Tell Matt he's a wonderful addition to the Kamp, with his help it makes filming for you so much easier and he's a friendly dude so glad to have him there!!
I personally LOVE these longer videos. It's more like "The Kamp Kenan Show" so I can settle in and dive deep into the Kamp goings on. I love it. Don't stop!
Hail king matt, he is such a great camera man. You always strive to make all your animals comfy. It doesnt surprise me that you have shared your bed with reptiles, you would do anything for them. Your the best!!
Fantastic video!! I love how you show correct husbandry and show us the actual work that goes into caring for animals in an informative and fun way. This video was so funny... and I love the relationship between you and Matt. Tom and the two of you make for an excellent team! Stay warm and stay safe ♡
My wife saw the stock tanks and was like we need some of those. Congrats Kenan your winning. 😂. I couldnt be happier. She wants to get more reptile stuff.
yeah.....I was going to say the same. We learned with our heated pool that 90% of heat loss is through the open top. A good solar cover is cheap and will help a lot.
Hey Kenan ! Its taken me a while to adjust to your new style of videos and admittedly I don't like change ! But I watched this video all the way through and fell back in love with your videos again ! Keep up the amazing work ! 👏
I'm loving the longer videos you, Matt and the editor are making together. Also really enjoying your buddy Jerry's channel too, yourself and Jerry are two out of three of my favourite reptile yt channels. Thank you so much for everything you've taught me via your videos.
When Hurricane Sandy hit NYC in late Oct. of 2012 not even a month prior I had just purchased two baby Star Tortoises and Two baby Marginated Tortoises (all about 6-8 week old hatchlings). We were without electricity for about a week here and not wanting to risk losing them during the cold Autumn nights I put them in a small mesh laundry bag and until the electricity was restored they slept in bed with me! My partner who also shared the same bed was not too wild about sleeping with baby tortoises but hey, my apartment - my rules! That relationship ended about a year later but the tortoises are still with me and doing fine. The motto of the story; relationships may come and go but tortoises are forever! I definitely feel you on that one Kenan... lol!
Yes I always love the info u gave us Kenan and the education. I live in north central Florida and were about to get a bigger piece of property up here and this is all good to know. We raise and keep Rabbits and chickens and of course reptiles. Our new place we gotta have a pond dug or made however also need a nice outbuilding for our snakes amd amphibians. Anyways I really hope after this year I hope mother nature is done with all these cold fronts. Because before in Florida it used to be every 20 to maybe every 10 years we would have a cold spurt now it's been back to back for the last couple years it's dropped to freezing levels. No thanks I moved from up north along time ago to avoid all this and not have a high electric bill with my reptiles because I had to keep everything inside but now it's getting the same way I gotta start getting some more outbuildings and keep them fully heated for my reptiles not what I had in mind with my cold-blooded family
Apologize about the tank valve suggestion. I've learned more about you and your Conservation efforts. If you know of anyone who breeds tortoises in South Carolina would you please let me know. Thank you for all the good information.
I love the long episodes !! Matt, we appreciate you man. You’re a phenomenal cameraman & friend to the Kamp! Have a great week Mr. Kenan. Looking forward for future episodes! 🏕🐢🐊🐉
That 58 degrees is warm, where I live at it is 30/19 but feels like 23 degrees, I understand that 58 is cold in Florida, glad all your animals are safe from the Florida cold
Blake got a heater for his giant pond in his aviary after first cold snap because he lost so many fish. After the second cold snap, he didn’t lose a single one. He has many turtles in that pond also. Maybe he can tell you where he got his heater? That way you wouldn’t have to move them from the rec pond at all. It would save you a ton of time and energy plus peace of mind. Hopefully that helps?
Awesome video as always!! To keep the argus monitors log from rolling it might be good to build some kind of rack that it can set down into but the rocks do work pretty well.
