Hey i have an african spurred tortiose, his name is Torti! I live in queens ny..maybe we can meet up so they can interact with each other. That'd be pretty awesome. :)
Awwwwwwwwwwww i can't wait until my tortoises Barney and, Shauna are big enough to take for a walk they would love it as they already enjoy supervised walks in the garden. Thank you for posting it was nice to watch
@pimplick Feed it proper diets, give it calcium suppliments, keep it heated, just look after it. Its mainly the calcium and diets it needs with more than just shop bought foods; such as weeds.
He has a vitamin deficiency, your not feeding him the right food. Lettuce is one of the worst things you could feed him. Get tortoise food at the pet store please.
ACTUALLY you're not supposed to feed your tortoise food FROM the PET STORE most of there diet is hays, grasses, clover, and almost anything that is not from a grocery store, but can have a zucchini once in a while, or collard greens, and for a special treat, lettuce, but not as a main diet.
Sorry for being a know-it-all, but I just thought I would tell you.
pyramiding, my friend, has not been proven to be a result of poor "diet" or poor conditions. i have a spurred sulcatta, which is about this size, if not bigger. he has pyramiding as well, and has regular check-ups with the vet; who happens to be a specialist, and there is nothing wrong with his diet or environment.... on the contrary, he's quite healthy. cheers.
@zoosetful the only tortoise that I know of that is supposed to have a shell like that is the Indian star tortoise, sulcatas are NOT supposed to have that type of shell.
when your next to a tortoise they actually walk surprisingly quick, I always used to loose mine in the house, the second you take your eye off it, the second it shouts 'FREEDOM' and runs..
I am concerned about him strolling the filthy streets - I lived in manhattan 31 years - and the east village most of them and the streets have some funky stuff. Do you wash him well when you get home? Also you can put mole skin on his feet to protect them from the germs and glass etc. Also, please do follow the advice below about his diet... he is "pyramided" and thats not good. Good he shows vitality and I know you love him, so a better diet & washing him post-stroll will help him survive.
OMG This is awesome!!! I have a very friendly red eared slider that I take out for walks in NYC too!! He loves it! Thanks for uploading. Speed bump is very gorgeous.
for one that guy is an attention whore, walking a tortoise in the east village? Gay? and for two he has no idea how to take care of a tortoise look at that shell yikes!!! someone needs to call the aspca
@old16tattoo That is the actual shape of a spurred turtles shell O_O. At an aquarium I saw one with a different bump design on its shell like Speed Bump. And this aquarium has to keep the animals healthy.
@Flamearation sorry partner but some of the most unhealthy animals live at aquariums and zoos i own a large sulcata and no healthy tortoises shell should ever look like this
@old16tattoo Yeah well this aquarium has healthy animals. Not unhealthy. I don't mean just by the looks but they make sure these animals are healthy. Do you own a spurred turtle? Their shells look like that sometimes? That turtle is healthy. I dont own a sulcata but their shells look like SPURRS.
@Flamearation the proper terminology is Geochelone sulcata and they are not turtles they are a land dwelling tortoise and yes i do own an african spurred tortoise but the common name is sulcata sorry to confuse you but thanks for your input anyway if you want to see what a healthy sulcata looks like google the words healthy sulcata then just for comparison look up unhealthy sulcata
Oh, sure. Animal cops are always so quick to rescue an abused dog or cat (which is perfectly fine), but when there's a neglected tortoise, no one cares.
Lettuce is what you feed him? I would understand that if it was only once or twice a month, and for a snack, but by his pyramiding, that is the idea you're giving me. for Speed Bump's sake put him on a nutritous diet As Soon As Posible.
@adde123ranks The Biggest Turtles are the Snappers & Asian, Nile, Florida Softshell. Also the Sea the leather back is the largest turtle in the sea. Tortoises comes to medium to Giants of the Galapagos
This ignorant man disgusts me. This poor sulcata tortoise has terrible pyramiding. Why the hell is pet rescue to quick to help an unhealthy dog or cat, but no one really gives a shit about the poor tortoise?
@555KnotFan666 How do u know he doesnt have 'feelings', how do u know he doesn't love walking everyday experiencing the senses out there? if it were that bad he wouldn't be moving or walking EVERY DAY.
I love how you weirdos compare a tortoise to a concentration camp prisoner.
This tortoise being out on the streets brings alot more awareness to the general wellbeing of tortoises than hippies like you who scream/cry and overreact whenever an animal isn't being treated like a royal family member.
@AussieHoosier Because the tortoise's mind is too simple to feel emotions. You obviously don't know anything about the tortoise's body. Its shell's condition is really bad. What happens is if the tortoise doesn't get the proper amounts of calcium, its shell weakens & does something called pyramiding. Have you ever even seen a healthy sulcata tortoise shell? This tort eats its food off of a NYC sidewalk. Would you do that? It shouldn't be treated like royalty, but just be treated right.
@555KnotFan666 You might have a point about eating off the New York sidewalk, but for all you know he may be a rescue tortoise of sorts, where the owner bought him with his shell already this way.
And I think you're elevating the concept "emotions" too high. Emotions are just what humans call their animal insticts, strong commanding feelings that goad them into action or out of action. I'm sure the tortoise walks because it feels pleasurable in the same way eating does.
Extremely severe metabolic bone disease very evident with the carapace there. Bad choice of food, lettuce isn't nutritional enough for Spur Thighed Tortoises, he's also prepared & presented it wrong. Shouldn't take it out where it can pick up diseases & finally, it's a TORTOISE, not a bloody TURTLE!
nice video really cool i have a yellow footed tortoise. i let him out in the front yard to roam and explore. ill have to start taking him for walks around the neighborhood.
Adorable, but New York is no place for a tortoise in the winter, especially when it gets too big to fit in your house. Also, learn to take care of his shell because it looks like shit.
Robert his shell is not supposed to look like that..... please read up on proper nutrition and the need for sunlight (not through glass)..... This can be improved.
I sure hope that the turtle's shell was Pyramiding before he got it and that he's now giving it a better home. If not, you sir, should not be owning a tortoise.
show off! the polluted streets of new york are no place for a tortoise, the tortoise has a bad shell, he needs to take it to a vet and stop walking it on the streets
Please be sure SpeedBump gets his Calcium and more than lettuce. Sulcatas eat zucchini, kale, collards, carrots and love Mazuri Tortoise Chow. Please give him proper lighting.... his shell indicates he is quite ill with metabolic bone disease. This affects his organs esp kidneys. He may be cute but he is not being helped by walking on those filthy streets. They eat hay and grass too. Do your research please. And no dogs!
hey is the temp 64 degrees in the morning and plus you feed him wrong u r suppose to dry grass get it from stores man no wonder his shell isnt perfect
It's called speed bump cos it's been hit by a car and this guy rescued it it also looks about 8 years old I know it looks in terrible condition but this guy RESCUED it it was this way when he got it! Geez think before you type
Speed Bump needs to be eating grass. Mine prefers Bermuda. Lettace is bad for a tortoise. They can not digest it very well and no nutritional value. Grasses, and maybe a little kale, greens (mustard, collard, turnip) is ok. Mine also likes zuchinni squash and my second one - also named Speed Bump likes mangos once in a while.
....Not enough calcium in the diet. Calcium is very important for proper growth! .... Little or no exposure to natural sunlight. Tortoises kept indoors are much more prone.
.... Inadequate intake of Vitamin D3 in the diet and/or too much Phosphorus.
.. Intake of grocery produce which contains too much moisture, has little vitamin content and not nearly enough fiber
yeah this tortoise has a severely deformed shell. its not because its old. Its lack of UV rays and a poor diet. also you shouldnt be bringing this tortoise for walks unless its atleast 65 degrees.
@coolio3163: you obviously dont know what youre talking about. its shell is NOT supposed to look like that. it lacks calcium. its shell is what you call a pyramid shell, which is when a tort lacks calcium, it starts to get bumps & deforms a lot. though some torts are meant to have bumps. just not that sever...
Hey i have an african spurred tortiose, his name is Torti! I live in queens ny..maybe we can meet up so they can interact with each other. That'd be pretty awesome. :)

