My daughter started cracking up at the face you made when you shut the top on the sulcata enclosure. We watched it like 15 times. Love your knowledge and sense of humor!!!
Hi Kenan Thanks for sharing all your information. I like your funny faces, and your sence of humor. I am glad that you found so many eggs. You are a good turtle/tortoise dad. Can't wait to see the new babies, after they hatch. 🐊🦎🐍🐢♥️ Cindy
My yellow foot is in for the winter here in NYC. I used aquascape 45mil liner and covered that with geo textile fabric. Water from a fish tank growing all my plants overflows down to her enclosure filtered thru a stream down into her mini pond I made for her. She swims to the other side and back to her warm insulated box with a zoomed heat mat and leaves I raked from my front yard
The fence is truly beautiful sir. Keep up the hard work Bro. Can’t get enough of ur videos. Ur a role model for so many people n I’m one of em. U really are one of the few TH-camrs that are genuine n put ur animals first.
Hi Kennan! Your my favorite channel. I have no reptiles and don’t want any reptiles. I enjoy watching them and learning about them. I enjoy your love for them.
It was a great video Kenan the longer the better!! Can’t wait till you get the alligators and your place is looking so wonderful! I would love to see aerial shots of your place.
You're having a real-life real-time Easter egg 🥚 hunt you are always so joyful Cannon and that Joy spreads out through the internet and around the world. Thank you for sharing all of that with us. In my next life I am going to find, meet and marry a man just like you!😚😚
You have a unique, beautiful property, all of your animals have different personalities even the same breed! I always watch your videos but I rarely leave a comment! You have a beautiful house, beautiful animals, and it will continuously change year after year! I love watching the kids getting involved, I think Sophia will always love the animals, she is growing and her maturity is a little more than her brother. Boys take a lot more time to mature , I have two sons in their twenties and they are still needing to mature!
Seen an alligator climb a 10 foot fence with ease. Was at my aunts house in Mississippi and her neighbor has a pool with 10foot fence around it. The lizard had no problem climbing the fence to get in the pool.
Love watching your videos Kenan. Specially when you talk about redfoots and cherryheads which i have and i learned so much from you. Keep it up. greetings fro the Philippines 🇵🇭
Love this Kenan. Love to see you do your thing. Yesterday I have asked for some eggs and today you have so many. It's always a blast to se you fo your think. Thank you for your incredible content.. loving it 😍
I love all the animals I love the fencing that you're doing around the property I love that you're staying motive keeping your head up and don't worry about talking for about 30 minutes or an hour we love it slinkees enclosure is the bomb-diggity just stay motivated keep your head up keep doing what you doing looking good man
Thank you. My husband brought home a large sulcata tortoise that my boys have named Ralph. He has grown considerably since we've had him over the last 2 years. Still working on an outdoor enclosure for him. Thanks for the great advice. You have helped me considerably. I do you have kind of embarrassing question. Is it normal for Ralph to constantly attempt to mate with anything he can mount? Thank you Melisa
In the UK we have both outdoor and indoor because its just not hot/warm enough but when it is hot/warm enough we can easily transfer them outside although some do keep them outside all year round but the shelter will clearly be big enough for the tortoise to move around while the tortoise is locked in over the colder months. Mine are mainly indoor tortoises but are out in the hotter/warm months, Tortoise tables are easy to build i built mine my self i used 18mm thick plywood, glued and screwed, Painted in walnut with three coats which is a paint safe for reptiles, I used aquarium sealant. So my table is solid, I would recommend to have the table deep to allow a deep substrate, I use top soil again that is natural therefore say for reptiles, I have plants, a stepping stone which is the basking spot which is also a dome with a heat bulb i dont use any night time heating as my house as insulation so the heat remains within the house rather than escaping, i use a slate for feeding, Two bricks with wood on top which is the den, and a simple large painting tray for the water that is big enough for the tortoise to move around, I use a Arcadia T5 UVB + reflector. But all this is based on a Western Hermanns since this is the only tortoise i keep which is smaller than a typical Hermanns that you mainly see a Western is a sub-species and are slightly smaller although some refer them as dwarf hermanns but the reality is they are Western Hermanns T. hermanni, Unsure how popular the Western Hermanns is in America but in the UK you can find them although they arnt as common as the normal Hermanns and Horsefields ect but i happen to know a breeder that works with them along with other species of tortoise, But all the above is the same for the outside but on a much larger scale and in fact if your garden in secure then you can do what i do which is free roam with a hut/house in the corner where the tortoises retrieve to for the night which is locked.
The very first year when my Cherryhead female started to lay eggs, she would not bother to dig into the ground. She just dropped them while walking. I came out in the yard and found 7 eggs scattered across my entire yard. A year later she got smarter and did the real digging thing.
Looks like a lot of people are looking for extremely detailed care guides, exact temps, how far away the uv should be etc, Kenan seems like just does what works, he doesn’t do exact, it’s just off of experience
He doesn't need exact bc his habitats are outdoors and natural so his care is a lot different than someone who is keeping indoors. I'm sure it hard for him to answer stuff like that bc or this.
Where are you gonna put the fly rivers and other turtles after you take them out of the pond? I love the fly rivers, I hope you get them a nice little spot.
Awsome on the RF eggs!! Where are the turtles going to go from the pond when the Alligators come? Just out of curiosity Florida has Alligators all over. Why not just keep the pond for turtles etc etc?
I live in the PNW. I really want a tortoise. A neighbor has a Sulcata and he says he hibernates in a box for winter. What would you recommend on the smaller size? Love watching your videos
Near the end of the video, doesn’t the tortoise pen flood on that end? Haven’t you cleared out debris from your prior primitive fencing after heavy rain storms? I hope the new fencing doesn’t damn up the rain run off.
I have 4 red foots oldest 31 and she lays outdoors summer time MN. Did not know about the pee pee 2x. Can ya elaborate more on this. Is it also to possibly keep predators away making int stinky??
Hey kenan about a year ago my nan got my a baby sulcata tortoise he/she is doing really well just worried because I live in the UK could u give u and help on how I could give him the best life possible? Thank you so much love you videos ❤
I believe he doesn't because the enclosures of the grown ups are not suitable for babies and the big outdoors are still a little too dangerous for them. That is why he uses those turtle cages and sometimes other cages.
NEED HELP WITH MY RUSSIAN MARGINATED TORTOISE. He’s 6 years old, been inside. Now I’m in the U.K. now in the summer when he’s been outside and it goes just cool, he sulks. He puts his head in his shell And sits in his cave. In the house he seals out the heat and any heat blowers etc. so he’s too big now for a indoor house but I’m worried about putting him outside and him being miserable because he loves the heat. I was thinking of a large chicken coop and using a heat lamp like kenan. However just want to know how they are with U.K. weather? Any help please xxx
Hercules running off towards the palmettos in the background as Kenan speaks is hilarious.
No kidding. I was laughing my ass off! He's like "F-U I'm outta here!"
indeed hahaha!
He wanted those vines Kenan pulled off and put on the ground!!😂
My daughter started cracking up at the face you made when you shut the top on the sulcata enclosure. We watched it like 15 times. Love your knowledge and sense of humor!!!
Does anyone else skip the beginning part to avoid any spoilers? 😂😂 I love Kamp Kenan🥰💞
I didn't know they urinated before and after laying eggs, crazy! Learn something new everyday!😁

