Totally Tremendous Turtles!

My first love in reptiles was aquatic turtles. Now more than 40 years later I can't believe how many amazing varieties of water turtles I have! Even better I can't believe how many beautiful ponds and habitat homes I have for them thanks to Aquascape!

Before I started watching this channel, my image of a "private zoo" was a seedy Tiger King-type roadside attraction with a few large mammals stuffed into filthy cages. Seeing the amount of love, knowledge and care that Kenan puts into the Kamp has really changed my mind about private ownership of exotic animals (as long as they are well cared for, of course).

[@onlyjuan100]

Kennan is special isn’t he? I truly adore him, his family and his pet family, I’ve cried and laughed with him watching this channel, it really is therapy for me and my mental illness. I’m so grateful for this Channel ❤️

[@dianejohnson6777]

Same here with mental health. Tortoises are what keep me going love them love kenan

[@kyleerosee3]

Yeah theres def a lot of people have nice places that keep exotics. Not everyone is joe hahaha.

[@oskarszile4372]

Well that happen when you watch shows and expect them to have any resemblence of reality.

[@acinomllefrebo7671]

Hi, just wanted to say thank you all the way from Germany! My partner and I are sick with Corona and watching your videos is keeping our spirits up. We have two little Leopards here with us! Keep up the good work, we are huge fans! 🐢😊

[@Wolfpug]

You wouldn’t think turtles would have such good personalities. They are so cute & come right up to feed. Can’t wait to see your puppy.

[@lisaenglert3202]

They are 😅 my male loves going to my neighbor until I got him a female 😁

[@savbrooke92]

I live vicariously through Kenan sitting at the waters edge feeding his turtles. What a dream!

[@loriw2661]

Kenan……just a quick tip for crate training. Do it in small intervals. Five minutes, let him out. Do that a few times a day for a few days. Then increase to 10 minutes, etc. A crate should be their safe place where they want to be and never a punishment or negative. If you do short times they get use to it easier as they know they’ll be let out soon. I was a dog trainer for 45 years and I live in Martin County. I’m happy to help if needed. It can be frustrating, I know. 😉❤️🐾

[@rubykelly8619]

My heart is truly happy for this young man and his family🥰 As I’ve watched you over the years you really have seemed to have found your sanctuary of happiness and it really shows. Keep up the great work. You make a difference 👍🏽

[@staceyroberts3468]

I always look so forward to my mornings I know he’s posting a new video 😄

[@christinadvoracek997]

Love seeing all the turtles are doing good and teasing us about the doggy was so you 😆 🤣 can't wait to meet him

[@Loumarie0]

I could sit by this pond and watch the turtles for hoursssss

[@ChunkyManeTheFrenchie]

KENAN YOU DID NOT GET A PUPPY!! Omg that’s so sweet. I’m sure Sophia is soooo happy!! ❤️ Xo

[@christinakindler9112]

We always enjoy you sharing your habitats and yard with us Thanks Kenan ❤

[@RossJ316JC]

Just in awe😯 it must be incredibly therapeutic to sit and feed all those turtles watching them all come up to you. Your place is so incredible. Thanks for sharing.

[@Dude_its_Lyz]

I can't imagine how cool it must be to wake up every morning and be Kenan. I wish I lived somewhere warm enough that my pond didn't freeze over. Ohio isn't exactly conducive to keeping tropical fish and awesome turtles outside year round. I would love to just walk out front or out back with my morning coffee and just hang out with all those cool animals and listen to the water.

[@lisaenglert3202]

Yea me too. Florida is looking pretty interesting 🤔 I’m in Cali but it still gets too cold for most.

[@johnphillips5097]

Yesterday episode 3/12/23 Is called POND: the other side, this episode The pond. Love seeing their faces popping up for a meal . Just another amazing day at the oasis 👍💯🖖

[@harpers1niter]

Kenan got a dog!! What a wonderful place to live. What I would do to have one morning in this environment..

[@ThKiwi]

My one year old calls all turtles dragons. I love watching your turtle videos with her because every time you pull out a turtle she goes “Oooooooohh, dragon!” :D

[@spunkush]

Best reptile channel. You inspired me to plan on moving to Florida and making a pond and habitat for turtles.

[@GallonMilkProductions]

I've been thinking of this too lol

[@lisaenglert3202]

Lol so have I. I watch all the guys down there and I’m like...🤔 plus the warm ocean and I can have a freaking otter!!! 🦦

[@staceyroberts3468]

We moved down on the gulf side right at the Manatee River and Anna Maria Island beach. Anytime we go anywhere, we cross over the water and it’s been heaven! Just had dinner at the beach this evening…. U won’t regret the move!!

