[@lowalkerdemolition3255]

can you do collard lizards next please

[@zeus756]

How come you didn’t go to animal con USA ?

[@HissyFitPetTherapy]

I can attest these extra videos are more than worth the Patreon price! So delightful and hilarious! And we all need more of Clint's team in our lives!

[@TSC1978]

I live in Chicago. Same cold weather issues. Just subscribed! I need a suggestion for a small to medium sized lizard that can live between 70-80 F. Any ideas?

[@sheogoraththedaedricprince9675]

That turtle was all .... We don't even care.... whether or not we care....

[@fnglert]

Did not expect a Neverending Story and an Aladdin reference in one video.

[@tankermottind]

But will the agamids cut off your nose if they don't like your face?

[@sheogoraththedaedricprince9675]

Falcore or Carpet? Which one are you flying? Do you care? 🐢 We don't even care.... Whether or not we care....

[@crystalbrewster5265]

The Toad Head Agama I cared for wasn’t interested in being handled, but was super friendly and very entertaining to feed and watch.

[@neilchace1858]

I really need to stop watching these videos, lol. All they do is increase the list of pets I want! But alas, I'll keep watching them... it's too hard to stop.

[@pierson974]

Yeah i have a fire skink because of Clint lol 😂 But absolutely no regrets. Fantastic little lizard!!

[@darcieclements4880]

Need to start ranking them, then you can take the short list to a rescue and end up with whatever one needs a home first. That's what I do.

[@Periwinkle_the_Dragon]

Same here 😂

[@decayinglumi6627]

@@darcieclements4880 That is an amazing idea, just make sure you do your research first 😁

[@sammansfield21]

I'm glad I'm not the only 1 😂

[@stoobyderp]

Lolllllll I did NOT expect to have some old childhood trauma like Artax and Atreyu thrown in with my morning coffee today 😂 Very cool getting to see these lizards in the spotlight though.

[@apithonor]

I know, right? "Like Artax..." TOO SOON, CLINT.

[@KismetLizard]

I literally had repressed this memory, and since reclaiming it, it still really upsets me.

[@HeartsScales]

Same 😅

[@sheogoraththedaedricprince9675]

It's better than watching the nothing

[@xavierallen853]

The Artax reference was uncalled for Clint!

[@lookingglass3626]

Way to bring up a massive childhood trauma right?

[@sheogoraththedaedricprince9675]

Is a Racing snail 🐌 the best pet for you?

[@HeartsScales]

Clint rhyming = peak Youtubing! Top tier, my guy. Poetry + animals = All Yes! 😁

[@gildedbear5355]

Those are super weird looking lizards that are fascinating with absolutely adorable behaviours.

[@aappaapp6627]

Would love to see a video on collard lizards soon!! :)

[@HomeSlice97]

Me too! Collared Lizards are amazingly beautiful!

[@Zaotar1]

Both the regular and the dickerson’s collared lizards are spectacular and awesome creatures.

[@Aurinor]

Woah! I didn’t knew such lizards even exist! They are BIZARRE😱

[@malusignatius]

Fun sidenote: Leonardo de Vinci used the Toad-headed Agama as inspiration when he was commissioned to do a painting of Satan.

[@aussiesnakehunter]

I love the family agamidae has the best and most iconic lizards such as the frilly

[@KimberDillon4]

Thanks for the apology Clint, you are a kind soul and a class act.

[@daniellesmith5692]

Thx for the Aladdin kickback!

[@giovanniventorinni3197]

I was the original owner.They came from,Iran via Russia.We moved so we gave them to the store who sent them to,Clint.we had a great time with them.

[@alannabanana6255]

Arabian nighttsss. Thank you for that reference, Clint. Made me smile.

[@Mr.Nobody653]

They look very adorable when they vibrate into the sand.

[@shaetenn]

I love Clint's pop culture references...and his absolute joy in these animals make his enthusiasm infectious! Keep doing what you're doing, O Evangilist of Animals!

[@loispadgett6306]

I think they are very cute. Glad you showed them to us I had never heard of them before. Fun to watch them bury themselves in the sand. GOD BLESS 🦎💖🦎💖🦎💖

[@HissyFitPetTherapy]

Wow your explanation of where they hail from is beautifully poetic

[@lookingglass3626]

Thanks for another cool video showing another rad reptile that I'v never heard of! I'm not a reptile owner yet but your channel introduced me to the wider world of KZbin reptile channels and got me thinking about getting my first pet reptile.

