What's your favorite animal in my home?

I would love nothing more than a 1 hour long video of Forrest and Kenan geeking out on turtles together

What a serene household! I know it can get hectic but it’s beautiful to see someone so in love with nature. The garden was gorgeous!

How could anyone not love this guy? Forrest is a national treasure.

I love seeing Forest being able to rebuild his childhood environment in his new home with his new family!

I loved seeing the Western Painted Turtle, I see them all the time where I live. I helped dig up a nest of them earlier today, with the droughts the ground was rock hard and we got worried the nest we marked in the spring wouldn't be able to dig themselves out. 12 little baby painted turtles. Love your work Mr. Galante!

You're a good dude Forrest. This was a pleasure to see!

You’re a good man. No need for any other “content” than just watching you love all creatures.

Forrest as a fellow Californian it looks like you need a defendable space around your house. Wild fires are no joke we lost my entire hometown of paradise ca to wildfire. Now in the spring time is the time to get it done. Live your channel and thank you for an insight on your animals.

Love little horse and donkey but my fave were the giant toroises. Also love the way you nonchalantly ripped the flowers off to feed them. Great that you saved them all and that they live a wonderful life and are clearly very loved and spoilt!!

This is all awesome. Absolutely love that you rescue all these animals. I rescued a field mouse (western Pennsylvania mouse) I found outside when he was a tiny baby. I got him to his adolescent years and attempted to release him but he just wanted to stay where he was, so he lives in a 20gal aquarium in my living room. Oh and this was 4 years ago, he’s going on his 4th Christmas with us. Don’t know how long they live, but he’s been wonderful.

Forrest "one of my absolute favorites" Galante

At 5:47 when he shook the turtle so calmly all i could think of was the turtle freaking out in his shell thinking wtf is happening 😂😂 Been watching forrest years love his stuff ❤

I love the idea of using native snakes to control pests. Once when I lived in Costa Rica I had a baby boa come up to me on a seawall and I took it home to play with. A local lady I knew asked what I was going to do with it. I promised it to her and kept it a week or so. I fed it a baby chicken. Then I gave it to her to put in their ceiling for bat control. She let it go in the rafters. The bats moved out or got eaten.

The Blue-tongued skink is a Indonesian blue-tongued skink (Tiliqua gigas), more specifically it's the subspecies known as the Merauke blue-tongued skink (Tiliqua gigas evanescens), they are the biggest of the Indo's (Tiliqua gigas), that also includes the Common Indonesian blue-tongued skink (Tiliqua gigas gigas) and the Kei Island blue-tongued skink (Tiliqua gigas keyensis).

One of the coolest backyards I’ve ever seen..🤘

I really enjoyed the tour of your families pets. Thank you so much for taking the time to give us a personal tour. I sure miss your show extinct or alive. I really enjoy how you tell us all about the animals you were looking for and how excited you would get when you found the animal. ❤❤❤

I love all your turtles someday ill have a collection like that

I love watching you nerd out about animals, especially your animals. I can’t believe I waited this long to watch this video! Keep up all the great work you do

What’s up to all the fellow Brosners!

with the glasses on the hat he is definitely giving heavy santa barbra vibes. By miles my favorite animal in his house was his christmas pony Feliz!

I see a lot of video's with lots of animals like yours but they all live in Florida. It's nice to see someone in my neck of the woods with all the animals I love. I'm from San Jose, Ba.

Amazing Forrest, you are a great asset to the animal world

Is gizzard a king gizzard and the lizard wizard reference?

Forest is a great soul and incredibly articulate. I could listen to him talk for hours on end. Valuable information and passion❤

What a dream to have an Epic piece of property and wonderful animals, in such a Suuuuuper Pricey City! Fly River Turtle is just an Amazing creature!

I've lived in Cali all my life an never new there was native boas how cool

Your skink is exactly why I started rescuing them. There are so many species and they easily get confused. Even the Northerns need 40-60% humidity. They are some of the most rewarding animals. The Northern I recently rescued had some gnarly scale root due to her shed never fully coming off in to dry of an environment. 2 months later in the right conditions and her head is looking brand new!

Thanks so much for this Forrest. Glad that you put emphasis on responsible pet ownership.

