I'm Leaving for TEXAS!

[@tbella5186]

As a gardener and a animal keeper I understand how hard it is to leave. So glad Sophia is mature enough to care for the animals now!

[@Raven06025]

So good to see Sophia, she’s grown so much. Looks just like her Mom ❤

[@shanafredlake312]

Sophia is growing up so fast! Glad she is learning your passion for reptiles and is a huge help in there care❤

[@janetwhitten3945]

Sophia is growing into a lovely young lady. It’s nice that she cares for the animals. Enjoy your trip, looking forward to the videos

[@tabascomuricano1106]

Food motivated reptiles are just so cute to me for some reason. Marge is an adorable pest. Wouldn't expect a common snapper to be like that.

[@pinkysaurusrex8964]

Kenan getting ready for trip: "I can't wait to come home" 😂😂 It's so great that you can count on soph to get things done 🙌💜🦖

[@KampKenan]

True!

[@Explosivehero]

sofia at 54:05 waving in the back. So amazing to see. I'm so happy for you that you have a daughter that takes care off your animals while your out and about. Much love from the Netherlands.

[@TigerMa75]

Looking forward to see all the plants and landscaping you do - sounds fantastic. Good job Sophia and family - it’s a relief when you have a strong support network for animals.

[@karenthomas2302]

Soph is really growing up fast, and looking so much like her momma, safe travels. Tfs ❤😊

[@nuc13ar]

everytime i see these videos im reminded just how beside yourself you are when it comes to these animals im sure they appreciate the love even if some cant comprehend it

[@sallyrutledge4726]

We know that Sophia will do a great job with the herbivores while you're gone . But I understand how caring people are all OCD when it comes to those who depend upon us. Once all the prep is done, have a wonderful trip ... Looking forward to seeing videos of your adventures !

[@KampKenan]

We got some great stuff in Texas

[@mildredpadilla5734]

Never gets old 😮I love to watch slinky run for food 🍱. I just love him ❤❤❤ so much. ❤❤❤

[@jimmystockton6404]

Be safe in your travels man can't wait to see what kinda great content you come back with

[@KampKenan]

I appreciate it! Thanks Jimmy!

[@LittlefattieTheTortoise]

Hi, kenan! Big question here! Been watching you since 2018 I think! You're the reason why I got into reptiles! Especially tortoises! I did research for 5 years before I got one. I got littlefattie the leopard Tortoise in March of 2023! Its been a amazing year together. Shes doing amazing! Shes about 2.5 years old. I was wondering how do i get her to eat dry pellets instead of soaked pellets? I prefer her to eat them dry to help trim her beak. I feed her on slate. Of course flukers and muazri are the pellets. I grow cactus pads and mulberry tree / bushes too! Thanks for introducing me to Tortoises! You have been my tortoise professor for 5 years and counting!😊

[@MikeSwinehart]

I just love slinky’s table side etiquette !!!

[@untsmurf]

Have you thought about installing small camera mounts in the corners of some of the enclosures? That way you can walk in set the camera on the mount and film while you work with both hands?

[@KampKenan]

yes. its a solid idea!

[@Nick-Lab]

Marge is the best snapper I have ever seen. So smart and charming.

[@nuc13ar]

these videos and animals will be seen by generations that havent been born yet its kind of amazing seeing the little ecosystem youve built over the years i cant imagine how people of the future will see your jungle

[@The_Crucible714]

Hopefully they won’t be only images of extinct species.

[@natking1u1z99]

You have definitely stepped up your enclosure game over the years. I remember when slinky’s cages were just large enough to house him but still suitable for him to live in.

[@txangel922]

Gosh Sophia has grown. She has blossomed into a amazing young lady.

[@bluedeva]

Hope you have plenty of fun on your travels and I’m sure kate Sofia and leo will keep an eye on the Kamp and keep the whole family taken care of. Thank you Kate, Sophia, Leo and of course Jerry 🤗🐢

[@KampKenan]

Thank you! Will do! I've got the best friends and family

[@reptilemetaljen]

Sophia is awesome! Glad she’ll watch the animals. Welcome to Texas! 🎸🐍🐢🦎

[@xturtlex84]

Dude, you don't need to go anywhere to have an adventure. Your place is an adventure 😁 Argie (spelling?) is looking amazing. He is getting so big. Love all of it.

[@KampKenan]

Thanks so mch for the kind words! 😃

[@YochevedDesigns]

Dale was looking at you like the rat was an appetizer, and you were the main course. 😲

[@hooktraining3966]

I trust Sophia to care for your animals more than I trust my mother to water my plants when I'm gone.