[@partizannie7595]

6:52 when the male lizard lurks in hoping to snatch the larva only for the other to eat it. haha. these guys are neat!

[@wpsreptiles]

Glad you showcased these! I've worked with them off and on for years and they're so fascinating! Also Clint! Try misting them in the evening, they will stick their butts and tails in the air, and the water trickles down their backs into their mouths! Do it! Lol.

[@tonyto8384]

we need footage of this Clint in an episode!

[@trueluckgod1617]

What’s the lifespan in captivity?

[@lovelife4111]

Okay, Clint! 👀 Quoting desert poetry, good job! Love it! 😂

[@jameschristiansson3137]

The 'sarcastic fringe head' looks a little like Alfred E. Neuman.

[@mrperson8321]

3:50 speaking of rankins dragons it would be pretty cool if you did a video on them

[@scottskoi5592]

The lake if sadness lol nice shoutout clint reptiles one of the best if not the best reptile channnel on youtube luvvv it

[@KenjiPN]

Oooo man! Saturday with a new video, best way to start the weekend!!

[@AngelCnderDreamer]

Omg I been wanting and waiting for a lizard to be able to curl it tail like that, plus lives in a sandy desert plus easy to take care of, and here it is! It so freaking cute, I love how alieny it defense disaplay is, it so cute! And the way they dig in the sand, omg it just lovely! I totally will be aiming to get one someday. > < They are freaking what I been searching for. ♥

[@voidmaster109]

That little Aladdin reference did not go unnoticed, Clint!

[@HomeSlice97]

“The most devastating scene in cinematic history” I literally could not finish the movie after seeing that as a child. I still have not and never intend to watch it again.

[@sheogoraththedaedricprince9675]

The sequel was very very strange.

[@statickat1469]

Went from aww cute to holy hell in .2 seconds flat with the face 😂 Also love the cave troll reference 🧌

[@Sarappreciates]

Very cute! Their faces remind me a little bit of Dexter Jettster, the diner owner in Star Wars: Clone Wars.

[@godzillaenthusiast9687]

Hell yeah, phrynocephalus is too underrated, glad to see more stuff on'em.

[@danhester4408]

As much as I enjoy these videos, I have never felt particularly interested in keeping any reptiles as pets... But let's just say I might be on the lookout for when these guys become more widely available as captive-bred animals. When they're standing up and curling their tails, they remind me of monkeys... Awesome little lizards!

[@daniellesmith5692]

So cool! I love that you bring me something I’ve never seen!

[@GekkoTechGaming]

Every morning with the new video from Clint is always a good morning

[@joshuamallari5243]

I hope that you'll feature the largest agamid, the sailfin dragon, someday!

[@jpslizards]

I love this lizards! They're on my wish list for sure

[@ghostvale3502]

These little guys are so great! Ive always loved them, they are on my dream to own list :D

[@JalenJaguar]

These videos with Clint’s warm personality & enthusiasm both put me at ease & intrigue me 🦎 rad

[@Syurtpiutha]

Those little guys are adorably friend shaped. Love their little faces.

[@melissahunt9041]

Ahhhhhhhh CLINT!!! How could you show that clip?! 😂 I’m scarred. Scarred I tell you!

[@gehtkeinenwasan8087]

Here i wanted to thank you for the good watching time you gave me over the years. I alway want a lizard but you remind me that i am at the moment not at the point of having one and that is good for me and the pet to be. so i satisfi ma reptile thirst with your videos. thx for that :)

[@GamingFanactic911]

They are suprisingly adorable and the tail thing is cute too ^^^

[@blackfirehedgehog7725]

Aww. They're cute little fellows. For some reason I always love how Agamas look.

[@melissasyard1212]

Also loved that Aladdin reference! 🤣

[@tyliful]

been wainting these for a long time.

[@Yoshoggutha]

I love these little ones! They're definitely on my list but I'm very big on handling after 20 years of beardies, so might not be for me.

[@stax6092]

Cool little critters.

[@jasonbennett1667]

Yeesss Clint. Finally this agama. I hope my comment on a video a whole ago made you subconsciously remember to do this one. Lol. Love you Clint. Your the best.

