Caiman lizards are for sure a dream species, but they're something that has to have an abundance of space, time and finances at your disposal in order to be able to properly keep them. Kenan with your property and personal dedication to reptiles, I'd say would be one of the few perfect matches for keeping Caiman Lizards. I think they would be an awesome addition to the kamp. And hats off to Tom and his Nephew for the incredible enclosures and husbandry they're practicing down there.
@@ericpohlman5131 You are correct, my apologies. I dont know why I typed nephew after just hearing Kenan introduce him as Toms Grandson. I was typing faster than my brain was correctly remembering I guess. Thanks for the correction, and have a safe and amazing new years.
Kenan, you’ve got the perfect property, environment and respect for reptiles, that’s needed to keep Caimans. So yes! Absolutely! I think a Caiman enclosure is just what the Kamp needs!!🦎❤️🦎
Oh my gosh, I LOVE those Caymen Lizards! The male was so funny the way he was following the camera like, "Look! Look at me! Am I not handsome? I am the MOST handsome lizard, yes?" 😂
I would love to see more Caiman lizards! Would be a fun project to watch from beginning with enclosure build to the end introducing them to their home.
Elijah is doing a fantastic job. They are really beautiful with their coloring and the intelligence and inquisitiveness in their eyes speaks volumes. Happy, healthy animals growing and thriving. Thanks for showing us these amazing animals.
Ok, so , the Cayman Lizard and the Black Dragons, my dream animals! Thankuou for introducing them. Tom is doing a great job with his breeding programs! Good to see Elijah joining the reptile world. Being soft spoken is a bonus when dealing with some lizards.
They're so cool! As a high school science teacher, it always makes me happy to see young people who are dedicated to learning so much about the animal kingdom!
🤣i know rite!! @LilyFreeborn itz fascinating how both Caimans didn't run nor hide... they were more curious like...🦎🤨🦎🤔..."Hmmm... I know Elijah, but who are these other human-beings entering my habitat..?.. hope they got some snails🐌to snack on..!" 😁
Absolutely amazing to watch, thankyou everyone involved. What an stunningly glorious marvel of nature that is the Caiman lizard. And equally as glorious work by all at the farm, so beautiful to have the opportunity to see. Just love💞
Definitely would be a fun project to work on. Crutchfield never ceases to amaze, I actually got a pair of Lewisi hybrids a few weeks back from Vanessa. Male is about 3.5 years old, female approx 3. They came in dog tame. Looking forward to the next one Kenan! Would love to see caiman lizards at the Kamp.
It would be so awesome to see Caiman Lizards at the camp. Have always been THE dream species for me. At my local aquarium the caiman lizard enclosure is always a highlight for me.
I love when you go visit Tom. His Rhinos are amazing but I have to say the Camien Lizards stole my heart. Just beautiful and you can see the curiosity in their eyes. Amazing!!
The Caiman lizards are gorgeous. They would be a really great addition to the camp. Having a custom habitat enclosure for a pair or more would be nice.
One of the coolest species of lizard out there! what a great pair elijah has been working with ! Honduras has got some pretty exotic looking animals thats for sure !
The way Caiman lizards chew their food looks so "mammalian" and it's kinda cute. It's quite different from most reptiles who will just swallow food whole or tear it in pieces. Lovely creatures.
I've never seen Cayman lizards before, but I'm in love! They would be a great species to have, but very time consuming. You can't just feed them once a week like some of your other reptiles. You'd have to cultivate your own snail farm, and have a good relationship with a fishmonger who can bring you the best seafood. That's not going to be cheap. It would certainly be worth the effort, but it's something to take into consideration. Unless Kate or Sophia is willing to help out, you can give up your 3 day bike rides.
I love Tom, Stacey, Vanessa and Elijah. Tom is leaving behind an incredible legacy with Vanessa and Elizabeth. I love his rhino iguana and the relationship he has with all his animals.did he ever get his Croc monitor that was stolen. I can't remember, was his name Jimmy or is that another one. Xxx❤️
I LOVE the idea of an aquascape pound kinda above ground level so you can have like a window to see the caiman lizard. Honestly caiman lizard should be the next project!
aquatic lizards are some of the coolest species to keep out there. the habitats you can make are just endless and water features are always so cool. but ofcourse there is always a cost that comes with that
I think you should absolutely get a couple of caiman lizards. I have never seen this animal before today. Thank you for bringing cool creatures like this to all of us!
Great vid today, my first visit to Tom’s place. More visits here, please! Definitely YES YES YES on getting a caiman lizard-they are gorgeous and so very interesting and unusual looking.
The caiman lizard has been my dream animal ever since I had the pleasure of working with one a couple of years ago. They are incredibly smart and tame up very nicely once you give them the time, love and care. I would love to see this species at the camp, because I think you can provide an incredible habitat for them and show the world what great animals they are.
Caiman lizards are a must! I got one this year as one of my dream animals. It’s essentially a specialized half arboreal half aquatic tegu. Mines been tame as can be and I risked it with a farm bread one as well. It’s a show stopper for anyone who sees it! I’m actually doing a giant South American themed enclosure with them as well-side necks, green basilisk, and fish.
YES. I think an Aquascape similar to Blake's Otter pond with an underwater viewing panel from outside the enclosure would be amazing for the Caiman Lizards, even a Sailfin would be awesome at the Kamp. I love Turts and Torts but my heart and passion will always be with the lizards and snakes, especially if water is involved.
I'm a little sad that when you were talking about the iguana delicatissima you didn't mention the first person to actually successfully breed them in the USA, Renata Carlseen! There need to be more female reptile keepers/breeders talked about and she is amazing! Had the opportunity to work for her when she was living in San Diego and she puts so much into her iguanas!
Knowing how well you set up habitats, I would love to see you breed cayman lizards. A mix with basilics would be absolute paradise. Seeing them actually have room to move and swim properly must show so many interesting behaviours. Truly a great idea to get some. Probably one of the best ideas, yet.
Tom sir I pray 🙏🏾 ur knee surgery goes well I had both my knees replaced almost two yrs now I had no cartilage in either knee my left one had bone fragments my right knee soo much arthritis. U will do fine jus have too make sure my knees covered well I live in Philadelphiaits winter 🥶hurts the metal
Kenan, thank you for sharing these incredible lizards. I've been trying to research them for months and have not found much on youtube. Hopefully in a year or two ill be able to keep them
Wow these animals are amazing!! I think you should ABSOLUTELY set one or a pair up in one of your awesome enclosures! I think I speak for everyone when I say that we’d all love to learn and see more about these guys! Happy New Year Kenan!
Kenan needs another lizard like he needs a hole in his head. All he's going to do throw it in a half assed cage outside in his yard. Play with it on video a few times until he gets tired which will be really quick because he already has more than he can handle by himself. Just look a Inky. Inky was supposed to be his "next big love/project" And look at her, she's been thrown in a piece of rusted metal he calls a cage & left to pretty much fend for herself.
Caimen lizards are hands down my favorite lizard. I think that would be a great addition to the camp! I've been wanting one of the youtubers I watch to get some so I don't have to 😂
Caiman Lizards aren't good pets for 90% of people and private owners, but I think you are one of the few who has the space, knowledge and resources too take care of one, would love to see this species at the camp
I want one too. I have since I was a child and saw them at the San Diego Zoo. I could spend all day in the reptile area of that place. I remember when you were able to pet the Galapagos torts and when they had a ton of green iguanas. Its all different now.
Thank you for sharing your encounter with the Caiman Lizards! BTW I believe, if one takes the time to invest this, he'd find out that most animals are pretty smart because they have to make a living out there in the wild - you have to be smart if you want to survive under such conditions (off course with domesticated animals that might be different, as long as their aren't bred especially for intelligence and understanding humans).
I’d say a massive multi species co habitat paludarium style enclosure with caiman lizards being the centerpiece would be my ultimate dream build you should definitely do it!
Occasionally in the 70's, these guys would show up in the pet trade. They would not live long mainly because no one knew how to feed or care for them. I got a chance to visit with one that lived with a family for over 10 years, and it was a really strong and friendly animal. Good Luck!!
those are amazing lizards! their faces remind me a bit of a native species to here the blue tongue lizard/ blue tongue skink (more something like the northern or eastern blue tongues rather than a bobtail), cept theyve got that forked tongue. Very cool. Ive always loved blue tongues especially bobtails (shinglebacks). Bobtails are soooo cool! We get them around here (I live in Perth West Aus) and its so cool watching them in the wild 🥰
Please get some caiman lizards! Guy, they are amazing! A vendor at Scott Smith's expo walks around with one and it's a big ole puppy! What we really need is more people captive breeding in the States.
Friends of mine have a pair of them up here New England and they’re insanely friendly! Need huge enclosures and water setups plus get pretty big! Hangs out with their red tegu too!
Always a great video when you go to Tom’s place it’s amazing. Alizah is next generation doing an awesome job. Definitely better set these up Kenan they are beautiful reptiles one I dream I could keep in Australia. Cheers from down under

