For babies mixing doesn’t matter. For your “area specific” enclosures, I’d keep them as you intended and not mix areas of origin. 🐢❤️🐢
Yes
Love the new set up!! I can't wait to see the Aquascape enclosed area for them. I'd say leave the Caiman area as is... I love how it's area specific.
What a legend Sophia is, you guys must be so proud of how dedicated she is to learning and helping around the camp!
Keeping your Plans is usually the Best and at the Same time helps people learn the difference in the turtles and Where they come from... Great Work on the turtle tub Ken !!
I love how you're always evolving the camp! So fun to watch and follow! Hope one day you'll allow some visitors 🥰
Can’t wait to be able to have visitors!
@@KampKenan I would definitely love to visit!!
This is perfect, I am a wildlife rehaber and I sometimes get aquatic turtles that need a little time to heal before they get released back into their wild habitat. Now I can make a better setup for them! 😁
Keep everything as you planned. Do not mix areas of origin.
👍
Im with Anthony on that one bud 👍
Don't mix!! Keep as planned!! Thanks and Happy 4th of July!!
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 💓💓
I think the baby turtles would be much happier in the caiman enclosure. That way they have fresh running water, plants, & freedom from being confined to that tub their whole life. Have a great Holiday Weekend!
@@KampKenan couldn’t they go in the front ponds?
Can’t wait to see the construction of the new baby turtle pond and enclosure! Keep up the good work, and keep following your great instincts when planning!
Morning kenan
happy early 4th. Thank for all you do and loving reptiles.
🙏🤠
Love the recent time lapse addition it’s like spending more time hanging out with you and all your up to, and as always nothing fake just a dude and his critters loving life👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Baby turtle pond! OMG, that sounds so adorable.
That’s so freaking cute that Sophia is walking around with her lil pink headphones feeding the animals lol
Still watching the video, keep them in tub & wait for AquaScape. I love how everyone is separated by species, also helps for when we get turtles of our own, we can come back & see what you did ;)
If you think the turtles will be better off in the larger enclosure, put them in with the caiman temporarily. You can always move them somewhere else later.
I think the turtles might still be "snack size".
I say keep it separate. I think having separate habitats based on the continent the species comes from is more educational and realistic than just combining them. Maybe for a short while, but otherwise I think keeping South America with South America is better.
Sophia going to take over ❤. Bless your lovely family K
It doesn’t matter what we as humans find more aesthetically pleasing. In my opinion it’s all about the animals and I believe they would have a better quality of life living with the caiman. They have more space to roam around, fresh running water and a lot more enrichment 🤷🏼♀️
I would say keep it the way you planned. If anything put the small turtles in Slinky's old pond area. You know the problem with the outside standpipe like that is that it won't work as your surface skinner anymore ...
Keep as planned right now and let’s make a new pond for the baby turtles 🐢.
Your doing an awesome job.
Xoxo 😘 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢
That’s hilarious. As soon as you said you were going to change the “pond” to something temporary I thought of the Rubbermaid 300 gallon. Then you brought out the 150. Those are great tubs. I used them for my horses. Oh! To drink out of, they didn’t quite fit into them.
GREAT video demonstrating the use of a Rubbermaid stock tank and the Aquascape faux logs & hide! Easy construction for practical use with pleasing aesthetics! thanks, Kenan !
mate Sofía is a great example of how education can motivate kids
Those Rubbermaid stock tanks are much better quality then the waterland tubs.
So strong🤠
I know you will do like always...whats best for the animals. One day when you're all set up to show a completed zoo with a great small turtle exhibit you'll have an even better enclosure!
Keep things as they are but cant wait to see the new baby turtle pond, thats a great idea...
I think you should follow your plans, you wanted them separate so leave it that way, I think if you mix them it's going to bug you in time. Love the new tub set up for the baby turtles! Quick, simple and cute.
That little snapper is so cute!
I think putting the turtles together, temporarily or permanently, is a fine idea. They don’t have to be separated by region to thrive because you create such amazing habitats for them that has everything they need to live amazing lives at the Camp.
Good luck Kenan. I know whatever you decide to do will be amazing for us and the turtles. Can’t wait to see the new covered pond when it’s completed. ☺️💕
You should have a small turtle/nursery pond that is just for your smaller ones. That way they have a pond, not just a tub, and can have the freedom to move around.
