Using my sulcata tortoise, we will explore the shell and look at the backbone and show how it is all part of the tortoises skeletal system. This is something every beginning tortoise keeper should be educated on. Plus we'll update you on Lumpy!

I have four tortoises Just like this one one of them is 100 pounds, I appreciate the education and learning how to continue to take better care of my animals. You’re a true inspiration for my channel Texas jungle thank you.

I love reptiles. I've been keeping reptiles for 10+ years. But the one and only animal I have never desired to own or even really learn about (they always seemed boring to me) were turtles/tortoises. I stumbled on your channel via the video where you almost lost Slinkey, and I've been binge-watching your videos ever since. In doing so, I have found myself sort of falling in love with the shell babies. I even feel myself sort of wanting one 🤣 I don't know much about these animals, so these videos like this are great! I had no idea they had feeling in their shells. So neat!

Shout out from Santa Barbara county! Keep it up! Recently found a female sulcata running by my house very odd.... she's doing well have yet to hear from her owners though. Put signs up and posted online.... she's just over a foot in diameter and weighs about 6 to 10 pounds. Have had reptiles in the past and sulcatas as well so she's in good hands

When I am explaining tortoise and turtle shells to kids, I get them to look at their fingernails. They can feel it when they touch the nail. They can press down and feel the bone underneath. Then I explain that the skin part is much thinner underneath the turtle's shell but still has blood and nerves to feel, feed and grow. Hopefully after the lesson, many of the students stop tapping on the shells unnecessarily. Good video. Thanks

Thats a perfect way of explaining it. I’m sure they still can’t resist the urge to tap. Kids will b kids🤠
