I love the POV style. I feel like I'm walking around the camp with you and visiting the animals. Definitely prefer this type of qna to a sitting around one. 👍
Great information, since both me and my brother think of some day getting a Rhino Iguana or a Rock Iguana, and with us living in Sweden, we have always wondered what the minimum need is when housing them Indoors. Now we have something to start with and go from there. Thanks Kenan! Btw, these POV camera shots were really fun to watch. I wouldn't mind seeing an entire feeding video, or tour of any kind, shot in this style. And I don't care if it is a hour long video, a full on video feeding tour would be really fantastic! :D
Hej! Vad hände med dig och din brors planer på att skaffa en Rhino eller Rock iguana? Jag hittar verkligen inga i Sverige, skulle gärna också vilja ha en, helst en kubansk nubila.
So glad I found your channel today. I've recently fallen in love with rhino iguanas after being able to interact with some this past weekend. However, I'm a long ways away from being able to even think about getting one. Plenty of time to get educated. .... and live vicariously through videos of your iguanas. Also, we do have summers up north. It's been in the 80's and sunny the past 2 weeks.
the tortoise that was biting your butt... I love how it was withdrawn in to its shell when you picked it up, like as if it was saying "it wasnt me! it was him!" xD
As someone who lives in the UK I face a similar issue, the main expense is UVB bulbs, I’m getting two more dragons soon bringing my main count up to five reptiles, that’s 4 vivarium to look after, luckily there’s no substrate cost as I use carpet but it’s still daunting luckily I only have to replace yearly as my lizards are kept in a conservatory, exposed to natural sunlight most of the year as well as their uv bulbs, there’s always ways to extend your UVB lights lifetime, windows, conservatories, gardens enclosures etc
Hey Kenan. Hope you and your family are well :-). My question is my dog keeps pooping in my Marginated Tortoise enclosure because he likes the greens🤔 and today I saw one of my torts eating the poop. Is the tort gonna get worms, what should I be concerned about, do I need their poop ? I’m going to make the fence higher for the enclosures. Thanks Kenan, I love what you do and what you’re all about.
Good morning Kenan, look forward to your vlog every post absolutely love your show. The camp is looking gorgeous, Can't wait to see the camp after the new croc are added! Love your face Kenan! HIT THAT LIKE BUTTON!!!
Hey Kenan! I know your channel is more wildlife-conservation focused, but I think a really valuable video need you could feed into is in the pet world. It would be so beneficial for first-time reptile owners everywhere if you did a mini series on the most abused and improperly taken care of species such as ball pythons, bearded dragons, and leopard geckos. I am apart of a lot of reptile groups on different social media platforms and find that so many people are practicing improper husbandry and there are so many animals living in squalor because people are not educated or have been misinformed by workers at pet stores. You are one of the few animal channels on UA-cam that give solid information that has been tried and true. You are also one of the few animal UA-camrs who just knows his stuff because you work with so many animals and animal experts. It would be AWESOME if a big channel like yours could help out. Just an idea :)
Kenan this might be far off topic but do you think you could do an adult bearded dragon enclosure video I would really like to see and hear your thoughts if not that is cool I understand and appreciate everything you do for us reptilian keepers
No glass for lizards is a bit simplified. For iguana's and possible. For most big lizards, monitors and teju's for example a big wooden viv with glass sliding doors still work ;) And for most smaller lizards a wooden or glass enclosure is sometimes even a must. Escape proof, or humidity or .... Most importantly is to get the right enclosure for the right animal. ;) Good to mention the uvb Kenan, so often overwatched.
I would love to work with animals when I grow up, but I don't get any experience where I live other than with wild ones that I pick up and move to safer locations. I wish I could find an internship or something with a place like this. I don't have much experience, but I'd love to change that and I'm willing to get dirty (when I say willing, I actually enjoy it more than I don't). I'd work at an animal shelter or something, but I don't feel like I'm going to get the experience I want. Shelters mostly have very domestic animals, and I've already dealt with all kinds of dogs and cats (aggressive, nice, etc.) I'd love to get experience with big reptiles like gators, snakes, and other types. I've had a small amount of experience with snakes, but that mostly comes from when I find them in the road or in a dangerous spot. The only experience I have with gators is when I stepped on one in the middle of a river. Maybe one day I'll get to work with animals. Honestly Steve Irwin is my main influence. I hope to one day be like he was.