[@mareelutze2822]

, what a lovely break in my day to sit with you Kenan, a quiet gentle tour of your water turtles. Perfect.. Thankyou.. Up close to really view them.. Beautiful.. Your passion and love, experience and knowledge. What a magical mindful layout of a yard.. Thankyou for sharing with us all.. That live in countries which don't have such species to enjoy and appreciate the sentient beings they are.. 🤗

[@vicaroo001]

I love that big beautiful dark, round eye on the Indian Spotted Turtle. Her spots are cool too - but THAT FACE!!! A trillion likes for that face.

[@thetortoiseguy6449]

Go turtles go!! So great to see them lovin life & livin so well ! Thanks

[@twilacarson2308]

Your place to me would be so theraputic to have and go thru everyday. It would be so thrilling to find that the animals are so happy and that you're doing well in caring for them. So much satisfaction and so much joy you would have everyday. And, then you get to share it all with us and thank you. I loved it.

[@jeriniksich128]

I know you don't really like dogs Kenan and this will be a "working" dog but as soon as the kids see this puppy they will get attached quickly so please consider this if you get tired of the puppy and want to rehome it. Love what you do, I am learning so much!

[@christinecat1981]

Thank you for doing a pond Turtle 🐢 video. I love how big your turtle pond is. I only have 5. 3 rio gran., one FL red belly, and one yellow. Thank you very much for show off your turtles.

[@maryvallas772]

Kenan!!!! You can't tell us you have a puppy and not show us the puppy!!!! That's just cruel man! I love your turtles, they are so cute! Those sliders in Sophia's pond always crack me up with how quick they are to show up for the food. 😂

[@bettablue2660]

Don’t take him out of the kennel until he’s quiet. Click, open the kennel, then treat and love. Click, is from the clickers available at any pet store. Good luck on training~dog trainer, GA.

[@aronoiiel]

My favorite part of these feeding vidoes is how well you know your turtles. Tossinf the food by the log knowing turts are there is just so telling to how well you know your animals. The variety of turtles and care you put into them is fantastic. I wish more herp owners would be so dikigent in their care. Love your place!

[@cindybell9859]

Hi Kenan I love a tour of all of the different turtles that you have. It nice to get a close up look at some of your turtles. Can't wait too see the new puppy. 🐊🦎🐍🐢❤️Cindy

[@laartje24]

Congrats on the new pup! For the kennel training for the pup, just start with small periods at first and build up to longer periods and give him something fun to do while they are in the kennel. Food toys work great for this purpose. Best of luck.

[@srrfounder1]

The Japanese wood turtles are underrated, Kenan, they're pretty in a not-so-in-your-face way! 🐢

[@TheRealTburt]

Yeah. I like their black underside. They remind me of laquered surfaces.

[@nancyegan841]

I absolutely LOVE today's video. My favorite animal...water turtles. Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@joerklichte6095]

Hello Kenan! Your Reptile Farm is amazing, I'm totally stoked. We've been watching your chanel for years now. We are huge Fans of yours and we're glad to watch your chanel during quarantine😷😔 Hello from Joerk, Monica and the two little Leopards from Germany

[@sabby6237]

I am always in ahh when the turtles see Kenan and come over!! I just love it..

[@GallonMilkProductions]

Highly agree the most common are the most overlooked! I have a lovely stinkpot who is just a joy to watch and beyond easy to care for. They're a great indoor species due to their small size of 4 inches for males. I'm very excited for the puppy too! I know the kids have been really looking forward to having a dog!

[@lucas.2.3.9.4]

stinkpots are so adorable!

[@dinghydoppler9821]

I would ♥️ to see underwater footage of that amazing pond when it fills up!

[@exinilda]

Beautiful and healthy turtles ❤️🐢

[@vicaroo001]

I had a white Shepard named Lobo long long ago. Great dog. Congrats on yours. He's going to make the Kamp that much more secure and be the bestest pal you've ever had. Just like Petey!

[@emilymostert9973]

Looking forward to seeing the puppy 🐶

[@enuffsaid7310]

This is awesome! We were just saying you needed to spend more time on your large turtle pond and your next video is literally the turtle pond!!!

[@thecatsmeow9972]

So relaxing to watch so I can imagine how it is to be your home

[@aarone1981]

I wish my favorites would appear more often: The alligator Snappers! They are angry beasts, as are common snappers. As I write this, I hear Keenan mention the Snappers! Plenty of food for them!

[@kyleerosee3]

When you can see the turts eat it reminds me of the hungry hippo game.. Happy you got a dog...the spotted turts always will be my fav

[@joshberth2771]

How many turtles live in that big pond altogether cause, holy crap you can see heads popping up everywhere. Also, feeding all those turtles and watching them eat would be relaxing to me.

[@kevinneal9264]

Congratulations on the pup and the turtles are awesome

[@yiuqwfj]

I could watch this all day!

[@janiceellery1653]

Kenan's very own Ninja turtles 🐢🐢🐢

[@KampKenan]

They come in handy!

[@Haydi.8]

So excited to see the puppy!

[@Alberad08]

Once again, thank you for sharing these - always love to watch!

