Red Eyed Crocodile Skink Update | PET DRAGONS!

[@goldilocks2876]

A introverts spirit animal

[@MeetJackBlack]

Met this guy at the Toronto Expo. One of the nicest people I've met. Very patient and gracious. Would venture to say that these little guys are that bold because of his calm and reassuring demeanor. Sorry for your loss. And thanks for the inspiration.

[@Reptiliatus]

Wow, I’m so touched! Thank you so much for the kind words! Respectfully, you’d have to remind me of our conversation as I have quite a few at any given expo but I’m confident it was a pleasure chatting with you!

[@MeetJackBlack]

@@Reptiliatus - This past weekend. You were at the Exo Terra booth, and I credited you for getting my two kids and I complimentary T-shirts. We then discussed terrariums and Drylok method, and how some plants are "burned", if it's not allowed to cure properly, before planting. We later came back to show you our five black footed, orange poison dart frogs. In either case, it was great meeting you. And my kids are still happy about it. :)

[@dcdoublejay8745]

Very sorry for the loss. Caring for animals is so hard because they really are so much more fragile than we are and losing them is tough. You are a great keeper and I hope you get a new baby very soon!

"My skinks dont freeze up" Skinks:* dosen't move in his hand* Me:hmmmm

[@timothyw1477]

Lol

[@wingedstring]

It tilted the head, that's too much actually

[@PepperMistAnimations]

The red eyed crocodile skink is what got me into reptiles, such a cool video! It’s so interesting to see them be a bit bolder than anticipated

[@Reptiliatus]

PepperMistPepper thank you for watching! They are incredible little reptiles! Glad you enjoyed my video!

[@PepperMistAnimations]

No no, thank you very much for making these videos. It was thanks to you that I decided to make a 35 gal natural enclosure for my crested gecko, he surely appreciates it and I love how it looks. Keep doing what you do, you’re an inspiration!

[@Reptiliatus]

PepperMistPepper so happy to hear it!

[@kai-tu3mn]

Same, I loooooove crocodile skinks and other reptiles

[@barbaramiller4049]

I really like the appearance of the Crocodile Skinks. So remind me a lot of dinosaurs. I am sorry about the baby as I totally understand how you felt. It seems unfair. I have experienced early deaths in the species I have bred over the years and it is disheartening.

[@bobkob]

Beautiful vivarium, love the lush jungle plants ( especially the baby tears and pothos) and bark hiding places,both critters remind me of toothless and the girl nightfury from the recent “ How to train your Dragon movie”, - my condolences for the baby skink.

[@Reptiliatus]

Bob Kob haha thanks so much! Appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching!

[@sandynix5268]

I feel very sorry for your loss but I‘m also glad that you are showing all sides of keeping pets. It’s not always fun and people have to know that before getting a new animal. You do a fantastic job! Thanks for sharing.

[@Reptiliatus]

Sandy Nix thank you very much for sharing! I appreciate the kind message! Thanks for your support!

[@allenjones1947]

So sorry to hear about the baby croc skink. I understand the feeling of the loss of all the work you put into breeding animals and finally seeing babies then watching them crash I told you about my pictus gecko eggs during the tornado on your live stream. All I can say is goodluck to you man I'm gonna keep it in my thoughts and keep us updated. On other words a great video with beautiful animals and a beautiful enclosure.

[@Reptiliatus]

Allen Jay thanks for the kind message Allen, means a lot!

[@CanadianOphidiophile]

I like the trust you've built with the female. Sorry to hear about your loss.

[@Reptiliatus]

Canadian Ophidiophile thanks my friend. Appreciate it a lot

[@Aoxshsjjx]

How often do you clean your terrarium? It’s looks clean and very well maintained.

[@PrazLeo]

I’m getting my first Red-Eyed Crocodile Skink in November! I’m so excited :) they look like mini dragons!

[@Reptiliatus]

Wonderful! Congrats

[@kasonfurnas4180]

As many rewards as one can receive from breeding reptiles, an equal or greater amount of heartbreak often occurs. I am always in awe of your husbandry as well as your emotional connection to your animals. Too many people breed just for the money, but I know that's the only way some people can afford to put the time and expense into taking care of their animals. I always enjoy your videos. Have a great day, D!

[@Reptiliatus]

Kason Furnas well said Kason! Thanks for your kind words my friend! Appreciate your support! Thanks for watching!

[@jaysengomez51]

“Don’t hold your crocodile skink they will freeze up and they don’t like it” Proceeds to hold crocodile skink that looks like it’s frozen

[@Reptiliatus]

Jaysen Gomez please pay attention to the video and dialogue before commenting. The footage of the animals being handled was taken as they were being transferred into the enclosure they live in from a temporary bin (out of necessity), not for viewing pleasure. Thanks for watching

[@jaysengomez51]

Reptiliatus woah man no ones mad, just a funny thought that came to mind, not trying to call you out for anything lol

[@Jaybiiird]

Cool video man, I keep ants and sometimes you catch a queen who is infertil, its really a bummer and probably the closest I can relate to a baby dying right after you get them. There's always more though and there's always another you'll be able to take care of :)

[@Reptiliatus]

Zbionix / Caleb H. Thanks for sharing. I appreciate it :).

[@DeviantInc]

I have wanted 2 of them since I first saw them many years ago. I keep do research on them and if I ever get room in my lizard room I will get them. Great video 👍

[@ZENJUTSUU]

You should link that study you mentioned on baby skinks being cared for by their parent pet croc skinks!!

[@beckycollins4795]

Crocodile skinks are one of my favourite creatures

[@Reptiliatus]

Becky Rogers I agree 100%!

