I cannot imagine what it must feel like to find these round white objects that producethese magical mystical creatures. And then you get to become their mom and their daddy. You get to become their buddy and their protector and their savior and their GREATLY NEEDED ADVOCATE!! I can't imagine how great that would feel.💓🖤 What a great gift you have given this Earth Kevin. All the people that work with you are amazing! I'm just so envious that I didn't learn about this world until now... Next time around boy ...I'm going to be a monitor mama!!🐊🐍🦎🐲🐉🦕🦖

[@larrylaird3576]

I've watched many videos of you socializing these gorgeous animal's and I can see right away that they trust you and they strive for your presence. An I would have to have too pay your electric bill.....

[@shermann1441]

It is truly obvious that you care about those animals and where they go Nice video

[@kinglouiec6338]

Love your vids! Keep them coming

[@larrylaird3576]

And that's very true,water monitors are not for everyone unless you are willing to go the extra mile with their husbandry and the time you spend with them is very important and like you said they live for 20 years. Long term commitment I actually have a cage setup a whole room 20 x 20 x 8 and that's the adult lizards home......

[@BrazosReptiles]

Absolutely amazing! Who made those enclosures that they are housed in? I love them! Great looking stuff man!

[@Ryan_Maineaquaria]

That’s an interesting use of filter floss!

[@mikeybuencamino6881]

Great vid!!!!

[@LanceLouis7008]

What if you have an enclosure that is not front opening? And you have to open it from the top and come in from the top? What should you do then?

[@jacenarve4778]

would your socializing techniques work for iguanas as well?

[@bmxking6582]

great videos

[@bmflmao]

would you say your method work or other monitor species like the Peach or a quince

[@samarabevin]

I have a one month old and I can almost get my hand under him but he backs off when I start to lift my hand up. He will run off but then immediately come back to me. So he’s not TOTALLY scared of me but halfway scared of me I guess lol. ONE day he climbed up my arm!! Only one day though ugh I don’t know what I was doing right that day lol

[@evanbodek6063]

Do you have any advice for raising a wild caught water monitor? Ive had my little guy for almost a year now and hes still terrified of me. I have only just come across your videos and tips for a more minimalistic enclosure but im afraid that might shock my animal because he hasnt ever not had plenty of places to hide. Id love to hear from you.

[@samarabevin]

Is there a video showing how you tame the NON- confident monitor baby? There’s got to be one here somewhere??. I only see the confident ones being handled which is great but I wanted to see one example if working with non confident. I’m still trying to find the right video for this, can someone help me find one? Thank you

[@friscoHub415]

do you have a website or can i please buy one ive had a few niles andva sav before i had kids now my kids are older its time for a new addition tp our fam i would love a pre hand train one from you please let me kno thank you

[@zakarycheatham5569]

You should do a video on the feeders you breed

[@TheTimfry]

I recently got a Peach throat monitor. I'm not sure the age but he/she's about a foot long and eating fuzzies every day or every other day. I guess my question is when you get them later on is the process of socializing the same?

[@davemalin6380]

Kevin can you please do a video on clipping the water monitor babies nails by yourself? I struggled big time with the babies

[@BXPKENNELS]

I love how tame your monitors are im looking into getting a salvator but unfortunatly i wont be able to afford the captive bread are there any tips you can give with socializing an imported salvator

[@akwlb2]

you cant afford 100-150 bucks for a cb? if you can't afford a regular water monitor you will definitely not be able to afford to maintain the animal. The ones you see on this video are expensive because they are different morphs.

[@AJLaughing]

Could you do a video on Adult monitor enclosures in a house setting?

[@debconness7718]

If they stayed that size I'd so get some.. Lol ❤️

[@susanmartin3762]

Those containers you have the babies and look very nautical. Did you buy them from a naval scrapyard? It looks sturdy!!

[@DoctorPepper4]

How much for a regular one

[@pmd7771969]

No animals beats a dog. Never. Bv

[@josephkaneaster8155]

Buddy I am in love with the one that had its mouth open, not becuse it wanted to bite but it is so good lookin

[@joshglass9838]

Do u guys ship to canada

[@pmd7771969]

Do they make any sounds.

[@feral7094]

that pyramid head shirt tho

[@Raven1w]

But how exactly do you socialize them? my new baby is pretty skittish..should I just leave him alone or keep trying to pick him up once in a while?

[@dannybravo2595]

Raven Watkins aww u got a baby

[@akwlb2]

this is too late but for babies just reach in with your hand under and rub him for a few seconds and remove your hands. go in touch and go out. that way they learn you are no harm. if you go in with your hand over them and grab them they will definitely not learn well like that.

[@elicutler18]

how much for a normal?

[@craigrobertson6983]

it seems people always say you have to give them tones of hides as baby's, but there is no hides here and they all seem to be doing just fine! is no hide the trick to making your monitor addapt to you?

[@connorherrera9673]

I would also like to know if taking out the hide would help with my black throat monitor to socialize with me because when he isn't eating most of the time he is inside of his cave I have. It makes it difficult to see him and get him to come out to see me.

[@hummingbird3057]

I also di the same thing, i don't give a hiding cave for all of my monitor. And they're fine and also tame like a dog

[@jailenbrownlee1970]

How do they breathe with those type of enclosures

[@trreptiles7297]

There are air holes, watch the video again and you will see them

[@trreptiles7297]

And the cage door that he opens is just screen

[@simoncarson4087]

nice pyramid head shirt

[@MAJINBUU23]

800$ for a fuckin lizard dude you smoking some strong shit.

[@mbawyan]

Does the baby's bite heart ?

[@dannybravo2595]

Noni Noni yes they do they have small sharp teeth quite large for their size

[@joshuamiller1456]

I wanna get one

[@josephkaneaster8155]

I wanna see some nile monitors u got

[@anthonyojeda2055]

You shouldn't work with water monitors if you scared they might bite you their babies doesn't hurt

[@lakotacollins5451]

Anthony Ojeda yea just like they say you shouldn't work with puppies because they'll bite you, their just babies.

[@bmanz8117]

Very few folks have the room to raise up these reptiles. I love them, however not a reptile for most and should not be promoted as a pet for self prophet. I think with these lizards do to their intelligence, which is high for a reptile, getting them to their homes the earlier the better. They need to imprint on the owner. Sad, most folks will take these stick them in a tank, and when the novelty wears off, ends up being a neglected angry, aggressive formative reptile that can cause serious injury. Great reptile for experienced keepers that enjoy reptiles. If ya want a pet get a cat or dog. Reptiles have no loyalty or are capable of emotions. Straight up predator or pray, and just tolerate human interaction. Interact with them from babies in a positive manner will increase tolerance levels thus reducing chance of being bit, clawed, or tail whipped. Again, a challenging reptile for experienced keepers, and not recommended for most folks. Idiots buy these for their kids only to end up with heart ache. Nice work Kevin, you put your heart into these wonderful lizards that probably shouldn't be in the hands of many.

[@pmd7771969]

Dog and cats have saved people's lives, lizzards have not. Bv

[@samarabevin]

Ohhh we didn’t know that. Ok let’s get rid of all the reptiles y’all! We got new info here! Hey did you know wolves only came to cavemen back in the day because they got food??? Wow and now we have domesticated dogs. Hhhhmmmm. Nahhh they should have gotten rid of them too because they only needed something from humans back then. How dumb we were.

[@pmd7771969]

One reason they come to you is they want out of the cage. Bloodviking
