My 5yr old has discovered you and is now obsessed with tortoises haha, she thinks you're spactacular! We're learning a ton ty
They are seriously the most adorable tortoises, they stand so tall and it's so cute 💗🐢
I had no clue you liked Kenan
Kenan has a huge heart. This guy is genuinely a good guy.
I love aldabra tortoises are beautiful. I really like the bow tie they have on their shells just above their heads. Looks pretty cool 😊
Hi KANEN
Thanks for coming back to me it was very kind of you
I just want to say I support you because I think you are one of the most caring men
I too Love reptiles but I think you are wonderful
I will feed my little Guy on a slate that sounds really good idea
Thank You again
Take Care
My Warmest Regards
Barbra U K x x
This guy is awesome! He had my wife a friend and his kids over to see the animals, really great setup, really knowledgeable guy who love his torts.... and iguana's. He saved my baby Sulcata Blue, Blue would be dead right now if not for Sam! Sam... Write a book man! people need your knowledge.
I have a 200 year old 650 lb Aldabra. Love him so much.
Wow that's amazing!!
Oldest was 188, quit ur bullshit
10:08 literally what the tortoise is thinking “not the pop Cerati again ugh might as well pose.”
This was a great video! I've always wondered if getting an Aldabra was something I could do. Lost of my questions answered here in this video. Thanks Kenan and Sam!!
Great bonus video Kenan!! 🐢
Hey Kenan, Everything I know about tortoises I learnt from you in the last few months watching your channel. So interesting!
I am in love with aldabras! Thank you for these fun "bonus" videos where you visit with Sam.
Absolutely love all the knowledge and info from you and your buddy Sam. Great guy , love watching y’all talk shop and seeing all the tortoises 🐢
Love from Ohio
Aldabra/Galapagos videos are always my favorite to watch. Thanks for doing what you do Kenan!
Are aldabra the same species as Galapagos?
@@shanek6582 no they aren't, they are closely related but their not the same species, great question 😁
Good stuff! Thanks to Sam as well!
Super enjoyable video! Thanks so much!
Love this episode.such beauty!
Awesome video as always Kenan! Man, I would love one of those Galap's one day.
Super cool video, I had to watch it twice. Awesome!!!
Ah they're literally dinosaurs! Hah I knew they got big but it always blows my mind seeing full grown ones.
Again a lot of great information thanks!
I always enjoy him and his giant tortoises in your page! I learn so much...definitely my bucket list tortoise!! Thanks Kenan and Sam!!
GREAT,great attitude "BANGERANG!",.....But start now and very much consider Family "long-term' involvement,.....We've had our "MONSTERS" beginning in 1947/1948,......We're in our "80th" year and the "ORIGINAL" gang,(25 in all) are still more than ALIVE and flourishing,as of now we have roughly 85 or so.Your grand/great-grand kids 'll luv ya' when your long,long into your eternal "dirt-nap".
PrinceWilliam TheFox most definitely! I research as much as I can before investing my life, and my families life, in a new animal. I'm fortunate to have a young son (9) that loves his tortoises as well. He watches +kampkenan religiously along with reading up on the species he loves. I often tell people that I'm raising my future grand children's tortoises!
Thanks for the reply, id love to see your Monsters!
"RESEARCH"!!,...excellent.,...We have a 6"+" acre Oceanfront (heavily vegetated) property in the Keys.My Grandpop/Mom moved there in 1935.There were many INTRUSIONS(sic).We keep to ourselves.I've ONLY been 'turned-on' to YOU-TUBE for 3 or 4 years.,....'firstly' to see vids on rigging,etc.,for fishing.My Mom & Dad (both deceased) brought home a Sulcata tortoise to my Grandpop in 1946/47,(I WASN'T born 'till 1952).Things just went on from there."NOW" my Family (HUGE!!!!!) spends lots of time with the 80(++{they hide}++) torts.It's fun.,.....An awesome initial INVESTMENT by my Grandparents' "RESEARCH",......I'm just the benefactor,and in no way the progenitor.I'm "NO" expert;one Daughter is a DVM/Phd.Her twin sister is also an Md.,Phd.,.....I leave all the vids to the GREAT-ONES=Kamp Kenan/Sam Pascucci.,...They're my gurus/masters of the torts.I'll pop my head out every once in a while when I see a good/GREAT vid.,.......Pascucci/Kenan have made it an "ART",....(a little PS for 'ya.) Just try swimmin' out 400/500 yards chasing an ALDABRA.,.....They "CAN","DO","WILL",....SSSSWWWWIIIIMMMMM,....'specially in a warm(hot) salty,clear Ocean.
