Tortoises aren’t boring, uninteresting animals, they are fascinating and are actually a bit complex. Outdated information about tortoise care is still out there and over the years, more and more people raise them improperly because of it. Tortoises have specific needs which can vary from species to species. These requirements must be met in captivity when we keep them as pets or they will become deformed or even die early. Why do their shells get lumpy? Why do their beaks get overgrown? Why do some of them seem to just fail? Those questions are answered in this video as we take reptile education to another level by covering the top 5 most common mistakes people make when keeping or raising tortoises.
