[@breonnapeters5974]

I love how involved the kids are with the animals! Leo seems more inclined toward filming which is awesome! Much love to all of you!

[@vicaroo001]

Leo's really come out of his shell a bit. Nice job Dad.

[@StoneAquatics]

Love the family vibes

[@The-Daylite]

You should give Leo a GoPro and have him record while you record so there's two camera angles it looks like he's really into the Tech side of what you do

[@carschmn]

“I’ve never actually sniffed my lizard.” Good sentence! 😆 Lobo booping Hercules was cute.

[@KampKenan]

👍🤠

[@StarcraftGT500]

I feel like that was a zing at Brain. What a weirdo going around sniffing his lizards. XD

[@reefnrod7159]

Maybe I don't pay close attention to other videos but I don't normally see Leo excited to do anything Kamp related so it was cool to see him excited to interact with some animals and hold the camera. Definitely let that kid do an entire filming of an episode one of these days. Awesome FAQ episode! 😎

[@justinluke7210]

My exact thought Leo finally comfortable and looks like he is really looking up to his stepfather as a dad

[@peachpollen]

I was thinking the same thing… also felt like he was super dismissed..

[@justinluke7210]

@@peachpollen I know he is not dismissed but maybe even through Kenan off. I know he loves him as his own

[@peachpollen]

@@justinluke7210 I don’t doubt that at all.. Kenan seems to be a great guy with all kinds of love for the little ones. Probably wasn’t the best word choice to communicate what I was thinking.. I was just meaning that the boy seems to be mature for his age and interested (which is a lot of the battle!!).. and if given the chance to film he may do a great job! Kenan may have just been in a hurry or he may even have wanted it a specific way this time.. as he was focused on the questions. Sometimes the littles have a way of growing up right under our eyes and before ya know it they aren’t that little boy struggling to hold the camera still anymore that’s all 😊.

[@JustNate87]

Absolutely love how you involve the kids in the kamp! They will benefit from it more than you know. They are really lucky to have a role model like you in their life. Keep up the great work. Those kids really look up to you.

[@42ZaphodB42]

Wow, the blackthroat junior didnt even attempt to flee, he just fought back instead. Really feisty! What a personality!

[@staceyroberts3468]

The moving bark was hilarious 😆😆😆😆

[@KampKenan]

👍🤠

[@movemellow5913]

KENAN! Leo needs to film, you’re always saying you want help. Water the seedling 🌱 Peace & Love

[@TheTerriparadise]

Aww I love seeing Leo. He was hanging on your every word. He's just not as outgoing as you and Sofia. I used to be very quiet as a child also. Much love to you and the family.

[@TheTerriparadise]

He needs his own camera so he can film too and make his own little videos.

[@staceyroberts3468]

Love it when the kids join in 😊. I swear Sofe reminds me of Kate so much! I’ve been wondering why it’s been so hard to find radiated tortoises for sale, now I finally know. Of course my fav tortoise would b pricey 🤪.

[@kimconley4679]

Sophia and Leo are growing up so fast. Time passes way to quickly. They both are such good kiddos. Much ✌️, ♥️, & respect to you and your family.

[@rosejohnson9957]

I love when the kids are hanging out with you. Sophia is so much help and Leo has grown so much. He's going to be a great filming person.

[@stephanieochoa3689]

Seeing the kids being involved with the reptiles and filming is great! Glad they love to help and care for the reptiles. You should do more Q&A's videos like this.

[@MelissaM83]

I'm so envious of your animals yes, but I'm also so jealous of your PLANTS lol !! I love having a beautiful garden and beautiful house plants and seeing all yours.... they're gorgeous!!!

[@Subtletext]

Train up Lobo and you'll never have opossum and raccoon issues again. I love that! Train hard now. Don't leave it too late like my Mum did with her lovely BUT CRAZY boys.

[@iden4371]

I love how involved the kids are and how great you are at teaching them! So awesome! Someday Sophia will be running the camp.

