best comment on all of youtube right here

Brooo literally haha

Gotta make sure Ike has the energy to finish the job.

Gotta keep him energized

nice

That’s the bro code LOL

I'd have issues figuring who is who with just two of them

When you start having tortoises as pet, you'll start recognising their distinctive features.

nice

@@shuraamano Agree. You just need to get used to them.

I’m surprised he doesn’t have an albino or another color morph to at least have some variety

Lmao

If you want to know something interesting, you should look up how the sounds were contrived for the raptors barking in the Jurassic Park movie franchise. That's why I'm here lol.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Timestamp pls

"WOW"

I been looking for this comment 😂

nice

Imagine minding your own business and being offered a sandwich in the middle of intercourse 🤣🤣🤣

He is a George Constanza turtle; eating and mating at the same time

I wish I had someone to offer a meal mid nut

Yes

Ah yes.. my heirs are coming along nicely

@@boneman137 Some of those must be the offspring from some of the other males, l would guess. It’s sort of a “Tortoise Commune” around there - Seventies- style “If you can’t be with the one you love, Love the one you’re with”.

I thought maybe he edited the video to "speed it up" for watching purposes. (KZfaq isn't for watching paint dry!)

Ah- Ah- Ah- Ooh snacks yes please Mmh Ah- Ah... xD

He doesn't say ah ah ah, he goes *wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow*

@@MannMannMannMann Someone has been paying attention!

@@CidYoung-REALTOR 😏🤫

@@MannMannMannMann 👍🏻💕💜😇

Uhh he does

@@patriot7624 Really? What makes you say that?

@@patriot7624 I dunno man,are you sure?

Nah, I don't think 🤔 he does... I think he Loves them! 😉😆

@@tiffineetramel8327 ok, explain why you would think that?

Ye

Agree 100%

Tortoise*

Yes it's cute the way he talks to them. He really loves them.

I love this person so much because I am very enthusiastic about animals too, wild animals...

@@jenniferjean he does:)

Mais alguém portugues

Oh

That's amazing! Thank you so much!! 🐢💚

@@TheTortoiseWhisperer I'm sure you get asked a lot but how intelligent are tortoises? Do they recognise you as you?

@@TheLoxxxton - l'm not 100% but l believe some would bite the finger of a stranger! 😄 youch! 🐢

@@NannupTiger yes i would imagine a bite from old IKE would sting a bit!! But would it only be strangers?

I'm so sorry for the late response!! So I just love tortoises and I've always been around them. Most of my tortoises are rescues and here in AZ it's the perfect weather for Sulcata Tortoises so they have the whole yard to explore (and space is very important for sulcatas). Unfortunately I'm not able to keep every single baby with the amount of babies they have, so after I make sure they are 100% healthy and ready, I'll let some go to new and good homes. I also like to send them in pairs so they aren't alone.

@@TheTortoiseWhisperer so nice

@@TheTortoiseWhisperer , why even breed them when there's so many that are in the pet trade already that need adoption? (Genuinely curious and didn't see a video with this topic.)

@@7LemonGwen well so that they didn't extinct

@@7LemonGwen I'm pretty sure he's not so much breeding them on purpose as much as there is no stopping Wow Master Ike I could be wrong but you knowwww

It's more like bawdy

@@death-by-ego Haaaay Buuuu-day!

9:45 is like that tortoise meme that says wow.

Correction: he can't "wow" them. 😁

Yup

I live in Arizona ☀️ These guys built all the burrows themselves! But during the rainy season I temporarily cover up the burrows and then the tortoises will stay inside of their heated tortoise shed. And yeah they poop a ton! hahaha lots of work but I love it 🐢

The poop is good plant fertilizer as it's just processed vegetation. They're vegans.

@@TheTortoiseWhisperer Does their poop make good compost for the garden after it decomposes? I mean, they are vegetarians, so there's no chance there might be pathogens like with canines.

@The Great Goat King Maybe that is not considered poor etiquette in “Tortoise World”. Yesterday, my goat, Sonny, pooped and peed in front of me several times while l was shearing him and giving him his pedicure!

Oh yeah he definitely runs the place around here lol

He pushed over a chair, didn't he? xD

How old is ike?

@@davidperry7271 old

@@davidperry7271 I think in one video it said Ike was 70+ yrs old..

@The Tortoise Whisperer - I want to know how you started out and, knowing how long they live, do you have a master plan for what to do with them after you pass on? How old were you when you started collecting and caring for them? I hope you’ll answer (eventually).

@TheTortoise Whisperer I want to know the answer to that question as well. Also, I may have asked this on another video, but why do you refer to some tortoises as rescues? Were they sick, injured, neglected or what? (Did someone grow tired of all the care they need, and give them up for adoption? And, also why do you keep them separated?

@The Tortoise Whisperer - I wish you would make one video to show your face and perhaps answer some of the most common comments, like time spent caring for them, and how you got started on raising Tortoises, and how much time you spend per week, caring for them etc., etc. Thanks for all you do. I find your videos very relaxing.

It’s actually not a turtle it’s a tortoise ! And yes there’s a difference

@@thecreativemessk yes, I know, but it’s still common to refer to them as turtles

@@pantherstar But, never fear, the Internet has correction Po-PO lurking everywhere, including on KZfaq! I enjoy what thing the videos to relax me, but some folks get their rocks off CORRECTING others, because then THEY CAN FEEL SUPERIOR! (Yikes, they need to get a life!)