Hi Mathew....Alijah is Tom's grandson.
@@ericpohlman5131 You are correct, my apologies. I dont know why I typed nephew after just hearing Kenan introduce him as Toms Grandson. I was typing faster than my brain was correctly remembering I guess. Thanks for the correction, and have a safe and amazing new years.
@@justmyway508 No worries. Matthew, do lizards taste their food or I guess what I am trying to ask...Do they enjoy the taste of their food?
Yep there cool I own one
Does Kenan have the water for them?
Kenan, you’ve got the perfect property, environment and respect for reptiles, that’s needed to keep Caimans. So yes! Absolutely! I think a Caiman enclosure is just what the Kamp needs!!🦎❤️🦎
Oh my gosh, I LOVE those Caymen Lizards! The male was so funny the way he was following the camera like, "Look! Look at me! Am I not handsome? I am the MOST handsome lizard, yes?" 😂
That Caiman Lizard is beautiful. They're like the parrots of the reptile world. And the yawn!!! My heart exploded
Can’t wait to see a caiman lizard habitat build and new lizards at the camp…
I would love to see more Caiman lizards! Would be a fun project to watch from beginning with enclosure build to the end introducing them to their home.
Elijah is doing a fantastic job. They are really beautiful with their coloring and the intelligence and inquisitiveness in their eyes speaks volumes. Happy, healthy animals growing and thriving. Thanks for showing us these amazing animals.
thanks for watching!
Alijah has those caiman lizard very “tame” the set up of that enclosure is amazing.