[@alisonnicholson]

Aww look at those turtles, absolutely adore turtles. Amazing to watch. The babies at the start were so so cute

[@Roach420]

Man you and chandler are making Florida looks really tempting the snow here Is consistently ruining my day

[@keithcunningham884]

Love the Aquascape ponds

[@Lizardbyte_]

I cant wait to see in the next video how the ponds have filled up from all this rain

[@heatherchiuffo5375]

We appreciate you sharing your yard/playground with us. I loooovvvvveeeeee turtles. Thank you Kenan. We love seeing the ponds too. Couldn't get better than ecosystem.

[@sueparras6028]

Glad to hear you have a puppy but not a fan of the whole crate thing. Doggos need close contact with their humans 24/7. And if you don't want them in the bed then a dog bed in your bedroom works wonders. But it's up to you. Just my opinion. Love the way the turtles are doing, they are so cool and can't wait for the caiman to arrive, your reptile family is growing by leaps and bounds. So happy for you and your whole family, human and the rest!🐕🐊🦎🐢🐍👍💯✌🇨🇦😎

[@bobbiehanke2658]

Lol Kenan sorry to trouble you sounds like me taking to my dog 💙🐕💙🐢

[@KampKenan]

🤠

[@sparkoulinos]

I can't wait to meet that puppy!!!!

[@LidiaRandomLife]

Thanks for sharing love seeing the ponds.

[@txmarine82]

Ur yard is amazing sir. I thought u were going to show us the dog at the end of this video??? I was so stoked. Wait to go Kenan. 😂😂😂😂

[@Trick-Framed]

I love you have so many ponds

[@laurenthomas7074]

What turtolly tremendous turtles 👏

[@francescol3307]

You should make an enclosure specifically for the Fly Rivers and the big Badiger and maybe the Mexican Musk turtles .. that would be great to get in watch them in videos

[@johnnyjones826]

Can't wait to see the dog 🐕

[@Cadie1990]

We need a new sky view of what the Kamp looks like now after all the renovations

[@staceyroberts3468]

Great suggestion!!!

[@IrishTechGirl]

What a lovely video. I so enjoy it when you feed the turtles and we get to watch them in their natural habitat. I love seeing the different varities and personalities. Each turtle is beautiful in their own right. Thank you for sharing your sactuary with us. ♡

[@ChunkyManeTheFrenchie]

You will LOVE the dog. No doubt. :)

[@krustysfunbodegas]

[@shoWbitz]

I LIKE TURTLES!

[@karyannfontaine8757]

Feeding the different kinds of Turtles you keep was interesting. Loved the African side neck among others. You live in Turtle Heaven.

[@amysuewest3826]

Can't wait to meet the puppy. Lobo, a little wolf? 😁 I must say you have one of the best, front yards ever!

[@beckyjo8745]

I would be in heaven with a yard like that!! So many ponds, I would be swimming with turtles everyday thats warm enough!!! Lol

[@archduke5273]

I miss seeing your turtles

[@lisaenglert3202]

Maybe make a patch of mud in the pond for the turtles that need it. Add 1/4 of the pond?

[@BlakeBlackstone]

Kenan is turtlly enough for the turtle club.

[@lisaenglert3202]

I concur 👏

[@ghazkull1919]

I love seeing all of your animals and the kamp. Your so happy showing all of them off it’s like your a kid on show and tell say.

[@mackjeremee]

My favorite turtle episodes. Yehey

Happy to help

[@ed2drak645]

Pls go on rasing those incredible animals

[@aprilfurcean8302]

[@getateuproundhere8491]

I want some sideneck turtles and some caramel red ear sliders as well 🥰

[@bandedboydreptilesbbr2.0]

That would be a great idea kamp...Just like the wild water lands✔i got something like that in mind as well but different with species of turtles

[@tbella5186]

What? The Kamp got a mammal!!! Awesome, can't wait to meet Lobo!

[@plug_0280]

Hey kenan could u perhaps get a polarised lense sometime in the future so we could see the turtles better

[@KerriGilpin]

Haven’t seen turtle feeding in a while! Love the native soft shell turtles! (Maybe consider a polarized lens?)

[@mypetvelociraptor]

You got a dog!🙌

[@belizeguy]

Excellent video Guys!! Thanks.

[@staceyroberts3468]

Always love a turtle video 👌. Still can’t believe he’s getting a dog after all the funny comments he’s made about not wanting one. Haha. But it’s gonna b the best alarm and thief deterrent!!! Can’t wait to see him!

[@codylyon5639]

It is special, I for one love watching you and your animals 👍🏻

[@randydillabough3469]

COULD YOU PUT THEM TURTLES IN THE BIG POND WITH THE ISLAND WITH ALL THE OTHER WATER TURTLES?

[@bonniehawkins2979]

Excellent.

[@XenoZenith]

Why does my year-old red foot keep hiding in his log that I got for him, he barely comes out to eat?

[@ashleydawn5033]

This video is seriously making me miss having water turtles!
