Slinky Home Makeover!

At least twice a year I have to do a complete clean out and makeover of Slinky's home and habitat! This enclosure get outrageously overgrown with the plentiful Florida sun and rain. Today I'm gonna make it look unrecognizably clean to ensure that his monitor lizard has the cleanest stream and coolest cage on the planet!

Hes so big almost time for a new hide! Love slinky definitely my favorite

[@sallyrutledge4726]

Kenan... As to your plant question, I think the Split Leaf Philodendron over in the corner is larger because of less competition from other plants. The smaller one has competition all along the side next to the water. But Slinky doesn't care about the green stuff. I bet snakes are one of the reasons he keeps breaking in behind the Universal Rock ! Love the ecosystem ...complete with those tree frogs !🐸

[@KampKenan]

Thanks for the input on the plants Sally. Makes sense.

[@isasantos3470]

Wow 😮 nice clean , now slinky can move around better in his habitat…..and by the way slinky’s is the best and the most adorable lovable ❤❤❤❤water monitor there is no way there is any other animal like slinky ❤❤❤❤he is the best 😊we love slinky ❤❤❤❤please be careful that slinky gets to big for that hole he went through he barely fit 😅you might want to check up on that ken-an 🤔

[@KampKenan]

Yes, thanks

[@maryvallas772]

The trim back looks great. It was definitely needed! You are going to have to widen his hide entrance! He's grown so much he can barely squeeze through it now! 😳

[@unLUCKY95]

I never get tired of watching Slinky explore his pond!

[@audreyhayes1259]

Ohhh so he mushrooms growing on the log and the plants creeping everywhere are so beautiful!

[@goodjuju0]

Slinky is getting so big!

[@IrishTechGirl]

Wow!! What a big difference. That was one heck of a clean-up!! 😮 Spring/Summer is coming, and growth is about to happen again. Nature always prevails. 😊❤ Luckily, Slinky has the best home. We love him and his human family!!

[@Will_Salcedo]

18:08 Slinky is one CHONKY boy 😊

[@loriw2661]

The majestic Slinky! He’s absolutely incredible and even though I’ve never met him, I love him so much!!🦎❤️🦎

[@KampKenan]

You are not alone Lori!

[@sheinz6119]

That is quite the project, Kenan! From jungle to manicured. I live in SoCal, I know about plants growing 365, but Florida has the corner on the market of humidity. Slinky’s enclosure is premium, thanks for showing us the bi-yearly major maintenance. You are always working hard for your critters. We see your love and dedication!

[@juliaboeck8110]

Looks great Kenan I think Slinky approves he was so happy he left you a little gift in the pond lol and he is definitely the most famous lizard on KZbin and everyone loves him

[@Annie-jp7yr]

Wow slinky will luv it great change Mayer my day seeing slinky he’s the best

[@deniseonthemove]

Lol slinky! Play nice lol home makeover.... fancy

[@srrfounder1]

Slinky and his habitat is the envy of all others! 😊 If he gets any bigger tho you might have to widen his hide entrance! What an awesome job, Kenan!

[@debzacher1332]

Everything looks wonderful and I know Slinky appreciates everything you do for him 💕

[@AvengerII]

@0:48 -- That hat reminds me of a wise man who once said, "That ain't a knife. THIS is a knife!" Machete time, Kenan!

[@robertalatora9965]

Love the Slinkster ❤ looking good

[@Brycenwhorton]

King slinky

[@Mary-kb5yq]

I really love the full green look with everything growing tall and full… sad to see most of it gone! 😢

[@jebVlogs556]

Kenan Harkin When is Petra and Petro getting a new expansion on this enclosure? Maybe and some water features and some grass patches in the homestead too

[@greenbankreptiles]

Black racer is living on a knife edge!! Tho think they are still there. O Slinky, you lucky lucky boy.. Daddy looks afteryou so well!!

[@MrGeezered]

Slink for the win

[@kirenjattan9885]

What a massive difference. Thank you Kennan for making videos on all your animals. Aspecially for use people who live in concrete cities. That would never have an opportunity to see a lizard like Slinky.

[@rebekahjoiner2092]

One of my favorite videos! I love the keep up videos and habitat builds/renovations! And I LOVE slinky! Definitely the best monitor ever!❤

[@toddtrierweiler958]

You forgot Elvis at Brian Bs Repterium ❤

[@candacedolan4857]

Was going to say the same thing. Elvis is pretty famous in his own right and a beautiful lizard.

[@aliciadaugherty9252]

Slinky will always have a better life with this enclosure

[@tenpawsteph]

Slinky is the slinkin king of youtube!

