonderful world I may not otherwise know about. Truly thanks for sharing this with us. Peace! ☮️
I touch all the plants too!! I think you help give the plant your energy and they help you by giving you their energy!! :)
AWESOMELY done!!!! I'm retiring soon and considering southern Florida. Been to the Everglades and the 'real' Florida and this program inspired me to maybe move down there and maybe do something with animals like lizards, turtles and who knows what??? Thanks Tanner for your inspiration and your positive attitude, your sensitivity to plants and animals and people! YOU ROCK!!!!
Love kamp Kenan been watching his antics for ages 😎👌
One of the funnest episodes yet, I loved these crazy adventures, such gorgeous animals! Thanks for this!!!
Baby turtles 🐢 are just the most adorable thing! 😍
thanks for taking us along. also, just want to let you know you are a great inspiration and one of the reason i decided to become an aqua content creator.
4:54 Carnage is so fast, sleek, i like her color too, what a beautiful creature 🐊 Cuban Nile hybrid that's so dope
Aww man that last place you visited with the indoor turtle section was amazing! I could watch a whole video on the ins and outs of his conservation efforts and husbandry! Those turtles were so interesting!
Kenan's enclosures inspire me with my monitor lizard set ups, and your set ups inspire me for all my rainforest species. I love hearing you guys talk!
My dad has a house in Cocoa, FL. I live on the west coast of Florida. When I visit him, he takes me to all these giant greenhouses. Idk if we have that many near where I live in Palmetto. I HAVE to touch the plants as well when we go. ALL of them. It's part of the experience!
One thing I've learned about the Hobby from watching tons of channels.
Everything is a work in Progress.
Especially OFR.
LOL.
Hey, Tanner! I have a cool idea. Why not make a aquarium with geodes? Maybe give it an underground feel to it too! Hope you see this. Keep up the great work.
I live just west of Orlando. It’s an amazing area. We love it!
Great Florida adventures, Tanner! I'm so happy you had a fun trip to Florida. My friend Tyler and I saw you at Aquashella, we were so excited to meet you! We screamed watching this video because we're the first photo and our friend is the second one! 😂 We had a great time!!
seeing those tiny turtles and tortoises makes me want to get one for myself.... after doing extensive research about keeping them of course!
Honestly, tortoises are just brilliant. A lot of research needs to go into caring for them properly, but once you’ve read up then they are just a joy to care for and not much work.
Id recommend a box turtle debt get a rdd earned slider unless you want to pay for a 75g tank or bigger
I can really see from this video how much you truly care about these animals. Never stop doing what you love!
Great video!! Loved seeing all of the outdoor enclosures
Its nice to see you visiting Blake at his sanctuary B.E.A.R.
As a Floridian, I love to see so many people down here doing it right! They're living the dream.
I never thought Tanner would go to Blakes Exotic Animal Ranch
Loved the bloopers, that was something different!
He had many more 🤷🏼♂️🤣
Those Black breasted leaf turtles got me right on the funny bone. The facial expressions of the one you filmed had me cracking up. 😆😂
Can't wait to see them at home with you. Hopefully they have hilarious personalities.
Lol
I'm really looking forward to your completed turtle build. Btw, I completely understand the plant-touching thing. I do the same....plus I talk to them.
wtf
Thank you for explaining in details. I too love to touch plants but not as much, I didn't realize it was a thing
Great new video, really enjoyed watching every bit of it! Love the new addition, when you are able to bring him/her home, so cute. I love tortoises and turtles, have a real soft spot for them! My sister had a red eared slider when I was growing up (back when they were legal in the 80's), and I've rescued and later released an Eastern Box turtle. I love/dread Spring because that means I'm gonna have to pull over and move the little guys and girls when they start trying to sun in the road, before the weather gets too hot. Keep up the great work, love Sammie's pics! I also love the native toads in our area, Memphis. We don't have as many as we used to, there was a virus or something that has wiped a lot of them out? Not sure but I miss them. Take care!
I THOROUGHLY enjoyed this vid. All time favorite so far outside of your builds (and I don’t post on social media). Thank you.
Tanner has inspired so many of us forever grateful awesome video!
leaf turtles are probably my favourite terrestrial turtle species. There's probably aquatic species I like more but these are def up there.
Man tanner. I've been watching your videos since 2020 when I got into aquarium keeping. I got very into it because I had a lot of time to enjoy my animals. But sadly some life stuff just made it difficult to enjoy and care for my fish to the extent I really wanted to so I had to rehome them this year. I took a lot of inspiration from you and I have always enjoyed the videos you make and how much work you put into this all. I came to learn about this side of animal keeping but I stayed because of the beauty and love in your videos. ❤
I’ve visited the U.S many years ago and hadn’t planned on going back, until I saw this video…… thanks tanner! ❤️🇦🇺
Such a cool video, I love the highlight of all these places that care for their animals and treat them ethically!
