You were 💯 about keeping turtles from eating waterlilies. I’ve utilized that method growing lotus in half pickle barrels sunken just to the rim. I also drilled 2” circular holes above the soil level to increase water circulation. Cultivated waterlilies and lotus don’t like very deep water and grow poorly below a couple feet deep. I’m sure the pond builders took that into account with ledges for planting as they need to be fairly marginal around the shallower areas of Kenan’s rec pond. He doesn’t have any waterfowl so it’d work. I’m sure the pond builders took that into consideration and left ledges for planting. 👍🏻
Blake takes good care of his animals. He once made the novice mistake of leaving the first clutch of Wood Duck ducklings in the aviary and they quickly became food for the aquatic turtles. However, Blake learns from his mistakes unlike some other creators.
That was perfect Matt when you cleared your throat as if to say um excuse me lol you are a big part of the channel and are doing great and get excellent shots and I love it when you ask kenan questions because most of the time they are the same questions I have that get answered right away, and this was another great video!
I love these collapse when you visit other RUclipsrs and breeders! I gotta say it ceacks me up Blake is in shorts and a tshirt and Kenan all covered up
Blake seems like a good dude who cares about his animals. Originally, I thought he was a just RUclipsr first ... but watching his channel, he does love his animals first and foremost.
Yeah with me it's the other way around, I started watching him when he first started then it became obvious that it was pretty much animal hoarding for views and then I completely stopped watching and unsubscribed, to each their own but it just feels weird or wrong to me. Ask yourself if it weren't for a RUclips channel, views, and money would he originally have and bought all those animals working a regular job and living a normal life, in my opinion 99% chance he wouldn't have.
@@BajatheChickenMan dude his whole family is involved with the well being and care of the animals: when he's editing videos or running errands which Blake does a lot of his mother isn't afraid to go feed the otters(which are the most dangerous of his exotic animals) apart from the casseoires aka the mini ostrich which (can kick and peck you to death btws) but his mother is out there every single day.. and his dad is out there building fence post and fence lines. The girlfriend is going around again when Blake isn't there to personally check on all the animals.. Matt does the same thing when kenan isn't around and off doing an errand or two.. no one of these animals are poorly taken care of ..they seem very robust,fat and healthy.. even the ducks and Roosters are healthy and not in cages Mind you 😞🤔😒☝️
@@jebVlogs556 Kenan's facility looks a lot different and his animals all appear to have adequate space with a concentrated focus on Tortoises. Blake looks like the typical backyard zoo owner buying whatever exotic animal he can and stuffing into a cage. Just because you can doesnt mean you should. But morals aren't laws so you get people like him. And otter's need far more space than that tiny enclosure its not rocket science.
Love Blake's place, he really puts his heart and soul into everything, so thank you Kenan for the tour, look forward to part 2. Happy New Year everyone!
Hi Kenan Thanks for sharing your trip to Blake's Exotic Animal Ranch. Such beautiful birds in his Aviary. Kenan loves to see all of his turtles. I look forward to see more videos at Blake's Ranch with Kenan. Cindy
I really gotta get over myself and check out Blake's channel. For whatever reason, in my head, I have him lumped in with the cufaros, bingos, finatics, and raww fishing knuckleheads of the RUclips world and he really is more like you. He doesn't just keep animals to get clicks. He clearly loves his collection. That aviary is BANANAS!!!
18:24 I love this species of Iris bird. Omfg it been running around after Matt,Kenan and Blake since the start of the camera rolling😞. This bird has to be the marge version of kamp kenan😲... and thing doesn't like camera either 🤣😂.. see this is the bird will eventually trip Matt on purpose and start pecking on Matt on him and camera lens 😲😅😄🤣😂
There are some aspects of aviculture that are very similar to herpticultire and others that are very different. The caiman in Caiman Creek would really limit the types of birds he could keep. Waterfowl and ground dwelling birds wouldn’t be suitable. Most birds would be at risk when they’d come down to drink/bathe. Small, agile birds that are upper canopy dwellers would stand the best chance of surviving although many would fit through the chain link fence. Also, the netting would need to continue to the ground.
Yes, absolutely right, the caiman would wipe out all ground dwelling birds or waterfowl. But there are tons of species to mix together and it doesn't need to be the caiman creek. He could also work out an aviary with just birds, fish and turtles. Since I'm from Belgium I'm unknowing to the exotic species on the legal market in the US. Btw caiman creek would need to much adjustments for it to be able to keep birds, just like you said.
Canon, how dare you forget Matt and Tom. much love to Matt and Tom for all the good work they do to help you around the camp and to make these videos. And how dare you forget how long you've been married to Kate She is gonna smack you for that one. your wedding day and year should be a remembers of the best day of your life. And it's great that you finally take care of her honeymoon. Don't worry about us viewers while you're there if you make a video or two that's fine But don't focus all your time on the videos and the animals. you're there for a honeymoon
Hi Kenan! I live in Arizona near tucson. Very arid weather. I had acquired a few breeding pairs of yellow foots. I had to rehome them to someone with a green house. My vet explained to me that their mucus membmembranes were drying up in their nose and made a whistle sound. Unfortunately I can’t keep certain species here just too dry. I do great with leopards though
Glad that you visited Blake. He is a positive influence not like Paul Cuffaro who is under investigation for animals "mysteriously " disappearing on his "farm"..
I like these vids but when you watch all the same south Florida RUclipsrs and live 20 minutes from Kennan, Caufarro, Tyler, and Stone, they kind of get repetitive.
Sometimes it's hard to watch some of you guys living these dreams because it's a very small percentage of ppl that get to. Many of us gave the dreams, but circumstances past or present, too many laws, priorities and so forth don't allow it. Great to see your vids, but makes it hard to go to office jobs the next day.
The thing that seperates Kenan & Blake from everyone else on RUclips is their actual love for all these animals!! What people don't know about Blake is he used to do ALL of this EVERYDAY BEFORE RUclips when he got home from work. Yes he has been doing this a long time but does it cause this has always been his passion & he is very serious!! At 12-13 yrs old I was running the streets drinking doing dr*gs at night causing havoc, I was also a product of my environment. Here you have Kenan who is raising his kids around this & Blake who is raising his son in this & I think it's the coolest way to grow up!! You guys have all my support!!! Kenan you & Blake are so alike it isn't funny & I love seeing you 2 geek out together cause you both get so excited about the same things!!! Blake doesn't get nearly the accolades he deserves for what he has done, he not just a young kid doing RUclips for the fun, this is something he has immersed his whole life & family into!!
Not all birds make it to Blake’s spoiled rotten menagerie. I quit following him once he got quails. Yes, mass breeding is vital to keeping your pets fed. But he is an accomplished RUclipsr . Doesn’t matter how short their lives are, there’s got to be a way to house them other than in flat wire trays stacked 6 deep with chicks .
Paul Cafaro does the same crap. his recent video he bought a ton of damsels. he did not quarantine them and the tank he tossed the fish in is full of algae and crap.
Barely watch these channels anymore because of what in my opinion is animal hoarding for views, especially this dudes place. Before anyone comes with their opinions also, ask yourself would he have this many animals if it weren't for a RUclips channel and views, there's like a 99% chance that he wouldn't. Just my two cents, just feels wrong.
@@Mothobius Zoo's require a full staff of knowledgeable handlers and a medical team. Not some youtube kid and his family. Support whatever you want free country, I just think Blake is an animal hoarder and a fame chaser.
Man I didn't start watching this until I realized Blake kept quails for feeder birds. His set up is so flipping perfect. Good on ya mate keep up the good work. My snakes aren't big enough to order from you yet but when they are ill hit you up. ❤
Great time having you stop by the ranch!
great to see you two, thanks for the awesome content! Happy New Year Blake!
Really funn to see you and Kanan together and talking about all the animals

