We MOVED the Black Throats EARLY + Super SAD NEWS

Many of us don't like surprises, but sometimes we have no choice in the matter. Today is one of those days! The black throat monitors need more sun and will have to move earlier than expected, even though their new Custon Cage has not arrived yet. Time to think fast and convert Inky's old home for them. We also have some sad and not totally surprising news about our struggling baby rhino iguana. There's always something happening here at the Kamp.

Thanks for the baby rhino update. You did everything you could. Sadly as you said you can’t save them all. RIP little baby.

Rest forever peacefully, Tiny. Sigh!

[@lorrainemunoa791]

So sorry about the baby iguana. You did give him the experience of being alive the sights and smells and sounds, the savor of tasty food, and sleeping contented while feeling safe and warm and fed. That's a beautiful if short life you gave him.

[@YochevedDesigns]

I'm so sorry about the baby rhino. When I do rescue on animals that are sick, I tend to not name them until I think they're well on the way to recovery. You always lose some, it goes with the territory. I find comfort in knowing that in an animal's last days it was warm, fed, and loved. Whether they live a few hours, a day, a week, I really do believe that even that small amount of time is a great kindness.

[@icred4467]

Very sad news about the little Rhino 😢

[@BC-kx5zb]

That plant you pulled out is called pinecone ginger. Its native to Southeast Asia and has been widely cultivated in warm and humid places around the world. The cone is actually a tight cluster of bracts from which the plant's teeny white flowers emerge. They can also be hung upside down and dried for arrangements. And if you squeeze the cone, it should produces a slime that some people use for cosmetic treatment.

[@kylegawron5358]

it's a pretty plant

[@sdqsdq6274]

yes a ginger family plant , amazing how low that subsrate is that it can grow so well , fertile

Oh, I had high hopes for the baby! These things happen. Before my husband died we lived on the family farm and loss is always hard. We had an exciting video to watch today but, it’s going to be worth it. You can really see them and they are so big and beautiful! Give Matt a big high for all of us who follow all your adventures.

Love ya Kenan I’m sorry about the loss

[@anataylor6862]

RIP baby rhino but I know I was just saying how much i missed seeing these black throats and im soooo happy we can see them more often right now! They're amazing and they're HUGEE!! I remember when you got these guys!! They're so much calmer than they were before! AMAZING

[@maryvallas772]

I'm sorry about the baby rhino, but at least you gave him a chance he wouldn't have otherwise had. 😢 Divo and Whip-it are getting so big! They look great in the new space! You should take some of those rhizomes and put them in Inky's new enclosure!

[@chasechristophermurraydola9314]

I am so sorry for your loss.

Thanks for the update! It’s still good that you gave the lizard a chance ❤️ and the monitors are going to love their new digs!

Too bad about little Houdini 💜 On a positive note, it's SO exciting how much confidence the black throats are gaining! The calm shot at the end was special. Do they have names? I don't know why my brain said Jack and Jill 😂💜🦖

[@DevinMcSalty]

The black throats are my favorite, can’t wait til they’re 6ft + and handleable like Slinks

[@DevinMcSalty]

Also maybe make a little rock cave in one of the corners out of those slabs you have since they’re rock monitors and not to mention they’re already accustomed to a cave. Just a thought👍

Just think, Kenan. Someday the black throats will be calm enough so you can peel off loose shed like you do with Slinky. LOL I could almost feel your fingers twitching when you mentioned the shedding.

[@StonedtotheBones13]

You've wondered what you're gonna do about animal care once you're older, and in between when Sophia's able, I can totally see you being a mentor like Fred. Able to do quite a bit more on your own, but also someone else makes it easier- and you're teaching them how to care for and appreciate these animals.

[@jebVlogs556]

I feel 😊Sophia would be able to take the rangs from Kenan one day: however, Leo is just as capable he's just a little shy 🤣

[@elizabethcirrotti7407]

I think Kenans still has quite a few years left. LOL

[@StonedtotheBones13]

@@elizabethcirrotti7407 @jebVlogs556 I mean, yeah. Like I said, plenty capable. But seeing Matt learn and grow in appreciation just brings to mind a Kenan with an awesome wise man beard talking about his tortoises and caiman and lizards, and ppl learning from him. The same way so many ppl learned from Fred.

[@YochevedDesigns]

I think Kenan's on the right track, planning his next enclosures with easier access and simpler maintenance.

