I love that he’s encouraging everyone to reuse materials. Budget friendly and good for the environment 👍🏻 Thanks for everything Kenan!
that kitty wants your love
You should get a deal on Animal Planet or Nat Geo Wild mate
Agreed!

It would ruin the content... The retarded editing that is required by American TV and doing material that is forced upon you would ruin this awesome show. It's perfect the way it is, he just needs to get paid more for it.
He tried, they said naaa & started another show with his idea. Not sure what show or which network but it was in one of his videos
I really respect and admire your keeping Kenan. Also glad you strongly highlight it in your videos unlike others.
Setting a good example.
I love watching your vids before bed! So informative and relaxing. Thank you for always being generous with your knowledge!
Also, if Sulcata's are motivated and get get a clear footing, they will climb! My vegetable garden was my 110 lb sulcata's motivation
lol did he just say sulcatas can't climb
tell that to my sulcata
+William S. yeah haha my Rockadoo is almost 150 pounds and he can climb a bit....
My "little guy" can easily clear anything 12" or less. When they want out, they find a way.
William S. send your sulcata tortoise to a mountaineering institute
Thank you for all the all the helpful tips. I've had my Russian tortoise for two weeks and I'm trying to learn everything about tortoises. Also love you orange fur baby.
That satisfied feeling when he finally pets that adorable, sweetiepie cat!
Right? Lolololol. I was ready to fly to Florida and pet Max myself
We have our Sulcata tortoise. I am looking around ideas building an outside encloser. Thank you for the great ideas. I know you do not think Washington State is not a good area to raise them. We love him and will do anything for him. By the way his name is Dexter. You are great and will be watching your videos. My first time raising a tortoise he really a joy to have. He now is nine years old and doing great have a family member that is a vet so he really healthy guy and he is weights 50 lbs. Thank you for all your shared information.
Gah pet the cat! It's driving me crazy!!!! lol
lol i was thinking the same
Thank goodness! lol
I was just waiting for him to pet the cat and I would just respond to your comment
Great advice; there's a young male Sulcata at a shelter I wish I could rescue, but I won't be able to accommodate it's need for space or outdoor weather conditions.
Wow! I really like your videos. This is by far the best advice for great reptile habitats!
Awesome video! I wish up here in canada we could use pens like this. Would you be able to share what plants and stuff are growing in the Mediterranean tortoises, hermanns, stars etc.
Hi Kenyan I'm from the UK 🇬🇧 And I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your thoroughly enjoyable videos we're currently experiencing an heatwave over here and my Mediterranean spur thighed tortoises which I've had 41 years have been loving it, is never an easy feat looking after them with the normal rapid fluctuations in temperature, but I always do my best, they hibernate from usually November to March, Somthing I learned years ago was never to use Hay as bedding as mould spors can develop, I look forward to watching your next videos and learning new stuff, Keep up the good work.
Thanks for Uploading! Planning for my Sulcata Tortoises future...also, Nice Hat!
Great ideas. Thank you sir!
I love all your videos, they are just so interesting, plz can you make a video of you running and maintaining your park, feeding all the tortoises and other reptiles. and just generally filming the tortoises doing their daily thing. I have two Hermann tortoises as I live in the u.k, they have so much fun running around our big garden. :D
This channel just gets better and better...Thanks for another awesome video buddy.
Those enclosures are really nice and look cool to.Have fun with the galops growth. : )
4:50 what a unique looking and affectionate tortoise
Love ❤️ your turtles 🐢 l just love ❤️ them and l enjoy 😊 your videos saw you on brains videos on how to trim there pick l could tell you love ❤️ them all the best to you always
Is it possible to buy galapagos tortoises? And would SoCal be a good place to have an outdoor enclosure for a sulcata?
Thanks for another great episode Kenan! Maybe a future episode could be about hermmans tortoises.
When I lived in Ohio out in the southern farmland, box turtles would migrate through my yard every year. I would snag a few of them for a few weeks, keep them corralled in my yard in a small area and then after a week or three I'd open it up and they would eventually leave.I would spoil them and feed them while they were there.
Neaghberhood pages can be fun too. One time someone dumped out a couch. Someone found it and took a picture. Posted it and let the run begin! After a lot of photos someone set it on fire... It was kinda in a area that's elevated from a road by the neaghberhood entrance....
Love tortoises, keep up the good work!
you are the greatest! bravo!
My mom struggles with her Sulcatas 😂 so funny that they’re always naked “bulldozer” because it’s perfect! On the occasion that they’ve been loose with the Russians, the little Russian tortoises try to show them their open beaks and chase the female around
~ Always informative!
