This video is the definition of a kid in an candy shop. There is something incredibly wholesome about a bunch of grown men getting giddy about turtles and tortoises. Gives ya hope.

[@KampKenan]

haha thanks Cathy :)

[@Ochibason]

No need for hope. Way it is in their element. :-)😊

[@NinaBug36]

My thoughts exactly. Wish I could have a setup like this but it gets way to cold in Wyoming.

[@bkm2797]

What a beautiful habitat, it's clear Al put his heart and soul into this project, and the turtles are very content. Thanks Kenan, Al and Matt for taking us along.

[@KampKenan]

Couldn't agree more!

[@maryann350]

Dude needs get into youtube!! FANTASTIC place and person!

[@IrishTechGirl]

What a great place. Almost 100 species... blows my mind! Fantastic husbandry 😊❤

[@KampKenan]

Al is amazing :)

[@davidvento5481]

The last Petland closed here in NYC about 2 years ago during covid. They were my “go to” pet shop as a kid. I even remember the TV commercial with the (owner) dude in the toupé and the jingle; 🎶 *“at Petland we care.”* 🎶 😂

[@stampinturtles]

A turtle lovers dream!!! ❤🐢🐢🐢❤️

[@KampKenan]

Absolutely!

[@jonathanyoungblood8676]

Al’s place is set up . Very very inspiring .

[@sallyrutledge8238]

This place is huge and well designed. The turtles ALL look happy & healthy ! I love hearing two two turtle Nerds discus their deep species knowledge. 🥰 Al says it right.... Captive bred, get the price down, and then there will be fewer taken from the wild. A visit from Aqua Scape would be a wonderful idea to share with Al AND I know Ed will appreciate Al's commitment to species preservation . I also love the protective Mamma Pine Snake . Question: Any native predators he has to deal with ? Amazingly Great video !

[@BlackLagoonReptiles]

Place looks amazing!

[@glennusher4160]

This place is freaking Paradise. This guy is freaking cool...

[@loriw2661]

What a gorgeous property! He’s doing things right! 🐢❤️🐢

[@parisinthe30sx]

Sitting out there in the morning with a cup of coffee, hanging out with just the animals. man that must be so peaceful. I'm envious. Great video! You guys are living the dream.

[@MickSupper]

With over a $2000 a month electric and gas bill I wouldn't find it peaceful at all.

[@iamgriff]

I still don’t know what fueled my Herpetology interest, but I really enjoy these videos. Lol, my 5 year old granddaughter seems to be sharing more enthusiasm than me! I am really considering getting a tortoise to raise with her

[@squeakatu1981]

Wow just wow!! It's great when you come see just how much a person loves and is passionate about not just the animals they keep but they care about all animals! I don't know if you'll see this Al but thank you for allowing Kenan and Tom to film your great collection, I live over in England and seeing this makes me so envious if that's the right word to use, where I live I don't think I could ever have anything close to your outdoor pens.

[@susanelezebeth2751]

That place is epic wow there's 👏 for this guy! He's killing it with the turtles 🐢 and tortoises the enclosures are just amazing

[@Sequoyah_7]

Impressive. How fortunate to share your life with all those species.

[@danawinstead4018]

What a great adventure we just went on!!! I love how everything is natural and thought out.

[@Ninang363]

What a great set up!

[@tbella5186]

My box turtles LOVE their little pond! Love seeing other setups.

[@ansellexotics]

Hey Kenan!! I always love turtle videos!!

[@KampKenan]

Glad you like them!

[@hvgoldart]

Very cool set up. A hell of a lot of work with all that went into the builds and maintenance. Turtle people who keep plenty (but not that plenty) know for sure. Salut, Al!

[@GatorMike79]

All right let's go!! Awesome video and what a beautiful place!

[@KampKenan]

Truly special place!

[@GatorMike79]

@@KampKenan Couldn't agree more!!

[@BTheJacky]

Gotta appreciate this man's work. Amazing

[@leannepaxton5012]

Wow! My mind is seriously blown!! I have never seen anything like this! If Al ever decides to start a KZbin channel, I would subscribe without hesitation! I wouldn’t miss a video! I also thoroughly enjoyed watching Kenan having his mind blown numerous times in one video! Lol I hope Kenan and Al become good buddies after this! That way we know that Kenan will encourage Al to start his own channel! Amazing video! Thank you gentlemen! All 3 of you! 🤗🙏🏼

[@AvengerII]

@28:42 -- "Tortoise training." Moments later, Kenan sums it up => "That's a challenge up here!"

[@northernplantuckyplantcinc2630]

Well-done kind sir

[@lizarrrdbeth]

I'm turtle serious.... I'm digging this series!!!

[@saflip969]

This guy needs a KZbin

[@codypaynter8987]

Love your videos man keep it up love slinky to haha😂😂

[@KampKenan]

Thank you!

[@maryannevines8346]

I love, love, love Turtles. I saved, raised, and rehabilitated many turtles over the years. They are so cute, smart, and FAST. I named mine from where they were found or came from..we had some crazy names and each turtle knew his or her name 💓💓💓 Love Frogs and Lizards too. I didn't have to have my yard mowed which was great. You have the most amazing Turtle Ranch I have ever seen. God bless ❤️🙏🏼🇺🇸 I just subscribed and will be checking in often!!!

