Gotta Get the BIG Turtles OUT of the Pond!

All of my big turtles including the fly river turtle need to come out of the backyard pond and go into the Aquascape pond to make room for Fred's gators! Subscribe to kamp kenan: goo.gl/BecCMM Visit Fluker Farms for deals on reptile food & gear: flukerfarms.com

This is so awesome. I know how much this means to the Kamp and the family. They know that the animals that Fred loved are going to a new home that will love them just as much as he did.

[@KampKenan]

👍🤠

[@kishdogg1594]

Will Chandler be taking some of the animals also?

[@randya2308]

@@kishdogg1594 I would probably give him time to grieve and he will update on his own channel.

@@randya2308 are chandler and Fred actually related? I always thought he was joking about it but I’m not 100 percent sure now.

I always chuckle to myself when people from Florida talk about their winters. That’s a not bad day in Scotland 😆 T-shirt weather for us 🙈 mad how opinions of weather can vary

[@Weeks25]

I gotta admit I’m kinda surprised that Kate is willing to have gators in the backyard… although living in Florida I guess they could be anywhere anyways! I can imagine she’s not thrilled about it though 😄 Can’t blame you one bit for wanting to help take some of Fred’s animals! I’m guessing Chandler will be taking some as well. I love the Fly River turtle, I think it’s because they look the most like a sea turtle. I’m a 36yr old stay at home mom with no reptiles but I still love being a fly on the wall at the Kamp 😊

[@onlyjuan100]

I’m so proud that Fred chose you to take over his legacy, I don’t know who else I could think could give them a beautiful forever home in your care! We love your work Kennan. I wish it was under better circumstances ❤️ 🐊

[@KensExotics]

I think you should build an archway with a Sign on top saying Fred's Croc Corner for his crocks. Two tall poles with a thick steel plate with the lettering plasma cut out. May Fred's memory and passion live on in all of us.

[@odran7085]

the fly river turtle is looking pretty good in the pond, you could say, she is looking..... pretty fly

[@lexslate2476]

And all the kampers say she's pretty fly for a chelonian.

[@Goose00123]

Kenan you are an amazing mentor to all of us. We love & appriciate all that you do :) when i started watching your channel, I was a strictly cat & dog person w/ reptile interests. You changed how I saw the world & the world of reptiles. Thank you for being you, I am sorry for the multiple losses you have faced in the past 6 months. ♡ from Oregon

[@pinkysaurusrex8964]

I'm so happy the crocodilians are on their way! Thank you for sharing Fred with us, and for taking his animals to a loving home. Wouldn't have known about that awesome human with you.

[@Trick-Framed]

I love that you will be calling the enclosure "Crocodile Corner", like Fred's. It's so apropos

[@Mooffgamesgamer]

So happy you found the musk turtle! You unintentionally just saved it from being buried or eaten by the gators

[@katiethebonelady]

Kenan noodling for turtles. Just a normal day in the Kamp. 😂 His old man noises with the bubbling of the water just make this so much more enjoyable. 🙃

[@amysuewest3826]

I love the fly river turtles. Their lil piggy snouts just make me laugh.

[@horsecrazykrissy]

The mentioning of Fred will never be boring. He is a legend that must live on from guys like you continuing to talk about him, his animals, and his legacy. You know he will be out there guiding you as you ready the facility for his gators. ♥️

[@lulib6372]

There really aren't many people who would feel so happy and honoured by a gift of crocodiles, it will be super interesting to see them get integrated into the camp

[@silentscales8631]

Its just so beautiful to see such great animals got to such a great person. Really glad I have been able to grow up watching Kenan since 2014, its now 2022, this year im turning 18 and can finally legally start everuthing for my own Reptile Sanctuary and breeding facility for Mexican and South-central american species of reptiles

[@johnjohnson5291]

Man I wish you all the best for your dream to set up a sanctuary I really do hope that you succeed

[@LionAndALamb]

Very kind of you to take on such a tremendous responsibility! Fred's legacy lives on! Kate is so amazing to support your passion to this level!

"You've heard of noodling? It's nothing. We're turtling." Lol!!!

