Kevin is truly amazing at his craft; these extended videos showing insight into the practical elements of reptile husbandry is pure gold! Keep bringing the content and thank you for the whole team at NERD!

[@jasonstaples4364]

I can sit here an watch Kevin interact with monitors or whatever for hours. Ty

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Well good, get ready. The next video is in a Croc monitor that likes to bite its previous owner and what I do to Change that! K

[@reginaphalanges7331]

Watching those water monitors munching on boiled eggs just made my day!!!❤😂 So freaking adorable!!!

[@SuperLogan8054]

I'm definitely interested in a future clutch. I love the white water monitors, but size has always been an issue. Didn't know that snow white was adult size. Exactly size i would want

[@taylorgalvan1414]

Kevin all ur videos teach us so much. Your so intelligent and have so much knowledge. I used to hate reptiles and be so scared of them but because of you and watching ur channel has changed all that for me!! And Donnie i love you also and think what you do and how you create all his videos are perfect and when you call people out I love how you have nothing but facts. Best channel on KZbin

[@subbiebie5920]

Wonderful! I can’t get enough, please more content on these guys. Those 3 young ones at the end were awesome!

@Kevin so great to see you back in a room with the reptiles the beautiful black dragons are my favorites but you got me with the snow white monitors they are absokutely beautiful too!!! Can't wait to see more of you at least once a week or maybe even more of we dan get you more often!!! You're an amazing teacher, educator, conservationist and you do amazing rescues that you film for us to know what we are possibly looking at as far as wild reptiles and some of the issues with those that you are aware of treating with an expert veterinary staff. Kudos Kevin I miss the he!! Out of you!

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Ohhhhh you are so kind!!!! Thank uuu. For now, our medical vids are not going as this channel is having issues with that content. K

Those little guys are just like kids. Their sibling has something so they have to try to take it away. The one right next to them isn’t good enough. They’re so funny.

[@Snugglez187]

Someday, maybe after I retire and have the time to dedicate, I'll realize my dream of owning one of these. I love that you're breeding some smaller ones.

[@loriw2661]

Piranha is stunning!! He’s like, “But dad, I’m just checking things out!” Lol! He’s gorgeous, Kevin!! 🦎❤️🦎

Piranha is a puppy in a monitor suit! - puppys and some adult dogs use their mouth to explore their world... What an absolutely beautiful creature he is. Fingers crossed that you come up with a way for a breeding to work.

What a perfect example of what selective breeding can do. Beautiful, smaller, personable animals with predictable responses. You've done a great job, a credit to your understanding and patience.

[@cala_mitie]

The ones in the background wanting to come out and play are a mood 😂

[@mizzstrawberry_]

Watching your love for animals Kev is so beautiful truly, you put your mind, body and soul as well as blood, sweat and tears into each and every one of your animals. It’s awe inspiring to watch you especially you interacting with them because you can see the love behind each touch, you can see the pride in your eyes when it comes to enjoying the fruits of your labour so to speak with the generational breeding. It just makes me feel extremely lucky to be able to watch what you do and learn from you. I feel everything you say has value and being able to take that in is amazing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Kevin for just being YOU continuing to put yourself and your life out there, you are changing lives and I have so much love for you🥰

[@vickikuglin5567]

I think Donnie needs a word of the day calendar 🤣

[@vincentender1486]

Sharks also explore with their mouths, hard to figure things out when you have no hands. Also leads to trouble.

[@IntrepidExotics]

Such an awesome animal ❤ that all so hits home with my Nile, he uses his mouth on anything and everything like a puppy

[@achillywind550]

That monitor is like a Belgian Malinois. They are so mouthy. Sometimes you have to train them to keep a toy in their mouth when socializing with other dogs in order to distract them from biting everyone. Not necessarily biting from aggression but just because they need to bite.

[@SylvieGrimalkin]

He sounds like my toddler. We call him chaotically curious.

