Caiman lizards are for sure a dream species, but they're something that has to have an abundance of space, time and finances at your disposal in order to be able to properly keep them. Kenan with your property and personal dedication to reptiles, I'd say would be one of the few perfect matches for keeping Caiman Lizards. I think they would be an awesome addition to the kamp. And hats off to Tom and his Nephew for the incredible enclosures and husbandry they're practicing down there.

[@ericpohlman5131]

Hi Mathew....Alijah is Tom's grandson.

[@justmyway508]

@@ericpohlman5131 You are correct, my apologies. I dont know why I typed nephew after just hearing Kenan introduce him as Toms Grandson. I was typing faster than my brain was correctly remembering I guess. Thanks for the correction, and have a safe and amazing new years.

[@ericpohlman5131]

@@justmyway508 No worries. Matthew, do lizards taste their food or I guess what I am trying to ask...Do they enjoy the taste of their food?

[@koldblooded1352]

Yep there cool I own one

[@loriw2661]

Kenan, you’ve got the perfect property, environment and respect for reptiles, that’s needed to keep Caimans. So yes! Absolutely! I think a Caiman enclosure is just what the Kamp needs!!🦎❤️🦎

[@willac145]

Can’t wait to see a caiman lizard habitat build and new lizards at the camp…

[@maryvallas772]

Oh my gosh, I LOVE those Caymen Lizards! The male was so funny the way he was following the camera like, "Look! Look at me! Am I not handsome? I am the MOST handsome lizard, yes?" 😂

[@bryonflaherty5957]

Alijah has those caiman lizard very “tame” the set up of that enclosure is amazing.

[@BrooklynHudson]

That Caiman Lizard is beautiful. They're like the parrots of the reptile world. And the yawn!!! My heart exploded

[@saltymaam2046]

I would love to see more Caiman lizards! Would be a fun project to watch from beginning with enclosure build to the end introducing them to their home.

[@elainembla]

Ok, so , the Cayman Lizard and the Black Dragons, my dream animals! Thankuou for introducing them. Tom is doing a great job with his breeding programs! Good to see Elijah joining the reptile world. Being soft spoken is a bonus when dealing with some lizards.

[@koldblooded1352]

Fr I have a caiman lizard now but I hope to own a black dragon someday

[@sherbear7612]

Elijah is doing a fantastic job. They are really beautiful with their coloring and the intelligence and inquisitiveness in their eyes speaks volumes. Happy, healthy animals growing and thriving. Thanks for showing us these amazing animals.

[@KampKenan]

thanks for watching!

[@sallyrutledge8238]

So impressed with Elijah... and the Caiman lizards too ! Beautiful creatures with a wonderful young man as their keeper.

[@jinjin0135]

Crutchfield always has the best enclosures. He makes sure his animals are happy!

[@lilyfreeborn3550]

This first iguana is so sweet!! She's so curious about the camera but soooooo chill while she's at it and she's B-E-A-Utiful!! I love her!!😍💙

[@jackpotjunkie]

🤣i know rite!! @LilyFreeborn itz fascinating how both Caimans didn't run nor hide... they were more curious like...🦎🤨🦎🤔..."Hmmm... I know Elijah, but who are these other human-beings entering my habitat..?.. hope they got some snails🐌to snack on..!" 😁

[@mrstaceyjackson]

that young man is a great example of what we are capable of, compassion and wisdom. really healthy looking lizards.

[@laurag1076]

Elijah... that's hands down the coolest lizard I've ever seen. Amazing.

[@KatsKats96720]

That Caiman lizard is the coolest! ❤ how freaking cute is that face!

[@amyb5339]

Best caiman lizard enclosure, excellent husbandry. That is one happy fella

[@coloraturaElise]

They're so cool! As a high school science teacher, it always makes me happy to see young people who are dedicated to learning so much about the animal kingdom!

[@JagaimoNoTensai]

Absolutely amazing to watch, thankyou everyone involved. What an stunningly glorious marvel of nature that is the Caiman lizard. And equally as glorious work by all at the farm, so beautiful to have the opportunity to see. Just love💞

[@scottbourret1190]

The Caiman lizards are gorgeous. They would be a really great addition to the camp. Having a custom habitat enclosure for a pair or more would be nice.

[@dallascoxsmk1]

It would be so awesome to see Caiman Lizards at the camp. Have always been THE dream species for me. At my local aquarium the caiman lizard enclosure is always a highlight for me.

[@cocotte9104]

The way Caiman lizards chew their food looks so "mammalian" and it's kinda cute. It's quite different from most reptiles who will just swallow food whole or tear it in pieces. Lovely creatures.

[@IrishTechGirl]

I love when you go visit Tom. His Rhinos are amazing but I have to say the Camien Lizards stole my heart. Just beautiful and you can see the curiosity in their eyes. Amazing!!

[@bendixon5912]

100% agree on getting caiman lizards and setting up an amazing aquascape enclosure

[@DKTek07]

Imagine having Tom as an uncle… awesome.

[@danny5551000]

I LOVE the idea of an aquascape pound kinda above ground level so you can have like a window to see the caiman lizard. Honestly caiman lizard should be the next project!

