WATER MONITORS IN THE WILD! (are we keeping them correctly?) - Adventures in THAILAND (2020)
Asian water monitors or just water monitors, are one of the most popular pet monitor lizards, but how are they living in the wild? In this video, I venture out across Thailand from the jungles of the south, to urban areas like Bangkok to see how these amazing lizards are living in the wild so we better know how to care for them in our homes!

He'll get there soon. These things are usually non-linear, where years of hard work lays the groundwork for "suddenly" getting popular. His videos are certainly good enough to catch fire when the RU-vid recommendation algorithm finally figures out who all to recommend the videos too.

Get a mangrove monitor, 4ft is a big one, they're one of the smaller more manageable monitors that's ACTUALLY reasonable to keep. Ackie monitors are another small monitor species that most people can feasibly own without needing to build a GIANT enclosure for it. Don't give up on your monitor dreams!!

Lived in Thailand for 12 years .... in Thai the water monitor is called "Hia'" pronounced heeah, it is also one of the worst insults, curses to call someone "hia" ... will lead to violence. It is such a taboo to say that many people will not even call the lizards that, they will call it "dtua tong dtua neung". meaning body gold body silver, a reference to the yellow and white spot markings on the body, resembling coins. They also can be seen on some beaches hunting small crabs and looking for dead fish, they will swim in the sea also., the young ones are good tree climbers but the big adults stay on the ground or in water.

Nicely constructed, informative video. The biggest water monitor I've seen in the wild was about 7 feet long on Hong Island on the Andaman Sea off Krabi. With the park and tourist facilities on Hong Island, the monitors there probably fall between the urban and wild classifications it didn't run for cover. If we have them in Northwest Thailand, I haven't seen them.

I can’t believe how well humans and the monitors can co-exist like that. U cracked me up in the waterway market 😆😆 looked a little hairy there for a minute. Lol. These new videos have given herpers such great info for raising healthy and happy reptiles. You couldn’t get any better than going to the source of where they live in the wild. Lucky u!! If we all would cough up a little more $$ of support, I’d hope u could do more of these 👍🏻 I’ve had a blast watching all of them. I want MORE MORE MORE!!!!!! Love ya Dav!

I know cocohusk can keep humidity great in tubs but for a monitor needing a larger enclosure I feel a substrate that can compact a tad better would help more. I have small & large PVC & wooden enclosures for all my animals & found that cocohusk doesn't retain humidity that well alone. So I did a dirt ,soil, husk-coir/moss mix & it held humidity way better.

I wouldn't be worried about that. They aren't likely to attack a person unprovoked. I'm a responsible pet owner I would take the proper precautions to make sure my dog stayed safe, much like I do with the racoons in my area.

@mikelee5604 3 года назад

@swiggity swooty like I said, they aren't likely to attack a person. i never said they couldn't. There is tons of wildlife where I live and I have never had anything happen to any of my animals. I'm not saying it couldn't happen I'm just saying i have enough experience with wild animals that I wouldn't be overly concerned

@mikelee5604 3 года назад

@swiggity swooty Its ok that you would be afraid to have them in your area I'm sure a lot of people would, but I'm not one of them. There's no argument that you could make that will change my opinion on this.

@actionpants3138 3 года назад

swiggity swooty yes but you can say the same about any dog

@actionpants3138 3 года назад

swiggity swooty bruh chihuahuas can be aggressive as shit for one, they are far more prone to biting than most Asian water monitors, and second, you should be comparing the Asian water monitor to a dog which reaches a similar size, dogs that get around 50+ lbs on average, the Asian water monitor would hardly be a hassle to move around were it the size of a chihuahua
