- Otis the eastern box turtle has spent the winter indoors in the beautiful enclosure we made him and he's been doing fantastic. Now that the weather has turned for the better, he needs to spend some quality time in the sun. Watch as Otis follows us outside to check out his new habitat!
Along with plenty of adorable, must-see Otis moments, you'll also learn some facts about what box turtles need in their environment and how to secure and decorate an appropriate outdoor home for them.

It was so cute when you were leading Otis outside and he stopped. Then your daughter came into view and he made a left turn to follow her instead!
Haha she kept doing that and interrupting his path to the enclosure. The girls can’t get enough of him. ❤️
Gotta love that little guy. He is exactly like a puppy dog just following you around.
He’s definitely somethin’ special!
My eyes fill with tears watching this video and remembering our red-eared slider turtle (in memorian) who also followed me around.
The little guy doesn't have a clue how he puts smiles on our face!
Really appreciate you all for what you do.
Thank you 🙏🏻
What a character! You and your family are so lucky to be his guardian!🐢🐢
Thank you Lydia ☺️
me watching Otis being charismatic 😍
*looks over to my turtle* ... can you do that too? 👀
my turtle: yes, but only when you arent watching me 😤
☺️☺️❤️
Yeah, too much competition…some of us are on the spectrum.
Yes!!!! Otis is the man. Every Box turtle I ever had or came in contact with and got to know seemed to have a great personality, but never like Otis, he’s amazing and one of a kind. You can see it in his videos ❤️
He’s a playa 😉
THE HANDSOMEST TURTLE IN ALL TURTLEDOM..THE MAGNIFICENT OTIS!!!
He sure is!
There is something so special about Otis. I don't think he knows he's different from you, just smaller. He can't get out but, more importantly, can predators get in? As long as he is safe.
Nope, as we discussed in the video, his pen is fully protected just like all the others here and he’ll be coming inside at night anyway. 👍🏻
@@GardenStateTortoise safe from flying predators too?
Love seeing Otis scootling around in his outside pen!
Thanks for watching!
Aww, Otis is so cute! i love it that he always seem to follow you around and look up at you even when he’s outdoors 😍
He’s really something!
I suspect the super intelligent Otis was a dog in his previous life. The way he pays absolute attention to you is amazing. Love this interesting, unique little soul.
Ottis personality is unlike any other box turtles. He likes people, and sticks his head high right up 🐢to focus on people’s faces, as if he wants to eat people’s words. He is just precious!!
Sir Otis of Jersey. Not only is he the friendliest turtle around, including mine, he is also a beautiful specimen.
He's so energetic and curious, it's really great to see him roaming around outside. 🐢😊If you set up a couple live cameras pointed into that enclosure to stream him wandering around, people would watch that, I bet you'd be able to monetize it to help support Otis and GST.
yeah an Otis livecam
Heck YES. Great idea.
I would love this...axolotl owners have Livestream..no doubt Otis would be a star..he already is
Your family is loving and caring!!
Otis is thriving and happy, as are the other animals you care for every single day!!
I thank you for what you do!!
Thank you so so much 🙏🏻☺️
You and your deserve to be recognized as educators and rescuers. I follow the Snake Discovery group, also. I have learned to love snakes and turtles. If I had a huge backyard, I would have a Salcata!
Otis plowing through the grass like a man on a mission!💖
He’s a tank! 😊
Man I love your videos. Really takes me back to my child hood saving turtles. Turtles are amazing and really respect the care you provide and passion you have. Thank you. The world needs more people like you 🐢💪🏻👍🏻👊🏻✊🐢
CZcams just asked me how I rate you're comment to "see how they can improve comment's" 😐
Ahh that’s so awesome thank you so so much!!!👊🏻
And More wonder box turtles like Otis, too!
I heart Otis. he what brought me to the channel. Even as a big pet fan, and advocate for animals having feelings, emotions etc. It amazes me to see a turtle with such characteristics. I never seen one so outgoing.