Please do yourself a favor and take every opportunity. I am twenty years old and in college. was a volunteer at a small aquarium that had a ton of reptiles and fish. unfortunately they closed. now I am volunteering at a raptor sanctuary and have handled everything owls to eagles. take every opportunity! have a good day
Hi Kenan, It is really nice to see ur stuff. After watching ur stuff I also planned to own some lizards & Iguanas. I m from Jaipur(india). Here the average annual maximum temperature is: 31.0° Celsius (87.8° Fahrenheit) & the average annual minimum temperature is: 18.5° Celsius (65.3° Fahrenheit), so please guide me that can I have open enclosures for lizards & Iguanas in my farmhouse or put some extra UVB or any other light during night or winter season??
How long have you lived in south Florida. The reason I ask it I grew up in juno beach near PGA and US1. Then I lived in Jupiter farms near BR's. I reasintly found your channel and you remind me of the guy that removed a gator out of my pool after hurricane chris.
So reptiles can leave in cold weather? Even tho it's not ideal for them: and I agree a aquarium is a type of enclosure for reptiles(except turtles they don't care) lizards need some sort of aborial habiat(sorry don't critique my spelling) we know Slinky is too heavy for climbing and Guapo/Lola probably haven't done any of that in years.. so green iguana's need that extra space for roaming
I've never understood this. Since iguanas spend so much time in trees, why dont ppl ever put an arboreal aspect to their cages so they can sleep in a makeshift "tree" or whatever.
I want to get a dog house and put a chain on one for the back yard.... lol sounds like fun:) so i can do some yoga with my pet iguana named match ahah im looking into dog cages now lol no lie
A terrarium is made of glass. And a aquarium has no covering on top, seems to provide enough airflow to me. I don't know about iguanas, but they are perfect for bearded dragons and leopard geckos.
The problem with thinking that you can find collard greens up north to feed the animals, there is just one problem. But for the odd person, no one eats collard greens as a regular item up north. As a result, no one but someone who has the particular taste for them, grows collard greens. In my more than 60 years, I have seen collard greens at a produce store once, maybe possibly two times. Weird cultural difference. Like hominy, it's just a souther thing that has not moved up north.
Do you have any black soft shell turtles and if not will you ever consider getting any they are on the edge of extinction but is slowly being brought back please hit the like button if you agree 👍🏻
Tips: If you are thinking 'how do I do this as cheaply as possible' you probably should wait on a pet. And I don't mean you need to spend a half million dollars on a room sized climate controlled vivarium. Imagine having a kid and taking shortcuts in their care and how awful you would feel. As a college student I see so many sad animals in dorms because people love animals so they feel like they just have to have them. I just rescued 2 russian torts and the costs of upgrading them from a sad fish tank and the lights etc was insanely large. Not to mention the effect of all the plugins on my utility bill. It takes a lot of work and I'm glad they are in a better home but I still wish I could do better. Unless you are going to commit to something like it's your child it is not worth it. It is alive. Get some houseplants, or volunteer, or go on a hike and look for critters to enjoy and LEAVE THEM THERE. Owning and loving animals isn't always the same thing guys
Hey I just got to go on it from my neighbors name is demon and I’m trying to figure out how to make a homemade ketchup spending a lot of money if you can give me some chips please hit me up thank you very much
Kenan you need to explain more how you can suppport Paul Cuffaro and still bash pet tubers! According to you Kenan Paul has moved on to vlogging instead of hording animals. Of Pauls 10 latest videos he gets new pets in 7 of them. How is that moving on to vlogging? Kenan if you want to get the respect back from many of your viewers you need to expain more how you can support a kid like Paul that dont know how to create content without buying animals!!!!!
Never liked, or was very interested, in reptiles, until now. Love Guapo and Lola. ❤❤
I love the POV style. I feel like I'm walking around the camp with you and visiting the animals. Definitely prefer this type of qna to a sitting around one. 👍
Enjoy seeing you feed them :) make more of these types of vids :) that little tortoise biting your butt was hilarious :D
We want to get a rhinoceros iguana- so I'm here for my research. Loving these videos
This pov mode is fantastic. Audio is very clear!!!
This is extremely informative and overall OUTSTANDING video. Oorah Kenan!!!🙏🏽💪🏽🇺🇸💪🏽🐊
I appreciate that!
Damn i like Guapo, he is so handsome and friendly
Hence the name Guapo