[@ThatZackAttackery]

You're a real bastard you know that

[@marcosavila1204]

You take great care of your Reptiles Kenan

[@colinfowkes7590]

Careful Kenan , first Sophia will take over feeding and the next thing you know Kamp Sophia will be 3 times the size of Kamp Kenan!! 😊

[@Whips_World]

That's what Jason and Joanna do over at Prime Time Aquatics. His sons are actual employees and do the lion's share of the maintenance for the 40+ aquariums (used to be over 80). If Sophia wants to make money and you need the help, that's an idea.

[@porshawhitmore6152]

Slinky's enclosure is DA Bomb!!! Sooo NICE

[@lordofalltime]

it feels like just last week that you were away in Costa Rica, everyone seems to be waiting for their Waiter to bring them the food today. It was also nice to see Sophia, I don't think that she's been up close to the camera since the incident with Lobo.

[@nikobiege7015]

I hate leaving my house too and I travel for work. With a bunch of animals, there is always so much to do. Luckily, I have family that helps me look after everything, too. Thank god!

[@KampKenan]

👍🤠

[@K_Denver]

I'm glad you're going to visit Uncle Ben 😊

[@nicolesargent8468]

I love your setup. In your backyard. And front. You know what's in my backyard cornfield.

[@62873milehi420]

Loved the long vid today . I feel for you sir . I don't like leaving my home or my tiny group of animals . Nobody knows but us , right ? Sophia has it relax and enjoy your adventures!!

[@loriw2661]

Gorgeous Slinky!! The Croc Monitors are exquisite. Hope you had fun in Texas!!

[@KampKenan]

I did! Texas was great

[@mildredpadilla5734]

Dale and Marge ❤❤❤❤ those girls ❤❤❤❤

[@sersarsor]

marge is the cutest turtle I've ever seen!

[@irishnative9163]

I love slinky he's a beast

[@paperdoll1982]

I’m a fan of the Urban Rescue Ranch. REALLY looking forward to seeing that collab! Safe travels.

[@piteusx8440]

Uncle Ben is a nut … but also does a great job rescuing animals. He’s does a lot of good.

[@kimberlyhendricks1229]

Sophia is getting so tall and beautiful. Hope you have a safe trip.

[@ct1o1]

You gotta try and visit the Urban Rescue Ranch while you're in Texas!

[@KampKenan]

We did!!!!

[@ct1o1]

@@KampKenan what! Is there a video in the works? Hope it was fun!

[@MamaJ1997]

It would be cool if you could include Sophia feeding and interacting with the animals once in a while. She probably feels like Kenan- it’s not work if you live what you’re doing. Have a great week everyone❤

[@cynthialbell9023]

Hi Kenan I hope that you had a nice trip to Texas. Look forward to seeing the video of your trip. Sophia is so grown up now. It is so nice that she will feed all of the animals for you. And if she needs any help. Your buddy Jerry is close by. ❤All of your reptiles. Cindy

[@cm-oo1td]

I wonder what made him build that rhino iguana enclosure so low, surely it would have been just as easy to build it high enough so he didn't have to crouch down in it

[@aceofaces411]

Slinky eats like a Komodo dragon, he downs his food fast.

[@jacksonmd62]

Diamond has become a lot more bold as of late

[@richardveenstra7638]

Hy kenan its Richard 🤪✌️🐢 yust let you no y love marge always there where the camera is awseme grts from Richard 🤪✌️🐢

[@treypyle4565]

So glad you're going to Reptilandia in Johnson City, TX! My girlfriend and I are deeply passionate about reptiles and keeping them properly, and Quetzal does it right! We got to meet him and talked for quite a while. Highly recommend checking it out to everyone here!

[@juliepeterson6880]

Defiantly pay Sophia for being your pet sitter. She is such an amazing young lady.

[@keldaMouse]

I would so much rather Drive too, you get to do an adventure. Have a great trip!

[@trishawaddell564]

I know the worry of leaving your animals. I only have 22 but we will be going away for 10 days at the end of April and have to rely on a stranger to care for our pets. We will be an 18 hr drive away as well so it will not be an easy or quick drive home if something goes wrong! You are lucky to have Sophia! I pet sit on and off for 30 years starting when I was a kid. I’m sure she will do a great job!

[@pasplatt116]

Marge is my spirit animal. I love Marge.

[@comedianmattrossey]

Wow Sophia has gotten tall, and her voice is sounding so grown up. Sophia is really starting to look like Kate.

[@IrishTechGirl]

Hope you had a great trip. I love a feeding video and seeing all the animals. 😊❤ Will you be attending Turtlefest at Iguanaland?

