I love this video! A lot of people don’t know how to treat fungus on their turtles. I just treated tail rot on a bearded dragon I rescued recently. It can be a scary thing for beginners who are raising reptiles.
Fun fact -- Kenan's relationship with the red foots and cherry heads has NEVER been the same since those tortoises watched the Prequel Trilogy! They tolerate the "Jedi scum" (their caretaker and his Padawan, Matt!) but are still eager to follow the example of their idol, Darth Maul, and overthrow the Kamp fence! Too bad no one told the red foot clan that small LED flashlights do not make good lightsaber substitutes!
Love how you explain that in the adults, it’s not as much of a concern. This is just something that comes along with keeping animals in enclosures, even when they are outdoors. It’s not that these illnesses don’t occur in the wild, but they spread more easily in captivity. Great methods of treatment and I like the minimalist approach with the adults, only treating as needed.
So true about the wild. Captuve bred and raised tortoises; most of them will survive from egg to adult. In the wild you're lucky if only 80-90% die and you get 20-30%making it.
Question Kenan: Should you have giving them some new dry substrate? I'm just curious, because it seems if they got the fungus from their substrate being too wet.
SCUD is not caused by a fungus, it is primarily caused by a bacteria (which is why the more common, modern name for this is usually broadly called bacterial dermatitis, for all reptiles, among other names like ulcerative shell disease). Fungus is usually only secondary, need to treat it with antibiotics, not just anti-fungal cream. Vet manuals usually recommend antibiotics and topical iodine treatments for this reason. (It is also extremely rare in tortoises, usually only in turtles)
Not really 😅cause you are applying only a miniscule amount on your turtle friends: silver sulfadine, petroleum jelly, or even for people have skin growth of what medical condition of Cartine "the hardness of skin" you basically end with rhino or elephant-like texture of skin. It's mostly 😅with people who with diabetes or very bad skin blood flow. Ammonium lactate, comes in white bottom with a blue/red label similar to "silver sulfadine" but with ammonium lact- you rub it on the infected area and wrap with Gauzes(you can buy it at the 99c cent stores,dollar general,family dollar,dollar tree and it's about $1 for the gauzes. You can just grab your turtle buddy up,and they can go about their day with everyone else
Hi kenan Those little cherry heads are adorable. It's good that you check out your tortoises every day. I am glad the he fungus is easy to gently scrape it off, and can add some inexpensive cream for feet fungus, or get a cream from a vet that treats tortoises. Make sure that their enclosure is not to wet, from the rain. Nice to know that you can put some petroleum jelly on the fungus on the shells of the adult toroises. Loved this video. You talked about such important treatment for fungus on tortoises. And that people who own tortoises should give them a good check out every day, for any problems. Love your channel,came all of your reptiles. Cindy
Random thought but would something like a toothbrush not be beneficial for scrubbing vs metal tools? I've only had a Red ear slider before but used brush for his shell while shedding or to clean algea off him.. just curious as I do know tortoise and turtles are different and maybe being a dry species, it's a dryer and harder fungus to remove than algaes
I applied petroleum jelly once in a while to my sulcatas. Thx for the knowledge Keenan, now I know that we can prevent this to happen by applying them regularly.
Silver sulfadiazine is an excellent topical antibacterial my MD has actually prescribed to me. It’s used primarily as an antimicrobial/antibacterial and for 2nd/3rd-degree burns. It’s a sulfa drug that has silver salts in suspension, I had no idea it had an application in herp husbandry. You bestow a plethora of knowledge upon us poor plebs! Those instruments you’re using are actually dental tools and can be purchased online through medical supply outlets (just fyi.) Oh yeah, btw; a “schmear” refers to the cream cheese not the Nova. You’ve been away from NY too long buddy! 😂
@@KampKenanbrother Kenan: if I don't have any Silver sulfadine. Can I use Ammonium lactate as a replacement? From my understanding it works very similar 🤠
@@danielled8665 I heard that Eastern Box Turtles are actually invasive in certain UK forests now. People used to pay HUGE amounts to import them. Europe has far fewer native turtle/tortoise species than the US.
@davidvento5481 yeah they are more tolerant of lower temperature and higher humidity. Issue is people getting them and not keeping them in secure enclosures, or releasing them when they get bored. People need to be better educated about animal care and responsibility, rather than prohibited. If they're both invasive and common, sounds like a good time to go for a nice walk in the woods with a box.

