    For the love of animals. You're so adorable Kenan. I can see in your videos how much you love what you're doing. Keep having fun. :)

    Your channel is my new favorite thing! I especially love the how-to's for enriched animal enclosures. You said it yourself-- they come alive in that environment, so obviously it is one of the most important things for keeping an animal in captivity. Thank you for putting quality, simple, and resourceful information out there for the rest of us. And keep em coming because I am addicted!

    Kenan, have you ever thought about doing a Q&A video? Because I'm sure a lot of your viewers have questions about your life, the reptiles, how you started with reptiles and etc.

  • @Vocabuliser375
    @Vocabuliser375 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Your videos have to be my favourite reptile vids on youtube, your passion for the husbandry of the animals is just amazing, and sets a good example.
    keep it up Kenan.

    Hell yeah! I live in Scranton Pa and we just got 24" of snow here, I got excited about building channels to let the snow melt through to the sewer...I know exactly why you get excited building stuff for animals! It is always fun to try and think of the best way to make something to look good and function...Like I said before, you have the dream job...I wish I lived near you I would volunteer just so I can hang out with someone with a like mindset and all the cool animals.

    Filling absolutely the same, as you described when creating the habitat for reptiles in the best way they will like it and always keeping upgrading it with fresh ideas))) Unfortunately, I don't have a backyard, and living in pretty small apartment, so need to be even more creative to fit all ideas in small place) Btw just created a two-storied terrarium for my redfoots, the one of a kind :)

    I've just been spending 3 days building a big tortoise table for a redcoat that I should be getting! It's huge and I have so many plans for it, it's going to have plants, grass and a water part that's going to look really cute! I'm super excited!!! :)

      @beccalouise9055 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm subbed to Steff J actually! She's great, and thanks for the advice. Everything is great so far! I actually have been uploading videos of my new tortoise, I ended up getting a Greek tortoise (Spur Thigh) rather than a red head. You can check them out if you want, I'll upload a tour of the table tomorrow so you can see that too :)