[@dnico]

That plant is: 🌿🫚 Zingiber zerumbet is a species of plant in the ginger family with leafy stems growing to about 1.2 m (3.9 ft) tall. It originates from Asia, but can be found in many tropical countries. Common names include: awapuhi (from Hawaiian: ʻawapuhi spelled with an ʻokina, doublet of ʻawa), bitter ginger, shampoo ginger, lempoyang (from Malay) and pinecone ginger…. AWESOME interesting plant and yes easy to pull out and replant ✨ great job Kenan✨🌿🧙‍♂️🐉

[@jebVlogs556]

I believe and as Kenan said over 8 years ago on his first couple of videos: there's a lot of Invasive plants and animals living in Florida: from jaguars literally swimming from South America to Florida and back again, to rats, fire ants, giant basilisk lizards, Anoles and of course.. when birds fly over your property and drop seeds from their mouths or butts lol.. that's why you have Asian, India, African, south american even European plant flowering trees, bushes and shrubs growing invasively across the North American Continent

[@brentsmith7055]

Sorry about the baby. As someone who has hand fed a lot of reptiles and birds I had a reservation about your feeding him. No bad vibe towards you at all, but I felt you may have fed him too much for his first time eating. Again, no knock on you Kenan, I seriously doubt he would have made it no matter what. He was starved close to death in the egg. Thanks for the way you care for your animals, very few go as far as you do to give them as close to a natural habitat, and variety of food, that you do.

[@gmcenroe]

beautiful monitors, nice job on the new cage

[@Dolfin93]

Kenan I love your takes on animals and the space they need cause I’m exactly like that too!!

[@GatorMike79]

The black throats are looking fantastic! You're gonna make Jerry jealous LOL Great video. Sorry the baby rhino iguana didn't make it.

[@melwagonlife]

Hey did you give the red bulbs to Kate? After you chopped down that shampoo plant in inky old enclosure bitter ginger an other name for it but you can squeeze the jell out and use as shampoo

[@locabynature]

I've missed a few months of your videos at the Kamp. It's unreal to see how big and beautiful the black throats have gotten. did I hear you say they're for sale and I'm curious why or if that was a joke? *I can tell that yall put in some work socializing them because they're so much more chill now and you seem to have gained some trust with them in the process. 🖤💚

[@KampKenan]

they are coming along nicely...and are not for sale:)

@@KampKenan oh that's great to hear!!! I was looking forward to seeing them grow up and get big like Slinky...well maybe not that big but you know what I mean. 🤣 hope you have a good day.

[@rajanikumari3672]

Poor little baby iguana. RIP. Bit of a chuckle as you talked about not wanting to add too much weight by adding a lot of rock as you - a full grown man - climbed around in there. Truthfully, good thinking about the possibility of collapse from weight.

[@cayteowands]

Great video. I love these guys, they're getting quite tame

[@KampKenan]

Yes they are!

[@joshuahull9982]

I'm addicted to this channel now.

[@loriw2661]

You can use some Universal Rock rocks to put down on the ground in their enclosure. That’ll cut back on the weight and give them something to climb on. 🦎❤️🦎

Awww thats sad to hear I'm bummed to Matt. Was so hoping little guy would made it. Hay kenan why can't u stick some of inkys old cage plants in with her? Lol Matt he's been up on that cage more then once lol he like a spider monkey. And I think the rock monitors really like their new place. I remember when he had to Chase one of them around the property back when they were little cuz one except.

Wow they've grown so fast. Are they as fast as the Australian monitors Kennan? My mates trying to rehome his 2 year old Australian frilled neck lizard called tripod. Cause its missing a front leg. He found it as a baby half dead in a car park. A ferral cat had got it. In Queensland,Australia. He would give it to Kennan if he lived in Australia. This females tammed down now and thinks his a dog. It frills up walks around following his dog and sleeps with him. H

[@Raven_Claw-g9b]

That is sad the little guy didn’t make it, but I hope he made a meal for another one of your animals, contributing to the natural circle of life.

[@leekestner1554]

Watching you carry the monitors reminded me of a story in Hindi legend. A city was being besieged and to scale the walls each man had 2 Indian monitors and put a harness and leash on them. Then one of them was tossed up to cling onto the wall and act as an anchor for the man to climb up. When he drew even with the lizard the man would toss up the second monitor so that alternating monitors they scaled the wall. I would guess that this means they were socialized and tamed because who wants to be harnessed to a wild monitor?

[@lindsayclark6453]

I love the bubba blackthroats ❤

[@stevenshepard2381]

Plenty of room in there, but I would build a different hide box. One that won't roll around when they get digging around.

[@theMaDNesS201]

so i know you are worried about some weight, but you could use some of that flat slate you have in your pile to create hot spots for them like you did inky.

I'm bummed too. I thought that little guy was going to pull through. Now I'm wondering about the other small hatchling? Is he going to make it?

[@erickulakovich7303]

Tbh thst far right side of thst cage you could make a rock hide box that looks like a pile of rocks thats big enough to fit the rock monitors for awhile and so it can be heated and insulated and they have a perch.
