Double A should star in more of your videos. He's awesome. But whoever did the editing for this video has some practicing to do.

I just wanted to give a shout out for the guy in this video. His techniques in various monitor videos have REALLY helped me with my Nile. I attribute ALOT of my success to his techniques. Check out some of my videos of Buddy the Nile monitor to see how he turned out.

My husband and I have had a rescue Savannah monitor for about 3 months now and are working with her as much as we can doing whatever we can think of. Thank you thank you thank you for this video!!! She hasn’t tried to eat us since the first few days after we brought her home, but these are some amazing tips that we will definitely be implementing at Wright wreptiles!!!

ok so I tried the dirty sock thing with my nile monitor and you know what it did? it took my sock and put is in its water bowl then walked to the end of the tank.

I dont know how good that advice was dude said not to grab from the top as he grabs from the top

That's some really good info.

Aaron nice video. Thanks for the info.

“Don’t grab from top” -literally every cage is top opening 🤣

great video! Very informative!

Great info I’ll put it to the test with my Argus.

Great video!

great vid! very helpful!

This guy knows what he's talking about. I'm not super experienced but I'm a current Savannah Monitor owner, previous Nile Monitor and Colombian Tegu owner. Monitors are beautiful lizards that only need care, affection, and RESPECT.

Yeah the editing could be better but so what. Your point is well made and your technique is excellent. Nice work and thank you!

I've been looking for these kind of videos i just got my nile monitor and im reading a lot about the trust method. THANK YOU!

My monitor baby is blind, and won't eat unless I feed him with a syringe, so I have to hold him whenever he eats. However, he still acts afraid when I'm first picking him up, and sometimes tries to strike even though he should know my scent. I have tried feeding him with a spoon or leaving his food in a little bowl, but he won't eat that way.

what size tank would you recomend for a hatchling nile monitor

What size tank would I need for a baby blue tailed monitor?

I'm going to try this with my Timor, thanks for sharing!

the nile monitor I am taking care of right now is just alittle over a year old. would any of this stuff still work? and if so what should I feed him to make the asociation that im not a threat?

What was that food you used with the spoon?

Editing on point

in the video with Renaldo the savannah monitor what size cage was he in

AAAAAH THEY'RE SOOO CUTEE!!!

This is excellent. Very informative thank you very much for this video!

Does the Sock method work for red or yellow ackie monitors

What’s the monitor mush made out of

DO A CHINESE WATER DRAGON SET UP VIDEO PLEASEEE!! Thanksss

excellent info. tested and proven. (and straight from the book) also, babble - it reassures him that you have something else on your mind than eating him. also, as you offer the food, say some word or make some sound that he will learn means 'brekky!' in 3 days he'll be running to you when you call.

Do you guy have Any baby black and white tegus and can you make a setup vid 🙏 please

Logan McEwen Typically around around four to five feet, possibly a little larger, and they are stout and powerful. Like all large monitors, they need large enclosures, eat a ton, and can develop crazy feeding responses. Very cool lizards but not for everyone nor for novices.

Savannahs. Or slightly outside a monitor - get a Tegu. Argentine Black & White, and Argentine Red Tegus are one of the best bigger pet lizards you can find.

So this species grows faster than a dumeril's or yellow monitor. I'm just trying to make the right decision for my first varanid. I think they are all going to be challenging but I think argus is most like a nile. Is that correct? Or are argus monitor just hyper?

@666ILIKETURTLES666

9 жыл бұрын

CronusandRhea ZeusandHera Argus and nile are very intermediate monitor lizards and they are NOT a first monitor unless you know exactly what you are doing. Try a Timor or a couple ackies. Personally my first is going to be a Savvanah/Bosc monitor.

@CronusandRhea

9 жыл бұрын

Then maybe a Dumeril's, just as long as the total size is 4' or less; argus is 40% body and 60% tail. I really think you should not have a savannah for your first, they are very sensitive and get larger than an male argus. From all the readings I've done in BIAWAK scientific journals, George Sprackland's "Giant Lizards" and forum discussions; there really isn't a beginner level varanid. It's just a new person should avoid the really big species and the sensitive tree monitors. I've read how people mistake savannah's for being the safe alternative for new owners because they are cheap; nope. Savannah's are one of four African giants that require large eclosures, just like an Argus, and deep deep substrate.

CronusandRhea ZeusandHera a 4-5' carnivore that can potentially rip off all my fingers and or chunk from my body. Cheap? Yeah its maybe $20 to get one sure, but its going to eat that in a week or two easily. If you want an argus I can't stop you, but from what I've dealt with before they are pretty pissy and have moods sometimes, as with all lizards. Personally I think an Alligator is easier to care for than a monitor, but I don't feel like ending up with a 12' behemoth in my backyard. Dumeril's have always been sweet when I worked with them. Just get something you are passionate about. Your cage can probably be fine but when it starts to get a bit bigger than half of it I would upgrade it to a larger enclosure. Mine for My baby sav is about that size just taller by about 16 inches. It all depends, if you feed it a lot, then it will grow a lot (even very unhealthily fast) just look around and keep it on a slow growth diet, to ensure the muscles and tendons grow right and it doesn't get too big too quick. Again just get one you're passionate about, these things live a LONG time, I personally have a red tail and I expect it to live another 20 years easily. My adult enclosure for my sav is going to be the standard 8x4x4, and I'll keep it in a 10x10x5 in the summer outside, if not my yard which is like 40x50.

are your monitors fairly tamed?!

If you want a dwarf monitor, I suggest a Timor or Ackie monitor, but because some dwarf monitors come from Australia they are hard to obtain. A savannah monitor seems to be a good pet if you handle it a lot, but they need a large enclosure. What size are you looking for?

ConceptHaste please don't put monitors into fish tanks. They will die a sad slow death. They need more room than a 45 gallon.and more humidity than a fish tank can offer. There is a lot of bad information on the internet so please find a good source. Also, timor monitors are pretty lame pets. I can tell you from experience. I have one that i see twice a month at most. They are incredibly shy and if you build the enclosure correctly you will rarely see them.

I tryed both methods but my savannah monitor is still trying to bite me he is about 14 inches any tips on how to calm him down so I can pick him up?
