I think Fred was your Aristotle and you his Alexander. Aristotle was a founding father of Zoology philosophy and science.

[@cynthialbell9023]

Hi Kenan I am so happy that Cher has made a nest, and laid some eggs. Fred we would be so proud of you. Such a good mom, protecting her nest. Lady Dale, and Snaggletooth love their enclosure. ❤Alligators, and Camen. Cindy

[@HeilwoodBeagles]

This is why Fred gifted his animals to you. He knew they would have great lives.

[@KampKenan]

:)

[@keldaMouse]

YES THIS!!!!! So lovely. Fred truly loved Kenan and so believed in him. it was touching to see.

[@cindyllax]

So cooooool!!!!!!

[@Kim-n8c6s]

Wow ❤

[@talltraveler82]

So dope, Fred would be stoked! Hopefully several viable eggs were laid... Freddie the Caiman could be a good name male or female 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ggoannas]

Wonderful news. And you are right. Do not touch the nest.

[@thefosterfam484]

Congratulations about the croc eggs!!!Dale and Snaggy are huge and amazing! Thanks for sharing..Can't wait to see the babies...

[@BettyRobinson-gg5tz]

Awesome!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 Can't wait to see what happens next!!! Alligator eggs would be awesome!!! Love you💖!!

[@reptilez13]

How cool! Congratulations! Im surprised you leave them instead of incubating, tho i suppose for content and teaching people its beneficial, and you can still help them along - that Florida weather just would worry me haha. Cant wait to see the babies! Especially Smooth Fronts! Usually see Cuviers from guys like Kevin and such.

[@Crazytown54-g1t]

Fred is truly missed, met him for the first time in Daytona and his wealth of knowledge was unending.

[@melissaf.5898]

Congrats Kenan! I know Fred is smiling down on Caymen Creek and Fred’s Lagoon. 👏🏼💜🙏

[@gmcenroe]

Fred will be proud of you and your caiman momma, fun video.

[@erickulakovich7303]

Finally some breeding 🔥 if dale and snags bred itd be full circle for fred🔥

[@jubileebay]

Fred was the best…his gift to you was a significant affirmation that you are a dedicated and responsible caretaker of his legacy animals..

[@Seabang84]

Money well spent! Native Floridian here who found your channel through Forrest Galante. So glad I did. Living the dream. God bless you, your family, and your beautiful animals you care so much for!

[@KampKenan]

Thank you so much Mary Ann. We think about him all the time

[@keldaMouse]

you got me crying and I only know about Fred through Kenan but he touched so many!

[@DianaSheward]

Oh my ! Why are all female crocodilians so stinkin' cute when acting aggro ???! Cher's nest is amazing,she must be so tired,making it,then laying all the eggs ! Now she's got a lengthy time of protecting them ! Dale and Cher rock ! Thank you for the video.👍🏼🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️🐊🐊🐊

[@HeilwoodBeagles]

You got to keep one of the babies and name it Fred

[@KampKenan]

Yes!

[@Sammie-Lou-Miss-UK]

[@petesdragons9887]

​@@KampKenanit would be a wholesome way to honor his legacy 💚 Fred will live on

[@emmasmart6112]

Congratulations on becoming a grandad to the scale babies . X

[@sheinz6119]

It will be wonderful when there are tiny Dino’s ! It so exciting. Really looking forward to 55 days from now!

[@reptilemetaljen]

I’m excited! Yes to baby gators and cayman’s 🐊🐊

[@StormlilyRoe]

Fred legacy lives on and Legends never die ❤

[@keldaMouse]

Congrats to Sonny and Cher. Caiman babies on the way to fulfil Fred's dream. How Lovely. Blessings to all at Kamp Kenan!

[@Everything.On.Wheels519]

Just an idea build a mesh cover to go over the nesting to protect the eggs and contain the babies when they hatch. We use 2x2 lumber to frame a box structure and cover it in 1/2 inch hardware mesh. We do this to cover endangered turtle nests when I am in Canada. That way you don't need to disturb the nest at all with piece of mind they won't get eaten after they hatch.

[@christianducray9422]

I love seeing and hearing this!! Fred is definitely with you there!! I hope his family is also super excited and happy to hear this news!!