That was so cool to watch and I learnt something new mate
I loved the last tortoise 🐢 That face, like “What you never seen a guy enjoy a little spa time?”
18:28 man this got me, i'm in love
17:37 throws banana lmao
Excellent episode!
Such good information especially the advice about exercising splayed legs inside of a pool of water.
Hey Great Video! Could you make a video specifically for seasoned Aldabra owners? More particular on diet? I saw what looked to be alfalfa hay. What are the best bales to get, do you look at the color of the hay, Are there other hay types, do you wet it, do you put mazuri on the bottom, how often do you feed them hay, tricks and tips? I have seen Sam P.'s ads on line for years it was good to put a name to the face :)
Super enjoyed this.
Iv had my sulcata Male gettin a hatchling he is now 11 years old. 3 months ago i got a 2 year old female... he is a totally different animal now. So much more activity! It's crazy. If i would have known i worked have bought 2 or maybe even 3 originally
love all youre videos and i've learned alot from you and pushed me to learn even more about turtles tand tortoises which i have both of them and any informtion you could teach me i am very thankful
Love all your videos buddy thank you!
Maybe I'll make it down to the Daytona show some day and you can show me around some of your amazing animals. I know my son would go bonkers over your Torts!
I love Sam and his tortoises 😍🐢
I'm on Mr. Pascucci's mailing list. I'll hopefully be getting my Aldabra from him next season.
Yea,they breed tortoises,....."BUT" they both truly,truely luv 'em even more.,.....Hey folks.,.....My suggestion is to ALWAYS start with "2" torts,......(In the long-run,.....It's ACTUALLY much cheaper),.....besides being more FUN & HUMANE to your tort.,...That's just my opinion.,.....One of the BEST tort vids of all-time,(just my opinion).Thanks you guys.
Their absolutely beautiful!! And the sweetest faces!! :) ♡♡♡
Thanx Sam.
This is so inspiring
Indeed they are amazing
Love your vids
Love your channel, I have a question.. I recently got a pair of aldabras, but for some reason they are very fearful of people, they literally sprint away when they see humans. how do i make them more relaxed around people? tried to hand feed them but they wont budge out of their shells while im around. would appreciate any help, thank you!
Aldabra's are really cool. They look a lot more unique in their actual features than some other torti's. Their foot shape, head shape and front leg spurs, all look really neat ^^
And Domed Shell.
I wish I could care for one of these amazing tortoises.
They are beautiful. Those are happy animals.
We have a baby sulcatta. Just fed him some nopales. He loves it! Thanks
Amazing video Dr. Sam and Kenan! Thanks for sharing such great info and footage! I've been thinking about getting an Aldabra from him...hmm wonder if he has any baby males available?
LOVE SAM!!!
Any updates or video on that Green iguana you rescued and rehabbed about a year ago?
i was planning to get a cherry head or a redfoot, now this vid made me realize i need to get two. need to save a bit more.. thanks Kenan!
Did you ever get them?
I love, love, love Tortoises !!!
Always have, and Turtles, too.
I'd love to have a couple of little Tortoises, someday. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I got to see some at the ft worth zoo here in Texas -so big and so cool
Outstanding turtles 🐢
@18:11 look at that smile...thats a happy animal! lol
i want an aldabra, have one fully grown sulcata rn, and am moving to texas east dallas. i want to get an aldabra but im worried for the winters in dallas, ik it doesnt get cold for long but when it does it gets chilly. will i have to build him a shed with heat lights for the winter? or whats the best option for when he gets so big i cant bring him inside when it gets cold for the few weeks that it does
Bernie is amazing!
When are we going back to this guys place?! I hope you can show us weighing the torts. So beautiful!
Good idea. We’ll do that soon
Please start making videos like your old ones those where the best, please Kenan please!!!
IM SHOOOK. I DIDN'T EXPECT AN ANIMAL THIS BIG OMG HAD TO PAUSE JUST TO COMMENT.
