What about a butterfly puddleing area and some. Small ponds for birds and amphibians

[@joshuahull9982]

The reptile community is such an awesome community that helps each other out and I'm proud to be part of the reptile community. I'm not well known or anything though. I mostly keep small native reptiles.

[@The_Crucible714]

@@graffic13​​⁠ Can Buddlea Davidii (Butterfly bush) and any of the cultivated milkweed (esp orange) or wild purple grow in Fla? I also sense an aviary and some birds coming soon. Is Jupiter Farms zoned for commercial use…? 🤔 _Never hurts to support the local PBA (or have family in the org.)_

It's safe to say, Slinky is one of the most spoiled lizards out there 😂💜🦖

Well deserved though :)

I love the joy in Tom’s eyes when he talks about the plants he brought. One can only hope to have the passion and enthusiasm of these two men when being in their preferred environment !

[@KampKenan]

You nailed it Amber. Passion and Enthusiasm...keys to life!

[@jubileebay]

During the time lapse, Slinky was very busy watching what was being unloaded in front of his enclosure. Great improvement for the enclosure and great collaboration with Tom!

[@lawrenberghanson4401]

Slinky was the supervisor, making sure everything was done to his exact specifications. 😂

[@bluedeva]

Thank you so much Tom, for bringing a lil bit of extra sparkle to the Kamp. It always amazing how much the back area of the Kamp has changed over the years 🤗🤗

[@KampKenan]

Its become amazing. Love it so much🤠

[@bluedeva]

@@KampKenan it looks amazing 👌🏻🤗🐢🤗

[@TH-channel]

It's beginning to look amazing!!! What you could do is to add old tree stumps or logs into your planted borders. This way you can mimic fallen trees in a forrrest and let them rot in your border. This way you create a more natural scenery to your garden. Also the old trees will make a perfect growing space for mosses and ferns to grow on. It will even make a nice home for some insects!

[@pats7276]

Tom's place is unbelievable! You've got a great start to your yard. I'm with Kate...keep adding color now!

[@Fizzybuzz]

I love Tom's channel. So happy to see him at the Kamp! Need to get him up to Jerry's next!

this guy is living the life! love seeing how much care and thought goes into his care for the animals and land

[@timothydean9407]

Tom Holt is the man! Love his channel! Caesar is awesome as well!

[@KampKenan]

Tom is amazing!

[@The_Crucible714]

I’m sure Tom could give his opinion regarding the method Blake uses to keep his turtles away from the waterlilies. It’d be great seeing both ponds meeting their full potential. Native plants like pickerel weed, bull rush, water hyacinth, cattails and native waterlilies can be collected and used to naturalize the big pond. A couple clear acrylic kayaks or rowboats people could rent would be an attraction and basking logs are a great idea to view the turtles. 🤯🧠

[@txangel922]

Thank you Tom and Ceasar for helping the Kamp. The plants look amazing.

[@sandywalter9728]

I have subscribed to Tom since your video with him. He and Caesar are the bees knees! It looks fab Kenan!!!❤❤❤❤❤

Great to have friends like Tom, what a gracious guy. This is awesom, and watching how Kamp Kenan continues to get better and better. Thank you Kenan and Tom and friends for sharing the journey.🦎🐢❤️👍

[@loriw2661]

When you introduced us to Tom, I immediately subscribed and I’m glad I did. His place is incredible! Slinky’s enclosure is going to look even more amazing now and he deserves it!! Great video, Kenan!!🦎❤️🦎

[@KampKenan]

Thanks for the sub!

[@dangerousbeans8067]

Same I am enjoying watching him transform his place too 🔥🔥🔥

[@danadouin1042]

The plants add so much! In the future you might keep in mind that you mentioned curving paths. You can also mound the soil here and there for more interest and maybe add a dry riverbed with all of those great rocks. Keep up the good work, I never miss an episode. Slinky is SO cool! Glad you will have a little help growing up quickly! Take care, Dana

[@loriw2661]

@@danadouin1042 I love the suggestion of mounding the dirt for a more hilly landscape.

[@The_Crucible714]

Brilliant! Kamp Kenan will be the newest South Florida tourist destination. Then Matt can be rehired to give tours and perhaps on weekends somebody (Chandler?) can milk snakes like Bill Haast did at the Serpentarium!