[@jereksliwinski2789]

You never know who might be a turtle/tortoise nerd! I would love to run into a guy like Al and talk turtles. Amazing setups 🍺

[@pinkysaurusrex8964]

That place is a DREAM

[@amydoreendarling3309]

Wow!!!😁 mind blowing, love it, thx you for sharing a great video.

[@KampKenan]

My pleasure 😊

[@amydoreendarling3309]

Really thx you so much, my sons and i love your videos, they are 13 and 15, and we are all animal lovers especially reptiles. Recently we have had to move into a small apartment and no longer have all our scaly family members, so watching your videos is even more amazing now. We live in north FL. My sons say we should come to help you work and meet you one day. Just thx you so much for all you do.😊

[@ratmannlibertyhound6755]

I think I’ll have to watch this one several times to get it all in.

[@imanimannami]

Definitely you're psyched Kenan! LOL! I'd be the same if I was there! Lucky you!

[@boazisraelbrem1579]

His place is bananas wow when passion meet hard work good on him

[@jameslane7642]

This place is awesome he is a real turtle freak what a collection its so good to see someone with a passion for something go over the top i reckon he still has plans for more good work !

[@andrewnseanmcgraw9878]

This video mentioned, one of my favorite turtle species, the alligator, snapping turtle I’ll love alligator snapping turtles and they are big and slow but powerful. I hope you have a good day.

[@BooneeXCdad]

I've bought from him. Great guy but I had no idea! 😳 There is a heaven.

[@sonjasisco8064]

I couldn’t find him on instagram. What an awesome place!! Some many different kinds. To know all their scientific names is impressive. A lot of work.

[@sonjasisco8064]

Found it!

[@neilhogarth8449]

Lovely to see a guy leave things to nature with the eggs etc ❤

[@KampKenan]

We agree!

[@jessipandarawr]

Gorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous! He needs to install a ton of solar panels though 😂

[@ryanosborne4943]

I love these videos where you're meeting up with turt hurders! His ponds are amazing and to think hes smashed all this since just 2015! Also may i say, what ever workout routine you're doing Kenan, keep it up, you look like you've been cutting 💪 great content as always, thank you!

[@cloudyclayton-youvebeengam7614]

Unreal! Such an amazing setup

[@KampKenan]

Jaw dropping :)

[@buckydoedowner9040]

Kenan you sure you dont want to move back to the North East? There are some pretty cool dudes and reptiles up here. lol I love these NE backyard videos!

[@KampKenan]

[@hanzifaction]

This guy has a sick set up!

[@patrickconway5335]

this guy is unbelieveable well done

[@T-Bone907AK]

That was truly an amazing yard setup, but if Ed the pond professor it could become an epic back yard.

[@TeguBuzz]

Awesome video man, love the setups Al’s got - passion through and through!

[@backflowdon4617]

nice work Kenan....great stuff Al!

[@graffic13]

Love that Kenan completely ignored the 2 Dinosaurs that were there😂😂🪿🪿

[@iBeHampe]

[@ianandalisonstewart4710]

I loved this! I will never see this in person so ...

[@davidvento5481]

“Here, catch!” Al was just testing Kenan’s reflexes... 😂 _Hmm, hope he doesn’t train all his bb students like that!_ 😮

[@KampKenan]

LOL🤠👍

[@Juicejunkie409]

With all those pods, Greg Woodstock would be able to connect all of them together and have a nice ecosystem for everything not saying it’s a nice set up now, but less maintenance

[@kritterkyle]

Wow this place is amazing!

[@mulltothree4375]

What an amazing outdoor area.

[@pomp5154]

Great video Kenan. Your knowledge and connections educate me in a big way. Ever thought about running courses for beginners. Your knowledge should be monetized my friend.

[@lucas.2.3.9.4]

[@d_2_0_2_4]

[@deborahhatch1856]

Just amazing!

[@dororexgaming4205]

seeing his russian tortoise habitat really makes me want to build one for mine even more. I only worry about predators and the unrelenting Texas heat.

[@vector8310]

A hundred species. My dream.

[@KampKenan]

:)

[@reptilemetaljen]

Nice setup! Excellent turtle video! 🐢🐢

[@YochevedDesigns]

Awwww, I love a good bromance! I'd kill to have acreage like that, but sadly I live in a country where land is crazy expensive, and our white list is only two pages long.

[@KampKenan]

you can live vicariously through us :)

Love to hear it!

[@KampKenan]

ThanksDrake!

[@Laurastars72]

Half my backyard has a naturalistic habitat for three Russian two manage desert tortoise two Indian stars. His backyard is my dream

[@jakehernbloom2501]

European pond turtle is soooo cool 😎

[@simajayaredevil]

Kenan, is it possible for these tortoises and turtles to cross breed? Plenty of different species in the same enclosures

[@Vectures]

Men I wonder if solar panel and going green with energy can help save on costs? I do follow a bit on that industry and have been hearing that they have been offering support to install those tech.

[@nicolarivett569]

Thought for a second i was seeing double

[@KampKenan]

:)

[@dwiz5808]

What do you think of the discovery show "naked and afraid?" You should apply

[@tighehovington4585]

Great Video

[@GregWittstockThePondGuy]

[@DoorsToHideBehind156]

He's 41?! He looks like a kid! I honestly thought he was half his age. I wonder what he does for work? He's got to make good money. A lot.

[@mamaeyang9464]

U should have him make a KZbin channel