[@TexasInRed]

I got so excited about the Caiman I forgot to tell you… I GOT MY SLINKZILLA SHIRT!!! I love it so much! Thank you ♥️🤗🤗🤗

[@SelinaMattocks-uv6yj]

What a legacy fred has left, he would be so proud of you kenan. He knew if anyone can get them in a comfortable place to breed, its you with the help of aquascape team that created this wonderful habitat for sonny and cher . You better watch your behind though, if looks could kill, cher has got your number buddy lol 😂😂😂

[@seasonallyferal1439]

Amazing brother congratulations

[@melaniezagata4402]

That would be fantastic! Kenan to have babies from Dale a Snagltootn!!!!❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@Iris_Germany]

Loved ❤ to see your dinosaurs 😊 Congratulations for Cher‘s nest and give Marge a kiss from the German Auntie 😂

[@Edelweiss1102]

I have no doubts Fred is up there somewhere with a big smile, he left his animals in the right loving and protecting hands. And I said it before, but I just love how the backyard has evolved from Sulcata farmland and the big pond to all of this over the past couple of years. Seing in turn into a full-blown jungle will be insane. Thanks for all the hard work and insights Kenan, it's always a joy to tune into your videos and seeing what's going on at the camp!

[@StarcraftGT500]

You my friend deserve all the subs, I can't wait till you hit that 1 million! Getting closer!

[@mleshoestar777]

The creek has filled in so well & congrats on the eggs! 🤞🤞🤞

[@Matt_The_Reptifish_Guy]

Next year you should put a camera in and get footage of her making the nest!!! That would be epic!!!

[@karenthomas2302]

Awesome sauce, can’t wait to find out what we have. Yes Fred would be jumping for joy. 😅 yay Tfs ❤😊

[@tinaweeks1349]

Very happy for you and Fred's legacy but you totally stressed her out Kenan. I know you're excited but you know better. Love you man. 😍

[@paleranger2.057]

a native florida landscape would be cool to build

[@monkey6690]

Yes we want to see snaggletooth babies we love that alligator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤️❤️

[@kaleshabastion2332]

It its wonderful that through you Fred is being remembered and because of his support and trust you're not just supporting the continuation of his legacy, but creating yours, that will continue with a young person you have supported and cheered on.

[@karaleeann1211]

Ask Tom for a couple firecracker plants and add them to the aviary, they would look really nice in there.❤‼️💯😊❤👍

[@jeffkoons4612]

Man!!! Babies I didn’t even think they were talking 👍👍✌️✌️😏

[@patsymacarthur330]

How awesome! I hope everything works out in the favor of Smooth Mama Chomps, by favor I mean animal care and husbandry That the eggs are fertile, eggs, viable, and the Kamp is able to raise up some baby crocodilians.

[@saflip969]

Congratulations with your possible first BBC nest, your big black caiman, of course 😎. Totally happy for you in achieving Fred's dream goal in dedication of his legacy! Youre a man of your word regardless if the eggs are successful or not. The effort you put into the enclosure and the comfortability you provide for all the reptiles and animals are all top knotch excellent 👌

[@staceyroberts3468]

Goodness, got me choked up thinking about how much Fred would love to see this! I miss him 💗

[@crystalbutterfly4812]

yea Fred would be so happy ! I remember when you would visit him and he would visit you. Fred is looking down and smiling at your wonderful place you have made.

[@pep2001bg]

Love the channel man, its been a while. Fred knew his animals would get the best care they could with you.

[@Peachwhaler26]

what a good mama

[@zachbaez2759]

Nice job! I’d put up a small privacy fence around the nest to keep her calm. She may not have laid yet. Keep up the good work!

[@frozenbluets8774]

Kenan you should look into growing plants that you can trim to feed to the turtles to help cut the cost of buying food for them and it would be a great enrichment for them.

[@StormlilyRoe]

Definitely babies snagtooth and Dale ,❤

[@buckydoedowner9040]

Yes Fred would be so proud!! Sure do miss that fella. The kamp has come so far in the last few years and there is no doubt it will continue to develop into the dream you have Kenan. Between you, Greg, Ed and the plant guru Mr. Holt great things are coming together. 😍

[@TiffanyKirkland-p7v]

Cher, I am very proud of you! Last year was a bust, but you did good this year!

[@SavageFitz07]

Congratulations!!! Sure he’s smiling from up above and so proud of what you’ve done for all those animals he entrusted you to look after. Keep up the amazing work!!!

