The green tree monitor (Varanus prasinus), also known as the emerald tree monitor, is one of the most beautiful monitor lizards in the world. On top of that, it has one of the most inquisitive and fun personalities of any lizard. But do these incredible lizards make good pets? Is the green tree monitor the best pet lizard for you?

@zaccarter3801 4 года назад

kittyy champagne you’re pathetic if you think mansplaining is real. Sorry that people have to over explain things to you... I assure you it’s not because of genitalia. It’s most likely because you don’t quickly understand things and you are insecure about it. A woman does it to you would call her a bitch but a guy does it and you get to cry to your overtly feminist friends. You mentally put yourself in a win-win position because you are too lazy to advance through integrity so you use means of victimization. It’s okay. It’s a tactic that has been used by the weak since civilizations were put into hierarchical systems.

13:45 - Please, please, PLEASE make a video on this, explaining the importance of setting up for a reptile pet. The questions you have to ask yourself, and then answer, BEFORE bringing home a reptile. How to set up a basic enclosure and establish a thermal gradient. The importance of UVB light, and how quickly artificially-generated UVB degrades over distance. How to examine humidity within an enclosure, how that humidity will fluctuate throughout the course of the day and with the changing of the seasons, and how ventilation interacts with humidity and the problems it causes when it's improperly balanced. The takeaway would be to emphasize how when you keep a reptile pet, you control absolutely EVERY facet of their environment, and how you cannot possibly do that by bringing home a box of parts from the pet store on the same day that you bring home your new bearded dragon. An enclosure needs to be set up, examined, and tested with the target species in mind well before anything living is ever introduced into the equation. I'm a few months into researching a new project(which will be either a caiman lizard or a Dumeril's monitor, I'm still deciding). I am nearly to the point(but not quite) that I'm ready to start building the enclosure, which I'd like to have completed this spring, so that by next spring, it's ready for an inhabitant. I want to see exactly how the changing of seasons affects the humidity and ventilation and temperature gradient, because I want the environment to be completely known and understood before something living is required to spend the bulk of it's life in it.

@mackerelle9789 6 месяцев назад

I second this! I didn't realize how my shitty apartment didn't regulate temperature well with an AC on the bedroom that doesn't affect the living room much when I moved. Had to buy a 2nd acfor the living room window when the room one kept failing, and the landlord didn't want to replace it for another year.

I found if properly socialized at a young age tree monitors can be very friendly and enjoy hanging off you or climbing on you, they will however never really lose their hyperactivity. If you get them I suggest they be your only lizards or have scheduled feeding time. Raising them can be very rewarding and you form attachments to them real easy because they have lots of personality. They are precious fragile scaly Boys.

Like trying to find the best pet reptile, sometimes its tough finding the best pet reptile to film too. Your info helps a lot, thanks for the video! I've always been fascinated by Green Tree Monitors, I love the color green and its so beautiful on them. But I'm not confident enough yet to own a lizard, I only have pet snakes because I'm not sure if I can care for a lizard yet. Also I have snakes because they are amazing and I think I love them more than a lizard lol.

A lot of choosing which videos to film comes down to finding the right animals to film. This one is a dandy. Captive bred!!!

@IrieRogue 4 года назад

I felt this way as well, but once I got a lizard, I realized it's a completely different relationship. Much more care requirements, and they need more interaction and affection. I came to find that I actually enjoyed keeping lizards even more, which I didnt think was possible. Once I got my tegu Pubba, all question in my mind disappeared. Snakes and lizards are def my two fav animals of all time.

@Osprey1994 4 года назад

@@IrieRogue Pubba what a name 🤣 I love it. Honestly with school and other things I do snakes are ideal. But I think the third was a mistake, and I should have stopped at 2 and staggered their feeding so that I could interact with at least one of them. The big girl is a good mix and I got her eating like a champ so she should find a good home but I won't subject her to shipping again. Took a year for her to take food after I got her which was insane but she didn't lose weight and is a chunky monkey still (she's been eating for now than a year so I would hope).

