LESS is MORE with REPTILES

[@Derek-jj5gx]

I just want to say thank you. Out of all the reptile breeders and youtubers etc. this is the first time I’ve seen the thumbnail picture of a crazy colored reptile and it was actually real not just a photoshopped picture to clickbait people. Those are some crazy colored iguanas!

[@Iamdinodude]

What a living legend I wish you can do even more videos with Tom Crutchfield than you already have because he is just full of knowledge and passion

[@TyyChambb]

Tom is the man. You can tell it's all about the passion for the animals with him

[@Zaku186]

I notice a lot of his animals are out basking or looking for food. that is a VERY good sign they are healthy and happy. you can tell this man goes above and beyond for his animals.

[@MplsMNant]

The Tom Crutchfield collaboration videos are always my favorites!

[@KampKenan]

Yes!

[@TheOscarFanatic]

The legend himself. The hobby wouldn’t be the same without him

[@cademancaden]

I love to see reptiles so well taken care of....too many people have reptiles in enclosures that are much too small & lacking in essentials. Great job Mr. Clutchfield.

[@alscritters156]

Agree, it is sad to see people treating animals more like "objects" than an actual pet which you provide 100% of your heart to.

[@HAIKU-c7z]

Not everyone can afford to keep animals like he does, mone would freeze to death outside

[@cade75]

Tony Grind if you can’t afford to keep an animal then you shouldn’t own it, same goes if someone can’t afford to raise a kid then it’s unfair and selfish of them to have a kid

[@AdventuresAlberta]

YES ! More Tom vids! PLZ!!!!! Could watch both of ya all day

[@718Insomniac]

Tom Crutchfield is a legend. His iguanas are amazing.

[@krlinkous3553]

Such a great video,I could listen to this man teach and explain about animals for hours. Kenan, you need to visit this fella more often.

[@susanmartin3762]

I didn't realize this was made in 2018. When you were talking about animals needing heat and walking them in boxes I was waiting for you to say something about what happened to Slinky. But then I looked at the date and what happened to Slinky hadn't happened yet. Thank God he's healthy again. Kanen and I was crying about an animal I've never met that was owned by a man I've never met. I have just fallen in love with that little water monitor of yours.

[@damitelephant7132]

Dude has such great enclosure for every animals and so much knowledge to share

[@Standishchildrenszoo]

You touched a little on this in the beginning. I tell people all the time that moving your animals to different enclosures without acclimating them before hand can cause stress enough to kill the animal. Also, switching the cage around drastically can also do this. This is a great video.

[@RyanReptile6]

Tom is a legend, so knowledgeable, I always learn so much when he is on the show.

[@ispectechular]

I downsized my collection to my 3 favorite herps, and I enjoy it them more than ever.

[@alscritters156]

I wish people understood this when they keep pets, especially some KZbin channels you see. Some people are keeping animals more like a "collection" rather than pets. Especially when people start keeping animals in small enclosures and not providing the best for their animals. Unless you are breeding, I don't see why, for example, reptiles should be kept in a small bin cage with just papertowl, one hide, and a water bowl. Even with rodents, some people don't keep their hamster in a proper cage size(similar to a 40 breeder). Instead you see people keeping hamsters in those plastic cages. Don't keep a pet unless you know you are able to give it all its need and not just the minimum amount of room for it to survive.

[@T.R.A.V.Y.N]

I somewhat agree. I don't understand collectors who treat their animals super well, but hidden and uncelebrated stacked upon stacks like a breeding operation. It's all sanitary and organized.. but its not exciting for the animals or for the home. I have a no stack policy for my animals. They are all incorporated throughout my house in highly visible and elegant enclosures we either built or repurposed out of antique furniture. My animals are always in the mix, and learn how to be social and explorative, especially since we are constantly updating and beautifying the environments. If you are a breeder, this isn't the method for you. But few of us need to be breeding or have any business doing it, and shouldn't be over collecting. quality over quantity indeed!

[@greatestever2740]

i watch all your videos. love kamp kenan

[@HuntsmanExotics]

That’s what years of experience will do. Makes you appreciate the more important things in life and not the quantity of things you have in it. It’s what the hobby needs - downsizing collections to grow their accommodations. Much better experience from both sides of the glass.

[@lucaspuckett3324]

I love reptiles These videos are like gold to me

[@clearwaterbeachhomesearchm5957]

I admire Tom so so much. Thanks for taking us to his breeding facility. Totally awesome

[@moonshinecamo9559]

Doesn't get any better than kenan and Tom ...I love tom crutchfield ...learned Alot from him

[@professionalcommenter]

Animals are hardwired and driven by instinct. I would imagine the time zone and season is imprinted in wild caught animals. So naturally they would lay around the same time of year as their original environment.

