Top 5 Pet Tortoises At Kamp Kenan 

Animal: *exists* Clint: so you have chosen S T I N K I N G R A D

Kenan:“You’re gentle and calm and the animals seem to respond to you.” This includes those that walk on two legs

Marvel: most ambitious crossover yet. Clint: hold my snake hook

So much fun doing this with you. BTW, I wasn't picking my nose in that clip. It was an itch. Yeah. Let's go with that.

One of the things they forgot to mention, though Clint has pointed it out in pervious videos, is that rehomed tortoises might be a better option for most people. As they mentioned, these animals often outlive their owners, and because of that, there tends to be a decent number of them looking for homes. There aren't too many cons, the biggest would be that if you got an improperly kept animal, they might have special needs, and if they need socialization (which by the looks of it, many of them won't) it'll be harder with a larger individual, and they might be harder to find (thought I kind of doubt that). But beyond that, I can't think of much, if you are set up to properly keep a tortoise, then you have the space for an adult tortoise, so the size when you get them shouldn't be an issue. A rehome is likely to be cheaper, and the biggest bonus is that it's already lived a while, so you may only be looking at closer to 40 years left instead of 60-80.

Clint could easily have his own tv show. His personality and enthusiasm will continue to connect with the masses.

I appreciate that Kenan has gates for his tortoise enclosures even though you can just walk over the fence.

I’ve seen places like puppy and cat cafes where you can, for a small entry fee, hang out with puppies and kittens just for some stress relief. It would be great to have something similar, but just with tortoises. Snakes and lizards are fun, but tortoises have such a calming “there’s no rush, we’ll get there when we get there” relaxed energy to them.

We just rescued a 6 year old Russian tortoise that never had UVB and was only being fed frozen green beans. I was excited to see this this episode to know I'm giving him a better life now 🥬🐢🌞

20:51 - Anyone else notice Dave doing his Bigfoot impression in the background? ;)

"This is my baby giant tortoise, I got it for my great, great, great, great grandkids to take care of after I die. Isn't it cute." ... *"You're 25"* "I know!"

At the start: This list will be of small tortoises that you can house indoors their whole lives. Number Five: "This is a tortoise that you definitely can *not* house indoors..."

Tortoises are so cute and fun. They look like giant walking mushrooms.

I’ve watched Kenan for years and he’s created a paradise for these animals. He’s got plans ahead that will make his place even more amazing!! I live only 20 minutes from him and would LOVE to visit someday. 🐢❤️🐢

In the name of Clint giving more creative names to animals (i.e. Huffy Venom Potato), I shall dub the tortoises: Rocks with Legs that are Curious of Your Existence, and Curious if You have Food

Clint and Kenan together, two of my favorite RU-vidrs!

This video is amazing. My favourite part is when Kenan was talking and Clint was petting the giant tortoise, just happily smiling away. That was so pure and wholesome and made my day.

Tortoises look so prehistoric! I love them, living dinosaurs!!

Another exciting instalment of the pet tuber cinematic universe

tortoises are really stinking rad 😃

I know Kenan from his BMX days (early 00s) when I was at Woodward in PA and man it’s so cool to see him so passionate and excited for this stuff.

YES OH MY GOD. I never even dared to hope you'd go with Kamp Kenan

I have a two-year-old red-footed tortoise named Picard and he is so cute I live up north so I plan to make a bunk bed for him with a 6 ft by 6 ft enclosure for him

oh my god i love Kenan and fully recommend his channel to any reptile lover

I was chilling listening to this while looking up other reptiles, and I ended up falling in love and adding the Golden Greek Tortoise to my dream reptile list

Absolutely love how much appreciate, knowledge & kinship was present in this one video!

Red-footed Tortoise: ❌ Chicken-pox Walking-box: ⭕️

I thought it was cool at the end how you said that if you really want it and work towards it, you can make a cool place like Kamp Kenan. I really want to do something with captive reptiles as a career, but have been worrying that it might be unobtainable.

I love that, even as a scientist, Clint recognizes the amount of intuition and experience that goes into interacting with animals

I love how the elongata were just chillin in the mud.

Clint 5:44 “Yeah, if you get caught by a tortuous, you had it coming”. 😂😂😂

I watch Kamp Kenan videos every time they turn up on my Facebook feed! I don't 100% agree with everything I've seen him do or say in these videos (but when are we ever 100% aligned with another person?), but I have to say that his love of his critters and the relationship he shares with them is absolutely wonderful, and I love the fact that this collaboration took place!

22:28 It's silly and adorable how they get scared of objects moving above them even though they are gigantic and so pretty much no bird would even consider eating them.

Now this is quality content!. Been waiting for this for so long, thanks both of u

A Couple of the rare guys who really love these pets

I absolutely love the tortoises, and the compassion and knowledge you and Kenan have are so stinkin' rad!

