If, after watching this video, you're thinking "I love that it is incredibly beautiful and might bite pieces out of my hand, but I wish it was meaner than that and would bite the heck out of me everyday", then be sure not to miss our video on the most beautiful and terrifying gecko in the world, the tokay gecko: th-cam.com/video/KvnHz2RWTVw/w-d-xo.html
lol
Clint's Reptiles you absolutely HAVE to do a video on steppe runners there literally mini tegus and there like the best thing ever
Clint's Reptiles you absolutely HAVE to do a video on steppe runners there literally mini tegus and there like the best thing ever and one of the best underrated pet lizards on earth
Please do a video on box turtles
Clint's Reptiles I love the video but can you do a video on the closely related southern alligator lizard I have a pet southern alligator lizard her name is Ozzie we watch your videos all the time👍🏻
Well hi there! Today has been kind of a tough day for me. Nothing serious, just not a great day, and your kind comments have been such a breath of fresh air and source of encouragement. You have always been amazing and encouraged us to keep going and I just want to say thank you. I feel so blessed to have such incredible people in my life.
We love you 😀😀😀
I know that it will only get better from here and on out and it's only sometimes that it's hard but you gotta keep on going your the one that got me into the hobby and hopefully soon my leachie
Keep up the great videos. I'm jealous, being a reptile lover but not in a situation where I can properly care for one at this time. Soon tho.
You’re the reason a lot of us smiled today
You and your team are awesome. My family and I have seen every video at least once. I even catch my 4yr old saying "Well hi there" and "stinkin rad". A giant void was left in the animal/reptile loving community when Steve died. While I am not comparing you to Steve just yet, your level of passion and enthusiasm are on par. This channel is a breath of fresh air, and a much needed resource for the reptile community. Stay stinkin rad, we all love you!
They can't just fall to their deaths every day. That is not a good strategy. - Clint 2019
Duly noted.
I would love to see more "how to kill your pet reptile"-tutorials, because most guides only tell you what you should do, not what you shouldn’t.
Yes, super important !!!
Lol "beautiful at a distance, like my car" i died +1 like earned
The closer you get, the more you can tell that I don't have money for cars at the moment...
@@ClintsReptiles Hahaha. That's humor 1 on 1 👍🏻
I laughed out loud on this one
I wish that instead of just getting a notification when you upload, my phone would "Well hi there!" That would be stinkin rad. Awesome and informative, as always.
Oh, we need to press TH-cam and all major carriers for that setting!!
shotgunshane15 I need to get used to saying rad cause I watch Clint every time he posts and old videos daily.
Just set a custom notification tone for youtube. done.
❤
someone wanted to come first in the phonebook.
Stupid Aaron...
Gonna go ahead and add these guys to a list of good dragon drawing references 😂
Hahaha I thought I was the only one who did this, I also do it with gecko's makes the look super cute
Same
Get you a man who admires your beauty like Clint admires this gorgeous lizard.
Theres a phrase for the phenomenon of things looking worse the closer you get, its "good from afar, but far from good."
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Clint so amazed and excited to play with this gorgeous animal!!
They're aren't many animals THIS amazing.
I think he gets so charmingly exited almost every time he gets his hands on a new animal to review. That´s of course besides the animals who can mess you up real good when he´s trapped in that chair. (:
@@ClintsReptiles I just read that in your voice
He acted the same way with green tree monitors. Both amazing lizards.
Abronia graminea should be 5/5 in my opinion. Super easy to care for indoors. They like room temp. Great eaters. Super inquisitive, intelligent, and friendly if handled. A little tricky to breed in my experience BUT the fact they give birth to live lizards and nots eggs is awesome. Oh and the non dropping prehensile tail! Love it.
U breed these guys??? I've been looking for one for so long here at the expos in Oregon and no luck sadly 🥺
You still breed? Gimme
While watching him crawling around on the table, I couldn't help but start thinking "INTERIOR, CROCODILE, ALLIGATOR-" and now I can't stop laughing. These critters are awesome.
