World's Most Personable Reptile Leaves Garden State Tortoise! 2,000 Mile Journey

Personable, or homicidal? 🐢😲

Shelled puppy ❤❤❤ Otis 🐢🐢🐢

I have a sulcata tortoise her name is peaches she's 70 pounds and she would love to go on a trip.

Looks like a lot of fun! Thank you for your informative videos & fun ones too! I have a Hermann’s tortoise that follows me around & loves attention. He’s never bitten me.

Mini terrestrial placoderm 😊

Absolutely love Otis! He has the strongest and brightest personality!😂

I enjoyed this video so much! Otis was amazing as always and seeing everyone interacting with him was awesome 😊 You all are doing such a wonderful thing for the animal kingdom! Thank you!

Hear me out.. Otis has the same behaviour as marge does from kamp kenan. i think from a scientific perspective it would be interesting to see if Marge and Otis have anything in there bloods or even scans that's the same to rule out a parasite effecting their behaviour. as they seem fixated on the faces of essentially predators. would also be interesting to see if this face finding behaviour is also done towards other animals such as dogs etc

Ok, what was up with that guy sitting next to you, gulping water audibly and cracking his knuckles while you were speaking ??? How rude !

So glad Savannah mentioned Fred. Brought a tear to my eye. He was my mentor and the one truly responsible for my reptile obsession!

One of my western painted turtles is super friendly, curious and chill, he even will let me hold him and he’ll just look around and take in his surroundings while relaxing in my hand. He gets excited to see any and all people no matter what setting he’s in (unlike my other western painted who will interact with you if he’s in his tank or his little outside-time bin but gets stressed otherwise). He’ll even pause eating to “say hi” to me. It’s super cute. He’s 26yrs old and has always been like that. I hope I can someday meet the infamous Otis! Tell him Sam the painted turtle sends him happy turtle greetings! 🐢

Otis needs a skateboard! 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is some beautiful but due to lazy and it's shap and living in dirty water I don't like once I see it I sharing and don't like and don't eat any thing one I was going to school I saw a child of turtle I was changed my way for one month but in Europe and china the people eat it ❤❤❤

This is not clean and beautiful animal ex except this ❤❤

Seeing Otis always reminds me of the baby Red Eared Slider we had as kids (many decades ago). The turtle came in an awful plastic “island” with a fake palm tree in it…these were fur sale all over Florida and probably other parts of southern US. The turtle ended up being my mother’s turtle and was also outgoing like Otis. As soon as the turtle heard my mother’s voice, s/he would stick his little head out and walk over to my mom like a tiny puppy. They truly had a relationship…no biting involved, lol.

I love it!! Otis is an international celebrity. Dress him in a suit, tie and top hat! He's amazing and I just love him. I know how bad it hurts when my turtle sneaks up on me with a death grip bite. Tank bit me on my big toe while I was ironing and down came the iron, ironing board and my ass onto the floor. That was the first and last time I walked around barefoot around him. Boy, did hurt like Hades. 🦶🐢

What a cool event. I love that they totally worked with you to being Otis. And that ppl volunteered to get bit 😂 And everyone was so lovely. Saw some familiar faces, but really everyone you talked to was so nice ❤

Otis is wonderful😊

Otis was a star at Animalcon! 🐢🤩 Who couldn’t love that determined little turtle! 💚 I love seeing those young girls build those absolutely beautiful naturalistic enclosures! They really killed it! Well done girls and you have a great mom supporting your interests!
“No that’s not fair. Otis didn’t get Danny that hard.” 🤣 🤣 🤣
Thanks for showing some of the speeches. Hearing Brett Raymer honoring Brian and getting chocked up got me choked up! And Savannah too..I know she was close friends with him…Brian really was a friend to everybody! Such a great man who’ll be missed and always remembered!

And to think Otis wasn't wanted. Turtles bite & hard !!! Lol!

How fun. Otis is such a stud lol. You should pass on those genes.

I’m so happy to see Otis getting the love and attention that he deserves. He is a turtle of the people, after all! He must be in front of his adoring fans! ❤😂

I would go all fan girl for Otis to 🥹🥰

What about the turtle on the mini skateboard that chases his friend the cat? It's on You Tube.

This program is great, I want this program to be in my country, I want to participate in this program and I show my turtle, I really feel happy. ❤

GREAT JOB!

I like your dinosaur t-shirt

Omg what bugs to I need?!?

Wow That Is Huge!!!

Why does the meme "wait for me, I got little legs" come to mind?

Otis says he wants to be a tortoise. I have never seen a more personable animal than tortoises but Otis he is just special❤

"This guy has Alligators & he's afraid of a Box Turtle."
Funniest line ever!!

I love the human nature of 'oh this thing bites? I wanna try.' and then telling your friends they also have to get bit by the thing

Fantastic event, something like this would be so interesting. Unfortunately I live in CA. There must be something closer to me on the west coast?

I have some rainbow colored pride crocks. Would Otis like those do you think? Lol

My favorite part was Otis with the Wildlife Gentleman that he tried to bite in the nose 😂

Love Otis, we don't have tortoises in Australia. My son wants a turtle. Very snazzy shirt btw 👌 😊

Thank you

He needs a body gard, Otis does.

Otis is a savage and I love it. He stalked Danny like he was the treat after a meal. Great stuff.

AnimalCon was awesome! Thank you so much for sharing! Otis was such a boss! 😂 What a fun time 😁

He's sooooo cute and he knows it!!😊

“I’m the only one who looks different.” 🤣 I’m dead 💀

It's quite clear Otis loves not just the attention but the people too. He must think he's just a weird four legged human, such a big personality. Absolutely a 1 in a million animal.

This guy has alligators and he's afraid of a box turtle 😂
That's not fair 🤣

I heard you say Otis hated other turtles, but I had no clue he had been flipping other males over while at Popcorn 😲

So fun ❤

Thanks!

Please post the next animal con I live in Deltona and I would love to go I'm so happy I found you guys thank you Eileen Renales 😊

I cannot believe that man was planning on letting Otis bite his nose for no reason "Does it hurt? Are you serious? Does it really though?" 😂😂
