Hi everyone! Hope you enjoyed today’s video! Please make sure you are subscribed and have all notifications turned on so that you don’t miss PART TWO of this series, where we’ll be setting up the breeding paludariums and introducing the crocodile skinks in quarantine from this video into them! Thank you for everyones support and viewership!
Where do you sale your reptile
Sell one to me and i will love to talk to you about it and reproduce them in very good and healthy conditions:)
I am able to buy one female without a tail. How do you think about that?
I have a large aquarium that I am considering to turn into a paludarium for these wonderful creatures.
Hey Dayyan, I’m looking for a good lizard breeder out here in bc, I’m in Kelowna, but can get stuff shipped from Vancouver area I’m sure, you have any recommendations? This is the toughest part of getting into the hobby I’m realizing. I don’t know who (breeders) to trust
Have you tried talking to Clint of Clint's Reptiles, Chandler of Chandler's Wildlife, Kenan from Camp Kenan, or NERD? I think with your stock these RUclipsrs would be more than willing to trade or help you get your stock!
If you have the space I’d keep the extra female. Seems like you’re already attached and it could be a future breeding project.
Please keep the White Eye One they are even rarer than the Red Eye and She Is so pretty, in the future you might Also come across an import male for her
I really wish I could get one. They are just so rare and expensive. They truly are beautiful and amazing animals. Thank you for breeding them.
I sell one! Add me on Instagram: mikevdsloot
Nah, theyre cheap they are about $20-$25 here in Indonesia😂😂😂
@@benaiyahcainellephraim8383 yes all wc
Yeah some of them are wc and some dont you just need to find the right seller.
In Indonesia, we can get them with only 14-17 US dollar
Have you tried talking to Clint of Clint's reptiles? I cannot imagine him not being interested in talking with you about this situation. These are some of the cutest lizards I've ever seen. And there is a lizard called the Stargazer. That is apparently is incredibly expensive but they look so much like a dragon without wings. And these little cuties that you've got have the same look to them as the Stargazer. That beautiful little dragon head is what I'm talking about. And don't get me started on those adorable eyes. Get a hold of Clint
I’d love to find a cb one I’ve known about them since I was in high school still havnt found any for sale
I agree! I bet Clint Laidlaw, of Clint's Reptiles, would love to discuss your project with you too!
@R The Sungazer lizard
I love my red-eyed crocodile skink. She's an amazing animal so I'm happy to see you doing a breeding project. This is the animal that brought me to your channel! I would love a mate for mine someday. I have no idea if mine was wild caught. Someone just handed her to me one day in a deli cup as a gift. I totally appreciate what you're doing for this species.
Btw... keep the beard 😉
I NEED that friend and that deli cup!!!!
I feel like this will be a big thing. Everyone I know in the hobby wants a CBB croc skink, but no one can get one. Talk to other youtubers! I would love to see this channel get more love
You should keep the white eye, they’re a little more rare than the red eye and you might come across a male for her one day
Honestly I secretly wanted another video solely featuring red eyed crocodile sinks, so the fact that you’re dedicating an entire project to it puts the cherry on top for me
I respect your decision, and I think this will be an exciting opportunity.
You would
You’re so close to 100K how exciting!!!
Thank you friend! ☺️🙏🏼
😲 That's so exciting!!! I'm happy for you and this project! I hope you can get more hobbyists to take interest.
I love that little white eyed girl, so cute. She seems like she will have a sweet personality like Sappy (hope I spelled that right?) 😁
very excited for this. I would definitely trust getting a captive bred sskink from you than anywhere else. Can't wait!
You and me both!
This little guys are my favorite ones
I think little miss Nova came to you for a reason! Even if she is just a pet. Super sweet little lady!
Completely agree she's lovely
I adore this little girl 💕
This is a fantastic project, great to see Dayyan and I’m excited to follow along with your journey acclimating these individuals and eventually breeding this species on a much bigger scale!
Yeey more mini Mega Charizard X videos 🤩😄
Just watched this and some of your other videos. I’m amazed at the clarity of your filming. Great detail. Looking forward to starting a reptile room in a couple of years so I’m doing plenty of research now.