[@heidimj1380]

Great episode! The ability to ask questions "in person" without relying on our interpretation of commercial guides is invaluable. Regarding the black throat's smell, I've had a similar smell in my enclosures, but it turned out to be the contents of the enclosures (substrate, etc) themselves putting off that sweet smell just by being heated up by the basking lamps!

[@KampKenan]

Interesting🤠

[@oretho6406]

Those kids are so lucky to be growing up in such a great environment, many don't grow up amongst animals these days, and I think that stiffles their appreciation and understanding towards them... Keep up the good work. :)

[@aceofaces411]

I love seeing the kiddos help out dad. 👍🏾

[@sallyrutledge8238]

Leo and Sophia, Great work ! You two made this video Fantastic !!!

[@Tezz-4444]

KZbin is like, filming yourself sniffing your lizard huh? DEMONETIZED!! 🤣🤣 (I’m kidding!!)

[@smashley3500]

It's so nice to see Leo hanging out. For awhile, it seemed like he was annoyed with being around. And Soph has had a growth spurt!

[@adamphillipastaciovelazque1269]

I love every time I see the Kids with you and taking care of the animals.

[@BrooklynHudson]

I can't get over how grown the kids are. It's great that Leo has taken interest in the camera. A future cinematographer perhaps!

[@sueparras6028]

Love how involved the kids are. It's so important for kids to have a dog plus the reptiles give them some extra knowledge which we all know that you can never have too much of! Hope that you're getting Lobo some training for doing a little bit of guard duty. This doesn't always come naturally to dogs. But either way he's gonna be a great addition to Kamp Kenan!👍💯✌🇨🇦🇺🇦🐢🦎🐊🐍🐕

[@Annie-jp7yr]

It’s so nice to see the kids helping out

[@lovelife4111]

I really enjoyed this "Ask Kamp Kenan" segment ☀️

[@christopherjohnson5320]

absolutely love how much the kiddos help and are so interesting in everything

[@user-dv8cf9gi3z]

Want to see a whole video where Leo and Sophia get more involved! For instance try and let Leo do the camera work and have Sophia lead a tour of the kamp? I think that would be awesome and they would both love it

[@laurag1076]

Loved the little box turtles 🐢 with the crickets so cute!!!

[@KampKenan]

🤠

[@nancyegan841]

I can't believe how valuable those tortoises are! I know you have some loyal followers but I worry when someone is asking about how much they sell for. I hope you have your property well guarded, especially since you have had animals stolen in the past.

[@Subtletext]

❤ from your Aussie fans - good evening!

[@Jennifer-tf8ud]

Love seeing the kids. Your lucky to have such great helpers❤

[@moyramoller721]

Love how the kids are involved in feeding & looking after all your animals & love you passion in education & care of the animals! From Queensland Australia 🇦🇺

[@PredatoryTankBusters]

Good morning Kenan! Miss the question videos always some great info, love the Chinese box turtles!!

[@Donnamhm012]

Such a fun video! Great to see the kiddos out and about with you. What a cool place to grow up!

[@IrieRogue]

I've experienced that syrup smell before with a reptile, it was with a beardie. I'm not sure what it is that causes it, but it is a distinct maple syrup smell. She was a healthy girl, lived 9 years. Egg binding caused her to pass on. I miss her dearly.

[@KampKenan]

Sorry to hear that, but very interesting that you have experienced that before🤔

[@State48TurtleTortoise]

Baby Albino Sulcatas go for around $1500-2000 right now and adults go for about triple or more than what Kenan mentioned haha. They are definitely an investment animal at this point but within a couple years the price will come down for sure. Albino sulcatas are awesome!

[@haydendebarros1254]

I suspect the Syrup smell is likely a product of blackthroats being kept inside. I have a house snake and I've always noticed his musk smells almost like lemony chocolate if that makes any sense 🤣 So maybe something similar is happening with the monitors.

[@fetch2385]

"If your and omnivore, you'll eat anything that good for you" the humans over here eating bacon cheesburgers and oreos haha

[@vicaroo001]

I love question and answer vids! Love to see the kids having fun at The Kamp!