[@joshhibbs_nola]

In Louisiana we recently within the past 2 months had a freeze spell and the swamp froze over. You know what gators do to survive. They wait just before the water freezes over and they stick their snouts out of the water and then they let the swamp freeze over. They are stuck like that until the swamp unfreezes, but they live because they go into a state of dormancy and can live in freezing temps in the water. 👍🏼

[@fattonykauaihaun7577]

Do a video where u get the trichromatic glasses. It reverses color blindness

[@AXPorto]

The legend Tom! Nice to see him back, please do more, way more videos with him! If he likes to, ofcourse! And just let tom talk, you ask the questions (dont try to come up the answers yourself), let tom do the talking!

[@Fer-iy7mw]

Please do a video with Tom only on green iguanas and what he went through to breed those crimson iguanas. Everyone outside of Florida loves them.

[@KampKenan]

Great idea!

[@Fer-iy7mw]

It would be an awesome video. Those crimson albino iguanas are awesome pets and so difficult to find nowadays with the Florida ban.

[@professionalcommenter]

Also, Kenan please go get tested for EnChroma glasses for your colorblindness!!! It will change your world!!! Especially your sanctuary!!!

[@resin_Hd]

I could watch hr's and hr's of Toms "zoo." Awesome.

Tom has such a awesome collection.

[@MizzzKitty]

More! Those iguanas!🙃

[@mikesmith2718]

Tom is a legend and such and important part of the community

[@Ava_Orchid]

That is very close to what happens often with feral cats. If you try and take a feral out of its area and then unceremoniously dump them in another they often go off food or even die trying to make their way back to the area they were in before. That is their territory. If you absolutely must move a feral cat you have to keep it contained for usually a minimum of 6 weeks in the new site while providing care. Even then the failure rate is abysmal. It helps to bring scent marked items from the old area as well so they can smell themselves and feel as though it is familiar

[@cottoncandypikachu]

Reptiles are amazing. I love them more than any other species of pet. Thanks to your informational videos I have learned so much more for my babies. 🦎 🐢 🐍

[@Mrssmile2meis4u]

WOW SO MUCH INFORMATION!! Thank you for the free education!!

[@tomuchbrainwork]

I love Tom and his animals!

[@donnakatemorgan8963]

Great info Mr Crutchfield Has so much knowledge and you Kenan are also so knowledgeable. Two of you should write a book

[@beyondbecca5407]

Kenan, I was thinking about how barren your pathos vines at the house look! You can easily get WAY more by just trimming the vines and sticking the cuttings in water! They will root and you can plant new ones in with old ones to make beautiful bushy plants!

[@tilapiastew6784]

I really enjoy the different morphs. Tom said in another video that he wants the albinos to become more common than regular greens because they can't survive in the wild and I agree with him.

[@leapingweasel6457]

Our Pink-bellied side neck turtle plays/chases ping pong balls in his tank. He also loves to play with his aquatic temp gage because it floats. He pushes it down and then watches it float back up then pushes it around some more.

Awesome. Thank you for the videos! How to keep chickens and ducks and dogs with tortoises in the same general vicinity (ie 5 acres) would be a great episode.

[@Lance-ii6sg]

Hi kenan I’m still trying to get a hold of you. I want to know if you will take my bumble bee python I can no longer take care of her and give her the attention I used to do to the fact that I’m in college full time and won’t be in the USA for 2 years in 10months

[@benflavell500]

Tom is a cool guy that knos his stuff

[@Alamito24]

About turtle breeding, concerning the ones that are not reversing or changing their breeding habits: While I'm not a biologist, I do know a fair amount about plants. That being said, I'd suggest breeding has less to do with our seasons in the USA, though in a way it does: While ambient temperatures are doubtless a factor in breeding cycles, I'd suggest their cycles have a bit more to do with light. Being sensitive to not only quality of light but more significantly length of daily illumination might be crucial. During Spring and Fall the day length is fairly equal, may be influencing and perhaps triggering the reproductive cycle.

[@susanmartin3762]

I absolutely love the pink building with the aqua trim. It looks like paradise. If I ever come back as a reptile I want to live with Tom or at Kamp Kenan. They have the best homes for reptiles and turtles and other animals. I know it's safe to keep them all stacked up in drawers and bins and in large just Vision cages but to see those animals outside and in the natural world they've just got to be happier and healthier. That b**** about removing an animal from its area and placing it in another has a 100% mortality rate is astounding. If we keep taking their habitats we are going to be a planet with no animals. And a planet with no "animals" means that we won't be here either. Think about it!

[@ranox1581]

Can someone please tell me where I can find those stackable enclosures in the beginning of the video?

Smaller Alligators like kong toys you just have to ensure that you get one the appropriate strength for the size gator and check it to ensure it is intact. The ones that are like rounded pyramids with a hallow center you can put a treat in are a favorite

You should get those special glasses to treat colorblindness. And start to see the world in colors!!
