I have a JERKFACE Fly River Turtle!

[@willowashe]

I appreciate how Matt will often examine the animal and make observations based on what he sees as the viewer might. Quite a few times I’ve thought “what does that feel like?” only for Matt to touch the reptile’s back and describe it in relatable terms. I think it allows Kenan to get into his element where he shines without worrying as much about the camera/audience. Such a great addition!

[@jereksliwinski2789]

Totally agree, great addition to the team

[@MFoster392]

I don't know how you micromanage hundreds of animals by yourself and catch all the fighting and medical issues before they get out of control unlike a lot of channels who call themselves animal rescues or sanctuaries and have unhealthy animals and a high number of deaths, it truly amazes me :-)

[@joemungus6063]

He’s got kids and people that help out haha

[@andrewhodgson6985]

Because he's a legend 👍

[@melissatrader8528]

I believe you're one-hundred-per-cent right on that and he does tell us a lot but I think the ones that like a really out of control that that he didn't you know catch right away he doesn't tell us about like I don't know I'm nobody says perfect but then again but you are right though everything has shown so far we just don't know about what he's not showing

😂Jerkface, why is that so funny🤣 😂 thanks for the video Kenan

[@bluedeva]

I remember when one of the fly river escaped from the front pond and climbed the fence and went into the old back garden pond 😁 fly rivers are mischievous 😂

[@KampKenan]

That's right bluedeva!

[@Ezzabliss]

Great to see Matt interacting with you and the animals in the videos. His hand on the animals gives perspective not always clear in videos. Continue having fun together boys! 😊

[@cynthialbell9023]

Hi Kenan Your love, and passion for tortoises, and turtle's really shows. Jerk face to the tub for you. I know that you check on all of your reptiles every day. That way you can notice any problems, and give them the care that they need. I bet that water will cool you, and Matt off. Glad that you caught Jerk face. Love your channel. I have watched you for a long time. Those fly river are so interesting looking.❤🐢Cindy

[@downingkris7921]

"Jerkface"..🤣🤣We just love ya Mr. Kenan!!! Hi Matty!!!! Sexy Mr. Kenan!~..Did Matty jump in too??? LOL😙😙🥰

[@Rebekahxoxo]

Dedicated fly river turtle pond! Woop woop! 😍

[@laurafrith7900]

Fly Rivers are one of my favourite turtle species. They're native here in Australia so one day I might be able to house one and that would be a dream come true

[@keldaMouse]

I adore fly river turtles they are feisty and beautiful. so glad you have some of these lovey guys. thanks Kenan!

[@belizeguy]

Yes, I agree that the Fly River Turtles are most magnificent turtles, and most certainly unique, Everyone I know that has them complains about the aggression at one time or another. Those are some mighty fine looking animals. Happy Kampers indeed

[@leesreptilesandaquatics6368]

I love how you are so attentive to everything that goes on at your Kamp I been watching your channel for years and it's amazing to see how big and beautiful your Kamp has grown over the years. I hope to have a place like yours someday

[@nicholas87541]

Glad to see you taking care of issues early to prevent further problems from happening between the animals

[@RegenerativeMojave]

You're my inspiration Kenan! I bought six acres back in 2019 and slowly building it up so i can have a Mojave based wildlife sanctuary and homestead! One day i hope to be able to breed the Mojave desert tortoise and many other endangered species of the Mojave desert.

[@bkm2797]

Yeah, thinking that he might have become a bully because he was picked on, all living creatures are sentient, they have feelings too. Question, have you thought about adding some fish that Hoover algae up? Anyhoo, sorry he had to be moved, but it had to be done. Thanks Kenan and Matt for taking us along, see you soon!

[@loriw2661]

It IS possible to lovingly name an animal “Jerkface”. Lol🐢❤️

[@davidvento5481]

I once had a box turtle named “Lil’ M.F.” The first thing he did after I purchased him (and he knew his future was secure) was to urinate all over me! This caused me to shout “you lil’ m... f...!” Of course I only ever used his initials and would tell people they meant “My Friend” lol. Then there was J.B. (Just a B*tch) lovingly named because she basically was one. She was small but ornery and would make repeated, unprovoked attacks on my biggest male “Eagle @ss” (not unlike “Jerk Face.”) We just called him “Eagle,” his choice of names was a long story...

[@brycewilson2223]

Kenan can you go into more depth about how your relationship with Zoos work, or how the animal rescue process works?

[@tasteofcremettv6716]

I would love to see a fly river turtle breading project. Would be really cool to see a sick pound for them as well.

