You just bought yourself a nightmare on elm street

[@PeterParkerWebslinger3]

My experience with Backwater Reptiles has been great and I really appreciate their service and quality! thanks again!

[@christianlupton9419]

Backwater reptiles is the worst possible place you could order any animal from .

[@TheMan-ro5cs]

Christian have you ever order anything from them ?

[@christianlupton9419]

Yes multiple things , I ordered a snake and recievied a American alligator baby . I didn't even know it was possible it was mean and had bite marks and wounds all over it .

[@FlyTour69]

Christian Lupton You bought a snake and received an alligator?! Dang, Maybe I should order a snake then! You see, when I mentioned that you can buy an alligator for $150, my Dad said, "You're not buying an alligator". I might not have to "buy" an alligator to get one.

[@shizmanbeat]

@@FlyTour69 so did you ever buy that mistake of an alligator? Or did you realize what a terrible idea it was lmao

[@PeterParkerWebslinger3]

I have sad news, I been away from the videos and have no posted any updates because I split from my ex of 13 years and I had to move to a small apartment, Samson's new home is with an old friend of mine in Florida, he has a enclosure that he can get to go outside in the sun! he is happy! I am planning on getting another one when I can be sure I can have a stable place, I maybe looking to get a green tree boa since MY space is limited! I been sad since this happened So I havent responded to anyone...I was in the process of building an entire room for him before things had to end...

[@alexcrowder1673]

Do you mean green tree python? Or emerald tree boa? I'm not familiar with a green tree boa but that's not to say they don't exist I've just never heard of them. And make sure your friend in Florida knows that Niles are illegal there and to be careful.

[@joshuaburgos3450]

Alex Crowder emeralds are sometimes called Greens

[@marshallgoebel8940]

kevinLAWLESS420 I am so sorry

[@alexcrowder1673]

+joshua burgos Oh thanks man. I've never heard that before, its good to know. I've had a green tree python before. It's almost unbelievable how similar they look even as hatchlings. Especially since they are so distantly related, one being a python and one a boa. Unreal really.

[@rossclark2622]

+Alex Crowder sorry, but what is the difference between a Python and a boa?

[@austinjcomeaux4693]

I got my Tokay from Backwater about a year ago and I'm still very satisfied with my order. Affordable, fast and safe. For people saying they disagree with how they're shipped, ask yourselves this; how do animals get to those crappy pet stores? They're shipped there as well.

[@Rknowles813]

Too many horror stories about BackWater for me to even consider ordering from them.

[@helloitsme3250]

Pussy

[@helloitsme3250]

Saitama have you seen any recent horror stories?

[@mdsupreme1776]

God Eater You can send it back for a new one

[@leetlebob8203]

And half the time they don't even give you what you wanted, you want a monitor go to Olympus reptiles because the cunts at backwater are useless fucks.

[@ferritrat4239]

That’s why expos are the way to go there fun and some prices are pretty damn good

[@coldbloodedbrachypelma8904]

man you're lucky when I got my Nile monitor out of the bag it lached onto my thumb and wouldn't let go

[@oohhsedagod2660]

I bought my first nile and he went back to the shop I got it at the same day lol

[@muhammadizzandanish3642]

you're so sad

[@robinstructor3116]

I just got a baby Nile from Blackwater started eating right away seems to be getting more chill everyday. Mine is about twice that sized named him Ozzy

[@ashcan6]

That's a beautiful little enclosure that you have set up there. As much as I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, however, anyone thinking of duplicating this should know that this kind of setup will quickly become almost IMPOSSIBLE to clean. Monitors defecate a lot, and they often don't care on what or where. They also flat out LOVE destroying things. They dig, knock over plants, crap in the water, bite electrical cords, and did I mention that they dig? With that said, with a large amount of care, one COULD keep a very small monitor in a tank like this for a few months.

[@spasplash156]

Seems to be popular for people to put the baby water and Nile monitors in turtle tanks

[@flyingpigz77]

Must be joking!!!!! A nile is 5 feet with 3 feet of tail, while a water monitor is massive (80-90 pounds) and over 4 feet of body! This guy made a great decision.

[@chrismcdonaldracing]

My guys when they where babys loved mealworms and crickets. Very nice tank set up can tell you put a lot of thought into it

[@PeterParkerWebslinger3]

thanks, I had the tank and used all stuff I had from older purchases, I build a base under the sand and peat for a water cave, so the land has about 3 gallons of space under the land portion

[@philipyoung3030]

Before long, you will have to get a much larger enclosure due to the Nile Monitor is the largest lizard in Africa reaching up to 8 ft ....

[@WeMakeDumbStuffHD]

I Don't Have A Tank For Mine :D I Keep Him In My Bed Room But I Do Have A Big Cage I built For Him He Gos In A lot But I Keep His Cage Open When He Wants To Come In And Out :P

[@harrymolloy823]

*6 feet*

[@lostfound8112]

love the tank setup

[@tysheedlo5288]

by far the best nile monitor setup ive seen

[@PeterParkerWebslinger3]

thank you, yea, i am planning a very large 8 by 4 by 8 enclosure with a cave entrance to a pond i'm going to make in the basement...I cant wait!