Wow all of these people are amazingly cool! Thank you for sharing.
I worked in a tropical greenhouse for 19 years and touched a lot of plants. What's interesting is how they respond to touch. They like to be gently dusted and don't mind being groomed if it involves removal of a dead or dying leaf. But if I had to prune for shape they would freak out! A plant in distress sends out a chemical alarm call that alerts all the plants that the crazy lady with the pruners is headed their way. You can smell it and taste it on the back of your throat. Your eyes start to sting, and if you're not wearing gloves, it burns your hands. I always felt so awful because that is the plants way of screaming. Once everybody calmed down, I would apologise and reassure them that I still loved them.
The Kamp Kenan collab was unexpected
I’ve been watching your videos for quite a time now and I envy you! I absolutely love watching you make custom builds! Cant wait to see the turtles!
haha I touch plants too, I can feel the texture, if they're stiff or delicate, dry, healthy, weak, underwatered etc. it's a big part of how I select them
Glad I'm a subscriber. Thanks for the hard work you do to share this stuff with everyone.
The leaf turtles are so adorable 😍🥰😘
Those foxes look so happy! Here in the UK we only see malnourished foxes in the street so it's nice to see happy ones ☺️
What a fun time in Florida! It would have suited me to watch a couple of hours of video. So tickled you’re getting your turtles! Thanks for a great (if short 😁) video.
I love the Vlog style video. I know it's not really your thing, but it would be fun to see the occasional Vlog. You're at the top of the game and its amazing to watch you grow! One of your best videos to date!.
The turtles have the funniest little faces I love them
Yay! Good for you! I'm focusing on my plants for now because caring for a mini zoo reqlly takes its toll for a one-man team.
I feel you on the plants. I am exactly the same! That's why I don't wear gloves when gardening. It irks me that I can't
feel the potting medium.
Great video Tanner. Who else is super excited about Tanner working with Spengleri?
Watching the animals at the zoo keeps reminding me of how much I want to work with raptors; cool stuff!
U went to Blake's! Nice!!!! U misses the otters enclosure. You 2 are some of my favorites for sure
Great video! I loved all the animals! You've helped me along other artists to start in this beautiful hobby, thank you!
You are a huge inspiration to me! I have been building my pond today. I love watching your videos. I have 20 tanks and the pond loving the hobbie. Thanks for your videos!
I'm not a turtle fan but those turtles you plan on getting do have a cool pair of eyes on them.
You are awesome tanner a true inspiration
Great video Tanner!! I’m so lucky to live in south Florida and be so close to all of these amazing reptile keepers!!🦎🐍🐊🐢❤️
So Coo chill love it! Cant wait to see ya get some turtles. Great mix vid!
Finally man!!! Turtles need all the help they can get. Welcome back to the club 🐢 🤘
I have a spotted turtle and he is the friendliest little guy he loves being held and he is just a hoot ❤ he is constantly trying to eat his air bubbles and it’s so cute
Charlie is such a great guy! So happy you guys got to meet up. He was excited for it. Spengleri are amazing too! I’ll get with Charlie about getting you a hatching this summer from one of us.
Awesome video compilation of your southern adventures!! Absolutely blown away by those outdoor havens (heavens!) 😲 and I'm now inspired to see what we've got here around Melbourne (Australia, not Florida haha) and do some adventuring myself.
Looking forward to seeing the turtles join your own lil haven 🐢 and some Ts too don't forget! 🕷
Thank you for taking us with you on your adventures! 😃
What an amazing place! Love the habitats you made for the animals
I like that leaf turtle, he’s so fast and has big eyes.
You should make an axolotl aqua scape.
This channel gets better and better with every vid!
Wow those turtles are so lively as cute!
Super cool, Tanner. Can't wait to see your turtles when you get them! 🐢🐢🐢🐢
It’s common to distinguish plants by their texture! So not super weird to touch every one! :)
Homie rockin the ian connor vans 🥶
The turtle place was cool too.
I relate to the "touching" thing. Although I do buy things online due to necessity, I always prefer to buy in person. I'm very tactile and want to see things up close and touch. Gives me a sense of quality, and for living plants the health also.
YESSSS turtle tortoise lover here love to see chelonians getting more love
It looked so amazing to be there with all those amazing species. I'm glad that these places are for education and conservation. I would love to know who's doing breeding to release for allowing the species to thrive in the wild. So cool! Thanks for all the work and time. I wish this video was 2 x longer lol.
