Hand Feeding Dangerous Crocodile Monitors is POSSIBLE!

[@chrisforthy]

Tom is the reptile OG. I love hearing his wisdom about his animals.

[@victorvanderwant3955]

I love all the monitor content were getting right now! Keep it coming!

[@rosendopenalverIII]

Tom is the man...cant wait for "the book"

[@Wickedreptiles]

Man toms hair has really grown out during the stay home order. Amazing video kenan! I love monitors especially croc and Nile monitors

[@KampKenan]

Tom is an original for sure!

[@Wickedreptiles]

Kamp Kenan he is man there’s not to many from the beginning left. But thanks god we have people like you and me that can take over the reigns and lead this community to bigger and better things for these amazing animals!

[@Wickedreptiles]

Kamp Kenan side note can’t wait for you to post June video submission for the army channel I just built a turtle pond and I’d like to submit it for the army!

[@cynthialbell4747]

Thanks Kenan for your visit to see Tom. He has such respect for his croc monitors, and truly understands how they think. There is so much trust between him and his monitors. He is so awesome. And I am so glad that he is sharing his knowledge. I am not sure if any one has done any research on monitors. His book will open a whole new appreciation for reptiles, and their intelligence. Yes more visits with Tom please.🦎🐍🐢❤️ Cindy

[@madsthedane634]

Hes a crocmonitor whisper and much more

[@markcloudchaser874]

1, word.... Amazing..I loved that.

[@curthatt6461]

Tom is something else! Beautiful monitors.

[@MrGir187]

What Tom has done with this species of monitors is simply amazing. I'm very interested in reading his book and hearing more of his knowledge and philosophies. Hes like the Bruce Lee of the reptile world. Awesome video Kenan, i'd love to see more colabs with you and Tom and other reptile species

[@linseyt7951]

Also very interesting how he said. They get a bad rep because of the keepers. Which is very important! With every animal every species it will always be the owner who makes the mistake when it 'suddenly' gets aggressive. This is so important for every animal out there!

[@mikesmith2718]

Tom is a legend in the reptile world he needs a damn monument put up somewhere lol

[@AXPorto]

Perfect! More Tom please, more Tom is a guarantee for exceptional videos!

[@FuzzyDuckling94]

Always fascinating seeing Toms posts in various facebook groups, even better seeing him on a longer form video like this. So much respect for his love for his animals!

[@KampKenan]

He's the best!

[@FuzzyDuckling94]

That he is! Beautiful crocs too. Definitely a species I would love to keep someday, I may need to move to a country with a better climate though haha!

[@solarphoenix999]

7:35 I love how Stacy loves up on that big boy in the back as they're talking about being bit by their monitors lol it's incredible how intelligent and gentle those huge lizards can be

[@christinakindler9112]

Fantastic video, the weather of knowledge is incredible. Learning that they will also eat fruit is mind boggling. Tom is a great person to learn from. Thanks Kenan for sharing this ❤

[@KampKenan]

👍🤠

[@abigails8935]

Love seeing Tom C videos hes such a wealth of knowledge! We definitely need to record as much as we can from him while we can! Awesome!

[@canrockmountainguides5553]

I just learned so much in the 24 minutes with Tom. Lots of knowledge there.

[@inkedwonderland9936]

understanding the animal is far more rewarding and fulfilling than collecting them like cards, you really hit the nail on the head, give them a reason to live :)

[@stkrieschel1]

I really like this Tom guy. He really seems to know what he is talking about. Its the keeper that is the problem not the kept. Goes for pitbulls too. Thank you for sharing this experience with us.

[@stkrieschel1]

And this title is very misleading. Hand feeding? Yes I agree thats cool but she is straight up petting them too!

[@ellestar2306]

9:06 - 9:07 You see Tom Crutchfield miraculously heal himself right before our eyes. One moment the bloody scratch on top of his hand ; to a healed mark. Just totally amazing!