Was just researching corn snakes when I got this notification!! You the MAN Kenan!!
I’m sooooooo HAPPY Guapo is doin so much betta!! Xx
Awesome POV kenan. Keep it coming
very informative was considering in getting a baby rhino and a baby ctensaura just didn't know the approach to take with the enclosure
Hey kenan love the video !can you do a video about blue iguana's ?

Great video Kenan. Lots of info.
Thanks for this video Kenan.
love the POV style. keep it up!
Good stuff brother
Love the head camera.
I love watching all of you videos 😄

Very good video. I loved it. Hugs from Brazil.
Every video I watch on this channel makes me want to move to Florida😂 Great stuff Kenan🤘🏼
Sage advice....and of course everyone knows I'm a huge fan of the Ctenosaura, keeping Hondurans indoors here in Virginia during the cooler months!
Thanks for the info and video.
all the turtles running over like dogs is so funny lol
Great video! Wished it was longer! 👍🏻

I want that setup that's the life!!!
Nice Video, feeding days is always fun 😺
2:45.... you have tortoise and iguanas in the same enclosure. Thats a dream team for me.. can this actually work ?
Would you ever consider switching to turtle pellets for your boxies instead of crocodile pellets
Kenan this might be far off topic but do you think you could do an adult bearded dragon enclosure video I would really like to see and hear your thoughts if not that is cool I understand and appreciate everything you do for us reptilian keepers
Kenan, do you have a link to the coated cage mesh that you use? Great video. I use the shredded collard greens but pricey...

OB1KaToby Look into zookeeper jobs, they don’t require many special things and it’s a great job to get the experience you want?

What about letting an iguana free roam?
Hi Kenan,
It is really nice to see ur stuff. After watching ur stuff I also planned to own some lizards & Iguanas.

Love getting to see the Chinese box turtles even if it's just a cameo. Love them
Cool video
Nice vid🤩

Have you ever thought or tried to grow your own greens for your reptiles I am 16 and I do not remember any year that we did not have a garden in
5:04 Did not know tortoises can move that fast lol
MiZtA_bluee Box Turtles 🤦♂️
Any updates about Angel? The albino?
Love seeing those tortoise stampedes. :)
Can you make a video talking about how to keep iguanas in Texas or
Down south and not just iguanas also other reptiles
What’s your opinion on green iguanas as pets? Solomon is a lot smaller than green iguanas so wouldn’t the enclosure need be be much larger?
Hello
What happened to the project of the sanctuary??????
So reptiles can leave in cold weather? Even tho it's not ideal for them: and I agree a aquarium is a type of enclosure for reptiles(except turtles they don't care) lizards need some sort of aborial habiat(sorry don't critique my spelling) we know Slinky is too heavy for climbing and Guapo/Lola probably haven't done any of that in years.. so green iguana's need that extra space for roaming
The turtles just crack me up.
Hey Kenan, wouldn’t you still need to supplement with calcium regardless of the natural sun?
For us up north, if we put the Ig in the cage, how do we keep up humidity, because the glass keeps it in for a while.
can tortoises be gi/ if so whar kinds are safe for them to eat/ven shelled nuts to eat
Hey Kenan, Cubans or rocks dont require alot of humidity right?
Not Kenan but remember Stas, Kenan is in South Florida where the himidity is high. Not rain forest high but average is in the 70% range .
I like this format, we don't have to look at you...ha jk. But really I like the pov, good vid.
You tried to show your skinks prehensile tail but he wasn’t havin it 😂
Hi kenan is it ok to feed a small rat to a corn snake??
Yes
SQUASH GIVES THEM SKIN COLOR...
I currently have 4 reptiles and I live in newfoundland. I wanna move to florida so bad
wow those box turtles can move man
i hope a long video where you spend feeding all of them and observe...
Guess the tortoise thought your butt was food.
Hi!!!
idol 😊
i have an iguana,he is called Daniel and,Im really worried about him.he keeps going gray and opening his mouth.PLEASE HELP HIM!!!any advice?
over 100 degrees? Or fahrenheit?
Yes
Yeh slinky we love slinky x
I've never understood this. Since iguanas spend so much time in trees, why dont ppl ever put an arboreal aspect to their cages so they can sleep in a makeshift "tree" or whatever.
What’s a better pet? A Cuban rock or a banana iguana
What happened to tiger
I want to get a dog house and put a chain on one for the back yard.... lol sounds like fun:) so i can do some yoga with my pet iguana named match ahah im looking into dog cages now lol no lie
Do you ever get overwhelmed over how many animals you have
A terrarium is made of glass. And a aquarium has no covering on top, seems to provide enough airflow to me. I don't know about iguanas, but they are perfect for bearded dragons and leopard geckos.

oh man its so expensive to live in a cold land, and wanting reptiles xD
Can i just let my iguana walk al around the house.
Every one who dislike couldn't get an iguana so they disliked
SKINKS NEED MORE WATER IN AIR OR BATH...
you changed the title
