This is the place for serious reptile lovers! We have tons of expert info on pet lizards, habitat, snakes, turtles, sulcata tortoises, terrapin, crocodiles, alligators and all sorts of scaly & misunderstood creatures in Florida. We also love to learn from other animal experts who are happy to share knowledge about pets. That’s what Kamp Kenan is all about. We love reptiles & science and we know you do too. This is why we do what we do. Animal conservation in the modern world matters, we're out there living it and doing it every day. This is real life, these stories are real, and our sole purpose is education in action for you so that you can learn something new every day and one day perhaps get involved yourself. It's that simple.
Let's create a new generation of educated reptile keepers & animal enthusiasts by spreading the love!

Thanks for emphasizing establishing trust and a positive relationship with reptiles is possible. Clint and the guy from NERDS did a video on this same topic yesterday. I have worked with green iguanas for years. we have to change our behavior first and understand where they are coming from.

I have also kept green iguanas and never had an issue with them. I think most people just don't take the time to develop a stable relationship with them. Understanding an animals wants ,needs, and emotions are key when trying to develop trust. Body language is a big part as well, yours and the animals.

Loved the video. Just watched a video Clints Reptiles made with Nerd about how they socialise their animals inc their Asian water monitors. Would be cool to see you meet them, although I def think the enclosures they have them in need improvement. I would like to learn more about Dumerils monitors if that’s something you could show as they seem to be slightly easier to keep but I don’t know much about them. Your videos really are the highlights of my week atm, thank you for everything you do.

@DaarkOneVamp 4 жыл бұрын
I think the fact that Lagatha allows you to be on her blind side shows a modicum of trust that you aren't recognizing. Animals with a blindness on 1 side will often not allow you to be on that side if they don't trust you. They will do everything in their power to keep you where they can see you. You are doing great work Kenan.

I’m sure you will have lagitha settling down, she already is compared to when she first moved in and Pinky is coming on so much more I think her new digs upgrade has definitely helped.

Dude you need to get up to see Kevin at Nerd. When a monitors tongue goes to the side it means there very please with the situation. Take the chance and get some scratches in and that will help build bonds. That’s what I did with my Nile monitor and he is a doll to work with year and half and 4ft and still growing

Great to see Slinky! He's getting BIG! I "only" have two savannah monitors, and I work with hand gestures (also works with mongooses or big fish). 🤟= food, 🖐= finished, ☝️= attention, and if all goes wrong I do🖕hihi But seriously, it works. Key is to be consistently. 🖐 really is finished, even though I see there's food left in the bucket. I don't give it. Stay healthy. My fav is the crocmonitor By far. But Im going for a watermonitor soon. 🔆

would have been a good opportunity to just hold out your fist or flattened hand to Lagatha at the end there, even if it was a bit away from her - she looked very content and pleased, and much more relaxed then before. even if she didn't come to smell your hand, it would have been a good interaction to show her that no bad things happen when you bring your hand closer to her