Brilliant content 😊 what would be a cool random video idea is do a quiz for Matt on reptiles to see how much he has learned from you kennan 😊😊😊
Cool idea!
I AGREE, THAT WOULD A GREAT VIDEO
That pond at the end of the video is awesome. All the tortoises are adorable. I love how you keep everything outside.
The new video style is super cool but I think the Patreon members frame needs a restyle, it kinda looks like it’s been made on MS Word 2003
I would change all their bedding as well. Any molds or bacteria could make things worse.
For the red foot cherry heads

Thanks Mary, you are right!
Nice to see the little ones being treated. I noticed that fungus several videos ago. These little guys are so cute!!

#kampharkin wassup man 🤠
Fungus problem you say? That humidity is causing it.. and I'm glad you are taking the time to clean it up 😅
Thanks, guys, for the up-close look at Tortoise care.... and the Pond is looking so much better.
👍🤠

What’s the email for the baby tortoises to buy? Also, I’m local, could I come there, so my kids could pick one out?
I can wait to find eggs in my enclosure
Wow a palet with wheels under enclosure
Question Kenan: Should you have giving them some new dry substrate? I'm just curious, because it seems if they got the fungus from their substrate being too wet.
Great video. Can we see a follow-up in a week or two to see how they are healing?
Electric Toothbrush on such fungus stains. And some childsafe toothpaste.
Lil guy done put his food down like bro ur killing me stop it thats my fungus u can't take it no
Awesome stuff. I wish you would do more videos like it since many of us don't have a reptile specific doctor close. Thank you sir. 💪🏻
That shot of the turtle swimming was just.... dude, it was beautiful.

Hi Kenan, I have a question. Would it be harmful if any of those remedies got on the food that they walked over on and they ingested it ?

@@jebVlogs556 ok. Thanks
Hope that is a thrill seeking turtle cuz it just got a really good thrill ride, turtle coaster Kenan! Not to mention you tickling him, lol.
Thanks for sharing on how to fix that problem.

A special day at the beautician’s for the little golden nuggets at the kamp,just awesome 👍💯🖖
Change out those wood chips,
That sulfadine cream is great for burns an other stuff on humans to
A.U.K.K. Always Upvote Kamp Kenan!

Buy some floating plants from Blake,. I think he got lots of it.
It will just become turtle food. He could collect Water Hyacinth, there’s no shortage in Fla.
I dont think Kenan gonna mind it. And he can grow it so he got tons of it later, after all he got the right place for those plants.
Another great informative video guys, thank you. Have a great weekend Kenan, Matt and everyone in the comments ❤
You too! Thanks for watching!
This was great! I have used some coconut oil on my red foot. Isn't it suppose to be a good antibacterial?
not sure but that's interesting
Could it turn to shell rot?
it's possible, but not really a risk if you are on top of it

Soooo... they got torty athlete's... "shell"?
Hmmm, I thought you'd use Turtle Wax. Wax on, wax off!
Thank you! That’s great to know!
Great content! What type of kit (tools) are you using?
where can I buy a baby cherry head to go with my red foot baby
What if they have fungus on their skin.
Put copper headings or 1 inch copper pipe parts in a mesh bag a handful or two will clear up your pond in a few days.l from algae
You're brilliant Mr. Kenan!!! have a great weekend!!!!!!!!
So much great information. Thanks Kenan.
Ducks amogus
Kenan two questions! Is this something my box turtles could get? And how do I contact you about purchasing babies?
What happens if it in their front legs but looks deep n oozing liquid
Im butchering the word but Silver sulfidene* is life saving for burns! #oldmedicine
Fan on the cage and substrat?
The draft might not be healthy.
Very informative video. Great job guys!
Thanks so much!
Fungus? Why would you offer them for sale?
he makes sure they're healthy before he ships them
Love the title! Very informative and its good news it can be easily treated!
Hi Matty!!!
I don't know man, seeming sus lately
1000000 subs by christmas !!!
How do red foots do In UK
Great indoors. And maybe out on hot days. Consider box turtle?

I have alot of silvadene cream around 15+ unopened tubes. it will probably go to waste.
