I know I'm late to the party here, but it seems like he has much larger enclosures at home where he usually keeps these animals, and they only spend a short amount of time in the ones at his store front before being sold or rotated over to his breeding complex. Admittedly, they aren't excellent, but they are a far cry from the glorified cupboards I think people are complaining about. He also stated that he has plans and space for much, much larger 8'x8' enclosures for his largest monitors. Am I missing something?

As someone who loves and keeps Monitors those cages (those are NOT enclosures) are way too small and angers me. That size would ONLY be ok for a quick trip to the vet. Monitors are so smart and enrichment is so important and those tiny cages are not fit for the well being of the animal. We must be good steward of the animals we keep, and I'm sorry Dav, but he is not.

I agree 100%. This caging is not appropriate, you can't have a proper temperature gradient or the correct humidity and substrate depth in that caging. Being a breeder is no excuse, if you cannot house the animals properly you shouldn't have so many.

Very disappointed to see such small and clearly insufficient enclosures being promoted, along with the story of the iguana having its leg bitten off due to overcrowding it gives a clear impression of keepers favouring profit over proper husbandry. Despite this being an older video, it would be good to see the issue addressed as so many comments mention it.

The more I have been studying these guys the more I realize how much space they need for enrichment. It helps with their disposition as well. Those are nice enclosures but, not nearly big enough and they should have naturalistic set ups fit for what ever type of monitor is in them. All your monitors are absolutely beautiful, fyi. Definitely a healthy bunch. 2k+ for a monitor that hasn't been worked with is really high. At those prices you should really go above and beyond with all your animals every day. They are animals and future pets not just product. I mean no disrespect. Your animals are clearly thriving but, like the bite you took. That animal is cornered no matter where she is due to the lack of size of the enclosure. I would love an argus, black dragon or Asian but, after doing tons of research it's just not in the cards. Same reason I dont even have a dog. I don't have the time to fulfill my responsiblity and give the animal the attention it needs. I think you as a breader should be the last stop for even a researcher with all the knowledge and a true love for those guys. If you have too many to deal with on a daily maybe you should down size and turn 2 enclosures into 1. Make sure some one that spends 2k+ is getting a habituated pet. 2k+ is a nice chuck of change but, you should do a background questionnaire on their lifestyle to make sure the animal is going some where good and doesn't end up being passed around, hurt or worse. I watch so many feeding videos of people with monitors and most of them have no business owning such an animal. I had a python that was rapidly growing. I was young and got it for free. Had to bolt out of the shower one day due the my friends screams. His enclosure was my room. He only ate in his cage or went in it to get some heat. My friend stuck his hand in it and shook it around. It took 30 minutes of fighting because, I didn't know about the rubbing alcohol trick. The snake was 14' long and growing fast. I had no business owning it. Got it for the wrong reasons and didnt know shit about it. People need to be informed before aquiring such animals. I irresponsibly let the snake have free roam over my room. I'd be playing video games with my friends and this giant python would fly over our laps while hissing. He was fast. One time be stopped, reared up in a striking pose and started eyeballing my friends face. That could have been bad. Really bad. After the hand bite incident I found him a really good home. This family in Hayward loved their reptiles and lost their favorite snake who had an entire solarium with a nature habitat set up. I'm sure that snake is 150lbs if not more by now and healthy. It would eat 3 small live rabbits killing them all at pretty much the same time. So crazy... like watching a movie. It would grab one with its mouth while using the rest of its body to squeeze the other 2. It made quick work of them. I don't think people should own bernese or reticulated pythons. I'm pretty sure mine was a retic based on its colors but, they are big, powerful and can kill a small child in seconds flat. I love lizards, especially monitors. They are interesting, intelligent and engaging .snakes are cold, emotionless and hard to read.

If you want good pet monitors look for dwarf australian monitors like ackies, gilleni, pilbarras etc. These are MUCH better pets.

To all the people ad nauseam commenting about the enclosure size; finish the video, maybe listen too. The small cages are to get to know the animal more. A big cage for a flighty animal will never work for calming the animal down and building a relationship/bond. The enclosures at the end are more than appropriate for the monitors.

