I grew up in Australia and spent my childhood watching perenties. So much so that Perentie became my nickname.

[@rex90pawprint]

The perentie’s head looks just so raptor like! Straight out of walking with dinosaurs!

[@Ichisuitetsu]

You are my hero, I just wish I could be like you. I rescued a green iguana from a bad home and his growth was stunted because of the small cage he was kept in. you have inspired me so much

[@ballistikitty3749]

Awesome monitors! One of my favorite reptiles.

[@jesusml2473]

[@sofachips]

Wow so cool.....Love them

[@thecatsmeow9972]

So cool 😎 that was a cool trip down under

[@MichaelZola]

Great episode with the monitors ***** Very cool that you met your dream reptile.

[@iGoddess]

Wow he def doesn't seem to have a good relationship with his monitors. The way he had to grab and catch them was pretty rough and somewhat questionable 🤔 As soon as Kenan puts his hands on the lil lady lacey, she stopped trying to nip and squirm. Kenan has the mighty monitor touch and these animals can feel his energy and his love and respect for them. I love how Kenan always respects the way ppl handle their lizards, even though he most likely knows how to handle them a million times better. Ppl forget he has his own lizards and his lizards are pretty damn awesome 👌

[@vitalic_drms]

crikey what a beauty you're alright mate you're alright

[@OmegaMegalodon]

Yessss. I've actually seen a Bells Phase outiside of Australia, it was in Germany. The guy was selling the hatchlings for around 5K I believe and he also mentioned some were shipped here to the US.

[@oderhating_potato2585]

[@Karma-og1bp]

Hey Kenan I'm meet you long before your love for reptiles

[@bgindt]

Oh my gosh a real monitor handler. awesome video

[@oderhating_potato2585]

unknown you fucktard.many people own monitors.

[@bgindt]

OderHating_ Potato ok Monitor god. many people don't take care of their reps. Due to lack of education. But you already knew that . But your response tells me all I need to know about you.

[@HerbDerderdrerd]

What do you know about the recent Nile monitor lizard problem in Florida?

[@LightningReptile]

You're in luck! Some of my sources tell me that Lace Monitors do exist outside of Australia and will hopefully pop up again. Someone I know hatched 5 of them a few years ago. Apparently, they're pretty difficult to get rid of. One person had sold one and later sold it on fauna classifieds. Another source told me over the past 6 years there have been at least half a dozen in the classified section of a forum site. Here is some more news: there’s an Asian guy in South FL also who breeds Lace Monitors here and there, but I don't know his name. There is a guy named John (3240?) who breeds them in the US. The only person I know of in the US who was breeding them was Frank Retes (Kingsnake.com monitor forum) in Arizona but I don't think he's produced a clutch in years. One source said that Lace Monitors have been sold in the US but females are extremely rare and seldom sold. 9 out of 10 lace monitors that have been for sale in the U.S. are males. There have been pairs and trios on kingsnake. There are a few breeders, in the U.S., Prehistoric Pets (has his own KZbin channel: prehistoricpetstv), and Dan from Arizona are two that I have found. On a side note, a guy in the UK breeds the Bells phase locale. That is a little information on Lace Monitors in the US that I have been able to recover.

[@FirstCitizenXIV]

Kamp Kenan, If you really are interested in getting one of those beautiful Lace monitors I recommend checking up in faunaclassifieds . com under the monitor section, they are incredibly expensive though. Around 6 - 10k a pop.

[@no-mg3vz]

So gorgeous

[@JamieS1992]

True we don't export our animals expect a few things like kangaroos to Zoo's and special animal place's which leads to you being one lucky U.S reptile keeper you have a pair of Eastern Long-Neck Turtles which I find to be the best kind of turtles when I had mine in the tank I would offen go to have a quick look then notice 2 hours have passed just one of the awesome aussie animals

[@ArachnoWolf]

I've been wanting a monitor forever. Room is an issue, but I really, really want a Timor Monitor when I get one. Damn though! Those Bells Phase Lace are gorgeous. Too bad they aren't in the states, for damn sure.

[@nicokleimann5251]

You should do a Brazilian MY NAME IS EDIEL

[@alexcrowder1673]

I've got a question I can't find an answer to ANYWHERE. Is it legal for me to take my Nile monitor with me to Australia if I were to move there? Or is it atleast legal to own a Nile monitor in Australia?

[@alexcrowder1673]

+Kamp Kenan Can you buy non native species in the pet trade? Don't they have ball pythons and leopard geckos etc available?

[@alexcrowder1673]

+Kamp Kenan WOW what a bummer. That's really surprising. Thanks for the info!

[@crocdoc2]

+Alex Crowder Australia has around 1000 species of native reptile, more than any other country or continent on Earth. It's not surprising that exotics aren't allowed in, given that they can cause ecological disasters or introduce diseases not currently present here. The question is, with this many reptiles to choose from why would someone want to bring others in?

[@TheMexican1821]

+Alex Crowder It's a small world after all.