Love your eyebrows
Love it vida
Vids
That’s a amazing tortoise
how do you differentiate male and female aldabra tort when they're about 1 year old??
Awesome animals.
My favorite!
@@KampKenan Yes, it´s remarkable how you care for your animals and I think that Tortoises/Turtles are so overlooked so that makes your content even more important. I´ve always loved reptiles but it´s quite honestly your channel that has sparked my interest in these wonderful armored critters and made me a real fan of them too. 🐢👍🏻
That’s a straight up Pokémon.
A point to add about Sulcata's. Sulcata's need to wear down their shells. I've made places for them to dig, but I limit how far down they can go, and I fill in the holes once or twice a week, so they have to dig it out again. My male Sulcata had some fairly bad pyramiding, and it's starting to wear down, so those scutes that look just as they did when they were babies are polished and almost gone.
is this filmed in seychelles ? my familys from there thats all....im currently obsessed with tortoises !! i love how they live til over 100 years
This is south Florida
How do you get one imported?
How do you move them?
Love I
Ur vids*
Kinda Of Reminds Me Of Venasaur. (Even Thought Squirtle-Blastoise Is The Turtle Species)
What an awesome video! So neat to see these large tortoises.
Thank YoU I think some is in here ❤
How old is the 30 in young female? I bought one from Sam a year ago, it was 4' but now only 6'. is it growing too slow?
No that’s perfect growth. How big is it now??
damm what a great video, thanks kenan !!
where do all these turtles go? how many can house an animal this big?
What happened to the tail of that galop?
Can someone please do a hatchling care please ❤♥️♥️
Are there any tortoise you can keep outside in the mid
Are there any tortoise you keep outside in the Midwest
Love Alda bra tortoises if I had the place and environment I would have two💚💚💚💚🐢🐢🐢🐢
Hi KANEN can I give bananas to my Spur High tort ? And also his nails have grown very long what can I do ?
Because I don't think I can cut them
What a wonderful video just loved it
Thank You so much
Barbra. U am x x x
Simply BEAUTIFUL gentle giants! 😍😍
Kenan do you do yor eyebrows
I keep thinking my Hermann's is getting big 🤣
Actually domed species of Galapagos tortoises are more social than saddlebacks
Damn.. love the video
LOL i'am actually from the seychelles..
Love sam! Go back!
On the splayed legs, I just adopted a sulcata that's about over a year and it has that pyramiding and splayed legs. Could you elaborate on some exercises to help with the legs?
One great thing that helps, water therapy, that helps tremendously with splayed out legs, kinda like what you do with dogs when they get older or have splayed out legs as well
These guys are cool...I was going to ask how much they were. Wow,those guys are expensive
Hey just so you know where sulcata tortoises are native it gets below freezing at night, so if you let them dig they will live through the cold,
Doom Guy Not worth the risk my dude
Doom Guy Sulcatas dont hibernate lol
Super tortoise
18:30 "there's the suction"
love your vids man be good bye
I knew some of those guys got pretty big but 400+ lbs? Holy guacamole! Lol That's just over what my 11mo old colt weighs (hes 385). 😂 Imagine a tortise weighing the same as a young horse 🐎 🐢
How much do gallops cost ?
Gallops I believe run from like 3,000 to 6,000, not exactly sure though, that is just a guess.
Kenan my turtle passed away... :( I'd like to keep his shell. How do I do that? I was told I could use superworms to eat the inner parts but they might destroy the shell, too. I can't just leave him outside to decompose because raccoons will take off with him. My old boss gave me a bearded dragon that wouldn't eat and when he passed away I buried him outside and the raccoons just dug him up and took him. Which I don't mind. They're making use of it at least by eating it, but like I said, I'd like to keep the shell of my turtle so I can't have them coming and taking him....
Maybe put it near an ant hill and they will epty it(probably)
Looks like sam is into the ol booger sugar...yall see that pinky finger nail.
Cory Unferferth 😂😂😂
@@aleixcharodriguez9483 it would be funny if he weighed all of his animals in grams and kilos
Lol I thought same thing
LOL he like the Snot Snacks LOL
Cool vid. Like Sam. He looks like his tortoises. He shall live as long as they!!!!!
God's wonderful creations
