Tortoise lives matter too!This one looks like a wise old man; If he could speak he would probably give humans some good advice like slow down and focus on the important things more. I am glad Sam didn't listen to the people who advised he be put down. I hope grandpa tortoise has many more years ahead of him, Long live the Tortoise King!
"Look at the poop!!!" Folks have no idea how important your poop is... it basically tells the health of your body!!! I've been in the medical field for 40 years... one of the very first questions asked when someone is sick is... When was your last BM?? Keep up the wonderful work you both do!!
Agreed. I've been in the nutrition field for 20 years. You have to have a healthy gut - its essential to every function of the body, including the brain. No poop, hard poop, runny poop, etc., it all tells a story. HMS brought a smile to the face tonight. Happy to know he's doing well =)
It was so good to see HMS doing so well after being at deaths door for so long. Here's hoping he lives for a long time yet. Thanks Kenan, the update was much appreciated.
One of the things I love about Kenan is that we has friends that he values from all walks of life. It’s refreshing to see someone on the platform that doesn’t care how famous someone is or how much “clout” they have. It’s important to show how valuable it is being friends with people for who they are, not just how they fit your image.
This is fantastic news, I’ve been waiting to see if there was any updates on HMS and seeing him eating his dinner looking so regal is absolutely amazing 🎉🎊🎉 So happy for Sam and HMS his dedication really has paid off 🐢🤗🐢🤗🐢
This is great, happy to see him so alive and well. "I do not know what the herb was called" even if it wasn't 100% legal I'm happy it helped that big guy.
I am so ecstatic to see that HMS is fully recovered. When I saw your first video about HMS when he was sick my heart sunk and I was so sad. I donated some money to Sam to help with the medical expenses and I put the link in my bio where others could donate to help HMS. I am so, so, glad he made a full recovery and is a happy, healthy, Galapagos tortoises now. 🙏🏼🐢🙂
Oh, I'm so glad we got to see HMS again! I thought of him so many times and wondered if he was still with us. Thank you for the update. What a beauty!!! And Sam is amazing and always fun and informative.
Herb to stop internal bleeding: Yunnan Baiyao (Yunnan Paiyao, Yun Nan Bai Yao, 云南白药) is the best-known household Chinese medicine in China used to stop bleeding and promote healing from minor wounds or internal injuries.
This man is amazing!!!! God Bless you sir for saving this beautiful animals life💚🐢 your animals are beautiful and so well kept. Thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge!
What a wonderful video Dr.Richard Funk was a family friend in the 90s.He helped my mom with our tortoises for years and even stayed with us with his wife for a month.He taught me a lot about reptiles and even sent my pancake tortoise to breeding facility to help with the blood lines.I love what your doing kenan keep up the good work.
OHMYYES! Watching that majestic darling creature eat was a treat in of itself, but hearing his backstory makes that all the more magnificent. Live long and prosper HMS!!! YOU are adorable.
This is so fascinating! For many of us who will never have tortoises or go to the Galapagos, we get to experience this via your willingness to share. Thank you so much! What beautiful souls these animals have.
I would love to know more about cytology, protozoa, parasites ... I remember looking through countless microphotography slides trying to find out what was wrong with my Diamondback terrapin. Having a microscope is like looking into a whole new world. I would be thrilled to get more info about this. Thanks Guys!
Iv been thinking about this tortoise for soooo long. Since you posted the first video about him! I’m so so so soooo happy he alive and healthy. My heart smiles!
I've been wondering about HMS since the video that he was really sick in. I donated money because I was so devastated to see such a beautiful creature in such a state of despair. So happy that he's well! Ty so much for this video!
Very cool to see he is feeling better. I wish I would have had more knowledge when I was told to put one of my girls down. I just did what the vet suggested.
I love that decade he does in his intro every time I watch it. As a retired bmx rider (don't have the time anymore between 2 kids and work and can't risk injury bcuz I have to work) but I can still remember when he came out with the decade first back in the day. Kenan is not just a reptile keeper legend but he's also a bmx legend with the likes of mirra (rip) nyquist nastazio ect. Much respect to you kenan. I hope you see this bcuz you were and still one of my favorite riders ever. I idolized you and the other top guys as a kid. Im 30 years old now and man does time fly but I'll never forget the golden age of bmx with you right at the top. Bmx is full of hipsters and a bunch of dudes that ate horrible examples for the youngsters. You guys were actually good dudes we looked up to and aspired to be. Thanks for all the legendary bmx memories and the reptile work you do today. You truly are great in what ever you set your mind and heart into. Don't ever change kenan. I honestly don't think you will. Your not that type of person. Thanks again for all the great bmx memories. I'm thinking of starting a channel on my panther chameleon but Idk. Well see.