Fr I have a caiman lizard now but I hope to own a black dragon someday
Crutchfield always has the best enclosures. He makes sure his animals are happy!
They're so cool! As a high school science teacher, it always makes me happy to see young people who are dedicated to learning so much about the animal kingdom!
So impressed with Elijah... and the Caiman lizards too ! Beautiful creatures with a wonderful young man as their keeper.
that young man is a great example of what we are capable of, compassion and wisdom. really healthy looking lizards.
Elijah... that's hands down the coolest lizard I've ever seen. Amazing.
This first iguana is so sweet!! She's so curious about the camera but soooooo chill while she's at it and she's B-E-A-Utiful!! I love her!!😍💙
🤣i know rite!! @LilyFreeborn itz fascinating how both Caimans didn't run nor hide... they were more curious like...🦎🤨🦎🤔..."Hmmm... I know Elijah, but who are these other human-beings entering my habitat..?.. hope they got some snails🐌to snack on..!" 😁

That Caiman lizard is the coolest! ❤ how freaking cute is that face!
Best caiman lizard enclosure, excellent husbandry. That is one happy fella
oh gee!!, I was hoping you would say 'lets get a caiman lizard enclosurse set up' because I fell in love with these beautiful lizards! Yes Yes Yes!!!
After seeing how cool caiman creek is you’ve got to have caiman lizards. They are beautiful creatures ❤
Definitely would be a fun project to work on. Crutchfield never ceases to amaze, I actually got a pair of Lewisi hybrids a few weeks back from Vanessa. Male is about 3.5 years old, female approx 3. They came in dog tame.

Imagine having Tom as an uncle… awesome.
Omg those guys are so awesome! His pair are so chill and curious! Get well soon Tom. Thanks for having us over.
100% agree on getting caiman lizards and setting up an amazing aquascape enclosure
Kenan you have to get a pair. Their behavior would be awesome to document.

The caiman are so beautifully coloured. Elijah has his grandfather's skill. Incredible❤️
Guy is a legend!! Feel for you Tom. I have a knee surgery coming in March 😮💨 I'm too young for that ships.
Yes please. I think you should definitely get a couple of the caiman lizards for the kamp!
I LOVE the idea of an aquascape pound kinda above ground level so you can have like a window to see the caiman lizard. Honestly caiman lizard should be the next project!
I love Toms animals. You can tell they get lots of interactions.
Caiman lizards were the first exotic lizards I feel in love with. They are beautiful!!!
aquatic lizards are some of the coolest species to keep out there. the habitats you can make are just endless and water features are always so cool. but ofcourse there is always a cost that comes with that
I think you should absolutely get a couple of caiman lizards. I have never seen this animal before today. Thank you for bringing cool creatures like this to all of us!
Great vid today, my first visit to Tom’s place. More visits here, please!
Definitely YES YES YES on getting a caiman lizard-they are gorgeous and so very interesting and unusual looking.
Caiman lizards are absolutely awesome. A species I would love to work with one day!
I love when u visit Toms house. Hope he has a speedy recovery.
I am now an official Kamp Kenan Patrom.. So excited❤️
I enjoyed seeing the Caimen lizards 🦎
Thanks for sharing!
One of the best Kamp Kenans right here.
Yes please get these!! Those colors, the scales, the personality!
I wish you will get some Caiman lizards for the Kamp!!!!!! One of the coolest looking lizards ever!!!!!! ‼️‼️‼️‼️