Amazing Kenan! I've been watching for many years and will forever keep a place in my heart for Fred. Thank you for allowing me to get to know such a wonderful soul and guardian of our scaley friends! He is no doubt sharing in the excitement from the great beyond. Much love from AZ!

[@loriw2661]

To see that gorgeous nest is absolutely amazing. It says a lot about how she feels in her enclosure. Safe. Safe and so close to her natural habitat that she made a nest. Congrats Kenan! What an accomplishment!❤️🐊🐊❤️

[@KampKenan]

Thank you so much Lori!!

[@ericbeeman8717]

[@dawnjaroch395]

[@bluedeva]

Huge congratulations Kenan, You know that Fred would be over the moon happy with this news! All of Fred’s years of knowledge that he shared with you as well as his amazing animals has paid off. Fred knew that you would carry on his torch, loving his babies and making sure they have the very best lives. Sending every ounce of positive, healing vibes and hugs to you all 🤗🐢🤗

[@KampKenan]

Thank you so much bluedeva, much appreciated!!

[@TiffanyKirkland-p7v]

You tell Fred that I am very proud of her! I haven't had kids yet, and she has tried twice!

[@markhopatcong9866]

I've watched you since day one. You need to do a video going back to Fred's place. You know Chandler won't. Fred's legacy is all on you.

[@Willie-js6wr]

Awesome! Congratulations

[@KampKenan]

Thank you!!

[@YochevedDesigns]

Cher used to be so laid back, it's like her Mama switch was turned on! I think that you should turn part of your property into native wildflower meadow. Bees, butterflies, and other native wildlife are in desperate need of sanctuary spaces where they can survive.

[@The_Crucible714]

There are several alternatives people use for no-mow lawns other than grass that are native species, clover is just one. They handle heavy foot traffic well and provide food & shelter for indigenous (some endangered) species. Also, gardens for pollinators are the trend; native plants like orange milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa), butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii), purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) help the endangered Monarch butterfly & the honey bee whose populations are being threatened.

[@sallyrutledge4726]

As soon as I saw that big pile of leaves my Spirits SOARED ! And her protective behavior is a Very Good Sign ! Fingers Crossed !

[@KampKenan]

So excited for this. Really hope they are fertile!

[@bigcally5567]

All the enclosures are brilliant but caiman creek is my favourite for sure. Great work

I'm predicting an AVIARY coming......I think all those white birds were the clue

It will be great to see babies crocodiles ❤

[@janetjedrzejczyk1903]

[@brado9258]

This not only will be Freds legacy coming true but now a major part of your Legacy. Much respect you have continued the work thats important with these animals are thriving its exactly why Fred chose you. Its so cool to see the love transfered and displayed in all you do thank you.

[@saflip969]

I would advise you put up a tarp of some sort against the fence while you have contruction 🏗️🚧 and high traffic to help minimize the stress level of any "threat" while she attempt to protect her nest. You want your BBC mama to feel safe and not feel threatened to minimize her stress level otherwise she may just abandoned the nest to save herself if she feels highly threatened by all the machinery and high traffic of constructions during her nesting period. In the wild she would able to protect and scare off any predators that lurks near her babies. If she feels like she can't protect the nesting area and the threat never goes away she will abandon the area and save her self if she feels she's she unable to protect no longer.

[@laurag1076]

Awsome ❤ Would love dale n snaggletooth babies ❤

[@rachellehenson5568]

Omgosh!! Fantastic news!! I know you are just beside yourself. Praying they are fertile and make it out of the eggs. So exciting. She almost got you when she jumped. It scared me. She’s doing a good job being a momma and protecting that nest. Thanks so much for sharing this with us 💜🐊🙏

[@marypierce529]

Congratulations! I’m sure Fred is doing a happy dance about his Caiman laying eggs! You should keep a female and male name them Fred and Wilma! Lol

[@massimomallia4304]

Going back with memories to when you first moved caimans in the creek and they weren’t eating… you’re great Kenan, hugs from Denmark

[@squeakatu1981]

Congratulations, Grandpa and great grandpa Fred. Fred is looking down, smiling away. I look forward to following along with all the progress to come.

[@sherkylady7765]

Kenan, 55 days from 7/29 puts your date to dig up the eggs in the 3rd week of Sept. Better mark your calendar so you don’t go too long. (Edited for spelling)
