This Guy turned Wild Lizards into Tame Pets!

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Hi everyone!!!! I will visit Kenan at some point as he and I enjoy our rants! 😁 This was a fast paced visit so I was really trying to ramp up the information I had by fast paced yammering!!! We did further content which will be out to further the discussion. Thank you all for the wonderful comments, I really appreciate your KINDNESS!!! Kevin

[@RN-on4yn]

This is a super Collab You guys vibe together very well

[@benjietorres9642]

i was looking at some of your monitors...man those albino monitors you have are crazy cool!

[@siobhanpearson7198]

Hey you’re super amazing but I was wondering if you’re still working with spider ball pythons and what’s the deal with the ‘spider wobble’ ?

[@NimrodFowl]

I can`t wait to see that video! This is the best collab ever!

[@JoinReptiles]

You're welcome and yes please 🙏 i think your guys channels should be all about rants and experiences with and about this wonderful animal's that need urgent attention from us to learn about them protect them in the wild and captive breed them... so we can grow a new generation that will do a better job protecting them than us. So please guys get together...together your stronger 💪so we idiot's chance our minds about reptiles and our little one's can make a difference. Thanks again for all you do.🙏 Our 🌍 appreciate you

[@ReskaTV]

That guy is so intriguing and honestly has such a refreshing perspective on the minds of reptiles!

[@IrieRogue]

Yes indeed, Kevin is *amazing*

[@hootilyhoot]

Kevin is actually a pretty smart, intuitive, compassionate, funny guy.

[@matthewowens687]

Kevin is an OG in the reptile world.

[@Anubis30224]

I'm one of the artists for NERD, and everyone has been so stoked for this collaboration! I've been a long time fan of you, Kevin, Chandler, and Joseph Carter. This year has been absolutely amazing with the collabs you've done. Keep up the amazing work, Kenan! Maybe next time Kevin can come down to you

[@codybill3034]

We want more nerd collaborations!!

[@johnvfx143]

Steve Irwin would be so proud of both of you.

[@robertsutton3001]

😭

[@Ricardo2.0]

My heart!

[@xLUGUBRIOUSx]

Imagine him visiting the facility

[@jennahcollings1174]

Hes so ADHD in the cutest way. Like listening to my daughter who's doing animal management. Love the outlook on animals. I have been the same my whole life and been called a freak for it!

[@janiceellery1653]

there is some evidence that reptiles can imprint on humans and establish emotional and social bonds. Using behavior modification is part of it but the relationship with the animal is the most important aspect. People keep saying green Iguanas are horrible and yet I have tamed down adult feral ones.This guy is great and thanks for featuring him😁

[@GraceWhip]

Those are some lucky iguanas to have come into the care of someone who will take the time to figure out ways to alleviate their fear like you do!

[@victoriaturano1520]

Oh my goodness, the little monitor just chilling on Kenan's head, so adorable 😍

[@katesear7631]

OMG Kenan I think you should always have a lizard on your hat from now on, it was the cutest thing. Kevin is such a great guy with a fantastic respect for his animals. Can't wait for part 2 from NERD XX

[@donzbarker-cross4330]

Love the Kenan NERD mash up. Would love to chill out over a coffee and listen to these guys

[@patshhi4620]

"Ego is the killer of learning". Quote from Kenan. That's a great one to remember. Thanks Kenan, and hi Tom, nice to see you.

[@pegiegault5931]

I'm so happy he mentioned how your lizards like Pinky want your attention! You could really tell with several of them after you came back from vacation that they wanted your attention.. This visit with Nerd gives me a boost of hope for me and my rhino iguana. Kudos Leman!

[@susanspeight148]

Kevin’s work with the monitors is amazing!

[@johnknouse8846]

Kevin is the reptile whisperer! If you get an animal from NERD, you know it is a quality animal that has been raised and socialized correctly. I’ve learned SO much from watching and reading Kevin’s work.

[@dpreston8831]

Also the respect Kevin has for his crew shows his trust with his animals! Rob is amazing

[@gracedegase409]

Kevin mccurley is such a legend

[@sirkenn]

For such a large indoor operation, NERD really has some great habitats for their animals. Amazing stuff Kevin and Kenan.