These are the reasons an aquaponics system/s are so usefull.
In place of constantly needing water it's diverted to a planter box with an automatic bell syphon to flush back into the holding tank...
Keeping it clean and crystal clear just like your ponds.
It's cheaper, has more beneficial bacteria, pays you back in green's and is more oxygenated....
I like the idea of the enclosures being regional
Make observation decks above the pens so you can look down into them :) makes it better to observe them
Build a shelf up one of those formed ledges. Turtles could swim under for shade. Go up on shelf to bask.
LOVE THE IDEA OF A NURSERY POND!!
Great to see you young lady taking so much interest don’t you think 😀
Since you're planning on a dedicated turtle pond eventually and the caimans aren't a danger to them, I think it would make the turtles happier if you put them in with the caimans temporarily. (More spaces to explore.)
Whatever you want sir. We are along for the ride but its your journey
Wow your beard grows fast!
Always do what's best for the turts, you can always make changes when needed.
I know.....it was, what, 3 days ago that he was clean-shaven?!
I love that while I’m glad she had hear earphones on no harm no foul lol 😂
I love seeing all the life going on in camp Kenan. Much love and God bless.
Thank you Kennan . I trust your. Ppl on. Love you and your Beautiful babies
Hope when the tub is auto filling or when heavy rains come that there isn’t a problem with fish getting flushed out thru the drainage tube
Good to see the youngsters get some camera time. :) When it comes to mixing the turtle regions together... I say stick to the original plan buddy! That little Snapper had a very cool and detailed looking shell!
Good morning everyone!! 🐢🐢🐢🐢
Kenan. I am actually doing the same thing for my pet turtle. I'm turning a 150 gallon water trough into a turtle pond for during the summer
I’m upgrading my african sidenecks to a bigger tub soon, got some great idea’s from this video!!
I love turtles 🐢
So amazing !
I'd put in the bigger enclosure just bc you can
But bigger environment an safety, is more important also !!
Whichever you choose it will be good 👍
I do agree that it's nice to see animals kept with other animals of similar origins though it wouldn't effect how I felt about the kamp! I come from a biotope/biotype background so I love seeing dedicated setups to a certain region, even down to the plants and all. Seeing a simulated environment that could very well be seen in the wild is incredible!
P.s. I've been trying to get ahold of one of Fred's snapper hybrids since the first video you made saying to contact him on Facebook with no success. Do you know if there are any still available? To raise one of his babies would be an honor
Maybe try to find his grand daughter thats in the other videos... Think her name is brooke. Or try emailing Kenan for a contact..
Keep everything as planned!
new pond for them greg does great work
I Agree. Keep to Your plan. By the time You spend Money and Effort on making the Caiman safe for them You may have the other one done for Your Original ideas. I don't know if I explained it right. But You do what You think is Best for them and You..
Hey, I love the camp the way you have it, so I think you should keep the Centrals and Asians separate. I think that creates a good learning environment for the viewers.
Having a "mixed" baby turtle area i think would be great. I REALLY love your idea of creating a whole little baby pond/sanctuary/nursey for them!
Don’t mix, please. Also, is there a screen on the overflow opening in the tub? Because the fishes could swim into it and fall to the ground. This could bring predators to the area and they could go after the turtles.
🎯🎯🎯
It would be great to have a little ponds ape for your little ones. I can’t wait to see what you do.
Keep it as you have pland, and wait for the new enclosure. Follow always your first idea instead when the moment decide it must be like that. But if it can wait I would wait.
Can you give us a video, maybe when things slow a bit, on how to build a tortoise enclosure that would
be used in the house for those of us who can’t keep them outside year around? That’s be amazing! Thanks in advance 👍🏼
Do whatever u need that best for them and u x
Keep everything locality based. So you can keep it like stepping into a different part of the world with each enclosure
You have to think about what's best for the turtles, what's going to make them the happiest. And Imo they would be a lot happier in the caiman enclosure for now. That way they're not confined just to that tub, they can swim around and enjoy the nice flowing fresh water & if they so choose, they can even come out of the water & bask on land, something they've never been able to do since birth. Think happy, happy little turtles. Have a great Holiday Weekend!