He looks so happy exploring his new domain. Awesome.🖤🇨🇦
Thank you!
You: "Thats a beautyfull pen for otis, here is all what he need."
Otis: "DAD!"
💖
Otis: I'm not a box turtle. I'm a hooman, just like you 😊
Just love seeing Otis, he has such a unique personality! Love watching your videos!
Thank you Dorothy!
Otis is such a hilarious, precious little creature. Thanks for sharing all his antics with us! I'm glad he's getting to enjoy sunshine and fresh air.
That tortoise is super cute.. He always looks like he wants to be petted..
I know my comment is two years after the video is made but it just makes me so happy to see the bravery and confidence of this small turtle as he races to be outside.
Otis is one of a kind! He is the best ambassador for the reptile community. And handsome too! Do you ever worry about predators getting at the turtles outside? That would worry me where I live for sure. Otis sure is busy surveying his new outdoors habitat. No fear there! 🥰🥰 😎
Otis is so adorable. I love him.
And he doesn't even care... he's so in love that he just wants to look at you with these beautiful eyes, stretch his neck, listen to your voice and follow you wherever you goes. Love pure love 💗 to you!
Fully protected 24/7 365 days/year...with lots of love. Can't ask for better than that! xo
Otis is so cute. He is like your third child. He doesn’t want to be part away from you. I notice he likes to follow you everywhere like a cat.
Omg… Otis is just the most precious of all! So glad that he’s getting a chance to be outdoors again!👍✅🫶🏻❤️💕💗
Otis my man, love this channel,
I love how Otis follows you around and then just stands there reaching his little kneck up and stares. He definitely loves his owner!! He is so adorable!! 💕💜💕
Otis loves you so much. Even outside, he finds you. Otis sure has grown. I would love to have a terrapin, but I'm 74 and would worry about who would care for it if I was not here to provide care.
Otis really is the coolest
I'm afraid we all fall in ❤ with #Otis ! 🤣
Otis really is a little star, something very cute about him, You can see he loves you,
And loves spending time with you, What a special little guy he is
Any time I’m feeling down, I rewatch an Otis video and cheer right up. Seeing him try to hypnotize you with his eyes to bring your nose close enough for him to chomp always makes me laugh! He’s such a charming little imp!
Love how Otis just follows everyone
You’ve created such nice habitats, Garden State Tortoise!
otis is funny, i love how you guys take such good care of him and care about his well being...a fine line between domestic and wild is an art💕
Awesome video of Otis!
I’m very emotional over Otis. I absolutely love this little dude.
He's beautiful!!! 🐢🌞
I just love this little guy
Otis 😍🐢😍
I love Otis, he is pretty cool!!
My guy DIG DUG 🐢 just got to go outside in his SUMMER COTTAGE ☀️ 🥰
AWWww…SO SPECIAL…! I, personally, LOVE Otis…. 👍🏼👍🏼❤️👣
omg....such mindful care...its beautiful...wow..
That Otis! Always up staging and stealing the show!😀
I have fallen in love with the colorful and handsome Otis! Thank you for becoming his guardian and doing do much for him to lead a great life. 🐢💚
One thing about him which is utterly curious and intriguing is his apparent fascination with and desire to be in human company. He genuinely appears to like partaking in human activities and is quite personable.
Otis loves being with his humans so much you may have to hook him up with an intercom system with a "CALL" button.
Now that’d be something!
Otis-The ambassador ~adore him
Your little girl blowing kisses at Otis….🥰🥰❤️❤️🥰
"The Adventures of Otis the Box Turtle"!!!! :)
Otis is so cute and he is so sassy. Please breed this wonderful little guy and let him make many more babies like him.
My main man.... Otis!!!🤗
He is lovable.😍 Otis is the big turtle man.💖😎💖
So hilarious. It was like he was listening to your every word and going like “yep! That’s right!”
being handsome and cute, even is 2 year ago video....
CZcams really popped out and reminded us to enjoyed life for a moment
He's like a puppy. He's Apollo sweet.
