SOMEONE SENT ME A MYSTERIOUS ANGRY LIZARD ! ⏩ GIANT SNAKE CLOSE CALL!

[@julierobertson9397]

Watching Kevin with the new monitor was show stopping. Granted he was cold, but he showed no sign of wanting to bite or escape. Kevin and my sister share a gift that somehow tells animals (and people) they are a "safe place to land." Love your channel and the knowledge i gain from it.

[@susanmartin3762]

Awwwwww I have never seen a monitor that was cold before. He looked so cute and sleepy. And his tongue flicks were like slow motion. What a sweet little animal. And what a lucky animal to have you Kevin.

Tbh monitors and tegus are ridiculously smart the black throat prob did really hate him. When my tegu went through her teenage phase I had to befriend her all over again.

[@42ZaphodB42]

Just like children!

[@houndgirl7365]

For tegus though if you think about it they are in an incredibly awkward phase. I didn't really experience Guberty with my boy, but I think that's partially because when I took him out I would put him in pockets (of appropriate size). After he outgrew my hoodie pocket though was when I could let him free roam and usually he was always the most chill under covers. I would share his space with him constantly, so he was never territorial with me. My hypothesis on it is once they get to that size point they have more difficulty hiding, so they are going to be a bit more defensive. By giving them more areas to hide and deeper substrate I feel like it negates some of that aggression especially when you put the clothing you wore into the enclosure with them. It really makes a difference and when I felt my boy was starting to feel insecure I actually would start putting my clothes in with him again (something I did when he was a hatchling) and I would frequently find him either in the clothes or buried under it. It kind of became a security thing and he would mellow out. I suggest it for any tegu owner though sharing space is really important and what Kevin states here is such crucial info ^^

Lizards are similar to children, they are always paying attention and learning. It's very easy to cause them unwanted stress. I had reptiles growing up too. My mom taught me how to care for them. She loved nature. I do too. I also had two large Aquariums and two bedrooms for my fish and reptiles. We kept them in separate rooms with temperature controlled environments. One room was for the cold blooded the other for aquatic plants and animals. We grew plants for Aquariums and sold them. I made plastic plants and rocks. We also built Aquariums and fountains. I am autistic and an artist and my mom found out how to help me stay calm and stress free, that's why we started the business. Also, Our lizards were family members they hangout with the family a lot. They would beg to be held and liked watching TV and playing video games. I do miss them. I am handicapped so I can't care for animals anymore, my mom helped me. She passed away in 2016. I did have a giant African bullfrog named Fed, he was my frog child. After he passed I quit the business and never got another animal until I was older and I adopted a cat. I guess it's in my blood to want to be with animals. I suffer a lot if I don't have a companion. They teach us so much too. All life is intelligent and it's us that are ignorant. We humans like to humanise other creatures and that's not okay.

We had a Bosc monitor for years Eddie Izzzard , seeing you unpack the ‘savage beast’ from your mate really reminded how much every vid ( the community at the time was incredibly preachy ) was instructing us that socialising = bad and that we should leave him not handle much ~ however no one ever told Eddie this , he always thought he was the inchish long baby that laid in my palm , he would get so cutched in and ‘ cuddly’ , and then loved to scope around the garden in a very hot day wth a dandellion in his mouth , size of a small dinosaur by now, reminded when people would see him for the first time . ~I’d forgetten how Amazing he was , a lot of work and a literal tonne or two of soilmix but he was always a baby , and would’ve been out with us as much as we could let him . Thanks for these vids , really lovely vibe , AND incredibly healthy looking critters 🦎✨ I caught the vid where Mr Lizard man was bringing the eggs out of the python , they’d calcified and the snake was trying to rein fuse them 😳 , was just amazed at how well he was navigating around inside , just breathtaking 🐍👏🙏

We had him out for about half an hour and we touched, my thought process was, get as much of my scent on him with no pain or towels on his head. I rescued him from a bad spot. When we were done and he was warm and wanting to move I picked him up, trying to be as supportive as possible because I don't think he was handled too much, I put him in his enclosure, left him for two days before I started hook training...just touching with the hook once every couple of days for his two week settling period. It's worth mentioning that he was severely enclosure aggressive. He is now pretty sweet....only with me though. He isn't keen on other people. Doesn't bite but will get really huffy.
