@C and C Tortoises thanks!

@Dale Brownhill thanks!

@js92css thanks!

@frank king thanks

Thanks for responding 😀...I made my own version of your habit. I use PVC pipes and hand pump with a 6 gal bottle water source. My tortoise is keeped inside for safety.

@ Q Tee Harvey, that’s great! Would love to see it

@Keith Cunningham thanks

@Alec McDade thanks

Awesome species

@riverside carnivores thanks!

@Caitlin G thanks, can’t go wrong with ninja turtles lol

@Noob Builder Productions that was in the design idea but decided to leave it open. They have been living there close to 1 year with no issues. Thanks, I appreciate that!

Thanks!

Thanks RueLaLaBeauty I appreciate it. They are a bit harder to find the cherry heads some times. I got them online from tortstork. They’re doing great!

Contact Southern Reptiles... he has excellent tortoises

Southern reptiles . Ryan is good

@lovespydooo thanks! I got mine from torkstork

Thanks @wonderful reptiles

@ Fernando Briones thanks! The enclosures have holes in the bottom which allow the water to drain properly through the substrate to avoid the flooding and it has worked great for me.

@@tacltogether Thx for the information

@ Fernando Briones anytime

@ Q tee Harvey, I don’t have the video of this build out process but I do have a video of another tortoise enclosure I built out coming out Thursday with many similar things I used for this one if you would like to see. But basically for this one I made a frame of pressure treated wood, after making the frame I used the plywood to enclose the box in the front, sides and back. I left a gap in the front bottom of the cage, so the plywood does not completely seal the floor, I put river rocks and that creates and easy area for water to drain out. I used clusia, prickly pear cactus, ferns and various grass species. It was all sealed for protection.

@@tacltogether Thank you for responding. I have one more question about the water system what the name of the water bowl.

@Q Tee Harvey no problem, thanks for watching. The bowl is a zoo med repti rock dish and the automatic water system is from rain bird.

@Mathew Cheadle honestly just made a very oversized planters box with the same substrate mix used in my other tortoise table build. I’m hoping they do breed in the future.

@@tacltogether where did you get yours from anyways??

@ja92css it all depends on the tortoise some more than others but if you keep them nice and clean they’ll always have nice coloration too them.

@ cha aguirre when I travel I do leave them in their enclosure. Their water bowl is on a automatic timer that refills with water twice a day so they always have fresh water. In regards to the food, before leaving I leave them a good amount of food and in their enclosure they also have edible plants in which they can eat. If I leave for a extended period I have friends and family that stop by to feed. Even though tortoise can go for pretty long periods with out food.

@Daysi 1928 they’ve been around for about a year and change

@@tacltogether Thank you, I have a similar wing of yours and I don't know how old I was

@Arshi B congrats on the hatchling. It’s kind of hard to tell at first, some of the areas you can look at are the head coloration, usually red foot have a yellowish head as they get older the cherry head have red. Also you can look at the legs coloration as well. It may take some time for you to really be able to tell as it grows. The care is essentially the same so you should be good there.

@DeeRealThor1211 rich cherry heads are very hardy species of tortoise and do very well. Optimally you should have them within that 80s-90s temp. Make sure they have a basking spot as well as an area to escape the direct heat. But they can go up to low temps for short periods of time of night times get a bit chilly where you are. I’ve seen them be in the 50s for short times with a place to hide and they are fine. But definitely shouldn’t be all the time should usually be with that 80s-90s F. Hope that helps.

@@tacltogether thanks. Can you make another video about your cherry head plastron and shell? Im not sure but i think mine has a pyramiding located his/her tail. How old your cherry? Bdw i love you enclosure. Thanks

@DeeRealThor1211 they’re about same age as your more or less now. I do another update video of them soon. Thanks, glad you liked the enclosure

@S Tomlinson the substrate in the enclosure I only replace as I see it needs to be refilled which is not often. I put a lot of worms to help with the decomposition of waste and other things.

@ GOC uzibo the total build cost was about $600. Including everything currently seen in the enclosure obviously besides the tortoise.

@Valorie West it’s a Zoo Med food dish. We just drilled a hole in it and converted it into a water bowl

@ afíq sinclair sure this is the automatic timer

@@tacltogether thank you

@Noob Builder Productions I believe about 3 months old at the time

Hey Krystian, thanks for the watch. They are both just a couple months old.

@@tacltogether Thanks, Do you know how big they will get as adults and how long that will take? I am thinking about getting one as I really love cherry head tortoises and this video really helped.

@ Krystian I’m glad to hear my video helped. Generally they grow about 11-14 inches as an adult. They grow very quickly for about the first 5-10 years then start growing more slowly after. They are great tortoise to have as pets because they are very hardy. Expect them to be around for a long time in most cases they live for about 50 years in captivity 😁

@@tacltogether Okay thanks.👍

@matteo Di Fiore it’s still to hard to tell but they were both temperature hatched for specific sexing as well as you can look at the notch on the bottom by their tale. Like I said it’s still to hard to tell but it’s just a guess for now.
