I cracked up laughing when you picked up that one tortoise and the rest of the gang came "running" over.

00:28 The tortoise's are like "GET OFF MY BLOCK"

0:30 theres like 5 tortoises headed straight for him, they must love him, or think he has food

I love how all the tortoises run over to kenan

First, I live in South East Asia, Thailand to be exact... So it's always hot and humid here.. And the sun just almost 'burn' us alive T__T I got 2 hatchling Sulcatas, they were about 2 months old... I was very worried if they'll have pyramiding or not... I did a lot of research and give them strict high fibre diets only. I'm not sure if they're from the same parents or not but I fed them very strictly without any food/vegs that contains proteins...not even spinach or cabbage..( I read that cabbage has a high keratin, which is the part the make up the scutes in the shell so I'm afraid I'll overfed them too much). So I feed them mulberry leaf, hibiscus flower & leaf, swamp cabbage (First 3 are their favourites), green oak, sometimes lettuce and always have mini shallow plate of water for them to drink and 'cute dive' themselves to keep themselves humid... And they ALWAYS splashes out their mini water tray and poo poo in the water... So I always refill the clean water everyday 1 of them grew a smooth scutes so the shell was perfectly smooth when I rub it.. The other on one grew a 'raised' scutes so it's not as smooth as the other one.. I can feel that's its bumpier compare to the other one... They're both kept outdoor in the big 1.5m x 1.5 tray, soil/sand bedding and direct sunlight in the morning shine on their tray.. Not much in the afternoon or evening because they're always asleep ... In the end I'd say 'Genetics' and as Kenan said here I think it's the 'eroding' of the shell part that could also effect the growth of their shells.. I mean we feed them the 'perfect food' and perfect environment... Some of the food we feed them , even the healthiest diet, still cause them pyramiding.. Not to mention the food chain of what we use to grow the vegetables we eat these days can't compare to the 'actual' organic foods they find in nature.. I hope my beginner story helps =)

0:27 the attack of the torts. Interesting vid, never would've known about pyramiding.

at 4:59 the tortoise's like "PUT MY NIGGA DOWN ."

What super cool is that you answer all the questions I always have...like in that case I was thinking that there is no way that this never happens in the wild, and there you are, right away, showing us some pyramiding from the wild.

I love how in the beginning of the video all of the tortoises slowly walk towards Kenan like a zombie herd, lol.

I had to check this video out specially after all you’ve done. And wow it’s incredible do see how everything has progressed and congratulations on doing an amazing job bud. The Kamp is truly amazing you’ve really done an incredible job and thank you so much for sharing your time, knowledge, and passion for keeping these amazing animals. Keep up the great work bud and I truly wish you and your family and all the critters the absolute best and hope you all have a great day 🙋‍♂️✌️

A really important subject to me! Thank you Kenan!!!

Great topic, you nailed it Kenan.

look at them running to you "FOOOD!!! YAY!"

Damn 50,061 subscribers congratulations keep your good work up :)

Great info and clearup. Nature works in mysterious ways ;)

The tortoises you have are exactly like the one i found right outside my front porch just chilling lol

Wow! Almost 50,000 subs! I remember when I subbed you were at 12,000! Keep up the awesome work!

great info!! love your videos

I've been taking care of a Russian tortoise for four years. During the first two years, I did not understand how to give him proper lighting, now he gets all of the proper lighting and food. Somehow he didn't get any pyramiding. I actually saved him from Petsmart, somehow he didn't get any pyramiding during his stay there.

I think I went wrong with my leopard Indy regarding feeding to much and the wrong diet (mainly Mazuri and grocery store greens). He/She is about 6 and has significant pyramiding but is otherwise healthy. I plan on doing a brief clip this weekend on him/her. Great info, thanks!

'Some others are coming over' XD omg lmao

I was just researching pyramiding! how convenient is that haha

The leopard tortoises are so cute x)

Kenan im early again!!! Ur awsome and so are ur videos. U inspire and educate me thx man ur amazing :)

you just made my day

hey kenan I was wondering if you could do an update on the Cuban crocs at Kyles facility here soon? keep up the awesome vids!:)

0:31 he's being taken by behind

kamp kenan your the best i love you

I have one Sulcata Tortoise (out of our 21 total) that has way more pyramiding that everyone else and she is in the exact same environment. I'll look into changing her diet!

nice video man

I got adopted by a desert tortoise in an area that is non-native to the animal (obviously someone's pet or ex-pet). I knew nothing. Still don't know much. He has survived me in spite of it all. Now that he's at least 50 yo, I'm beginning to learn about him. Thankfully, he has a smooth shell, but all he eats is romaine.

great vid

Thank you so much dear friend 👍😊

The shape of tortoises shells are like monostatic geometry, look up for Gömböc (it has just one stable and one unstable point of equilibrium thus it will always turn belly to the ground)

0:32 tortoise army, ATTACK! Kenan: 😦

They are so cool

hello Kenan i have a question (or for somebody here) i got 2 sulcata's i got them when they were a few weeks old, but they already got pyramids, now they are some older but are grown, but theyr parents got those pyramids too, should can i prevent that my tortoises get bigger pyramids i gut UV light and in the summer they are outside (i live in the Netherlands) please let me know

I've had a 10-15 year old Russian tort for about 7 or 8 months now and her shell is very large near the head and tapers down towards her bottom. It reminds me of hunchback. When I got her I took her to a reptile vet and he mentioned that she is in an early stage of MBD because of how soft her shell is. He said there is no pyramiding but never mentioned the way her shell is so large at one end and small at the other. Is that also MBD?

