amazing. Yes, monitors are EXTREMELY smart, only a dis-compassionate moron couldn't see that. Then again, it must be that they are one of the many stupid human's, they don't like it that most other people are a lot smarter than they are and they have to find some way to feel superior. So they say lizards are dumb. Just pity them and don't worry about it.
@varanid9 FYI, I've been hand feeding and feeding lizards food out of my mouth for over 20 yrs and never once have been bitten, for one when you raise a reptile such as an savi or even an iguana you learn its characteristics, and to say reptiles cannot be taught is not true, both of my big lizards one a mature male iggy and the other a male savi, BOTH know not to shit ANYWHERE other then in there shitting boxes, and both will stop on a dime from doing whatever it is their doing when i yell NO
@bleachyourwork I clearly state that they can learn things on their own, but you're full of shit if you're trying to imply that they recognize you as their "master". My remarks were directed to the idiot who was wanting to "teach" them by smacking them; reptiles and negative reinforcement: BAD idea.
@varanid9 dumbest fukin comment ever , these creatures learned that the care giver was not a threat dipshit , dont fukin wasste my time with dumbshit cant be fukin taught , uh have you ever even owned a big lizard , dont answer i dnt give a shit ,fukin waste
@varanid9 cool , congrats lizard whisperer.ive had some cool shit but i must admit i didnt too carried away , an alligator sounds cool but it just wouldnt be fair tothe creature , unless you have acres and acres and can have a secure fenced in pond. Do you have that ? Then i dont think its a good idea to have a tiger or a croc in a darn apartment.
@varanid9 Yes lizards can be taught,I have afew that comes to their names. I wish more people would work with their lizards because they are smarter then you think ! I will out a video responce on here to show you some of my lizards responding to their names,with and without food and outside.
This video is awesome. I would be very happy if i know how to tame reptiles like you do.This is why i dont buy savannah varanus because im afraid of that he grows up and bites hard.
If you truly trust your lizards try using LESS food when you mouth feed, its not really trusting them when you have half a bloody french stick length of food between your lips lol
Aww that's the sweetest thing I've ever seen! Beautiful lizards <3 I'd love to have one, but unfortunately I'm unable to take care of it on my own and my husband won't take care of one for me. Ah well, I love my bunnies and guinea pigs, I'm happy with them right now :)
Ahhhh sweet babies. I know very little about monitors, I wish I knew more, but these babies seem so gentle, you must have done something right to get them that way!! Your kids are so lucky being raised to love and appreciate reptiles. I was discouraged as a kid (beaten for handling a garter snake, "derrr facepalm" my birth mom was a drunken crackhead), even though I was in love with snakes from day one. I hope you have a long happy life with these awesome animals and your kids too.
LOVE it.. I have a lil guy but it's a lil timid,, how can I train it like you do your's? any tips? Plz let me know id love to do that with mine one day.
T_T I miss mine he passed away last year...We figured it was a birth defect of some kind..he only got 2 feet and was 4 years old..took him to 3 vets..didn't seem to help..I don't know if I will ever find one as nice and loving as him..I raised him from a hatchling and he got along with my bearded dragon
They ARE mindless eating machines! They are just sitting in wait for their captors to become old & feeble so that they can bite off their fingers & toes while they sleep! (I'm totally kidding...I so want to get another Sav someday!)
your an idiot monitors can give that child a severe bite or even take off a finger why would you put your child in that spot lol people who think thses reps are tame lol fools I would never do that to my kid
I hope my Asian water monitor is that tame later on. He's only 4 months old but really jumpy I try to handle him an hour a day but he's to wild sometimes. Taming tips?
Ya know, there's always people posting shit about what you can or cannot do. Like hand feeding or mouth feeding is wrong and bad, whatever, there's nothing wrong with it. It only builds trust and bond. Hell I've fed some of my snakes by hand, ones that I know I can trust enough. Some people always got something to say, but this video is a great video and shows a lot of character. So all you nay sayers who think you know it all should just stfu and keep your ignorance to yourself. Have a nice day
@bleachyourwork ill back bleach here to many people thnking they know more than you because they ahve heard this or watched some dumbass movie about man eating geckos lol i have 2 burmese pythons and a bosc monitor i feed from my hand the snake are a little less agressive than other burmese that are tong fed as the snakes know if they bite me i aint gonna be happy and they dont get out for a week and my burms absoutly love being out its gotten to a point now i shut the room door open the cage
