Maybe, but with those huge flared goulars, like he said sometimes the males will kill a female by accident. It might be safer to keep a hyper agressive male with those traits out of the breeding pool, honestly, or you might end up with a ton of new little babies finding homes that will grow up to have that enlarged flared goular trait.
I really love hearing your little comments too matt x and how u touch them curiously. Like how u felt the front legs. U did it for me. Amazing kenan thanku
My sulcata has a area outside against the back of the house. There’s a little window above the ground through the foundation for the basement. It’s got a little ledge on it. Somehow after a few years of never paying attention to it, he busted the window out 😂 I thank god he didn’t go through it and fall to the hard basement floor. I feel horrible I let it happen but he was not harmed and I’m thankful.
Thanks for bringing the shell of Zeus out for this comparison. I notice that not only are the gular scutes of the tortoises of different lengths, but some tortoises like Lumpy also have the front segments of their plastron flared up. So I was wondering how that might act to expose even more of the gular scutes .... making them even more of a weapon...... What do you think ?
So you’re telling me the nice little Redfoot tortoise I got for my 9 year old son is a perfect choice! Cuz we were choosing between a sulcuta or a Redfoot. Cuz eventually I want a second tortoise, a female for my little “Taco”
"Six and a quarter!" Was disappointed that there wasnt any comments stating they thought it was average 😅😅😅 I have no idea what the average on tortoises.
Kenan, what are the gular made of? Can you cut them back like fingernails, or are they living bone, complete with blood supply and nerves? If they're just made of compressed hair like our fingernails, wouldn't the best option be to cut them back far enough that they can't hurt each other?
Bamboo is hollow. If cut bamboo is left outside during the winter up here the moisture that condenses inside freezes and cracks it as the ice expands. You may get 2 seasons from it. Ask a power-line tree clearing co. for some sapling birch/other hardwoods and cut them down to size, they’re impervious to northern winters.
We have a tortoise his name is Bubba he had escaped last year so we had lost him for about a week or so but we found luckily well a couple had found him and took him with them to another town but we got him back after they learned that he was just a lost tortoise so they gave him back to us.
Yeah i dont think we the OG's remember the fight with legend Zeus and ruthless little Lumpy who risen to be champion 🏆 🐢.. in fact you started the channel, way after that incident.. By that time Zeus was amready gone, hus shell was used a "Hide enclosure" cause why not for the Python who now, sadly she can't go awimming with kenan or move from her area unless its for vet care.. Years later, lumpy got sick 😷 and kenan had to basically restart his stomach on antibiotics to get ripe as rain again(god this turtle is tough lol) Sadly we lost Brutus not that long again. If you members/followers remember him, he was slightly larger than Lumpy as well(and but lumpy would back cause he someone was finally a match for him) I remember over a year or two ago a larger Sulcata make came into the kamp(well he was missing while the owners were out of f town) His name was called "Beast" or the Beast, he was way bigger than both brutus and Lumpy,if you guys havent seen that video. Go watch and like it,cause that guy was massssssive, luckly he was barcode with a stamp on him. But Kenan watched him until the owners returned... Mrs Kate Harkin commented in the video, oh dont go saying that this turtle is bigger or better looking at Kenan,and she called "oooh Brutus!! In that motherlly tone 😅 😁 he was definitely a favorite of kate's .. Big Mama shes the one that made a great .."Underground tunnel" almost into another neughtbors yard,these guys are Tankerous a heck, it doesnt take kong fir thrm to find some soft or semi soil to dig with it afterwards they hi hamalk day digging and burrows.. timmy is one of them, likes to dig but he rests abd skeeos most of the day,hes pretty much chill out .. 🤠 #KampKenan
I have two female sulcatas Made the mistake of letting them run the house last winter. Destroyed the house. Winters in Indianapolis are not fun with sulcatas
People get bones shaved for reason so I’m sure shaving the scoots down is possible but why bother. Lumpy is fine. Sometimes he just wants to be social. Kenan knows best.
Building an enclosure with a bamboo style fencing is probably not the best idea. If a Sulcata can see out, or in, then that's where they're going to try and go.