[@tsfcancerman]

Just start breeding shrimps yourself cause that aint hard

[@Reptiliatus]

tsfcancerman agreed! I just don’t want to yet. I’ll likely do red cherries eventually.

[@_tv6717]

I've been adopting a little Armored Skink.

[@bruh_hahaha]

Nice video I’m sorry about the baby. 😓 I’m thinking about getting one of these guys. Are they ok as solitary pets or do you think I need to get a pair? Thanks!

[@ashleeaustin358]

I'm sorry man.. 😔 that's tough. You did what you could though and that's what counts. 🦎💕

Crocodile skink comes from the country of Indonesia, precisely in the Papua region.

[@Reptiliatus]

Yes! Very nice :)

Amazing beautiful creatures!

[@motivatedstudios2769]

Im getting ready to get 2 of these and 2. Gridled armadillo lizards me and my wife own a bearded dragon and are excited for these exotic animals and hopeing that my red eyed skinks wont mind being held any advice when caring for different species

[@Reptiliatus]

Motivated Studios as I said in the video, they are lovely animals but they do not appreciate being handled unless it’s out of necessity on occasion. thanks for watching :)!

[@kendunn7330]

They look so cool. How much do they cost? Can I get them at a pet store?

[@Reptiliatus]

Kenneth Dunn they vary in price and rarity all around the world. Hard to say, sorry.

[@ChantalsCritters]

Great Video

[@danielsantiago3756]

When you incubate them, do you have to turn the eggs everyday like chicken eggs?

[@Reptiliatus]

Nope! You should never turn reptile eggs as the embryo actually fixes itself to one side of the egg and moving it can dislodge it from that attached spot and kill the embryo! Thanks for watching :).

[@thefreaksguy663]

what filter do u use?

[@mablepugh4459]

i hope people don't see this animal and impulse buy it): they're awesome looking but i refuse to get a pair because i know i'm not educated enough to give them the best care possible.

[@Reptiliatus]

Mable x thank you for watching! Yes, it’s important to do thorough research prior to getting pet(s)! If you know what you’re doing, these are very rewarding animals to keep!

[@elreypapo360]

I did 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@justinonyt]

The sound of that running water wont bother them if theyre trying to sleep?

[@Reptiliatus]

Justin nope! They sleep soundly like little dragon babies 😉!

[@mirandac2011]

They would hear and hide by running water in wild too😊

[@JEREMIELEE]

👍

[@laughingoutloud3882]

What’s the name of that plant that goes all around the tank?

[@Reptiliatus]

Notorious Dany which one? There’s a few in there! :)

[@nathanreseigh4185]

Or maybe they aren’t mini dragons and they are mini crocodiles. But what do I know, it’s not like it’s in the name or anything.

[@muhammadalimashum4411]

Are these similar to abronia?

Zach Landon not at all actually. These are skinks!

When they get to big do you let them go or do they not get that big

I know this is late and all. But why didn't you call a vet when you noticed the bulge on the baby Croc Skink? It's never good to leave those kinds of things unnoticed.

Produk indonesia guddd

[@michaelfabregas3496]

man you should do a room tour video!!! That would be awesome

[@zarianvi]

While I understand the responsibility of making people aware that the species as a whole is better off not being handled, claiming your animals are an exception is incredibly irresponsible and contradicting. Like you said before, the species tends to seize up when held rather than just jump out like geckos do when they don't want to be held. Lots of other keepers can also claim their animals are "more bold" and under your own words that would mean the countless videos out there of people handling them are not bad at all. Just saying since I see this type of comment not just on this species but a lot of others that go around the exotic pets community, were putting down your fellow keepers for things that is done becomes excused just because you're the speaker.

[@Reptiliatus]

Zarian Virraizly Sorry, perhaps my word choice was poor. I agree with you 100%. I meant to explain that the exception is that my animals aren’t shy. They come out, tong feed, etc. This species is known for being so shy you almost never see them at all. The footage I shared of me handling them was to make it clear that the last time I held them was while doing a rehouse and only out of necessity. It’s also good proactive to do a “check up” on your animals once in a while and make sure their weight, skin, eyes, etc are looking good. Thanks for sharing your concern. I am not an exception to the standard I am trying to perpetuate.

[@zarianvi]

@@Reptiliatus I see. I understand, I have a trio of these myself, and they all have different levels of personality. I honestly like that they're becoming more popular as CB exotics display pets, because they're really neat to look at and that means more people share what they've done with their setups. Like tree pythons, and tarantulas I think these fall into "the handle for checkups but keep as display" category. I just see a lot of "do as I say and not as I do" attitude from the pettube/instagram reptile community with a lot of these types of animals, including venomous ones and I just find it annoying cause people are obviously just gonna follow what they see. I like your videos regardless, and your setups are great. It's just a thing that bugs me everytime I hear it. Cheers!

You know what. This is why I hate reptile youtuber’s. “Don’t do this but I am the exception.” It not just him it’s every KZbin pet person.

[@Reptiliatus]

McKay Meldrum I said that they were only being handled to be transferred into the new enclosure. This isn’t some sort of double standard, you just didn’t pay enough attention to the video to know what was happening.

Dennis Neader because they do better in a larger enclosure :). I’m not sure if you are being sarcastic or not but th plan is actually to make them a larger setup. This one is temporary. Thanks for watching.

[@bananaman4935]

@@Reptiliatus you say that they shouldn't be held and you go to hold them even though you say that act camera shy also after this I'm not replying because then it's just drama

[@Reptiliatus]

banana man please actually watch the video before you commented calling me a hypocrite for handling my croc skinks (when that footage was from me placing them in the enclosure they are in now a year ago). I clearly explained that the las time I held them was last November and that’s when the footage was from (there is even a video link). Thanks for your concern though