Yes! I was so hoping you would cover Green Tree Monitors! They might be my favorite lizards, and definitely a dream pet someday.

I know they don’t make very good pets, but I would love to see you cover lizard species from the Uroplatus and Hydrosaurus genera. Also, perhaps you could cover the Brazilian Rainbow Boa, and the Boelen’s python. I’m a bit of a sucker for iridescent animals. Keep up the good work Clint and friends! I love your channel so much!

Great video Clint, as a lifelong herper it drives me mad how many herpers still are happy to buy wild caught animals over captive bred. If we love reptiles we should be doing everything we can to preserve them in the wild and not taking them from it just to increase our own "collections". Prasinus are one of the absolute jewels of the reptile world.

@varanidguy 4 года назад

CBB tree monitors can make great pets, I would only get WC animals with the goal of breeding. The reality is these animals aren't going to be out of the pet industry, so if more people can breed them in captivity, maybe it can take pressure off wild populations. Plus CBB animals are acclimated to people and captivity from day one, making them much easier to care for and handle, as highlighted in this video.

@billysmith5409 4 года назад

Clint I’ve noticed a running theme with your Best pet videos. With the more difficult to care for species anyone who is ready for them will probably already know that and may actually already have the animal which is a very good thing. I’ve watched a number of these videos and they’re all just stinkin’ rad. I love the fact that you don’t sugarcoat anything you’re a straight shooter. You give both the pros and the cons.

@ryantwilliams 4 года назад

I've also been waiting for a collared lizard video for a while. I bought a pair of CB babies over the summer and I LOVE them. I used to keep ackies and a gillens monitor and they remind me of them in a lot of ways - bold, active, intelligent, and inquisitive with a high metabolism, but they seem to crave some social interaction and are pretty content to just hang out with/on you outside their enclosure. My only complaint is mine have been burrowing down and trying to brumate since September, regardless of the temperature I keep them at. I don't really have the setup to cool them properly and it's been bumming me out to see so little of them. That said they're amazing little pet lizards and I can't believe they aren't more popular. And some of the Eastern localities are absolutely stunning, easily some of the prettiest lizards in the world. As far as care, I keep mine in basically a slightly scaled down ackie setup, with a hot basking spot, relatively deep substrate, and LOTS of insects and repashy grub pie. Pretty easy once you have everything set up. Good luck!

Regarding monitors other than Ackies enjoyable handling for you and the animal being comfortable just isn’t really something achievable, really it’s interacting with the animal.

Very cool video, green tree monitors are absolutely gorgeous. It's too bad that they make such poor pets. One thing that you really should have mentioned in the video was just how much bigger they get. Saying a lot bigger is kind of vague, you should have given either measurements or mentioned what other monitors it's closest in size to as an adult. This would give people a much better idea of just how large they can end up getting and would go further in helping anybody dedicated enough to consider one of these animals to decide if it's right for them.

I really dislike how exotic animals are prohibited in Brazil, and even the national reptiles (Tegus and boas) need to be acquired from government-approved breeders (that are extremely hard to find and enter in contact and are a very expensive). Anything other than a dog/cat or farm animal and it's pretty much easier to just move to another country

Hi Clint! Thanks so much for these videos! They've really helped me understand what I was signing up for when i decided to get my pet Peach Throat monitor. I had had a green Iguana in the 1980s when I was a kid- that I raised until he got over 20 years old and over six feet long. I always thought he was a "reasonable" pet until I saw your video! Then I realized that the work I had to do with him and the enclosure I had to make for him- and figuring out how to keep him hot and humid especially back then was truly a lot of hard work! So- even though I'm not a kid anymore I figured I could handle a monitor! My question for you is regarding humidity. Back when I had my Iguana lots of folks were having their iguanas die because of lack of humidity. What I did was set up some tall tuperware containers that I'd fill with water and place fish tank heaters inside of them. My Iguana loved to sleep on them and hang out there- and he always was super healthy and humdity seemed great. Following your advice- I bought everything I needed for my peach throat- including a mister. Is there any reason I shouldn't use my fish tank heater trick from 30 years ago on my new pal? I live in San Diego and no matter what I do- it's tough to make Xerxes' container super humid all the time. Also can you please do a video on Peach Throats? I don't see much information on them!