Edit: I'm still watching at 8:00 doesn't look like they'll have much room to swim with the logs there. Or is it just me?
It would be awesome for the turtle pond if you had a little viewing window to be able to see them
If you plan on putting guppies in there, you may want to screen off the overflow so they don't get drained out... 😁
I simply love what you do
Looks great! It’s almost like you’re an expert at creating habitats 😂👍🏻
Hmm I think I'd say separate. It'd be cool to see both species comfortably interacting amongst themselves and enjoying a habitat more specific to their own native region (or they could be similar? I don't know myself!)
i like your original idea of keeping it like a zoo
Hey bud, I know that with all of the theft and crap that has been going on down there with the herp guys in Florida I definitely think that it's a good idea to not show how or where you're keeping her, but I was just wondering how Angel the albino sulcata is doing these days lol?!
Truly enjoyed this video! Great seeing your turtle setup! I see nothing wrong with putting the turtles together, why not?!
Being a former zoo keeper, I like keeping species of same locale together too but I thought you said your animals in caiman pond were from different locales in Latin America anyway so why not? It’s only temporary and the well-being of the turtles as well as ease of maintenance should be paramount at this time.
In my opinion as long as you check on the turtles often (which I'm sure you already do) and no problems arise, then it's completely fine to mix them. Different parts of the world sure, but if they have the same habitat/nursery requirements, then why not
Finished watching the video, great job as always :)
I love this set up.
Keep it as you planned. You must have put a lot of thought into it.
Keep it the way you originally planned it. Also, that beard grow really fast.
Keep it the way you have it
I think if the goal is to be somewhat public, visitors other than friends & fam, you need to keep it by region. Otherwise, instead of the exhibition providing exposition/background information, it would need explanation. Your place is so perfect, no matter how it's organized 💕 lovelovelove the baby snapper
I appreciate your plan to respect area of origin
As always personal preference and necessity will play the biggest role in that decision on your end, but my opinion is that you should keep things as you planned. Which I assume is going to be “biotype” exhibits showcasing a replicated slice of an area of origin for whichever species. I love what you do brotherman keep at it!
Thanks for the video 🙏🏿 god bless you
I think they should have their own pond
Looks good to me. Same thing I got👍
You grew back your beard Quick! Mine takes at least 2 weeks 😂
Grew a full beard in two days 🤣🤣 👍👍 great video kenan
Kenan, go for the temporary solution that is easiest in Caiman Creek. They’re your animals, and they will be okay. All good in my opinion buddy.
Yeah you can temporarley put them with the caiman and yellow spotted turtles
Good afternoon looking so great
I think the caiman may become (even moderately) disturbed every time a new animal is added. They are trying to settle in so I'd leave the fauna the same for a long time and only add more caves to the caiman enclosures. Otherwise, leave their enclosures be so they can settle in to their new homes.
That beard grew back fast ;)
Wow your beard and stach’ grew back fast 😜🤣🤣
Could they go in the big rec pond for now? Or would the bigger turtles pick on them? It just everyone else has big enclosures and they all have to go in that 300 gallon together. Just wondering, you obviously know way more than I.
I think keep them with their own area as you originally planned. Not that it would really matter. But as you said, a zoo-like atmosphere.
Happy to see the beard. Last video was shocking! So I'm guessing this was filmed before the shave.
If the caiman won't bother them, then I could see you making the water pond larger and putting different turtles in there.
Love seeing the turtles, especially babies. Looks like a cool setup! Where can I get those tubs?
Just about any hardware store, like Home Depot or Ace Hardware. Hope that helps. Have a great Holiday Weekend!
I love the idea of making enclosures with animals of the same habitats and origin. Please do not mix asian with american or other area. Love from Argentina
What ever you think is best.
Yes, put the little guys in with the camen.
Mixing them won’t hurt but it is better to keep to your plan. Imo
I don’t mind you mixing the turtles. Just give them a happy home it’s all that really matters.
Same, I think they'd be a LOT happier in the nice big pond with Lucifer. That way they're not confined to just that tub, they'll have the freedom to move around & they can even go on land & bask if they want. They would be so so so much happier in the ponds.
I think keep them separate. Love this channel! Oh, and I'm really missing Lobo!