[@justinluke7210]

good to see the in a video with you Leo seems to be finally getting comfortable around the camera and looks as he is starting to really look up to you.

[@sharongould2689]

Thank you for the questions n answers vid 😊 great to see a slightly different aspect of what you do. Also good job to Leo and Soph helping out- I reckon Leo might be a good cameraman, he already seems to be getting the hang of it 😁

[@kaytlinsims6221]

Absolutely love how you interact with your kids and how you allow them to be involved and help you out! Would love to see more question answering videos in the future!

[@mandythompson8273]

Wow the young ones have grown so much. Love the animals from Australia

[@amystone6511]

Brian barczyks monitor is from Tanzania. I think there's a difference from where you get them....love that you smelled yours Kenan lol 🤍🦎🐢🐍🐊🤍

[@sonyagorniowsky8317]

You got beautiful Reptiles and cute kids Have a Gooday🤠✌🏻

[@Mark-nf9sy]

Sniffing the lizards 😆

[@shelley2998]

Think it cool that Sophia and Leo like to help you on the kamp, Leo must really like holding the camera, I see the kids taking over the kamp someday

[@piv9976]

he's a fiesty one, he thinks he's threatening but he actually looks so cute whipping his tail

[@benjg9683]

Good evening from Aus! 👍

[@Subtletext]

Hi from AU!

[@noobbuilderproductions7865]

I am currently in the process of pitching a study that I did recently to my high school principal. It’s about why our school should get a Burmese Star Tortoise and how it will benefit everyone while providing IT with a happy life. I already have the rest of the faculty on board with many of them wanting to house the animal in their rooms. 😂 The only one I haven’t spoken with is the head principal, so if she says yes then I will be so happy

[@davidvento5481]

Prices of chelonians have risen exponentially in recent years. Nearly twenty years ago I purchased 2 Star Tortoise hatchlings for $450. (each). Also, almost 9 years ago my Marginated & Blonde Leopard Tortoise hatchlings were $375. & $350. and my hatchling Spotted Turtles were $150. each. Now almost all species are three to four times as expensive. They were all acquired between 4 - 6 weeks of age from a reputable breeder. Although most hatchings are sold via mail order I prefer observing all potential purchases for a while to make sure they’re eating and behaving normally.

[@jondingwall5941]

Careful with the cost advertising as you don't want to inadvertently attract any more thieves

[@IrishTechGirl]

What great helpers you have! Teamwork

[@susanmartin3762]

Toss little Black Throats are adorable!....but OH NO!!! ! Lobo is starting to look like...A BIG DOG!!! Why do they have to grow so fast??

[@ismewhat1234]

Your kids are so cool❤👍

[@matthijsverweij3894]

Please keep this series going I love it

[@ithilweenshadowsong8151]

From my experience turtles and tortoises smell like dirt or close to wet dirt unless it has been a couple of days after they ate something because in that case they won't smell, they stink like the thing they ate but rotten.

[@marcusstrickland979]

Thank u for the Q&A.

[@KampKenan]

👍🤠

[@breonnapeters5974]

Good morning kenan!

[@KampKenan]

Good morning🤠

[@dougsotto9825]

You mentioned that only three of the radiated tortoise were your’s. Why aren’t you holding back the young to create your own colony?

[@staceyroberts3468]

I’d like to know too. They’re my favs

[@rocketbalboa5485]

hey kennan huge fan here when leo asks to hold the camera you gotta let him

[@KampKenan]

👍🤠

[@lindaramon4056]

Omg the kids have grown so fast beautiful they involved with the animals awesome

[@bambino2180]

I think you are a great stepfather for what I see all the time when you with the kids and that’s amazing because you now you not the real father for other people is really hard to have that connection with kids that they not the real father amazing jod

[@laurag1076]

Love seeing the kiddos 💕 hi Sophia and leo

[@gypsy_snake_chamer9602]

appreciating the long night of editing that went into posting this

[@Tezz-4444]

I also heard they let off a scent or “musk” but not sure if it’s when they are mad as a defense mechanism or if it’s pheromones they let off during breeding season or when marking their territory

[@zackmartinez.]