@blakesexoticanimalranch gotta have the slides on in the winter for sure, just gotta keep the toes warm with socks. I love it bro hahaha

Eeek! Kenan at Blake’s! I ❤❤❤ it! I REALLY enjoy seeing these collaborations with you FL content creators.

@@DarisHolt thx lol
Blake is a prime example of plenty of money and not enough sense.
@@caughtafaygohow’d you come to this conclusion? Or are you just talking shit
Yay! Thank you!
Love Blake's place, he really puts his heart and soul into everything, so thank you Kenan for the tour, look forward to part 2. Happy New Year everyone!

Chandler has really matured over the past few years. It would be nice if they could sit down and talk it out.
🤣🤣🤣Every time you go to Blake's you end up imagining and planning your own aviary, love it! 😂
Love seeing two of my favorite creators collab! Thanks
Love watching the enthusiasm between you and Blake!!! Great video!!
I do love it when you Florida guys visit each other :)

I want Aviaries like that.

Defiantly 2 of the biggest turtle/tort nerds i follow :)
My 2 favorite tubers together!
great video and to see you two, thanks for sharing the amazing aviary tour. Happy New Year Kenan!
My question would be, how does the aviary net hold up to the weather in Florida? Tropical storms/hurricanes etc.
not sure about storms since we haven't had a ny major ones recently, but so far so good
Black has taken amazingly good care for his animals
Poncho has no awareness of Personal space 😂he’s crazy intrusive, nosy, bossy etc etc…😂

Cool to here Andy daneaults name, hes my cousin and got me into reptiles and amphibians, he has a lot of really cool animals
Bro u gotta get those temple turtles 🔥
lol, those birds are silly
This is amazing
🤠
His place is awesome. ❤
Hi Kenan! I live in Arizona near tucson. Very arid weather. I had acquired a few breeding pairs of yellow foots. I had to rehome them to someone with a green house.

One subscriber here tank's to Blake's he is the best.
Why didn't Kate come with you?
She's a school teacher
Weirdo
@@TellemG she afraid of birds! It was a joke.
I have a 5 yo leopard tortoise I may have to find a new home in the next few months. You guys able to take him?
Can anyone tell me what the name of that large fern is that’s growing in this habitat?? Is it an Ostrich Fern??
Am I the only one see the birds go everywhere they go 😅
Tbh im surprised Blake didnt hand you his baby batagurs.
So many haters 🤦🏼♀️
Love the collabs
The thumbnail shows capybara but I didn't see any in the vid. Did I miss them?
I follow both of yall
It’s fun to see your reactions to Blake’s enclosures and animals. So genuine.

Blake is an animal hoarding youtube kid.
@@BajatheChickenMan that aviary says otherwise
Thank you Cindy, much appreciated!

Same here, once I noticed it was animal hoarding for RUclips views it just felt wrong and I unsubscribed from his channel.
Far from hoarding
I agree. He seems more interested in the breeding aspect which I don’t like.
Paul Cafaro does the same crap. his recent video he bought a ton of damsels. he did not quarantine them and the tank he tossed the fish in is full of algae and crap.
He could easily build a 10x10 enclosure and it'd be better than the trays

Exactly. This dude just buys whatever exotic animal he can get his hands on. Blake's just trying to be famous and make money.
I completely agree. He's become an animal hoarder. He exploits his animals more for views and profit, not for education or conservation.
Like you could do better.
I mean to be fair his channel is called "Blake's exotic animal ranch" he dreams of having an exotic animal zoo with giraffes n stuff in the future
