Kenan I love that you're pointing out the benefits of the leaves and needles falling into the water!!! We use leaf litter and drift wood in aquariums because as they break down they leave tannins in the water, giving it that tea look. Tannins are amazing for many purposes, but some of the best among them are anti oxidant, anti microbial, anti fungal, anti bacterial properties! Much like the mud with snapping turtle and other turtle species shells, that natural liter has countless benefits that we don't realize help these animals in captivity! Also algae in the water bowl to an extant can be beneficial, it helps to break down nitrates & ammonia along with other pollutants. Some species of Iguana will scrape algae off of rocks in the wild for food, so could be a free treat for them in your setups too!! Thank you for all the amazing work you do man, and I hope this fish/aquatic nerdgasm helps with something!
My sister has bought her kids a Hermann's Tortoise for Christmas. It's a complete surprise for them and they're picking it up on Christmas eve. I cannot wait to see their faces when they see it - I haven't been this excited for Christmas eve since I was a kid!
Hello Kamp Kenan family, I just wanted too say Kenan I had been watching a lot of other animal channels and I have too say your videos are truely about what you always say" Educational and Conservation! U are not getting tied up with the whole let's breeding for the best colours.. Kenan please stay the way U are as I thoroughly love your whole videos good the bad the upsetting the sad etc love your family interacting in the videos! Kate you are amazing woman and wife... U try so hard touching or even being near the reptiles.. U have come along way in the time I have been watching and U married him.. so well done Kate!. The kids are awesome as well. Love your videos thank Kenan family for all what U do for the animals but what U all do for us people ( family) watching U helps us too in soooo many ways .. Thank You I only wish I could have one of yr tortoises but I am in Australian there's the brakes but I feel like I am at your place when I watch yr videos, so that helps me.. Keep True To The Animals And Stay True To Your Statements! Love to all, Peace to all!
I adore the way you love all of your animals. You can just see how happy they are to be around you. My fave has to be when you were petting Nostradamas. I've seen the feeding tours and it never gets old. You definitely never run out of chores. That was a cool in depth tour after the rains. Your passion for these awesome reptiles keeps me coming back. Thank you!
You are an awesome reptile keeper. I have been a reptile lover since about 10 years old. Keep up the great work breeding and taking care of your animals.
Hi Kenan I enjoy the your tour to check out on how all your reptiles are doing. They are all ok, just hungry. I bet the turtles enjoy the extra water, and mud. Cindy
few days ago we got four to six inches of rain here in Broward County. It is very important if you have an outdoor enclosure to have drainage. Baby iguanas and box turtles can drown if there is deep standing water. You have to plan for mother nature's surprises !
@Kamp Kenan, That ficus probably could do with some trimming, to concentrate its growth closer to the trunk so it focuses on those tendrils that you like.
I've been there in maui, it's in Lahaina the tree is well over 100 years old and the Hawaiians use to put Mason jars full of water and tie theme to the aerial roots to train the tree I'm dropped the roots where they wanted. lahaina use to be the capital of Hawaii beautiful place to visit for sure
Hi sweetheart I was just wondering how old your biggest tortoises are I love your property it's absolutely gorgeous the animals are so blessed to have somebody like you take care of them thank you so much for sharing
Wow!! Kamp kenan is a dream place for me....its what I imagine heaven looks like!! Seriously you have made an amazing beautiful place and you should be so proud......thank you so much for sharing with us...EXCELLENT video. Have a wonderful day! If u need a live in helper I can be there tomorrow...I'm not joking...😁
Your Aldabra is so beautiful, might be a dream pet for me in 20 years when I have the space for such an amazing animal and people to care for it when it inevitably outlives me.
The reasons why I love & subscribe your channel is because your kamp, the entire animal that you have, the plants and it's look like a big realistic terrarium. Awesome job man! Respect from Indonesian fans.
I recently read, in a pollinator group, that bees prefer puddles to clean-water bowls of water (& marbles). It was said the puddles are mineral rich and may include vitamins and other stuff they need. So, I suspect your beliefs are valid.
I agree on the tannin in the water it known to be beneficial for fish and builds up their immune system and for the algue it cant harm them its a plant if anything it makes the water better by increasing the oxygen levels in it but not all algue is good! Love your videos keep up the good work
Kenan, Although I live up north, I have some connections with people down in Florida . Let us know if you need anything at anytime. God bless your heart man. From your #1 fan.
What about putting some kind of netting or screen right there at the base of the rocks?? It will still filter through but catch the leaves? Idk just a thought. You're ALOT better at this than I am but have a great day! They all certainly look happy and healthy! Enjoy
I can just sit here and watch you all day. Well, actually I’ve started watching your videos from the beginning all over again!! More people need to subscribe, I don’t know why they haven’t....anyways, great video and information Kenan❤️🐢
Speaking of sterile environments, I read about an unscientific study about kids and dogs. It said homes with dogs and young kids - the kids have less allergies later in life because when they were young they came in constant contact with dogs who had all sorts of germs, and the more contact helped their immune system get stronger.
In another unscientific study, homes with kids in houses where people smoke cigarettes- the kids are less likely to get lung cancer and less likely to want to smoke because when they were young they came in constant contact with cigarette smoke which have nicotine in them and it helped there immune system be stronger.
Ants are no joke ! Even the little black ones. I had a pet Squirrel for 14 years before it got sick and died. He slept in my room in a cage . One day I'm looking at his cage and I see a piece of corn walking out of his cage to the floor then down my heating vent. I thought I was seeing stuff.😳 So I got down on the carpet to see what was going on and I seen a small trail of black ants . Then all the sudden I feel this incredible burning on my legs. I look down and about twenty ants are biting me ! Talk about jumping up and freaking out ! I ran down the stair grabbed my vacuum and sucked what I could find up ! Then moved the cage and sprayed . I will never forget it because I thought they didn't bite. Boy ! Did my legs itch ! So I hope they aren't biting him.
Im a tad bit jealous of your beautiful sanctuary.. lol I’m playing.. you have a home and yard and animals you should be super proud of!!! Your hard work is so admirable 😁🐢❤️
Hey 👋🏾 KENAN happy Sunday I’m so happy for you your dream is coming along everything looks so beautiful thanks again for sharing your knowledge I always look forward to hanging out with you lol luv your videos ❤️
I love cichlids!! Bumblebees were always my favorite along with the electric blues! I also love the South American cichlids called Bolivian Rams! They are beautiful! My all time favorite.
Those aldabras make my sulcata look like a red ered slider def my favorite animal ever so beautiful. There are some at this petstore on Hillsborough 7,000 im saving for one
Man sorry that happened brother but on a positive side you have a larger area now for you and the animals to swim in!! Thanks for keeping me going! My goal is 1000 by new year!!
Yo you should put some like mesh over the part where the leaves block up the filter then you could have it on hooks or something then just take it off as all the leaves will be on it then you can just shake it off and all the leaves are out
Kenan are you going to have any elongateds anytime soon? I asked my grandgirls if I could get a tortoise and I got a resounding YES. I explained that it would be theirs because it's gonna outlive me. They preferred the tortoise to a parrot as well. I'm tickled pink.
To the theory you have on the water i think your correct i put in sticks to my fish tanks and they release tanins i like to do it cus i believe it enriches them even if they are tank raised
What a beautiful piece of property and lovely animals. The way you talk to your youtube audience is so friendly and chill. I love it!

