Lumpy is MOVING INTO Hercules Territory!

Рет қаралды 46,805

Жыл бұрын

Male sulcata tortoises are very territorial which means that moving lumpy out of his habitat and into Hercules enclosure with all of the other female sulcatas could a big problem. Will they battle each other? Sulcata fights are dangerous and can result in death and we can't let that happen!

We breed horses, I would never risk putting the stallions together so they could "work it out" The possibility for serious injury or death is too great. Is it a pain in the butt to have separate paddocks and shelters for the boys? You bet is it, cost a fortune, stallion fencing is not cheap! I am usually a HUGE fan but this video leaves me sad and disappointed. Build another heated shelter; you almost lost Lumpy once. Why put both he and Hercules at risk? This strikes me as sad and irresponsible. Hopefully both males do well.

Two things: 1) I'm impressed that you recognize that there is a difference between aggression and self-defense. So often in our modern human society the bully and the victim are treated as moral equivalents (especially in schools where cowardly bureaucrats are unwilling to punish bullies). 2) A slow speed fight can still be a high tension fight. This was a very engaging video.

What happens when they are in the same enclosure At night and one gets hurt or worse killed and you are not there to watch them closely why even chance it kenan especially when you know another tortoise has been killed Just build him another enclosure for him to stay at night

@loriw2661 Жыл бұрын

I’ve never kept tortoises and don’t know near what you do. However, if it were me, I’d build a small house for Lumpy with a heater, in his enclosure, and do it that way. With all of them inside one house it would be easy for one of them to trap another inside of it and kill it. 🐢❤️🐢

@dmartin9565 Жыл бұрын

This seems reckless. It may boost fertility and they may chill out, but Herc is getting tossed around by what he probably perceives to be a an older and weaker tortoise in his territory (even if you are the one flipping him). Lumpy had gout and other health issues. He may get stressed from having to battle another male. He also killed Brutus because his projections do look pretty dangerous for another tortoise. I am just not seeing the logic other than Lumpy is hard to lug around to warm places on your property.

Lumpy seems to have a taste for combat to the death! I know it’s not as simple to just “build an additional enclosure” but tortoise exemplify relentlessness as a general trait. Hell they live 100 years! One thing is for sure is that you shall have many many Sulcata eggs this year.

Kenan, Do you EVER imagine that these animals have voices?!? Right now, I'm imagining Lumpy with the voice of Marvin the Martian and Hercules has the voice of Foghorn Leghorn. Slinky doesn't talk... The Pink Panther Theme plays when he slinks onto camera or The Peter Gunn Theme (Spy Hunter videogame music) plays in the background when he gets frisky (basically when he's eating). The most spastic lizards talk like Donald Duck. The alligators are silent except for when they hide and spy on invaders. THEN, the Jaws theme plays!

@pamelaflirtyskunk7698 Жыл бұрын

I would imagine feeding them together would help as well? Maybe some yummy cactus from daddy Kenan? I've never had sulcatas, so I've learned from Kenan. I know many different species I've had across the board seem to do better if I can get them to eat together. Maybe because they have to let their guard down in front of each other a bit to do it. It seems like if it's a "treat" they get very excited about, it goes well. Of course, it's no instant fix but I feel it can really help. I think it also continues the bond with me as "mommy" and they focus on me and the food instead of each other, even for a short period of time.

There are a few species of reptiles that actually prefer milder temperatures and when it’s really cold a small heat lamp with the correct wattage would warm them up sufficiently I believe. I think Chinese cave geckos like cooler temps, as do fox snakes and painted turtles. Adam from Wickens Wicked Reptiles did a Top 5 video on Cold Tolerant reptile (and amphibian) species you should check out. ☺️

This was an educational presentation. We tend to forget that combat is a natural part in the breeding cycle of many animals. I am just having a worry in this particular case, given Lumpy’s past poor health. Could something bad happen later? Also I didn’t like much when you turned over the dominant male, possibly making him lose confidence and perhaps mating ability. It could be even worse if the females witnessed it and now be less receptive. The fight itself is impressive though, but in slow motion. I have watched only Testudo tortoises fight, and they are much nimbler. They are nimble generally though due to their much smaller size.

But how can you actually do anything else if you have to constantly watch these two?? Because the moment you walk away they will be at it, fighting, and I am sure it only takes a moment for a bad injury. So how can you go eat or feed the other animals? And do they keep it up at night too? Do they need 24 hour supervision?