[@cherylhuot4436]

Another gardening saying about perennials, at least up here in the Great North, is …The first year they Sleep, the second year they Creep, the third year they Leap!! It’s absolutely true too! Watching your channel, I’ve learned that In Florida, it seems new plantings just Leap! What a wonderful transformation! WAIT! You wanted to break up hard edges/lines, but then you put straight RR ties in??? Kennan! Think about it!

[@KampKenan]

Good point Cheryl!- Tom

[@The_Crucible714]

All rocks would look more cohesive, the RR ties defeat the purpose.

[@BrooklynHudson]

WOW, Kenan. An incredible amount of work, but you did an amazing job. Beautiful!!

Wow, Kenan! Looking awesome and thanks for Tom's link. I subbed his channel. Looks absolutely amazing some of the stuff I glanced at... Loved every second of this video. Great to see Jerry and Kagan there too. I got to meet them not long ago to deliver a couple of large Koi for their pond. They're a couple of good souls and you being friends, I can only imagine your family is the same.

[@kellybraun7048]

12:41 Longwood Gardens! Aren’t they in the greenhouse? So the humidity would be more controlled. Or are they in a general room that tends to have higher humidity? I remember seeing them there, but I couldn’t point to them on the map. 😂

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

His lordship, Sir Slinky, shalt have a castle fit for a king. In all seriousness the two of you created a beautiful enclosure. The colors are stunning. I love Longwood gardens…the orchid house in particular. Congratulations to all involved!

[@KampKenan]

🙏🤠

[@The_Crucible714]

Longwood Gardens in south PA is an amazing place, especially this time of year. Naturalizing orchids and other epiphytes (bromeliads, tillandsea, etc) in So Fla is easy. My brother has a purple & red Vanda orchid I gave him 25+ years ago growing on a tree in an aviary. Now it’s 8’ long & almost always in bloom. Low growing, Mini-Cattleya is a terrestrial orchid very popular as a border/bedding plant in Fla, I’m sure Tom has experience with them & orchids in general.

Welcome to the jungle!!! It's going to be absolutely beautiful!!!!

[@Nick-82]

Idk if it would cause issues with the structure but have you ever thought of some sort of creeping vines/plants to put on top? Like having them dangling down inside the enclosure and walking through that real jungle feeling would be sweet.

[@The_Crucible714]

I was going to suggest a few tropical flowering vines like Bougainvillea, Passiflora species & Thunbergia (Blue Bengal Clock Vine) to conceal the edges. They can be grown on a trellis if weight on the structure is an issue. They’d definitely give it a tropical feeling, I’d defer to Tom for suggestions.

[@lawrenberghanson4401]

The update looks AWESOME!! Now, you need a more prominent Godzilla statue precisely where you positioned the figurine.

[@SJB79225]

I am a gardener first and foremost but I love your posts. I love the new plants & what you and Tom & Caesar have done so far. I have a concern that the plants will obscure the view of the interior of the enclosures with the reptiles. 4 ft wide beds and mature plants would be my major interest,, but you are planning a reptile theme park. Unless the tour includes an inside experience also!!! (Not criticism...just a thought!)

[@KampKenan]

Good point! We'll be diligent about pruning and trimming and adjust if necessary :)

[@mattiashellstrom4682]

Hey! This stuff is just awesome to me! Im a nerd ofcourse! so i see this as super awesome but!!! imagine some kind of water feature with this with turtles or something aswell... And to Kenan! (as u are colour blind) the colours are amazingly well put together! As for myself i can only imagine how happy this makes you (i live in the arctic north so cant realy do stuff like this outdoors). And to me it is realy great to see people doing what i realy would want to do! My absolute best wishes and i can not wait to see how this will look once it is all settles in! Best wishes from Sweden!

Tom is the man. I think instead of old railroad ties, framing the garden with natural wood with curves like large branches or long trunks horizontally would look better. Give it a more natural look and make the outline less harsh

[@Jennifer-tf8ud]

My opinion also. He was going for smooth edges and he blocked it back up with those rail road ties.

[@TurtleSupplyWorld]

Hey, My Brother Kenan, I wish placing big areca plam plants one on each sides of the entrance, when it grows tall it give a look of welcome to the jungle,. And you can place some kind of creepers on the side walls lik turtle wine, pothos, which really gives a look of vegitated compound walls. And also iv seen so much of monster deliciossa just a cuttings wuld spread nicely.
