Endangered turtles are laying eggs right in our backyard inside the expansive habitats we’ve built for them! It’s that time of year again which means sleepless nights and a lot of worry as we make sure we find the precious nests of eggs our hardworking mother turtles leave behind. Eggs left in the ground are a major target for predatory animals so it’s all up to us to find them and safely remove them for artificial incubation!

Who is Garden State Tortoise?

However you made it here, thank you and welcome to Garden State Tortoise. Garden State Tortoise is home to hundreds of animals from all around the world. We are a family dedicated to adventure, conservation of wildlife, and all things nature. We are a reptile rescue and breeding facility for more than ten years, offering refuge to those who need it, and working everyday to protect the beautiful world of reptiles in any way we can. Here on our YouTube channel you will be able to join us on our animal adventures while learning how to care for, protect, properly identify, feed and even breed many species of turtle, tortoise, snake and lizard. We even work with frogs and salamanders! We hope you enjoy our videos and help us share them with the world so we can continue to educate people of all ages about herpetology.