[@rinaturalist]

Awesome video! We need more agama content!

[@LuckyStone888]

Very cool, like a lizard version of the Sicarius sand spider, I'm glad they are being captive bred, I had thought they were all wind caught.

[@ryans_reptiles1315]

You did not make me watch Artax die again! I was not ready Clint! Haha

[@crawleyman1117]

You should do one on the Cape Coral Cobra! Beautiful snake. Technically venomous, but has never killed anyone.

[@stefanostokatlidis4861]

Still it has sent people to the hospital, and a species of the same genus has caused a fatality.

[@GreenestTrampler]

That's the smuggest looking reptile I've ever seen, adn I love it.

[@hyperspades]

I can't stop watching these videos even though I'll never end up having 95% of these animals as pets, I think I need help Btw, I know you covered them with Emily a few years back, but I'd love to see a standalone Green Tree Python video! They're some of my favorite snakes of all time

[@shantellelybbert8533]

Loved the Aladdin reference 🤣

[@andersparker0228]

I think Clint needs to check out Schneider Skinks since he adores Emeralds so much

[@KaptajnKnud]

YESSS FINALY. I HAVE BEEN WAITING SOOO LONG, PHRYNOCEPAHLUS MYSTACEUS GANG RISE UPPPPPP!!!!

[@shalinaedge9928]

Mine are rarely hidden during the day. And they display some really interesting social interactions. Once they associate you with food, they will burst out of their enclosure (so careful when opening it up) to get to you and their food, and they get SO EXCITED that fingers are fair game. They are a definite - I have a trip in a 3X2 but a 4X2 would be much better for them.

[@HeartsScales]

*Most devastating thing in cinematic history* 😂 Truth spoken here on Clint's Reptiles. I would say it is closely matched by the scene in Dumbo where they take him away from his mom 😩 That still messes me up.

[@pineal0ptics928]

Never seen this lizard before, looks like a bearded dragon at first glance. The curly tail is pretty interesting .

[@BlurredRealityX]

Wasnt expecting an Aladdin reference in this video, but with Clint I should learn to expect the unexpected

[@ClintsReptiles]

You ain't never had a friend like me 😉

[@turtlejeepjen314]

I WANT ONE!!! I’ve seen one or two at the only remaining ‘mom & pop’ pet store…. Super CUTE but they are way out of MY price range!!! (Same thing goes for Uromastyx- I REALLY want one- I’ve been watching them for years… hopefully folks will start taking more interest in captive breeding so we can afford them!!) I saw an article in my recent “Reptiles” magazine where folks were hoping to do this, & they could be the next Beardies!!🙂 A person an dream, right??

[@Royalexotics7269]

omg i wanted to see a video about them so much. Thank you!

[@brodro8571]

"it's flat and immense, and the heat is intense" clint the reptile rapper over here 😂

[@arasartsandjewelry7647]

Great shout out to CnB! I got my brazillian rainboa, Alebrije, from CnB and he's awesome.

[@petric334]

You got me with sarcastic fringehead. Not a commonly known monster.

[@noahthomas3576]

Could you please do one on lace monitors. ps live in Australia. Love the content by the way keep up the great work.

[@whelvingherptiles]

You should do a video on the Mangrove monitor soon (varanus indicus)! Also love your videos!

[@cherylj7460]

Cute trio!

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Too cute for words!

[@abmf01]

These things always reminded me of the Predator, just less dreads

[@medenadrakorus9542]

I love these guys! They're some of my favorite go to for alien design.

[@Richexperience1]

Omg that is so bizarre. Great vid!

[@reidmortensen2629]

1:44. BRO WHY??? Whyyyy? It’s been years since I’ve thought of that 😂

[@susanmartin3762]

I think you shared a hidden poem with us about these lil Agamas. I wonder if anyone else caught it....i kinda hope not! You said... Ode to the Toad Head Agama.....I added that They come from a Sandy Wasteland, A faraway place where the Caravan 🐪Camels roam.🐫 Where it's flat and immense, And the heat is intense 🔥 it's barbaric but to them it's home! Is there no end to your talents? You're Stinkin' Rad!!

