@@tylerhoffman9221 never, but it's been over a year since I've had them

@@giuliomartini516 is this a general comment, or are you suggesting that I am in this category?...

@@jerrysavas3044 not in the same way as tree monitors.

@@amysreptileadventures6664 yeah this is the new male.

@@Hetyt1626 it is

@@GodSlayer803 what are the reasons you think that?

@@MostlyMonitorMad because U showed so much of the monitor just moving about and minding its own business. As well as showing off the enclosure

@@GodSlayer803 quite a few of the first videos I put up on here are like that, with the peach throats exploring the new enclosure, if you want to check out more of the same kind.

@@MostlyMonitorMad ok sure

@@omarbakir3423 they have never been bred in UK.

@@amysreptileadventures6664 no pain, no gain 😂

monitor on the head is really fun when you are bald

@@MostlyMonitorMadhaha this is very true 🤣🤣

@@ryanbohman911now that definitely does not sound like a fun time ! lol 😣😵‍💫🤣

@@thehobbyguy7089 this animal came to me 2-3 weeks ago... He was tame before he came to me, just been getting used to each other

@@codygervais995 wasn't the best feeling.... But, gotta take the rough with the smooth :D I don't mind my scalp as long as I don't get a claw in the eye of get my ears or nose bitten, I can deal with the rest 😂

@@ASnowy68 thanks mate - credit for you doing all the hard work before he came to me.

Kind of you to say, thank you

Cheers to that ! I couldn’t agree more ! His peach throats & their spectacular enclosures are absolutely amazing !! 🤩😃🤙🏻🤙🏻

@@amysreptileadventures6664 thank you :)

It was just shedding skin there. If yours is thicker as well as darker, it might be stuck shed. If you notice on the video he was twitching before the spray and how it made him twitch more... I have observed many times that when peaches are in food curiousity mode and they have a stimuli that makes them fearful or apprehensive, the conflict manifests in twitching... That was why his reaction to the water was so over the top 😂

@@manuorenstein4153 anything 40 cubic feet or above is a great size, a bit below can be good also. Minimum 8 square foot of floor space, ideally more.

@@310ExoticReptiles yes... The one out is super chilled. The one in the viv is mostly, but not a fan of being picked up and will wriggle and jump down........ He also has an intense hatred/fear of the gloves I wear if I need to hold him for more than a couple of seconds, as I did today when switching them in to the vivs the other was in...... He bit the glove a couple of times 😂

@@MostlyMonitorMad I want to build my Nile a enclosure like you have your peaches I love yur enclosures and is that the new one you just picked up recently

@@310ExoticReptiles thanks. Yes, the one wandering is the newest arrival.... 2.2 live with me and a friend got himself a third female which lives with him, but to come and visit the males.

@@MostlyMonitorMad so awesome man that’s fire right there

@@codygervais995 Yes, very cool species :D

@@MostlyMonitorMad I will probably always want one but will never have the space. Can you think of good alternatives? Timor monitors? Something in the 2ft or less area.

​@@codygervais995auffenbergi are really cool, but even captive bred ones can be very shy and hard to win round. Tristis are the small monitor most likely peach throats IMO... They have the same level of reactivity to movement, energy levels, etc, etc.

@@JAwtunes yes, both of them are.

@@Оксана-л2г9р he is indeed :)

peach throat

@@harrynewton9045 he is... He's pretty chilled... Doesn't have any issues with me lifting his tail up in my hand. He's also gone to inspect the turtles but not bothered them... Cool animal

@@leecranch4489 thanks mate... He'd been in transit at cool temps for about 4 hours, so that will have helped but yeah, he does seem pretty chilled.... Possibly a bit longer in the body than Percy, but head and body is much chunkier.

@@amysreptileadventures6664 I'm not sure, I need to have a proper look at it.

@@Hasu61727 people keep them in worse, but larger would be better

@@MostlyMonitorMad ok then what is the biggest lizard that will be fine In a 8x3x3 . Anything tegu monitor types . Since you’re an expert I want ur opinion .please don’t say ackie 😅

@@Hasu61727 find the species you really like, then find what the biggest vivarium you can offer is and assess whether that works... Picking a lizard based on size along is not a great idea, nor is trying to fit the biggest animal possible in to a vivarium. 8x3x3 is enough space for most lizards in a size range up to 90cm length, but some will find it a far better home than others

@@MostlyMonitorMad how about a female Argentine tegu ?