[@bluedeva]

Kenan have you ever thought of trying a pair of polarising (*enchroma)glasses that work with your colour blindness so you can see all the vibrant colours of your scale babies. Absolutely love Kevin’s way of thinking, knowledge is power and it can benefit to our 🐢🐍🦎 lives for the better. Can’t wait for the next episodes 🤗🤗

[@williswilson8147]

Hate to break it to you but that’s not a thing... I don’t really know where that whole idea started but it is absolutely impossible to restore “color vision” to someone in this matter. Keep in mind though he is just missing a potion of the “normal” spectrum. Meaning certain colors will be indistinguishable for him but he still perceives color. (I’m an eye doctor)

[@bhutch216]

Willis Wilson what? Enchroma has been making glasses that correct color blindness for years. Yes it’s not a permanent solution but can let those people experience full color while they wear them.

[@beerthug]

I tried Enchroma glasses this Xmas and even though having a 'severe' colour blindness, they did what I've always told people over the years when they ask me what its' like. "I see colours, just not the same as you do." If you want to buy two pairs of sunglasses, one for indoors and one for out, then go right ahead and have three 'modes' of colour vision. Not saying they don't work for folks, just passing on my personal experience.😉

[@lw3894]

What Kevin and all the people at NERD are doing is really cool👍 You can tell they really care

[@Flarexxxx]

Bloody love how the little dude was just chillen on top of kenans hat

[@DaveDurham]

I train my lizards to do lots of things, I dont know why people think they are not smart. In fact Artemus , my rock iguana does just about anything I ask him. I think working with them outside is key to training.

[@nannyofmany8315]

Beginning to end glued to the screen. Wowww and then hanging out with crocs. Cuddling crocs awwww I want one. They are beautiful creatures. Unappreciated fir the most part. But like anything. Time, patience can turn a wild beast into a purring pussycat!! Still wild animals but not aggro! Love it. Loved the video. Thank you for sharing that experience!

[@lynn5490]

It's great to see Kevin again. I love listening to him and watching him handle the animals.

[@chrisclemens9103]

This is one of my favorite videos of all time!!

[@IrieRogue]

Been so stoked for this video! Kevin is such a gem, I would love to pick his brain. That's precisely how I became so involved with animals- observing their intelligence and the way they communicate- I was absolutely enamored. Humans can be cruel, and most lack the desire to comprehend. I was hesitant to begin my channel for that very reason. Thanks for this special video, Kenan 🥰 Great to see Tom again, you've been missed!

[@user-mu5ny1ks6t]

Sounds like Kevin is an Empathic, and picks up on the communication the animals are capable of putting out.

[@angelachandler8556]

i appreciate all of u reptile people who luv and care about animals not just for money but for conservation that is very important...lots of luv for all of u angie

[@monicaw5036]

OMG, I'm so absolutely jealous!! Kevin is truly the reptile whisperer!! I love watching him and listening to all of what he has to say.. that man's brain is absolutely unreal! Love, love them up there! One day.. I'll go visit all my faves.. up north and in Florida 😉

[@jolijnkruidenberg5807]

I can listen to this for hours... these conversations are just so interesting. How they talk about help animals in the wild by getting them in captivity. So people will fall in love with them. That is why zoo's are sooooo important. So people can see and have a connection with the animals that need protection.

[@brandywine2061]

Once you lose the fear you become fascinated, that's sooo good! Straight facts! ♥️

[@paulheyn4423]

Definitely an inspiration to the teaching world of reptiles Ambassador No Doubt. The amount of knowledge in your two guises heads along with Brian Cusco and Brian barczyk you wouldn't have to look much further for anything you need

[@gingercasciato6565]

I could listen to Kevin all day such a wealth of knowledge it blows my mind every time!