[@Petta79]

Thanks for doing these videos. They're fun and engaging, my kids love them too. I do have one question. As we've been going back watching them we've gotten to your videos at NERD and it occurs to me that perhaps it would be wise to include a 6th category. Maybe "Potential for Hazard" or something along those lines. Handleability in my mind should be about handling them and the ease or difficulties associated with it while "Potential for Hazard" could include issues like biting hazards (Alligator Snapping Turtle), poisonous (Rhabdophis Keelback), venom (Gaboon Viper), constriction (Large Python/Anaconda), stings (scorpions), allergens, musking, etc.... Is that something you've entertained or thought about? It could change your scores for existing reviews, lowering scores for things like the Gaboon Viper, which has a dangerously high score for as dangerous as it is to own particularly for the untrained. Also, potentially increasing scores and tightening score ranges for safer to handle reptiles like Rat Snakes, Gopher Snakes and Ball Pythons.

[@the_lomax]

Clint bringing up every 80s kid trauma the death of Artax... Damn it clint id almost recovered !

[@samwill7259]

I just looked up a picture of the "cheek frills" that these things have. And I've had this thought weirdly often in life but if I was a predator, looking down at that Dilophosaurus looking thing hissing up at me, I'd find somewhere else to get lunch.

[@lovebug9386]

Omg!! 🥰😍💯 So freaking cool.... Another addition to my list of pets that I want but, prob will never have!! Lol

[@huntercarr4288]

I dont know how you keep finding these amazing animals but they are really cool

[@andresmassey4767]

*hi Clint! i know a shallow water dish works, but because these lil guys are from a sandy wasteland, is there a more fitting alternative to keeping them hydrated? i can imagine they might kick up quite a bit of sand into the water dish, would a waterfall be a good idea or a bad one?*

[@britanica7539]

I don't know if you currently have any, but I would love a video on axolotls in terms of your rating scale.

[@bugtalk84]

Wow, the toad headed agama looks so cute.

[@Dude_Diligence]

Don't you ever post the Artax scene again, you hear me?! I come here for happy feelings. HAPPY

[@psychic3852]

I love these lizards. Also if your ever in or near Tuscon arizona you have to go to Ever Evolving Exotics its a great pet store.

[@namelessdragon330]

these are one of the most amusing creatures to watch in their enclosure

[@maxmcqueen1196]

Could you guys ever do a video on white throat or Cape-banded white throat monitors? They're essentially a much smaller and significantly cheaper (though still expensive) version of the black throat monitor which you covered a while back. I'd be very interested to hear your opinions on them considering how much praise you gave to the black throat, which is extremely expensive to keep as you said. Thanks again for the videos you make!

[@jyotishkokoley3969]

Hey clint, could you look into/make a video on solomon island ground boas? The information about them is pretty limited, and I'm really interested in them!

[@Dunglebung280]

Your an awesome dude brochacho 🙏🙏🙏

[@gpanthony]

Artax... this was the last video I expected to make me relive childhood trauma.... Those are some cool reptiles though!

[@SaintLumbridge]

Between Clint and Kenan I have such a hard time deciding who is the most wholesome, pure soul. Not that it matters, because they're both incredible, sweet people. Great rolemodels all around. I don't mean to take any traffic away from Clint's channel, but if you love his content, you have to check out Kamp Kenan. I don't wanna speak for him, but I'm pretty sure Clint knows of Kenan and watches him himself. ❤

[@darksouls-lv8um]

For some odd reason they remind me of a pug with their little faces. Also can you please do a video review on a Reev-Butterfly-Agama.

[@Tarasaurus13]

When are you going to do a video on rat snakes? There was one with rats, pine, and bullsnake, but not an individual rat snake video. I'd love to see one 😊

[@gothwald1713]

Too soon with the Artax comparison. 😅 That scene haunted my entire childhood.

[@NotRuyaki]

Therapist: Goofy ah lizard doesnt exist it cant hurt you God: im about to ends this mans whole career Clint: meet the toad headed agama

[@ericarichardson2983]

Lmao wtf even are these?!?! I thought the mouth fringe was nutrageous but then THEY VIBRATE INTO THE SAND! Lizard wizardry!!! The omnomnomnom devastated my heart

[@darcieclements4880]

It is a shame how many good species need extreme heat and UV. I've not seen good footage of these, just a photo and sketch back in college, thanks for sharing, they look quite delightful in motion.
