[@steamplayer3356]

Salvador Ibarra wow you have right.

[@Littlewings1211]

Great video! So much information in such a small space of time, perfect!

[@corrinthesadgay6511]

Such an incredible species. I was offered one that has not been well handled (mother bought for but I think they are a bit much for a beginner to handle! Awesome, awesome species though. One id love to get eventually once I'm more experienced.. Ideally one of yours, obviously! Excited to see you working with these Kevin!

[@ethanbrown7198]

please make more savannah monitor videos. I just bought a baby and have done tons of research on them, but i really trust and like your videos. Thank you for them

[@anandmohammed7375]

[@briannaingvaldson1986]

Love the ceramic tile concept!

[@TheFrostgrim]

wow, never thought that cutie like those savanas can roar like this 0__o anyway, excellent vids, keep up)

[@lisaharner3542]

Sounded quite like a alligators hiss

[@donaldtharider4688]

The way your approach is awesome. I like the community that shows how smart and addpotive they are and are becoming. I will love to see your project t years from now. After you mate for docile bosc monitors. Who knows I might pay the cb price for a rep off you. That would be great. And keep up the good work because people like you will take the monitor breeding to the next level with that smart docile male.

[@EquitySolutionRayRaz]

We have a granite countertop dude like 30 minutes away , he has all the free pieces we want , those 1” thick pieces seem to hold the heat for hours after the heats off

[@leorodriguez9344]

Perfect setup! Your videos are the best

[@ashsnape1937]

Hi Kevin 🤘🤘 these guys are great 😎 if you ever find time (as I can only begin to imagine the insane workload you guys must have 😳) could you maybe post an update vid on these guys. I watch your vids every day! Calming aswell as INFORMATIVE 😎🤘Using your advice, My ackie is super tame and my savannah is coming on nicely and even target training 😁 thank you either way buddy. Greetings from your humble English disciple 👍 stay safe all of you and happy new year 🎉🎉👍👍

[@ChuckHorneTheLizardRoom]

Awesome as always!

[@lisaharner3542]

Love them. I raised one from petco two years ago. He was five inches at the time now hes over 3'

[@patrickcrowell6932]

At 2 35 the dude started pushing the lil monitor like calm down lil nigga

[@Wickedreptiles]

I bought a Savannah from triple L and they gave me one with a slight case of mouth rot in the front what can you recommend to treat this before it spreads and requires vet attention

[@austinvickymoore3656]

love your videos! just found you recently and subscribed plan on talking my wife into a savannah monitor :-) just one and keep it till we are both old haha

[@vvexotic]

Savannah monitors are amazing lizards, and this video is very instructive to breed these amazing reptiles. Thank you for your precious time :)

[@suicidalpigeon1674]

Real question my savannah is starting to get a slight curl in the tip of her tail sh is shedding and I do have a uvb light and plenty of heat for right now shes very young.

[@bryandennis9722]

What do you use for de-worming?

[@Wickedreptiles]

Do you need uvb for Savannah or monitors in general?? I only ask because I’m plan on getting on and I wanna know everything o can before hand and there a lot of people that say yes and some that yes no I would take your word over the rest because you clearly know what your talking about!!

[@sarahferguson5791]

My saves are pretty nice they like to sit on me and get scratches

[@higherwrldsprodction2955]

im guessing he doesnt handle these much? like he said they are his breeding savannahs. im contemplating whether or not to get one

[@wesleywlee]

My brother had one of these and man was it cranky. Yours are way more personable.

[@jkmattpcolorado1970]

My monitor warmed up to me pretty well she allows me to leash walk her.....and she hangs out with my wife and me....we have a pretty good relationship when she's cranky I don't back down but I also don't push it....when I'm spot cleaning ahe always comes tells me hello walks up to me flicks that famous tongue I pet her and she just watches what I'm doing...i have however been bit a handful of times.....it took a while for her to trust me and understand that I'm mot there to hurt her....i have videos up about her.....which I thought was weird is I was cleaning her cage and she literally watches everything I do...they are extremely smart and their thought process and evaluation of everything little thing...is amazing....i love Savannah monitors they are so badass.... Big thing with these guys is patience patience patience....and YOU WILL GET BIT OR NIPPED.... I love my like yoshi

[@reza3624]

omg i want one so bad but i still live at home so i gotta wait

[@susanmartin3762]

So it looks like he wants you to give him a good pet. What a sweet looking creature. I'm just surprised you're not petting him.

[@switchl12]

how long will savannah monitors live for in capitivity with proper care requirments??