@mikeybhoywan and they come out them selves most people should just worry about there own animals or lifes if they have one or the other and leave people with there own view unless its animal abuse whichthis NOT! as bleach also said this is building trust i would prefer not to put the meal/morio worms in my mouth but thats just because i dont really like the taste of maggot
@bleachyourwork The issue is A) the food reptiles eat can cause food born illnesses,B savannah monitors have teeth, they do miss sometimes miss. I own both, snakes and a savannah monitor and i just toss my reptiles food saves should be eating a high insect diet) but will use my hands if the snake is picky about f/t.This lady is an issue as she has wrote a book on how to care for them but fails to provide proper housing causing untimely deaths, also she is feeding them the wrong diet...
@bleachyourwork I use to feed my bearded dragon from my palm till he got too big for my forearm lol, my iguana use to sit on my shoulder and eat lettuce from my mouth. fantastic bonds you can have with lizards. Rip george and spike.
@bleachyourwork And you're a dumbass; all it takes is one time for a fucking idiot like you to lose a body part that WON'T grow back. Also, they often possess bacteria that you DON'T want in your system. But since I know you'll break bad, talk shit and continue to think like trailer trash, have a nice life as a stupid fuck.
I have a black throat and he is not aggressive, doesn't hiss, tail whip, or threaten to bite. This video, however, is just ridiculous and kind of disgusting.
At the end of the day, they are very able predators and can rip a face apart in no time.
These people are gambling and I would never recommend mouth to mouth feeding with any reptile.
I would love to have a monitor lizard, the only thing i could think of to ask is what do they eat? what can they eat? what were they feeding them in this video?
Mouth feeding is so dangerous... I can't believe some people. Varanus Exanthematicus is a WILD ANIMAL. Some kid is going to "mouth feed" a monitor one day and get their face mauled. Then responsible reptile keepers get to feel the pressure of a possible ban of monitors because people were stupid. UGH.
@vauhxtn the minimum Savanna Monitor Encloser is an 8x4x4 for a full grown one but the bigger the better and this video gives of the wrong idea heres a site that will give you the correct info that your looking for by the way be ready to spend atleast a few thousand for the Monitor ill message you the site.
wow 1 day that monitor is ganna snap and kill 1 of thoes kids.... this is y there r python bands and this is y they r starting another ban 4 monitors.....thanks 4 contributing to to congresses bill against exzotic pets
@krazykraut86 I doubt VERY much that this monitor will one day kill a person?? It`s people like YOU who contribute to the proposed bans, with your wildly exaggerated comments and it`s YOU who helps give animals like these such a bad reputation !!
@ornatusvaranid Exactly, my stance on this is unless you've had any experience with a monitor and personally know their temperament, do have a nice tall glass of shut the fuck up because clearly you don't know what you're talking about. A poodle could savage a full grown man if it wanted to or was irresponsibly put in a position where it could, same as most animals have the ability, as do humans, the difference is as handlers we respect our pets enough not to put them in that position.
Reptiles r not mindless killing machines they r opportunist. They will bite u tame or not. I am a vet student & have a savannah monitor who has never bit anyone in 3years of his life until tonight! He almost broke my thumb! Monitors stress easily & if fed live prey will associate ur fingers as food! I looked away for 2 sec after feedin him 2 close his cage & he lunged & got me! They can be real chill but u have 2 understand they WILL bite u if u give them the opportunity. They r instinct driven!
@rockerbaby2010 my monitor has had 'opportunity' every day of her life for over 2 years now, I hand feed her mice and give her cuddles and kisses after observing her behaviours and making a judgement on her mood. You said you looked away for 2 seconds, that's one thing I'd never do, always show that you're vigilent with any animal. I've known monitors that never bit their whole lives, monitors are like us that way, doesn't mean either shouldn't be around though, be sensible and exercise caution.
I'm loooking to get a monitor or a tegu, i want something that makes a good pet, something that doesnt mind being handled and thatll grow to 4 or 5ft or so, what would you suggest ?
@rrredzzz i dont know if u made your mind up about what type of lizard to get but if i was u i would get a savannah monitor bcuz they get super tame fulle grown 3 to 4 feet but all depends on the care and they are easier to care for them then tegus
@rrredzzz If you're not afraid of a little hard work to tame and make a good setup I'd really recommend a bosc monitor, they make awesome companions and are as tame as you train them to be, they grow above 4-5 foot, need daily handling and exercise - when the weather is warm enough I take mine out for walks in the park, she loves snuffling through the grass, they also love a warm bath, smimming and diving, hard work but very worth it.
@rrredzzz an argentine black and white tegu. i have a boy and he is such a sweetie. sleeps next to me at night, loves being pet...never opened his mouth once out of aggression. say part is i have to sell him or give him away because im going to college next year. if your interested let me know, ill sell him cheap
