Tropical Storm Hits Kamp Kenan in Winter!

[@WesleyAPEX]

I hadn’t heard about a tropical storm

[@natashareid843]

I'm not gonna lie I love watching a video where kamp kenan holds the camera feels like old times !!!

[@KampKenan]

👍🙏🤠

[@pinkysaurusrex8964]

Holy CRAP 😮 how CUTE was Lucifer's little back foot!? 🤗 got some great footage of him in this one, a lot of little details 😊💜🦖

[@KampKenan]

Right! So glad you enjoyed it:)

[@Boris82]

18:48 What a beautiful creature, just look at it.

[@danielled8665]

"Hello young lady, come with me..." ~I belieeeeve I can flyyyyy~

[@annmariewilso3016]

Good job, Kenan, the turtle farmer. You are a very patient man to work with them. Gives me an idea of what I may deal with if I ever get my dream tortoise the Aldabra. Thanks for all you do!

[@KampKenan]

:)

[@anthonykiefer387]

Lucifer looks like he is carved outta stone. So amazing. I live in Merritt Island. I just love all crocdillian species.

[@YochevedDesigns]

I fell in love with Louie the first day he came to the Kamp. Those huge eyes and derpy teeth really crack me up. He's such a cutie!

[@KampKenan]

:)

[@tinatruthseeker8217]

😢I’m so sorry to hear that, I love 💕 you and will miss you so much, in my eyes you will never die because your legacy will carry your name for many years to come. Love to his family and of course his wife and children sending you all my heart felt condolences 💐 xxx

[@stampinturtles]

You and those baby chicks remind me of me playing with my cats. I have a wand with feathers. Sometimes they ignore it and I shake it in front of their noses, heads, legs. Lol

[@sallyrutledge4726]

Wow..... The Croc Monitors are Beautiful and Amazing creatures but indeed difficult with only two hands ! Lulu was a good girl... so Lucifer gets the treat. I personally think that Lucifer is the most handsome reptile I have ever seen. A living copper creature with a turquoise patina and those huge eyes ! Hope your New Year is Joyous and Less wet ! 💚

[@KampKenan]

Perfect description Sally!

[@Original_Auburn]

Maybe you need to build a new hide for chase and diamond. He's got a LOT of tail to stuff into that little box. We know he CAN, but he may not like to. Maybe that is why he sleeps on top of it. Maybe a hide the width of the back of the cage.

[@maralehhansen1610]

Lol this is the first time I have seen turtle herding. I am glad they are going where it is warm and safe.

[@tmreptile]

I’m more of a quiet observer (I’m using cleaning tanks as I’m watching so I forget to comment 😂) but Kenans videos are the best! I’ve learned a ton and get inspired every video I watch! One day I’ll meet you Kenan and one day I’ll have a property half as cool as yours. Rock on brother 🫡💪🏻🔥

[@GreenspaceGeckos]

I do that too, baby geckos bins take time

[@tmreptile]

@@GreenspaceGeckos 💯💯

[@lorrainemunoa791]

I really do appreciate getting to see the work that goes into outdoor reptile husbandry and keeping a small "zoo" like yours in natural outdoor settings. The practical logistics of having to go out and look to the animals' preparation at short notice, no matter the weather, before storms and weather shifts is one of the bits of "rustic life" that aesthetic vision boards leave out, whether you have a farm of cute little goats or scaley buddies.

[@o.g.aurthermorgan3104]

I’m glad you actually are prepared it’s nice to see a KZbinr that actually cares for there animals

[@bigcally5567]

I'd never getting bored of having a garden like yours. Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@joemungus6063]

You’ll have to check out the tour video he released a couple days ago! He does over everything they’ve got there :)

[@californiacritic9779]

Kenan really needs to make a better hide for the Croc Monitors. It should be user-friendly for him to get them to go inside. That way, he doesn't have to go hands-on.

[@ThePollaton]

He also needs to not be afraid of his animals. I love how he is with slinky and inky, the black throats he’s certainly better with. I’m sorry to put a slightly negative comment but animals always know when we have the fear.