[@rhondaking6433]

oh gee!!, I was hoping you would say 'lets get a caiman lizard enclosurse set up' because I fell in love with these beautiful lizards! Yes Yes Yes!!!

[@alexparris5457]

Omg those guys are so awesome! His pair are so chill and curious! Get well soon Tom. Thanks for having us over.

[@Lonesome__Dove]

I love Toms animals. You can tell they get lots of interactions.

[@theflyingdutchguy9870]

aquatic lizards are some of the coolest species to keep out there. the habitats you can make are just endless and water features are always so cool. but ofcourse there is always a cost that comes with that

[@TeguBuzz]

Definitely would be a fun project to work on. Crutchfield never ceases to amaze, I actually got a pair of Lewisi hybrids a few weeks back from Vanessa. Male is about 3.5 years old, female approx 3. They came in dog tame. Looking forward to the next one Kenan! Would love to see caiman lizards at the Kamp.

[@jarodmcmichael9944]

Caiman lizards were the first exotic lizards I feel in love with. They are beautiful!!!

[@THEmightyQUINN777]

After seeing how cool caiman creek is you’ve got to have caiman lizards. They are beautiful creatures ❤

[@RedMonkeLarvae]

Yes please get these!! Those colors, the scales, the personality!

[@jyrex978]

Yes please. I think you should definitely get a couple of the caiman lizards for the kamp!

[@EdgarCastilloJr]

One of the coolest species of lizard out there! what a great pair elijah has been working with ! Honduras has got some pretty exotic looking animals thats for sure !

[@rickcroney1286]

Caiman lizards are absolutely awesome. A species I would love to work with one day!

[@Shipreckd]

YES. I think an Aquascape similar to Blake's Otter pond with an underwater viewing panel from outside the enclosure would be amazing for the Caiman Lizards, even a Sailfin would be awesome at the Kamp. I love Turts and Torts but my heart and passion will always be with the lizards and snakes, especially if water is involved.

[@melissaf.5898]

I love when u visit Toms house. Hope he has a speedy recovery.

[@janine2637]

The caiman lizard has been my dream animal ever since I had the pleasure of working with one a couple of years ago. They are incredibly smart and tame up very nicely once you give them the time, love and care. I would love to see this species at the camp, because I think you can provide an incredible habitat for them and show the world what great animals they are.

[@Tjsreptileworld]

Caiman lizards are so awesome and I didn't know there are iguana subspecies than the common green iguanas from Central and South America

[@KampKenan]

Love learning something new every day!

[@Tjsreptileworld]

@@KampKenan we could work with caiman lizards and iguana subspecies other than the common green iguanas from central and South America as well being common throughout Florida

[@jinjin0135]

Caiman lizards are probably my favorite! I didn't know they were related to tegus!

[@thepoisonquill]

I think you should absolutely get a couple of caiman lizards. I have never seen this animal before today. Thank you for bringing cool creatures like this to all of us!

[@sharim]

Great vid today, my first visit to Tom’s place. More visits here, please! Definitely YES YES YES on getting a caiman lizard-they are gorgeous and so very interesting and unusual looking.

[@floridacracker_]

Guy is a legend!! Feel for you Tom. I have a knee surgery coming in March 😮‍💨 I'm too young for that ships.

[@GarysTandAExotics]

I want one too. I have since I was a child and saw them at the San Diego Zoo. I could spend all day in the reptile area of that place. I remember when you were able to pet the Galapagos torts and when they had a ton of green iguanas. Its all different now.

[@TheJLAMAR23]

Caiman lizards are a must! I got one this year as one of my dream animals. It’s essentially a specialized half arboreal half aquatic tegu. Mines been tame as can be and I risked it with a farm bread one as well. It’s a show stopper for anyone who sees it! I’m actually doing a giant South American themed enclosure with them as well-side necks, green basilisk, and fish.

[@StormlilyRoe]

Caiman lizards, are a very cool species and fun to watch and interact with

[@Sophia-nk1iy]

I'm a little sad that when you were talking about the iguana delicatissima you didn't mention the first person to actually successfully breed them in the USA, Renata Carlseen! There need to be more female reptile keepers/breeders talked about and she is amazing! Had the opportunity to work for her when she was living in San Diego and she puts so much into her iguanas!

[@pumpkinchow]

You definitely need some caiman lizards for the Kamp

[@paxtonphillips5752]

My favorite reptile of all time.. would love to see you get a pair and set up a badass enclosure for these sick lizards

[@Yoshoggutha]

Tom's animals look so healthy and happy!

[@mraBJJ33]

Such beautiful species, I love tegus so they're like the water monitor of the Tegu complex

[@ryancalabria4647]

Kenan you have to get a pair. Their behavior would be awesome to document.

[@vanessamartin2186]

They are some awesome lizards!! I could see a couple of these at the Kamp, would be a great addition!!

