I was just in south Florida at my husband's family home and wanted to go see Sam. His place is amazing. I really want to start caring for tortoises. After 2 years, and watching people like you, Kenan and Sam have taught me so much. I'd love some Salcatas, red foots, cherry heads, and my dream would be aldabras or a gallop or 2. Then other animals I love are Rhino iguanas and Radiated Tortoises. Those are certainly bucket list for me and my husband.
I really enjoyed the conversation about the educational aspects of what you guys do. Education begins with curiosity. And that curiosity begins with exposure. Anyone I talk to who is obsessed with reptiles (like myself) always has a memory of a childhood experience. I was five years old when I was exposed to my first reptile. I saw an alligator lizard run by me in the backyard. I had no idea what it was, so my dad caught it to show me. That opened up a world of curiosity that never stopped, even 30 years later!
Fun fact: The Komodo Dragon actually isn’t considered an island giant anymore. Fossils have been found in Australia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea that are attributed to the Komodo. They are pretty sure all those places were connected during the last ice age due to lower sea levels, and that the Komodo just went extinct everywhere else except for the couple of islands it lives on today. It’s believed it evolved in Australia alongside the Megalania.
As a dog lover, I couldn’t help but notice the royal German shepherd just sitting and being a good boy himself while his human keeps talking passionately about his pals. I wanna give him a good pet!! And off course I love the really educational content. Thanks always!!
Great video, Sam is a legend! Smart to quarantine new animals. He has such wonderful, diverse group...the introduction of a pathogen could be devastating. Love it when you guys get together and nerd out.
Wow, Sam is such a genuine bloke. Can feel his excitement and passion for what he does, hats off to both fo you. Another great video Kenan, thank you always. Who doesn't love watching all these gentle giants! Wouldn't like to pick a fight with an angry mountain tortoise though, yikes!
Always a good time when you are at Sams place! Sad to see so many empty cages from him having to get rid of so many of his animals due to the new regs in Florida. I know i wouldnt be alone with wanting a longer episode of just you and Sam talking about his animals and his goals. Almost like a podcast because he has so much info to give out and it would be recorded on YT for years to come.
I could listen to Sam and Kenan talk for DAYS on this subject. Super interesting.... covers all my bases, animals, paleontology, reptiles, and big dawgs! That German Shepard is a beauty!
I love what you guys do! The knowledge between yourself and Sam is incredible. I had that spark with reptiles when I was young but it faded, watching your channel however has reignited that spark!
Don't worry hell come back very soon. Lobo from my understanding is heading home but first he needs to go through a 5 week training course to learn,adapt and help his family doing the best he possibly can. :)
I absolutely love these videos with Sam and Kenan, you always learn so much from them. Great to see Paul and Sophia getting to hang out at Sam’s place 🤗🐢🤗
Always great to see Sam and his animals.... and I have myself always been in to reptiles... but with all honesty.... I am getting ready to gets black mountain tortoises thanks to watching Kamp Kenan..... way back in the pre Aquascape ponds.... when he had the mountain tortoise 🐢 .....
I just wanna say, Kenan, that I started watching your channel because I thought it would one day make good reference if I needed to ever draw/paint reptiles, but I stayed for the educational value. I'm a comic artist by trade and tho I know I'd never want to own a reptile, it's very fun to learn about them and see the animals in your care and those in the care of your friends :) It's a dearly held belief of mine that no matter what we do for a living or in our hobbies, no education or learning is wasted and it all feeds into each other and makes our lives richer. Thank you for everything you do!
Wow! So many amazing animals! Good luck Florida reptile keepers! Fight to keep your rights to help these animals - many who are losing their home habitats to destruction by humans. Thanks for bringing us along to Sam's, Kenan!
Awesome video! Thanks. I hope that things work out so that you guys can live your passion and share your experience and knowledge with us all for many years to come.
One time I was on vacation in Mexico and there were quite a few of those spiny tail iguanas. One who was missing part of its tail stayed close to our building It was quite friendly … it would pose for pictures.
@@YochevedDesigns I agree,it's very subtle but Paul is listening. He not utilize the knowledge right than and there,however he will use it when the time comes
@@jebVlogs556 why would Paul listen? He hasnt learned how to keep fish alive after all these years through all the failed ponds, tanks, ponds, tanks amd thousands of fish. Why would he learn sitting there looking like a qiestionmark? Paul will never learn anything, Paul wants to buy new animals. Not keeping the ones he has alive
Kenan's Galaps are funny. You get the feeling they're amused by him! Then there's that other tortoise (I don't think it's a Galap but it hangs out with the group) that always comes behind Kenan. That's the only that gives me carnivorous vibes! Yeah, don't wear sandals around that one!
He might be cute, but still the pet tuber that has killed most fish Paul is a clown, he will never learn how to keep fish alive. His thing is to buy animals, not keeping them alive
Island dwarfism and gigantism is fascinating, but it’s based more on size than mammal/reptile Small animals often get large in the absence of predators and large animals often get smaller due to limited resources There’s a few examples of small mammals growing larger on islands
The well-known giant island reptiles aren’t considered island giants now. The Komodo dragon and the large tortoises already reached the islands in their current size. In the past many giant tortoise occurred on the mainland, but they got extinct by humans. Some smaller reptiles like lizards became island giants though. Small mammals like rodents and rabbits have grown on islands too.
Just wanna add into the little paleontology discussion at the start of the video. The three lineages Sam was discussing are Anapsids which have no openings in their skulls, Synapsids which have 1 opening called temporal fenestra, and Diapsids which have 2 openings called the supratemporal fenestra and the infratemporal fenestra. Anapsids are extinct, and while it is still debated as to whether Testudines(the order containing turtles and tortoises) are Anapsids, the general consensus is that they aren't. Synapsids are the lineage that would lead to mammals and our extinct relatives such as Dimetrodon and Gorgonopsids. Diapsids contain Archosaurs (which is made up of Crocodilians and their extinct relatives, Pterosaurs, Birds, and Non-avian dinosaurs) and Lepidosauria (which contains Plesiosaurs, Ichthyosaurs, Tuataras/Rhynchocephalia, and Squamata which are snakes and lizards). The position of Testudines is hotly debated and different papers on genetic studies have argued for placements as both basal Archosaurs and basal Lepidosaurs. That said, the most recent and comprehensive study done indicates a placement as a basal Archosaur. I know that this is quite large and long, but I hope that whoever is reading this learns something new 😃
Also, Island Gigantism has been recorded in several species of mammals and birds. Including several species of lemurs, a giant goose from the Gargano region of Italy because it was an island during the Miocene, and a giant swan from Sicily and Malta
My male Greek tortoise tries to bite my fingers or toes whenever he has a chance haha. I’ve actually let him bite me to see if he actually would or if he was just bluffing... he wasn’t bluffing. Didn’t really hurt that bad since he’s a small species. I do wonder why he does it tho
@@Rryan8065 It’s common knowledge that Donny and Chandler have beef! It’s childish and quite frankly just trash talk for views! By all means, go discuss it on Nerd’s channel if you so wish. I would personally like to see Kenan’s channel focus on facts and discussing serious issues without the mud throwing and nastiness, in other words like adults 🤷🏼♀️
@@mrsb1212 chandler has changed big time. I don’t know if it’s drugs or what but he’s been living on the edge and doesn’t care one bit about safety. It all started to come down hill since Ruth left and brea got killed.
I have a question will you get geckos because geckos have nice personalities and they make sounds when breeding like the New Caledonian crested gecko and you can get many different morphs I would like to know what you think and if you would do it

