For ALL business inquiries, DM me on Instagram or shoot an email to me. Let's collab!

They are definitely smart af. Their facial recognition is crazy and my Cumingi comes when I call his name. Target training and the list goes on and on. All 5 of my Varanids are always watching me whenever I'm in the reptile room.
Something I would tell someone if they are thinking about getting one. The monitor itself is not the large expense. It's everything else that is.
Great video Will
Thanks my man💯
Got me a mangrove monitor lizard's
Nice!
Early AF 😂. But great video. I have both a Tegu and monitors well soon Ill have monitors, you know 😂. Tegus are smart reptiles but monitors are intelligent bro. You can see the wheels turning all the time
Dude it’s so fun watching them
Me: *leaves an Atom Sized Gap on my enclosure*

REALLL😂😭😂😂😭
My best advice for someone wanting to own a monitor would be DO YOUR RESEARCH AND HAVE A PROPERLY SIZED ENCLOSURE FIRST. MAKE SURE YOU CAN AFFORD THE ANIMAL I.E. food costs, lighting, substrate,
100000%
they eat alooot
@redworm93 alooooot
@@willexotic i’ve got a black throat a white throat a blue tail and a peach throat coming lol. they really eat a surprising amount lmao
@redworm93 true , they eat alot, but we often feed them more than we should
After watching me slide the door open on my first enclosure for a couple weeks, my tree monitor began bracing the flat top of his head against door at the top corner and trying to slide it open himself while bracing against the rock scaping. He was still only a few months old. I upgraded the doors to glass almost immediately after seeing this because as he got bigger he would definitely have been able to slide those acrylic doors open by doing that. They're crazy smart.
Now that you mention it, my macraei does a similar thing, he’ll push his body against a branch and try and slide it open with his head and get his snails in the crack. thankfully its a locking window, but that is so awesome
@@willexotic Yeah... its exactly like that. He did it right where the side scaping comes up close to the door. Shoves his whole body in the space between the door and the scape.. Then puts the flat part of his head against the glass and gyrates while his hands are securing him in place.
There's no other explanation for what he's doing besides trying to slide the door open.
Clever bois...
Dude, blue is such an incredible monitor, what a specimen! Advice I’d say is you never stop learning so take in as much as you can as best you can from the most respectable sources you can find
For sure!
Advice for new prospective monitor lizard owner?
- Research research research!
Do all of your research like adult enclosure size, diet, heating, humidity, substrate, etc. all BEFORE you get the animal.
And then you need to research how to handle and tame the animal.
Super important-“BEFORE”
Do you breed ackees monitor lizards
I don’t unfortunately
Couldn't agree more with monitors being smart af, dragonite always finds new ways to impress me lol
my guy dragonite
Did you get a new camera or something? Blue's yellows are popping!
I’ve been trying to learn more about my camera and how to better use it, i’m finally able to catch some of their color more closely to how it is in real life. He had amazing yellows, and when he sheds, even hues of lavender
Awww grow tents. Yes yes thats definitely another video 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I would love to see a something about fatty liver disease. Too many new keepers don,t know about it.
I actually have a video out on that further down!
did you get nipped on the ear??? it’s just red at the top lol
Nah probably just red😂
Can a monitor drive around with you?
In proper restraints or mobile caging of course
I wouldn’t recommend having them in a non-proper temperature gradient for long. Don’t drive with them unless absolutely needed imo
Are monitors fed daily?
Depends on the age/weight of the individual animal
Blue at the end of the video was the best
always hungry
Probably that it takes a lot more time and effort than you'd think to gain their trust and for them to be comfortable with you! Like there's so many people online with fantastic established relationships with their monitors and people probably dont realise that this can take months or years of tiny baby steps of trust training
for sure. takes a long time!
I gotta get one of those shirts!
👀
Hey man loving this channel currently working with a few monitors and its good info
thank you! i really appreciate that. what species are you working with?
@@willexotic well I have a trio of ackies I got 4 years ago that I didn't do the right steps so I can do everything but pick them up I learned a lot from them. Now I currently have a 6 and 2 month old black dragon and normal AWM and 2 baby savannahs. So far it's going well just gotta keep doing daily feelings and taking it slow. It's just hard for me not to want to force handle that's how I grew up learning to handle monitors. I got my first savannah when I was 16 which was 14 years ago and I force handled him and after a few months the dude was super chill and great
@Jamesgangreptiles yeah man, always best to build that relationship on trust- it’ll make a much happier animal. That’s a sick collection!
