This reminded me of the old camp kenan videos. In fact, I thought it was 4 years old, not 4 hours when I first looked at it 😂 Loved seeing the way others keep tortoises and turtles in different climates. His back yard is beautiful!!
AMAZING TURTLE HABITATS ✨✨🐢🐢Maurice Rodrigues IS A TURTLE GOD LOVE HIS PLACE AND STUNNING RARE TURTLES BREEDING SUCCESSFULY ✨✨🌞🌞🐢🐢🧙♂🧙♂ WOW EXCITED FOR YOUR NEW TWIST NECKS TO GO IN CAIMEN CREEK ✨✨🐢🐢🐊🐊🐸🐸
Poor Kenan so cold he forgot how to talk😂...im from Atlantic City, gotta get ur shoulders under the water, you'll warm up...that natural habitat is absolutely beautiful
Some woolen panties...(?) Gotta protect those family jewels! Wonder if that dude knows he did a pee pee in the pond; *Kenan;* “it just got a lot warmer!” 😂
Mr Rodrigues, your enclosures are beautiful as are your turtles and tortoises. Thank you so much for sharing animals to Kenan so that even folks like me in Tennessee can enjoy them via video and contribute to their support. People like you give me hope !
Go Kenan, brave those 60 degree waters....lol don't come to the NW we got cold here too. Those turtles are amazing. love this beautiful NJ spot. thanks Maurice and Kenan!
Hi Kenan You were so brave to going that cold water. You did a good search for that male turtle. I hope that he finds it before you have to go back to a Florida. Those turtles that he gave you, will
I’ve seen them in that Fishkill reservation that was mentioned on a herping expedition. There’s another breeding population near Hudson NY. Chris Leone (Garden State Tortoise) has a license and keeps several Blandings.
That habitat is incredible!! Did you find the male turtle that was playing hid and seek with you? I can't wait for the release videos with the new turtles and tortoises.
At the start of the video "we're also going to get some other turtles" *me shouting at the screen* "please be hermanns!!!" Kenan please get some hermanns back in the Kamp, I know you got a lot going on but surely you've got room for a few 😉 they are so commonly kept as pets and people could really benefit from you teaching them how to properly keep them! Great content as always and great to see you catching up with old friends 👏😅
I once brought back two twist-necked hatchlings that I found in a market in Iquitos, Peru. They turned out to be a pair but they never successfully bred although the male certainly tried. Maybe the female knew he was her brother. I kept them for ten years before I gave them away.
Lol Kennan is just like me when it comes to cold weather. I was born in Tampa but now live in Kentucky. I freeze here and I wish I could move to Florida. As soon as I get my kidney transplant, I’ll probably consider moving to Florida. I just ain’t comfortable changing doctors and stuff right now. I can wear a hoodie and long pants in the 80’s.
Wish I could have more then 1 pet I would love to set up an area with a small fall and creek to a small pond in my backyard. So I can have fish and turtles set up in it. Of course I would have to set up a few large tanks for the winter months cause it snows here.
My 11 year old granddaughter lives with me and she found a little blandings turtle I live in Wisconsin and have never seen one before but I looked it up it was beautiful she wanted to keep it but I think it said they are protected I am not sure can someone tell me I know Kenan said yes where they are but does that include Wisconsin
They are protected in the entirety of their range. Never take any turtles out of their habitat, it’s illegal in most places and they often fail to thrive.
@@davidvento5481 thank you very much David I appreciate that, my granddaughter started crying and I explained to her how it's not good for the turtle and it might even die she wasn't real happy but understood.
@@juliaboeck8110 There are lots of turtle breeders around these days so you can buy most turtle/tortoise species (except those endangered ones) at very reasonable prices. If you have the space Kenan has baby Sulcatas -aka; Spur thighs for sale (see his last live stream or past vids) but they do get huge. He also has a few Cherry Heads & Red Foots available which stay smaller and make good pets. Smaller still are Herman’s Tortoises, all these make excellent pets, are totally legal and you won’t wind up with a sick turtle (and huge vet bills!) My pleasure to be of help.
We have wild sliders all over england my town has some few towns down has some they cant successfully breed though but I'm sure theres the odd success😂
I heard there were wild (breeding) populations of Eastern Box Turtles in forests of the UK. That’s unsubstantiated by my friends there but I heard it from a local whose fairly knowledgeable. The winter temps are milder there than here in the NY tri-state region so with food & water sources I can easily see them living & breeding successfully there. Because of their beautiful, highly variable colors & great temperaments I know people are/were paying crazy amounts for Eastern “Boxies” in Europe. They are very common within their range here in the US.
The Red Foot Tortoises (bred in PA) look like they have varying degrees of MBD evidenced by the pyramiding of their shells. This is the result of a lack of vit D. and/or poor diet. They will no doubt benefit from being in Florida.
South Jersey is the worst place for turtles and there r the most species and largest. One night walking my dog I saw 13 box turtles hit by cars in less than a 2 mile span.
Not to mention Easter spotted. I have pics of some of the biggest box turtles and other species including an American snapping turtle over 43 pounds while fishing
*Kamp Kenan* ✋ I have a few questions 😅if you don't mind spending a few moments of your time answering them.. We know you have a little bit of color blindness with your retinas.. But besides that.. (1) when it comes to the overall health of the turtles.. what is your stance on hyper-melanistic, dominant-melanistic, albino, and leustic turtles? I understand that natural occuring and natural reoccurring morphs aren't mutually exclusive in the wild(they happen quite often) .. like with Buttercup 😉 (2) From your experience are their diets any different from regular cherry heads within their own genius? I haven't seen any white or albinos cherry head turtles at the Kamp except for the babies(but none from my 30 minute window of view you for years now, have I seen you keep one or two within the colony) not that 😅 its an issue or problem I've just never seen one Grow up fully at the residence.. what's your stance of keeping one back? (3) I saw the plastron of the first cherry/red foot turtle you pick up: 😊looks very healthy to me, but you pointed how dark its under belly is, which you probably haven't had much experience owning one like that. What are the chances of a cherry head or red-foot turtle having a darker melanistic quality? I know it's probably seen more often in breeding circles and of courses places like ReptiCon. I would 💬💬💬🤔 think in private collections there are probably breeding pairs.. (4) last question: 😅✋ Is it more difficult owning an albino or white leustic turtle? Than a regular of its kind. I would suspect it's more "photo-sensitive" to uv or uvb cause of its lighter or lack of melatonin/melanin in its blood stream. I like to know your take on this
I don’t believe I can own Indian spotted turtles in Pa . Or I can purchase captive bred from a pa breeder . Any way I love them but probably will never have one