@Kamp Kenan, we loved having you over at the farm today. Thank you so much for stopping by!
Always love when Kenan visits FITB! What you do there for these beautiful animals is amazing! Love ya Sam!

"He gave Sophia - What did he give you?"
"Uuuuuh"
"Exactly!"
Made me laugh out loud 😂 - I've been there too with kids.

Love to see this bmx legend transition into a wildlife educator / keeper / breeder.. it’s like I’m watching the reformed kennan
Love Sophia an how much she admires you & the animals ❤️

So cool to see the enthusiasm and passion that Sam and Kenan have for animals .
You can clearly see Sam’s passion for tortoises
Love it when you visit Sam! His place is great and he is just so knowledgeable! I am sure Leon is gonna enjoy his new home 😊
I could listen to Sam and Kenan talk for DAYS on this subject. Super interesting.... covers all my bases, animals, paleontology, reptiles, and big dawgs! That German Shepard is a beauty!
I'm going to miss Leon. He shares my cats name so I was predisposed to liking him lol. Glad he has a great new home!
I love what you guys do! The knowledge between yourself and Sam is incredible. I had that spark with reptiles when I was young but it faded, watching your channel however has reignited that spark!
Sam is absolutely adorable! The belly, the stash, the glasses... oof, gorgeous 😍. Always a pleasure to see him in your videos. 👀
I love when you visit Sam! You’ve got to get together with him more often. He is amazing with tortoises, and all the information he gives!
That pied was absolutely amazing. Wow imagine a big Asian water monitor that color. So cool
I’m sat here waiting for lobo to make an appearance, I live for these videos, this channel by far is my fave.
Don't worry hell come back very soon. Lobo from my understanding is heading home but first he needs to go through a 5 week training course to learn,adapt and help his family doing the best he possibly can. :)
@@jebVlogs556 yes he’s away being trained, I thought kenan said he was back on the 17th , can’t wait to see him.
Happy Sunday, Kenan! ☺️
Congrats on 715K subs!!!
I absolutely love these videos with Sam and Kenan, you always learn so much from them. Great to see Paul and Sophia getting to hang out at Sam’s place 🤗🐢🤗
I just noticed Adolf’s serrated beak. Wow! That’s really cool. 💜
Around 11 minutes in the video.
this is an awesome video. I love hearing you guys talk about torts, and makes me want to get a galop and/or aldabra more than ever.
Love going to sams place in the videos. Reminds me of going to Fred’s ❤️
Sam has a beautiful German Shepard such great dogs!
Not much of a iguana fan but that last one was so beautiful
My mouth dropped open when I saw that last iguana "high black"? STUNNING!