As someone who wants to get into reptile breeding in the future, I have a feeling I will be coming back to these videos several times in said future. Not only because I like look-don't-touch captives but also to breed them as well. Good luck on your endeavors, hopefully I can come to a point where I can join in the work as well!
im so excuted to see part to and all the progress you have made with breeding these beauty's
This is amazing! I looove red eyed crocodile skinks, but I have yet to get into the reptile hobby, I'm preparing to start with a crestie :). I do not support the wild caught at all, so I think it is so amazing of you to contribute to the community with captive bread little ones!!! I love it! And you are so thoughtful and careful with all your animals, i really enjoy your videos and other stuff, thx :)
Thank you for breeding them. I really wanna get one in the future so I hope to get one from you when I'm ready for one
I am very excited for updates on this project :) also I think you should keep Nova just bc she seems like a sweetheart ♡ lol
Get a male,(white eye) and keep them as a novelty item. Sell or trade the babies as needed, you can still focus on your red eyes, while still doing a service for the other species.
Some of my best pets were accidents/"unwanted" animals. So keep the female, get her a mate, and carry on
Love this project you’re working on! Also definitely keep and find a male for that singular female! Best of luck 🤞
Wishing you luck on these new breeders! I am so happy to hear you got them from port credit pets I literally just got mine on Thursday!!! Hes so healthy and just like sunny and sappy he’s bold enough to come out! Congrats Dayyan!
So happy that worked out for you!
You can double/triple screen the enclosure or get smaller micron insect mesh to help with the gnats. Couldn't find a link for you but I know it's out there. Keep the extra female and breed the other species too! Who knows, may have those who are interested in that as well!
I wish I had them... they are my favorite for a while now. Love all reptiles. But these are just amazing.
Seriously speaking when I first saw those crocodile skinks I was thinking “man if I had some I would breed them” since no one is really breeding them in captivity. Amazing maybe you would consider selling groups in the future to serious breeders to make a bigger population
Good luck just I started breeding my first reptiles
Thats super cool congrats and good luck
defo keep your random girl... find her a boy aswell... shes too sweet not to and the scales are amazing on her.... look forward to seeing your babies etc. what you are doing is so needed in the hobby x
HECK YES. Heck yes! When this takes off, I'm thinking Red-eyed Croc Skinks might be in my future. It'd be cool to get a network of folks together on this project.
Best of wishes going forward with this project and thanks for doing this, these beauty's deserve it!! Super jealous 😋
Their enclosure is beautiful they're so cute
I totally support you! I think its extremely important to create access to captive born reptiles! I'm excited to see the journey!
Thank you very much! 🙏🏼
Love that you are doing this. Hope you do keep the white eye and start a project with them
I've been looking everywhere in Canada for a crocodile skink and no luck 😞
Good luck on your breeding
I love this channel and who is mad when he is selling animals that he is breeding .it is actually a good help for the hobby because he is good (really good ) in this hobby . he should sell his animals will help Canada i think becouse there aren’t so many people that you can trust
Great mann keep going breed animals that you like and sale them of course to
I think you do a great thing for the hobby niceeeee
By the way i think the videos will be great 👍
You're a goddamned hero.
That’s flattering! I do my best!
I'd love to own a captive bred of my own someday.
I'm not experienced enough to breed wild caught myself (maybe someday)
Good luck in your efforts. It would definitely be cool to see these in the reptile hobby!
I hope so too! Thank you!
this has been my dream animal for awhile now they are so beautiful.
I would definitely get the male you need for that female
Good luck!
Aww look at the cute lil babies 💚 I think its insane how much resemblance they have to crocodiles/dinosaurs they are so beautiful also those plastic tubs that you have the babies in (with the ventilation mesh on top) is it ok to keep reptiles in one of those tubs permanently rather than a tank, if you have all the requirements that they need?
Also the beard and hair are fine I have only seen you with a beard and not without but it looks fine if the length is annoying you you could trim it down a little or just shave it off its up to you 😊
Water bowl fill up level 1
Gosh I would love one as a pet 💗🦎
Amazing project Dayyan! I wish you and the skinks the best. Would these guys like vertical space to use, or best in a low tank?
Thanks so much! They would take advantage of some height as well but if it’s between the two, length is definitely most important!
