Not much I wouldn't give to meet & talk reptiles with Tom Crutchfield!! The knowledge & experience that man has is hard to even comprehend!!
Every time Tom was with the lizard I cried. He’s so beautiful and gentle. Cheers cherieK
There’s no higher praise than praise received from Tom. Well done Kenan! Chase is gorgeous and sooooo smart!!🦎❤️🦎
We agree!
Yesir
Hell yeah!
So excited, Tom is at the Kamp!! He has so much wisdom. What a great pair of mentors.... thanks Kenan ♡
👍🤠
When I saw this video, I was like "OMG OMG I can't wait to watch this one!"
Tom is not only knowledgeable, but also has ball of steels.
I love watching tom with the lizards. He is a wealth of knowledge. Congratulations kenan a compliment coming from Tom is a big deal.
Wow! Tom is the MAN!! He is amazing! He got the "head tilt".... when you get the head tilt, you've got it made!! Talk baby talk Kenan!! Talk to them like you do with Slinky!
It’s so funny seeing slinky peeking over seeing what’s going on
Wow. Watching Tom in action was magical. He is a wizard whisperer.
This video made me tear up a bit. It's beautiful to see a real monitor whisperer in action with reptiles they don't know before. 🦎
The man! The myth! The legend! You know you made it as a herper when the OG rolls by to see your place!!! Tom is such an amazing dude!
So great to see Tom and team at you're place, hope you gave them an tour inside Slinky' space. Thanks Kenan, see you soon!
Tom is a wealth of information. Great person to have in your corner.
It's so great Thon Crutch field stopped by Kenan!
To have tom come bye and work with you is a treat i would kill to just to spend time with him and learn what a legend been following him for as long as i have loved reptiles
A real lizard whisperer and tamer. Absolutely amazing to watch. These prehistoric creatures accepting a human into their domain.
You can see Chase thinking while Tom is in there, I mean I knew they were intelligent, but ro see him actually think and work out who/what he is... amazing
Just wow. The way he was with that croc monitor was mind blowing. Thank you for creating a platform where reptile lovers get to experience people we normally would never have access to.
Yes! Instead of trying to out do the "competition", both Tom and Kenan realize that they are allies who are honored to share what they have learned. And we are privileged to be in the audience. Good times !
The monitors react amazingly with Tom and his family.
Gotta say... this was emotional! beautiful video!
The love in Tom's voice when he speaks about the reptiles is so heart warming. It looked like he nearly teared up at how amazing Slinky's habitat is.
Mr Lizard King himself! Cool!!!
Tom is an endless well of knowledge, it truly is amazing to see him work with moniters.
It's really inspiring seeing someone bond so quickly with an animal most people would be terrified of.
🤣While watching the preview clip, I was very excited to see Tom at Kamp Kenan. I had to laugh at myself for that. Love this episode. As Tom said, he just let his lizard friends know that he is kind and there with love by acknowledging them with respect and equality. All animals senses it (humans are animals, too). It is another way we communicate other than sound or movement, and that's why you can't fake it. Once we abandon the idea of "human superiority" and acknowledge all things as equal and alive, we will create a better world. Until then, we will keep destroying and killing everything, including ourselves, senselessly.
It was a true MASTER CLASS being able to see and learn from Tom Crutchfield and Stacey at Kamp Kenan.
I’m so glad Tom is spreading his knowledge to keepers. He is an incredible to see the mass knowledge that man has. Love it!
It's love knowledge and understanding for these animals is incredible. I could watch him everyday.
By far one of the best kamp kenan videos in a while, def get them over again!
One of my favorite videos on this channel!!!!
Watching Tom work with these animals is truly incredible. He is the absolute GOAT of reptiles. I could just listen to him and his knowledge forever!!!
Agreed!
Amazing video. Tom is such a calm presence, Stacey also. What a great privilege to have Tom visit the kamp. Your a lucky man having such knowledgable mentors!
Yes.... Calm seems to be running through Tom's grandchildren too.
I grew up with Steve Irwin as a hero of mine. I've had reptiles since I was 5. I honestly know more than a lot of vets which is sad. All I do is study reptiles. Now this generation coming up has guys like you and Tom and Snake Discovery, etc. I wish I had this when I was growing up. UA-cam wasnt even a thought.
The highest compliment, thank you Steve!
Stacey is so smart, putting her hand on the cage on the outside near the female so she can smell stacey, and then she leaves. That’s the positive interaction you speak of that’s keen for such smart reptiles
Also definitely don’t stick your hand in any dogs face unless you know that dog very very well, get low, sit down and let the dog come up to you. Don’t make eye contact and sound soft and submissive. Let the dog smell you and accept you before you force yourself into it
Yes... sharing your scent gives so much information and shows trust.
Tom is so confident!! :O I was on the edge of my seat when he just held his hand right at the monitors face having him just flick but not getting bit.. Tom got to be a Disney character
I will watch this video over and over and over again 💖
I know.... so much to absorb and enjoy.
