Kimberly's are definitely the most beautiful monitor on earth! And rare! Even down here in Australia their very difficult come across! Their heads are just stunning so elegant and the aborigines loved painting them on rock all across the country! Sir you have a beautiful set of Kimberly's im sure you sell them easily with lots of calls when you run out of babies! Glenn Love from Australia !

[@pierrefitch]

Really I'm thinking about a Kimberly monitor 🤔 are they your favorite out of all are they easy to care for

[@PunchingCacti]

You have really got to get back out to Jeff Lemms place. This episode is by far my favorite I have watched it over and over as a dwarf monitor lover

[@marcovelasco833]

first episode i watched and i think i fell in love with this channel...

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Awesome! Thanks and welcome!

[@Balls2U]

great video Dave..... it's good to see that there are still educational videos out there and not been crossed over into vlogs 😉👍 awesome work my friend. 👍

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thanks! But, ah, yeah. I recently started a vlog channel, but this channel will always remain about the education and entertainment of keeping herps. Check it out if you'd like: kzbin.info

[@MerryeliReptiles]

Kimberlys are so awesome. Thanks for sharing :D

[@carlbeel6955]

He's got an awesome collection and great episode

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thanks! He sure does.

[@randomtube8226]

Monitor lizards are among my favorite type of lizard. Something seems to always draw me in torwds them. But its hard to recommend them as pets due to the requirements of keeping lizards of their caliber. My first monitor lizard was a savanna and it was gorgeous. It was very tame.

[@kylesanimaladventures7747]

I have an ackie and don’t get me wrong, they are difficult to keep but they are quite easy to manage due to their small size

[@thedailytrashchannel3035]

Kyle William I have a ackie too. My boy is very curious, always getting in trouble 🙄. He’s escaped from his cage once, and when he was a baby he bit me. Now I’m in the process of training him, and he’s getting nicer. I love him very much though.

[@kylescoldbloodedaddictions5581]

Hey Dave I’m a breeder of monitors if your ever in southern Oregon I would love to have u over ;) Love the show your amazing 😉 Thanks for all the great videos

[@brentrussell3809]

Do you breed Timor monitors

[@hazeymystic8867]

You got a website? I’m in Oregon and have a nile. Never planned on getting a monitor but a family friend could no longer care for him so I took him after doing a ton of research. I’m in love with monitors now and would like to get another type in the future

[@theglitchguy781]

I love monitors

[@ChuckHorneTheLizardRoom]

Wow, those baby Kimberlys are awesome!

[@ChuckHorneTheLizardRoom]

Also, talk Ron St. Pierre into an episode on his work with Knight Anole morphs, please!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

I'll definitely look into that! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@SnakeHuntersTV]

Great Video! Surfing through your channel and finding some great content! Well put together for sure!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thank you! I appreciate the complement! -Dāv

[@r.wesleydukes2825]

Thanks Dave for all you do!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thank you for tuning in!

[@aspenstarn7523]

can you do an episode on lace monitors and there care? they are beautiful and absolutely amazing!

[@aspenstarn7523]

edit: i know you have videos including the but maybe a video specially about there natural environment and care?

[@inquiline]

Such an awesome video! Super impressed!

[@djowen23]

I would like to see a video on how Jeff made his large monitor cages...they cool looking and very functional!

[@Wickedreptiles]

The rock monitors tail almost looked like a leopard geckos tail. Love the videos! Keep up the good work!

[@animallover8610]

Ridge tailed monitor is what us Aussies call the spiny tailed monitor. At the end of the day it is an Aussie species and the name Spiny tailed monitor is hardly used in Australia. I had one for a few years.

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Just replied to your other comment. You're in Oz? Come say hi at the Castle Hill Reptile Expo in Feb. I'll be there!

[@l4cey151]

They look great

[@veganwinter]

such an awesome video. very informative and fun to watch. thanks for posting! :)

[@totaltropicals_tv1010]

I worked with Jeff, at Australia Zoo in the late 90's-early 2000s. Yep, loves those monitors.

[@knq1]

THIS EPISODE IS THE BEST DUDE THIS GUY IS AWESOME

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thanks! I agree!

[@rachelkunz611]

Love ur channel Dav Kaufman❤️ Keep making more videos!

[@DLC-music]

Argus Monitor in the wild please! 😜 🙏

[@MattHeet12]

Great episode, Jeff is a legend!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thanks Matt!

[@tighehovington4585]

Thanks. Love your shows

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thank you!

[@chuckwalla325]

Im only a couple minutes in and im impressed with the level of knowledge.

[@thiefgarr]

Makes sense to breed the Kimbelys and even the Pilbara, they're the expensive ones on the trade. Another awesome ones are the Tristis Orientalis. I know a few yrs. back the Pilbara was the most expensive. I had a Tristis Orientalis back in 2008, ..paid $600 Canadian for a small 5 in. baby. For the Huge ones. ..Lace Monitor is the most awesome looking.

[@curtatronmaximums5327]

Thanks Dave!

[@susankamody6064]

Great work!

[@stevelender6852]

Cool info

[@ashleyartus8430]

Nice one! You did make me laugh! "I don't have as many as I used too, just a few snakes and a handful of monitors" I know this hobby. I want ALL of them.x Gorgeous. Thanks, Good research.x

[@loraharris2937]

I like your show.

[@giowrld3boss308]

Love your videos so much information 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@TheCodarr]

Just got my first Kimberley so had to revisit video, awesome!

[@herkiee1]

2 years later, how is your Kimberley doing? Really think about getting on somewhere this year when i'm sure i can give the care it needs. Any tips?

[@GarysTandAExotics]

Hmmm I happen to live in San Diego. Ill have to check this place out if I can

[@baddazzgarage2953]

Kimberly's are definitely a beautiful animal!! Great favourite choice mate!!