Awesome collection, and cool that everyone has their own unique backstory

This was great, thank you for sharing.

Your house is amazing, I love it. Thank you for everything you do for the wildlife around the world. I hope that you'll have good luck with your expeditions and make a lot more great finds.

I used to operate an exotic animal rescue, rehab & rehome ( if possible ). I gave tours to families with children at feeding time. I had nearly EVERY SINGLE representation, of EVERY family of creatures, on earth. Insect ( scorpions ) , mammals, invertebrate, cephalapods ( octopus ) , fish, avian ( birds ) , reptiles, amphibians, corals, sponges, anenomes, crustaceans & so forth

Thank you for the tour. Beautiful 🙂 I love the passion

I'm a big fan of all that you do. Always loved animals and reptiles especially. I know what it's like to have tanks in every room. My last reptile was an emydura macquari. I find that turtles are the most interactive reptiles and actually get excited to see you. I'm a property caretaker and pet specialist. I'd love to work for you.

Most underappreciated animal KZfaqr ever.

@ForrestGalante Hurricane Katrina was circa 2005! Keep up the great work. I'm a big fan of your work! i've watched your Travel Channel show. Where you were able to map the genome of the (Extinct) Tasmanian Tiger And seen your Joe Rogan Experience Podcast interviews on Spotify. I am also subscribed to your Podcast as well on Spotify!🐖👨‍🔬🧬🧫

6:55 the babies swimming up to Forrest was so cute

His house is literally a turtle/tortoise rescue center. They’re not teenage or mutant but still pretty cool.

I'm in Nova Scotia. We have the Blandings turtle and painted turtles. Turtles are my favorite animals so I absolutely love Forrest's collection. The 2 from Zimbabwe are amazing. I like the Indian spotted turtle too :)

This is the life I always dream of, hopefully when I’m older I get a house that’s beautiful like this with amazing wildflowers and trees while having gorgeous animals, and to make it better have a job that involves animals like a rehaber job

Love the Rosy boas that have a lot of blue like that, blue-greys etc. Def a very varied boa, tho true boas are quite varied too! I keep Sonoran boas and a Colombian, then the True Red Tails, Bolivian/Brazillian Short Tails, Peru Long Tails etc. So varied! Awesome stuff man, so cool to get kids into animals and reptiles too. Given the negative reputation of reptiles and the stigma etc i especially appreciate that. My son still hasnt warmed up given his moms deep fear of snakes, but we will get there lol

Videos like this were you just sit and watch these beautiful animals is amazing....I feel cozy rn and at peace in mind and heart...time to play Minecraft again

The moment we've all been waiting for 🎉🎉

Expensive lawn ornaments😆 You are hilariously awesome Forrest!

Wow that garden is one a kind

Wow! Thanks so much for your wonderful tour Forrest, much appreciated! With so many beautiful turtles in your household, I was surprised to not see a snapping turtle. When i was a young lad, a great friend of mine and I used to go "turtle hunting" on occasion, in Southern Ontario, Canada. There were a number of distinct and gorgeous breeds we caught (and released of course) but my absolute fave were the baby Snappers we caught. With their rugged, spiked shells, long claws and razor sharp beaks, they were truly prehistoric beasts resembling animals that just crawled out of the Mesozoic Era, heh. I think your Son would be quite amazed by their distinct and unique attributes should you elect to adopt one. 🤩 Cheers Buddy!

Love fly river turtles. Been tempted to buy one from NERD for the last 15yrs.

All your animals and your garden/yard is beautiful ❤

Omg i love the little baby turtles!there so cute!

Omg!I love the baby turtle they are so cute!

omg the little baby turtles are so cute. I had a small red eared slider like that and he was just like those guys. Every time you approached the tank he would come at you and swim in his habitat looking for food. They're so cute and they recognize their owners.

being a country boy from Oklahoma, i gotta say the donkey was my favorite. Rosie came in a very close second

Gotta love those softshells, just so goofy animals

RESPECT 🙌

would be very delightful to see a future update on Baby Goff being transferred to the garden to make his new Big Goff life 🐍💚

Just love this guy ❤

“I don’t condone taking animals from the wild” proceeds to take a gopher snake and rosy boa haha. Love the video

I love turtles, ever since my first one at 4yrs old. I have wild gopher turtles living on my property, they eat the flowers and I think the wild blackberries. I seem the regularly walking through my yard.

