I've read that Asian water monitors have lived for 20+ years in optimal conditions, and Slinky has the absolute best in terms of his enclosure and care and shows no signs of slowing down, so I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be possible, especially when you're so quick to get him to the vet if you see anything out of the ordinary, and that vet is not only a good friend but an absolute expert. Long live king of the Kamp!
Right. Even in the wild, Asian water monitors, especially in Thailand and Indonesia, often live for more than 15 years. There are cases of 23 and 27 years old.
Losing.. an animal you had for 15 years hurts alot.. but you put more into the rest of the others.. one or 2 lucky animals get upgraded in housing so loom on the positive side is what I have to drum in to myself..much love and respect to my reptile Brothers ..and the beautiful Slinky..
Kenan hows that dog house you like being in so much? I do hope Kate isn't a member so she doesn't watch this video 😂😂 If your not subscribed to Jerry's channel I highly recommend it!! When Jerry, Kenan and Matt are all in the same video, you know it's going to be filled with great information and Matt asking the right questions for us viewers who don't have reptiles yet.
Slinky is so well taken care of. I'm sure he will live longer than most monitors in captivity. Google says they can live 25 years in captivity, but in the wild only live an average of 11 years. Don't worry us like that!!
When I lost on bosc, I cried for days. She was a joy.. then I got Genghis my water monitor.. can live without a wife(had 2 ) but not living without a lizard or 2!
I just love Jerry and the time/effort/care he puts into his animals. Glad to see him at the Kamp 🙂 I bet Slinks was sniffing Jerry bc he recognized the scent of the guy who busted him when he escaped and foiled his grand adventure 😂
Every time I see a notification pop-up I know it's going to be a good. He is such a funny guy 🤣 I'm a man lizard 🦎 love it lol oh whats up Jerry and Matt
I agree. I can just imagine how sought after Slinky's progeny would be considering his internet fame status. But in all seriousness, founding a Slinky bloodline would be so awesome!
Awesome video, good to see Jerry at the camp, loved it when Matt said Artie calmed down and he was hissing and Kenan said sounds like it and then Matt makes the hissing noise and starts laughing omg I died laughing myself
I'm a regular with Jerry the same as I'm a regular with you Kenan. In fact Jerry and myself have chatted back and forth a number of times about ideas for the new property or idea I had for him for the new property.
Didn‘t know that Slinks is such an old man. 😮 Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 that he‘ll live for some more nice years, Kenan! Love ❤ and greetings from a Slinks fan in Germany 😊
Love when Jerry comes to visit! You two are tied for my favorite reptile TH-camrs. You should hook Jerry up with a couple turtles for his pond

Two things of major concern are plant toxicity & plant durability when mixing them with herps. Some common houseplants which are toxic to animals are innocuous to humans (and vice-versa.) A horticulturalist will be helpful there as well as suggesting specific plant requirements; light, water/humidity, fertilizer, etc. Blake’s suggestion for keeping water lilies in ponds with turtles works well, I’ve utilized that method.
Hi Kamp Kenan and family of the Kamp. If the Black Throat Monitors not be named. I feel the male should called Brian, in remambace of Brian Barczyk (if it okay with his family), as Brian done alot for the reptiles and the Reptiles Community around the world. Brian's passing made a huge hole in the Reptile Cummunity around the world. Plus why not start looking into target training, so when they see the target it means they going to fed, this might work with,Black Throat Monitors
Aldabras are the calmest-looking tortoises or turtles out there. They appear -- HAPPY -- sometimes. So many of our shell-backed friends look grumpy (every Sulcata I've ever seen) or sport a REAL BIG ATTITUDE like our buddy Otis in New Jersey. In fact, I've only seen Otis look anything BUT ornery one time when a large snapping turtle (resting in a large tub next to Otis's enclosure) who was AT LEAST 20 times bigger than Otis looked down on the little guy and GLARED at HIM!!!! I think Little Otis peed his shell that day! LOL
People will never understand how big lizards like slinky really are. My wife finally got to see a large water monitor at a expo and has a whole new appreciation for guys like Kenan and Jerry and the relationships they are able to build with these animals
You could put out a small bed of black lava rock in a part of the enclosure to allow for extra heat absorption on those overcast days like Jerry was talking about. Maybe right in front of the hide.