[@LNCBG]

[@ChromatophoneNature]

[@patpatterson6073]

[@jajaasistores8188]

Hi.. I like your channel very much. I was wondering if you could do a series on sea snakes? Thanks

[@samgolding1476]

have you done a tortoise episode? if you haven't I would love to see one. love your channel!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Not yet Sam, but it's on the slate!

[@CriscOnSmootH]

Hey you!!!!! ...............................................you're awesome. Keep it up ;D

[@frozenmouse76]

Awesome! Thankyou !

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thanks for tuning in! Glad you enjoyed!

[@mstalcup]

Thank you very much for all these helpful tips. I am wondering if you could say more about the "stack" within your enclosures that your buddies use for thermoregulation and how to set them up.

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

I'll ask Jeff to field this question for you.

[@mr.beefygreenz1443]

awsome episode. .

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thanks Caleb!

[@LanceKirkman]

Happy New Year!! Wicked cool episode, thank you so much

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Happy New Year to you! Glad you liked the episode!

[@LanceKirkman]

HerpersTV - The Reptile Channel real pleasure to watch And learn

[@ImmanuelSpirit]

I really want to know more man especially with trying to see if I can breed my two Ackies

[@lucasclean5125]

This was awesome love your channel

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it!

[@Koumakazi]

awesome video! i'm trying to get me pair of Varanus Primordius hopefully this year so i've been doing lots of research and care sheet about them

[@ouroboros7917]

Great video, bravo!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

[@jasonneff6924]

Should do a roughneck monitor episode

[@williamvenable8494]

great episode. I've seen a few Pilbara for sale lately. They've been on my wish list

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

They are amazing, aren't they?

[@dylanwicklund6971]

I just love any video lol

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thank you!

[@baddazzgarage2953]

Nice monies 🧡 from Australia!!!

[@dboykinchen88]

I was going to ask if you could do a Boa OR Retic show. Now i get BOTH! Can't wait for that. Guess I will ask for something different. I love Hognose snakes and i think they are growing in the hobby. Would love to see a video on them. Thanks for all the awesome vids. Ackie's are my favorite monitor. His mutants were way to cool. Never thought i would see morphs like that in the wild. Keep up the great work! My amphumia is blowing bubbles so it's time to give her some Tilapia! :)

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thanks Damien! I know, right? The only wierdo I've ever seen in the field was a bullsnake with a strange pectoral stripe. And yes, boa and retic episodes coming this month (Jan '17) and Feb. Hognoses are awesome and we'll be doing another episode on them soon!

[@Melmac1756]

Great video Dave looking forward to seeing the reticulated python video!! Keep up the great work!!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thanks Alan! Retic vlog will be posted on my vlog channel on the 14th of Jan, and the retic episode will be posted on the 24th of Feb.

[@baxter2036]

im australian, iv been keeping monitors for years, never once heard someone say storrs monitor is actually the ridgetail, all info online says otherwise ? where did you learn that from?

[@speckledjim_]

"I only keep a few snakes and a handfull of monitors these days" ha ha

[@sippinmudd5672]

You should make another monitor episode

[@MikeTytula]

Would you be able to find the link to the paper he was talking about that shows they are the same species? (varanus acanthurus)

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Let me see if he has a link and if he does, I'll post it for you.

[@MikeTytula]

HerpersTV - The Reptile Channel That would be awesome! Even just the title would work haha

[@jgjulander]

He was probably talking about the Fitch, 2006 paper in Australian Journal of Zoology, entitled "A molecular phylogeny of Australian monitor lizards...".

[@tanako98]

I guess I been under a rock😅😅. Did not know all these species existed!!

[@joshp9964]

love the videos. just found u guys and binged watch all episodes. would love more green tree python videos. thanks

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thank you! Glad you found us and are liking the videos. I'm looking into a GTP episode now.

[@profetintraining42]

Can you do a special on the Gillens Monitor, Dave ? Thanx ahead of time

[@davidarcher1198]

I have also always said red ackies are more flighty and more likely to bite.. and been shunned for saying so. Its also the reason I prefer yellows although reds are mostly nicer looking.

[@WildernessTamed]

I like his Vipera berus T shirt.

[@pierrefitch]

Are Kimberly Monitors easy to care for what size enclosure you recommend

[@elifreeman3779]

This is awsome

[@kellyflynn7239]

The one guy from NERD Kevin ( I can't remember his last name ) has an amazing monitor breeding program!! Should definitely do a video on his ideas and way to go about it!!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Already did. He's featured in the DVD Herpers II

[@bmxking6582]

great episode! I keep varanus acanthurus and varanus gilleni. those Kim's were awesome to see. videos with people that truly know how to care for odatria are hard to come by, thanks for the great episode. Jeff if you read this can you send me a link to any forums you frequent please?

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thanks! I'll make sure Jeff sees this.

[@derekkillen7693]

New to your chanel and im realy liking it Keep up the cool work 🖒

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thank you!

[@chrisreynolds2382]

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Great suggestion! Did you see the episode with Ty Park?

[@chrisreynolds2382]

I will have to check that out.

[@chrisreynolds2382]

Wow, that episode was amazing, Ty is a very passionate keeper that has awesome animals.

[@DLC-music]

[@Visorak137]

I love your videos! Perhaps an Amphibian video would be fun!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thank you! I'll have a few videos from the Amazon coming up with tons of frogs, but I agree we need more amphibian breeder episodes, and I've got a couple guys in mind.

[@ashbrookdoodlebopsgautierw985]

I see those San Pedro

[@herkiee1]

Could a V. glauerti be housed in an height oriented enclosue? 80cm x 150? ( length 2.5ft x height 5ft). With some platous and lots of climbing bark and branches

[@camerongraves8398]
