Crocodile Monitor, The Best Pet Lizard?

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

The crocodile monitor (Varanus salvadorii) is an absolutely legendary lizard. It deserves that status. It might be the most hardcore lizard that exists today. The Komodo dragon might be its only real competition. Amazingly, you could get one for a pet. But should you? Is the crocodile monitor a good pet? Is it the best pet lizard for you?

    I had the good fortune of getting to interact with a truly incredible adult female crocodile monitor named Whisper. She was a rescue and quite old--and on a diet!--but she was incredibly smart, alert, and even sociable. Some of the people who worked with her were able to pick her up and hold her against the shoulder like you hold a small child, and she wouldn't display any defensive behavior at all! Not to mention that she would frequently come to the edge of her enclosure and watch what people around her were doing. She sadly passed away due to cancer after I'd known her for a year to a year-and-a-half, but she's an unforgettable animal. I know, objectively, that she had the capability to be very dangerous in an instant, but as far as I know she never made anyone feel threatened. Rest in peace Whisper. I'm so glad I got to know you.

I figured that because of my experience with my other monitors (an Argus, blackthroat, and pair of Blue Tree monitors) I could handle at least one, but the way you broke this down made the answer clear. Love your videos and straightforward breakdown of these animals for dummies like me with money brains and soft thinky thinky parts, thanks for the content for people like me who consider these massive, exotic animals.

    The croc-monitor lizard that Mr T. Crutchfield played with; is called Bernie. His smarter than most dogs and he's an apprentice of maths by being able to do basic calculus of subtraction and addition. When Bernie stared at Clint there; it was just calculating how many frozen chicks there were still in that recipient. The thing is that Bernie can count how many fingers one has, as well.

    Even though the Komodo Dragons teeth looks less impressive, it’s purpose is different of that of the Croc Monitors which is to hold fast moving prey and tear it into pieces. Also the skulls of Komodos vary. Some Komodos have smaller teeth while others have more larger teeth. It depends on the age and size of the Komodo and what island it came from (ones from Komodo & Rinca island tend to have the biggest skulls and teeth compared to the ones on the 2 Gilis and Flores).

    I just watched your video about rodent feeders and it made me curious about a pet rat. Particularly you were talking about the difference between a rat and a mouse and they're really quite different animals. Rats pretty smart and they're all so even trainable. Now I know you've talked about mammals before. Maybe you could talk about a pet rat but I understand if you don't because it's easier to feed him to reptiles if you don't see them as a pet.

And yes, please do the 'Is a cat the best pet?' you mentioned in your live feed. I'd suggest showing some morphs: Abyssinian, Bengal, plush panda-like Exotic shorthair, Sphinx, and of course a Lykoi (werewolf cat).

    Really great video as always ! I know it's a bit out of what you usually do, and that you did a head-to-head with kind of the same idea in mind a while back, but would love to see a vid dedicated to dogs on the channel ; it would really help to put into perspective how difficult it is to actually properly care for one, and how some reptiles could be a better choice in comparison ! When I was younger, my mom wouldn't let me have a snake because she thought it was gonna be a real hassle to care for, even though we had three dogs, but once in she saw how easy it was to take care of my corn snake, she completely changed her mind about it. I think it could be a really helpfull and interesting video ! Anyway, hope to see that Komodo dragon vid soon, still waiting for that sub 0.5/5 overall score
