@@TomCrutchfieldReptileFarm Have you heard about Chito and Pocho? They were close to where my relatives are from in Costa Rica! It is a beautiful story! A man and crocodile as best friends! There is even a documentary about them! I steer people to watch it whenever I hear people talk poorly about crocodilians or reptiles in general.
Just wanted to say that little swimming area with water falling down is amazingly well done. I would like to live in such an enclosure if I was a crocodile monitor! Don't often see such beutiful living areas for captive lizards
Well, wild has more freedom true, but also more danger. Reptiles ar durable, but i guess they may still die to a single injury, that didnt heal properly, and be in pain because of that.
My Russian tortoise sometimes likes to sit on my shoulder like that. He’ll hug my ankle till I pick him up and put him in my lap. Then, he’ll climb up my torso to my shoulder. He’ll stay like that for a while very content.
@@decimation9780 Tortoises are actually very adept climbers, they just look awkward doing it. Many tortoises are native to rather rocky landscapes. Russian tortoises are native to the Steppes which is a cooler arid landscape at the foothills of mountains. Their claws are designed for digging. In the wild they are known to travel up to 4 miles just to find food. That’s traveling uphill, over rocks, across a variety of terrain to get to where they want to be. If a tortoise wants to get somewhere, they’re going to find a way. They’ll go over things, under things, move things out of the way, trample things...they’ll find a way
@@decimation9780 yeah mine free roams the first floor and every day the dog, cat, my roommate, and I play our favorite game when I get home from work. “Where is the tortoise now and what is he doing?” our cat has taken it upon herself to babysit “the rock baby”. She gets very upset when he’s doing things she doesn’t approve of.
@@cornpop780 Oh god, please no. Lemme guess, UK? The country where the queen isn't even really a queen? Where the Prime Minister actually passes the laws?
I understand why. They don’t understand that these lizards are as intelligent as dogs and toddlers. And that there’s never been a death by a captive monitor lizard
I know just stupid right though mind you my dog is a very small breed and so lazy she can't even be bothered to put the effort in when you ask her to move over let alone hurt some one lol but even so I don't know why they're being so slilly any thing can hurt you really if it feels like it dogs are no different these lizards are such beautys .
Most people don't have any or very little knowledge about Lizards (including me). Dogs on the other hand are known by almost everyone the same goes how to read their behavior. Dogs are also way easier to understand. Their tail and ears show of how they feel so you can't miss it. Dogs have also facial expressions which are also very easy to read. I couldn't tell you when or if a Lizard is upset, happy or hungry. But i agree with your statement at 0:29. Even Sharks and Crocodilians can show affection. There is this "Crocodile Man" In Costa Rica he swims with this massive thing.
I'll never think to associate display of love with reptiles. They look scaly, mean, and unlike mammals which are more approachable. But I guess every living being is capable of love.
I don't think you want to move here unless you're currently in a war-torn 3rd world country. Even then there are lots of less violent 1st world nations to move to, like any number of Western European nations, or East Asian countries like South Korea and Japan.
I’ve heard about those Monitors. They’re the longest Lizards on earth reaching a length up to 15 FT. Only Crocodile Monitors are a little lighter than Komodo Dragons. Plus, the Crocodile Monitor wouldn’t try to eat anyone for lunch.
The more love you give any living creature, whatever that creature is, the more love you will get back. Treat them with love, kindness and respect, and they will do the same. The only exception to this rule is man.
Man I didn’t know you had a channel!! I always thought you should have one! Well you have another subscriber here my friend! And I wish you all the luck!! I have a friendly Nile monitor on my channel
Once they learn how fascinating a lizard can be, they'll come around. Just make sure to let them know not to use insecticides or cleansers around him. Also, know that it takes time and effort to get one this accepting of you. These here were raised outdoors apparently, but, if you keep one indoors and don't regularly take it outside, they often go wild on you the SECOND time you take them outside, going apeshit. Start it young when easily manageable and get it used to it and keep it up and you, too, can have a critter with the attitude of the one seen in this video.
Tom, would you want to keep a komodo dragon some day? Looking at zoo captive individuals they seem to be the closest to mammal/bird like behaviour (playing, tho I am sure I have seen an ackie playing with its owner) or more like a bigger croc monitor which would like to walk around with you.
Monitor: this tree is warm. I will climb it.
No
No
Yes
(っ˘з(˘⌣˘ )
Yes
"treat your animals well and watch how well they treat you", you sound like a wise man, good video.
I have a bearded dragon. They are not the same as mammals of course, but they still know and show love.
@Dogbrah shut up fake pet vet
I have one too, and I completely agree with that lol
They are very loving creatures, mine gets mad at me if I don't cuddle him daily
I can agree they give a more calming precense
@Dogbrah you can't agree until you feel the experience
"They have emotions. They are not cold blooded dim witted creatures"
THANK YOU 💜
I want to see them treated more humanely. You are welcome.

I’m sorry, how does he climb like that? My impression of tortoises is that they’re not exactly good climbers, to put it lightly.