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Thank you !!! K

[@leanarobertson9169]

Love Kevin and all his crew! I have never been a reptile fan, but stumbled across a few handlers here a couple years ago. I’ve narrowed my watching to NERD, Kenan and Will Nace, for the most part, because I’m looking for knowledge, not stunts. I’m loving the cross-channel sharing here. 😀

[@robertgrant2023]

Tom Crutchfield and Kevin you guys are such Pioneers in the field I respect you and admire you guys

[@Kriket01989]

One of my favorite collabs to date! I 💜 Kenan & Kevin separately, but seeing them go back and forth was surreal! I need more! Lol.

[@julierobertson148]

I have watched Kevin's and Kenan's videos but I just saw this joint one. It only confirms to me that those willing to humble themselves and accept a role as steward of this beautiful earth of ours always have the greatest and most remarkable success at whatever they do. Bless you both.

[@KampKenan]

Thank you🤠

[@schitz9420]

I love how kevin explains about reptiles. 😁😁😁

[@keishajones1921]

Oh my, that was amazing. I have been calling Kevin the Reptile whisperer since I starting diving back into my passion that I have had since I was a young child. I have know from childhood that all animals have cognitive thinking . My opinion that the scientist that tried to write books back in the 70's and stated that animals did not have cognitive thinking did not really like animals and did not live with animals

[@CindyHuot]

When it comes to animal behaviour, Kevin is 1000% locked in!! He is the ultimate "animal" behaviorist on this earth & when I say "animal" i mean insects, reptiles & pretty much everything under the sun that isn't human!! I am not saying he is an expert in "everything" but he is always OPEN to learning animal behaviour & adjusting to that information !! LOVE the man for doing things the right way & we can learn so much from him!!! So happy you hooked up with him Kenan...I bet you didn't want to leave NERD!!! LOL!!

[@timothychrist]

I cannot think of a more interesting, entertaining, or educational collaboration than Kevin and Kenan! Long time coming but it has happened so only good things to look forward to. Now I must watch! Stay safe 🙏 and healthy 🐍🐢🐊🦎🦎🦎🦎 thank you!

[@vampireknight899]

That baby lizard is so relaxed, loved it when it got on top of his hat. XD

[@lizardguitarguy]

The video has been a long time coming. The two GOATS of reptile education on KZbin for me. 🐐🐐🐐

[@christicaballero1192]

Awesome video! Kevin is a one of a kind person. He is so interesting, I could listen to him talk about animals for a week straight

[@P_steez]

Kevin is on the forefront of reptile psychology, Joseph carter is doing incredible things with his monitor as well

[@DiegoHernandez-uu2fn]

This is a great collab, love both these channels and people

[@DiegoHernandez-uu2fn]

hhhk20 chill out keyboard warrior😂 don’t really care what you have to say🤷‍♀️

[@ocelotsix6six]

Been to nerd many times. Love what kevin has done. When you open your mind its amazing what kind of a bond you find

[@kevinkelley6911]

so glad you made it up there... when you plan to visit Brian and the reptiarium one day give a heads up and I'll drive up. love seeing all my hero's get together!

[@newtscamander7713]

At 21:30 you can see Lilith in the background. It's terrifying how she's constantly hooded.

[@elirane85]

That's what happens when you know you are the prettiest snake in the world, you become a bit of a diva ;)

[@Pearce_720]

This so awesome to see you and Kevin together. Loved this video. Can't wait for more. Kevin is amazing.

[@dnico]

Awsome Kevin is reptile god you are both the best animal educators in the world reptile intelligents and emotion 💚🐊🐢🦎🐍🦖✨

[@Salamanders1018]

His dwarf is literally so beautiful, I hope to see some of them at the Kamp soon

[@joshuamoss9056]

8:40 ik you're talking about monitors but my northern pine is 100% attached to me. Hes like a puppy dog. Ill sit down and he will explore and then crawl into my lap and shoulders and won't let too many people hold him. He would just crawl back to me. The bond you get eith reptiles is a great feeling. I got a boiga and she is a sweetheart but still a little shy. After a month shes finally eating off the tongs and today she was out on her branches this morning finally. Still kinda tucked her head away from me when turning her lights on but shes relaxing with me :)

[@tclproduktions5404]

Such a beautiful, calm croc! Looks like a real friend to his owner which is amazing!

