Nostradamus has such a beautiful face and personality that I can see why he’s your favorite. All of your animals and your property are beautiful. Thank you for welcoming us into your world!

[@Shaden0040]

Hey Kenan, I was watching the Garden State Turtles channel and he showed a fantastic idea to give your big tortoises exercise. Take a suet bird feeder and fill it with vatious greens and hang it just above the top of the tortoises shells so they have to stretch to reach them. Genius idea! Thought you might like to try it.

[@bluedeva]

I remember you building The galops and Nostradamus’s pool, many moons ago. It’s so great to see how Darwin now climbs all over the place. I love that even tho Socrates is the smallest of the three she doesn’t back down pushing her way thru to get to her food 🐢🐢🐢

[@BLACK0718BEAUTY]

Gd morning Kenan I’m so happy you are sharing this video with your gigantic babies I wish you could show them more often ❤️❤️❤️🐢🐢🐢

[@Annie_Annie__]

When I was a kid the zoo in my city let small kids ride the Galapagos and Aldabra tortoises. I remember riding them. I’m really glad they don’t do that anymore. I can’t imagine that was good for their backs. I don’t even think that zoo has Galapagos tortoises anymore, but they do still have Aldabra tortoises. So, kids can’t ride the tortoises, but they can feed them. That’s a much better and safer interaction for all involved.

[@shamiksathe5140]

I already love tortoises. These 3 just intensified the love.

[@KampKenan]

Awesome🤠

[@c.a.5808]

Dear Kenan, I loved this U-TUBE video! 😍 Yes... personality, in a receptive tortoise, can indeed spoil you in having a few favorites 😉! You're very blessed 🙏 to have the opportunity, to care and enjoy these two species of tortoises. What I like best... is your easy-going nature and you're ability to drive home the importance of the amount of time and do diligence required to properly care for these amazing, God-given creations. Those fortunate enough to receive the proper permits to acquire them, and their unique requirements, as well as the Maintenance Costs, Diet, to keep them healthy and sound, and growning properly, can't be underestimated! To appreciate the logistics in their transport and the importance of availability of a great Herp.Veterinarian (*on call, when things can, and do happen). As you touched on the required space and security, in keeping and protecting, such a valuable investment. As that pales... with the initial cost or investment of time required in keeping these species. Thank you also for educating those, who may think, just because they can afford one... but, don't take into account or realize, the many factors, that also can effect their proper growth, and development. Including Climate conditions, and locality with-in the state🇺🇸 they intend to raise it in. No animal should be physically hindered in their need for movement and natural sunlight from the keeper because of their local weather conditions. Husbandry is and always will be an on-going art, of learning and balancing for these long lived species, and their proper development. Sir, I truly appreciate your service to your animals and to the younger generations of those yet to come. As well as the young hobbyists who are discovering, these beautiful reptiles. All that said, It's a huge responsibility for their success... and in our ability for the government to allow and continue to write any state required "Permits, for us to keep and raise them! God bless, and thank you Kenan, keep up the great work! From an old cowgirl, 🏇 who was licensed with the Dept of Fish and Game in Rescue. In the High Desert 🏜 of So. Ca.

[@KampKenan]

Wow, we are speechless. Out response can’t possibly do your comment justice. Nothing but the most sincere thank for your kind words🙏🙏🙏🙏🤠

[@gd2234_]

Is there a genetic database for Galapagos and Aldabra tortoise? If so you should definitely have them added!

[@CalmDownLevelUp]

I got a leopard 4 years ago and was inspired by your videos to get him. His name is Gibby and he's awesome

[@sarkavajnerova2817]

I dont have any tortoise, i have just 3 cats and will get ball python but i love look at them. My friend got leopard tortoise year ago and it grows nicely. I am able to give him some tips thanks to Kenan so i am glad i found him around 3 years ago. =)

Thank you Kelly🙏🤠

An Atoll is a volcanic island with a coral reef around it, while the volcanic part has worn down to below sea level and the coral reef has grown to capture sand and soil and become the remainder of the island above sea level. Usualy the island reef takes the shape of a irregularly shaped ring around the original volcano.

[@Annie_Annie__]

Cool! I knew an atoll almost always had a lagoon in the middle but didn’t know why. That’s fascinating.

[@TypoHaven]

Wow 4 full minutes of socrates drinking that water 🌊.. I've never seen a turtle drink let alone so long I was worried it drowned for a second lol

[@shanafredlake312]

Your tortoises look amazing. A testiment to your care. Having worked with 15 aldabra and 7 galaps in zoos, I agree they are amazing. We have some super friendy galaps at the Dallas Zoo and if you ever get to the Dallas area hit me up. My reptile world started because of a 550 lb Aladabra named Barnaby. Also love the cyclura. Thanks for the amazing videos and great animal care

I dug it! I would love one, but no space or money for one.

Hi kamp kenan, we are in Knoxvilley kid loves tortoises (as well as turtles in general). We've been planning on going to the zoo, but as fans of your channel, it would cool say hi. Any chance you know what part of the day you will be there? I could take some time off and bring my wife and boy to the zoo then. Thank you.