[@joshualyles1234]

Sorry for your breakup but I have a questionHow do I make my enclosure like this

[@swahnerson8428]

Thanks for the video! I've always been happy with my purchases from Backwater reptiles too. Good luck with the Nile!

[@Younglingslayer-yd6bg]

Amazing sorry for it being rehoused had great potential and love the paludarium like setup one of the few cases of good Nile monitor care.

[@kingmoe3779]

that's a nice tank set up

[@spyblockkflockka4004]

beautiful set up

[@tyreeclark1948]

I think this is the best set tank Ive ever seen. Are plants live as well?

[@thecompleteanimorph]

I wonder how good it feels to the lizard to go from being in a dark, not quite warm enough box getting shaken around to then suddenly being pulled out and put in a safe, comfy terrarium with water, the perfect temperatures, and food?

[@IDC_420]

Yo this set up is Beyond dope asf

[@elhalaka8]

nice monitor and tank! probably the nicest tank I've ever seen.

[@username551231]

dang dude you got a killer set up for him

[@PeterParkerWebslinger3]

thanks I am going to try and get updates this week!

[@PeterParkerWebslinger3]

he loves to swim, and rest in the water on hot days, he looks like a alligator when in water, its sweet! TY

very nice enclosure

[@andrewjohnson-ld7xc]

the tank is in progress, I have added more mosses and bark chips, looks good now! I will be posting more videos soon! thanks everyone!

Very nice tank I want a savanna monitor what do I need sand grass or a bit of water that I can refill when it drinks all of it

[@gardenguyvic]

Same I have a 4' Java, Handle it everyday but he's still pretty aggressive.

[@chrisestell6179]

You still have the monitor

[@PeterParkerWebslinger3]

I had great experience with them, everything was great and is doing very well..very nice color, very healthy...I'm sorry you had a bad thing happen, i'm am pretty far from them and was very quick delivery...things do happen during shipping, but hpe things work out for you

[@CannabisMaximus02]

Cage looks good bro. I will have to agree with the others though;if you actually take care of him right,which im sure you do a great job, than he'll outgrow that shit within a year. I look forward in seeing your cage updates, and if you want, you can look at my cage and beast!

[@blacksheepnomad9000]

The owner of it posted that this would be good for at least 2 years I don't think he did any research on the growth of Nile monitors. Shit this is barely enough for that baby. I'm more of writing this for potential people watching this in the future. do your research people

[@PeterParkerWebslinger3]

I had one for over 2 years, he will be fine in this tank for that long, and will have alot of space, I know they get up to 6-8 feet sometimes, I will have everything under control, I'm build a room for him this year anyway, even though I know he will be more than happy here for at least 2 years

@@PeterParkerWebslinger3Read your own comment it says he'll be happy there for 2 years. For a Nile monitor that is nowhere near enough room. What you were planning would be more ideal. I'm focusing on the fact that you said you could keep him in a 100 gallon fish tank for two years! That's bad information man.

it was actually pretty good..he was very happy

My water monitors came from them n they was fine n I order them back in April of 2019 n it's now November 2019 n they are growing great n they came from them friendly when I got them n I ordered a Male n female from them but I'll order from them again

thank you I'll post a new video, I added more climbing trees and plants

[@davidvernon6451]

Um why are there amphibian sinking pellets next to that tank? I believe they were for newts.

[@CronusandRhea]

You should have went with a water monitor, they tend to be much calmer and a little bigger. Enjoy it.

[@martincrazereptiles8477]

I got nile monitor lizards and got both tame and nasty grown adults, my advice is hnadle then least few minutes every other day till become big, if cant be bothered to hold them every ohter day and leave tehn for monhs unhandled make it must harder to tame but tame or not I got passion for nile monitor lizards

[@PeterParkerWebslinger3]

I dont see why not, i do not think they like water like the Nile, but as long as you have a really large amount of digging space and cover all the needs of a savanna, I think you could add a water spot for them...Just my thoughts< i may get yelled at but I think it could work.. gotta watch if they can handle humidity, if not, the no water

[@xcxdxd82]

Backwater Reptiles in my experience are the best of the best.

[@henrythomas5963]

i personally like backwater. some of my friends ordered from them and gave good reviews. by the way nice monitor, i hope hes very healthy.

[@facebiter]

amazing set up good luck with your future

[@andrewjohnson-ld7xc]

can a savanna monitor have water in the tank

[@pitbulls4eva1]

I'm not too crazy about any kind of monitor. But he's cute. Love the set up. Really really cool. I bet he loves it too! :D

[@conservsyndicate]

Not trying to disagree with anyone, but I have worked with several V. niloticus that have been in the 5' range and a few that got as long as 6'. I have nothing against owning a Nile if you are into bigger lizards and some bites and claws won't spook you, but out of the 10 I worked with I only encountered one that was semi calm. Just my 2 Cents, take it or leave it.

[@BF4ClanTBS]

conservsyndicate they tend to be very aggressive

That's a sick set up dude!! Great job and good luck with him! Do you think you can do a care video for him? Plz maybe thx!

So far I have seen an equal amount of negative and positive views and reviews of backwater reptiles. I have a baby veiled chameleon coming in tomorrow and I'm a little nervous. Seems they usually ship healthy but have had some notorious screw ups. I'll be very sad, and pissed off, if mine is unhealthy or dead. I did not know about the site's rep until after I purchased.