It would be amazing if those Fly River Turtles, Battigers and other large aquatic turtles (and perhaps some Dwarf Caiman) could be kept in a raised “Koi pond” type enclosure with a glass wall(s) or window(s) so they could be observed swimming from the side. Those type “pools” are fairly new but a wonderful alternative to a sub-ground classic pond.
I live in New York. I experienced a power outage and unfortunately lost one of my best Green Iguanas. My other Iguana survived but I recently made the hard decision to rehome it so the same thing wouldn’t happen in the future. Winters here really suck for reptile keeping. I still have my Mexican black kingsnake and Brazilian tarantula, as they handle the cold much better. But I can’t wait to move to Florida so I could once again keep iguanas.
Can you put a pool heater on the rec pond? Obviously, that would be more $$$ but, I would think if Big Rich can heat a 58,000 gallon pool-pond, you should be able to do it too. That might reduce some stress for you, knowing that's one thing you don't have to worry about anymore.
I hear ya man. My tortoises are getting cabin fever. Every chance I get if it’s sunny and more than 50-55 I’ve been letting them out. The Aldabras absorb that sun like nobody’s business. Ha ha. I even brought a couple snakes out the other day. My retic actually likes to poo out in the grass, so if she’s anywhere close to blowin and the sun is out, I like to take advantage. Ha ha.
@@KampKenan I’ve stolen your idea got a cows plastic water tub magic foam and split fence posts as a surround I’m hoping the foam will insulate during winter ! Thanks again captain for the idea 👍🖖🐟
Love, love, love these longer videos! I’m no expert, but from what I have heard from other UA-camrs, what you really need is a dead cat…….. Or cat ears, they go by various names, but dead cat is the one I have heard most about. It’s just a fluffy thing you put over your mic and it eliminates all that wind noise, but doesn’t make it sound like the line has gone dead for a second every time you take a breath when you are talking! Plus, you can get one for very little from Amazon. Just a thought, hope you don’t mind me mentioning it. 🤗🙏🏼🌸
Kenan we've had a remarkably warm winter here in Florida this year. Not many cold snaps. 🤧 hope it continues on but worries me for summer. Gonna be hot hot hot and the mosquitoes....sigh. and who knows what itll mean come hurricane season
Hi mate you should consider extending that cage with the smaller Argus a meter sideways to make it more useful. I doubt the iguanas would miss the space.
For those barrel/tree stump hides, I'd maybe cut a half circle into it for an opening instead of a square so that the one side of the entrance is open in case they ever manage to get stuck, when you take the front off it has an open side and when the wood cover is on it still is enclosed - does that make any sense? Lol. I am paranoid about those entrances and have taken Dremels to s few hides of various sizes for that reason. Great vid, awesome hide and love that beautiful Argus!!
Dude if your worried about the pole hit the scrap yard or what you call it in the states take a few trunk hydraulic levers will open and close alot more calmly
@@listenup7284 I didn't say it wasn't cold. Just that cause that's a higher temp than I got rn it's wild to think about lmao. I understand reptiles need warmer temps. That's why he can have them outside and I can't.
Don't overhaul. Relax and enjoy your animals for a bit. You and your family deserve it.🥴 Make vids of you having fun. You wear me out. I need a nap after I watch your vids. 😜
I’m just curious if Aquascape has a feature that allows you to heat their ponds and water features. It seems like such a hassle for you to have to do this every time the temperature drops.
To Matt, it's really been awesome having you around in the videos! I also appreciate that you get involved and are not just a silent filmer!
Tell Matt he's a wonderful addition to the Kamp, with his help it makes filming for you so much easier and he's a friendly dude so glad to have him there!!
It's great watching these long-form videos on how it's not always fun and games to take care of reptiles. As always, thanks Kenan and Matt.
Glad you like them!
"What helps stress is action!" Definitely needed to hear that today, man, true wisdom. Very cool to see all this.
Love to hear it Lorraine!