Anything Otis. I Am In Love. What a curious little guy. You are wonderful with all the different animals. Thank you.
I think Ottis is human in turtle body. I love him so much.😊❤
Eastern Box🐢 some of the cutest 🐢 on the planet! 🤗
Otis is super conscious
It’s truly remarkable.
@@GardenStateTortoise Do you ever run “cognition tests”?
Yes, finally we can get them outside . 😉😁I’m trying to find an old video on how you built the outdoor enclosures.
Hey Jeff, if you go to our playlists, just go to habitat builds. The videos are in that playlist. Thanks!
Otis is really cute. I love his videos. Thanks so much for sharing this amazing little guy with tthe rest of the world.
What a kook! Glad to see him exploring outside ♥️
I LOVE OTIS! thank you so much for taking such grate care of him. ❤🐢
He is precious.
He is so adorable.
Otis World !
A nice place to be !
That's what I do with my turtle 🐢 ❤️
In love with Otis❤❤❤
I love Otis so much🤗
So very special.
Otis is so cute and adorable take care of him and y'all self love your video young lady 🐢🙋👍
Awsome to see that he is doing well 💚🐢
Time for the “Otis GoPro” . A day in the life of Americas favorite box turtle 🐢 ❤
5:52 - "he is strong enough to climb over these things"
Considering the amount of walking around/following people that dude does I'm surprised he doesn't leap over them.
I love Otis!😊❤️
Thank you for a joyful video, it’s always uplifting to have some Otis time and see him 😁
Otis! ❤❤
Getting to know Otis is fun. He's such a cool dude. I have a Louisiana river cooter. I have to show him where I dropped his food at even with him looking up as it drops into his tank so I have to tap by the food on the glass of the tank to get him to realize it's in the water. He's big and dumb but smart enough to know what his good container looks like so when I take it and let him see it he gets excited but still hasn't learned after many years of my feeding him that I've poured it into the water after I measure it into the lid.
That Otis is adorable! ❤️ Thank you for showing us! Hes a very pretty boy!!!!!
Otis ❤❤❤❤❤ Tfs 💜💜
That is the most charming turtle that I've ever seen.
Otis is my favorite CZcams star!
I feel like I learn something new everytime I watch one of your videos and I'm thankful. I'm struggling a bit with my little box turtle so all your knowledge is appreciated. Can't lie though. Otis videos are my favorite 🥰🤗🐢
I just love Otis!! He has the sweetest disposition. He is just awesome!
❤️💜💚
I love Otis
Otis is cute 😃
Sooo gorgeous and so smart !!! I got 2 new baby box turtles & Martha & ZIPPAH and man am I impressed with them! Keep the videos coming! 👍🐢❤️
Will do and thanks for watching!
when i was a little boy some 58 years ago. we lived near a woods that was full of box turtles. me and my friend mad enclosures to keep them in during the summer and let them go around mid august. we had this one turtle that either i would hold or my friend that would eat crickets from between your fingers. There would be a long line of little boys each with a cricket.
Otis will be like....
wow nice place but
i am too extrovert to be alone,
and i may be a box turtle and i think out of box.
Also Otis: oh ! human.... Hey, i am here, can't be unseen. Down here...
😍 Otis!
My dad's favorite animal, his spirit animal, was a turtle. I've always loved reptiles, amphibians, and "exotic" animals. All animals, really, but the scaly and shelled ones the most. They don't make much noise at all, but they speak volumes if you know how to listen.
My grand daughter (almost 10) is an animal lover like her Gam-ma. I almost feel guilty that there are more pics on my phone of animals, bugs and plants than of my kids and grands.
Almost... 😆😉
OH, he's a beautiful turtle! I live in NJ - up near Sandy Hook - and I can't travel very much. I hope he enjoys the spring weather (it's raining here) One of the other reptile channels Animal1guy takes his large reptiles outdoors and let them play in the wet grass on rainy days - the snakes and lizards love it, and the neighborhood kids come over to play with the animals. Everybody love it
❤Otis is the best 🙂