The animals are amazing, but all the plants are to die for!!. 😍😍😍
My sister has bought her kids a Hermann's Tortoise for Christmas. It's a complete surprise for them and they're picking it up on Christmas eve. I cannot wait to see their faces when they see it - I haven't been this excited for Christmas eve since I was a kid!

I love when you do the walkthroughs of the Kamp. So appreciate of Scotty Cranmer for bringing me to your channel. Two of the best guys on UA-cam.
It always makes me laugh when the tortoises see you and you get the slowest storming of the armored troops.
BuJu Blades “Daddy!”
BuJu Blades
I was thinking the same thing! Like puppies, but slower.
I like to call it "returning to the mothership" 😂
theyre all saying in unison “hi dad”
The gurguling is a sound from Heaven lol things are working Love it.
I adore the way you love all of your animals. You can just see how happy they are to be around you. My fave has to be when you were petting Nostradamas. I've seen the feeding tours and it never gets old. You definitely never run out of chores.

I never get tired of these walks around Kamp!!!! Always my fav 👌 all the landscaping is looking so good!!!! Wish it was my yard 🙏🏼🙏🏼
A ton of rain during the dry season seems like a blessing
Thirty minutes of Kamp Kenan? Hell yeah!
Lola & Guapo nods = my favorite
few days ago we got four to six inches of rain here in Broward County. It is very important if you have an outdoor enclosure to have drainage. Baby iguanas and box turtles can drown if there is deep standing water. You have to plan for mother nature's surprises !
so cute when gwapo nods his head like "what up"🥰
Those tortoises honestly know your voice and come running from where ever. Love it! ❤
Don’t know how I started watching. Not overly fond of lizards but your enthusiasm is catching. Thanks for sharing. 🤗 love the habitats.
Always so fun to follow you around🐢🦎
Can you do a video where you go over the origins of how you got your animals and their backstories? It would be very interesting to see.
The Kamp is looking better than ever. Thank you for the tour of your little piece of heaven. 👍
i love how lola looks to be smerking when you lift her up.