@rrredzzz a monitor is a tegu u dumbass god people just think one day imma wake up and buy a monitor without knowing shit...prolly doesn't even know where they come from find a monitor that catches your eyes read up about them for a month or two than make your pick....prolly would end up killing that poor thing
@dmoneyxxx101 Youre a fucking idiot first of all, i never spoke to you so go fuck yourself, i care for Snakes, dotn know much about monitors and clearly i never asked you anything so again, go fuck yourself
@rrredzzz lol ya you like snakes better cus you prolly be playing with yours 10 times a day and snakes don't have the personally like monitors fucking weak never wanna sit still
@rrredzzz get a tegu... their alot more easire to tame. I have 3 and i would consider getting a Argentine Red or Black and White. Columbian tegus are more aggresive and harder to tame.
@rrredzzz hey man ive recently started taking care of reptiles myself i dnt know about one that big from PERSONAL experience but from experience of my freinds i can recomend if you want a BIG Lizard a Monitor but they CAN get bigger but AVERAGE is 3-5 feet, PERSONALLY i love my Bearded Dragons they grow to just under 2 feet, LOVE being handeled and are dead easy to look after if you can offer it love when u can!
@rrredzzz tegus are great pets and a little easier to tame then monitors if it size ur interested in then get a giant black and white tegu. other wise get an argentine red tegu =D
@rrredzzz he says he doesnt have any reptiles because he killed them all. This guy bought a few savannah monitors and a black throat and slowly killed them by letting them roam the house and feeding them some kind of food that he made. The problem came when he went to the forums and and tried to convince everyone that we should mistreat our animals as well in order to "tame" them. Of course all of his animals died, he was reported to authorities, and he was banned from all reptile forums.
i have both a savannah and a argentine black and white tegu....they can all make good pets in how you raise them....my friend also has a savannah and it is mean as hell....i cant even hold it without welding gloves.....one word of advice....NO LIVE FOOD.....feed them prekilled food or if you get a tegu you can mix in some fruits and veggies....good luck man
@rrredzzz get a argentine black and white tegu they are Dog tame and i mean it, but if u want a monitor go with a savannah, black throat or white throat all three of those are get im goin to get a savannah soon!!
@TheKraiger not realy, like any animal if u treat it like shit, it will die young. but a properly treated savannah monitor will easly live 10 yrs in some cases as much as 12-14yrs
@ornatusvaranid Because myself, staff at the local petshop and specialist breeders have heard of the odd case and witnessed monitors of around 25-30, backed by a local exotic vet, it's rare but not entirely impossible, some very old savs. I guess it's the same with humans, we won't all reach 100 but every so often you hear of somebody surpassing it.
@polkadotpants finding a monitor that old though I imagine would be like trying to find a sasquatch, it's funny how so many people have heard of them reaching that age but looking for a link to show you I can't actually find anything solid, I was excited when I heard that but starting to think it's just one of those rumours; still for a vet to estimate upto 30 is amazing, I hope my cutie pie can live that long
@polkadotpants Rumours, just rumours!! I agree, it would be very nice if they did get to that age, but 15 to 20yrs is excellent; if you can keep them alive and healthy that long, you`ve done a good job!
Working in a pet shop, or being an exotic vet doesn`t mean they have a great knowledge of these animals.
@TheKraiger A properly cared for sav can live 20 years. The problem is with owners getting them and then feeding them all the wrong things. The leading cause of death in captive savs is obesity.
Cutest savs ever!! I love it when they're taking food from people all nice like "I'll just have this kthx" I hope I can give as much love and care to Miles and Tremor, my new pair of baby savs.
i had a sav.. named mojo he was great i could take him out side to sun bask and he would never stray far from me i would hold him every day from the time he hatched so he would be very tame
Good video! It shows they are and can be tame. They are very smart and can learn not to attack. My sav will climb out of his cage, up my shirt and chill on my shoulder. He wwalks around my house with 2 dogs and three cats with out even the hint of aggressiveness or fear. I need to get some good vids up rather than just feeding time.
haha my buddy has a monitor and he also likes have it grab food from his mouth. One day i told him to put a cricket in his mouth for Liz. When she grabbed for it, she smashed it. He was spitting out bug parts which made me vomit. Good times!!
As someone who has always thought that reptiles were creepy, I have to say that yours are amazing. I never knew monitors could be so tame and loving. They seem as good of a pet as any cat or dog. I've been thinking about getting a new pet, but because of my allergies to any thing furry I thought that finding a loving pet would be impossible. Maybe I should look in to getting a monitor?