Question Kenan, why not give Lumpy 3 of the females so he's happy too? That way Hercules can keep his three ladies too. Thank you for the education on Sulcata's, still sad what happened to Zeus all those years ago.
@@elainembla that's something we can't answer nor do we know that's what the females are thinking. I wouldn't say bully either, males compete for mates it's something all if not most wild animals do.
Always something like this happens when you leave the camp. lol Sadly Mr Lumpy is just too big and aggressive to really put with anyone of his kind. Not to mention you really dont want to breed those traits into captivity as it would more than likely cause more harm down the road with more males with larger gular scutes and aggression to do more damage to others. Hercules is the type of male you'd want. A bit gentler with the ladies and not as aggressive at Mr Lumpy. Thanks for sharing the memory of Zeus as it has been a very long while and the new people probably have no idea about it.
Lumpy, the grumpy-faced killing machine! If he doesn't mow your lawn, he'll kill your other large male tortoises! (Even Slinky might not be safe if Lumpy were mad enough!) Sulcatas look like admirals among tortoises and turtles. Seriously, the turtles look more fun-loving than the tortoises. Marge does look like a character from a Pee-Wee Herman movie (RIP). The larger tortoises are the weirdest ones. As hyper as the Chinese box turtles are (Cowabunga dudes! Ninja turtles! Turtle power! Where's the pizza delivery guy?!?), they're nowhere near as bizarre to me as the calm-faced and utterly bizarre Aldabras and Galapagos tortoises. Oh, well. At least the Aldabras seem to like Kenan. The Galaps are on and off about the "like" part and sometimes look at Kenan as if they're re-evaluating their vegetarian status. Maybe human flesh tastes okay? Perhaps *Matt* will let them sample a finger or toe? The only thing for certain with the Galaps is that they want to joy-ride Kenan's truck...
It's just like last night I heard 2 loud crashing sounds that woke me up I blamed my cats yelled at them they ran out of my room the second time it happened my one female cat was sitting by my snake rack I got up this morning about 10 minutes after looking at the racks and 1 of the male ball python somehow squeezed out of the tub with a lid That when I tried squeezing it to see how much it bent open it's not even half an inch He got out and he moved maybe 6 inches 1 tub down lol he still hasnt moved ive just left him there to see just how much a ball python will move and its not much at all he has moved positions but has not left the spot between the 2 tubs lol so they love to be squeezed into a tight space and are not as active as everyone tries to make them out to be as he has been out for nearly 12 hours now he was out for 5 maybe 6 hours by the time i found him and figured out what was going on lol
Aw, poor Zeus. Amazing what tortoises can inflict on each other. That's right, women don't want cavemen either :) Interesting information. The female Sulcatas look feminine, cute ladies.
Kennan why dont you put a female in with lumpy so he can do his thing instead of trying to fight herculize. Unless he is agressive with all other turtles females included then i can understand your apprehemption.
All Lumpy wants is some tortoise love. You should let one of the females stay with Lumpy. I'm sure he'll be happy.
But SHE won't be...
Or at least swap them out with Hercules for a time peroid with the ladies😊
Hi Kenan Good Morning. Happy Tuesday. So sad that Lumpy killed Zeus. Maybe one day, you can put a female in with Lumpy. ❤ your tortoises. Cindy
Maybe, but with those huge flared goulars, like he said sometimes the males will kill a female by accident. It might be safer to keep a hyper agressive male with those traits out of the breeding pool, honestly, or you might end up with a ton of new little babies finding homes that will grow up to have that enlarged flared goular trait.
Couldn’t you somehow trim them down?
Love it that Matt is so interactive in these videos. ❤ And his questions plus observations mimic the thoughts we subs have too.
You gotta give lumpy an A for effort. All the animals are starting to recognise matt now. Thats so cool and shows their level of intelligence ❤
This is a good teaching video, I have a Sulcarta, she is a lot of work.
I really love hearing your little comments too matt x and how u touch them curiously. Like how u felt the front legs. U did it for me.
Amazing kenan thanku
What amazing, majestic animals they are. I love how much more involved Matt is with the animals and how much more knowledge he’s been soaking up.