Hello KENAN TOM. N. SAM. 👋🏾 Luv the video as always thanks for sharing I really enjoy the feeds when you’re visiting friends Kenan Way to go SAM beautiful tortoises
Thank you for sharing. We have a Desert Tortoise named Tortuga. He wasn't doing well either, not bleeding though. He won't eat and had a rattling sound. Took him to the vet. Have to give him shots every four days. He is doing better. We put him in a kiddie pool because it got up to 105° in AZ. Looks like rain today, we don't want to put him in his habitat because it is too far away to monitor him.
Just watching & hearing HMS crunch on his lettuce is awesome! I’ve gotta make a trip down there I would love to see HMS in person!! I’ve always loved tortoises & turtles! I’ve still have my 1st turtle I ever got he’s an Eastern Box Turtle I found in the road in front of our farm when I was 5yrs old & I’ll be 33 in March & he is still going strong & loving life! Especially his new “Turtle Table” I just built with some tweaks with a small pool since he does like to take a dip every now & then!
Man, I remember watching that original video and feeling so bad for the big guy. Amazing that HMS pulled through! One does not simply tackle a few hundred million years of evolution
Like 623! How are you my friend? That is one beautiful animal! 🐢84 years old! God bless! His shell almost looks like it was polished! Glad to hear you got him back to normal! Hope all is well with you guys and the animals! Have a great rest of the week! Take care till next time from Brooklyn!!!😎👍❤️🐢
dude. these videos are the best. honestly knew nothing about torts a few years ago. but watching your channel has taught me so much. Thanks for the great content year after year. Not really the place to ask questions, but would love to know how you got into reptiles and which at the Kamp were the ones that made it your passion.
EXCELLENT video - very good photography and a wealth of knowledge from Sam! This type of video is very informative for beginners and expert hobbyists alike! Thanks Kenan!
I love turtles..I've had turtles my while life you guys are amazing I love watching your videos and showing my friends wish there were more people like you the world would be a more fruitful place when it comes to animals..
Microscopes are invaluable! There's a reason we use them all day long at vet clinics. SOOO much can be learned from poop, blood, urine, skin scrapings, ear debris, etc!
From Wikipedia on the efficacy of Yunnan Baiyao: "Oral administration was shown to produce negligible results in laboratory tests.[2] In vitro studies have suggested a theoretical benefit in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.[21] Some studies have found heavy metal levels below oral tolerance levels, however the significance of this finding is not known.[22] Multiple routes of drug administration results in varying degrees of efficacy. Topical administration has been shown to have a degree of efficacy possibly through ultrastructural changes in platelets and platelet-constituent release. The effect of Yunnan Baiyao on the coagulation biochemical system has not been fully elucidated, but it has been suggested that the expression of glycoproteins on platlets plays a role.[23] One in vitro study found that Yunnan Baiyao causes dose and time dependent hemangiosarcoma cell death through initiation of caspase-mediated cell apoptosis in a canine cell cancer line but did not suggest usefulness in patients.[24] Another study found no significant difference from placebo regarding buccal mucosal bleeding time, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, and clotting parameters in canines.[25] There is no high-quality evidence supporting the use of Yunnan Baiyao for either rheumatoid arthritis or hemangiosarcoma available in publicly reported scientific literature as of 2019."
Just like Sam said I have a Blue and Gold Macaw who has caught pneumonia twice. And just to tell you in case you dont know birds are like tortoises by the time you notice they are sick it is too late. However, since we hold our bird and listen to her everyday we noticed right away that something did not sound right. We took her to the vet and sure enough she had gotten sick. Even the vet was impressed! He said he hardly ever sees a bird who gets sick that makes it! So long story short pay close attention to you animals. You have to know what that animal looks like and sounds like everyday to know when there is a problem.
You guys are great. I have a small female make her burrow in my yard and I am trying to plant for her. The hibiscus did not stand a chance. She got up on her back legs to reach upper leaves, is that normal?
Good husbandry is important. I wish I knew this to save a ornate Box Turtle. I saved him once from a major lung infection but years later he didn’t survive some bad newly added tank mates I didn’t realize were loaded with parasites. I really should have quarantined the two females before I put them in with him but they seemed to healthy and were eating great when I got them.
Treating turtles and torts must be difficult with the shell. I imagine it makes a lot of simple tests and procedures much more difficult 🤔🐢 The emoji looks like a turtle/tortoise hybrid 🤣