Big and beautiful and amazing animals
Thank you to his helper as well, he is doing awesome. ✌🍁
You're easily one of my favorite youtuberists.
Sam is such a cool dude! Watching you guys chat is always amazing and educational :)
Awesome video! Thanks. I hope that things work out so that you guys can live your passion and share your experience and knowledge with us all for many years to come.
i find Tortoises and turtles super cute
Love love Sam!
Sam is a legend. I want some descendants of his Basin Yellowfoots and a Bolivian Redfoot I can add to my group one day.
Legend.
One time I was on vacation in Mexico and there were quite a few of those spiny tail iguanas. One who was missing part of its tail stayed close to our building
It was quite friendly … it would pose for pictures.
Info sharing is da best! Makes the world a better place ♥️
Keep up all the great work and videos following your channel is a great part of my day!! Thanks for doing what you do.
Amazing animals!!
Hello great video information Kenan
Keep the awesome videos coming.
Love you and Sam. Great video
This guy is a fountain of knowledge
Love how Paul is just sitting in the background bored af 😂
It looks to me like he's focusing very intently. Maybe you just don't know what that looks like.
Because paul is a clown and one of the youtubers that kenan was just talking about in his last video yet he's on this video.
@@YochevedDesigns I agree,it's very subtle but Paul is listening. He not utilize the knowledge right than and there,however he will use it when the time comes
@@jebVlogs556 why would Paul listen? He hasnt learned how to keep fish alive after all these years through all the failed ponds, tanks, ponds, tanks amd thousands of fish.
Why would he learn sitting there looking like a qiestionmark?
Paul will never learn anything, Paul wants to buy new animals. Not keeping the ones he has alive
Wow never heard of this species. Awesome!!!!!
Are these able to be housed with sulcatas?
did not expect paul to be in the video 🤣
Thank God he's not in it more. He's a prime example of a let collector and youtuber for views.
@@gregory3499 I agree!!!!
Great video as always
#BehemothReptiles
Awesome place you got there.: i’ve got to come out and see it Someday..
This was awesome!
Kenan's Galaps are funny.
You get the feeling they're amused by him!
Then there's that other tortoise (I don't think it's a Galap but it hangs out with the group) that always comes behind Kenan. That's the only that gives me carnivorous vibes! Yeah, don't wear sandals around that one!
Very interesting information!
Awww, how cute is Paul? So nice to see the next generation with stars in their eyes, and such a passion for conservation.
He might be cute, but still the pet tuber that has killed most fish
Paul is a clown, he will never learn how to keep fish alive. His thing is to buy animals, not keeping them alive
@@broman6662 Ewww, I did not know that. I hope he grows up quickly and learns, before anything else dies.

Hi there, just curious when you're getting Lobo back and when we could see him again :)
Funny you should say that...
Hi Sophia!!!!
Woohoo!
Love sam! I bought my tortoise through you, Kenan! #527 is doing great. :) think i may get him or her a friend!
Thought u were putting a link or info to the iguana and reptile place that u were at?? 🐢🐢🐢🐢
Bro do you not know Paul lmaooo 😂😂😂
Very nice 👍👍👍
How I would love to have one of these gigantic tortoises to roam my 2 acres and keep my grass cut!! 🐢 🐢 🐢

Hi Kenan...where's Lobo? That black & white lizard is wicked looking. Looks deadly or like a dinosaur.
Jesus, the Florida keepers and the friends they keep. 🧐
Deer cow horses I was showing my kid probably the same videos your talking about lol
Good video keep it up
Save the best for last man good video
Great way to learn lol I want a removable shell

Always wanted a giant tortious but knew it could never happen so got sulcatas instead 23 years latter still have my girls in my back yard
❤
I can't believe you didn't mention the reticulated pythons that really makes you think on the reptile thing with the island gigantism and dwarfism
10:00
That would be the Anthropocene
Kamp you need one of them pied spiny iguana and t positive albino water monitor
👍
Kenan, how are the Tortoise protected from predators?
😀
👍🏼
Synapsids date back to Permian era 299-251 myo of mammalian-reptiles dominated in last period of Paleozoic era. Also synapsids are related to us.
What about given them more calusim to eat maybe make shell 🐚 more harder 🤔?.
👍👍👍🐢🐢🐢