Kinda had a similar thought process when I saw his cat video. He rated them lower than I expected on handleability, and then I thought it through and realized that while cats are wonderful, you really do need to read their body language well or they will lash out. I just think of it as normal because I've had cats my whole life.

Thank you for this video! Lots of people have asked me why my baby monitors are so expensive compared to others, and it’s because I have CBB. Thank you for making this to explain why the fact they wild caught are so bad for these animals because it gives them a bad rep.

I love tree monitors my dream reptile but I hard to find them where I live and if I where to get one I would get a baby so that a bit more difficult

@dyanaterranova609 3 года назад

for the next video can you do a Mata mata, best pet turtle? or a borneo earless monitor, best pet lizard?

as a jeweled lacerta owner i am going to say jeweled lacertas are better looking, definitely bias but still

@LadyJ_88 4 года назад

What the?!... did that lizard just bite the face of a being 100x it's size for no apparent reason?? The nerve! Lol I guess Clint can add this little stinker to the bite list. A list that's doubled since I started watching months ago 😂 Gotta admire the love & dedication ♡

Who would’ve thought that only 9 months after releasing this video you’d have your own Greenie Miracle of your own my friend? Congrats on the stupendous lizard and hopefully no more rescue missions!

This video is great, thanks Clint. I'm so happy I waited and got a CB baby. Mine ate crickets right out of my hand the first day I recieved her. I watch videos were people open the glass to their enclosure and the lizard flees for its life. So worth the extra time and money to get a CB baby from a good breeder. Quick tip if your getting one. Get them eating raw eggs with the shell crushed up in a bowl. Mine was a very picky eater at first, wouldnt even look at a dubia roach. But she would eat anything if its dipped in egg. After a few dubias dipped in egg, she was eating them greedily without the egg!

Ok you win ill get an Ackie lol i will own a water monitor one day but i estimate that to be 5yrs away and thats if i start preparing now my retics are wonderful because i waited to get into them. Research and hanging out with my friends animals helped me so much

@ClintsReptiles 4 года назад

I love the snake like tongue monitors have, so curious and exploratory. I probably will never have one but they are amazing reptiles.

@airtylerb 3 года назад

I will argue that tree monitors are some of the best monitors that you can keep in captivity. They don’t get crazy big, they can be very manageable, care isn’t insane, and the enclosures aren’t crazy to set up either.

I could have gone my whole life without seeing this video and I probably would have never thought of getting one. But now I want one. Just went scrolling through Instagram looking at pics and videos about these guys. They're just too cool. So they're going on my pipedream list of reptiles that I will always dream about, but probably will never get. Right next to the sailfin dragon.

@whitneyphillips2527 4 года назад

Amazing! I have had my Ackie for over a year now and I'm dying for more monitors!! I just heard of the kimberly rock monitor and I'm in LOVE! But I cant find a huge amount of info on them and it seems that most breeders are in the UK. And if there breeders in the US I'm gonna pay out the butt to get one. :( I even messaged Animal Ark since you get so many of your reptiles to show from there. I figured they might know something about them. Maybe you guys could do a video on them and fall in love with them too. :)

@taeviansworldofreptiles3828 4 года назад

Those are really stunning monitors and definitely not something I would even be ready for. I'll stick to my snakes lol

@thomashamilton2761 3 года назад

Bro no offense but u just compared tree monitors to chameleons on hardness own both and my blue and yellow tree monitors never gave me issue in years and chameleons are nothing but a vet bill