You’re more than welcome to come out to the reservation in Southern California for ceremony brotha! Appreciate the work you do for the earth

Love it love the channel one day I hope to have the land to help rescue some turtles and things love what you do your passion channels great hopefully keeps growing learned about your work from podcast with joe but been a huge supporter and fan every since

I love the gopher snake and the rosy boas. Both tanks have the same top ans locking mechanism as my two kingnakes 40 gallon breeder tanks that thwy live in. I am partial to the snakes but loved all the animals. Thanks for thw tour!

We need more of this kind of content forest I love it

Love the turtle tanks so much bring me back to when i was little with mine

4:05 love the fact Forrest mentioned rugby 🤩🇿🇦🇿🇦

Thanks for the tour! That was very cool.

I love the fly river turtle one of my favorites

so special what an amazing person you are with a collection to match thank you for caring for your animals.

That baby snake 🤣🤣🤣 so adorable 🤣🤣🤣

Love the shows

Forrest, being the iconic as always. Whilst also being the coolest dad in existence

I really enjoyed that one. Thanks Forrest

perfect video. was uploaded right when my mrs when on break so we got to watch it together and she loved it

This is my absolute favorite of your KZfaq videos so far❤❤❤

Favorite animal, probably would be Rosie! I love the story on how you saved her life and how long you’ve had her. It’s an amazing testament to reptiles durability. I recently lost my 10 foot Retick in my attic, and I have no crawlspace heartbreaking not knowing if it’s going to survive or not, I moved to Oregon from Santa Barbara about seven years ago and would have loved to have known you lived there and maybe got to spend a little bit of time just talking to you and learning from you would’ve been amazing.

I love that almost every time he introduced a turtle, it was the coolest or his favorite lmao

Why am I so enthralled by these turtles

Agree, painted turtles are amazing

That baby Fry River is so damn freaking cuteeeeee

As a midwesterner I love when I see a turtle and my favorite is the painted turtle for its pretty colors.

Got my start in Zoos at SB Zoo and love your work. Coming back to SB this week for a visit. Love the city and love reptiles just like you! Well done with all your work. Beautiful house and beautiful population of animals.

Rosies are 100% the best pet snake. I had many many snakes, domestic and exotic.Rosies always got the handle for the squeamish. I had a coastal(Silverado Canyon) and a desert(Indio). Little garbage disposals, always good eaters.Cal kings are fun too, most of my old grounds are urbanized now. 😢

Forrest u have my dream property!!!!! I love all the animals, fruit trees, gardens, pond. How cool. I’m so jealous 🤣

I've been waiting for this tour for so long!

awesome..I use to have a red slider,,love them

You got this you’ll beat it and you’ve definitely inspired me to love and teach people about animals we have 23 animals 20 being reptiles and 3 being ferrets I’ve been watching you for a long time and you became my idle and I want to open my own Reptarium in ny and I have had some many times I wanted to give up then I watch your videos and look at my fiancé and animals and I think to my self I got this you have lots of people behind you and will push with you your definitely not alone on this battle we all got you Brian

Obsessed with your door! The tile and colors and door knocker, epic!

What a blessing from God that you have this amazing ability to take care of these animals. A true steward. Jesus is so happy.

Awesome set-up there! We have quite the rescue zoo going on at my place too 😅

Forrest has a Crosstrek! Awesome. Love mine.

and what a kick ass story of how ya saved the mini horse. you rock🎉

Love it!

Wow you really are living the dream such a beautiful home

The way he shook the box turtle to get the dirt off like it was an inanimate object 😂

Hey Forrest, your the man and I bow to you but one turtle lover to another, that is for sure a flordia box turtle and not an eastern. Keep up the awsome work. Your my hero!

I too absolutely love all turtles and tortoises!!

5:59 I believe Davis is an Ornate box turtle. Wonderful species, wish i could keep them but they are native to my state and protected.

That door knocker though!! Stunning food forest

Thanx for the tour! Enjoy World Cup beginning September 8th.

Awesome very interesting hello from New Zealand