🐢❤️🐢
Lumpy is the trouble maker of the kamp lolol… bless his heart xxx
I literally posted I wanted a video of Lumpy on the last video! Awesome! He’s the coolest tort with those flares.
Happy Tuesday everyone I hope you all have a fantastic week!!
You too!!
Give Lumpy his own girl❣️👍
Love lumpy he was one of the reasons I first started watching your channel many moons ago 💚🐢
People don't fully understand the strength that these guys have 😂 my biggest sulcata is named "Tank" for obvious reasons
My sulcata has a area outside against the back of the house. There’s a little window above the ground through the foundation for the basement. It’s got a little ledge on it. Somehow after a few years of never paying attention to it, he busted the window out 😂 I thank god he didn’t go through it and fall to the hard basement floor. I feel horrible I let it happen but he was not harmed and I’m thankful.
Poor lump just want some love.. poor baby...
Congratulations on 800k subs ken 🎉
Thanks for bringing the shell of Zeus out for this comparison.

So I was wondering how that might act to expose even more of the gular scutes .... making them even more of a weapon...... What do you think ?
it makes sense. anything that helps them to get even closer when they ram has got to be an advantage
Great video! Congrats on 800 k subscriber's!
So you’re telling me the nice little Redfoot tortoise I got for my 9 year old son is a perfect choice! Cuz we were choosing between a sulcuta or a Redfoot. Cuz eventually I want a second tortoise, a female for my little “Taco”
Go with the redfoot.
Congrats on 800k Subs!! Love getting to end my work day with a Kenan video
Those things on Lumpy are vicious, what a weapon.
"Six and a quarter!" Was disappointed that there wasnt any comments stating they thought it was average 😅😅😅 I have no idea what the average on tortoises.
I really think lumpy deserves to have a companion, he needs someone to live his best life with him.
Turtles and tortoises are awesome
Oh, the good old days when the Kamp was simpler. Just kidding, what an amazing sanctuary you have created Kenan!
Damn Lumpy made a journey. Well, he is ready for mating
yep
So beautiful those babies.😍
I often wonder could the gular ever grow up choking or cause injury and weather it could be trimmed if that ever happened ? 💯
We’ve never seen it be a problem at the Kamp
Man one of my favorite animals the tortoise 🐢 😁thank you for the knowledge 👍👍👍
Kenan, what are the gular made of? Can you cut them back like fingernails, or are they living bone, complete with blood supply and nerves? If they're just made of compressed hair like our fingernails, wouldn't the best option be to cut them back far enough that they can't hurt each other?
how about adding a female or two to lumpy's enclosure maybe that might help. its so awesome to see him doing so well .
Lumpy knew you weren’t home an took his butt straight over to the competition to fight lol
What kind of Bamboo is that guys? All around Kenans compound. I wonder if any bamboo would survive New Jersey climate. Finally got a decent yard.
Bamboo is hollow. If cut bamboo is left outside during the winter up here the moisture that condenses inside freezes and cracks it as the ice expands. You may get 2 seasons from it. Ask a power-line tree clearing co. for some sapling birch/other hardwoods and cut them down to size, they’re impervious to northern winters.
what is that one with the two fangs instead of the parrot like beak??
My male Sucata fence fights my lawn mower. He's a silly boy.
Is in breeding sulcatta tortoises a problem? From kauai
We have a tortoise his name is Bubba he had escaped last year so we had lost him for about a week or so but we found luckily well a couple had found him and took him with them to another town but we got him back after they learned that he was just a lost tortoise so they gave him back to us.
Lumpy is a grumpy fella.
Could you somehow trim them down?
He must have realized you were gone and dad is gone let’s have some fun!!!!
I've got a female sulcata named PeaPod that is the size of Hercules. I love ❤️ her but some days I'm convinced she's trying to try me!
Keep up the great work

congrats on 800k!
Can you surgically reduce the Gular projections? Not for all obviously, but only for the most aggressive males.
went to australia? hope we get come videos from it
Maybe a crazy thought, but could Lumpy get a trim job done at the vet?