[@zachmiller8568]

+crocdoc2 so if i bought an australian native, is it legal it take it with me to the usa?

[@seldomscales4616]

You should definitely get one of these Kenan. I plan on getting one :)

[@zachmiller8568]

same here

[@seldomscales4616]

+Zharkslayer07 awesome

[@Spongy_Udderz]

+Harrys got geckos do your research tho XD :)

[@seldomscales4616]

+SpongyUdderz Minecraft Definitely haha.

[@oderhating_potato2585]

Harrys got geckos they cost 1000 dollard.(a perentie that is).

[@dragonlordrory]

awsome video i love worken with parenties but yeh lacemonitors definatly my favorite, and there vary closly related to the komodo aswell witch is pritty cool

[@LightningReptile]

*****

[@KAMIKAZECHESS]

***** i see them pretty often when i go herping :P

[@alexcrowder1673]

Right?! I wish lace monitors were easier to get in the states. I don't even want the bells phase, I just love the banding on the regular lace monitor. It's the prettiest monitor out there in my opinion. Although I do love my Nile also.

[@boovaher]

+Kamp Kenan - if the Lacies got out in Florida, you would have a larger problem than you do with the Burms... Lacies, unlike snakes, will settle around people and become rather unconcerned. In suburbia they raid garbage bins, attack dogs and cats that threaten them, crash your yard parties and pinch your tucker and happily take care of a lot of your own native species. Bird eggs are a specialty. Nom Nom.

[@CronusandRhea]

Rather have lace monitor than pythons running around.

[@daviddaugherty2144]

lol what was hanging over the camera in the first shot?

[@robertolesen5782]

I can see the wisdom in Aus not letting animal imports in but I think they should reconsider exports. They could insist these animals be captive bred thereby helping the local economy and protecting those in the wild as well as building up a reserve. For instance, I don't think Perentie are all that plentiful even there.

[@KampKenan]

Would be amazing to have one her!

[@alanagee6043]

So gorgeous. Oh I want one so bad. I live in ky and I have zero reptilian fan friends. So idk how I’ll make it work but hopefully one day

[@cristinalizar1693]

What? Why do you need fans

[@kriukrenyah2908]

im from indonesia,monitor lizard is over population in my village :)

[@tysonschenkeveld7665]

i bealive that prehistoric pets is working with lace monitors

[@east.coast.herpetology7104]

Grapes

[@kylescoldbloodedaddictions5581]

Hey you ever come to Oregon? I keep reptiles and make my own enclosures been thinking of making a channel but was looking for some help maybe and if u ever wanted to visit my place you would b more than welcome ;) thanks and love the channel easy my fav

[@abdulmuhaiminal-ahziz9533]

That monitor lizard is going to want unhatched still incubating bird eggs. and young mammals.

[@oderhating_potato2585]

Abdul Muhaimin Al-Ahziz of just rats,large fish,some blue tongue lizards,other lizard kinds,turkeys,chicken etc.

[@bmxking6582]

hey Kennan hook a fellow bmxer up and stuff a varanus gouldii in your luggage and smuggle him back to the states for me. you and I will be the only ones who know, well besides the NSA they are probably reading this but it's not their department, you know how government jobs work. lol

[@alexcrowder1673]

Dude just yesterday AT a reptile shop, I bumped into an NSA and an FBI wifi network that was being set up from a van. We even saw the vans (which we're disguised as cable company vans). I even went by the next day and they were gone. I have no idea what they we're doing there but it was crazy. Ironically the two wifi networks were labeled as "FBI surveillance van" and "NSA security network". I mean it could have been a prank but I've never seen anything like it before.

[@Luke-cp2jz]

You can change your wifi name, probably what they did. Unless it was an official FBI van, the NSA is kinda pointless to leave the HQ since it does most things through the internet. People near me have their wifi as FBI Surveillance Van, I doubt it's them though since there are no vans near me and it's always there

[@alexcrowder1673]

Luke The Vampire Slayer I'm sure that's probably the case. Still though, after the vans disappeared so did the wifi. I now work at the shop where the vans were seen and I haven't seen the wifi or the vans before or since. You are probably right that it's not the real NSA or FBI but it's still super weird. I sure can't explain it.

[@unoriginalusername1284]

Wish we had more perenties in the US. ;_;

[@oderhating_potato2585]

Unoriginal Username yes,exactly why america sucks.

[@east.coast.herpetology7104]

Can i feed my red eared sliding turtle graps

[@cameronn625]

Hey I like to get turtle-nutrition tips from the youtube comment section too!

[@fromindramayucity7892]

Excusme Maybe you interested with lizard island with white sand The name is Pulau biawak indramayu Thank you for your attation

[@Greywuylf]

People shouldn't keep wild animals as pets or for breeding purposes. It's just not right.

[@achamberednautilus1847]

Anna OConner these are captive bred animals, not wild animals. If it were a wild caught individual it would've bitten him and not only that but it's illegal to collect these from the wild in Australia