Where’d did u get those strips of plastic in your sulcatas shelter ? Would love to add some to mine !

[@quinntessentiallyme9894]

The Blackthroat Babies have gotten so big so fast!! It's crazy!!

[@christinakindler9112]

Great info on the Sulcatas. My Sulcatas keep me on my toes.

[@wolfganggang708]

"I've never actually smelt my lizards but let's go" nice

[@8fuzzybuzz]

if you had to choose only 1 species of turtle 1 species of tortoise and 1 species of monitors to keep / work with what would they be? .. anyways have a great day 😎👍🏻thanks for all the updates and info amazing video 👍🏻👍🏻

[@dislikebutton6269]

I had an argentine tegu who smelled like peanuts after her bath.

[@jasonjeffries4709]

Always love your insight! The Kamp is looking great

[@TheOfficialSteelReign]

I thought Sam gifted you an albino sulcata a year or two ago. Did it not make it? I had forgotten about that until you said you don't have one.

[@DontWorryAboutMyName721]

I think it'd be a fun video idea to let Leo film an entire video 🙂 he seems to enjoy it

[@RossJ316JC]

I really enjoy your videos, you and your family animal and human are amazing thanks for sharing.

[@kriegtiger]

I've noticed a smell on my savannah monitors and beardies, usually after a bath or soak, that I can only describe as cat urine.

[@zootenance]

Best episode, loved the q&a! 🙏🐢🦎

[@fishslayer7071]

Baby Black throats almost bigger than Bobby already! goooooood job

[@theworldsbroken]

"Listen I've never sniffed my Lizard" 😂 understandable response

[@susanfarish7451]

Here Tom better watch out , Leo will be taking his job lol xx

[@jackpotjunkie]

I see u got the kiddos working today huh Kenan?! Splendid. ;)

[@karencook3418]

Enjoyed question and answer video

[@nathansells3772]

In case anyone is wondering, the turtle under the bark was a loggerhead 🙃

[@trickshotboys8167]

Hey kenan, I have 2 red foot torts that are still juveniles I keep them indoors for now but we will build a outdoor enclosure. Do you know what plants I can get for them that are safe

[@christopherjohnson5320]

great video just sucks can not watch right away stuck working 12 hour shifts 9am to 9 pm and so miss waking up to another Kamp Kenan Video

[@edwardtorres803]

It was a “wood” turtle moving🤣

[@lauriepenner350]

The Chinese box turtles look plain but when they get a little dusty you can see what a beautiful pattern their shell plates have.

[@I_am_BiG_Al]

Love the tort vids!

[@KampKenan]

👍🤠

[@reptilemetaljen]

Good mornin! 🐢🦎

[@tiffanyshort119]

It's a logger back turtle!

[@kyleerosee3]

Excellent! Have a good one🤠

[@andrewhayes255]

Hi

[@KampKenan]

Hi🤠

[@Bram21]

When talking about prices of the animals i like living in Europe, they are way cheaper here. But despite that living in Europe is not the best anymore. The EU is the worst.

[@anthonycavallero6637]

I bath my tortoises in coffee ...cuddling fragrance😑 👍

[@theflyingdutchguy9870]

it is kinda weird adult tortoises are more expensive. ofcourse it takes a long time for them to grow up. but when you get them young you get a lot more time with them

[@torquess454]

Funny how reptiles smell, their pheromones, my adult male Beardie started smelling like burnt hair last year, apparently telling me he was coming into mating age 🤷‍♀️ neat-o! Dang those kids are doing great with you Kenan, best stepdad ever, I wish I had that with my step kids, but their mom was/is abusive and so associate me with her, I’m trying to show by example not every older woman in a mothering position is like her, it’s tough though, they sure can be hurtful and untrusting Love that Chinese bark back box turtle!! Lol