Clint: I think this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life.
Clint's Wife: *Clears throat*
Clint: 😱
Underrated comment right here 😂😂
Funny you used term "microhabitat". I'm just finishing my masters thesis on microhabitats ;) love your films, i'm plannig to get a snake, now i keep only few invertebrates. Keep up the good work. Viewer from Poland ;)
Please do more on Abronia, Clint! There is so little good information for them out there, and there are so many species besides the green abronia that are critically in danger and its so important to keep a captive breeding populations.
My dream is to have breeding colonies in outdoor enclosures for as many insurance colonies of as many abronia species as possible.
Excuse me my name is Tony I'm 29 and from boring Oregon. I'm currently getting into breeding small time and these guys are something I've been looking into for a very very long time! Alligator lizards, crocodile skinks, beaded lizards and plated lizards! Those guys are just the few of the ones I'd like to get into and more knowledge on. Anyway does anyone here know a breader for these guys??? I'm going to pnwrs in Hillsboro Oregon on the 14th and would luv to bring one of these guys home to breed and populate and get to understand there eating breeding and habitat behavior!!! But every time I go to an expo I never have any luck finding one 🥺
I would like a Smaug review on April 1 plz.
Surprisingly my Southern Alligator Lizard has never bit me. He's so chill 😂
Show a video
@@Jezidka ?
I like the way it stare-glares, like my cat when I'm magically supposed to know what she wants.
I've never wanted a high-quality sculpture of an animal quite so bad... It's just so beautiful.
Thank you guys so much for these videos. They've been extremely helpful as I've gotten into reptiles and thanks to ya'll, my Kenyan Sand Boa is happy, healthy, and turning one year old next month! Keep up the great work and the new audio quality is sublime.
I'm so happy you covered them! They are my favorite breed. I've been hoping you'd touch on them for a good while now. Certainly not disappointed. You're fantastic as always. :)
they look like tiny, real dragons. Aww
That is one beautiful lizard! Your car analogy had me cracking up... 😂
I love the knowledge and respect you show towards these animals.I never miss a video.Thank you for what you do.
Beautiful! Thank you Clint! I always learn so much watching your videos
Thank you so much. I'm so glad we have something good to share with you.
New dream pet! I've never seen an animal so beautiful
"There are some things that look more beautiful from a distance, like my car." Dunno if that was a flex but man got me dead.
I am glad to have such an in depth review on abronia. Thank you for your excellent content.
I would find it hard to believe someone who says that this lizard is not pretty. It´s insane how beautiful it is. WOW!
Yeah, that would show some questionable aesthetic judgement.
@@ClintsReptiles Indeed (: I was stunned beyond belief and was honestly shocked by its beauty in the close-ups.
Did you do something with the audio because it sounds way better for some reason. Maybe it’s because of my headphones.
One of my dream pets!
That is a good dream.
Clint, I just wanted to say thank you so much for posting such great content and being so passionate
I adore your channel, and this is my favorite video of yours because the way you’re just in awe and so excited about every animal, but especially this one and how super cool it looks, makes me so happy. I’ve never had pet reptiles, and I have only distant plans to get one once I have a reliable source of income, but I watch your channel all the time because it’s just the greatest thing to watch someone be so unashamedly thrilled with what they love. (And the lizards are so cool, I love all the lizards, especially the skinks)
Thank you for everything you do, Clint!
I absolutely love this channel. Found you from a fellow Reptile TH-camr. Your enthusiasm is infectious!
I go between these and ackies as my “summit” reptile. Both super cool little lizards. Ackies seem a little smarter and have more opportunities for enrichment but these Abronias are so beautiful and regal looking. I also love the slow and deliberate way they look around and move.
You have great taste in reasonable-ish dream lizards.
Clint's Reptiles thank you Clint! I love dogs too much to justify anything much bigger, as Tegus and the other big guys basically need a whole room, and I feel like a dog and a tegu in the same house is a recipe for disaster.