[@leeladouceur7007]

White VS albino... learning more things i never knew were a thing... another great video guys. Thanks for all you do

Great job with these Water Monitors, Kevin... I still want a Dwarf Purple Albino Retic, now I'd like to add a group of these too

[@Finding457]

Ohhhhh! He’s bloody gorgeous, wowsers! 😍😍😍 The babies remind me of the Jurassic Park kitchen raptors

[@scrubjay93]

Love the black spotting on the ivory color - gorgeous. 💚

[@annmurry1628]

See if you can get a muzzle made for him that you can put a small bit of cloth in the muzzle that way he can bite the cloth as much as he wants

[@houndgirl7365]

The male reminds me of a dalmatian and all im thinking is dalmatian would be a cool morph if he keeps the pattern. Hell even the fact that the babies develope spots later on matches the dog breeds M.O. just saying there is potential there if people want a monitor with that look rather than grow up all white and i do believe with line breeding that could be achieved as well :) Awesome stuff! I love large monitors and think it would be epic to finally have a species that can be shown and people go "these are no longer wild animals just like how your dog isn't".

[@Calamity_Jen85]

I’ve been planning a large bathroom remodel around one day getting a monitor from NERD. I have a big farm so I’ve been able to commit to getting and raising tortoises (clearly commitment is there if I’m all in on that time wise lol), and that’s one dream animal down. Had pythons since I was a kid…but I really want to be prepared for a monitor with the perfect set up for it throughout its life with spaces built into the house predetermined to be for that specific critter. I wonder if I’ll have to get on a waitlist 😅

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Nope, we have nice ones for sure available. K

[@caffey500]

Haven't kept monitors in 7years but I can somehow still remember the smell of the water tubs lol

[@AvengerII]

Yes, this reminds me of Slinky and Pinky. HE wanted to breed but she was terrified of him! Kenan eventually loaned Pinky to Gerry and Pinky has mated with another monitor a few times. She hasn't produced viable eggs yet but the point is she's gotten further than she ever did with Slinky.

[@nikobiege7015]

Kevins the reason I keep and breed this magnificent species. Are the ivories any smaller than the albinos?

[@wmuns11]

I am very curious about the white water monitor, as I saw one in the wild many many years ago in my backyard. I tot it was an albino as it was pure white. Would appreciate if you could give more info on these. The ones I see on you tube is not pure white and don’t look like anything I saw before, and it’s called “white”. 🤔

[@kristenvincent3622]

Not something I like to suggest but, could you potentially tape his mouth for the mating process? Would that help? They did it for smaller alligators at gatorland for the tourist photos etc when I last visited. 12:40 omg the cuteness in the background there …. “Hey where’s our food dad?”

[@ericbeeman8717]

Hes like wtf dad I'm just nibbling it's not like I took a Pelangie off n ate it or something geeses

[@Joe-wk9ow]

I wonder what a black dragon with the all white monitor look like if you paired them up.

[@Sjaell]

12:35 "Lemme out.... LEMME OUT"

[@SomeRandomFeline]

water monitors are almost like little puppies if they get socialized, just like many other monitors, they're almost like little puppies in a way, but different at the same time.

[@pumpkinchow]

Great work Kevin 🤘🏻🤘🏻yeah for some reason one of my adult monitors does the same thing with test biting things so I always keep extra eye on that one. Definitely hope you have success pairing those white beauties 🤞🏼 hope you have a great day as well bud 🙋‍♂️✌️

You guys never cease to amaze. Absolutely stunning monitor

[@JohnAvillaHerpetocultural]

I have a female ackie That is kind of like this. She’s super friendly and inquisitive and EVERYTHING goes in her mouth. She loves biting cloth. She also likes to tug on my skin. The weird thing is that she seems to know not to clamp down on my skin. She’ll aggressively pull at and shake my shirt but she just gently tugs when she grabs my skin. It could be play behavior. She also likes to play with anything shiny and plastic and cat balls.

