Saying GOODBYE to all my reptiles!

I'm going away for 2 weeks to build the ultimate reptile rescue vehicle, but it means I will have to say goodby to all of my radiated, galapagos, red foot, elongated and sulcata tortoises plus all of the snakes, lizards and iguanas. This is a very stressfull and hard thing to do with a sanctuary of this size! Subscribe to kamp kenan: goo.gl/BecCMM

I love how every turtle/tortoise runs up to Kenan when he goes to their enclosures

[@return_to_monke3747]

That old sulcata female is precious. Least she’s got a nice chilled out place with lumpy in her final days.

[@Trick-Framed]

The sound of the water falling over the rocks, the movement, the lighting, it's so very beautiful and comforting. That front pond set is just incredible.

[@sarina76667]

Same. I have to bring stuffed animals with me to hotels and place them around the bed where my babies would normally curl up with me or I can’t sleep. And I have my roommate send me pictures so I know everything is okay. I sleep on the couch at home in the living room where I keep all the pet stuff. Beds, litter boxes, food and water areas are all set up in “pet central”. I do that so I can have prolonged quiet time to listen to everyone breathe at the specific times when any congestion is going to be the most prevalent. My roommate can’t do that so I always worry.

Hi kenan Have a safe trip with your family. Take lots of pictures on your trip, and share them. It's so cute how all of the turtles get so excited to see you, and run up to you. I have never seen your camp. I enjoyed the tour, while you were checking on everyone. You can tell that your animals love you, and the excellent care that you give them all. Those turtles really love the cactus, and mangos. You can always call to check up on your animals. It sounds like you have back up plan. Enjoy your trip. Cindy

[@love.wildly.live.fearlessly]

Ok the little creep of tortoises all coming to his feet is gotta be the cutest thing I’ve seen in a long time, well besides slinky always going up and climbing up Kenan you can see the love just flowing out of all his animals. Yes I did look up what a group of tortoises is called and it is a creep and a group of turtles is called a bale. Knowledge for me is everything, I just love learning random facts that have no reason being in my head (specially because I have never had any type of reptile I had fish once but that’s it and they are nothing like what Kenan has.)

[@blake6926]

I absolutely have missed my animals when I had to leave them. I was a truck driver and sometimes only gone overnight. We did a small unofficial rescue and at one time I had a greyhound and an American doberman, they would pin me to the couch whenever I got home and laid down for a minute, LoL. Loved 'em all!

That's awesome you're coming to Idaho, I live in Boise. You'll love it here it's a really beautiful state. If you want to see some legit mountains go check out the Sawtooths by Stanley. Yellowstone is an amazing place. I suggest you check out West Yellowstone on your way to Yellowstone Park, it's a really cool little mountain town. You should go down and see the Teton Mountains also they're south of Yellowstone. Anyway, have fun and be safe.

[@Pureimagination200]

My mom found a tortoise in our neighborhood and it was very old, maybe over 50 years old we think back in the early 80’s living in our backyard in Hollywood, ca. In a tiny yard eating vegetables and fruit scraps that’s it. And she would come to me when I was sunbathing and sit next to me and when she was hungry she would go to the backdoor and wait for food. My dad or mom who were elderly would feed her. She was the best and friendliest tortoise. I loved her. Now my mom would hibernate her in the winter (in Los Angeles which is not cold at all but she would still do this every winter) with a big box and old blankets and this went on for over 30 years until my parents died. Then my sister took the tortoise to her house and she has wrecked havoc to her foundation digging. She’s still living and going strong. Eating only scraps and is probably over 60-70 years old in Los Angeles