kind of sad really that Kenan is the only one on the internet doing the right thing for all his animals!!! respect!!!
Caiman lizards, are a very cool species and fun to watch and interact with
Tom's animals look so healthy and happy!
Some Caiman Lizards on the Kamp would be so cool! We know you could make a dope enclosure for them!
They are some awesome lizards!! I could see a couple of these at the Kamp, would be a great addition!!
Really cool lizards! Thanks for all the wonderful content this year. Happy new year!
Caiman lizards are probably my favorite! I didn't know they were related to tegus!
Knowing how well you set up habitats, I would love to see you breed cayman lizards.
A mix with basilics would be absolute paradise. Seeing them actually have room to move and swim properly must show so many interesting behaviours.
Truly a great idea to get some. Probably one of the best ideas, yet.
My favorite reptile of all time.. would love to see you get a pair and set up a badass enclosure for these sick lizards
Yes! Get some Caiman lizards for sure!!!
Tom sir I pray 🙏🏾 ur knee surgery goes well I had both my knees replaced almost two yrs now I had no cartilage in either knee my left one had bone fragments my right knee soo much arthritis. U will do fine jus have too make sure my knees covered well I live in Philadelphiaits winter 🥶hurts the metal
From Philly as well it was cold past week thank god it’s like 50 now nd difference from what it was 50 feels like summer now
Kenan, thank you for sharing these incredible lizards. I've been trying to research them for months and have not found much on youtube. Hopefully in a year or two ill be able to keep them
Such beautiful species, I love tegus so they're like the water monitor of the Tegu complex
Love them. So beautiful. Different. Can’t wait to see them at the kamp.
Caiman lizards are so beautiful!
Wow these animals are amazing!! I think you should ABSOLUTELY set one or a pair up in one of your awesome enclosures! I think I speak for everyone when I say that we’d all love to learn and see more about these guys! Happy New Year Kenan!

Wow wow wow, Elijah did an incredible job with these Caimans, its so impressive dude.
Wow, that Caiman lizard is beautiful.
That young man knows his stuff on Caiman Lizards!
Would love to see the Caiman lizards at the Kamp. Great addition to the already impressive reptiles you have.
I’m in love with the Caiman lizards xx

I would love to see more basilisks , no one seems to keep them , i had one for like 14 years and he was amazing, miss my lil yoda , awesome video 👌👌👌

I’d say a massive multi species co habitat paludarium style enclosure with caiman lizards being the centerpiece would be my ultimate dream build you should definitely do it!
100% get one, I would love getting knowledge about this amazing lizard man and go thru an adventure with you and a caiman lizard!
Occasionally in the 70's, these guys would show up in the pet trade. They would not live long mainly because no one knew how to feed or care for them. I got a chance to visit with one that lived with a family for over 10 years, and it was a really strong and friendly animal. Good Luck!!
Such a unique lizard! You should definitely add some to the Kamp!
You definitely need some caiman lizards for the Kamp
Caiman lizards are my dream reptile
YES!
those are amazing lizards! their faces remind me a bit of a native species to here the blue tongue lizard/ blue tongue skink (more something like the northern or eastern blue tongues rather than a bobtail), cept theyve got that forked tongue. Very cool.
Ive always loved blue tongues especially bobtails (shinglebacks). Bobtails are soooo cool! We get them around here (I live in Perth West Aus) and its so cool watching them in the wild 🥰
Very cool lizard. Would love to see one at the kamp and what design you'd come up with for a cage build.
I'd love to see you work with both lizards but Caiman lizards would be amazing to see.
Most AWESOME video.....as always. thank you for sharing
Yes, SUPER cool animal! (So long as Slinks doesn't get jealous! 😉)
Very dinosaur-looking, esp when just its head was peeking out!
Love those caimen lizards .. colors and behavior would be awesome
Please get some caiman lizards! Guy, they are amazing! A vendor at Scott Smith's expo walks around with one and it's a big ole puppy! What we really need is more people captive breeding in the States.
Yes to caiman lizards 🥰 lovelovelove
So...Kenan....when we getting the Caiman Lizard?? I think it'd be a fantastic addition to the Kamp. Perfect person and land for it.
Very cool stay at Tom's sanctuary. I think Elijah need his own RUclips channel, to educate people at large.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Please get a pair asap!!!!!
Friends of mine have a pair of them up here New England and they’re insanely friendly! Need huge enclosures and water setups plus get pretty big! Hangs out with their red tegu too!
Always a great video when you go to Tom’s place it’s amazing. Alizah is next generation doing an awesome job.
Definitely better set these up Kenan they are beautiful reptiles one I dream I could keep in Australia. Cheers from down under
Have a good new year kenan
Thank you. You too!
I had a caiman lizard for a really long time. Water quality is a very important factor as well
Good to see the next generation
Crutchfield!
Love discovering new Species on this channel, Especially after I just watched Avatar 2!