It was great to see Jerry at the camp. All the animals are looking great. You know you have at least 1 male BT since it dragged his bits across the platform, so hopefully, the one that Jerry thinks is a girl is.... fingercrossed! Another great video! 😊❤
According to wikipedia, the life expectancy of asian water montiors in captivity can be anywhere between 11 and 25 years. So Slinky could still have quite a few years to live.
You know, I WAS going to avoid making any references to the Sizzler Sisters OR "The Beard" sketch (yet again!) on The Kids on the Hall BUT the first 30 seconds of this video convinced me to post this anyway!!!! Jerry and Kenan DO remind me of the Sizzler Sisters for some reason -- without the wigs, and having beards because they've been evading the RCMP for the past week! Oh, and DO watch The Kids in the Hall "The Beard" sketch online if you can... It explains a lot! 😅 Kenan's calmer after he shaves! 🤣😂🤣
Thats cool you don't use the sock. I have a im nuvo 15 and have ran different variations on it. Rock rubble in back and whatnot. Now im running the sock, then a skimmer that only runs a few hours 3 days a week, a nano uv light, heater and a mighty jet pump turned all the way up and its going ok so far haha. Looks good man 🤘.
Growing up, we always had dogs... depending on the day the order of priority for my Dad would change.. some days I'd be the most important, others I'd be number 3 (I'm an only child) its the forfeit of being family with someone who is a critter person :-)
Jerry is the best! I’m Loving his channel so far ! I watch both u guys religiously now .. I still say we gotta get slinky over to Jerry’s and get slinky a couple girlfriends. So u have a slinky son or daughter to soften the blow when he’s gone. It would be cool to see u start over with a slinky Baby
I don't think I'll ever be able to level up to a monitor. They are beautiful, but that's a whole lot of lizard. I think a tegu is as big as I'll ever go, but never say never lol
I have a White Throat he is about 5 foot now. But how can I tell the for sure? I bought it assuming it was a male but like you said can’t really tell that young so it was a guess..Also could you breed a White Throat and a Black Throat?
There’s Jerry’s link in the video, but clicking on it doesn’t do anything and his link isn’t in the description. I’m lazy, don’t make me use the search bar, lol.
“I love things that wanna hurt me. That’s why I got married.” Lmao! Kenan, you’re back in the dog house🤣😂
Great line huh LOL
@@KampKenan
There’s a very fine line…
And the work starts again... 😂😂😂
He never learns, first the Slinky comment and now this. Good luck
@@KampKenan😂🤣 i’m gonna steal that one
“The love of my life!” 😂🤣 Kenan that story had me laughing out loud!

Ohhhhh Kenan 😂🤣The first night of your "honeymoon" & you declare your love for Slinky 😂🤣
Oooooooops!

We must see the man lizard pose more often lmao. It’s always a blast when Jerry visits!
More man lizard.....got it!
Slinky can live up to 25 yrs in captivity.
such a sweet moment talking about losing animals, it hurts so much
Slinky Slinky everybody loves a Slinky ! God bless the Kamp , and peace .
Argus are amazing . Joseph minkman used one named raptor to catch mice n rats . Super intelligent
Kenan hows that dog house you like being in so much? I do hope Kate isn't a member so she doesn't watch this video 😂😂
If your not subscribed to Jerry's channel I highly recommend it!!
When Jerry, Kenan and Matt are all in the same video, you know it's going to be filled with great information and Matt asking the right questions for us viewers who don't have reptiles yet.
I keep finding my way into it!
Yay, I'm glad Jerry had time for a visit!
The passion for the animals between you two is awesome!
slinky is a legend and an actual living dragon hope he has a long life
Thanks for letting us know that Slinky is an old man... I'm not crying, you're crying. 😩
Well, he's not old.
"Big 50" 🎉 🎂🎂coming up in June isn't it Kenan. I just learnt you share a birthday with me being in June. I was in 76 like Jerry though. 👍
Slinky is so well taken care of. I'm sure he will live longer than most monitors in captivity. Google says they can live 25 years in captivity, but in the wild only live an average of 11 years. Don't worry us like that!!
In fact, in wild they live longer, 15-25 years.
We need some Slinky bebes
I googled asian water monitor's lifespan and found 11 to 25 yrs. I don't want to believe Kenan on the 15 yrs so what's real? 🥲.
