Fred is looking down and smiling, seeing what you are doing. Thank you Kenan and your family.

[@chelseyfuqua7069]

I think having that area open for the Redford would be super cool, they’ll love it!! I can’t wait to see how Snaggletooth and Dale like their new enclosure!! And the caiman are going to be thrilled with their own ponds! It’s also so comforting to watch these videos knowing that Bobby and Inks are back home and safe

Well said! I feel the same exact way!💜

Well more space is always good. So the more natural it gets the better it is. I am not fan of holding gators because I don't think we can give them the same as nature does. But this enclosure here is big which is good.

[@chelseyfuqua7069]

@@TheMusicKing94 these gators cannot be released, so being in Kenna’s care is the closest they’re going to get. And he’s going to make sure they’re happy and safe, obviously

[@claytonryals9583]

Enclosed backyard would be a great experience where the tortoises following you like puppies if Kate not freaked out by them with full access just keep a eye out they don't eat your landscape down and there no toxic plants out there

[@RamoArt]

It sounds like a great idea until there's a storm coming and you need to collect all the tortoises to keep them safe..

[@bhutch216]

@@RamoArt did you not hear him say they would be put in the smaller enclosure before that.

[@chasityquebedeaux3326]

I was thinking the same about the plants. I know those monsteras are toxic to dogs and cats. I'm not sure about reptiles.

[@bosnakedisniksic]

@@RamoArt pretty sure he has more than enough experience in that department since he's been doing it like this for well over a decade

The gator enclosure looks awesome. I also think a bigger enclosure for the red foot tortoises sou do amazing.

[@jwilds3034]

Hey Kenan! I have been following you for quite some time, and as a zoologist/conservationist, I am so impressed by your set up! Your passion is obvious and inspires me!

[@paulmay4326]

[@thejerseyherper5320]

Love the idea of the redfoots being able to travel all around the rec pond, but it would be super cool if you had more!! Imagine like 50-100 of them

[@somethingcats]

My god the amount of work that'd be.

[@mediterralien]

He literally said "only the summer" That would be considered an Overpopulation.. 100 in their laying area is a lot.. also they're already packed in their night room.. not a good idea.. more tortoises.. more food and less weeds.. more poop on the pavement.. and not a very happy wife..

[@JenniferFinchum]

You must have given Fred comfort & happiness knowing that his Gators, Crocodile, & Caiman were going to end up at Kamp Kenan. Peace of mind like that is priceless to someone who loves & respects their animals.

[@ChrisTesch87]

I'm so thankful to Kenan for continuing Fred's legacy! And the enclosures are looking INSANE! It's so awesome that we can always come here to see Fred's gators and remember a legend like him. Kenan is a true friend to those he shares his life with.

[@pumpkinchow]

This is great I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long. Ever since the beginning way back when I subscribed you always talked about your dream of having gators and caimans. And it’s almost there 👏🏻 definitely stoked to see them swimming for the first time 🤯 it’s truly inspiring being able to follow your journey to making your dreams come to life. You and a couple others inspired me to film my monitors, pythons, boas, geckos, skinks, turtles, frogs and spiders. I enjoy making great friends all over the word that share the same passion he have for these amazing animals. Best part is learning and sharing years of knowledge from dedicated keepers in this wonderful community 🙋‍♂️✌️

[@janpack1569]

Swimming with the fish and turtles, snuggling with slinky, and now soon to be cocktailing on the patio with tortoises. What an awesome life 😁

[@michellen1125]

The whole backyard for the redfoots would be so good for them……..and fun for the kids. How is Kate with torts so close to the house?

[@sherkylady7765]

My morning isn’t complete without looking for a Kamp Kenan video. Things are looking great! You’re sense of esthetic for these enclosures is very artistic with functionality. Love it! Please keep the updates coming. Especially Inky and Bobbie. Excited to see Pinkie exploring her new place.

Great idea to enclose the yard and have the tortoises walking around exploring.

[@ChunkyManeTheFrenchie]

Don’t overwhelm yourself! The animals need you! Xoxo

[@Axqu7227]

It’s hard to pick a favorite turtle because all turtles and tortoises are very very cute, but I think the Fly Rivers win the “cutest turtle” competition. Something about that face is cute in an ugly way, and I love their flappy little hands! It’s always a joy seeing them at the Kamp

I remember back in 1989 Christmas Eve I had only been in Florida for a year and 5 months it was 12 degrees my neighbor turned on his water hose and set it over a branch in a tree over his bench swing and the two local newspapers came out because the ice cycle that developed was 6' 6" high and 5' wide it was amazing

[@Keeperoffyre]

great progress on the gator enclosure! and i think fencing in the yard and giving the Redfoots free reign in the summer is an awesome idea. imagine them sunbathing on the patio while you drink coffee!

[@aronoiiel]

I really love the idea of the redfoots having the run of the area. That fencing would be gorgeous and tie alot of it together as a zoo or dafari like setting! Clever ideas as always! Really enjoy watching your turtles! Good to see them getting back out in their homes 💚 Awesome job tonthe construction guys to cause that enclosire is off the hook!

[@rebeccacurtis9451]

I think the Redfoots will love it.

[@saga2964]

Things to consider for the redfoots: *Be assured they can't dig into a neighboring enclosure (like the gators!). *Be able to find each of them for their daily wellfare checks and consider how much more time would it take to do that. *Be assured the area they'll have access to is free of poisonous plants that may pop up.

[@mynineridesshotgun]

The redfoot idea sounds very cool for the warm months but sounds like a hide and seek nightmare when you need to gather them all up.