Excellent episode!
great episode , good wrok on the enclosures
hey kenan. for the stars, if they go indoor, how you prepare the water for them to drink and soak?
Great energy
30s bru here in Colorado that's a nice night you got it easy
woooow man gotta love the new intro!!
Hi Kenan I was wondering how much do the tortoises cost?
thx kenan really helpful, I got a sulcata and have a very big backyard but if it gets too big my family has a farm so all I was wondering what kind of plants you plant for them
Also when do you move your baby sulcata outside because I got one last weekend at repticon Houston
Oh ok thx really helpful
+Kamp Kenan Kenan would a 20 X 30 backyard be adequate for one sulcata tortoise
+Kamp Kenan Kenan would a 20 X 30 backyard be adequate for one sulcata tortoise
Luis Reyes I have two 40lb sulcata I'm 25x 50 and they're doing well.
I love to reclaim unwanted material. I hate to see it go into the land fill.just the other day I made an outdoor painted turtle inclosure from material I got out of a dumpster from a new store opening. I love ur channel and the education you provide. Thank you for all you do.
I know I know ... Max is going no where until he gets a good pet. Oh , the video is great too. So much great info. I love how he speaks about recycling materials, Very cost effective!
Into the 30's I wish we had that problem in southern Missouri lol.
Would the small pen you've got their barn in be enough space for a few large tortoises? I'm interested in them, but that's about all the space I have.
Hello,
i have a specific question abaout the enclosure. Because you did everything with foam. what about the ventilation? fresh air?
i asl because i am planning a new sulcata enclosure.
respect and regards.
I have a 170 pound Sulcata that I'm inheriting soon. I'm in Phoenix, I have purchased a basking heat lamp and thermostat. I'm wondering if I build out of recycled concrete for the walls (I just got some from a neighbor tearing up a driveway), do the spray foam insulation (did you do that yourself?) and then maybe do a roof out of wood and metal roofing material if you think that is a good plan? I only want to build an enclosure once, so I'm also wondering if 4'x5' is big enough? She is 15 and my backyard is 2700 sq ft.
Hello! I have a question...I have Greek Tortoises (Testudo hermanni), still very young. I'm building their outdoor space. I'd like to know how do you "clean" water in jungle gym? I have a small pool in their indoor terrarium but I change water every day, because it gets very dirty very soon. Thank you for your answer! Greetings from Slovenia!
+Kamp Kenan Hi Kenan, I am making an outdoor enclosure for my Russian tortoise, but I don`t have much space to work with. Do you have any advice/ suggestions? I live in Ohio and the weather can get pretty unpredictable sometimes so my major concern was with making a place for shade like you had with the barn, but since I don`t have a lot of space I don`t know what to "make" as shelter. I only have one Russian tortoise right now, but will be getting another soon. So the shelter doesn`t have to be that big. Thanks a ton.
Is there any other outdoor enclosure ideas for my two star tortoises
Thank you I got my new tortise you are a big insperation
I love this 💗🐢 just posted a DIY temp small tortoise bin cage on my channel today 💗 gonna be making an outdoor one soon so thank you for the tips 💗👍🏻
That outro slaps.
What is the best type of tortoise for starters? Live in mid-Atlantic area.
i live in the uk , i have two sulcata tortoise i am building an enclosure and was thinking of using poly carbonate sheets for the frunt side and the roof ,,, the roof is a removable,, so they can still wonder on a dull day and still be warm would this be ok
I live in the uk, can I keep my tortoise in a shed, or is it best to keep him inside?
Great video
hey i live up north and im planning on getting a sulcata tortoise and i have a 20 acres of land any tips for me on keeping my tortoise warm happy and healthy during the colder and winter months?
He's got a bow on his hat
i have 2 Russian tortoises and want an outdoor enclosure only for use every once and a while, any tips on what to use or any dimensions?
I have a field here in UK. I hope to get a Sulcata tortoise locally, do you think he/she will be okay in the spring, autumn and winter in either my garage or heated shed, during these cold months and outside during the sunny days and summer months? Or will it be okay outside if it's around 15 degrees Celsius, I don't know what that is in Fahrenheit?
Nice episode Kenan!
2:04 what tortoise is that? Or is it some strange breed of lizard
cat is so cute
I've actually asked a question about diet before, I'm actually growing my tortoises food but of course it takes time for things to grow, what grocery store or outdoor options would you suggest in the meantime?
