[@GregsTurtleHaven]

Foot rub is from when she gets a tight spot and works her feet against the limestone rock (normally would be in soft muck or sand bottom)getting settled, its exacerbated in the winter when they are trying to dig in a little extra

[@Rryan8065]

Thanks Greg

[@ggoannas]

Marge has such personality!!! Your enclosures are so beautiful.

[@Iris_Germany]

Marge is like a puppy dog 🥰 Please let us know what the doctor say.

[@AvengerII]

Marge's nickname could have been "Fast Tank." Wow... Prehistoric armored infantry!

[@chelseamorning608]

makes me chuckle everytime you say Paul Giamatamata

[@barbhelle5481]

It looks good. I hope Marge is well.

[@reptilelovercg8007]

Aww poor Margie but she's a strong girl. And Kenan she didn't even put up a fight. She know u would help her. That's so awesome. ppl don't think that turtles and tortoises. They really need to look at your videos.

[@pacificrider08]

Save Marge!

[@glennusher4160]

Turtles are cute

[@Mijme47]

Love to see Marge!

[@Daave12953]

Another great video

[@Annie-jp7yr]

Yeh it’s our marg that’s maxed my day she’s such a character

[@vector8310]

Caiman Creek is the jewel, and Marge has a personality the size of Kamp Kenan itself.

[@AvengerII]

@13:18 -- "Cylon Theme" plays around Lucifer and Marge, the tank.

[@loriw2661]

Looking great!!🐢🐊❤️

[@KampKenan]

Thank you!

[@donzbarker-cross4330]

Come and do my garden, its beyond wild!! Hope Marge is ok, keep us in the know dude.

[@carolyndavis8111]

Hope Margie is ok. She is great. Also, I loved when the turtle swam over Lucifer and he never moved. Thank you for showing us the right way to care for the ones you love.❤❤😂😂

[@iBeHampe]

It’s actually really great having Matt there! Sometimes I wonder if he annoys Kenan by talking so much during the videos, but a lot of time Matt tends to be the voice of the viewer, because he tends to ask a lot of questions that I am also wondering! It happens a lot actually where Kenan will be talking about something and I begin to wonder, and Matt asks the exact question I was thinking! And ofcourse I’m sure Kenan enjoys all the help Matt brings! He seems like a great friend!

[@AvengerII]

Matt is the "Bones" McCoy stand-in who tries to reason with crazy Captain "Kenan" Kirk. There is no Spock in this program... No one logical exists in herpetology, even when they DO try to wear the pointy ears!

[@ziggy4465]

Reusing clippings is always a plus. When I used to keep box turtles, I would rake up a good pile of leaves to one side of the enclosure. The painted turtles that were their neighbors overwintered at the bottom of the pond. Ironically, back in the 1980s there were lots of books to assist keepers in providing good habitat. The pond was cement though, but the turtles and fish did not mind. Always interesting to see how animals will adapt to changing conditions. In NY, as you know, we experience all four season with all the extremes they bring. Freezing winters and sweltering summers meant the animals would often seek out shelter, I tried to keep the enclosure as natural as possible, no mowing or weeding and that was a double bonus. It provided both shelter and food. We had this set up for about five years and then the state changed the status of box turtles, so they were released where caught. Ironically, that habitat has been destroyed and replaced by a housing development. I don’t know what they did with all the turtles, but there is a parcel designated as a conservation area. The area used to be a large sand pit with scrub forest encircling, had lots of different species living there. All that left to the scrub forest in the conservation area about 1/10 of what it once was. As much as Long Island still has open spaces, many of them are disappearing. I haven’t seen a wild box turtle in quite a few years and the also threatened Tiger Salamander I’ve never seen in the wild. Used to have box turtles and several species of snakes right in the neighborhood I grew up in, but most of that habitat has been replaced by housing. Kind of sad.

[@AvengerII]

@4:37 -- Chinese box turtles -- the first line of offense in establishing "Lizardopolis" aka "Slinky World." Chinese box turtles, the closest we'll get to real-life mutant ninja turtles!

