Man, that Australian Water Dragon is one of the most beautiful creatures I have ever seen. The striking facial markings behind the eyes, the spines all down the back, and I mean, it’s a black, white, and red lizard. How much cooler can it get? Oh yeah, it swims, too. What a marvelous animal. I haven’t had the opportunity to keep a reptile before, but once I have the income and a good place to keep one (I currently don’t have AC, and I could never put a lizard the temperature swings I deal with in the summer; it would be impossible to keep its enclosure stable), I would love to look into keeping one of them. Definitely one of the coolest animals I’ve had the privilege of learning about. Keep up the amazing content!

[@edwardsinedu978]

I love my Mali uromastyx! I've had him for 15 years. Once we got the tank and lighting set up, he's been pretty low maintenance. He eats mostly kale, carrots, and bird seed. Never once has he been aggressive or bitten anyone in the 15 years I've had him and we've handled him a lot. We can leave him when we go on a weekend trip and not worry about him and maybe have someone check on him and his lighting once within the week if we're gone. He's perfectly docile while he gets his claws trimmed by our vet. 10/10, in my book.

[@godspi4609]

Yes caiman lizards....love em P.s. this is one of the few animal related channels i constantly give a thumbs up, your content is honest for better or worse you let ppl know whats going on. Mad respect keep up the excellent work!

I live in Phoenix, AZ and the Uromastyx is perfect for our climate, and we can even set up safe outdoor enclosures for them to bask under the sun in the summers for their UVA/UVB needs, and warmth needs. They are pretty cool lizards, too.

This man's passion for these lizards made me enjoy this video way more. Thank you

[@AnamLiath]

My favorite lizard ever was my rescue white throated monitor. She was curious, laid back, companionable, and affectionate. Her size made her a pain somewhat. She had a setup in one end of the living room, had free run when i could watch her (easy since she followed me). She came when I called mostly (expecting scritches). And often slept across my lap. One of my neighbors brought her a whole chicken or rabbit ever week, so she ran to the door when people knocked. She was also filthy, her poop was gross, her care was rather expensive. But she made up for it. She was an adult when i got her, and lived another 15 years. I've had other lizards since. I also loved my chuckwalla, and my rescue green iguana (so expensive to feed, but they shared diets). While not handleable, i also had a 250 gallon planted tank with various anoles, skinks, house geckos, toads and grass snakes. Also free range tokays in the house. The kids learnt quickly to respect the bark lol.

[@shadihaddad3112]

[@Delightedly]

@@GR-uc1gq A good adult Uro tank needs to be 2ftx2ftx4ft at a minimum. It can be a bit expensive. You also have to replace the UVB regularly. They really don’t eat insects, but you need to constantly give them varied fresh veggies (become a vegetarian, it helps!)

Being from Australia and having lots of experience with eastern water dragons, very common on the east coast here wild and as pets, they are a smaller lizard but they do need a HUGE enclosure. Most people here recommend at least a 3x3m enclosure for a pair. And being only a $40-60 lizard here, that's a pretty big thing to say as most cheap pets get overlooked when it comes to enclosures

In most lizards, four of the toes are positioned for running and climbing, and the fifth for descending (so they don't get stuck in trees like cats).