It is so satisfying to watch a tortoise eat! Whether it's a tiny baby or a giant Galop, it's a good time.
To look into there eyes is crazy, The history they have been thru ! ❤️🐢❤️🐢❤️
When even the cameraman has good questions you know that you are going to get great information
That cameraman was also terrified of these animals. He has come a long way.
Daniel Dulu yes! I was just thinking that.

Been waiting on this update for a long time. So happy HMS has come back from the brink!
Ikr!!!! @Tall Traveller
This is an update I've been waiting for... What a second.. any news on Goliath and his hemipens? O____0
I could listen to Sam talk about tortoises all day
"Look at the poop!!!" Folks have no idea how important your poop is... it basically tells the health of your body!!! I've been in the medical field for 40 years... one of the very first questions asked when someone is sick is... When was your last BM?? Keep up the wonderful work you both do!!
People don’t realize how bad constipation can be. It can make people really sick
What's your email?
That’s how I knew my tortoise had parasites and was able to fix his system
Agreed. I've been in the nutrition field for 20 years. You have to have a healthy gut - its essential to every function of the body, including the brain.
No poop, hard poop, runny poop, etc., it all tells a story.
HMS brought a smile to the face tonight. Happy to know he's doing well =)
I’m about to get a microscope for my bathroom
One of my favorites here at Kamp Kenan. Sam is amazing and watching HMS gorge himself on romaine is glorious.
It was so good to see HMS doing so well after being at deaths door for so long. Here's hoping he lives for a long time yet. Thanks Kenan, the update was much appreciated.

Incredible story! I remember the video 2 years ago. Was very fascinated how they approached this, happy to see everything worked out well
I am so glad HMS is doing so well!!!
I've been wondering about HMS since the video that he was really sick in. I donated money because I was so devastated to see such a beautiful creature in such a state of despair. So happy that he's well! Ty so much for this video!
I'm so glad HMS feels better! Truly a wonderful story :) 🐢
What a beautiful and majestic animal. I would love to see one in person and actually pet it.
Beautiful animal and we'll done in binging him back to good health.
Very cool to see he is feeling better. I wish I would have had more knowledge when I was told to put one of my girls down. I just did what the vet suggested.
I love that decade he does in his intro every time I watch it.

Sam really appreciate to see this tort in good health now, you really takes care of this tort, remember you replied on my comment on that video sam?
I like Sam Crutchfield, he knows so many people. He knows so many animals. I loved the show where talked about contaminate food.
Glad the big fella made it! Hopefully he will live 80 more years.
That shell is so SHINY ✨🤩
Fascinating, incredible story. Thank you for sharing!
Oh I remember the video where this poor tortoise was so sick...

Aww thank you Ivan🤠
I swear that tortoise, was listening to you guys talking about him.lol
Amazing! So glad he survived❤️
Cool video Kenan. I can tell you loved it there. :)
The herb that stops internal bleeding (@6:50) is Yinnan Baiyao...
Excellent Video. Thanks I Know my Redfoots have a lot going on up there. They greet me every morning. I love it!
Glad to see that tortoise is doing good.
I'm in love with this tortoise
I Just want to hug HMS❤ and Sam❤
Sam is the man
Microscopes are invaluable! There's a reason we use them all day long at vet clinics. SOOO much can be learned from poop, blood, urine, skin scrapings, ear debris, etc!
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) terms, Yunnan Baiyao stops bleeding, disperses blood stasis, activates blood circulation.
Cool :)
How about Don Quai?
Yunnan Baiyao is a miracle powder! I would not be here today without it!
From Wikipedia on the efficacy of Yunnan Baiyao: "Oral administration was shown to produce negligible results in laboratory tests.[2] In vitro studies have suggested a theoretical benefit in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.[21] Some studies have found heavy metal levels below oral tolerance levels, however the significance of this finding is not known.[22] Multiple routes of drug administration results in varying degrees of efficacy.

Wow good species of animals
Omg. So beautiful.
How beautiful my goodness
Sams story kept me listening som i almost forgot the 👍

Got some nice turtle wax on the shell there ;)
mindcraftyD13 I was thinking the same thing lol he’s so shiny
The herb is called yunnan baiyao. It comes in powder for topical use and pills for internal use.
Kevin G it can be purchased online, or locally at Asian markets
my heart needed this
Amazing video!
Love this man
Good the see HMS tortoise is well . Dread to think what his meds cost
Enough he had a GoFundMe.
I can remember the Houston, Texas Zoo had Galapagos turtles and you could walk around them about 60 years ago.
That turtle out lived most my family! , its rare for someone in my family to live past 69.
8:04 “Yes, yes, yes, yes....yes”
You guys are great. I have a small female make her burrow in my yard and I am trying to plant for her. The hibiscus did not stand a chance. She got up on her back legs to reach upper leaves, is that normal?
What a beauty
Oh say can you see~~~jesus I always surprised KENAN's tortoise program!!
The herb is called Yunnan Baiyao
I wish I had a tortoise that big in my yard
So cool! I have a large tortoise on my channel but he’s only 100 pounds 😫
GREAT PEOPLE!!!!
Good husbandry is important. I wish I knew this to save a ornate Box Turtle.

I love Tortoise!
More videos that take place in Flodida Iguana please.
Good video
Yunan baiau I believe is the herb
I am obsessed with giant tortoises 😭😭😭
Great content