A poodle could savage a full grown man if it wanted to or was irresponsibly put in a position where it could, same as most animals have the ability, as do humans, the difference is as handlers we respect our pets enough not to put them in that position.

Reptiles r not mindless killing machines they r opportunist. They will bite u tame or not. I am a vet student & have a savannah monitor who has never bit anyone in 3years of his life until tonight! He almost broke my thumb! Monitors stress easily & if fed live prey will associate ur fingers as food! I looked away for 2 sec after feedin him 2 close his cage & he lunged & got me! They can be real chill but u have 2 understand they WILL bite u if u give them the opportunity. They r instinct driven!

@rockerbaby2010 my monitor has had 'opportunity' every day of her life for over 2 years now, I hand feed her mice and give her cuddles and kisses after observing her behaviours and making a judgement on her mood. You said you looked away for 2 seconds, that's one thing I'd never do, always show that you're vigilent with any animal. I've known monitors that never bit their whole lives, monitors are like us that way, doesn't mean either shouldn't be around though, be sensible and exercise caution.

@rrredzzz i dont know if u made your mind up about what type of lizard to get but if i was u i would get a savannah monitor bcuz they get super tame fulle grown 3 to 4 feet but all depends on the care and they are easier to care for them then tegus
MrBeardeddragonspike 1 year ago
@rrredzzz If you're not afraid of a little hard work to tame and make a good setup I'd really recommend a bosc monitor, they make awesome companions and are as tame as you train them to be, they grow above 4-5 foot, need daily handling and exercise - when the weather is warm enough I take mine out for walks in the park, she loves snuffling through the grass, they also love a warm bath, smimming and diving, hard work but very worth it.

@rrredzzz get a tegu... their alot more easire to tame. I have 3 and i would consider getting a Argentine Red or Black and White. Columbian tegus are more aggresive and harder to tame.

@rrredzzz tegus are great pets and a little easier to tame then monitors if it size ur interested in then get a giant black and white tegu. other wise get an argentine red tegu =D
BoY860 9 months ago
@rrredzzz he says he doesnt have any reptiles because he killed them all. This guy bought a few savannah monitors and a black throat and slowly killed them by letting them roam the house and feeding them some kind of food that he made. The problem came when he went to the forums and and tried to convince everyone that we should mistreat our animals as well in order to "tame" them. Of course all of his animals died, he was reported to authorities, and he was banned from all reptile forums.

@TheKraiger A healthy bosc monitor can last anywhere upto 50 years - 5 to 10 years generally applies to bosc monitors in the wild
polkadotpants 1 year ago
@polkadotpants Not sure where you get they can live for 50 years, maybe 15 to 20 if properly cared for.
I agree, in many (but NOT all cases by any stretch of the imagination), they can be as tame as you make them, but it takes lots of time and patience!
ornatusvaranid 1 year ago
@ornatusvaranid Because myself, staff at the local petshop and specialist breeders have heard of the odd case and witnessed monitors of around 25-30, backed by a local exotic vet, it's rare but not entirely impossible, some very old savs. I guess it's the same with humans, we won't all reach 100 but every so often you hear of somebody surpassing it.
polkadotpants 1 year ago
@polkadotpants finding a monitor that old though I imagine would be like trying to find a sasquatch, it's funny how so many people have heard of them reaching that age but looking for a link to show you I can't actually find anything solid, I was excited when I heard that but starting to think it's just one of those rumours; still for a vet to estimate upto 30 is amazing, I hope my cutie pie can live that long
polkadotpants 1 year ago
@polkadotpants Rumours, just rumours!! I agree, it would be very nice if they did get to that age, but 15 to 20yrs is excellent; if you can keep them alive and healthy that long, you`ve done a good job!
Working in a pet shop, or being an exotic vet doesn`t mean they have a great knowledge of these animals.
ornatusvaranid 1 year ago
@polkadotpants I don`t know where you get they can live for 50 years from, I would say 15 to 20 yrs if properly cared for!
ornatusvaranid 1 year ago
@TheKraiger A properly cared for sav can live 20 years. The problem is with owners getting them and then feeding them all the wrong things. The leading cause of death in captive savs is obesity.

Good video! It shows they are and can be tame. They are very smart and can learn not to attack. My sav will climb out of his cage, up my shirt and chill on my shoulder. He wwalks around my house with 2 dogs and three cats with out even the hint of aggressiveness or fear. I need to get some good vids up rather than just feeding time.

As someone who has always thought that reptiles were creepy, I have to say that yours are amazing. I never knew monitors could be so tame and loving. They seem as good of a pet as any cat or dog. I've been thinking about getting a new pet, but because of my allergies to any thing furry I thought that finding a loving pet would be impossible. Maybe I should look in to getting a monitor?