[@StLMikie]

Thanks for the class Mr. Kevin! Thanks Donny for the nice video!

[@NewEnglandReptile]

You bet! K

I love how Kevin shows what working with animals is actually like lol!!!! They all havr their own personalities and quirks 😂😂 piranha had to live up to his name lol

[@ArmchairDeity]

3:00 and following - So basically what Kevin is saying is that that you should always supply a box of high-quality chocolates to your male monitors and play LOTS of Barry White in the herp room when you're trying to breed your water monitors. ;)

[@9kittiesmom]

The babies are cute. They really like their eggs. They really have sibling rivalry just like human kids do. Piranha is like one of my cats, he uses his mouth to check things out also. I can't get over how long their tongue is.

[@dianetandy1757]

Aww his name is great cuz reminds me of how sharks and fish often also have to explore with their mouths. They don’t really have another way.

I've recently purchased a cumingi, it was really handleable at first until I accidentally caught his tail on the door of his enclosure, what can I do to gain his trust again? He's been really bitey and tail whippy

[@NewEnglandReptile]

My vids. Threads of trust. I have a new one coming shortly with a crocodile monitor that likes to bite for keeps. K

[@StarDarkAshes]

I guess that’s why I never get second dates. Whenever I date a new woman I’m always checking her with my mouth to see if it’s Food or if it’s something else. I never get calls back for a second date.😂

[@txmarine82]

Mr. Kevin sir, have u produced a monitor that u have spoken before of that doesn’t get to the size of the size of a normal monitor? Reason I ask sir is because I’m the paralyzed Marine in Texas that’s always commenting on how badass u are. I don’t believe I could take on the size of a normal water monitor from a wheelchair. I’m only 41 and retired so I have the time and can definitely provide an amazing life for one. Wish I could send u a picture of my sulcatas house and pen they have. I wrote this before the end of the video so now that I finished the video I feel like a jackass

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Yes. I make smaller type ones for sure!!! K

[@davedronski7749]

In my opinion, the best way to let people see how amazing these water monitors are would be to REDUCE THEIR PRICE!! My dream animal has been a black dragon since the first time I laid eyes on one but will probably never be able to afford one.😥

[@annagudmundsen4419]

Is there a reason Kevin have not tried a dog muzzle to eliminate the love biting when breeding ? It does not hurt the male, and the male can not hurt the female.

[@jordonpratt2604]

One reason I would think, where they are such smart animals that they would be more concerned about the muzzle than the matter at hand

[@annagudmundsen4419]

@@jordonpratt2604 That is only a question of getting used to it, just like a harness for a dog, a halter for a horse and whatnot. I belive the drive to breed should be stronger than the feel a muzzle after a few hours. It is IMHO worth a try.

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Yes, he likes to scratch at it. I’m working on getting them to be safe together. It’s getting much better as of today! K

[@jordonpratt2604]

@@annagudmundsen4419 I don’t know mine never got used to a harness after almost a year, it’s just something she hated, it changed her mood when she was in it

[@jenniferkeaton7593]

If the male bites, is it possible to put something around his mouth so he doesn’t bite the female if they are put together to mate? Or is that a bad thing?

[@goatmealcookies7421]

have you tried getting him used to her like you might introduce a pair of cats to a household? Or file his nails and invent a muzzle somehow? Or put the female in a kevlar vest....

[@NewEnglandReptile]

I’ve done many many things. It’s working slowly but I must be careful. K

[@ezlo90]

I guess it would be a bad idea to temporarily tape his mouth shut? I guess that'd break the threads of trust.

[@NewEnglandReptile]

No it’s not, must make sure no food. It can help short term so he gets used to her. K

[@DarksydeJasper-bc7hx]

Water monitors are great, in south asian countries it's pretty normal that people raise baby monitors and they become very docile, you got children riding them, and men carying 2 meter long monitors like you would a child, in public.
