There are some slow parts since it is more of a free wheeling discussion than a presentation but it is definitely worth listening to. There is some discussion of the challenges in dealing with veterinarians that are applicable to many of the threads on this forum. Also lots of talk of emerging diseases in tortoises (and turtles too).

The cheloniacast group has a podcast/video they did with Dr. Elliot Jacobson that is another fantastic resource for tortoise disease information. That one is almost 4 hours long so maybe steer clear of that one @TammyJ

It immediately started putting me to sleep 😴. But that's just me...! 😅
i could watch that whole video , but i could not watch a movie that lasted over an hour 20 minutes........ i could read an 800 page technical book , but i couldn't even read "of mice or men", or "animal farm" in school......i have an entire room of my late wife's books, novels and biographies, takes imagination to read and watch that stuff, i don't have that........

not sure who this interests , i found it to be completely of interest to me ...... guys from UF........ seems credible to me ?

Thanks for sharing this.

I really like Dr Oz. The times I've spoken with him in the past, he was extremely willing to help and take time to really understand my concerns. We need more folks like him doing work on tortoise diseases.

i watched the 4 hr one , that took me 2x to get through it , due to time ....... it was excellent ... i doubt my own conclusions/opinions until i see folks like these validate them...... i've read a lot of Jacobsons authored/co-authored papers , was nice to see him talk about them and himself........ any veterinarian i ever personally knew had a lifelong love of animals......