One of my favorite videos. They are outstanding people and so are you!!!!
The amount of knowledge in keeping reptiles that was on this post was impressive. So nice that he is giving you praise on your enclosures and of your animals.
When I was keeping reptiles, I always tried to provide as natural of an environment as possible (obviously the enclosures themselves are not natural, but I did try to keep everything in it natural. Live plants, soil, wood and rocks from where they live. It was always better than a “sterile” set up. Sometimes feeding time was a challenge, but I never got hurt.
Patience is the key. Earning their trust and paying attention to those subtle cues makes all the difference. Most of my animals were wild caught and released (temporary pets as I used to call them). I tried to not be too hands on with those animals as I knew they weren’t going to be kept long term.
It’s like Tom said, “if they don’t perceive you as a threat, they won’t be threatening”. Most animals in the wild will avoid human contact out of self preservation, but if you show that you’re not going to try and eat them…the posture instantly changes.
I’ve had my own experiences with some rather large animals here on Long Island that normally don’t approach people readily, namely White Tail Deer. As a youth, I would frequent the local county parks. There was this time is was exploring an old abandoned fish hatchery in Southaven County Park. It’s very peaceful and one of the few places that you can still see wild Brook Trout spawn. I was watching the fish do what comes naturally and there were a lot of squirrels around, so rustling leaves was a very common sound. I got up to leave and I turned around to be face to face with a large buck. It’s early November, so he had a full rack and I was dressed in a suede jacket and now making eye contact. Now there’s no hunting in the park, so that may have been why he was right up on me. He watched me for a few seconds and then walked off. I wasn’t threatening, so he lost interest and went about his day.
I’ve seen some amazing animals locally over the years and not once did I have a bad interaction, other than Mockingbirds. They really defend their territory vigorously and you don’t know you’ve violated their space until it’s too late.
Again great to see this. Keep on posting, we’ll keep watching.
So great to see Tom the Wizard at the kamp. Love there monitors
U did great Kenan. Being praised so highly by the REPTILE FATHER must make u feel wonderful. I could only imagine u thinking to urself “And I’m just starting out!!!!!”
AWESOME VIDEO-PERFECT LENGTH
Keep being urself dude
That is epic to have Tom at your kamp, Tom can teach you so much more
It's always awesome to have someone else to confirm that your doing a great job at keeping!
Always!
Has to be hands down my favorite video yet. I love Tom crutchfield. His wealth of knowledge never disappoints and he sees animals how I see animals…. I love animals far more than people. I do not like “people”. I have learned so much from watching this channel, toms videos, Tyler, Justin gator land, brian b. I enjoy listening to Tom tell his stories or what he’s been proven wrong on!!! The way he is with his grandson…. And can I just say how jealous I am of his grandson??? I’d give just about anything to switch lives with him for a day!!! Great video kenan!!!!!!!
I agree. Elijah is a really fortunate young person... as is Stacey. And you can feel that they LOVE the animals !
The way Tom’s grandson interacts with Tom’s animals is pretty impressive too
Yes, Elijah is a natural as is Stacey. Those kids have been blessed.
THIS IS THE BEST!!! Tom totally understands monitors everything he is saying is 100% He just went right up to them That how you have to do it !!!!! Now this is a educational video !!! Tom is the best
Tom is an icon. So good to see him at the Kamp.
To me it's a Mutual Respect and earning their Trust! Love your videos
I appreciate that!
The moment Tom said that "these animals are intelligent", just the way he said it, made me feel like I was watching Jurassic Park, which made the video even better from then on out. Fantastic video today Kenan! It was really interesting. I learned some things that I can implement when I get a reptile in the future :D
When a master comes to visit and gives that many compliments while still teaching, it is really cool to see. It sounds like the Kamp just moved up in belt color.
9:58 when Tom says “you smell that shit” 😂😂
The water monitor enclosure is phenomenal.
Wow Tom is truly amazing he came to kamp kenan epic ..hope the lizards become more tame thanks so very much epic video
That’s amazing Tom came out to help. I’m so happy you are showing people more of Tom and the ways to handle and keep animals with respect and understanding.
YES!!!
Fantastic response Tom has no fear!😅 true guru what a dude! You must be proud for his appraisal, good man kenan!! 🇬🇧👌🏼
Wow seeing you guys hand feed the male is amazing!!
Wow, lizard whisperer for sure!
Dadgum TOMS at the farm wooot woot I have wanted to see this so long. Hearing his insight is amazing
Made my day thank you so much for sharing Tom crutchfield with us he is amazing he is a reptile mentor for anybody who wants to keep reptiles. And learning about crock monitors is amazing I hope to have one one day and watching Tom crutchfield is like I'm getting the education before I get the animal .
wow, Tom really is a reptile whisperer 🥰
Even Kenan was struck in aw with Tom in that enclosure hand feeding that lizard.
