Great collaboration and amazing content. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Welcome to the USA, Dingo!

[@agentm10]

Is Dingo coming to visit you? Would love to see a collab between you and Mr. Dinkleman.

[@AsheTheRedScout]

Hi Clint! Hope you’re having a great day

[@aprilbonenberger]

I love how he put his head on dingos arm like a dog wanting cuddles. This is the cutest thing ever! 🦎🦖

[@bkm2797]

Yes, Kevin and Dingo finally meet in person, and with a Croc Monitor and a couple of pythons. Truly is amazing how Kevin relates with these animals, so maybe one day Dingo, you might get your wish. Great to see everyone!

[@amandalin5882]

I loved everything about this! Kevin is magic when it comes to training and I love seeing dingo soak up all the knowledge. When the monitor crawled on dingo I got goosebumps. I’m so stoked for you dingo!

Always great to see Dingo wherever he is. But this is a brilliant way to see him, along side Kevin and the magnificent Crocodile Monitor. I'm learning a lot about Monitors and their behaviour and husbandry from videos like this. Wonderful!

[@ferrisulf]

This was fascinating. Kevin's knowledge he's gained about his animals is just incredible. I've used it with my own snake and it's been fantastic

[@jyvaineorchids2255]

Such a great thing to hear ❤️

[@alyssastickels1324]

I love how relaxed the croc monitor is, and no one can convince me that he didn’t absolutely love all the attention and all the pets. I’m in love with him 💜

[@crystalbainbridge5339]

I'm stoked you guy's met in person and we have been able see this . You can see your definitely enjoying your time together. Hopefully a great friendship to stay.

[@samanthadreiling5699]

I love how the monitor just leans toward Kevin every time he stops petting.

[@whyaddnamehere]

Dingo and Kevin bring the best parts out of each other. Love this collab!

[@pythonalley8882]

Seeing Kevin and Dingo together I can’t help but to think of two kids. There love for animals is down right contagious.

[@cindybell9859]

It was so nice to see Dingo with Kevin. They both share a love, and passion for all reptiles. That croc monitor was so tame, and friendly. Kevin worked his magic on him. I think Dingo was afraid to get so close, but the monitor rubbed his head on his hand. That was a nice suprise for him. I guess that the croc monitors have a bad reputation. Not with Kevin. He always shares such important techniques with his to treads of trust. Dingo really wants one now. He will be so happy when he gets a socialized croc monitor baby from Kevin. Kevin has so much knowledge to share. That will help so many people know how to tell what kind mood their reptile is in, before they try to pick it up.🐊🦎🐍🐢♥️Cindy

[@loriw2661]

Dingo and Kevin……the reptile whisperers of our planet. To have, in my opinion, two of the greatest reptile minds in one place/video is brilliant!! That Croc Monitor is just beautiful and I can see him thinking. Those eyes are so expressive and curious. Well done, both of you!!🐊🦎❤️

[@scottbourret1190]

Happy to see you two finally get to meet in person. These collabs are great to watch, and much needed with all the future challenges for the industry, hobbyist, etc.

[@jamesgreen3417]

That croc monitor is incredible the work that has gone into his socialism is amazing, they can be very aggressive and very inquisitive animals. Great to see Dingo back. Can’t wait to see an croc monitor on his channel

[@rendtech]

I shed a tear when the monitor rubbed his head on Dingo's hand.

[@susanfarish7451]

That bromance is real 😍I can’t get over Dingo being so quiet and still lol xx

The interactions with the monitor: effortless, educational. The interactions between you two: absolutely fantastic! I ship this friendship! ;D

[@k-kron]

This is THE best video I have seen in a long time. across all of reptile KZbinrs. I love how Kevin treats animals, the passion he has, and how willing he is to share his wealth of knowledge to help animals, keepers, and non-keepers. The world needs more Kevins

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Very kind! Appreciated. K

[@therealgigi_]

So interesting watching this interaction. I'm scared of snakes.. But I've learned so much watching Kevin and his techniques with his snakes and lizards. I have a whole new respect for snakes now. I go out of my way to not hit them on the road. When I'm in the woods I'm more aware of my surroundings.

[@iveybullard8988]

The dream team, Kevin and Dingo. That monitor is so cool!

I have never seen a monitor turn around and rub his head on somebody's hand. That's like what a cat would do. !!! Dingo must have some crazy good pheromones to have a Croc monitor behave like that around him. That was so cool to see

[@conniecutruzzula9199]

I just found your new channel Dingo, thank you for coming back back on to utube. Also thanks to Kevin and his team for helping. The only videos I watch are of Kevin and Dingo. They are great teachers instead of just showing the animals and mistreating them. Love you both 🐊❤️

I love how Dingo is making his rounds to all my favorite KZbinrs. I love Dingo and Kirsty. I've been waiting a long time for him to come to the US. you should definitely send Dingo some croc monitors. 🤣

Kevin and Dingo, SO AWESOME TO SEE YOU GUYS TOGETHER!!!!! Dingo, You're in New Hampshire, SOOOOOO DAMN CLOSE TO TORONTO, CANADA!!!! I really wish you could all make it up to Toronto for a day before you go south to Florida. There are so many reptile enthusiasts here. We have one of the best Reptile, Amphibian, Snake, Pet Stores here in Toronto called Tails and Scales, I would love to bring you there. They have a number of kinds of monitors, tortoises, snakes, and an incredible line of products for them. If you can make it up this way, please let me know, I'll gladly show you around some and contact some other keepers here in Toronto to maybe get together somewhere. And Kevin, anytime you can make it to Toronto, Canada, same for you as for Dingo. Thanks for this meeting on video, I can only imagine all the things you have both been talking about and looking at with the 2 of you together. Keep Safe Always, Matt - Toronto, Canada

[@ethanbrown7198]

Love seeing how calm the croc monitor was with Kevin. Was amazing to watch. I'm so happy to see Dingo visiting everyone! He looked positively in love with that croc monitor. I hope he ends up with one because he was completely entranced.

[@TheHeadown]

Kevin is the man, his contribution to the reptile community is undeniable. In the beginning, you can see that Croc Monitor leans against the side Kevin is "petting". That is something you don´t see every day. Incredible stuff as always when it comes to that man.

[@cmfall1986]

Love seeing Dingo on these other channels. Seriously amazing dude.

[@andrewbloom7694]

Makes sense that out of all the other snake youtubers Dingo is the one hed get along with most. Even though his on screen personality is so different than Kevins, they clearly are 2 of the most knowledgable and experienced handlers around. And they seem to have very similar views on things. Like Dingo doesn't do live feeding on camera, or if theres any alternative. They dont fake content/stuff pythons in a sewer to "find" etc. etc.

[@fastbreak0822]

Although Kev would absolutely loathe having to show up and record episodes....... While Dingo would surely show up early...... I recommend NBC giving these guys their own herp show on prime time..... I say NBC so the general public who only has a flip phone and some aluminum foil to pick up the general television signals.... I have been keeping herps for 45 years now and been in every facet of our industry..... Kevin is essentially and has earned a real doctorate in herp psychology... He’s practicing field labs daily...... He will wrote the textbooks and provide the content from experience...... Dude genuinely cares about real education unselfishly.... There is essentially a modern day velociraptor chilling on a table with dwarf titan bias crawling on the floor during this clip...... Chilling......looking for affection with 100% trust in the humans in the room...... I’m just emphasizing and pointing this out...... Speaks for itself.... NERD rules.......!

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Wow. That is incredibly kind. Thank you !!!!!!! K