Gotta love when breeders say "yea they're real easy to take care of and are good for beginners. Oh their price? Around $1500+." Then "This is definitely a animal for experienced keepers. Price? Oh between $100 and $200." If breeders really cared about these animals shouldn't the beginner animals be relatively cheap so beginners can actually afford the beginner animals. I mean this is the biggest problem in our hobby next to misinformation. The animals suffer because the beginner animals are outrageously expensive and the more experienced animals are dirt cheap. I mean for example you can go into most pet stores and buy a green iguana for $20 but a bearded dragon can be up to $100 for a normal. It's no wonder people buy the less expensive animals and either outright kill or release them once they realize they can't take care of them.

They can't just price an animal based on what people should or shouldn't buy. A specific species might be a good animal for a beginner, but to get that baby available to be sold might have cost him $1200 and a lot of time. So he has to make that money back. Green iguanas are cheap because they are cheap to feed, and cheap to house. They grow like weeds. Bearded dragons require more equipment and more expensive food. The breeder can't make any money by selling them for $20.

Great lizards and super nice guy, but it’s hard to get past the size of the enclosures, maybe I’m missing something. No disrespect, just my natural reaction and concern.

Love u Dav, but those cages are WAY too small (esp for the water monitors). In his defense, tho, he did say that that's just the storefront and that he built each of the ones he's keeping an 8'x8'x8' enclosure (as seen in the last 5 min). Then again, I personally believe that that's still somewhat small, even if it is better than what most people can provide. The sand monitor colonies in the opening also looked to have small enclosures and not enough substrate, but I don't really know enough about them to judge.

Because I have a friend that's an up n coming breeder who produces quality ball pythons. He is the perfect example of how hard work and passion can get you noticed. I won't throw his name out here but if your open to suggestions let me know how to contact you. And it would be perfect if you were planning a trip to nerd because he is relatively close over the border in Massachusetts.

Please make sure you do a ton of research first! Savannahs are NOT good beginner monitors and require a diet of almost entirely insects! Feeding a diet high in rodents or similar items will cause the lizard to become obese which shortens the lifespan greatly, so unless you have access to huge numbers of large feeder insects you will not be able to feed the animal properly. They also require very large enclosures of at least approximately 8x5x5ft or so with 2 or 3 ft of sand/soil mixture to create burrows in. Please note that savannahs are cheap because they are wild caught enmass in the wild and arrive to their destinations often loaded with parasites and dehydrated. Many don't make it or require a lot of care to get back to strength.

Lol he was bitten because he broke his own said rule in which is common sense for most " never reach in and just grab them because they never forget " he lifted up the hide and before the little guy could acknowledge what was grabbing him the owner grabbed him therefore he ask for that bite. Hopefully some who are watching realizes how how important it is to always let your animal / reptile know that your not food and that your not there to harm them before attempting to pick them up especially upon them waking up 😊🤗☺️

If you're able to afford to money to buy the animals, then you've no excuse not to buy a suitable setup. Must be like living in a prison cell, no room for thermoregulation etc..Awful

As if the amount of animals one has means shit. You can do something completely incorrect for years and you'll still be wrong. Anyone who has done any research on appropriate monitor care for more than a day understands that even juvenile animals should be housed in the adult sized enclosures. That enclosure for the monitor at 13:00 is too small as well, these animals are extremely active and intelligent and need at least a 10x10ft space.

Dav, love your work! Thanks for doing what you do! Now... on what this guy has to say on those sand goannas is 110% BS! The 3/4 are 75% flavi 25% argus. The "pures" are N O T at all as advertised. The 2 breeders he referred to, I have animals from them both. Neither bred 75/25 flavi/gouldii and neither bred pure flavirufus. I've spoken with them both at length. ALSO they do NOT get 4.5' long. Noop! We're talking 42" at most so 3.5' max. Hopefully we see some fruit from our 2.2 next year.

Those cages look smaller than the rack system i built to keep my baby bearded dragons in temporarily while they learn to eat and stuff before sale. Smh. This is disturbing.

Am not sure why you would go to someone like this? Cages are far to small. And feeding a monitor i this case sand only rodents is also a No No. damn you are a good guy but this seems like a bad guest choice.

Holy shit, that poor water monitor... I'm sorry but this guy is just awful. He talks about how he loves monitors and how amazing they are and every one of them is living in a tiny cubicle that they can barely turn around in. Just fucking pathetic. If you don't have the room to house it properly don't fucking buy it