I love Tom can we get more TOM
Tom is the man, Stacy is crazy! They are perfect
It's amazing how smart tom and his daughter is with those monitors. He knowledge is astounding
Adam, Stacey is Tom's wife🥰🤣
Beaming with pride for you Kenan 🙌💕 Tom & Stacy are amazing ✨
fantastic video and glad Tom got to show Kenan how much love chase has to offer!!
We agree!
It would be an incredible honor to meet Tom, What an experience.
Wow! Tom is amazing! I'm just in aww at how Chase was looking at and studying and reacting to everything yall were doing. And boy are those croc monitors gorgeous
Wow this was awesome! I absolutely loved it! Slinky is such a magnificent king.
Tom and Stacy are amazing.
Oh my Gosh, Kenan!! This was the best video! It’s too bad Tom doesn’t live closer. This video was gold. I don’t have lizards, and being in Illinois I probably never will, but I couldn’t get enough of the information. Watching his eyes show love to Chase was beautiful! Stacy definitely has the same abilities as Tom. Seeing them at your place was just amazing and I hope it happens again.
Thank you for everything you show us , Kenan! You have truly changed how I feel about lizards!❤
Love to hear it, thank you!
Absolute bloody legend Tom. The knowledge he has & has obviously passed on to Stacey is incredible. A genuinely lovely person. Great video Kenan.
So ,cool to see Tom check out the kamp
Hi Kenan What a nice suprise to see Tom Crutchfield at the Kamp. He is such a legend, and has so much knowledge to share. Lou Lou was shy of strangers. Chase was well behaved, and ate out of Tom's hand, how amazing. Tom knows their behavior so well. He can just tell by the look in their eyes. He gave Keenan some good ideas. They all had a nice visit with Slinky, when he was out. Tom really liked Slinky's large enclosure. He really likes Kenan's Kamp. ❤🐊🦎🐍🐢Cindy
Thank you so much for watching Cynthia. Glad you enjoyed it!
Omg i love tom,he's great ♥♥♥ watch all the time lots of love from canada #teamcamp
Wow..the professor was here today to teach the lesson.
tom is one of those people that i could just talk with for days. he is so full of information and experience. we can all learn so much from these people
Kenan... it's hard to believe that I found your channel 5 years ago because I bought a leopard gecko and wanted to learn more about reptiles and keeping. I can't have most of the beautiful animals that you have because I'm in Ohio. But this was the kind of videos I love to watch. I'm blown away by your love and for how you keep your animals. I miss Fred... Tom is a legend! As are you sir. I know Kate isn't always a fan of all the animals but I LOVE WHEN THE KIDS HELP! I can't wait to see Sofia's love for animals blossom. 😍 Love you guys so much and all the animals you keep! Thank you!
Beautifully said !
I have to add. Everytime I know Tom is going to be in a video, in tune in. No matter who's channel it's on. He is a wealth of knowledge. We need people like him and you to keep doing what you're doing. The internet has a lot of people pretending to know things giving out really bad advice. I know the difference but a lot of people don't.
Tom is the monitor whisperer.😊
Epic collab if I ever seen one wowza!! Tom has my respect like Fred!! Love the knowledge 👍🏻
Tom is so cool
I own an albino iguana purchased from Tom several years ago... absolutely the best and most beautiful pet I've ever had in my life. ALSO, lets not forget about that "Locked Up Abroad" episode featuring Mr. Crutchfield himself!!!
Love the Crutchfield’s! That Croc monitor (Chase?) was loving the attention and seemed relaxed. Slinky always cracks me up he’s so confident 🤣🤣🦎 awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed!
I love Tom I wish I could visit both of you
Tom is the Croc whisperer. 🦎🦎🦎🦎
Great to see Tom out there. What a compliment to have him say that about Slinky. How cool!
I got that gift that Tom has my dad Ken foose was good friends of his b4 he passed away, growing up with an exotic petstore an this life, you are born with a gift or obtain it through the years. Animals trust me so much, I think it's cuz of the amount of respect I have for them they know it 💯 😌
When did your dad hang out with him?? Had Tom been in prison yet or had the Bruce incident???
Tom is incredible
Tom….just wow❤
I love everything that you do Kenan! Thank you so much for always inspiring us reptile keepers!
Respect..just respect.. Thanks for this video. Much appreciated 🙏
Tom could probably write a book on reptile trust and care. I'd be one of the first to buy.
He could write a book on just the prison stories and shooting and all the crap that’s happened not just reptiles
Really enjoyed to watch this interesting exchange - thank you very much for sharing it!
Our pleasure!
Its incredible watching the master work
I would have been so excited..
TOM is definitely "The Reptile Whisperer"! Would enjoy a long video with him at the Kamp!!
Tom, Stacy, and Kevin from NERD just have an amazing way with animals
Hello great video information Kenan
Omg!!¡! I have to wait till later to watch. But I can't wait!!!!
Love from Australia 🇦🇺
The legendary tom never ceases to amaze me with the bonds he develops with these animals more importantly how fast he does it. You now have the honor of the coveted crutchfield approval so hold your head high my friend. Muchas congrats youve earned that one!!
What great visitors you have
