Awesome enclosure. You need to add 2 more items. A female friend and some mosquito fish for his little water feature to keep it from turning into a mosquito farm. Great job! Love it

Very nice natural looking enclosure! Many people don't do proper research before getting a new pet so I'm glad you took the time to do that for the turtle. He should be happy in his new home.

You were so incredibly gentle with him. So sweet

“Because I’m cheap” lol. Always a good day when a new Kayla video is uploaded. Keep killing it, Kayla.

Great video, Kayla! The addition of leaves to the pond was genius. With their tannins leaching into the water, I'm sure he feels far more secure than if it was just crystal-clear water. Very thoughtful!

This turtle has more living space than a japanese college student.

Such a happy turtle.

With the move and all the commotion, it was really nice to see him come out for the super worms. He reminds me of Otis and I hope he has the same outgoing personality! I’m sure I don’t need to tell anyone who Otis is!!! Lol 🐢❤️🐢

I have a box turtle enclosure in my back yard with 8 turtles. They are such awesome social turtles. Love seeing them wake up every spring.

This is amazing! I wouldn’t have thought to add the pond,I probably would have just added a shallow water dish for soaking because I didn’t realize box turtles could swim at all. Thanks for sharing!

He is so beautiful, Ilove the effort you put into the animal enclosure, it shows how much you care.

he's a beautiful turtle with a beautiful enclosure! love box turtles so much❤

I could watch this little guy forever. He’s the most perfect turtle I’ve ever seen. I love your channel!

awesome to see a nice size cage, WELL DONE ❤❤❤

I'm willing to bet these skills were passed down to Kayla. Very impressive. You can tell he really loves it there. The best part is when he goes into the pond head first. Great job!

One of those turtles just walked into my property, feed him a few worms and blueberries and he eat them all. Your video inspired me in creating a fun living space in my property so he and maybe his friend can come and chill 😀

This was such a fun video! You did a great job with the enclosure, I'm sure your new turtle will be so happy. Thanks for sharing 😊

Excellent specimen Kayla, and the fact that you built his enclosure adds a very nice touch and makes this just a bit better. Very creative and thoughtful. Great job

Wow 😮🐢 That's very impressive. A beautiful home for the sweet little guy. This shows how much work and love you put into your animals. Really exemplary.

Super cool eyes, his are really bright. Thanks for the vid

He is adorable! Reminds me of the box turtle I had as a kid. Turtles are such lovely creatures.

This is such a relaxing video! I love DIY projects where you can let your imagination run wild and create the perfect little slice of nature for the wild/wild critters! I won't lie though when I read the description of the video I was excited to see you build the actual enclosure with the Home Depot theme song (which totally slaps way more than it should tbh 😂) but this was great nonetheless! Also I'm curious to see how the Hibiscus and Boston Fern hold up in Canada!! You totally need to do a live orchid vivarium with orchid mantis too one day! Also Kayla using an angle grinder without safety goggles with the 'ah f*** it, I'll just squint' energy 😂😂😂

Great job. Beautiful setup for him.

Awesome enclosure. I absolutely loved how it came out. Keep up the awesome content Kayla 👍😀😎

UNO DE LOS MEJORES VIDEOS Q VI, FELICIDADES, ESPERO PUEDAS SUBIR OTRO VIDEO SIMILIAR A ESTE

Pretty crafty

He is so cool and your enclosure is fabulous. I think “ Bright Eyes “ would be a great name

Thanks for the idea! Love your video!

Cool Video Kayla ☺

Love turtles and very nice creative hobby

Love the lush enclosure. Watching this was sooooo soothing.

This is amazing! Imm going to build one for my girl! I can't wait!!❤❤❤

Awesome enclosure! Great idea on the cement mixing tub as a bath. I was going to add a oil drip pan to mine but might have to go snag one of those mixing tubs.