[@sdqsdq6274]

hmm what about two hides instead , question is what does a tree monitor like his hide to be , high or low , the other one seem to be on the ground , or maybe they dont like to hide at all ,just cling on the trees branch

[@Shaden0040]

Canon have you ever thought of building a slightly underground bunker for the Socadas? Something like a reinforced concrete bunker With a sandy bottom that they can dig around in but maybe you know make it like a good 5 feet deep That'll help keep them warm in the winter time so they don't have to just go into a shelter on the ground which God forbid if there's a hurricane can get blown over? something big enough that would allow them to feel comfortable. As well as keep them warm in the winter, with possible heating elements in there.

[@lawrenberghanson4401]

For the Galapagos, have you ever thought of using the tapping as morse code basically creating a specific rhythm to correlate to a specific task and communication?

[@dshobe720]

Love the flooding. It seems that for the croc monitors you need a hollow strangler fig concept. The warm room would stay open all the time maybe the size of a port-a-potty. Use a skylight or old double pane window on the roof/ceiling. This will give Chase the idea that he has an escape route. Use foam to construct the box and line with vertical sticks inside and out sandwiching the foam sheet between. Paint the foam black before sandwich procedure and seal corners with spray foam and timber tec big thread screws. Feed them in the box every time. Make your next hide box a double shelf with a front panel the whole length of the shelf and leave the ends open so he has an escape route. I think he feels too cornered in the current box. Put a heat mat in the hide box inside the portapotty and a second heat panel behind a slb of wood on the ground. Just some thoughts ❤

[@johnphillips5097]

The work never stops at the kamp, hopefully you get some better weather 🌦️ soon. 2023 was great can’t wait for 2024 it’s going to be amazing I think!. 👍💯🖖

[@KampKenan]

Yes it is. Thanks John!

[@annnoyez]

I love these giants... i would love to have such big tortoises in my garden... but unfortunately its too cold over here and to put an animal almost 6 months inside... nope... they need their freedom... or at least enough place to think they are free... but i am happy that i can watch them in your garden... ❤

[@KampKenan]

Thanks!

[@jasonmonkas8690]

What a fun life, wish this was my job.😍

[@jamesbarnard928]

Good loving turtle daddy. Happy Holidays from Omaha Nebraska

[@johngulley5396]

Looks like you're getting prepared. Good luck! In Colorado for Christmas...not to supposed to get snow...got over six inches last night! Yuck! Gimme sunshine, sand & the beach!

[@YochevedDesigns]

Move to Israel. We've had weather in the mid to high 70's all week long!

[@KampKenan]

:)

[@BrooklynHudson]

Mammal girl here. Rehaber. I was experiencing PTSD while you were coercing the Croc Monitors. I've reached an age where I no longer want to work with animals that I can't physically handle pretty easily. After several decades, I've earned the right not to fight. You're a good man, Kenan :)

[@TrimmedPage]

I had the worst Christmas ever, had to say goodbye to my dad on Christmas Eve for the final time. Thank you for posting consistently and helping me keep my mind off things. I really appreciate it Kenan.

[@Hello_Fuckers0]

My condolences, I lost my mom 10 years ago on Christmas day. My heart goes out to you and your family

[@lesarosenbaum3311]

So very sorry for your loss! I lost my dad 2 years ago on the 29th, and it's still super rough.😢

[@kathleenmcintoshclark8473]

I’m so sorry for your loss!! It’s never easy NOMATTER WHAT time of year it happens, the holidays are never the same. Lost my dad July ‘09 and it still hurts like yesterday. Sending hugs.

[@toddtrierweiler958]

Happy Belated Christmas 🎁 to you and your family 💕

[@terryedecelle4802]

You love your animals 💟

[@thebreezelife]

I couldn't imagine having to herd a giant tortoise 😂

[@mortenlgaard8462]

I love Lucifer his short snout makes him look so cute

[@tbella5186]

Hope you had a Merry Christmas! The Kamp looks so lively regardless of the weather!

