My little Ackie absolutely loves getting scratches... like to the point where she's obnoxious about it. She likes to come out and explore my desk while I'm drawing or working on the computer, and about every 15-20 minutes she comes over to see what I'm doing, and if I don't acknowledge her almost immediately she starts nudging my hand or forearm until I pet her and give her a chin scratch.

[@WMBrown]

Great stuff and thanks for sharing! This is helpful for some research I'm doing (a story with dragons) and understanding how lizards think and behave has helped a great deal. Also. So cute! If I could house a few monitors at home, I absolutely would!

[@AviSLeigh]

Sometimes you do these things that seem so trivial, but are like show stopping eye openers to me! The stopping the running to the corner after a positive experience. That rocked my shit. Js.

[@sampsonseven]

Thank you for the great 1-4 unboxing videos just picked upa het black dragon cant wait to get him or her

[@markbrennan8971]

Amazing the way you do that. Please do more of this stuff with snakes!!!

[@mr-kx1mf]

AWESOME VIDEOS!!!

[@abinayafuun9748]

What could block a water monitor reaching full size? Stress? Food given? Cage size?

[@Leftistchino]

Would this work with farm bred animals

[@1swiftscrub]

How long do you keep them in this simple environment? I've had my quince for 4 months, made a normal enclosure and he hides constantly. I know I'm not supposed to uncover him so if I switch to this how do I know when I can switch it back? This change will stress him out so I want to make sure its ok to do. I stck with only positive experiences and trying not to stress him. He hides when he's out and I come in room. I try to do that slowly. Then I will sit down and not look st him, I try to stay below him etc. Hes in a from opening enclosure, with water , dirt etc.

Are you going to be at the Reptile Super Show in Pomona Jan 9th? Ill be there, love to check out these little guys

[@NewEnglandReptile]

+Alex Quintanilla Hi, sorry no. At the moment I am NOT doing shows with the amount of things I got going on..... that is far away and super hard to get my animals there without stressing them endlessly!

[@mr-kx1mf]

+New England Reptile Distributors Right on, very respectable how much care you put towards your pets. I went to order my water monitor from BACKWATER REPTILE but cancelled my order after finding out they are not really know for great reviews. I am going this next weekend to the Reptile Super Show, hoping to find a reputable breeder there to get my new buddy! Do you happen to recommend any breeders that might be there? (I would order one from you but dont have $500 to spend more in the $150-200 range)

[@mattslev]

m r if you can’t afford $500 for a water monitor, this species is definitely not for you. That’s just a fraction of the expense of keeping such an animal. Water monitors grow very large and require a ton of food, big custom enclosures, costly heating and lighting equipment, specialized veterinary care, etc.

[@debconness7718]

Umm what was that bug running around in there right at the end ❤️

[@EMERSON-xg5zb]

can u do a monitor video on every type of monitor that u have

[@worldcitizenproductions7611]

you could do this even with a wild caught one. just takes more time. I watch tv with mine no problem.

[@marysherrill2994]

That's not true because I have a Meyers Parrot and she loves scratches and to be held and cuddled!!

[@franklinmichael671]

How old is this guy?

[@nealsturm3147]

Hi, I was wondering if you thought a NERD water monitor would be a good choice for a first monitor lizard? By no means a first lizard or reptile but first monitor. If the person has a passion for reptiles and did a lot of research about care and taming, over a year? So the person definitely knows what they're getting themselves into.

[@americanenclosures]

Neal Sturm if you are asking this then no and you probably can't afford one in the first place

[@debconness7718]

Bradley Jarman well that wasn't very nice. And to assume to one does not have money .. I if he has exsperence with lizards when would be a good time ?