This video was EXACTLY what i needed!! Thank you!!
That is the most striking lizard you've showcased thus far. Thanks so much for posting!
YAY thanks Clint! I so love these lizards and maybe one day I will have one. I love your channel and the fact that you tell the whole story on the animal!
I love the shape of this little guy's head. Very dragon-like. Super adorable. Great video!
Wow such a gorgeous lizard! I love all the detailed close-ups you guys were able to get! I am just mesmerized!
I am now curious about what the rest of the room looks like. Maybe the next Patreon goal is enough space for Clint to escape from reptile attacks.
Finally, I’ve been waiting for this video and requesting it for so long, Thank you
Waiting for that rainbow boa and false water cobra video. 😁
Me too!
@@ClintsReptiles Knoxville TN repticon is this Saturday Sunday July 21. I've had my eye on both of these and bullsnakes. I'm ready for either, not sure what will catch my eye or be available.
Rainbow boa please
Clint's Reptiles yikes 😂
Dream animal, dream episode. Thank you for your services sir!
"They live up in the trees.. They can't just fall to their deaths every day - that's a bad strategy."
😂 that line just cracked me up for some reason
That was awesome Clint! I agree, that is a beautiful 🦎😀 Your enthusiasm is contagious! You might convince me yet to become a fan of lizards😃
Thinking these guys will be the next addition to my collection. Your videos are always a part of my pre purchase homework I do. Collections getting to around 70 heads and almost every new one I get, I check your review
I just recently purchased a pair of Abronia Graminea. They have been awesome so far. I love watching your videos, keep up the good work!
What a beautiful little armoured friend. Thank you for telling us about them.
Not sure how often you post... but you’ve already introduced me to a few of the non popular reptiles. The green tree monitor and this crocodile lizard. These things are absolutely beautiful!!!!!! Glad to see a few of the non regulars ! So cool!
I didn't know much about these amazing beauties! Thank you so much for the education like always! I just love this channel!
I love the colors on the under side too ! Just beautiful coloring, wow !
We are truly blessed that we get to share this world with such beautiful creatures. Like not even kidding, I actually gasped when I saw the absolute stunning coloration of its scales on the top of its body. What a cool lizard!🦎😎
Wonderful video as always, Clint. You're awesome at sharing the wealth of knowledge you have. Thanks as always for your work. 😁
After watching many of Clint's videos, I keep coming back to this one. I think I've seen it three or four times by now. I think the Abronia might be the best pet lizard for me!
What a beautiful lizard!!! and I'll be getting a California king snake tomorrow!!! 😁
Ben Jensen Awesome!! I love them!!
I can't believe that that's a real lizard! It looks like a drawing. Absolutely stunning!
This lizard is very beautiful! It looks like it was illustrated, with that incredible green, black and yellow colors.
I have been waiting for a video on these guys. Thanks so much!!!
Wow Clint. Great video as I'm going through all of them. Those cool flipping eye highlights make this one so dang gorgeous. And I'm getting lost in the macro on those scales. i got too many crested for now. thanx for the shows man.
I've never been so mesmerized by animals, especially a lizard!! I really like their scales, very nice detail and vibrant color
I've been waiting for this forever!!
Never seen such a magical looking animal!
Great video and keep it up you are my favourite TH-camr
Hey Clint! At about 9:15 or so into the video you're talking about proper UVB and reference the coil-type "CFL" bulbs. Per the manufacturers these only produce usable UVB for just a few inches and only directly under the bulb. I would only ever recommend the linear or "tube" fluorescent lights for UVB.
Love the video! I really value how you bring so many reptiles I'd never heard of to TH-cam.
I can see why you are excited about this little green guy, he is beautiful! GREAT VIDEOS you do and thank you for sharing.
That. Is a gorgeous animal. Seriously so nice to look at.
I couldn't agree more.