I love slinky too!
100% understand “The love of my life” sentiment. I’d be listening to without my Savannah monitor❤
When I lost on bosc, I cried for days. She was a joy.. then I got Genghis my water monitor.. can live without a wife(had 2 ) but not living without a lizard or 2!
I just love Jerry and the time/effort/care he puts into his animals. Glad to see him at the Kamp 🙂
I bet Slinks was sniffing Jerry bc he recognized the scent of the guy who busted him when he escaped and foiled his grand adventure 😂
I found Jerry’s channel because of yours. Been watching forever now and he’s getting a black roughneck monitor from a friend of mine this weekend!!!
My Favorite 2 Lizard Guys! 🦎 Awesome!
Slinky's Habitat Looks Amazing! Can't wait to see the new Sun Catcher Cage. It's going to be so Cool! 💯👍😁
Argus monitors have such LONG LEGS!!! The runway models of the monitor world 😂❤
Every time I see a notification pop-up I know it's going to be a good. He is such a funny guy 🤣 I'm a man lizard 🦎 love it lol oh whats up Jerry and Matt
Man I love Slinky. We know who the boss is Kenen and it ain't your wife............ LOL LOL
2:30 late bobby rubino siblings have grown so much. if he was here right now,hed be twice as big as they are :)
You take great care of your Reptiles Kenan and you do a great job with their enclosures
Nice to see Jerry on your video nice to c Matt back
Two If the Very Best and when they collaborate its always a great one
Jerry es de lo mejor...
Yeh it’s slinky that made my day seeing him
I adore Jerry. Never miss a video from either of you. Glad you had a little bro time :)
Really need to breed Slinky with one of Jerry's girls. Slinky's genes need to be carried on.
Absolutely!! A Slinky baby…can you imagine?!?! Fantastic!
I agree. I can just imagine how sought after Slinky's progeny would be considering his internet fame status. But in all seriousness, founding a Slinky bloodline would be so awesome!
Awesome video, good to see Jerry at the camp, loved it when Matt said Artie calmed down and he was hissing and Kenan said sounds like it and then Matt makes the hissing noise and starts laughing omg I died laughing myself
thw mossy long neck is so cute
I'm a regular with Jerry the same as I'm a regular with you Kenan. In fact Jerry and myself have chatted back and forth a number of times about ideas for the new property or idea I had for him for the new property.
Jerry's channel is great!
Jerry for the win!!
Love when your friends come to visit. Lets us see their take on what you’ve been doing and what they think about your animals. Always fun.
Didn‘t know that Slinks is such an old man. 😮 Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 that he‘ll live for some more nice years, Kenan!
Love ❤ and greetings from a Slinks fan in Germany 😊
He can live up to 25 years so let's keep positive. My boy is 6 this year.
Needed this video! Love when you and Jerry are in a video together. Much
I love when Jerry comes over.
Herp brothers reunion........
Both you dudes are great peeps......
Respect for living your passions 100.....
One x
I always say Scarlet he is my son. My redfoot from you. When you get your tort at months old and now he is 9 years. He is my son.
Love it!!!!!!!!
Love when Jerry comes to visit. Can’t wait to see the new cage build.
Slinky keeps catching Jerry out. I wonder if he remember he saved him when he got out.😮
Love when Jerry comes to visit! You two are tied for my favorite reptile TH-camrs.

22:52 man kenan,clean out those sugar ants,and maybe inky wont be so aggro
Diatomaceous earth will do it.
facts or just "clean out the dirt.." and spray the area.. than wait a few days to add pinky back in the enclosure..
Aldabras are the calmest-looking tortoises or turtles out there. They appear -- HAPPY -- sometimes.

I think Kenan is some kinda reptile lizard man 😂
This was a good video in the Adam Sandler reference was hilarious
So glad you got it and enjoyed Stacey!
I think that "ding" should be added when a tail whip makes contact! I think the names DEVO and Whip It still apply!
black throat habitat looks awesome cant wait to see nxt piece added
Kenan, you really need a kookaburra bird for the camp!! That would be so cool when you walk around to hear that bird going off!!!
You totally should get some chickens to feed your animals fresh eggs! Slinky would probably love it!
