Mountain Horned Dragon, The Best Pet Lizard?

[@sunnyy1322]

This is an awesome cool lizard! But yup it's not for me! Thank you! I love these videos!!

[@ClintsReptiles]

And that is exactly why we make these videos right there!

[@n484251]

Question why the end score is 3/5? Should it not be 3.2 out of 5 since you gave it 4 in handling and 3 in everything else?

[@AutomatedLady]

The little guy skittering away with his gangly legs made me chuckle. Almost as cute as a crestie splat. 💚🦎

It is a cute little scuttle.

[@captainbeastazoid7084]

Cuter.

[@t-bonewrecks290]

Got me too

[@shanek6582]

Bought my wife on four years ago and it’s the coolest lizard. It seems to love being held by my wife, it goes to sleep on her shoulder every evening.

[@viciousharpy]

I had a Mountain Horned Dragon for about 10 years. Used to see them everywhere and now I can barely find them. Went to a reptile show recently and there was only one vendor with two dragons available. Not sure why they dropped out of popularity, but they're very cool lizards. Hoping to get another one soon. Thanks for the awesome video!

[@johnflowers2736]

I noticed that as well. A Mountain Horned Dragon used to be on my want list but I don't see them anymore either. Maybe it's due to lack of export/breeding 🤔

[@alexdattel2757]

Thanks for showing everybody lizards I never heard of or seen. :)

[@ClintsReptiles]

You bet! There are some rad ones out there :)

[@themalaymenagerie3350]

I really like Agamids being referred as 'dragons'. Particularly my country Malaysia has a whole lot of dragons. Forest Dragons,Water Dragons,Garden Dragons etc. When I have all of 'em y'all can call me the Mother of Dragons

[@strawberryshortcake9053]

thank you for this video! i have one of my own and there’s barely any videos on them online and seeing one of my favorite youtubers make one on them is so refreshing. awesome video

[@INonStopWin]

Did you get a captive bred? Can you provide me with a link for one?

[@strawberryshortcake9053]

INonStopWin sorry for the late reply, i don’t know where to get them online as mine was a rescue off craigslist.

[@Julie-j8s8h]

Petco gets them captive bred. If they don’t have one they can order one for you.

[@giovaniprimera]

I have one, and she’s definitely something!! I will say though be sure to make sure they’re captive bred, I’ve bought two before not knowing they were wild caught and the parasites in them were more than I could ever expect! Other than that, they’re absolutely amazing to keep, especially in groups

[@tenchuu007]

Let's talk about your socks matching your tie and your pants. Tip of the hat to you on that, sir.

[@ClintsReptiles]

If you can match, why would you not match?

[@MrChevs-kg2yi]

what is matching? I believe our human minds are too use to uniformity or maybe it's a universal fact that some colors compliment each other & some don't ...🤔

[@Karasu-fg8fd]

Cause it takes time out of your day and it's easier to just have mismatched socks XD

[@randomtube8226]

Then I definitely ended up with one of those dehydrated and sick imports. I had my enclosure set up just like recommended in this video and my mountain horn dragon still died in a short time of purchasing. This was years ago. Would be great if they do become popular enough for captive breading programs. One of the coolest lizards that you will ever see. Those poses made for some nice close-up shots and were awesome lol

[@TheJunky228]

he's so gangly and goofy i love it great video as always, also definitely please keep doing those outtakes at the end, they're so fun to watch

[@christopher.d.parks.5]

He looks so derpy, but it's a cute kind of derp.

[@ruhalajn]

I asked for this almost a year ago and it was worth the wait! Thanks, man. Such a great video. This is my next pet...I'm also working on my advanced degree and am rewarding myself with a cbb after oral boards this fall. It WILL live longer than 5 years though.

[@cloudricklloyd1]

“Excessive day changer”. Love that expression. Haha. Yes poop can do that.

They all are if there worked with and kept correctly, everyone can have an animal that fits their requirements depending on how much there willing to learn and put in

[@coelacanth9311]

Thank you for the video, as always. Could you make a video about general biology of reptiles - things like how shedding works, how some reptiles are able to drop their tails and grow another, do they have hollow bones like birds. I'm sure there are lots of interesting details to learn about them.