I live in Texas and we have a huge cactus in our backyard and of course it grows fruit and we have dandelions popping up but I don't think that's enough variety what should I do?
i have two russian tortoise
Ok this is the first video I've watched of you and I love reptiles to I have a turtle of my own and Im going to leave a like and I'm going to subscribe
Καταπληκτικό!!!
Can I use a little stock tank for red foot tortoises? Can I also just slap a heater on it so it is warm inside when it is cold outside in spring and summer nights?
Best channel ever!
Your amazing.love you and all your babies..
How do u give ur sulcatas water ? A bowl , fruit ?
Kenyan, what would you recommend for an outdoor setup for a juvenile sulcata in my backyard in Georgia
Serial Dabber 3 years later wondering the same thing lol
I have a 1 yr old sulcata and she has started digging a burrow and im worried about it caving in on her or an animal getting her any tips
Great video Kenan. Keep it up.
i live in Long island NY and my tortoise Larry is getting big, yet still small compared to others. am i just supposed to keep creating new spots for my tortoise home? and if so what should i use? maybe you can make a video about an indoor enclosure or just reply. Thank you!
Hey I live in Long Island too. I recommend building a enclosure that is big enough to house your tortoise when it's full grown. This way you won't have to worry about building and deconstructing multiple enclosures. Make sure your tortoise has access to your yard in the summer bec the sun is the best source for UV for them. Good luck :)
Hi Kenan are all the installations in your garden ?
I have a big chunk of land next to my house and I wondered what to do with it now I know!!!!
Omg you are the best I love the starred tortoise pens I’d love to be a tortoise and live at your camp
How much did you spend making the pond? Love it, I live in homestead and would love to save hire the man that built it.
+DoctorPepper4 Mostly free. Check out season 1.
Anyone have any pictures of the tops of their outdoor enclosure for a young small tortoise?
We own 4 acres and we are thinking of getting some sulcatas for our yard but we have metal see through fences and I am not to keen on going around the fence with wood on 4 acres. Do you have any ideas to fix this.
Your right we will get knowledge from all your videos
Hi kenan I am making a outside enclosure for my baby red foot and I was wondering how deep should the wood be in ground?
The poor cat just wanted love
Hey! So I plan on getting 1 or 2 red foot tortoises, now I'm most likely gonna get young ones. I live in SC and I'm wondering if they can last year round, of course coming in during cold fronts. For there young age they will live in a cinder block ring (About 7 ft across) covered In chicken mesh, is this okay? They will of course have a humid hide away, water and food dish, ect. Also should I get them from a online breeder and get them shipped to me or from repticon?
*Also when they are adult they will have the whole yard to their self which is fenced off with 7ft tall fencing that is not see through and if some how they get out there is a second wire fence.
What if anything can be done for a tortoise with an under bite? Where the lower jaw protrudes beyond the upper beak, Thank you.
which uvb bulb should I use and where can I buy them?
what substrate do you use for you hatchling
Wow thx Kamp glad i found u I have a sulcata tortoise n I'm trying to find out his age he's about 20in I measured him top shell from head to end shell only he weigh 10 to 15ps... can u give me his age plz thx
I have tiny gravel (fish tank pebbles) in my baby leopard's substrate. Once in a while she will eat a little bit of it to clean her intestinal tract.
Awsome!
Hi Kamp Kenan. I wonderd what tortoise i should get since i live in NY. It gets very cold here. I also would like a toroise that i can keep in my pen i am making. Shuld i get a vision cage for winter. Can you please help me.
Can I also house red foots in a stock tank in a garage over winter?
hi kamp kenan i live in houston what kind of tortoise do you think i should get. i was thinking hermanns tortoise
I have been building my russian tortoise an out door enclsure out of old slate. Its coming along great but I have so many blisters on my hands!
I think the Sulcata that you mentioned that does not have a name I think shellie is a good one
Sure do wish those prices were current
Would your sulcata building enclosure work for African spur thighs up here in West Virginia with our Winters?? Really wanting to get 1 or 2 Africans.. But don't know if they would survive our array of weather
There the same exact thing
I would love to Build like this for my boxs turtles
Was planning on getting a Leopard tortoise, how many should I get?
Hey Kenan, great information. Do you do anything to control ants in your tortoise enclosures?
second question. At what size do you no longer worry about roaming predators---racoons, opossums, etc?
George Miller I believe he has electric perimeter fence around entire property for that reason.
Im always curious about fire ant control methods. Over N Out works very well when spread over your whole yard, but I assume its not good for tortoises.
Hi, Love your videos. Do you have any Russian torts? and if so, whats your care for them?
Can you get those tourtus in Australia