[@sallyrutledge4726]

Good episode. We got to see the clippings of all your yard work become the insulating material for Chinese box turtles to burrow in . Paul Matamata looks like he has become a well adjusted member of the Caiman Creek ecosystem. I remember when Marge lived in the Lower part of the creek system and one of the Caiman picked her up and tossed her in a dispute over some chicken. That could be the way she got that little perforation... and why she climbed the fence to live with Lucifer. Please give us an update on Marge... she is indeed "Iconic " !

[@KampKenan]

Good reminder Sally. That could have been the cause

[@akky0408]

素晴らしい亀牧場ですね 🐢𓈒 𓂂𓏸💛💛💛

@15:57 -- I didn't know flounders came in armored varieties... Paul GiamataMata still wants his Oscar, Kenan.

[@JayRock312]

Hey brother been watching u for years now. Love you for loving this animals the way they are. I have 4 water turtles if u want them. Not special just to big for me now 😂

[@kayleybennett894]

Love these sort of videos don't know why but they're really relaxing to watch. Thankyou for taking the time to make them

[@ClintFrost-vb2hf]

I'm just saying, I wish I had an opportunity to be in Matt's shoes. It would be such an awesome experience.

[@brettsoutdoorexperience9422]

Kenan you should buy a shrub trimmer. Even a used one. It would make really quick work of the plants you trim. I have owned a landscape company for 7 years and trimmed these many times with them.

[@jameshamer481]

Great Robert Shaw impression!❤❤❤

[@annmariewilso3016]

I love all the hard work you do to keep it , so beautiful for you and your amazing reptiles. Marge always steals the show & is a star....lol ..the chinese box turtles are awesome. Caiman Creek is a very impressive place for the caiman to live and thrive. Thank you for all you do!

[@KampKenan]

Thank you so much!

[@marcosavila1204]

Marge is awesome and awesome Mexican Musk Turtle you got Mexican Musk Turtle was my first pet Reptile

[@nimitarora1625]

Loved the video 👌

[@cedarcreekcritters2229]

Hey Kenan! Long time fan of your channel and just being honest.. I miss the days when it was you with the camera. I do understand the struggle with one hand, but your videos were speaking to your audience vs feeling the need to nonstop address the camera guy who I’m sure is a nice guy… but the whole dynamic has just changed from when we first subscribed. It has lowered our watch time dramatically with your channel and just wanted you to have the feedback in the nicest way possible. Huge fans and happy for all you’ve accomplished over the years at your place. ❤

[@Sheislizz]

God save the Queen Marg 🙏🏻

[@iBeHampe]

Lucifer’s side of Caiman Creek is my favorite part of the Kamp, believe it or not.. because I have a lot of family who have moved down in FL, but I grew up and still live up in WI.. however I do from time to time imagine moving down there, and if I did I would absolutely set up some outdoor enclosures for reptiles! And Id absolute build myself a little pond to home my own Lucifer! I love that species of Caiman! So tiny! haha I love Marge, idk if I’d get my own Marge however, but the Mata Mata would be on my radar! I think I would also have a large group of Cherry Heads to roam free around the backyard! Where is differ from you is i’d have some chickens in the opposite corner of my property! I like my free eggs! haha

[@dazellis8057]

Dude havet even finished your last vic lol cant resist caimen creek though so will have to go back to the enclosure vid later

[@karaleeann1211]

Maybe you should cut back the cactus so it can grow back green and healthy, and good snacks for the tortoises. ❤🌵🌵❤

[@rudolfjacobs6452]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@melissamotcheck9705]

Every time I see Paul Giamatti now I think of your 🐢😂😂😂😂 Have you seen his new movie, The Holdovers, it's pretty good!✌💖

[@KampKenan]

Yes, really enjoyed that flick - Tom

[@nicholas87541]

Caiman Creek day, awesome!

[@AXPorto]

Advice change the papyrus plant, it grows like the pest with roots that can penetrate tubes and liner. There are many varieties papyrus which grow much slower. This will cut your pruning times in threefold. If you don’t get the roots of this papyrus out soon enough, it will be a nightmare to do so. It’s broading out and keeps expanding exponentially

[@thecatsmeow9972]

About time , missed Marge updates ❤

[@aceofaces411]

Marge is your version of that turtle on garden state’s tortoise

[@blip-2024]

Otis! I adore them both.

[@jebVlogs556]

@@blip-2024 woop woop love Otis, reminds me of the giant turtle gozilla faced off against..