@@Hasu61727 I don't keep tegus, so outside of my direct experience... Some people do keep tegus in that size.... 8x4x4 seems to be the most commonly stated minimum size

@@tfrye1232 🤣

@@Hasu61727 280x100x200cm, stood on a 15cm high platform.

@@MostlyMonitorMad do u think a 180 x 120x 180 is fine ?

@@Hasu61727 if the space is used intelligently, it could be made to work.

@@MostlyMonitorMad ok would you recommend a quince , peach throat or mangrove considering I want a harsh and interactive lizard

@@Hasu61727 quince and peaches are more likely to get tame than mangroves. None of them are likely to be thrilled about being picked up, even when tame. also quince have potential to grow enormous.... I've personally seen on that was around 6.5 feet and very heavily built like a water monitor

@@Chef_Arhan no, they need rainforest levels humidity and So Cal is more like a desert, isn't it? It's 280x100x200cm.

@@MostlyMonitorMad thank you so much

Actually one more question, can I house it in a 6x2x3 ft enclosure

@@Chef_Arhan no worries

@@Chef_Arhan no, it's too small for permanent housing of adult animals.... Even a small female would be better in something bigger.

@@amysreptileadventures6664 thank you. Not clear on the video, but she freaked out a bit and was running all over my back and half way down both legs... Did well to convince her not to go on the floor 😂

@@MostlyMonitorMad haha well good job on keeping her above the ground ! & aww man….i know those claws do not feel good on the legs ! lol I’ve got the scratches to know about that ! 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣 How’s Toad doing btw !

@@amysreptileadventures6664 yeah, even at her size she scratches me up! Just occured to me though, that of the three short videos I recorded from this session, the one you're commenting on isn't the one where she was running on my back - that posted to IG 🤦‍♂️😂 She's great thanks. I've been busy so not had time to be making many videos, or spending as much time interacting with her, but she's getting more confident as these were the first times she properly leapt out to me.

@@MostlyMonitorMad Yeah those claws are no joke ! & haha I was wondering if I maybe missed something…I know I saw the catch lol but definitely no running on the back or legs lol ! Glad to hear Toad 🐸🦎is doing great & gaining more confidence ! So Toad is the lucky one that’s in this magnificent enclosure….Wow, she’s a lucky gal ! She’s in lizard paradise ! 😃🤣🤙🏻 Did you ever do a video about this enclosure build ? Not that I could ever re-create something like that lol…. I’m just curious on how you constructed / built the whole thing !

@@amysreptileadventures6664 yeah, my male is in the other half, and other female is in a vivarium in a different room..... She's bigger than toad... It may be that I switch her and Toad round, pair her with my male and let them have the full space, then when Toad is big enough I can see if the three of them can cohabit peacefully.... Will probably be a month or two before I start with these plans though. There are some videos on here from Dec/January time... The side with the male has changed a fair bit since, and a few minor changes to the side with Toad, but that's as good as it gets until I record a new one.

It's a bit on the small side... Could be made to work for a solo male, but if you are someone that likes to feel you're giving a generous amount of space rather than just enough, would definitely go bigger.

@@MostlyMonitorMad yeah not going to squeeze a lizard into something just for the sake of it. On a plus side iv found an add on preloved with tristis available by me so at least there's a breeder local to me for future.

@@nanoreefer1622 I think that is probably my advert that needs taking down, as won't be breeding for the foreseeable.... I'm not aware of anyone other adverts on Preloved, and have heard nothing in the grape vine about anyone else having eggs or hatchlings.

@@adityarizqim I no longer have them and they went to a new home before they reached breeding age, so wouldn't be able to sorry.

Thanks. This video is a couple of years old. He's probably somewhere between 3 and 4 now.

@@MostlyMonitorMad how big IS your boy right now (btw i subscribed because i LoVE your monitor content

@@AlanSeman thanks for the sub! I've not measured him in about a year, might have grown a little bit, but probably not more than an inch if so.... About 27-28 inch when I last measured.

@@MostlyMonitorMad how old is your monitor ?

@@AlanSeman I'm not sure... Probably between 3&4

Thanks. This species usually gets to around 3 foot, give or take

6x2x2

Thanks. I'm not sure I understand correctly.... Do you live in Florida, or somewhere else that can't have them because of Florida's issues with iguanas?

@@MostlyMonitorMad yes I do

@@michaelfaussett6508 I know of loads of monitor keepers in Florida... Shouldn't be much you can't keep.