@@Reptiliatus Sweeeett, thank you! Definitely will keep that in mind! Would love to keep these guys one day.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
HOLY YOUR GROWING SO FAST YOU WERE AT LIKE 100 subbed not long ago
Awww white eyed croc skinks are lovely!
Feel the same way, I was lied to about tokays I bought (said they were cb but were wc) and they went downhill and died quickly. Broke my heart, learned my lesson. Price reflects breeding and needs to be respected in the hobby. It's worth the money! 💜
Great. I never want to by a wild caught animal. I want a pair of red-Eyed Crocodile Skinks. Some day soon.
I think this is a wonderful idea and video. ♡ I feel the same about WC compared to CB. I think that this is a good endeavor though and the best reason to deliberately get wild caught individuals. Plus, it's not like you are doing it for money or for morph stuff, it's because you want the best for the wildnpopulation, which means we need CB options at competitive prices that will be healthier and happier than WC who have to acclimate. Overall it is just a good idea in the long run, and if you have the skill/knowledge/capacity then it is wonderful if you want to put in the work and time to make it happen. Anyway, I totally support it! An I may be interested in some one day too lol bc the WC thing is one reason I've not considered them more. :)
And I totally think what your doing is really amazing and inspiring
hello great video Dayyan
I'm glad you've gone through with it, Dayyan. I am also against public trade of wild source programs for moral reasons as well as cutting down on the illegal part of the exotic pet trade. Some advice from a philosophical point of view is to think about whether or not your idea is an economically feasible idea on all of the levels and why people might be having a problem with it. Is it feasible for you, your community of reptile hobbyists, the larger community of reptile owners, and then public domain keepers, like zoos and exhibits? Being feasible for you is your personal decision. You wouldn't have as many arthropods in your collection if things like larger boarding of reptiles for ownership of another species was an issue. Being feasible for other hobbyists is another issue because as you said, there just wasn't the level of interest, or rather there are typically legal issues in the places where many of us live. Like I just learned I can't own any so long as I live in Florida. I have to read the rules all the time and there are so many. It just matters how an animal is classified by my state, even if my state is dumb. There are a lot of introduced species here and the state is trying to (at least look like they) manage it better. So it isn't as economically feasible in that close circle. Those are the people who are going to disagree. For them, it's about the support and whether they think your efforts are being wasted. So what? Bigger picture, your idea can have an effect on private ownership and public exhibits. In other words don't undersell the conservation possibilities. I'm sure some interests locally up there wouldn't mind sourcing from you. You could make considerable money while having a good time doing what you love.
I just wanted to say thank you. I recently acquired a Red Eye Crocodile Skink and your videos helped me to set up its tank. I followed your build step by step & absolutely love it. I still cant believe I found one of these guys locally cuz I have been looking for a while now.
My pleasure! Happy to help!
I just found your channel through this video. The fact that you have 2(!) Crocodile Skinks is so surprising to me. I want at least 1 in my lifetime, I think they are the most beautiful little creatures. I'm so glad you are making an effort to create more captive bred skinks!
Awwwwwww, how cute :)
You should keep the lighter one as well
Have you considered any names for your little breeding operation? Is Dayyan's Diminutive Dragons on the table? lmao Really excited to see passionate hobbyists working to alleviate unnecessary pressure on wild populations. Keep up the good work man!
I've been wanting a pair but... what stopped me was the food situation. I have no place to culture bugs 🥺😭 they are such a beautiful animals!
Love the reasons behind your breeding plans. I intend to follow a similar path with Tokays, they don't seem to be widely available here in the UK, and I'd love to work on producing more 'friendly' captive bred babies!
Thank you! Wonderful, wishing you lots of success!
I think what you are doing is great! You are a very knowledgeable in what you do so sharing your experiences and knowledge will help others to look after their pets successfully. Keep up the great work.
Much love! We have a pair of white eyed croc skinks and are expecting our first hatchling any day now.
Wow Very beautiful
I like it
Thanks!