Finally! I love tortoises and your videos Clint, please make more tortoise videos. 2 of my favorite things right here

Augh.... I love tortoises so much, and all of these friends are such beautiful ones. Thank you for this video. 💙

Two of my favorite people in the same video! Thank you for the new information!

One of my favorite videos. Loved learning about tortoises and their requirements.

We've had Spud, the Redfoot Tortoise, for over 30 years and he is awesome. We live in New Hampshire and he now has a room of his own! They are very smart and are hearty eaters.

One of my favorite videos yet! Thanks so much for this

I've been watching both these channels for ever! This is the crossover no one asked for but everyone wanted!

I watch Kenan all the time! Thanks Clint! :) I've learned a ton from both of you!

Omg I love tortoises SO much! Their pudgy little leggies are just so cute and how personable some of these little ones were, so precious! Waaah I love tortoises and unless I can stop being disabled some day, I can never have one. I'll have to just keep watching them on RU-vid. For real though Clint, I'm sure you won't read this because of how old the video is but I'll say this again on the next video you post so you do see it, I'll go into more detail there too. As someone who has been bedridden for the greater part of the last 7 years, and happens to LOVE reptiles, animals, and just nature in general, I am SO incredibly thankful for people like you who go out to these places, and out herping, and just show us how amazing and beautiful and wonderful the animal world, some of which I have never even dreamed of, let alone knew existed (dragon snake for one) is. I am super envious of your life, but I mean that as to compliment the person, and amazing ambassador to the animal kingdom that you are! Please never change. Your nerding out is super infectious and extremely educational, which in my books, makes it a boon to all those who come across you in whichever way they happen to. Showing us places that someone like me will likely never be able to see, is just so wonderful and in a way that most able bodied people generally don't even consider. When not in bed (like for when I have doctor appointments, or the rare times I'm feeling well enough to) I'm stuck in a wheelchair. I can walk but only for an upwards of 3 minutes before my legs are in excrutiating pain and/or just full on give out on me. So you can imagine that finding sea snakes on an island just off New Zealand, hanging out with cool tortouuse dudes, or even something simple as the Canadian equivelant to your herping in Utah is pretty much perma-out for me. You and the rest of the RU-vidrs of the hobby are all I've got. And I appreciate the heck out of all of you. *You're* the one who's stinkin' rad, my new friend.

I love this. Just two dudes with a deep love and respect for a particular field so eager to share all their knowledge! Fun colab!

I've eagerly been waiting for this video! Started following Dav and Kenan after seeing you collab with them. If Clint is teaming up with them they must be good people! I've been having a blast watching their videos so thank you for introducing us to them! I really want a tortoise or a flock of tortoise! 🐢

What beautiful, majestic animals. What a great experience for you Clint. Thanks for sharing.

This video is exuding so much enthusiasm and energy and love for animals it's amazing

I love ur collabs with other reptile enthusiasts Clint! Keep it up

So great to see the two of you together.

I don't own any reptiles but I love this channel! Your enthusiasm and knowledge about all these animals makes these video's totally rad!

Thank you for all the wonderful information! Thanks for all the wonderful content! And thank you for the sneak peek of the progress on Slinky’s house! 👀

This was an absolutely fantastic episode. I quite enjoyed the tour of Kamp Kenan.

Kenan and Clint are among the best youtube has to offer, it's fantastic to watch them together sharing their passion for animals and conservation.

Such a cute video. I appreciate how friendly Kenan’s tortoises are, especially the redfoots.

Love this collab! I hope you guys can do this again in the future!

Clint, I'm a big fan of you, we need more Tortoise videos! I love your content and I love tortoises!

Kenan has a zoo at his house! It’s so cool! Slinky is my favorite lizard on RU-vid!

Sooo passionate and smart ya'll. Thank youuuu for sharing. Also hilarious. 😂 Turtles soooo cute.

Kenan is so enthusiastic about tortoises he almost took over your video. Gotta love him.

I dont have Reptiles nor do I plan to ever get some. Still I watch every Video. I think that says a lot about how nice these videos are to watch :)

Two titans together Clint & Kenan 👍

Wow as if Clint and Kenan together 🤗that stinking rad lol, love watching you both keep up the good work, from England ☺️

Epic collab! More tort videos, yay! RIP kenan's beard

I just saw a comment on reddit that referred to Clint as the ‘Mr. Rogers of herpetology’. I can’t disagree

That one tortoise has some "Yessss, provide me with skritches, human, and I shall unfold the secrets of the universe to you." energy.

It’s so nice to see every one of my favorite people in one video surrounded by torties 🥺

I am glad to see the two of you collaborating 😁 It is important for the reptile community to support each other. I am here in South Florida and have Russians, Mexican wood turtles, a Florida red belly and a Sulcuta. 🐢

wonderful video as usual, Clint and Kenan

It was already a great vlog with you and Kenan....but then there's Dav!!!!

