As a Vietnamese turtle keeper, I'm actually happy to see them safely live and breed in the US, which we dont really do here in Vietnam.

Living up north in the NYC tri-state region most turtle breeders do hibernate their animals for better breeding results in the spring some breeds seem to require it. Our Eastern Boxies would climb into large, plastic footlockers (drilled w/holes for air circulation) & filled with equal parts hay, dry leaves, peat & soil then misted to just moisten. Depending on the temps they’d usually be in full hibernation mode by the end of October. Then all the footlockers would be secured and put into an unheated part of the basement where they’d be kept just above freezing - 35F to 38F for about 4 1/2 - 5 mo’s. About once a month during the winter we’d sprinkle just a couple cup-fulls of water in each footlocker to prevent dehydration until early April. As they’d wake up they’d be soaked, fed and put outside into their successive breeding areas; 1 male: 2 - 3 females. We always had amazing luck hatching out babies of most local native species; Boxies, Spotteds, Painted, Blandings & NA Wood Turtles. We would allow the aquatic & semi-aquatic species to hibernate in the body of water within their enclosure; each specific to that breed. Yes, we would be amazed to see Painteds (especially) swimming below the ice on sunny days usually in Feb/Mar. Turtles/torties are amazing creatures worthy of all our respect and care!

[@Sassyspectical]

I didn’t even like turtles until I started watching your channel. Now I own and love them 💕

[@kcojco]

Didn’t dislike them, just never gave them much thought before Kenans channel.

[@ToastGrape]

Agreed same!

[@DanTheTurtleMan_]

Oh man, I loved when I did my internship with the TSA two years ago. Incredible experience!!!! I would go back in a heartbeat

[@kyleerosee3]

Im totally obsessed with turts and torts anymore. I wanna get a new turtle since mine passed a while back now been researching alot lately. Always love seeing you visit places like this.

[@IrishTechGirl]

My love for turtles and tortoises is off the charts thanks to you, Kenan. I'm trying to figure out which species is right for me and my family.

[@junaidshah6122]

Going for a walk on the treadmill and looking for something to watch. Seconds later you post this! Keep killing it, King 👑🐢

Nice!

[@jebVlogs556]

@@KampKenan ive been asking about this for awhile. do you have research book on all your animals? 😞cause when i was 4hClub and breeding my species of rabbit i wasnt required to do this but i did have a stud or blue book on the different colors and traits i encountered

[@jebVlogs556]

allocations and callocations kinda remind me of my caladiums or elephant ears. and ive seen the purple,violet and blue versions before however they are so hard to find 😔😕i want a yard eventually of different varieties and sub species

[@ianparkinson7039]

Hi Kenan very dedicated keepers it’s awesome we have people willing to dedicate their lives to helping animals to keep existing. Great Vlog cheers from down under everyone 🦘🦘🦎

Thank you for always giving me hope with the work you do with turtles. My favorite animals have a chance to survive thanks to you and your friends and the hard work you all do.

I would love a setup like this. I always enjoyed the standard concrete covered in plants style and this setup is so efficient for a large amount of turtles.

Those dividers are a great idea, the roof system too.

Absolutely FACINATING video! I love Nerdin' it up with some Turtle Nerds!! I've never kept turtles or even wanted to, but I'm so glad these dudes are doing what they do!

Always loved animals in general , reptiles having a big soft spot and snakes in particular but since i found kenan on youtube via brain barczyk channel a few yrs back now im total in love with tortioses and turtles i now own 2 musks a river cooter turtles and a horsefield tort. We did have a leopard tortise but unfortunately he passed away which was a very sad day as he was so personable .

[@Alberad08]

You met some great people here - thanks a lot for sharing this!

[@bettablue2660]

I recommend predator urine and facies in the enclosures. There is a European zoo that was struggling with breeding, and they built a rotating enclosure where three species shared every other day. One species was Leopards, the others two were Orangutans, and an Antelope species. Babies started coming quickly because of the predator pressure. A bit of fresh dog pee and poop could be very helpful. It’s easy enough to get😃

[@robertbakerii5469]

Great field trip! I’d love to see more field trips please and thank you.

Well, what else can you really expect from someone like that? He was probably just massaging a bowel movement.

I agree with the person that didn't really like turtles at first, but now does, and I should say I like a lot of reptiles that I was mostly afraid of before watching the Kamp.

I love all chelonians, but Boxes of all species are definitely my fave of all! Love my ornate (Lego) and three toed (Moe) very much as they've been featured on my own channel. I'd love to have them breed at some point, though not with each other but with members of their species/subspecies. Atm tho more focused on my Russian tortoises. All still very young but very active. Keep it up, Kenan!

Do you have indigenous turtles to the UK?

[@loispadgett6306]

My box turtles hibernate at different times of the year because they live indoors. 3 do it in the hot part of summer and comes out when it cools down. 1 seem to do it in late winter and comes out when it gets hot. I just let them do there own thing. There substrate is keeped at 6 inches deep so they can borrow down when they want. They are all female and 2 lay eggs but sadly on males. My 1 three toed is about 30 years old and I have had her about 26 years how. GOD BLESS 🐢💖🐢💖🐢💖
