I think all of the work you put into the encloseres is great. Perfection doesn't matter. As long as it works is all that matters. We all learn as we go along. ❤🐢🦎🐍
Okay time for me to admit something. When I was eleven I got a baby red eared slider as a Christmas present. I am 23 now and amazingly she's still alive. I say it's amazing she is still alive because I did basically everything wrong for YEARS. I am now studying to be a vet tech and I've since learned about the importance of researching about pets. I'm hoping these videos ( among other credible resources) will help me to fix my many mistakes with my turtle. I'm lucky red eared sliders are tough.
I have built a underground shelter for my iguana's and Monitors by digging a 5 foot hole 5 feet wide 8 feet long and lining it with concrete and a epoxy resin lining to make it waterproof and also works as a insulation with a wood and corrugated metal hatch with a sloping roof running to lower ground for rain run off. This protects them from projectiles during a hurricane. Been through 2 hurricanes with it and it worked really well with no flooding. Love Kamp Kenan and the thought he put into everything,
Kennan you're a legend among man!! THANK YOUU- I have been paitainlty WAITING for a descriptive video on how you've constructed your shelters!! P.s- & I've learned SOO much just from this 20min video due too your way of perfectly explaining things!!
A possible idea for the house that floods is to dig down inside where the water pools and put a sump pump with a float valve in the hole then put a grate over it you can then run the hose outside and away from the house.
I've already said this but freaking love iguanas, i had one but im afraid it died. Now thinking about it i think it was because over heating it. This has helped me with my DIY project i could hopefully start on my free times.
I enjoy your videos tremendously. I have no reptiles but I've always enjoyed them when I had the chance. I stumbled upon something yesterday that may be of use to you or anyone making enclosures. Straw houses that people actually live in. May want to look into that and adapt it to making enclosures. Most people don't use AC in summer and very minimal heat in winter. They star from what I've read has a insulation factor close to or above r-60, and the plaster used keeps weather out and temp inside stable. Not trying to say your shelters aren't good just trying to give ideas.
Do you ever consider redesigning the concrete shelter so that it won't be so much of a drag cleaning it? Like elevating the inside floor so that water will not accumulate and thus no need for vacuuming; and perhaps making a lid so that you don't have to crawl in? It looks awesome but with some change, it may make your life a little easier. The log-looking hideaway for the snake is absolutely stunning!! What a smart idea!!
I really wanted to hear more about the actual enclosure. Is it made of square aluminum tubing or is it a welded steel frame? What kind of wire are you using? What material is that around the bottom? What do you prefer for roofing? How much of the tip do you usually cover?
You display several creative ideas of how to build an enclosure. I can heat it, but was wondering if you or any of your viewers can steer me to a method of using a thermostat, and a monitoring system that will alert me if a heater fails or electricity is lost. I live in Oklahoma. Also dirt floor or insulated for Sulcattas (2 sixty pounds each) Joe O
Hey Kenan, would you do a video hibernating box turtles? I have watched every video on you tube on the subject and I would like to hear from a pro. I'm nervous as hell because winter is coming and I have never hibernated my turtles before.
Do you ever have baby cuban rock iguanas from Lola. I lost my Cuban male when I left him with a family member while on vacation ( still don't know exactly what happened). He was the best iguana or lizard I have ever owned. I miss him terribly and I really want to get a new one now but they are hard to find.
O M G I always thought you are wonderful but now you have turned into a wonderful artist I am not joking I think you are remarkable Thanks again for a GREAT video Barbra U K X X X
Hi Kenan, I love the vids. I think your enclosures and shelters are amazing, I am curious to know how come the shelters for the lizards are bare bottom ? ...I assume that they are just a wooden bottom. Why wouldn't want to use a substrate of some sort ? .. ( as in astro turf or hay or a rock ) .
Yagya Dave ---> IM thinking that since its a temporary hide/shelter thenn that would just be a waste of materials/efforts!!?? I HAVE NOOO IDEA HAHAHAHA* I DOES MAKE ME QUESTION/WONDER THOUGHH!!!
The temp are used for mainly keeping heat for emergencies.. wood is a better insulator than dirt and also since like he said the ants will use any type of substrate in the hide to make a home due to its attraction to the insulation material.
I love these two lizards, but I was thinking instead of a big square white boxwhy don't you get those fake rocks that can be glued to the side to make it look more realistic
My granddaughter ran over a baby box turtle and clipped the tip of his/her foot I have had her for 6/7 mo. and it is eating worms, mealworms, and loves dead minnows. if it dont cost too much , i can't let her go because of her foot it has healed up.
um Kenan I hope everything will be alright if i am correct they should hatch in october also plz tell me they will be at the December reptile show the 1st and second also plz sell one or two there
Hats off to you for putting the proper care for your family
I think all of the work you put into the encloseres is great. Perfection doesn't matter. As long as it works is all that matters. We all learn as we go along. ❤🐢🦎🐍
Very clever ideas for hides/shelters. Thanks for the ideas. It's always best to do diy because then you can make it just like you like

