Let's create a new generation of educated reptile keepers & animal enthusiasts by spreading the love!
Sam's passion for these animals is infectious! I would have watched this if it was 2 hours long!
Me too
Thanks so much, Brenda!
Same!!
Love that you show us so much of your life i hope your big girl is doing well I felt your pain on that last episode such amazing animals
Thank you Thomas!
There's something about watching tortoises that makes me profoundly happy, ever since I was a little kid. I'll get one eventually, maybe not a giant one though haha.
Mine help with my mental health they get me out of bed and outside as I have read of leaving home. So relaxing to watch x
@@dianejohnson6777 Oh I bet! Feeling the same way about my dogs, but I guess they aren't as relaxing haha
Good morning everyone. I have three Sulcattas. And I love every minute of watching them grow, as they all have their own personalities. 🐢🐢🐢
🤠
Same here, instead i have Burmese stars.
Yes! I have 2 but my husband was misled when he surprised me with em... he was told they were redfoots... certainly sulcatas but I love them and thankfully we have the means to make the accommodations needed when you live in Michigan
I got one. I had another it was stolen.
I have to watch my boy Sulcatta as he keeps leaving out of the gate going to the front sun tanning under the tree. 😌🐢🐢🐢
I giggled watching 204 swimming in the air.. they are cute lil dudes.. they drink water out of their nose, learn something new everyday, and that poop flowing out was su h an added bonus too. Bernie sure is a vocal dude.
I’m here for as much of Sam’s as he is willing to share!
Absolutely love whenever you visit Sam, seeing all his bigger tortoises so chilled and happy is fantastic It would be so good to see another Aldabra tortoise at that Kamp 🤞🏻🤞🏻
I think Sam is my favourite of all the people you visit. He is very informative, and in a way that you just want to listen to him all day long.
Omg I just dream about having the money and the land to buy 5-6 of the 4 inchers and raise them till I'm old and gray with a big herd of Aldabras running around...lol OMG hopefully one day!!!!!
Sam really has the insight and love to be raising tortoises. Such an amazing animal that needs to be escorted through time if not in the wild.
What an amazing collection Sam has! They’re beautiful, majestic animals and you can see and hear the pride he has in them. Thank you so much, Kenan, for taking us on this incredible journey. It was fantastic!🐢❤️🐢
Once you go tortoise you never go back, they have the most amazing little personalities
You also never go back because they live longer than you do. Tortoises got staying power.
@@lexslate2476 Yep. Even the little Greek Goldens live to about 120.
This guy is a wealth of knowledge. I'd love to spend a day listening to him.
Loved the opportunity to see the babies, juveniles and adults. Great to see people taking good care of these magnificent creatures.
The sounds they make are incredible. I didn't know they can roar! Now I wish I could see one in person.
I have a one year old horsefield and learning so much from you. Never stop learning
I love that so many of your friends have a love for animals like you. I love the Aldabra tortoise. I do prefer the the nice round shell. Looks smoother and uniform. I do like the double scoots. Very distinct and cool to be different.
That Galop sounds like a croc.. amazing they are.
What a nice networking opportunity with the amazing people who care for these great fellas
I'm fairly new to the world of Tortoises and turtles but it just amazes me how beautiful and intelligent they are. I'm drawn to their eyes and there is something about them, that melts my heart.🥰💜. I could watch videos like these for hours !!! At least 15 of my playlist videos, are of turtles and Tortoises ; especially when they're eating and you hear the crunching of them enjoying their food.❤
My red eared sliders loved their neck scratches too (they are now in an amazing enclosure in a zoo). That's something about turtles/tortoises many people don't know, how "cuddly" they are. :)
7:55 This is why I occasionally let my Tortoise roam outside of his enclosure (back in the day, nowadays I can keep him outside for most of the day). I think it's important that they also get to walk around on even terrain and harder terrain rather than the soft coco coir/whatever
I love how they congregate they’re so social and personable
I appreciate the comments about the imperfect and unique scute patterns. The redfoot you sent me has an extra scute and it’s my absolute favorite thing about him.
I’ve always wondered what it would be like to have a Giant turtle as a pet and I think you answered every question. Great video!
Beautiful set up for the tortoises, very innovative, gorgeous tortoises too, thanks!!
Had such a HUGE smile on my face while watching this whole episode.
Me too!!!
Really enjoyed learning about these gentle giants. Thank you for bringing us along with you.
Always enjoy when we visit to Sam's place with Kenan. Such an amazing facility!
I love Sam I got my first rhino iguana from him over a year ago. Real nice guy he helped me find a real nice male. Takes time to help find what you're looking for.