Nice Galapagos, bro. Pricey.

Those morrocoys are so cute! but that condition is normal on them, if you go and see them in the wild is really weird to find 1 with a perfect egg-like shell (of course i'm talking about a normal pyramiding like in those guys you got there).

Cool new video and can you give a tip for making a Asian box turtle habitat?

Do you provide uvb lighting 24/7 or is 2 to 3 hours in the sun … plus n outdoor enclosure enough ?

What’s too much food for a tortoise? I feed my two baby sulcata tortoises every other day and they get a mix of spring mix, grass from my yard, dandelion leaves, flowers and wheat grass. They sure can eat, but how much should I feed them?

Hi my 3 year old redfoot tortoise starting pyramiding is it down protein I feed him to much mazuri once a Week?

hi kenan i have two sulcata's they are just 3 years old but have large pyramids, i bought it like that couple days ago i give good food with every vitamines and uv light are the pyramids safe or ? please tell me it stops hopelly greeting from The Netherlands happy new year !

I can tell your animals really love you.

so how many times should I feed my Greek tortoises ? they are 7 and 10 years old. Looking forward hearing from You. Bálint

I have that type of tortoise (red footed tortoise)! Luckily, mine has a very smooth shell and no pyramiding.

good vid again (y)

how do you make a humid hide? can i just put a wet sponge in the cave? or just keep all of the substrate moist

Socrates is a beast. He's going to be a big boy

Can you make a video on the proper diet for baby red foots (5-12 months)?

I am concerned about my Herman with pyramiding I left for one month and had a caretaker for my torts when I came home noticed something very discouraging noticed my 7 year old Herman had raised scutes .😯 thought I was doing it right. Bummed out

hey i have a simple question. How big can a sulcata grow when it has 6 years? i have a female sulcata and i have compared it with others and she is as big as a 14 yearold male sulcata

My freckles is 2 years and she has mild pyramiding how many times do i need to feed her and give the protein and calcium? Please help 9:33

I have 2 baby Greek tortoises and I wanna know what there maximum size would be

I thought that pyramiding was when the stack up to a pyramid xD

soo cute!

what are the " right foods" ?

Is a home hinge back tortoise g ood or bad

Tortoises are so cute

Awesome animals :')

where do I find the answers to questions asked?

What size habitat does a redfoot need

I am wandering what substrate is the best for red footed tortioses also i am wandering if they work better sociably over alone and if they do work better together sociably how big should i build the cage Kenan please help me

is it normal in stars

Please do more videos on your pond. It's really awesome. You don't even need to be in the vid, just film the turtles. Cheers :)

Where do you buy your cacti for your tortoises I have a sulcata and we wanted to find the best place for cacti and flowers

they have a good home.

if anyone could help if appreciate it but I've got a red foot tortoise who's got a little bit of pyramiding I know they need sunlight but where I live there's no place to put the tortoise without endangering it (dogs,coyotes,etc) and the only food I know to give him or her *not sure* is lettuce and a boiled egg every once and a while so I guess what I'm asking is for recommendations

Do turtles need a uvb lamp or a heat lamp is enough

Can you do more videos on red foots

In a lot of your videos you talk about keeping tortoises in the northern area of the USA and the food we should feed them. As I'm one of those people I have a question about that. When we feed Romaine lettuce, collard greens and other stuff like those that are intended for humans should we limit those to 3-4 times a week or feed them every day? I do keep Zoo Meds food in a bowl for them all the time and allow them to graze in the back yard when the weather permits, but I started to worry about how much nutrients they are getting from the store bought greens after watching some of the videos.

My tortoise lives like it is in the wild... it has fee range of the big garden, with a large rockery, rain and sun, it digs deep burrows under the rocks and walk up and down the walls … all that wears down his shell a lot an he super smooth and shiny and very healthy... he is 60 years old this year and the vets at the tortoise MOT event each years say he is the healthiest tortoise they have seen. He never has been fed commercial feed, only eating the grass and weeks / plants in the garden and cucumber. I never even gave he supplement.

so if two tutles have same diet its possibile that one have pyramiding and one not?

Does anybody know the name of that tortoise the name of the species

Hi Kenan! You know my dad me my mom and my brother so look at the part that says Baker