[@Shaden0040]

Hey Kevin if you want your water lilies to bloom you've got to feed them at least once a month during the spring and summer. Especially with those that are dealing with turtles They will eat the leaves stems bugs you name it Believe we need the roots we can get to him. Its slinky's enclosure you should be able to get tons of flowers and Kate will like that because they weren't getting by the turtles or tortoises for that matter. At best slicky might dunk one of them by accident but they generally flow back up to the surface and they'll be fine. personally I'd move all of your lilies into Slinky's enclosure or into Cayman Creek Where they probably won't get as muchly eaten by marge but you never know She might be hungry for some plant food. but at least sink these enclosure is clear and free of turtles.

[@linseyt7951]

This is like a home makeover. Always incredible to see the change ! Lots of work but its worth it 😁

[@jebVlogs556]

20:28 my theory on this plant,move that small bush from around it: than "air rate" the ground around that plant seen at this timestamp by picking holes in the ground simultaneously around it. It may not be getting enough air flow around the roots by the stock..

[@robertmulder1531]

Such a beautiful place you having there. Cool animals to, love watching the videos

[@crystalbutterfly4812]

So cool glad you cleaned it all out looks great for our Slinky! He is the best!

[@laurag1076]

Wow!!! U did alll that!! Great. Looks great ❤

[@seanbaros-qe1rp]

It's always good to see you Kenan!! Hope everything is going well!! Have a nice day!!

[@sandymorris9564]

Anytime the title involves Slinky, I can't click fast enough!!!❤

[@_MikeJon_]

I love seeing the plants and mushrooms growing on the logs. Looks so rad.

[@MrDrinkblood]

Love the enclosure, cant wait to see future enclosures

[@janetjedrzejczyk1903]

❤

[@patriciabrown6754]

The racer has a 50/50 chance of survival IF: 1. the racer has sufficient food 2. the racer slithers around very quietly and preferably when Slinky is in his hide. The con to that is you just cleaned the enclosure so Mr Racer will not have such large plants to hide in. Hopefully, he can play his cards right and survive. Racers are one of my favorite snakes. I had a striped racer come in my house and took care of my mouse problem when I first moved to my house. Wish he was still around.

[@Iris_Germany]

Nice makeover Kenan! 👍🏻 Loved the froggies ❤ and I think the snake has alteady been eaten by Slinks … Greetings from Germany 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@jackwalters1014]

I remember when you first finished that enclosure thinking, you need more plant life and cover. It didn’t take long to become so lush and full. And he does this a couple times a year! Florida

[@coledalby7099]

You’re dedication to hours spent doing maintenance is endlessly admirable. I get overwhelmed just dealing with 6 reptiles lol and CERTAINLY have cages nowhere even close to the magnitude of yours

[@erichtomanek4739]

Slinky Slurps Sinuous Snakes.

[@Rknowles813]

I'm excited to see the small hatchling pond/enclosure!

[@squeakatu1981]

That made me feel tired just watching you do all that work 😂 it must be so rewarding to do all that work, then sit back and watch the plants grow back. The only monitors I can remember off the top of my head are, of course King Slinky, then Jerry's boy Blackbeard rip to that boy, Brian Barczyk's Elvis, Toothless, Chicken strip and Baby cush

[@KampKenan]

The harder the work the better the reward!

[@jeffquintrell1963]

Wow what a difference love watching all your reptiles living there best life. Really neat!!!

[@paulettemiller5066]

Looks great!

[@KampKenan]

Thanks!

[@AlexSmith-ie9sp]

Was like watching one of those over grown lawn videos with how much you took down. Look awesome though all cleaned up, not to naked but not to full either. Can't wait to get the uodate when it's all cleared up and have a few days to settle and see how pretty it looks in there

[@Rknowles813]

The enclosure during summer is gonna look insane lol. Shit grows quick here!

[@robd1789]

Don’t know why but I love these clean up vids

[@DMOptionalboss]

The staghorn fern at the collection pond has more tannins that the plant uses to replenish natural minerals that make it grow faster. Upstream, those tannins are moving and leaching out of the soil, harder for the roots to absorb. Healthier roots means bigger plants.

[@nicolesargent8468]

Like cleaning your kid's room.

[@Raven_Claw-g9b]

Before, after and some in-between footage of the enclosure would be so cool to see. From lush to fully manicured, it’s like night and day! But that’s more work. Who has time to edit anything these days! Nice work though. It’s refreshing to see Kenan doing all that hard work himself.

[@GrimDan1789]

It looks so good. Great job!

[@michellemorningstar880]

Wow ...Looks amazing kenan love my slinky so much too looks amazing and loves those tree frogs and i bet slinky ate the snake maybe lol thanks so very much he the best ..

[@erichtomanek4739]

A whole new meaning to: Short back and sides and a bit off the top.

[@erichtomanek4739]

Good job, Slinky would be pleased.

[@keleighhogg9166]

Looks fantastic

[@rudolfjacobs6452]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@agnesvandijk2559]

You have also Elvis from Brian Barzyck the Repterium .