[@loriw2661]

I remember when that front came through, I commented on an earlier video that I figured the alligator’s pond would fill up. 🐊❤️🐊 The Croc monitors are exquisite!

[@KampKenan]

:)

[@mckennaroberts5699]

I know you are building the new indoor/outdoor enclosure for the black throats, but something like that might be a good fit for the croc monitors. Chase might be more willing to go into a warm room than a warm box.

[@MisplacedPixie]

Nos: donk donk donk donk Darwin: dink dink dink dink 😂❤

[@julierobertson148]

Again, "Life is less demanding when there is understanding." Want to move a huge tortoise? Use the same method they use on each other. I LOVE these behavior videos.

[@maryann350]

My favorite day! A Kenan day!

[@annnoyez]

Yeap... for me the same... 😊

[@KampKenan]

Thanks!!

[@evelyn_r]

lol the female croc monitor having the sleepiest look ever and wondering why you woke her when she’s sun bathing lol

[@jessicahussey1255]

Fun video. Maybe two heat boxes would help. 😂

[@KampKenan]

👍🤠

[@downingkris7921]

Love Mr. Kenan!!! Hope you had a fabulous holiday!!!!

[@charlescampisijr.8065]

Reptiles and kaijū for the win! Lol. Growing up in the 80's watching Godzilla and/or Gamera goes hand in hand with loving reptiles. Is it the love of reptiles that makes us enjoy seeing monstrous versions tearing up towns? Or loving kaijū we see the similarities in reptiles and amphibians? Both? Maybe the answer is tacos lol

[@mohdzaudikhasni8829]

How about sulcata tortoise? All it's safe? What a great tips I learned today, if giants tortoise we can't pickup with hand, just tap² with sticks.. Hope all safe.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@marcosavila1204]

Your Reptiles are looking great

[@toddtrierweiler958]

Another name for the mata mata is Homer so in one part of camen creek you have Marge and the other part Homer #TheSimpsons

Lucifer doing his best statue imitation. Then there was food!

Hey Kenan hope you had a great Christmas?

[@KampKenan]

Yes I did!

Happy Holidays Kenan. Hope your Christmas was a merry one

Crazy weather everywhere this week. Christmas Eve it was 53 and raining in Northwestern WI.

[@lindsayclark6453]

Love it!👍

[@freshprinceofaquariums3028]

This is my first comment ever on KZbin bit I felt I had to out of respect to someone I admire truly.this was a sad day for a lot of folks

[@gasperkanoni8838]

We are in transition in weather patteren changing from elninio to laninia. All good my friend an mar🎉y and happy 🙏🏽🌈🐉💪🏽

[@stampinturtles]

Turt herder. Lol

[@ziggy4465]

Interesting that a tropical system came in so late in the year. Lots of animals to get inside for the evening. It’s amazing that as intelligent as they are, that they don’t just go to the heat all by themselves. I guess freedom wins out over survival.🤷🏻‍♂️

[@traceywatts4341]

Merry Christmas and a happy new year

[@jsbmx2039]

Such a cool nature show

[@readysetactioncommentaries]

I would’ve thought by now the croc monitors would have allowed you to touch them.

[@slitheryserpents]

💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜

[@KampKenan]

🤠

[@sjk160]

Maybe they need a visual barrier in the hide like Lola and guapo?

[@keironfrench5137]

Have you thought about making another hide box to see if they rather one each 😊

[@karaleeann1211]

If it’s going to be several days of cold do you ever put some hay in the tortoise house so you can sweep out the poop and not use the hose?

[@Shaden0040]

\ I can picture Louis some 75 million years ago As a dino sukus chowing down on a baby dinosaur.

[@mixtaperadio]

I'm assuming this video is from last week when the low pressure system was over the gulf? Merry belated Christmas ✌️

[@deutschermeister7673]

Could build two heated hides for when you have multiple monitors

[@belizeguy]

Hey Kenan! If it makes any difference to you, we are having the weirdest weather ever here in Mexico TOO!!

[@KampKenan]

Every year it seems to get more bizarre

[@belizeguy]

@@KampKenan Late January weather in Mid December. Cold enough that I brought in the Sulcatta! 86°F today WTF?