Kenan that foam shelter is legit! I've made some myself, really easy and cheap

masskilla469 that sounds great actually
I live in the tropics here in south east asia, perfect for reptiles... 😊.. I have 4 torts and 1 civet cat.. I like your chanel sir,
Been waiting for someone to go into detail about shelters. Thank you
Kennan you're a legend among man!!
THANK YOUU-
I have been paitainlty WAITING for a descriptive video on how you've constructed your shelters!!
P.s- & I've learned SOO much just from this 20min video due too your way of perfectly explaining things!!
It was informative. Thanks Kenan.

I need to get some plans for some snake racks and a iguana cage thanks for these ideas :)
Just 5seconds into today's video and I am already soo excited hahaha!!
CAN'T WAIT-
I've already said this but freaking love iguanas, i had one but im afraid it died. Now thinking about it i think it was because over heating it. This has helped me with my DIY project i could hopefully start on my free times.
Your Iguanas are so amazing. :)
Thanks Kenan

EXCELLENT episode!
Great video buddy very cool to see.

Green Kitty ---> Kinda hard too change a sement lid into a wooden one lol.
BUT it's good idea for the next time he makes a SIMALAR shelter!!
Great episode!

Can you do some videos about how to deal with climates like in Britain? Specifically looking at turtles
Hey Kenan, would you do a video hibernating box turtles? I have watched every video on you tube on the subject and I would like to hear from a pro. I'm nervous as hell because winter is coming and I have never hibernated my turtles before.
My question of course is how you got those things wired? Do you just have leads going to them or is there something else going on there?
What size is the stanfield heat pad? In the rhino iguana shelter.
Kenan you gotta come to the bronx zoo somrtimes man!
Do you ever have baby cuban rock iguanas from Lola. I lost my Cuban male when I left him with a family member while on vacation ( still don't know exactly what happened). He was the best iguana or lizard I have ever owned. I miss him terribly and I really want to get a new one now but they are hard to find.
Ive been waiting for this episode!
Alec Hernandez haven't we all
Hey, I'm looking to build an indoor iguana enclosure. Do you haveany recommendations on what I should do?
Im also thinking of building a indoor and outdoor Enclosure for my red iguana that i was given he is about 3 feet long.
Who else seen the wild lizard on the enclosure at 6:10
it might be an anole
Tyler Maybush --> I'm not gonna lie, I did, & I got excited haha
I'm also surprised kennan did not point him out either, He usually does!!
Tyler Maybush I didn't notice till I went back and watched for them. 1 on the rock & 1 up on the little platform. ☺
Yes i did But its a gecko
6:10-6:25
How do you feel about keeping Angulates indoors?
O M G I always thought you are wonderful but now you have turned into a wonderful artist
I am not joking I think you are remarkable
Thanks again for a GREAT video
Barbra U K X X X
Kenan, what are the dimensions for Jackie and Slinks' habitat. Is Guapo and Lola's the same size?

The temp are used for mainly keeping heat for emergencies.. wood is a better insulator than dirt and also since like he said the ants will use any type of substrate in the hide to make a home due to its attraction to the insulation material.
Hey Kenan could you do a video about the black pond turtle
Hi Kenan Espanola belongs to Galapagos Archipelago which are located on opposite side of south America to Caribbean :)
In the iguana pen there is a lizard on the side of the shelter
Did you put Jackie back in with slinky? Is that going to be safe??