The reason for the Geo textile is so the humidity is up to par for her
I love it ❤ when you say, " Guys! Guys!! Check it out guys!"😂
What an oasis!!!..Such an intelligent man!!🥰🥰
Thanks for 30 minutes of AWESOME enjoyed again!!!!!
t Thank you for all your hard work for your babies and us. We Love you Kenan.

Love it, I could watch your backyard all day, so cool xxx
I absolutely LOVE your place there!!! Especially the ponds and waterfalls!! Just listening to the waterfalls is so relaxing!
You offer more information than any others. There is one that shares information also. It is a pleasure to watch.

Loving your content at the moment! Very excited for the gator enclosure build, be a great little series to watch!
Look through the footage, I saw that egg in the open and said to myself, "nah, no way" and there they were 10 minutes later! Incredible!
What a wonderful amount of information. I watch several channels and
This video is amazing, so random and crazy loved it

In my experience the males can try to mate with pretty much anything so it shouldn't really be anything to worry about
@@jacobpospischil thank you. I was just wondering.
it's 11:58 in night and im watching you're video, what a lovely day for me, got my first 1k viwes on my video and ending my day with you're video🔥💕😍👌👍
Nice work! congrats!
Another great Video...Thanks Kenan
My pleasure, Glad you enjoyed it
Great another video, the red foot drinking awesome sight 🥚 👍🧢🚴✨🦖
The red foot tortoises are so pretty! Since they don't get too big that may be a reptile that I'll consider getting in the near future.
You should look into reflectix for insulation as it also reflects both light and heat from the interior lamps. It has an r36 value @ 1/4"
In the UK we have both outdoor and indoor because its just not hot/warm enough but when it is hot/warm enough we can easily transfer them outside although some do keep them outside all year round but the shelter will clearly be big enough for the tortoise to move around while the tortoise is locked in over the colder months.

