    Otis is a famous turtle! An eastern box turtle to be exact who acts more like a dog than a turtle! Since the fall of 2021, Otis the turtle has taken the internet (and news coverage) by storm and he has graced a global audience with his irresistible antics and bold personality. In this video we team up with our friends at Toad Ranch Cages to custom build a one-of-kind indoor enclosure that will blow your mind. It’s a real turtle mansion equipped with all the bells and whistles. Come along for the ride as we assemble and decorate this enclosure! Will Otis like it and thrive?

    I've had my eastern box turtle for 3 yrs now. Healed up her injury. His name is Peache's. Because he loves peaches. Making him an outdoor long shallow tote to come outside during the day. Get my tips from you guys, he's a happy guy. Has a personality and he let's me know it's dinner time by standing on his feeding rock and waits. He also follows you on the floor when I let him out. Have 4 kitties that don't bother him, he's part of the clowder. Thank you for helping me keep him happy and healthy ❤

    I’d never heard of Toad Ranch before but looked them up after watching this. A few years ago, my husband and I were looking at a terrarium for our turtle and found a nice looking one on Amazon and ordered it…. And got sent the wrong item. We’ve been using a hand me down from my uncle, but these look great, they’re made in the USA, they’re veteran owned AND they don’t carry the same price tag that most US made items have? I’m sold. Pierre’s been with the family longer than my husband’s been alive, he deserves some pampering ❤