THE LIZARDS ARE BAD ASS
@Kamp Kenan, That ficus probably could do with some trimming, to concentrate its growth closer to the trunk so it focuses on those tendrils that you like.
Kenan you are a complete boss. I would never have the balls to grab a reptile like that
Thank you for your sulcata videos. My son wants one and he has watched your video on sulcata tortoises I think 10 times. HE IS SIX!!
I've been there in maui, it's in Lahaina the tree is well over 100 years old and the Hawaiians use to put Mason jars full of water and tie theme to the aerial roots to train the tree I'm dropped the roots where they wanted. lahaina use to be the capital of Hawaii beautiful place to visit for sure
So glad I found you threw You Tube.
Looks quite awesome when flooded with that marsh look
Lola and Guapo are my favorite.
Aquascape ponds looking great!
Haha! Just posted a IG video on front ponds...then saw this message! They are amazing!

Amazing sanctuary the attention to detail is just awesome great video content!
You should offer a t-shirt with Slinky and one with Guapo and Lola on it. Kamp Kenan mascots!
Your Aldabra is so beautiful, might be a dream pet for me in 20 years when I have the space for such an amazing animal and people to care for it when it inevitably outlives me.
lola and gwapo are like an old married couple

Oh no hope the animals are all ok x
You should maybe get the mould in the top of that enclosed fixed
Kenan, Although I live up north, I have some connections with people down in Florida . Let us know if you need anything at anytime. God bless your heart man. From your #1 fan.
Thanks mate:) if you know anybody getting rid of chain link that would be a help:) need it for the Croc enclosires
I just love Kamp walkabouts with ya Kenan. Thanks for taking us along. :)
What about putting some kind of netting or screen right there at the base of the rocks?? It will still filter through but catch the leaves? Idk just a thought. You're ALOT better at this than I am but have a great day! They all certainly look happy and healthy! Enjoy
Kenan, how about a small screen to keep bamboo leave out of pump. Wouldn't have to move rock and reach in. Just scrape away. Just an idea.
Aww poor Hercules all by his self... he needs some friends!
The property looks great after the hurricane cleanup. Great job. 👍❤️
The tortoise Nostradamus has the most perfect shell.
And cutest face it's my favorite!!!
Guapo and Lola, the real life bobble heads 😂💖
I can just sit here and watch you all day. Well, actually I’ve started watching your videos from the beginning all over again!! More people need to subscribe, I don’t know why they haven’t....anyways, great video and information Kenan❤️🐢
At least your new pond has a lot of water now probably

I had a pet Squirrel for 14 years before it got sick and died.
He slept in my room in a cage . One day I'm looking at his cage and I see a piece of corn walking out of his cage to the floor then down my heating vent.
I thought I was seeing stuff.😳
So I got down on the carpet to see what was going on and I seen a small trail of black ants .
Then all the sudden I feel this incredible burning on my legs.
I look down and about twenty ants are biting me !
Talk about jumping up and freaking out !
I ran down the stair grabbed my vacuum and sucked what I could find up !
Then moved the cage and sprayed .
I will never forget it because I thought they didn't bite. Boy !
Did my legs itch !
So I hope they aren't biting him.
@Vada Minot 😆 I can laugh now ...
Im a tad bit jealous of your beautiful sanctuary.. lol I’m playing.. you have a home and yard and animals you should be super proud of!!! Your hard work is so admirable 😁🐢❤️

Great video
@26:55 Female version of Socrates is Socratia :)
Things get dusty
Plants get crusty
Man gets musty
Yo you should put some like mesh over the part where the leaves block up the filter then you could have it on hooks or something then just take it off as all the leaves will be on it then you can just shake it off and all the leaves are out
C and c tortoises in Victoria, BC have hatched Burmese star tortoises, if you'd ever consider raising some fyi.
DOPE BACKGROUND MUSIC AT THE INTRO
You must be new xD it keeps getting better welcome.
Steven Lio ITS BEEN THREE YEARS OR SO . BUTTERCUP WAS MY FIRST VID YEARS AGO
Kenan are you going to have any elongateds anytime soon? I asked my grandgirls if I could get a tortoise and I got a resounding YES. I explained that it would be theirs because it's gonna outlive me. They preferred the tortoise to a parrot as well. I'm tickled pink.
Nice video
Those water and food dishes need a good scrubbing 🧽 .... must have rained alot
Everytime you say 'Red Foots', I think of the LOTR and always imagine the tortoises correcting you with 'it's Red Feet!'.
I commented this same thing on like 100 of his other Red foot videos 😂😂 Every time man, every time 😂😂
To the theory you have on the water i think your correct i put in sticks to my fish tanks and they release tanins i like to do it cus i believe it enriches them even if they are tank raised
I’ve always wanted a baby tortoise 🐢
Why dont u use chest mounted camera or head mounted one? So u can use both of ur hands when doing stuff around the sanctuary..
He does sometimes.
Hahaha, total old man moment in this video Kenan. Just walking around your garden yelling "you hear that gurgle?!" 😂😂
march of the tortoises is always a swell sight!
Are you ever worried about people stealing your reptiles
