She laid.... dug up the eggs the next day put them in the incubator May 8... I had one hatch on August 8... no sign of the others hatching. My question is how long does it take to hatch, and do they all hatch about the same time? I'm worried that the rest won't hatch , but not sure if I should be worried or not!!?? Thank you!!

I came across your channel through Chandlers Wild Life after watching his videos and you were next up and I watched and have been watching a bunch, great channel. I do have a question, I can’t seem to find info in your videos, what ever happened to the Albino tortoise you received as a gift? I remember seeing the original owner doing research on Angle and haven’t seen anything since. Hope you incubator situation doesn’t get out of control with all the insects. Love the channel. Always informative beyond what most other channels when it’s comes to reptiles, of course there are a select few who are great and you always seem to learn something new whenever you visit them. But thanks for the great information and hopefully I can find out what happened to your beautiful albino.

I was holding end to end and I shined the light on the egg and it popped and a horizontal Crack appeared. Egg started leaking. I was not squeezing it at all. Does this mean its ready to hatch? The turtle moved when I shined the light and I'm pretty sure that is why it cracked. Please help...I don't want it to due. I did mot put it back in the nest. I have it in a box with dirt and set the egg on a moist paper towel.

You can also use a wine cooler or old fridge that's died by putting a heating element in a bucket of water on bottom to heat and create humitity. Look on Google to get more info and don't just jump into it unless your confident of your knowledge that will be very helpful although trial and error is the best way of learning in my opinion with knowledge of course good luck hope this helps

3 months ago a red ear slider laid eggs in my yard . Dug a hole in hard clay soil . The drought has made the soil hard as a rock . Yesterday I delicately dug to the eggs and some were hatching . I moved the clutch in a bucket and buried them in potting soil .Placed the bucket on a heating pad set to medium . Four have hatched . I moved them to a plastic tub with an inch of water and an island . Am I messing up ? The closest water source is a creek about 75 yds away and across a busy street . I plan on releasing them , maybe keep a couple as pets . I dont think they would have been able to dig themselves out of the baked clay soil and make it to the creek .

@KampKenan 5 жыл бұрын

You’re seeing my babies in the incubator and they are in an early stage of hatching. In the wild, they would hatch out of the egg but stay in the nest until the yolk has been absorbed. Once they have the strength usually all the babies dig out of the nest together:) that’s why you don’t see yolks with sea turtles hatching out of the nest.

Hey Kenan! My question regards my corn snake. He is very aggressive and is having shedding issues for about a month now. He has shed skin stuck over his nares and I’m really worried about him. I’ve tried soaking him and giving him a humid hide but nothing has helped so far. Because he is aggressive, I’m scared to try to take the shed skin off manually. Could you make a video about stuck sheds and how to remedy it?

Same I started up a channel because of kenan as well.. also kenan you should start a "is this reptile right for me" series because most people don't understand some reptiles don't make great pets and are better off left in the wild!! Much safer for the animal!! Like example Savannah monitor those reptiles are so hard to keep alive and most people kill them within a year it's so sad!! People need to be educated on specific reptiles and the career requirements!!! Please think about this!!