[@meowschwitz13]

This guy is a trip, I think this just became my favorite episode.

[@kittykat4168]

Talk about talking to the animals...what an amazing place and the amazing people that keep them all happy...just love them all...awesome vid Kenan...

[@adamxtremefishenthusiasts4475]

Like Chandler's Wildlife with Ziggy hard work and dedication pays off

[@greatplainsman3662]

Fantastic video. He's so right on so many levels. I've spent my life around all kinds off animals (farmer), whatever species, it takes time, animal speak, kindness, and patience. The rewards are life long. Thanks.

[@sherkylady7765]

Kenan, I can tell you are an eager pupil listening intently. Kevin is a great teacher. Happy to see you 2 together because you are both in love with what you do and your animals know they are safe.

[@wenoldenburg4873]

So glad you posted your time at nerd! I love Kevin and nerd but since twitch I don’t get to see them much. I hate twitch and have been waiting for your video there. Thanx have a great day

[@adellekalon5562]

Loved the Nerd and his people. Loved you Kenan and family

[@loriw2661]

Kevin is a hero of the reptile world. What he is doing, to take away the negative stigma people associate with these animals, is so important. He’s pioneered an amazing way to interact with them and I hope more reptile people can drop their egos and learn from him. The reptiles that are living in captivity will be the ones who benefit from that. 🐍🐊❤️🦎🐢

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Thank you very much !!! K

[@chrisbaer4126]

I can't even tell you how stoked I was when I saw this video pop up on my feed!!!! 🐊🦎🐍 Over the years I have learned so so much valuable information from Kamp Kenan and NERD, I ould literally just listen to Kenan and Kevin nerd out for hours. Keep up the great work you guys do, your such an inspiration to me and I'm sure many other people as well.

[@billsawilchik1829]

Amazing segment. Brilliant "out of the box" thinking. As mentioned - it was very fast paced for obvious reasons. But, I'm sure enthusiasts would love to see a succinct and methodical description and lesson on the acclamation process. Thanks for caring

[@Dracobear13]

KEVIN is awesome, much respect and admiration for him.

[@jeremypinter9044]

Haha Kenan! You look like a kid at an amusement park! So happy!

[@ashleyking9985]

Awesome video, Kevin's understanding is second to none!!

[@parksrus2534]

Two of my favorite people on KZbin in one place on my favorite animals. Thanks for making my day even better keep up all the work your an inspiration to us all.

[@gaetanoiuculano7895]

Would love to see this guy perform his monitor magic on a Komodo dragon! Imagine having a Komodo that can be handled and interacted with like his water monitors!

[@NewEnglandReptile]

I could the exact same things!!!! That would be a dream. I had a zoo keeper tell me he uses my techniques on Komodos and it WORKS!!!! K

[@wenoldenburg4873]

Oh! Just need to say I love your collaborations esp with good animal lovers

[@curisitykilledthecatnone7730]

Wow who else thinks it would be a cool video to see Kamp Kedan, Nerd and Brian from the Repteriam all get together with a few of their most amazing animals and talk. I could see Brian with Lucy his amazing huge retic, his albino alligator and his anaconda the huge female one and Kamp Kedan with slinky one, of your huge beautiful tortoises and for Nerd Kevin has a beautiful albino cobra and a few other more fun and deadly creatures he could bring and maybe even get mink man to come and bring his lizard and a few mink lol. That would be one hell of a collaboration video that very one would want to see on all the channels lol

[@lyzzidc]

Kevin is the reptile person I want to be when I grow up (haha I'm 31), but I tell people all the time that in Australia we've only domesticated reptiles for a few decades and they're not bred for personality like dogs and cats, but for physical attributes, but if I ever breed reptiles I would want to try breeding for personality

[@WildLife_Perspective]

It's amazing to see you guys come together and share your thoughts and ideas with each other. Wonderful video!

[@fat3lwound]

I’m definitely going to get something from NERD in the future. Love what he and his crew are doing over there.

[@mrreneboy]

Kevin is one of the best in the business. A lot of people think he is overpriced but you can obviously see he puts in the work and the quality reflects the price! Good stuff Kenan!