[@stefanostokatlidis4861]

I hear a lot of corvids over the yard, but there were hawks before. This is bad news, as they may eat turtle hatchlings. Also please try to make some herping in Texas.

[@tilde4350]

Marge is just amazing🥰

[@mikeyreps]

Love the intro music! Hope you enjoyed your trip to Texas

[@BigggRoss]

The kids could make labels for all your food bins ;)

[@heatherlandskron]

Great video!! Safe travels 🙏. Love your videos and channel.!! Have a good day and week. Hope all is well.

[@lindsayclark6453]

Well done Soph ❤

[@nimitarora1625]

Kenan & Ben from Urban Rescue Ranch... Looking forward to it sir 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Mrexotics19]

Yo Keenan u should make a video going out and cast netting Mayan chicled for slinky pond they would look real pretty in there and it would be free food and they could breed 😎

[@jessicaann2070]

Marge is so cute ❤

[@gizmo8453]

The way she came stomping to Kenan lmao

[@Trindal]

With such a huge property and all those large enclosures, do you have staff or volunteers come in and help keep everything clean and make repairs, etc.. especially when your on large trips out of town?

[@danielvelas]

Welcome to Texas, you will love it brother

[@talltraveler82]

Well, I don't think I saw while you in Texas, assuming your home already. Hope you had a rad time with your friends and dope animals though!

[@GatorMike79]

Great video! I think Sophie's going to do an excellent job

[@-cMc-]

I for one is excited you are leaving for Texas !!😁

[@porshawhitmore6152]

"Their maniacs"🤣🤣..Safe travels Mr. Kenan!!!

[@cararogers8487]

Just a FYI..The camera seems very shaky and the fast movement is dizzying when you are videoing yourself. Is it possible that you are using the new camera? Maybe go back to old camera when videoing yourself. I really enjoy your videos, just wanted you to know if you didn't already know about the new camera. Seems fine when Matt is holding the camera.

[@digestiveleaf]

Sophia is the MVP i think i know who gets all of kenens animals once he retires 😂❤

[@AvengerII]

@9:39 -- While Slinky will NEVER match the speed of pre-pregnant Pinky, he can move faster than a tortoise when food-motivated! He really is Kenan's dog at this point...

[@mickeyh1995]

You should write the name on the food tins so it will be easier to know everything is

[@andrewwhite2406]

Another great video. Keep up the good work Kenan!!

[@ReachwaterMinitures]

hey go get a bunch of leaf litter and i mean as much as you can possibly get to cover the camin cage for the female so she has nest medium just in case she has eggs

[@Shaden0040]

I don't know how expensive it would be to put in pea gravel Or tile or natural pieces of slate As a pathway I personally love the slate I think it's prehistoric looking and if you can get really good slate from like Germany you might see little tiny fossils in them. oh cannon a recent study about velociraptors the little guys not the ones from Jurassic Park but the actual little gloss of rivers they can fly probably not well but they can definitely glide and they can do wing beats to gain a little bit of altitude from tree to tree how's that for an interesting piece of tidbit fact? velociraptors and feathers and could fly I think they have so amazing if you ever watched Clint's reptiles he just did a video on it last week or couple of days ago so look for it it's really interesting read or listen to you mentioned in today's video too that that he did a video on it because I guess a lot of people missed it. so those little velociraptors you could stand a dinosaurs they are dinosaurs but they're also birds if they could lie I think that's so cool the loss of represent you'd like always thought that any of the raptorial dinosaurs with the big hook on their foot reminded me of lumberjacks You know the ones with the spikes on their boots that they climb up the tree and cut off the top of the tree and then they go their way down cutting off the limbs They can cut the trunk down and one piece I bet you that's what they use the giant claw for on the velociraptors and the other Raptors to climb the trees that get pounced down on prey what better way to ambush something than from above where they're not going to be looking for it. I think it makes a lot of sense that they would use those claws to climb trees or mossy banks or whatever they could get ahold of they could sync those claws into the help them get above their prey. Do you think that makes any sense?

[@Hchechak]

Love the attention to detail and care for the animals. What bird is that in the background? Is that a crow ... it's a mouthy bugger

[@Hchechak]

My favorite of birds BTW lol

Something wrong with the camera? Was shaking all over the place, no stabilisation

[@Shaden0040]

He can in a native merch but I was wondering if you have any plushies like a slinky pot plushy or a marge plushy? If not you should see about getting some done and letting letting people know that you might be doing them and you want to know what the market might be see see if there's an interest for those? who would want a life size plushy of slinky?

Canon will the galops and the al-dabas Eight 2 be approaches if given the chance? and if so do you ever give them to them It's like a special treat?