We intend to do many things like that. Great suggestions!

[@pandamonaeon]

I kept these guys for a while and even had a male make it to 9 years old :-) little secret, they do incredibly well on a diet of Canadian nightcrawlers. Just put some coconut fiber and sand in a Rubbermaid tote, get some nightcrawlers, put nightcrawlers in tote....feed them foodscraps. Never ending gutloaded mountain horned dragon food! They will eat them right out of your hand. Since the worms are so big, 1-2 a day are all you need per dragon :-) hope that helps anyone who's interested

[@ClintsReptiles]

That's a great tip!

[@TooCuteToSell]

Wow amazingly great video Clint! I am proud of you and your team for posting three times this week! It will definitely help your channel to sky rocket which you all deserve!

We might, but it may or may not be super soon.

[@hyenatiger7731]

@@ClintsReptiles ok! Thanks for trying!

[@saurian11]

My son had one and it was an Awesome pet. His name was DEZ. He was an adult when we got him, so he only lived for a little over 2 years. He was a good eater (loved giant mealworms, horn worms and wax worms, but his FAVORITE were Nightcrawlers!). Yeah you do need to mist them often. He loved to be handled, but he would suddenly jump from your hand to your shirt or head, just like this guy did in the video. But he was a wonderful pet lizard!

[@jennifernewton1016]

Always enjoy your videos. I bought a CB Mountain Horned lizard a month ago at an expo ($25) from the guy I previously bought a chameleon from (not a good idea for me lol). I absolutely love my little guy, Adonis. I don't think they get the recognition they deserve. They truly are amazing creatures. Along with him I have a Gargoyle gecko, 2 veiled chameleons, 24 ball pythons, a corn snake and 2 boas. Think I may have a reptile addiction lol. A painted Agama is next on my list (thanks to your other video ha ha). Unfortunately my beardie passed away a few months ago.

[@rebeccahenry3502]

Just fyi for those thinking about getting one: females lay eggs multiple times per year with or without a mate and this can be so hard on the females btw. My female needs to be hand fed after laying for a few days while she recuperates.

[@aurorasurrealis1032]

Aww, they're so cute looking. They look like a cartoon character. I love to learn about lizards I did not know existed. Maybe that is something that will move into my big vivarium. But I think it'll be the cruziohyla craspedopus that will move into the big viv.

[@sme02]

I had a female MHD for a short time as a teen. My (now) husband who didn't know better got me one, wild caught of course. I only had her for about a year before she crashed. The few vet visits didn't help. My husband knows better now. But she was still a great lizard, very personable. Would definitely enjoy one again, of the CB variety xD

They're very cool. I wish they weren't so common as imports so more breeders would work with them.

Thank you. As an ecologist and as a reptile enthusiast it just seems of the utmost importance.

As someone who lives in the UK where keeping a house roasting hot can be pretty tough year round one of these guys actually seems perfect, never seen one before, so weird looking lizard in the best possible way, so glad I've seen this video, this may be absolutely perfect for me as someone who has wanted a reptile for a long time but never been super interested in the common bearded dragons and stuff and a euromastyx likes things a bit too warm for my ability to maintain (love em both just don't want one) I really want one of these guys.

Well done Mtn Dragon, Acanthosaurus, video. I sure hope there are breeders carrying on where l left off 15 years ago. These are amazing animals. The Lepidogaster is even easier to breed and incubate than the Capra but not as readily available, probably because of their small size.

[@dacrazycrafter5428]

This is such an amazing lizard. I’ve always liked lizards with green scales for some reason, and it looks just like a miniature Chinese water dragons.

[@alphabetstreams]

I had one of these a long time ago. Pretty sure it was an import, and she didn't live terribly long, but boy was she fun. She hated being disturbed during the day (big blue mouth!), but at night you can get her to hang out with you. And every time, she'd go right for the top of my head. Heh. Really great little lizards. Would try to keep one again, but from a breeder.

I got so used to him being there that one evening I ran outside to see what my dog was eating and forgot he was on my shoulder.