Speed Bump needs to be eating grass. Mine prefers Bermuda. Lettace is bad for a tortoise. They can not digest it very well and no nutritional value.

This is pretty sad. This tortoise is in terrible physical condtion.
It is too dirty (New York Streets) to "walk" him outside. He gets a lot to eat, just not the right food.

.this shell is caused by A diet which contains animal proteins (many tortoises are vegetarian animals, and eat NO meat whatsoever.)
.... A diet which contains a high percentage of vegetable proteins, even for vegetarian tortoises.

....Not enough calcium in the diet. Calcium is very important for proper growth! .... Little or no exposure to natural sunlight. Tortoises kept indoors are much more prone.
.... Inadequate intake of Vitamin D3 in the diet and/or too much Phosphorus.
.. Intake of grocery produce which contains too much moisture, has little vitamin content and not nearly enough fiber

yeah this tortoise has a severely deformed shell. its not because its old. Its lack of UV rays and a poor diet. also you shouldnt be bringing this tortoise for walks unless its atleast 65 degrees.

i think it lacks calcium. you can tell because of its piramid shell. sulcattas should be like that. they should be smooth.

I hope you rescued that tortoise, otherwise you need to give it up because it has some severe pyramiding and MBD.

@coolio3163: you obviously dont know what youre talking about. its shell is NOT supposed to look like that. it lacks calcium. its shell is what you call a pyramid shell, which is when a tort lacks calcium, it starts to get bumps & deforms a lot. though some torts are meant to have bumps. just not that sever...