[@HAMC_POPEYE]

Tom is great! A National treasure for us lifelong reptile friends. His croc mons are truly gorgeous and amazing!!!

[@stephaniemorgan5849]

It's so true that this is for all reptiles! My snakes are nothing like these monitors but the same applies. I have shown trust and they trust me. I never hand them to someone who is nervous because I dont want my snakes to be scared! I love my snakes so much and this video is so inspiring and has so much wisdom!

[@bluedeva]

Bless Tom and his family, the work and research he is doing is awe inspiring and it can only benefit our reptiles. Thank you so much for such a great post Kenan, let’s hope plenty of people see this and follow Tom’s lead in how they look after their scale babies 🐢🦎🐍🐊🐢

[@ryanfrisch6175]

That book sounds really interesting, definitely gonna pick that book up whenever that comes out

[@beausmith5039]

I agree 100% that Tom has done absolutely amazing things with the croc monitors, and I absolutely respect him to the fullest. With that said I think that Toothless Reptiles out of California is also breaking barriers with these guys. He has a 250,000$ facility he just but almost exclusively for breeding them. Now I'm not saying that just spending money on badass enclosures is everything, but he really has passion for them like Tom. LOVE THE VIDEOS!!

[@giotek_journage6092]

The energy from this video alone is unreal. You and Tom need to write a book! Top seller guaranteed. Love it.

[@IrieRogue]

I absolutely love croc monitors. Such an incredible and rewarding species. Tom is lucky to be able to share in these animals lives and experiences. Everything a human does with animals should be born of love and what most benefits the animal, not strictly of entertainment and their own joy. I am interested to know what material will be covered in this book.

[@belizeguy]

Always nice to see Tom. Amazing Crocodile Monitors! Awesome.

[@KampKenan]

Tom rules!

[@belizeguy]

@@KampKenan Indeed and Agreed! I met him a very long time ago. A very good memory.

[@javichavez2473]

Just recently started watching and I honestly can’t wait for every video. Love all the content.

[@jenniferallen7259]

Thanks for sharing Kenan! Loved it!

[@MQuirk13]

you guys are amazing and very much appreciate what you do n all the love you give to these amazing creatures

[@lisafarinha7957]

Wow, what a great video, made me emotional and brought tears to my eyes.thanks Kenan and especially thanks Tom.

[@DrakeDragonheart]

Tom's experience and understanding is just second to none

[@madsthedane634]

Ive work with croc monitors in my country an had a great time doing it monitors they are smartere then you think and seing this is just another level of working with these buties keep do what you doing its AMAZING 👏👏💯👍❤

[@theDABTAB]

I want an hour long (if not longer) video with Tom sharing his experiences, animals, research, discoveries (show me the croc monitor eating grapes xD), life and the like. Hell, just make a massive documentary styled movie-video about him with him xD

[@mlblue5355]

Reptile Time Lapse! Yes, they are really intelligent. Beautiful! Great video! Celebration of the Lizard!

[@arazlam4754]

Great video Kenan! You can really tell Tom know what's up when it comes to his lizards, and the enclosures are top notch!

[@xxfiftygy4840]

I loved this video. Hearing Tom talking about his passion, knowledge and respect for these amazing and beautiful animals makes me think of myself when I was about 6 going out to herp, finally getting the chance to keep my first snake, my dream reptile : Boa Constrictor. She's going to be so spoiled. I'm definitely going to look up for the book when it comes out.

[@vector8310]

Having such well habituated croc monitors is my dream.

[@iwrath2196]

love seeing those big enclosures with nice water features. great job tom!

[@Noodles-hp9yh]

How did i miss this video man. Sick of You tube only pushing videos of younger folks. I don't want to see that. I want experience and correct husbandry like Kenan and this man.

[@rikyannieh6119]

That guy is a treasure. Love when he pops up in other KZbinrs videos.

[@vicaroo001]

LOVE seeing Tom on the channel!