[@donzbarker-cross4330]

Great clean up. Almost looks like you know what you are doing! 😂

[@spingirl4855]

Wow you did alot of work and it looks incredible!

[@EVILZDAD8230]

A lot of love from India man U do a great job. Special Love for slinkster 🤪 ❤

[@deborahhatch1856]

Lot of work but it looks amazing.

[@AvengerII]

21:46 -- [SpongeBob French narrator voice] See the Slinky swimming, exploring... looking for an easy snack! There is no black racer in zee pond. Monsieur Slinky has already had him for morning paté!

[@brettsoutdoorexperience9422]

Kenan you gotta get a shrub trimmer. You can make really quick work of slinky’s habitat instead of using hand clippers/loppers. Looks good though!

[@Shaden0040]

Canon, crack kills, especially plumbers crack. Give your pants a hike now and then. Lol

[@ChristopherHovis]

I like King slinky

[@mariamccann7620]

Afternoon Kenan, any updates on buttercup?

[@barbhelle5481]

That was a lot of work but it looks great.❤

[@Mary-kb5yq]

Slinky def needs a bigger hide box with a bigger entrance hole… 😂

[@jebVlogs556]

Awesome set up

[@Amermito]

The bigger plant is near the outtake where all the poop goes so it gets alot more fertilizer then the one on the other side. My humble guess.

[@donuchiha2368]

The Plants prob get MORE sun than the other!! it being light green is a good indicator !

[@joefoster3676]

Slinky is so big you are going to have to build him a bigger heat box to lay down in when it's cold down there.

[@dustinperry9980]

Have u seen them big snapping turtles that u put in the big natural pond I believe u got them from Tom Crutchfield just curious

[@Shaden0040]

Hey Ken and now that's Licky's enclosure is tidied up a bit and more open How about putting a camera in the corner and doing a time lapse of the day a day in the life slanky? He can throw him from the morning when he comes out of his hide Into the zone light to bask when you feed them if you feed them that day and what it does swimming so on and so forth be interesting to see what's the water clears up what he does for a day. is it something you'd want to do?

[@nestornieves4683]

Whenever I need to do landscaping, I just convince myself that it is free exercise, and instead of going to the gym, I will work on the yard and remove weeds and trim plants.

[@FellsApprentice]

You need to start a compost heap.

[@GhostK.r.J]

Maybe because the big one is near the intakes so it gets more nutrients then the one that is at the out pump because it’s all clean water runs through its water

[@ac9356]

Wish I could do what u done for slinky as it is a patch of wild nature like it was made my Mother Nature her self

[@gymnast1120]

What about Petra and Petro?! Please Kenan. Upgrade their enclosure!

[@Shaden0040]

Kennedy can you use the plant trimmings for the Cayman and for the Gators to make nests? Or is it too early in the season for that to happen yet If so you should wait until you need to do that and then trim.

[@KampKenan]

interesting idea!

[@mattyb9390]

It’s a tight squeeze is the door lol

[@ChristopherHovis]

By the way we're getting flurries in Canton Oklahoma ❤

[@marcosavila1204]

I own 2 corn snakes and going to breed my own corn snakes so I would not own monitor lizards but slinky is a awesome lizard

[@frassvevo6155]

Should get a female for slinky💯

[@MFoster392]

It's time to make Slinkys door bigger. There's really no telling how much he truly eats besides what you feed him. You know all monitors do is scavenge around looking for food all day and he's got so many other kinds of animals and fish living in his cage with him :-)

[@SimonPepler]

May have to make his opening bigger as he's filling out alot

[@jyosgood]

Such a cool enclosure. Love watching. What do you do with all the debris in the back of the taco? Do you have a burn pile?

[@Jo-AnnaBuck]

I'm thinking he's going to find that snake. He's the king

[@spookyduzit]

Maybe leave a pile of mulch in a corner for Slinky

[@dustinperry9980]

Might be that one plant is bigger cuz it's closer to the intake bay and it may get more nutrients just a thought

[@YochevedDesigns]

Slinky's hide is going to need a bigger door!

[@EVILZDAD8230]

#moreofslinksterboy

[@floridacracker_]

I try to get rid of any invasive, personally. Except Cuban Anoles. Impossible!! I do use the as feeders sometimes.

[@patriciabrown6754]

At the beginning of the video you pushed a large plant out of the way. What is the plant called? Donkeys love that plant!

[@ac9356]

I don’t think it needed to be cut back as I love how it looked

[@EVILZDAD8230]

I love how old slinky poses for the camera @kampkenan

[@ToddThaddius]

Kenan I think it's Time to make that door a little bigger for slinky bro he barely fit through there and he's only getting bigger brother get to it for the slinky man he will appreciate it I'm sure just a suggestion awesome job bro on the clean up also!!

[@Momo-hy7qj]

I have a water monitor here in Fl as well, looking to expand his home this summer. What kind of pump and filter system do you have.
