Training a Monitor Lizard with the Mink Man!

[@daypaul420555]

Minkmans eye contact is piercing! He just holds that stare.

[@P_steez]

Mans man, it’s rare to find people who will look you in your eyes

[@gardenstate732]

Tbh he seems like he was the kid in highschool who people made fun of because of his intensity to his craft but he didnt notice nor care

[@DenGuleBalje]

Searching for signs of weakness. If you flinch you end up as mink food

[@paulafernandes6875]

OMG YESSSS...INTENSE....LOVE IT GES DEFINITELY A COOL DUDE

Imagine how them jerks just have farms of these tiny souls. Just so they can make fur coats out of them

[@johnregabo2865]

The usual Kamp Kenan notification, but then I saw "Training a monitor lizard", Mink man came into mind first, then I read the whole. Nice

[@evelyn_r]

I watch both of you guys separately so you can imagine how pleasantly surprised I was to see you both on the Mink Man’s channel and had been waiting for your POV 👍💖👍

@Katherine Smith each to his own ive seeing is progressing success with anything he train and its methods are not for the same reason so I found it different to anything else

[@dubaddicted88]

@Katherine Smith NERD are great - Especially with their monitors

[@theWazimu]

Kenan makes a grunt when he accepts, but not quiet agrees ^^

[@candicewdub2269]

What an intelligent, well spoken man. Very interesting

[@TheYAyaLady]

Coming from Mink mans channel every one here is very cool. Nice to be around like minded animal people. I feel at home thx you guys!

[@TheYAyaLady]

Katherine Smith Hello, thank you. I do not have any animals anymore. See I cannot afford any. Besides, I’m taking care of my mom more believe it or not. With my issues. I have a friend who babysat a ball python. I held her and played with her. She was very sweet. I love snakes. Some days are horrible some are great. But I will not stop fighting. I have to work with what I have, we all do. Find spots of happiness. 🤗👍🏾😀

"Reptile experts": whistling and calling to your monitors dont mean anything. Me: then what do they have ears for?!?😅 love the videos as always and the raptor training series from the mink man is soo interesting and I reccomend it if you wanna see how smart monitor lizards can be.

There is a lot of that sorta thing in the reptile keeping community. All kinds of arguments over x y z stuff.

[@lanewaldon6450]

@@azazel6342 every community has that lol

[@lanewaldon6450]

@Katherine Smith I agree with ya that they're not purely motivated by instinct and biology. Yes they are animals but to an extent they do feel. And snakes to me are just such an amazing group of reptiles. "Seriously misunderstood creatures dragons are". Lol

[@lanewaldon6450]

@Katherine Smith I've put myself around reptiles for as long as I can remember. I understand and agree with how amazing they can be.

[@skinksinthecity]

Oh & Mink Man just earned himself a subscriber...very intelligent well versed man....i really love Monitor's

Hopefully you've watched the last two Raptor videos.

[@skinksinthecity]

@@kamencic I've had soooo much to do lately I haven't had a chance...but I will now

[@natking1u1z99]

That motivation they speak of is actually what is called "prey drive" and it is very easy to teach a dog with high prey drive vs a dog who has low prey drive.

[@scotty1244]

As a subscriber to both channels I'm extremely excited to see both the mink man and kenan finally meet

[@curtism1741]

Hey Kenan, great video. Monitor lizards are smart and intelligent. I love to see how much we can learn from Joseph’s training of Raptor. 👊🐍🐊🐸🐢🦎👊

[@gaetanoiuculano7895]

That was excellent bro your progress so far is amazing I would love to see other reptile people even professional herpetologists take note of what is being done here. This is breaking new ground and will possibly result in discovering new things about monitors that have not been known before and never thought possible for monitors! I would not be surprised now if it is found that monitor intelligence is just as good or at least close to that of a bird of prey. Nice job that you have collaborated with Keenan and I hope it continues for a long time! Both of you are awesome in your respective fields and I love watching both channels. I would love to see Keenan do some training of some sort with slinky and lagatha. That would be so cool I am beginning to think monitors have more potential than we have ever realised! Both of you keep up the good work eager to see more!

[@Briathrachan]

Tbh as a former zoologist who did a lot of field work I think what he has done taking sort if falconry and ferreting techniques and apply them to what people think of as untrainable animals. I think the "working animal stereotype" turns some people off. Personally I find something really thoughtful about his approach. He treats the animals like partners and works with their strengths. He doesn't really try to make them pets. It's refreshing tbh.

[@jeffgreen3376]

I love how Kenan considers his kids to be his pets too. Hilarious. 3:18 I'd be pretty insulted though, if I was one of his kids. lol

[@thebabbler8867]

😂 I died when he said that.

[@amistenson2535]

Love that guy! He has awesome videos and is really dedicated to his animals! ❤️ Saves minks from fur farms too.

[@Alberad08]

I enjoyed this presentation of the animal trainer Joseph Carter very much - and BTW I already knew about his work. So, thanks a lot!

[@jebVlogs556]

Cool informative video!!!! It's always family friendly here Me recalling on majority of the videos with Kenan training and having Slinky run around the camp while his pops (Kenan) clean his enclosure. He has an extraordinary bond with him as well,the bind with the rest of the inhabitants of the camp

[@mackjeremee]

Hope next Kamp Kenan visit at Blake Exotic Animal Ranch or Blake visit at Kamp Kenan. Love this two reptile guy.

[@laartje24]

Bet this was the real reason you wanted to come to Salt Lake. So cool to hear you too talk and and discuss things together.

[@gd2234_]

I’m definitely excited to see what you think about Joe’s mink. It’s been cool to see him train an animal you wouldn’t think is trainable!

[@johnkoutsantonis7187]

the Mink man is one of a kind ... It will be amazing if he can get it to hunt like his minks.

[@kamencic]

Well, his lizzard, according to his last Raptor video, knows how to hunt. It's now about teaching him how to cash the catch.

[@KY.Jelly07]

My brother has a decent selection of venomous snakes. All his reptiles are removed from the enclosure and fed in black plastic bins. they have all made the association with the bin being the feeding area and as a result, dont have a attack/food response when in the cage. there is also little to no association between hands and food. so they can definitely be trained. "Bob" the olive python is also about as placid as any animal gets, regularly doing shows at schools etc. i 100% believe reptiles can be trained to some degree

[@mycaleb8]

They absolutely can be. The primary reason it's harder to train them is because they have no social desire to please you.

[@ericmoberg7679]

Awesome collaboration video guys. Good job.

[@robertolesen5782]

Most people buy a monitor and put it in a cage to look at. Some will take the animal out and with a bit of work, see if they can pet it without being bitten. Not this guy. He actually trains his to come when called and goes hunting with it, ferreting out rats and mice in the first complex cooperative human/reptile interaction I've ever seen. Amazing!

[@amitkatoch6976]

I have watched both videos (mink man and Kenan), apart from being informative one thing I can notice is video quality, Kenan's video is much better in quality than Mink man, nice camera work here by Kenan.

[@KarmaZyn97]

Lol the social interaction between you two was funny, Joseph seemed a bit anxious, I also picked up on some of the passive aggressiveness from Kenan. I think im a bit obsessed with psychology at the moment