Funny enough I watch Sam on Instagram and fell in love with 223. I’m actually moving to Dover (east of Tampa) next month for work. This video couldn’t have been timed any better! I’m getting an Aldabra so this is amazing content from the man who wrote the book on Aldabra!
Love seeing the beautiful tortoises. Love your site. Absolutely brilliant 👏
Love seeing Sam he's looking well the wealth of knowledge is ridiculous, as some other commentors have mentioned I could watch 1-2-3 hours with Sam and Kenan talking about tort husbandry
Yes !!! I love when he visits Sam's place , it's always a super episode . And there is no such thing as "to long" when it comes to Kamp Kenan
I’m in heaven in this video so many gorgeous Aldabra’s running around I’m in love ❤️❤️❤️
Sam is legit. He loves his big torts and iguanas. Great responsible breeder.
The pressure of picking out somebody else's tortoise 🐢 lol
😝
Pros geeking with pros.. gotta love it!
to old now and sold property after 22 years , would have loved to have met Kenan back then ( or someone like him with his knowledge !)in stead or my coy ponds i for sure would have vested some of the property and time to theses amazing creatures!
thasks again my friend ! you make me so jealous ....but i live vicariously threw you and your friends !
Always great to see Sam and the Aldabs and Galaps.
These Torts are amazing!! Wish I lived in a warmer climate where I could provide a great home for one but, Michigan just isn’t that place..That is also why I enjoy your videos so much..I still get to observe all these animals I can’t keep myself…
I was thinking the same but im in the u.p
What an amazing video! Sam is doing great things! This also makes me think and appreciate how creative Kenan can get when he creates his animals enclosures, so naturalistic & unique. Not many like Kenan’s ❤️🤙🏽🤙🏽
Hi Kenan! Thanks for taking us to Sam’s place. He has such an impressive amount of wisdom when it comes to the tortoises and iguanas! So sorry he has to get rid of so many iguanas though ❤️🩹. I love seeing them from babies to adults! Such majestic animals!🐢
ALWAYS LOVE A VISIT TO SAM'S PLACE!!!
Soooooo enjoying this video and would adore seeing more videos with Sam. Seeing two people so committed to treating these majestic animals with such care and respect makes me so HAPPY 😊
Such beautiful creatures. ❤ what an amazing facility
It really is!
Sam you have lost weight and that's great to see, you look and sound more energetic now! Huge fan!
I love this video! please make videos with Sam as often as possible!
Awesome video. Such gentle giants, so loveable!
1st, I hope Darwin is better. I have never seen Sam before. Now I’m in love with the Aldabra’s. My word they are cute. Thanks for the trip to Sam’s place. Can’t wait for you to give the baby to Fred.
I was waiting for you to take one home for yourself ❤❤❤🇦🇺
Hey .. everyone Moniee-Mon, is listening thanks for the info and vedios. Keep doing what'cha do best God bless you 😇🙏🙌❤💖
I have tortoise envy. I've got 15. Would love a aldabra. Unfortunately don't have the funds for one. I love my tortoises they definitely help me with my mental health which is severe and I don't leave home but these get me out of bed and into the garden. Love your work kenan and your passion. I wish I was able to have a tortoise rescue. I've got 1 sulcata, 6 leopard babies, and 8 adult redfoots. Indian star maybe next. Would love to see more tortoise videos on you tube. Keep up the good work. Luv ya from London uk
I could have spent hours watching Sam walk you around the farm
Thanks to Nostradamus Aldabras are my fave too Kenan
Yes please get another Aldabra hehe :))
This was so interesting, loved it !
Sam’s place is amazing. That guy has such a wealth of knowledge! Thanks for sharing.
Such an amazing episode i always love when you go to Sam's place it is like a wonderland but I definitely support you adding another little one to the collection would love an update on that albino Solcata you got last year unless thay are nolonger with you for whatever reason im sorry to bring it up
Great video! So informative. I really enjoyed watching you scratch them.
Glad you enjoyed!
I’m so in love. I’ve not ever seen Sam. Yup, I now want an Aldabra. Gorgeous.
I’ve learned so much from you before getting my sulcata. Thank you! This video was awesome!
Sam is the best !! If you guys want a tortoise 100% buy from Sam!
Sorry i didn't watch any ads this time i just couldn't wait to get back to listening to Sam educate us on these beautiful tortoises so cool.
Always fun to visit with Sam. Thanks Kenan!!
These have always been a dream pet of mine but I refuse to get one until I have the proper knowledge space and funds to give them the absolute best life possible amazing animals thanks for this