[@IrishTechGirl]

Wow!! That's a lot of work. Looks great. Love that Marge, keep us updated. We live that little lunatic 😂❤

[@graffic13]

Sort of wish Kenan would take out the invasive papyrus and plant some different plants ... maybe some natives.... Kenan needs a Fla. Box turtle colony!

[@Butterfliiiege]

Maaaaaaargie ❤

[@tnazealot2143]

Why didn’t you touch the little 🐊 Smooth-Front Crickey? He’s chill as a dragon statue 😂

[@michaelhband]

👍👍👍❤❤❤🐢🐢🐢

[@debzacher1332]

The kamp looks great Kenan! What happened to the sign of the caiman creek donators? I like seeing that I was a part of helping out and I don’t see the plaque anymore.

[@sallyrutledge4726]

For a while it was on the fence, then sitting on the ground, and then it was gone. My name was on it and it was a joy to see it. But Kenan probably got complaints and thought it would be best to take it down. I am a little sad, but I understand !

[@thecatsmeow9972]

She’s getting big! I hope they aren’t bitting on her

[@slitheryserpents]

💜💚💚💚💜

[@S2LStudio]

Fair well and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies, fair well and adieu you ladies of Spain

[@stevenshepard2381]

Snappers don't like rocky, gravely bottoms. She probably has that raw sore from trying to burrow into the bottom.

[@designprosb]

🎉Magnificent work Kenan 🤠

[@richardoconnor7162]

It seems you cannot feed the papyrus to the tortoises, but could you put it through a yard shredder and then use it as mulch?

[@user-lx9hg5wp3x]

Just recently found you and started binge watching all your videos to catch up! I'm disable so don't get out much. And at 63 on limited income it's hard to do much period. I worked with a exotic vet 20 years,did rescue 47 years before I got sick. Never seen this question ask but if anyone answer it I know it would be you.....cause if you dont know,you will find out !,.....on the alligator snapping turtle we all know it's legendary bite.Ive handled smaller ones here in Texas but no big ones. Is it like a gators where extreme pressure is in the bite,but easy to hold a mouth shut ? Does that seem to go with most herpetofauna? Loving your videos ! And all the animals ! I can't physically do animal work anymore (bad lungs,knees,hips and ptsd from childhood trauma)still have a service dog,four cats,a dove and finches. Least amount of pets I've ever had ! Live kinda in country so see lots of wildlife out my windows. Hope to buy some merch soon. Keep up the great work you do ! Sharon "Chris" Baker. When I just put Chris people think I'm a guy,,,,lol,,,but it's short for Christine. And it's what I go by.❤

[@Krazie_Jackie]

Hey how’s that neonate iguana doing? The one you and Matt saved from the molded yolk …

[@ggoannas]

Please get Marge to the doctor’s fast. Once reptiles look slightly off it usually is too late.

[@joelfriedman8422]

What happened to all the Rhinoclemmys that were at Fred’s place?

[@aprilfurcean8302]

Were those eggs in the Mexican musk turtle?

[@TheSavageJCE]

[@victoriasimmons9469]

What happened to the dog, Lobo from a while ago? I haven't seen Lobo. Is he okey?

[@lucas.2.3.9.4]

Hes been rehomed for months

[@emmasmart6112]

My tortoise comes running when he sees me. However he wants to bite me when he gets me

[@northernplantucky]

Is it just me, or does Kenan look a little bit like Tom Hanks when he shaves?

[@salinaraymer7055]

Marj isn't 🐢 she's human 😂😂😂😂

[@NinaBug36]

Is it me or does Kenan say “dialed in” a lot?

[@beth8095]

Nice to see the animals, however because you are saying they are hungry and then you have no food for them?? So I guess the cayman will have to eat every or anything that will help feed them?! You said they are happy? Would you be happy and hungry?? Sorry I have no idea why they're getting to the point where they are hurting the other animals 😢

[@8lynx817]

Ngl, I think that extra dude is quite annoying. Dumb questions all the time and generally...

[@johnphillips5097]

Everyone needs a nice warm bed especially tortoise, padawan Marge what’s lucky you picked her up master Kenan, the layers of the trees and different greens really is amazing to see. 👍🏼💯🖖🏼

[@KampKenan]

Yes, Thanks John!