Reptiles are the best
Not when your queen is one
@@cornpop780
What
@@Drako9823 In my country we have a queen imposed on us. Many people believe she is a reptilian/lizard people person. Check it out peace bro

@@cornpop780 lmao. Why do you guys think that?
LMAO all these people afraid of croc monitors like the dogs they love are harmless

Yeah , people own 200lbs German Shepard and doberman but are terrified of a 20lbs lizard lol

Croc monitors are extremely dangerous what are you talking about
@@thebluescfc3299 yes but so are dogs so are people so are alot of other animals but I think they know what they are doing
I always envy the lives of people that are able to do this.
One of my favourite things I've learnt is that reptiles like soft fuzzy things like fleece.
God bless you. I support responsible reptile ownership. Beautiful, wonderful animals.
I would love to hug that monitor.
Awwww, me too.
love that water feature
What a strange yet adorable doggo-
Awww I miss my monitor Barney. He lived 11 years. It's so true. They are very loving and intelligent creatures.
Loves his shoulder rides! 👍
what a beautiful enclosure !
Croc monitors are pretty brilliant by lizard standards.
They're beautiful guys 🥰
Wow, good job raising these guys!
Love it! I got a baby of my own , I watch yall to treat an learn mine , so that he can love me as I see yalls love u
Wise words sir and similar to what I tell my grand kids 👍
what a beautiful creature!
he is so cute and gentle.
I love your message at the end!
(ʃƪ＾3＾）
It's very clear you love your monitors by how beautiful and clean their enclosure is!
This man is so wholesome! I want him as my grandpa!
I have a leopard gecko and he knows who his friends are.
He loves exploring outside. And he'll let just about anyone pick
him up.
I just got a baby leopard gecko! I'm so excited to watch him grow and teach him what scritches are.
WOW! from someone whos kept reptiles on and off for 20 years this is incredibly insightful
What a cutie!
Easiest way to a reptiles' heart is warmth and food.
The big monitor love to get hug.
So cute!!! Love lizards!
Well they are cold-blooded
This is an inspirational video; well done!
Beautiful creatures. Love the markings. Also nice to see them so relaxed and happy.

Seen this video on the monitor lizard community Facebook group, posted by Tommy Edward.
"it" is not a "thing", it is a living being, a person.
I love these animals
I mean if I was a monitor I’d also love to be picked up!
Correct me if I’m wrong but Americans are so nostalgic and nice.Hopefully I’ll get to move there.
I don't think you want to move here unless you're currently in a war-torn 3rd world country. Even then there are lots of less violent 1st world nations to move to, like any number of Western European nations, or East Asian countries like South Korea and Japan.
Reptiles are just scaly doggs who understand feeling.
This is a man that loves his reptiles.
Understands them well.
Nature is beautiful
Amazing reptiles I love it.

And comes this lizzards from Neuguinea?
@@crocketwallfass9369 I know that these LIZARDS come from NEW GUINEA.
@@dylangeltzeiler946 Thanks a lot and stay health!!
10 ft would already be fairly large, 15 ft is something you’d expect from some giant prehistoric monitor not a croc monitor
@@scatman9166 Oh you mean the Megalania. That prehistoric monitor lizard however is 25 FT Long.
My dog is a 23 year old green iguana. And yeah they have emotions.
nice crocs you have there mr crutchfield
Its a monitor
@@possum2620 they are crocodile monitor's
Cold-blooded, but not cold-hearted.
You guys are brace asf😭 that thing could inflict life changing injuries in a second
Would love to have a little cone with bill
Be Awesome like Bill
He is so cool
The more love you give any living creature, whatever that creature is, the more love you will get back. Treat them with love, kindness and respect, and they will do the same. The only exception to this rule is man.
lmao not every animal can feel love, some will only trust and see you as a non-threat or not a food
Fun fact crocodile moniters have the biggest teeth out of moniter lizards
Remember people the one thing reptiles love most is body heat
that is a big hunk of love.
I love reptiles 💜💜
That monitor has a very well trained human
That was very wholesome
makes sense...i treated my cat like a Princess and she treated me like a peasant lmao
i love being that guy so im going to be but they are literally cold blooded creatures
Beautiful animal. Looks well taking care of
Love it.
You are very lucky because very less than person who loves to nature and animal I am very excited
That croc monitor is BIG and LONG.
Look at that tail.
Man I didn’t know you had a channel!! I always thought you should have one! Well you have another subscriber here my friend! And I wish you all the luck!! I have a friendly Nile monitor on my channel
You're a wonderful ambassador
Monitor lizards the best and smartest reptiles in the world!
He was using the metaphor "cold blooded"
that's an interesting dog you have there
Nothing like reptilian love. True love.
What kind of crazy suicidal shit is this? Wow! She is the queen of dragons! I am impressed.
most reptiles will go to heat and they do get to know you after a time!
A big good boi
Animals experience pleasure and pain, and will pursue pleasure over pain as any (or most) humans.
HOLY COW THAT’S COOL
A blessed video
This is not helping me resist the urge to get a lizard of some sort. My family isn’t gonna be pleased😅

Oh I love this so much 🙌👏🙌👏🙌👏

They may be "cold blooded" (ectothermic), but reptiles are not cold hearted 😊
I want a dragon! 😃
😱wow! That’s 👏
awesome! :D
Um dregon de comodo meu deus que bonito
amen we'll said well said