Ever consider swapping Lumpy out with Hercules?
Hercules looked defensive when you measured his gulars. 😂 "Hey man! It's not the size of the gulars, it's how you use them!"
I saw that too 😅 hahaha
Hercules knew Exactly why dad had showed 😂 haha 😆
I have two female sulcatas Made the mistake of letting them run the house last winter. Destroyed the house. Winters in Indianapolis are not fun with sulcatas
Is there a way to prevent them from having babies? I would like a colony but wouldn’t want babies
Lumpy needs a lady in his life I’m sure lumpy will be extremely happy 🐢❤️
Lumpy is one tough tortoise lol 🐢🐢
awesome educational video. 👍🐢Turtle Power 🐢
Lumpy destroyer of ankles 😂
Lumpy❤
Seems lumpy is a bit sore from taking those Ls from Herculules last year.
Kenan would you also say that is why Redfoots and Cherryheads are more manageable because they don't fight? Or do they?
large enclosures with many females to keep them occupied seems to do the trick
People get bones shaved for reason so I’m sure shaving the scoots down is possible but why bother. Lumpy is fine. Sometimes he just wants to be social. Kenan knows best.
Glad nobody new got killed by an amorous Male Solcata tortoise
Building an enclosure with a bamboo style fencing is probably not the best idea. If a Sulcata can see out, or in, then that's where they're going to try and go.

That way Hercules can keep his three ladies too.
Thank you for the education on Sulcata's, still sad what happened to Zeus all those years ago.
Maybe none of the females want to be with a bully .?
@@elainembla that's something we can't answer nor do we know that's what the females are thinking. I wouldn't say bully either, males compete for mates it's something all if not most wild animals do.
You should put a couple ladies in Lumpy’s area.
He was scenting out those ladies. Give him some female company ❤❤❤❤
Hi Kenan
They can’t help dragging their knuckles 😅
Lumpy just wants a little company 😉
with friends like Lumpy....
Good ol Lumpy!!
Always something like this happens when you leave the camp. lol Sadly Mr Lumpy is just too big and aggressive to really put with anyone of his kind.

@Kamp Kenan lumpy just wants to get jiggy with it lol its my 30th birthday will you fund a streaming setup so I can start youtube please??? 🥺
Lmao Lumpy can’t do no wrong in my eyes 😂he sniffed some girls and then saw competition doing what most men do
lumpy after the whole greek pantheon
Maybe you need a no drama llama to keep things chill!!!
Today's word of the Day: Goulars 🐢
Give Lumpy a GIRL.HE DESERVES IT
Lumpy, the grumpy-faced killing machine!
If he doesn't mow your lawn, he'll kill your other large male tortoises!
(Even Slinky might not be safe if Lumpy were mad enough!)
Sulcatas look like admirals among tortoises and turtles.

Maybe switch the males out for a season to let my boy lumpy blow off some steam 😂
Aren’t they “pack” animals? Poor guy …smart guy too!!
I cant wait until my dude is that big
How many females do you have? Can you split the females? Give him three of the girls 😂
Lumpy knew you weren't around and to take advantage of the situation. LOL. Sneaky jerk.
Awe
Tou say you have 6 females put 3 to each male both boys be happy
We're all such typical males, measuring as far back as possible! 😅
Awesome
👍👍👍👍👍👍
👍👍👍❤❤❤🐢🐢🐢
🐢🐢💚💚
why not 2 females with Lumpy let him also have a bit of fun and he is back as you said
Never measure another man on camera and always add an inch!
*>GASP

Take Lumpy to Vegas
Gambling is an addiction,
*no bueno.*
4.5 is still enough to get the job done...
Is that what “she said?”
_Talk about low expectations_
Charge Lumpy with murder.
Grind them down
theyve got those big horns on their fronts to bash other torts .. things can break your ankles no problem.
💜💚😍😍😍💚💜
Give him some females to make him happy
Lumpys a pain in the butt lol
yes he is
Kennan why dont you put a female in with lumpy so he can do his thing instead of trying to fight herculize. Unless he is agressive with all other turtles females included then i can understand your apprehemption.