My wife saw the stock tanks and was like we need some of those. Congrats Kenan your winning. 😂. I couldnt be happier. She wants to get more reptile stuff.
LOVE IT!!
Also, on top of the stock tank heaters- you could cover the tubs over night, which helps a great deal keeping heat in.😊
Thanks for the tip!

Bonfire time ,maybe not with nails.
Woow we don't get to look at Matt very often he's a handsome dude ❣
JUST THE TYPE OF REPTILE UA-camR I NEEDED
Yay. 30 minutes of the camp.
Thanks matt
Watching the kamp evolve over the last few years has been awesome:)
Upgrading/maintaining the kamp with Kenan's chit chat are my favourite type of videos!
Team work makes the dream work well done finding the pliers ❤😊
This is what love looks like in action. God Kenen, you are such an inspiration....(even with all the whining).
Matt’s laugh at 2:48 is hilarious. Matt, I was laughing right along with you! 🐢❤️🐢

I would like to see Kate's face everytime she gets the electric bill! I bet you can't wait for warmer weather.
Shout out to the Kamp
Thanks Bud!

Loved seeing you happy and hitting goals and knocking stuff off your to-do list. Love the turts and torts!🐢 And lizards, of course. 🦎🦖🐊
I live in Northern Minnesota and the temperature was -27 below zero this morning. Wind chill was well over -35 below.

You always make me smile I really like your content and your personality. Matt your awesome
Work places are allowed to be messy when you have priorities. Love it ❤
So true!
Love the turtle content Kenan! Thanks for dedicated your life to chelonians and all of your other cool reptiles!
LOL You were in such a goofy mood today. Love it!❤ Really like these longer videos.
More to come!
Man Kenan has got to be my favourite dude on UA-cam, big love
I love the long episodes !!
Matt, we appreciate you man. You’re a phenomenal cameraman & friend to the Kamp!

Consider getting an on demand water heater that can pump as needed into your various smaller ponds.
Can you put a pool heater on the rec pond? Obviously, that would be more $$$ but, I would think if Big Rich can heat a 58,000 gallon pool-pond, you should be able to do it too. That might reduce some stress for you, knowing that's one thing you don't have to worry about anymore.

Hey kenan it's nice to have you back your personality's been a little off lately I'm so happy we got our cheerful you know happy guy back

Another busy day at the kamp, Kenan those blue containers I’m wondering if I could make a raised pond with something similar, thanks for the vlog 👍
Don't see why it wouldn't work John!

Love from nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
Thank you for watching!
Hope everything is going well. It’s 68f warmer than here. I’m not going outside for a few days until the cold front passes and we get at least 15-20f.
You need a pool heater for the rec pond! 👍👍👍👍

Nice…I love how creative you are….watching you gives me great ideas for my lizards.Thank you
Dude it's back down to -27c here this week. I feel you on a loathing of the cold, I miss going outside without dressing for arctic exploration lol
Polystyrene or styrofoam sheets for the tube to go on will hold heat more and slats tiles for the bottom to absorb and hold the heat
Kenan we've had a remarkably warm winter here in Florida this year. Not many cold snaps. 🤧 hope it continues on but worries me for summer. Gonna be hot hot hot and the mosquitoes....sigh. and who knows what itll mean come hurricane season
FIngers crossed
Love the Argus monitors ❤ gorgeous ❤
Hi mate you should consider extending that cage with the smaller Argus a meter sideways to make it more useful. I doubt the iguanas would miss the space.
Oh hang on you’ve got a door there so that’s not gunna work. Maybe extend from the front then
Skate tiles for the base will hold the warmth
Remember when the shed was infested with roaches. That was a fun video. 😂
For those barrel/tree stump hides, I'd maybe cut a half circle into it for an opening instead of a square so that the one side of the entrance is open in case they ever manage to get stuck, when you take the front off it has an open side and when the wood cover is on it still is enclosed - does that make any sense? Lol. I am paranoid about those entrances and have taken Dremels to s few hides of various sizes for that reason. Great vid, awesome hide and love that beautiful Argus!!
2 degrees this morning
I hate the cold as well, I just wish it was summer already. Great video man I love seeing your reptiles. Keep up the work
You should invest in a geothermal heat pump for the rec pond.
I had to put the heat in for my tortoises lol it’s been spring now it’s winter this week in Dallas lol excellent video I love the turtles!
When we lost water and power 2 years ago, my beardie and my leopard gecko spent several days in bed with me. I feel ya!
Hello great video information and updates Kenan
I still Like the hat!! You and Matt should have matching hats.
Hi Kemp
Hi!

Have you considered putting wireless thermometers in the boxes so you can monitor the temps from inside the house?
Love your channel 💕