[@paulafernandes6875]

I cant wait to see Freds Gators at the kamp..this iso Awesome Kennan always wanted some big reptiles like Crocs and Gators and now its finally happening....You were ALWAYS meant to have these Gators thats why you didn't get any before God knows. That FRED was gonna need you one day.This is so awesome cant wait to see the BIG BOYS

[@blip-2024]

Good morning from Canada! I am so thankful Fred' Crocodile Corner will live on at the Kamp.

[@loriw2661]

This was amazing!! Time to do a real thorough search of that pond before it gets filled in! There may be others in there. Fred wanted his gators to live out their lives in the best way and the best place possible……ergo, your place. He knew they’d get the best care and attention. It really is a great honor and is well earned! 🐊🐢❤️🐊🐢

[@dawnb1561]

Kenan this is a very special honor. Fred knew how well you loved your animals, other animals an took care of them. You talked all the time about one of your other favorite animals, the crocodilians. Setting up your own pond. So he left you some of his to take care of and now you can start off with his animals first. That’s such a gift from a friend. This blog was really fun as usual watching you catch the turtles. It was easy this time. Go around and do a head check on everyone as you start this project and through the project. You seem to have some escape artist. Lol!

[@ZackTheKack]

I love that Kenan has the same conversations that I'm sure we all do, and he just posts his on KZbin lol

[@H-When]

It's nice to be able to see them all swim clearly.

[@Unlucky_in_Kentucky]

I just cant imagine Kate is too thrilled about being so close to large crocodiles.

[@Poteluz]

Yup, I would never risk it with young kids around. It's not like hey they'll get scratched or hurt, it means easily death.

[@doma7109]

teach kids young I’ve been handling gators since I was 4 and I’m 76 now. Only got bit around 15 times.

[@Poteluz]

@@doma7109 lucky you and it's great to hear you never got seriously injured, but it still stands all it takes is one error and it's lights out. I personally wouldn't take the risk with my kids. I don't even understand the point of keeping alligators in Florida where they're abundant, it's not like it's an endangered species, they're literally everywhere.

[@buckydoedowner7598]

Kate knows Kenan loved reptiles way before he loved her. lol She knows what she got herself into. Those children have the best reptile mentor they could ask for as their step father, they will be just fine. Also i'd add probably over 98% of children respect and are scared to death of alligators/crocodiles.

[@shelley2998]

Kenan will be there with the kids when he lets them around the gators, he is a good owner to all his pets. And teaching the kids the right way to handle and be around them

[@bhutch216]

Reading the comments, I’ve learned that no one pays attention or watches the videos. Mata mata was re-homed in September 2020. There was a long video on it. The third Fly River was moved out around the same time. There has been wild gators in the pond before. The gator pond and the big pond are two separate ponds. Not sure why everyone asks the same questions every time.

Watching you noodling (Turtling) for your turtles 🐢 was actually neat to watch. I can't believe you found all of them. I'm sure there has to be more than 1 escapee. Great job!

[@benclark452]

Hey Kenan, love what your doing with the camp. Are you going to drain the pond completely?, before you fill in. Now you've found an escape turtle!

[@Ochibason]

Exciting. These big guys in this new pond will help stir up some of that silt to get it into the filter. I would expect it to be kinda cloudy for a while then go clear. Keep posted.

[@matthewsweeney1593]

Very cool. How many of Fred's alligators and caimans are you getting. I know he's looking down on you with a smile on his face seeing his animals going to a friend that he trusts

[@vicaroo001]

Thanks for bearing the cold temps and getting those final, fun shots of the turtles in the rec pond. I guess you'll have to really stay up on the filter cleaning with all that turtle doodie coming into the rec pond?

More proof of turtle intelligence! With lightning speed, all the relocated turtles found the parts of the pond with the siltiest bottom and all seem to be doing a secretive reconnoiter of their new home. Love your channel, Kenan!

[@TheOfficialSteelReign]

Hey Kenan, It's possible, though not probable, that I missed an episode but, have you ever addressed what happened to fly river turtle #3? I know you had three, then one went missing for a while. I believe you found it in the river terrapin pond (before you modified it to what it looks like now... maybe when Brian Barczyk was over visiting). Did you rehome it due to lack of space, or did it go on another walk-about?

[@daffhead4975]

Noodling sounds so funny, especially when the snapping turtles like the same kind of holes xD