[@YochevedDesigns]

I've never seen Cayman lizards before, but I'm in love! They would be a great species to have, but very time consuming. You can't just feed them once a week like some of your other reptiles. You'd have to cultivate your own snail farm, and have a good relationship with a fishmonger who can bring you the best seafood. That's not going to be cheap. It would certainly be worth the effort, but it's something to take into consideration. Unless Kate or Sophia is willing to help out, you can give up your 3 day bike rides.

[@vicaroo001]

That young man knows his stuff on Caiman Lizards!

[@ChunkyManeTheFrenchie]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Please get a pair asap!!!!!

[@susanfarish7451]

I’m in love with the Caiman lizards xx

[@ggoannas]

Knowing how well you set up habitats, I would love to see you breed cayman lizards. A mix with basilics would be absolute paradise. Seeing them actually have room to move and swim properly must show so many interesting behaviours. Truly a great idea to get some. Probably one of the best ideas, yet.

[@madhatter3994]

I think Caiman lizards and you would be perfect together!

[@sherkylady7765]

Would love to see the Caiman lizards at the Kamp. Great addition to the already impressive reptiles you have.

[@gg110888]

Wow, that Caiman lizard is beautiful.

[@kenatinl7309]

Most AWESOME video.....as always. thank you for sharing

[@talltraveler82]

Some Caiman Lizards on the Kamp would be so cool! We know you could make a dope enclosure for them!

[@assiahinarkansas]

Really cool lizards! Thanks for all the wonderful content this year. Happy new year!

[@stefanostokatlidis4861]

It is the first time seeing this impressive water tegu for more than a few seconds. You could easily provide for them.

Love discovering new Species on this channel, Especially after I just watched Avatar 2!

[@laurag1076]

Awsome. Awesome. I wanna see a rainforest water enclosure for butter cup though.

[@assassinschris]

I would love to see more basilisks , no one seems to keep them , i had one for like 14 years and he was amazing, miss my lil yoda , awesome video 👌👌👌

[@christinakindler9112]

I am now an official Kamp Kenan Patrom.. So excited❤️ I enjoyed seeing the Caimen lizards 🦎 Thanks for sharing!

[@jaquelbrown01]

I had a caiman lizard for a really long time. Water quality is a very important factor as well

[@saga2964]

Yes, SUPER cool animal! (So long as Slinks doesn't get jealous! 😉) Very dinosaur-looking, esp when just its head was peeking out!

[@Lonesome__Dove]

So...Kenan....when we getting the Caiman Lizard?? I think it'd be a fantastic addition to the Kamp. Perfect person and land for it.

[@SSBisboy]

Caimen lizards are hands down my favorite lizard. I think that would be a great addition to the camp! I've been wanting one of the youtubers I watch to get some so I don't have to 😂

[@sharongould2689]

those are amazing lizards! their faces remind me a bit of a native species to here the blue tongue lizard/ blue tongue skink (more something like the northern or eastern blue tongues rather than a bobtail), cept theyve got that forked tongue. Very cool. Ive always loved blue tongues especially bobtails (shinglebacks). Bobtails are soooo cool! We get them around here (I live in Perth West Aus) and its so cool watching them in the wild 🥰

I love the habitats Tom C. Has

[@antg9673]

[@evieharris1823]

I love Tom, Stacey, Vanessa and Elijah. Tom is leaving behind an incredible legacy with Vanessa and Elizabeth. I love his rhino iguana and the relationship he has with all his animals.did he ever get his Croc monitor that was stolen. I can't remember, was his name Jimmy or is that another one. Xxx❤️

[@evieharris1823]

The caiman are so beautifully coloured. Elijah has his grandfather's skill. Incredible❤️

[@lindsayshields1244]

Very cool lizard. Would love to see one at the kamp and what design you'd come up with for a cage build.

[@antonellamarmo1174]

Yes to caiman lizards 🥰 lovelovelove

2024 aquascape winter retreat build with Greg and Brian, designed by Ed! Designed like Blake’s otter pond, windowed so you could watch the aquatic behavior!

[@grumpycricket]

I would definitely like to see some caiman lizards at the kamp!

[@belizeguy]

Occasionally in the 70's, these guys would show up in the pet trade. They would not live long mainly because no one knew how to feed or care for them. I got a chance to visit with one that lived with a family for over 10 years, and it was a really strong and friendly animal. Good Luck!!

[@spearmanerica676]

Tom sir I pray 🙏🏾 ur knee surgery goes well I had both my knees replaced almost two yrs now I had no cartilage in either knee my left one had bone fragments my right knee soo much arthritis. U will do fine jus have too make sure my knees covered well I live in Philadelphiaits winter 🥶hurts the metal

[@mikeleahy1987]

From Philly as well it was cold past week thank god it’s like 50 now nd difference from what it was 50 feels like summer now

[@Alberad08]

Thank you for sharing your encounter with the Caiman Lizards! BTW I believe, if one takes the time to invest this, he'd find out that most animals are pretty smart because they have to make a living out there in the wild - you have to be smart if you want to survive under such conditions (off course with domesticated animals that might be different, as long as their aren't bred especially for intelligence and understanding humans).

[@thomasb4467]

Probably wouldn’t be too difficult to get a 40 gallon tank dedicated to producing snails for these guys.
