Black Throat Monitor, The Best Pet Lizard?

The black-throated monitor (Varanus albigularis ionidesi) is one of the biggest and most prehistoric lizards that you can get. Because they are huge, they are unreasonable pets, but their personality and care requirements actually make them one of the most reasonable unreasonable pets there are. That is why they were on our list of Five of the Best GIANT Reptiles. They are incredible, but is the black throat monitor the best pet lizard for you?

"You can always tell someone who owns a monitor because it looks like they have OTHER serious problems"-Clint's best joke of 2019

[@AkamuSlayer]

I'm constantly amazed by the variety of living organisms that like being pet.

[@archmaiden]

He's huge and only a juvenile 😮 he looks huggable as long as you dont mind a few chest scratches lol

[@valkimber3706]

I keep my black throat in my second Bently.

[@emmadrew3911]

Can you borrow Rex and do an American Alligator video? Obviously more of a warning video but still.

[@LonghornInOmaha]

Monitors are awesome lizards. Definitely need a giant, zoo sized enclosure or an entire room for these beasts. Great video, Clint! 🦎👍

[@zeynabuthman639]

He’s so cute. When you were petting him he was like ‘yes, human slave. Pet me. “

[@reizak8966]

I love your overflowing positivity and humor! Even when you're saying negative or morbid things, you always sound so perky. 🤣🤣

I still don't understand how everyone bad mouths savanah monitors. The one I had was the best lizard I ever owned. Lived over 12 years, was a gentle 12 pound giant, and the only problem I ever had was a tail infection where the vet had to amputate about half of it's tail. Its diet was mice, small rats, and monkey biscuits. The only problem I had was what I think every monitor owner experiences is that they will destroy their large water dish, and then finger paint it all over their enclosure. He did get a lot of ouside time with a ferret harness and long cable to a tree so he could move from sun to shade. He would go back into a cage that was 4ftx6ft, 1990's style heat lamps and heat rock every night and through the winter and fall. Never needed $200 a week in bugs, and an entire room in the house. I would say that most people over feed them or give them chopped up chicken and beef. I would easily say they are the best monitor for anyone wanting to own a monitor with no prior experience.

[@aurorasurrealis1032]

They have such intelligent eyes, so aware.

[@mitch1611]

Eyes monitor: °°

[@grosslyoffensivelizard-man3438]

Your mouth says “unreasonable”.

[@II-fm3ut]

“U can get away with a smaller enclosure until they become obese and die” I don’t if I should laugh or feel bad

[@katelillo1932]

The Bentley and rolls Royce bit had me rolling 😂😂😂 Clint is too damn funny.

[@edwardormsby1515]

On Savannah monitors ..."until they get obese and die" LOL - pretty much sums it up

[@lucasrubinstein923]

I had a black throat for many years. Zilla was a wonderful companion though your right in saying they are expensive. He had his own room though he was often allowed out. They are extremely intelligent. Thank you for your video and for bringing me memories of a close friend and one of the best reptiles I have ever had. Zilla you are gone but never forgotten!

[@pugsabi]

I love how you cuddle up to these huge reptiles and how sweet they can be. But then I watch an iguana video and you look frozen stiff, like your trapped in a room with a cannibal and are trying to figure out if they are feeling peckish(or an ax murderer). The contrast makes me laugh every time.
