I was born and raised in Namibia, our Torts were always outside in a natural area and habitat. It has been a huge adjustment to raise in captivity here and my biggest concern is always enough humidity. This has been a great and very informative video, thank you! It would be helpful to list the equipment used for both indoor and outdoor habitats.

Definitely making me rethink my Box Turtle care. I want to move them to the basement. There is more room but I am worried about the mice I get. I also live in CT

Thanks Travis. As long as you have the space and means to provide for them you should be fine in Alabama

@@ernpyr space is no issue with 50 acres to build a pen for summer. But if i go large tort . I have been trying to figure out size and heating area needed in the barn for winter. Water care, heat retention, insulating level. Also trying to get a cost of feeding per yr once it hits about 100lbs. I can grow a lot of it. But maximum health is my goal.

Topanga is smoooooth, fig is a little lumpy considering he was raised outdoors in Arizona. Perhaps it's too dry there?? Awesome tortoises and having two of those you are gunna need a lot of space in the future! and maybe only keep exclusively them? Aldabras are the most beautiful of the giant tortoise species I think. Cheers Kevin!

I think you're right, there was a study that showed humidity might stop pyramiding, but in arizona, the tortoise will get a little bit of pyramiding, but nothing serious, pyramiding isn't always bad, they naturally go through it in the wild, so it's fine

Are your Aldabran tortoises the same sex ?. I used to have 2 red/yellow footed tortoises, but 1 died because it felt on its back trying to get on the other one. When we discovered it, it was already too late. They're a lil more than 2 yrs old. The one who died was a male and he used to bother the other one quite a lot lately before the 'accident' happened. I read on google that it can be hard to keep different sex tortoises in the same enclosure.

You should separate them first as if one tortoise had a virus or parasite in them, it would be pasted on to the other. I recommend to connect their poop and use a microscope.

So when they get 400lbs what r u gonna do with it, the backyard looks a bit small but might do, u would definitely need to rip up all the concrete and add grass, but during the winter time, at 400lbs, whats the plan ?😂