Nice work on the enclosure, I have 3 or 4 box turtles that show up every spring here in Yorktown, Va,I feed them some strawberries this morning. I think he really wanted to go for a swim.

Nice video to enjoy my morning coffee to. Greetings from Ohio, summer is finally here!!! I had a friend with a little outdoor yard pond that a bullfrog made his home, and we would just sit on the porch for hours listening to him. That frog had everything a frog could want. Clean water, plenty of bugs to eat, rocks and tall grass to hide in, rocks to get warm on. My project this year is to get a little pond going and try to attract one. Have coffee with hummingbirds and butterflies. lol

LOL @ "...using gravel I took from my own yard cause I'M CHEEEEAP." LOL

roy’s the star of the show

Thatsa some gooda soil. Good job putting all that hyper energy into this great project! Was really fun to watch

Nice to see you have a turtle now he needs a friend

Cool Beans

Love your channel

Great video. Funny 😂

Ayyy Kayla and Dave are back!

That's awsome 😁that's how you do it DIY style.This turtle's gonna have a perfect home 🤘

Great video 😊

What an awesome enclosure! 🤩✨ The lids are so cool and the entire setup is like a little paradise for him! I also love the box turtle’s red eyes and the hinge on his shell!

You gotta love naturalistic enclosures but one you can fit in! Gotta love it! Yea I've never owned a turtle or tortoise before... because when you buy them (in canada) the bank account goes way down🤣

Woo woo awesome job very nice. I’ll give me a chance. Hi turtle 🐢

Great video, cool enclosure, awesome turtle, and you have amazing hair. Would love to see a video about the property you are on, if you havent done one yet.

Amazing video! Not even the slightest bit afraid of getting them hands dirty I see! 😂

Awesomeness ❤

Great build--love how much space you gave your animal--we have three (all younger and smaller than yours and gave them a 5' x 15' enclosure). For water, we added a 30 gallon Home Depot pond and it overflowed into another large flower pot that was dug into be ground level. In that lower level, we used a small bucket (1.5 gallon I believe) as a pump vault and filled surrounded it with rocks large at the bottom and small gravel near the top and the return pump went to the upper level via PVC in a reverse underground filter manner. Basically, if you look at pond designs, the lower level works as an intake bay and the upper level works as a bog filter. All of that to say this kept the water flowing which eliminated mosquitos and kept the water cool for the turtles which are always in the bottom level drinking, soaking and eating snails that showed up in the plants. I wonder if the mosquito fish would bake in the filter-less method. It also keeps the water crystal clear, not stagnant and rainwater replenishes 90% of it. Lastly, I also used staples for the wire mesh but have replaced them all with U-Nails... the staples worked great for a while but seam to work their way loose and I feared the possibility of the turtles consuming them--at least while they're still shiny. Rusty ones probably get ignored.

Hello from Chattanooga, Tennessee. I'm a new subscriber. I so love your content. You have beautiful animals and I'm gonna bring watch your videos tonight when I get off work. Keep up the wonderful work!!!!!!

IT IS GOOD!! HAHAHAHAHA

My family had a box turtle that my older sister found when she was in Kindergarten back in the early 80's. She affectionately called him Mr. Creepy Head 😂😂. He loved swimming in our fish pond and eating tomatoes (but only ones from our garden, he refused store bought)

J’adore! Et mon fils de presque 4 ans aussi! Merci Kayla!

wow Kayla. yea use n recycle!this is amazing n turtle have a great habitat ❤

You need to upload your videos in 4K! With the amount of detail on them (vegetation etc), it comes out a bit blurry due to KZfaq's low bitrate. Amazing video as always!

That's a really good enclosure you did, btw the horse scared the shii outta me😂

Your great!! Funny, energetic, clever, great with your animals and just an all round great person! Keep it up 👍

Very nice enclosure for him it has everything that he needs and the screen covers were a great idea because they love to climb and they are really good escape artists. This is my favorite species and I have several in a pen that I have had for years and they are just coming out of hibernation.