Slinky could become 20+ years old
Watched jerry put a front on the garage the other day lol I'd be happy with a quarter the talent to build that stuff
@06:33 if one of the previous one the Black Throats did show the hemi pein 3-4 videos back
People will never understand how big lizards like slinky really are. My wife finally got to see a large water monitor at a expo and has a whole new appreciation for guys like Kenan and Jerry and the relationships they are able to build with these animals
“I can’t wait to see your area.” 😂😂😂😂😂
Bromance.
Since Argus monitors are runner he needs a bigger enclosure.
When Kenan said ‘this cage is big enough for two monitors’ - Jerry was thinking ‘if we’re breeding Inky - she can come to my place’ 👊😁
You could put out a small bed of black lava rock in a part of the enclosure to allow for extra heat absorption on those overcast days like Jerry was talking about. Maybe right in front of the hide.
It was great to see Jerry at the camp. All the animals are looking great. You know you have at least 1 male BT since it dragged his bits across the platform, so hopefully, the one that Jerry thinks is a girl is.... fingercrossed! Another great video! 😊❤
If you have him xrayed please let us know what you find out. Love that lizard ❤
Those little sideneck turtles in the tub look like baby plesiosaurs with their tubby bodies and elongated necks.
According to wikipedia, the life expectancy of asian water montiors in captivity can be anywhere between 11 and 25 years. So Slinky could still have quite a few years to live.

Oh, and DO watch The Kids in the Hall "The Beard" sketch online if you can... It explains a lot! 😅
Kenan's calmer after he shaves! 🤣😂🤣
Asian water monitors can live up to 25yrs in captivity, so slinky’s not going anywhere anytime soon
Yeah Kenan got me worried there for a sec
Pete!!
Flat rocks !!!! They get 20+ years old
Slinky should live longer, its just not fair for him to get 12-15 years only
Thats cool you don't use the sock. I have a im nuvo 15 and have ran different variations on it. Rock rubble in back and whatnot. Now im running the sock, then a skimmer that only runs a few hours 3 days a week, a nano uv light, heater and a mighty jet pump turned all the way up and its going ok so far haha. Looks good man 🤘.
You should go to the other extreme and get a few species of dwarf monitors.
Growing up, we always had dogs... depending on the day the order of priority for my Dad would change.. some days I'd be the most important, others I'd be number 3 (I'm an only child) its the forfeit of being family with someone who is a critter person :-)
We need an official weight and length on slickly!
lol i know i rank under my husbands dog, and I came first!!! :) it happens
"I cant wait to see your area" -Out of context Kennan. 😅😂
👍👍👍👍👍
I only have tortoises because I can't handle a pet passing away . So I get it .
Jerry is the best! I’m Loving his channel so far ! I watch both u guys religiously now .. I still say we gotta get slinky over to Jerry’s and get slinky a couple girlfriends. So u have a slinky son or daughter to soften the blow when he’s gone. It would be cool to see u start over with a slinky Baby
as much as I will miss Slinky when he does pass away, I wonder whose going to inherit his enclosure?
You need to get a female monitor for slinky and have some baby monitors
I truly don’t know how Kate does it 🙄. Of course I don’t see any other parts of their lives but….🤣🤣
You must measure slinky once and for all
I’m just saying if something happens to slink you need to get him mounted from the taxidermist
💜💚💚💚💜
I don't think I'll ever be able to level up to a monitor. They are beautiful, but that's a whole lot of lizard. I think a tegu is as big as I'll ever go, but never say never lol
He is kind of mental
Really 12 years. I always thought around 20 to 25 yrs for varanids
Yes, for Asian monitors 15-25 years and even more in some cases.
I have a White Throat he is about 5 foot now. But how can I tell the for sure? I bought it assuming it was a male but like you said can’t really tell that young so it was a guess..Also could you breed a White Throat and a Black Throat?
That Argus monitor sounds exactly like a blower when he starts to get huffy and puffy. What happened to the other Argus you had?
I feel so sad that Inkys box is infested with ants. That can not be comfortable.
I was gonna say he shoulda told jerry he saw ones male parts
Why not bring them inside earlier, before it gets too cold.
There’s Jerry’s link in the video, but clicking on it doesn’t do anything and his link isn’t in the description. I’m lazy, don’t make me use the search bar, lol.
