      @@brooklynhead131 perhaps he's been asked to come help deal with the animals and assist the family...which requires all his attention meaning that he has had no option but to use up all his pre-recorded stuff?
      He's likely working on something for sure...although, he seems the kinda guy who'd rather work with Fred's family and do it properly than just blurt something out.
      His vids are likely weeks behind current day.
      Also, as Chandler is Fred's grandson...perhaps, Ken's waiting for Chandler to put something out first...again, out of respect to the family?

    What a beautiful center for tortoises. Each different tortoise species has it's own habitat. The hinge back tortoise was amazing, how it can completely close it's shell as a protection. Some of them like a dry area, and some a little wet. Most are captive breed, none from the wild. Cindy

    I kiss his face. He presses his snout into my cheek because he ain’t got no lips. He’s so smart. He loves us. We spent 3 months together all day most days. He likes naps. We use both sunlight and UV bulbs. I bought him when I was on leave for work…Just started back and he eats breakfast when we do.