[@booksrdevinkevin]

Bro u gotta get a temple turtle on the pond ❤

[@Hannahpatriciadavis140]

Hi Kenan and merry Christmas

[@kirenjattan9885]

I got chased out of my tent camping ⛺️ by a massive Australian male goanna monitor lizard. He was close to two metres long,I think he was looking for food. Australian goannas are on the in dangered list now also. Which is soooo sad to see.

[@Polosatiy_Varan]

Most Australian goannas are Least Concern. Fortunately.

[@sdqsdq6274]

how that they are in endangered list , have you check their status properly ?

[@dinoxels]

30:11 why is that there lol

[@TheScottronica]

So you want to keep tortoises? Not all fun and games. LOL.

[@oddsendzwithso-busyllc864]

❤sweet vid. If u ever need help with a midwest rehome im in mo. Id love to help with cherry or reds. Rhino iguanas..... thx. Tiffany❤

[@benadams183]

I feel some bad juju every time you go in the croc monitor enclosures, the enclosures need a rethink on design as you said it your self your going backwards each time you force yourself on them and a 2nd escape door might be a handy feature for those holy shit moments, I would hate to see an incident.

[@YochevedDesigns]

It's a learning curve. I'm sure Tom Crutchfield could give him a few pointers.

[@toddtrierweiler958]

Do I sence the next Eminem coming through 😂😂😂

[@Lissyhead2]

You're a poet and don't know it!

[@YochevedDesigns]

But his feet show it, they're Longfellows!

[@Lissyhead2]

🤣😂@@YochevedDesigns

[@WeAreG.A.M.E]

How they get water and food in there? You got a system or do you have to open the door and be fast for some and crawl into others?

[@beth8095]

😂doesn't look easier 😂

[@thecatsmeow9972]

I always worry about the Kamp when you say it’s getting cold, I wish you had help to load everyone in , where’s Matt ?

[@DouglasKelly-oe7hg]

Kenannnnnnnnn!!! Have you watched monarch on apple TV the Godzilla show?

[@sinnysiva116]

Maybe the box’s too small for the both of them?

[@williamgoodman9861]

So you can't have two boxes in the cage at one time in different locations

[@yossi3008]

I'm new here ... and maybe I'm a little ignorant ... but why does Lucifer look a little strange?

[@KampKenan]

Welcome. He has those big beautiful mysterious eyes in our opinion🤠

[@howze4357]

Had no idea you’re a big Godzilla fan! I’ve loved Godzilla as long as I can remember. My office is filled with lots of Godzilla figures. I’d love to send you some pictures of them. How can I do that? Thanks and I love your videos!!

[@jdamelines]

Kenan, why don’t you just put thick plastic over the whole croc monitor enclosures? (I have seen this done in the Orlando area further north from you on someone’s personal collection of croc monitors)

[@annnoyez]

First of all, Merry Christmas... May I say that Lady Diamond doesn't look that good? She has so much loose skin... or do I imagine it? 🤔

[@KampKenan]

She's okay. Watch SUnday's episode and you'll see a big surprise from her!

[@Alejandro-zv1zq]

Why not just put the food in a bowl and lay it inside their box ??

[@YochevedDesigns]

Why don't you wear a leather jacket when you are handling the monitors? At least wear a heavy Carhart jacket. Bare arms are just begging for trouble.

[@Shaden0040]

I don't understand why you call Lucifer Louie when you could just call him Luke?

[@TheSavageJetdiRustySpooner]

Kennan....brother you should feed the Croc Monitors live chickens,,,& chicks ,don't record it . But you know how intelligent they truly are 💯,,,they're bored Fam, let them hunt ,you can see it in the eyes, suckling pigs too 🤙

[@brochquine]

Didn’t like you tapping the tortoises 😮

[@soradicalreticsandmonitors2390]

It so detrimental to the female croc monitors trust with humans. Maybe make a Huge heat hood with big lamps to keep them warm and no box Put tiles down just make a big box with a open front just an idea they would go under when cold