[@aloola1780]

20

[@grim6008]

(Not saying that he didn't try to tame them) This is what it's like when someone doesn't spend enough time with a baby savannah. They can be agressive but are really good pets for more experienced owners if handled a good bit at the right time and age.

[@lastnamefirstname9695]

Rifty you really have no clue who this guy is do you?

[@icompletelyagreewithyouyou2936]

You can handle them the moment they hatch and they still will get moody with your ass promise you lol,sometimes you get lucky and there really docile but 9 times out of 10 there going to tell you to fuck off lol.

[@donaldtharider4688]

He is doing a great job and taking this to the next level.thats why his male is his prize smart and dolcile. He even knew which lizards were docile and which are a holes he said it from the door

[@jasonrobottom3242]

Kestrel McCain cc

[@dragonsofthunder]

They won't fight each?

[@jackpowell_]

How long does it take for a male Savannah monitor to reach it’s full length

[@charlotteblu8503]

2-4 yrs

[@TheNick6699]

Have you had any success breeding them?

[@HuntTheKilla]

You keep males together in there together? I heard you said I keep these guys in a community

[@abinayafuun9748]

How long do they live??

[@guspritchett7024]

Abinaya Fuun they live up to 15 years

[@abinayafuun9748]

How long do they live?

[@slayinggangstersmofo1663]

Abinaya Fuun 20 30 years good care

[@joule-trix]

how big is the male?

[@susanmartin3762]

Samson is adorable

[@killbill638]

He’s trying to eat tf 🤣🤣🤣

[@coltonk9952]

You ever get them to breed???

[@paul-robinfranz9272]

I just love savannah monitors !

[@zacscannell7635]

There are way to many savannah monitors in one cage and you can tell they are not getting enough sufficient light

[@cbdfanguy_6009]

Zachary Scannell they have more than enough light he went through the specs of the cage an they do get light not to mention additional heat from the bulbs they use learn before you speak thank you

[@zacscannell7635]

Cbdfanguy _ sorry for the rude comment I’ve been looking into them as well as Tegus for the last 6 years because I wanted a sav monitor but so many people that have owned them tell me between the cost and size of the enclosure they will need there not worth it so I’ve been looking more into Tegus and agin sorry for the comment

[@andyalvarez2940]

how many Savannah monitors do you have and i also love your vids, especially about your Savannah monitors

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Haaaa I have no idea.... many..... I suppose....

[@Thekaboozle285]

Also, First.

[@initialjeff2476]

DAMN! You go at her sam! X-) ~~o O~ ___

[@killbill638]

6 months until eggs hatch 😒 wow what a life

[@bmanz8117]

I've seen these Monitors for sale for less than 50 bucks. I wouldn't recommend these for pets. They like to roam too much so cages need to be huge, and more then not are just nasty.

[@panzerkrieg3509]

The can make great pets, but the problem is most are wild caught so that means they are u trusting and come in sick, and as you said they do need a big enclouser. I plan to breed these guys in the future to get more captivebred babies out there.

[@bmanz8117]

@@panzerkrieg3509 I figured that. Good luck with yours. They are a very cool looking Monitor. I think like al Monitors, you have to put the time and work into them to have a decent mannered Monitor.

[@brianpartlow5530]

They calm down if you do it right. If you force handle them they'll get mean. I built mine a huge private enclosure, didn't mess with him till he started checking me out. It's all about trust building. They are pretty smart. Mine comes to the door when I open it, likes back rubs and scratches, looks at you when you call his name. Behaves better than most kids.

[@peteywheatstraw7717]

U only keep one male with all females???

[@ashisharayath1396]

Generally sivanah monitor females will die after laying eggs, so doing a project with less males and more healthy females might help the probability of creating healthy babies and maybe in long run it may change the cycle of female dying in future generations of the monitors. Just my own observation. I mean captive breeding of those species can at least help the chances of female living after laying eggs.

[@benwaballs8800]

NEVER KEEP A SMALL MONITOR WITH BIG ONES, THE SMALL ONES WILL ALWAYS BE EATEN!

[@YaBoyDave215]

Not always true but a good caution

[@riocarroll9597]

Well why haven’t this guys been eaten then ? Do u have experience with monitors eating each other ?

[@blacksheepnomad9000]

This is 2 years old I hope you've learned who you're talking to

[@brianpartlow5530]

Your ladies need more people time! They were acting like Nile monitors.

[@BigRiggzPits]

They aren't acting like Nile monitors... They are acting like a healthy Savannah monitor should.

[@Pr3datora]

3:18 are you actually keeping that woodscrew coming out that much so the animal can hurt itself?! You are calling this a proper enclosure and basking area for reptiles?! You are calling yourself professional reptile breeder? Jesus... :X