Really enjoyed this - thanks a lot for sharing!

Definitely one of my favorite collaborations

My fiancé and I got a Sulcata tortoise after watching both of your channels for a while now... we love him, our daughter loves soaking him at the end of the day. It’s part of our nightly routine with her. Little nervous about setting up the out door enclosure but I’m excited when he will get big enough.

yay! A collab between two of my favourite reptile channels :D

Very cool Clint, great video. Would love more tortoise content.

Two of my favorite RU-vidrs

Probably one of my top favorite episodes of Clints Reptiles

Those radiated are stunning.

This really is heaven for turtle and tortoise lovers

I love both of these channels.

Yeeees two of my favorite youtubers together 👏❤

Two of my favorite guys and dav in the background cracking me up 😂

Been waiting for this collab

Legendary collaboration

Love when you guys collab.

I love the Kenan take over ☺️

You make me happy Clint!

Hi Clint, new sub in from The Minkman 🍻👍 looking forward to seeing your clip with Boon . Awesome tortoises 🐢 👏 😎

When you guys were talking about you having a way with animals, Clint, I really understood what you were feeling and hownyou responded. I've always loved snakes, and have never had a negative interaction with one. I will always remeber the moment I knew I wanted a snake. I was a really little girl and I have always loved all animals. I had always really been drawn to snakes but never really got to interact with them often. I don't think it was my first time holding a snake, but I was looking at a black and white baby king snake at a massive chain petshop called Pj's Petstore here in Toronto. It was the smallest snake I had ever seen, and I was instantly inamoured with the little thing. An employee came by a few times, myst have noticed I was so fascinated and asked if I wanted to hold it. I of course said yes, and they got the snake out and handed it to me. I couldn't have been older than 10. My mom was nearby, and the employee stayed with me and told me about snakes while I held it. Meanwhile? Yeah the snake curled around my hand, it's tail aroundy pinkie finger, and I kid you not, it fell asleep. I'm not talking a ball python, it was a full on KING snake. I was so heartbroken that I couldn't keep it. I knew it was asleep too because not only was it not moving and had its head resting on its body, the employee confirmed it. Since, I didn't have much of a chance to hold snakes, had I done so, nothing like that ever stuck out. That was until I got my baby Kira about 15 years ago now. I loved that snake. It was just a plain old normal morph ball python, but all I knew about ball pythons at the time was that it was cheap to get one and I loved the one at the store. This snake would follow me when I went into the store, and loved to kind of stand up as tall as it could before wavering and falling over. I just had to have that silly little noodle in my life. Any time I went to take Kira out of their enclosure, they would be "standing" just so excited to be out. Kira would then fall asleep on me. We would watch TV together, I'd give them nice quick warm baths with just about a quarter inch of water every once in awhile, which Kira absolutely LOVED! I just had so much fun with that little yep rope. Unfortunately, I got her while in a relationship and because I moved out, and I didn't have anywhere to go (his and his mother's names were on the lease. I broke up with ex, he kicked me out) I had to leave Kira behind. When I was finally able to come back to move my stuff into my new apartment (had to stay with a friend for a week) my ex had moved out, and took my snake with him. I was just thankful he hadn't also stolen my cat, nor just let her out to spite me. Especially since his sister had forced me to get my cat declawed 🤬. I couldn't afford the snake and enclosure and all that, after that, so I had to wait. Then I got pregnant. Now, I have the means to be able to afford a snake enclosure again, and my son has been saving up his christmas and birthday money the last few years for a snake. My dream snake since Kira, has been a Blue Eyed Lucy. I told my son, and he has decided that's what he wants too. We will name him or her Sans. And now that I know how to tell the sex of a snake, I will know what pronoun to use!

you guys are great fun. I watch all you guys. so cool

This was a super fun and interesting video thank you so much!

Clint: I want to touch the most beautiful and wise tortoise Darwin: Who tf is you?

Kamp Kenan, nice, one day I'd love to visit it.

Truly amazing

I have to say, I would love to visit Kenan one day as well. I also cannot wait until I am finally able to purchase my own house where I can dedicate an entire room to 2-3 tortoises and another room for some other reptiles I've wanted for years :). I currently have a Russian Tortoise, and seeing him active every day is just such a joy. I was worried for a bit because he wasn't pooping a lot, and spent most of his day with his eyes closed, but after forcibly putting him out of his house in the last 2 weeks and soaking him a lot more than I normally would, I am happy to say that he has come back to his former self :)

Ooh, you're at Kamp Kenan! I've always wanted to visit!!! :D

Great video. Love the collaborations

Clint, kennan, nerd and snake discovery are the best channels.

Love you two together