Definitely adding these guys to my wishlist. I’ve always loved them but his video has made me even more interested.
I've gotta watch this one again. That lizard...jaw dropping, and you guys with your fine camera work. The close up game is based, as they say. I recall the appreciate the close ups, personally.
What an incredible animal! Thanks for all your work on these. I've always wanted a reptile but it wasn't until I started watching your videos (almost every one in a week-long binge) that I'm now seriously gonna go for it. Probably going to get a corn snake first, I think they're gorgeous, and then I have a ton of options if I want a second one later on.
Another candidate for most dragonlike lizard: the earless monitor. They look like tiny Smaugs! Would love to see a video on them sometime if you can find one to film with!
What a beautiful little dragon. Will wait patiently for a mellow cbb. :)
Good choice!
Thank you so much for this review, I wasn’t sure if I wanted one since “not reccomended for beginners” was on every site I looked at, but your review eased up those worries. I think I might have to get one of these beautiful lizards 🦎
Amazing video as always, would love to see a video on Chinese/Hainan Cave Geckos since I've been looking at getting those
The quality of this video seems a lot better than before, well done!
Thank our patrons at Patreon. They are doing so much to help us improve the quality of this channel.
The macro footage is something I like about this show that I never seem to find elsewhere. It is a must for any reptile video, imo, unless you don't have the tech, then I understand.
I've been waiting for this one! :D
I saw these in a different video and loved em. Figured i had to check if you'd done a video about them. They are definately the new no. 1 placeholder on the 'reptiles i'd like to get someday' list. Love their behaviour, look and most importantly care requirments.
Finally they'll allow me to tell people i have alligators as pets ;-)
I love the enthusiasm! I’m thinking of possibly getting one of these beauties in the future. Such an amazing colour and pattern!
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!
What a beautiful little creature! I have kept pet alligator lizards local to where I live off and on over the years (and they were incredibly docile, but I have seen super aggro ones too), and find them to be incredible pets but don't keep them anymore as I want them to stay wild. I can see a lot of the same mannerisms on these guys, they just LOOK intelligent. Beautiful animals, I seriously hope they stick around and don't become endangered, that would be absolutely heartbreaking.
What an incredibly beautiful creature.
Yes! I've been waiting for this one!
I hope it was worth the wait.
@@ClintsReptiles It sure was! You never disappoint.
Now that you have this lizards in one of your videos you should probably do an Abronia Alligator Lizard vs Monkey Tail Skink
Yesssss!!!!!! You did the video thank you so much!!! You're the best not sure if you saw my comment on the last one but in glad you made this!!!!!
Wow I think that is the most beautiful lizard I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing your video on it.
Plz do another collab with Snake Discovery and rate egg-eating snakes!
Well be seeing her in a few weeks :)
They are stunning
Great video! One thing I’d like to mention is if you live in a dry and arid place like I do, glass tanks are recommended to hold humidity. Tall Exo Terra tanks provide great ventilation and maintain the high humidity levels these creatures need. Also, they drink TONS of water so be sure to mist a couple times a day
Wow! It looks painted. Beautiful animal.
Great video. Lots of information.
Wow, What an awesome lizard! Beautiful! TY
so cool! also a reptile room tour would be awesome! love your content :)
I always say Clint is a mix of Fred Rogers, Bill Nye and an eight year old on Christmas morning and that’s just so awesome!
First time I've ever heard of or seen one of these. Very beautiful!
YEEEES, my favorite lizard! The Abronia has been my dream lizard for years now.
What a beautiful lizard and great information as usual :)
Definitely is on my list of someday reptiles. Thanks for always showing us some amazingly RAD animals, and even more importantly always being very honest and explicit about their care and status in the wild and what that means for private keepers and purchasing them. I know with this new bill the hobby is in danger... but this information is so important to both the animal and the validity of the reptile hobby and the ***responsible*** keepers and breeders who are a part of it.
Gorgeous animal! I love the colouration on their scales!