This is amazing of you! It's so hard to find them even here in the states, I hope you will be able to make a big impact and wish you a lot of good vibes for the breeding pairs! :D
The babies are so darn cute even taking food from their siblings? I really like them. I love watching all of them ,thank you so much.👍🏻👏🏼😍 from California with love. The babies are adorable and I am happy you will keep breeding them. I love Sappy and Sunny, they make the cutest babies. Skinks are definitely the cutest lizards. I can’t wait to see everyone in their new enclosure.👍🏻👏🏼
I absolutely love the crock skinks!!! So excited for your breeding project!!!
Thanks!
I think this is a great project and I agree there should be 0% of red-eyed crocodile skink being wild caught
Thank you!
You should do more care guides on these animals
Pls trade with me
I want one!
Everybody youtube channel is growing but mine. Lol I'm catching up.
How exciting!!! Thank you for taking us along on your journey!
i love red eyed crocodile skinks!!!!!!!
Yoo reptiliatus I'm so happy!!! I have been eating for a croc update for a very very long time! But I have a question for when I get mine: how do I clean out the water dish/keep it clean without having dirt in it and one more question, is the substrate okay for them to consume? (I bought terraflora from the biodude) please get back to me as soon as you can! Thank you! -D L
That is super cool your going to start prpducing Croc Skinks. They are so cute, and personable. If your pairs produce, it's super awesome that they are amazing parents.Love your vlog so much and your critters
Super exciting!
I know it stinks I've been looking for a pair forever... I absolutely love them
Leave the beard😂don’t shave it off 👍🏼
🧔🏻
I got my first pair a couple months back and I’m getting a 2nd pair next month , I just discovered you’re channel and I’m so happy man ! I’m excited to start watching this series to the most recent one
Wow, it's a shame people aren't breeding these more, these are some of my favorites in your collection. Great job and good luck getting the project up and running
count me as a neew subscriber. Thank you for promoting captive bred...and showing how wild caught specimens can reduce the pressure for more wild caught. They do reproduce quite slowly. You should actually increase your operation as much as you can handle.
If I got 2 read that were already captive bred would you still have to quarantine them?
I love the look of crocodile skinks. What a great opportunity!
That is a great movie!! I also have a Red-Eyed Crocodile Skink.
Awesome!
KEEP HER
Really cool, Dayyan!! I'm hoping to get/breed some Crocodile Skinks someday. Maybe I'll be able to get them from you!! 😃🦎🦎👍
Hi...im excited for ur project, you will do GREAT, im sure..I think u should keep the white eyed gal and get a male for her so u can have a little variety to offer when you get to the selling part of the project...just my thoughts..💯💯🤗😘👏👏🦃🐠🐛🦜🐸🐊🦧🦖🦩🦊🦊🐓🕷🐍🦋🐅🐋🐢🦚🦔🐳🤙🤙🤟❤
I'm reals exited can't wait for videos about crocodile red eyed skink.
Almost 100k👍
Yessss! I'm still in the research stages, but I plan on building a crocodile skink breeding program (I'm located in New England) in 5ish years!
This was a interesting video
Thanks!
I love this idea! Very selfless and noble of you good sir! I love "Nova" keep her and later get a male. It would be interesting to see if there is any difference in personality if any. Probably not or very little. You will give her a wonderful home and if she goes back....hard to say. And the crowd chants NOVA STAYS, NOVA STAYS 😂 oh...no pressure.
I kid, it's your life your journey, I think you are making a phenomenal decision to breed CBB baby dragons🙌💓
Glad I found your videos, I am very much looking forward to getting a crocodile skink. Currently I have an axolotl and greatly appreciate viewing creatures from a distance and still be able to enjoy them :)
I don't know if you'll see this and I'll copy this message into the comment you made, just a heads up!
Have you tried talking to Clint of Clint's Reptiles, Chandler of Chandler's Wildlife, Kenan from Camp Kenan, or NERD? I think with your stock these RUclipsrs would be more than willing to trade or help you get your stock!
Port Credit Pets!!!! I didnt expect to hear the store i got my cornsnake from! ive gotten a lot of stuff from them and they seem great
I've been wanting to get into reptile breeding in a bad way. I was going to start with Eurydactylodes, I'd love to start breeding Crocodile skinks. They're such amazing little lizards.
Them being shy/fearful (and therefore stressed) and not cbb was turning us off from them, but you're 100% selling us.
I don't mind not handling, I just don't want to have terrified captives in my house.