I love your videos! So excited catching a new one. And can I have your hair PLEASE hahaha! Stunning, keep it up :)

Brad seems like a good name for a box turtle.

He looks like he needs a bigger swimming feature but I love it

awesome build for a beautiful turtle.

I do pest control and within recent years there’s a new type of mosquito control available that’s actually safe for pollinators. Doesn’t have spraying and actually sterilized the female mosquitos. I can send you some info on it if you’d like and you can see a If it’s available in your area !

Haha, those eyes under the rock! 😂

I'm a turtle nerd and you also a turtle keeper, new subscriber here! :-)

New subscriber awesome collection and channel 😀 😎

Complimenti sei bravissima, e la tua tartaruga è fantastica troppo bella.

❤️

Another great video! 🇨🇦🙌🏻🤘🏽

E venuto bellissimo, complimenti! E tu sei stupenda!❤❤❤

Heeey K.Roach!!! Really great outdoor enclosed habitat for that red eyed guy! Clever reuse of the planters. I have to gripe about one thing. Anytime you're using or are in the proximity of power tools. Eye protection, please and keep that hair pulled back & keep it all up under a hat. 👍

Great video! The enclosure looks really good and the Turtle is a beauty, love those eyes. Turtles and Tortoises are very cool. I have three young (one 2021 and two 2022) captive bred Red-Footed Tortoises at the moment and a 2023 captive bred Leopard Tortoise that is due to arrive on Thursday. And a Common Snapping Turtle that I have had since a baby about 12 years ago. Keep up the good work and it will be interesting to see how this enclosure grows.

S'cute!

Jeeeezus 20:56 is like it came out of a horror film! Such a cute little demon you got there Id name him Erythro

Congratulations, he's beautiful ❤

❤❤

Would you add some aquatic plants I think it would look so cute

Love all your content. Crushing major on u ❤

😍

I think Bowser would be a fun name for the little guy😊

You should get a baby box turtle.. their big eyes are adorable. I just got my box turtle hatchling today out in my garden.

I so want this for my box turtle and one for my tortoises 👀💚🐢

I absolutely wish you were my Lil boo thang😢 your personality is so wholesome and I completely adore you

I found this particular video really exciting. I am biased, but i wish chelonia were more popular within the reptile community. I feel many "reptile rooms" lack aquatic chelonian species. Also i love the larger water feature, it shows people that eastern terrapene species are capable of swimming and appreciate soaking.

She's amazing i keep saying it she's a bless the enclosure size is great idea the decor too i think another box tur....would be nice at least different species to provent breeding but love the enclosure idea you give the best house that someone can give to a tur....

n you Bob the builder too wow you rock

I applaud your efforts! Quick question did the turtle table say the subtropical geranium or the temperate winter hardy geranium (Geranium pratense)? There are a bunch of them to choose from that will come back for many years to give cover for your long lived tut tut.

Love the name Sherman for a box tortoise

Love the video ❤. Eees good, da! Raised to eat a little dirt to build the immune system 😊

He’s a good eater!

Love❤ n light xoxo

Turtles dig really deep! He can dig his way out! Did you put some wires around the enclosure about 18 inches around your enclosure and alone the bottom???

Nice setup! How often u change water? I heard some people say no need to change water after adding water plants and mosquito fishes But the water just smell really bad after a while, because they potty inside the water…

U rock

Buen video saludos des de México

Name suggestion: Every time this little guy turned to face the camera directly, Lord Shen from kung fu panda two popped into my head haha. I think it has to be the eyes haha, anyways thats my suggestion "Lord Shen" Also this is really an amazing build! we used to keep leopard tortoises when I lived in South Africa, had a little breeding program, so they've always been one of my favorite reptiles and I'm glad you get experience a chelonian too! Im sure he'll thrive in this new habitat!

What's more sexy then a girl who's not afraid to eat a bit of dirt and can also operate power tools!!!