[@davidvento5481]

“Jerkface Parmigiana? Mmm 😂 _j/k_

[@vanessamartin2186]

the fly river turtles have such cute faces and noses!! So the jerk turtle gets his own solitude place for being bad!!

[@johnphillips5097]

Darth jerkface must be reconditioned to embrace the light side of the force, the underwater empire thriving is just awesome Kenan💯

[@KampKenan]

Darth Jerkface was never fully embraced by the empire

[@squeakatu1981]

For some reason I read the title as you had gotten a new turtle named jerkface turtle 😂😂. Just wanted to thank you, Tom, Matt and your family for all the wonderful videos and lives you do here.

[@KampKenan]

My pleasure!

[@kristinmcintosh91]

This was amazing! I love Aquascape! And even having two male red eared sliders I separate them when I see them boxing. Then when I put them back together they are sweeter to each other.

[@KampKenan]

Gotta seperate the kids every once in a while

[@annemarieacosta8775]

Beautiful pond ! Hope the Fly Rivers get along now ! 😊

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

There is one in every group, if only we could put the human variety in solitary, lol. I had to look it up but discovered turtle testicles (say that 5 times fast!) are tucked away in their body cavity. You are absolutely right about the long term consequences of abuse, including the fact that some children identify with the power of their abuser and become abusive themselves. If only we’d commit to good early intervention…

[@danriley5848]

Fly River turtles are mostly solitary and aggressive, keep up the great work. ✌🏻

[@KampKenan]

will do!

[@ringo5584]

Hi Kenan!you really have to make another mud pond like the gator pond for those turtles...aqua scape pond may be great for the eyes but a murky mud pond is what they need.

[@bighoss9962]

Id love to see the water turtles have their own pond some how .. I lovem personally

[@bhutch216]

Don’t forget you had the fly River that climb out of the front pond area and back into the Asian pond area when you still had it.

[@KampKenan]

That's right. Good memory Bob. So glad to see you back!!!!

[@StonedtotheBones13]

I was wondering what their lil claws/spurs were for on them. Cuties, I hope their new digs work well for em

Omg; This YT animated music video was made with The Man... The Legend... Kenan in mind! The Music is lit and when I saw Matt in the animation I fell out! “Turtley Awesome Dude Flipbook Animation” is the name *“Dusty Douglas” is the creator* SCROLL DOWN *It’s the thumbnail of a “Turtle holding a Wrench” (line drawing) The (first?) colorful Sea Turtle is just the lyrics, no video* *This randomly appeared in my YT feed. I tried directly linking it here in comments but “no bueno.” I’m pretty stoic but I almost wet myself watching this, it would be a great theme song! A must-see for every “turtle nerd”* 😂

[@anirbas1856]

There is a breeder in Austria of very rare turtles. Not sure which ones, but super rare!

[@sandymaciver5801]

I thought the baby snake neck turtles were in the big blue tub. Did they get moved to a different location? Great video. ❤

[@stefanostokatlidis4861]

I didn’t think that Fly river turtles can have such a bite force. I thought that they were just fruit eaters.

[@peterferguson2344]

Nice job at keeping the peace 👌 don't you just hate bullies

[@miguelianmiranda9158]

Predatory fins have a female flyriver 😊 hoping for a collab hehehe

[@johnwilkerson9804]

It's so strange that I discovered this species only this week and you have a herd of them 😂

[@shelygrimmer3344]

Maybe if you need siclides you could check with Rob's Aqualics or Bass Fishing. They catch them live and see if they will give you some siclids. They are Utubers too

[@lawrenberghanson4401]

Other than the videos do you keep written logs for situations like this to find patterns that aren't always obvious?

[@moisesafanador999]

@kampkenan What happened to all the cichlids in that pond, is overrun by guppies and I did not see any frontosa or Duboisi.

[@michaelmueller1520]

i wish they had a big muddy pond like the old one

[@BigggRoss]

I guess I don't understand why the FlyRiver is so popular. I mean our Native softshells are almost identical to them.

Brian Barczyk has 2 fly rivers! His are in plain jane aquariums tho. No where near as cool as the rec pond.

The damage to the shell we see inflicted by the turtles to each other, will they heal over time?

[@ansellexotics]

Does Paul not want a Jerkface for his 5500 pond??

[@davidvento5481]

Paul has a Fly River he keeps in an aquarium that’s much too small for a turtle his size. I’ve only ever seen him sitting in the corner looking depressed. Paul could put that one in his pond, or better still make enclosures for his reptiles outside, he does live in Florida.