[@soradicalreticsandmonitors2390]

Best video EVER croc are the best do more on this this is a big feal

[@johnfiv842]

Toms wisdom is like an unwritten reptile law he has 60plus years working with these animals and it shows great video kenan love your videos

[@brandonream4049]

Killer videos bud. Love seeing this stuff from here in FL!

[@KampKenan]

Thanks Brandon!

[@KingJaden29]

You can tell even Kenan is in awe of this dudes animal handling. WOW.

[@pitman225]

Tom is such a legend

[@santiagoorozco555]

Saludos kenan, desde New York Y New Jersey,. What a great fantastic animals,.

[@KampKenan]

Thank you!

[@ErinRianStOnge]

I love the shade thrown at brian barczyk about keeping all those snakes in drawers.

[@geminiexotics5545]

What a crazy duo! Amazing animals.

[@KampKenan]

Love visiting Tom!

[@tpiphdeel657]

Omg I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!

[@danielkim1657]

Love hearing about all this reptile wisdom from Tom!

[@kaitlyn888]

This man Could Teach the World a whole lot about animals and how to be a proper animal parent! I firmly believe if anybody who is keeping animals in a debit is not the animals fault it's the keepers fault. Ita usually improper housing or improper movement or improper knowledge on the animal that perain keeps animal and how to act and react with that animal. There's a saying treat others as you would want to be treated that's not just for other humans that's for other species as well you treat them as so you would want to be treated how would you want them how would you want to be touched how would you want to be interacted with and to learn about that animal research research research

[@susanmartin3762]

Kevin from nerd speaks about the same thing about the intelligence of these lizards. he refers to them as "threads" and you build threads. He teaches that you can tell if the lizard is thinking or reacting by their body language and their eyes. Tom is incredibly intelligent about these lizards and so is Kevin ...I'm sure they know each other.

[@monicaw5036]

I hope there's a part 2 with the other lizards! Thank you for posting this.. I love seeing all the lizard stuff and that second few when he was checking out the camera I couldn't help saying HOW CUTE!! You can see him too, really watching and just checking out y'all. AWESOME! Big question, can just the normal person visit Tom's place? I've always wanted to go.

[@mattslev]

Awesome video. Tom is a legend.

[@ashleyking9985]

Great video!! Tom is awesome!!

[@hillbilly8558]

We can all implement Tom's words into our lives.

[@H3is10RD]

This was a great informative video

[@i_Kalash]

Besides the Perentie monitor the crocodile monitor is my second favorite

[@mattgosling2657]

Yeah I think the same, those two definitely have the nicest markings.

[@spanishmountains4588]

I would love to hear Tom and Kevin (N.E.R.D.) discuss reptile psychology. There is a lot of wisdom from years of experience that would be fascinating to learn.

[@michaelstruyf8641]

True inspiration!! Not only for reptiles but for any kind of animal people keep.. let them life live!!

[@mattclinch1976]

Being able to spend a day with crutchfield has got too be a amazing experience. And the crocs....

[@ellieyoung7540]

Love hearing from Tom x

[@Santiago-pl9mn]

Greetings from Mexico, excellent video kenan, love the monitor content, keep up the great work 👏👍

[@hamishperring9307]

Insane video so amazing can’t wait to apply this sort of thing to my Lacey’s

[@ronr179]

Tom is a LEGEND

[@ashleywolfendale9414]

What beautiful creatures

[@2Swift4u]

great video!

[@Dovietail]

You know, just what Tom says. Scale down to a bearded dragon: my boy and I had just moved to Arizona, and the 1st time I had him out he was headed for the hills! Very frightened! Scared that I would lose him, I gently pinned him to the ground with a broom. And when I picked him up, he very nearly took the end of my thumb off. Lizard bites HURT. It's fear that does it. Now we understand each other better. No more fearful situations, no further bites.

[@ashleytaylor5230]

Good morning Kenan!! Have a fantastic day! ❤️😊🙏🏼🥰🤟🏼👍🏼

[@KampKenan]

Will do. You too Ashley!