The skeleton on the hammock cool idea lol. He died from starvation rather then face the gators lol
all the love from scotland love the vids keep them coming
wow epic video and awesome question.. thanks so much
Thanks for watching🤠
That t-shirt you're wearing is so retro and reminds me of the 70s. I just tought you should know that
Thanks Kenan
i love what you do on you channel
Hercules showing love
Ahhh its nothing, I got a 60 miles bike ride this morning. Feeling energized! LMAO
Love this channel ❤

From chilly old UK thank you!
i want some of your baby tortoises you have some of the most healthy tortoises i've ever seen
Looks like a lot of people are looking for extremely detailed care guides, exact temps, how far away the uv should be etc, Kenan seems like just does what works, he doesn’t do exact, it’s just off of experience
People can do their own research. They're bugging Kenan for attention. It's stupid.
reminds me of baking
@@vicaroo001 You do realise that maybe they just want to be sure, since there is a lot of misinformation on the internet right?
He doesn't need exact bc his habitats are outdoors and natural so his care is a lot different than someone who is keeping indoors. I'm sure it hard for him to answer stuff like that bc or this.
@@shleyasunshine6116 exactly my point too
Love Les Stroud!
Kenan the ‘mama tortoise’ 👍🏼
Great stuff man!
Keep up the awesome videos 😊
Where are you gonna put the fly rivers and other turtles after you take them out of the pond? I love the fly rivers, I hope you get them a nice little spot.

that was so cool and yeah do have Qustions want to get my first turtle but dont own witch one is good to start with!
The beard is lookin' good!
Great job on the fence!!
@3:50 haha!! I love ya DJ voice Top 40 Sulcatas FM Radio
Hey Megan u should do a 24 he challenge in your back yard
The survivor man
Les Stroud is a Canadian legend. Survivor Man rules.
Omg loved this vlog!!!! 😍
I got some property in central Florida i plan on making into preserve like yours 🤘🤘🤘
What do you do about fire ants for your tortoises? My young one walks outside but I get concerned about the fire ants that are in the yard.
Great video
We love Les stroud
I live in the PNW. I really want a tortoise. A neighbor has a Sulcata and he says he hibernates in a box for winter. What would you recommend on the smaller size? Love watching your videos
i have to get more redfoots!!!!!!!! thank you sir
Hi kenan
Hi
Love your videos. I'm thinking about a cherry head or red foot. Is it possible to safely ship them to California?
"Tortoises smell really good." Tell me Kenan, what do they smell like? Do they smell like roses and jasmine?
Herc got the lamp HAHAHAH
Near the end of the video, doesn’t the tortoise pen flood on that end? Haven’t you cleared out debris from your prior primitive fencing after heavy rain storms? I hope the new fencing doesn’t damn up the rain run off.
You finished the new fence already ??🤷🏻♂️🤔🤔 on the Red foots
A lady I know has a sulcarra that hybernates each winter in a section place of the basement every Winter.
Good video
I have 4 red foots oldest 31 and she lays outdoors summer time MN. Did not know about the pee pee 2x. Can ya elaborate more on this. Is it also to possibly keep predators away making int stinky??
Hey kenan about a year ago my nan got my a baby sulcata tortoise he/she is doing really well just worried because I live in the UK could u give u and help on how I could give him the best life possible? Thank you so much love you videos ❤
Like Al Capone’s vault
What about the floods in heavy rain in the redfoot enclosure whare you used to have to unclog the leafs will the nee fence be better or worse
Hi Kenan, do You have any desert tortoises ?
When u put the redfoot eggs in the incubator you didn't candle them to make sure the embryo is at the top does that matter??
Where will ur fly river turtle's 🐢 go when you get gators🐊 Kenan?? xx 🇬🇧
I wonder what it would be like to turn about 500' sq indoor area into a space for one Sulcata
👍
Can you make a video of the tortuous eatting fruit n veggies
I'd make that other pond beautiful Clean water clear and make it another African fish pond would be awesome.
I would love a red foot or 2. If you could put your info on here for me would be great!
Kenan do you ever bring the babies out once they've hatched so the mommas can hang out with them
I believe he doesn't because the enclosures of the grown ups are not suitable for babies and the big outdoors are still a little too dangerous for them. That is why he uses those turtle cages and sometimes other cages.
@@laartje24 but just let them hang out a little 🥺
Is there a reason why you dont wipe the dirt off the eggs. Does the dirt ever cause mold.