[@Buffy_kitten_offical]

One of these days I will own one of his black dragons I love the guys at nerd and you are amazing ty

[@flowersreptiles2707]

I relate to Kevin more than anyone else in the hobby, when it comes to what my focus is working with reptiles. I’d like to understand them on a deeper level so our interactions are even more incredible

[@Trick-Framed]

They are pets. Not just animals in enclosures. This video was incredible. These animals are so domesticated! It's incredible! Kudos to your work good sir and thank you Kenan and Tom for this footage!

[@evelyn_r]

Loved seeing the interactions between you two and both recognising Joseph and Tom as well. I follow Kevin, Joe and yourself and I've honestly been loving the thoughts and ideas that you all tend to channel when you're all together. It centred on what works best for the animal and using those as a basis for new potentially better ways of doing things. Amazing, love it! ❤❤❤

[@deebz22]

The evil Morph God is a legend. Always teaching just by talking normally. Did u see the excitement in Kenans eyes when he saw Rob amd the Caiman then when he held it👏🏿

[@jhooker1979able]

Great collaboration. 🤘🙏🏼💙💙 I loved every moment of this video. Thank you to all and most of all #Kamp 👑💙

[@kennylefou7688]

I love this. Reptile gods Kevin, and Kenan together!! Also Kevin is like me. I don't like people. But I love animals. Especially reptiles! Reptiles are the best pets ever.

[@GraceWhip]

Such an amazing attitude "I know what I'm capable of, but mistakes will always happen."

[@PrinceDuCiel7]

He reminds me of the cat guy. Tries to understand animals based on how they perceive the world and approach them That way. I’m glad somebody is doing this for lizards as well.

[@KampKenan]

🙏🤠

[@lindaburcher3908]

Thank you both for this video. I love the way you feel about animals.

[@charlijames6698]

This was amazing. So excited for the rest of the videos.

[@amcgeckos]

Super epic video!!!! Thank you so much Kenan and Kevin both love you both and everything you both do!!! Truly inspirational men!!! Great having Tom back!! We missed you Tom!! Great footage as always!!!

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Appreciate that ! K

[@runningbear8088]

Welcome to New England I hope you had a great time while you're up here up in the cold LOL it was nice to finally see you with this Legend you're becoming quite the legend yourself that's why it was great to see this video. Kevin is the guy that I buy my pets from because I trust him and when I buy an animal from him I'm getting top of the line my opinion but definitely it was nice to see you here

[@selinametalslasha]

You and your friends always have such fresh takes on topics. Love learning about all these different ways of caring for and coexisting with animals. Welcome back Tom! We missed you!

[@NemiDK81]

Yaaay Hi Tom, welcome back! Awesome video guys! "Ego is the killer of lerning", i absolutely love that. And honestly i just wanna be a fly on the wall, while you and the Nerd guys geek out together. Love your energy and passion.

[@amandastephens8303]

THE VIDEO OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!☝🏻🙋🏼‍♀️

[@boscoe420]

Glad to see you do a video with Kevin him and his crew are badass

[@travisduarte4236]

[@sherrybrzeczka7966]

Truly enjoyed this!

2 of my favoite herpers in the same room! Love it!

[@michaelnancyamsden7410]

Kevin you are a pioneer. Never doubt your value or knowledge.

[@leeweyer3140]

Love seeing relationships with all creatures animals friends it’s amazing 💜💜💜

[@jhurley4481]

Great work as always Gentlemen, I have followed Kevian for years ,in my opinion he's The best out there,he has learnt from the old school legends and become a modern legand himself, he's one of a few people who can think outside the box and see things from the animals perspective. He also has vision like no one else , the amount of worlds first he has created and done first is unbelievable, when I watch him and he shares his wealth of information it's a houner,I look forward to more colabs.

[@lilmanop]

Great collab nerd and kevin are game changers! I would love to get a monitor from them even though they are more expensive

[@jezebulls]

Wow this is my favorite video hands down. I’ve had 0 interest in reptiles, but I’ve been watching all of his videos non stop.

[@KampKenan]

Wow thank you!🤠