[@ashleytaylor5230]

Thanks Kenan! Tom is a HUGE open book of knowledge! It’s nuts, man!!

[@WildLife_Perspective]

What an amazing video!

[@LanceKirkman]

How very cool Thank you Kenan

[@pegiegault5931]

Those are two gorgeous monitors!

[@susanmartin3762]

I swear that the scale designs on these Croc monitors look like the Louis Vuitton logo/ print that you see on bags and purses and suitcases. Or there's a few little round circles that look like smiley faces

[@bludodge2008]

Where can I send my money NOW for Toms book?????

[@PresumablyTunes]

the colouration on these guys is awesome

[@iDaemonium]

I love these guys if I need info on my monitor i look for them

[@itstheoldone6866]

Everything is possible Kenan, you of all should know that 👌😉 Keep up the great vids

[@nasheda3550]

Kenin like Tom I have noticed something about my blind Leopard gecko "Blaze" Jim being blind made it to where he can not hunt his crickets even in a 5 gal. Tank. When I got him he was thin do to lack of food. He was lethargic. So I took a blood surger level test. it was so low that the machine would not read it. I had to get his glucose up. I didn't want to give him surger so I put some sliced strawberry and placed him near it. And to my amazement he walked over to the strawberry and started to lick the juice then he took and eat the fruit soon after. And since then he has not had a live insect feeder for he can not hunt but his on a diet similar to that of my Green iguana. He is now 1 1/2 years old. And has a nice fat tail and is super active more so then any other leopard I have seen at any petstore of in any other collection.

[@kodavulpedrius6712]

He speaks like a wise man who knows all

[@m0rktfh284]

Awesome...when you are watching a video like this, what u have to do is just being silent, watch...and listen.

[@Poteluz]

Two years prior he was bitten horribly bad and said he would never be hand feeding them again or letting them get close to his face or neck area because of the potentially lethal bite, but here he is again doing exactly that 😂.

[@fat3lwound]

Teach these youngsters brother!

[@TheTinManTJ]

Wow, how beautiful are those monitors.

[@xaoskuntablast3354]

Wild caught . Well that sucks

[@Apollo-407]

Tom is the man!

[@JosuesExotics]

You u have some gorgeous animals!!!!

[@Tomsawyerspit]

Excellent show ! I love Tom Crutchfield . He is such a wealth of information on reptiles . Not gonna lie but , my heart was in my throat whenever one of them came near anyone of you or visa versa . Beautiful animals though . Can't wait to see Lagatha like that .

[@embracenreborns6997]

This was such a educational video I so want a monitor but my family is not convinced as of yet. What is a nice tame monitor to start with as well as one that doesn't get big 👀💚🐢🐍🐸🐛🐊🦎

[@treenotion9466]

Florida native here, I love reptiles, but hated monitors until now. I just thought they were so nasty (unlike our home reps, snakes, Gators, turtles). Changed my mind. ❤️

[@nora4642]

People who keep reptiles well are the real empathys

[@JinuAshraf]

Great video Kenan! I just wish you could've included Hemmingway in the clip.

[@Saturn-Matrix]

Gorgeous reptiles.

[@Chaotic4Exotics]

Tom is the one who had the king cobra that bit Tyler Nolan love all the respect for reptiles you all have💓

[@bradshk5970]

The man is a treasure!Thank you Kenan

[@jebVlogs556]

You all saw how Mr Tom has his Verans swimming pool almost crystal clear🤔. These pair are so healthy looking. It's amazing to see where Kenan gets his enthusiasm and educational vibes/antics from.. Kenan,we need to get Slinky's pool that clear.. or does he prefer it kinda murky🤔

[@saga2964]

Bill? That's adorable! Lol

[@Trick-Framed]

8:54 on you see an Indian Peacock chillin in the background

[@Sarah-cg5vf]

Wow that is amazing.
