Clint was very brave to have gotten that close to a fabled Deathclaw with no fear whatsoever, let alone handling it with such a demeanor. He has earned my respect
Today’s favorite line BY FAR: “If you lose track of a chameleon while handling it, handling reptiles isn’t for you.” Great video, as always. I appreciate you! Also, episode request for UROMASTYX, please!
How tf do you not have 1m subs? You've helpped me so much in deciding what reptiles to get and info breeders dont inform customers often. Dont stop being awesome
Seriously this channel is under rated! Your videos are great and have really helped me and a lot of other people figure out witch reptile is best for them :)
Have been housing my two veiled chameleons outside in southern California for about three years now. Oh ya and they're my first reptile pets ever. Love them
Very cool lizard! I would love to have one but to advanced for me at the moment. The name made me think about what you said about things being named after obvious traits in Latin. It should be Mitta Manibus Arbor Triceratops or something like that.
I've never owned a reptile before and I got a Jackson chameleon and he is now a year old :) but I am still learning and this is why I'm here to keep on learning :)
Awesome video as always. I’ve had many snakes, but never considered lizards until watching your videos. Your enthusiasm is positively contagious. Now I want a stinkin’ rad lizard! Thank you for making the videos on the best pet reptiles. I hope more people take the time to do research on potential pets before buying them, especially exotics. Not every animal is right for every person. If I ever win the lottery, I’d love to build a greenhouse room with high humidity and keep chameleons in there. I’d have enough to pay someone to care for them when we travel, and could go hang out in the greenhouse with flowers and chameleons to look at. Given that we have to run a central humidifier to keep our house over 15% in the winter (even with that it’s only 35%), chameleons aren’t an option. I’m hoping to get an Australian blue tongue skink from one of the breeders when baby season comes around. Indonesians need high humidity that’s too difficult to maintain in our region. So thanks for making me want an awesome lizard, and renewing my lifelong enthusiasm for reptiles!
I’ve owned many pets but never a reptile. In my research, I came across your channel and it’s very good. Chameleons are what I was initially drawn to. Love the channel 💪
So glad I found you through Snake Discovery, another amazing you-tuber! I love chameleons but I know I am defiantly not ready to care for one. Though a dream pet of mine would be western hognose snakes they are just amazing a adorable noodles! 💕
I found it! A Clint video about Jacksons! These are hands down my fave chameleon and the only one I'd ever want (unless there are tiny blue chameleons that will hang out with you all day then I'd want that one, but out of chameleons that actually exist, this one). My parents had a pair in the 70s... they were told not to worry about them breeding because it was soooo hard to breed them in captivity, then of course the female had a bunch of babies that they couldn't find out how to care for and ended up having to go to a university to get fruit flies. They kept them in a spare room where the lil guys spent half the time on the big houseplant and the other half on the curtain rods. The male's name was Puff, like the magic dragon. XD
I used to have one I had named Sera, she was the best for the longest time despite bad breeding she had complications which is why I chose her, I wanted to give her a chance at life. But, she was happy all the time, green, no skin on her toes, she was gorgeous! But, as time progressed she had gotten worse and she gave her last breath in my arms. Hehe, I remember I buried her in an old Aliens Versus Predator box I had, she always reminded me of the Xenomorph with that tongue! Anyways, I had her for around three years and she was precious.
My favorite channel! In the far future, I'm getting a chameleon. Just not fully prepared for one at the moment. I have my hands full with all my other scaly friends 🐢🦎🐉
Love those lizards, I had a female Jackson's Chameleon that escaped from me when hanging out on a shrub while I was washing my car... A year later, I found it in our yard. It survived the Northern California winter... Back inside, where I kept it on a ficus benjamina (no cage) for a few more happy years until she died of what I would say was cancer.
I had a pair of Yellow Crested Jacksons about 3 decades ago. They were always one of my favorites, and that species was about the only one available at the time. Fast forward to today. Just finishing setting up a new 4x4x2 habitat for a pair of Rainbow Jacksons. There is a divider preventing them from seeing each other. In the Rainbow species both the male and female have horns. This species really needs a lower temp setup with a thorough nightly misting, so cage requirements are on the complex side.
The first minute & 45 seconds is exactly how I feel about chameleons😍😍😍 They are the coolest 😎 animals ever. I had them when I was young, I have them now that I'm 30 years old & I still think they are the coolest little things that exist! 🐉💚
These chameleons are so wonderfully weird. I wouldn't even mind not being to hold them, they're fascinating enough to just watch! Another awesome video Clint!
Could you imagine if Deathclaws (heavily genetically modified Jackson's Chameleon) kept the shooting tongue? Fallout would have a whole new level of terror
Chameleons really are so freakin cool. I have a veiled and I love him. Yes they have very specific needs, but if you're committed you can do it. Once you get the setup and the routine down its really not bad at all. Definitely do lots of research and have their home all set up and perfected before you bring them home. Clint says fake plants can work, but its a huge risk. Jacksons are less prone to snacking on plants, but there is always a chance they might get the inclination to snack on some leaves. If that happens with a fake plant theres a great chance it will cost them their life. So real plants are the way to go. They also give them a more naturalistic environment and just look better overall.
Not an uplifting subject, but any chance you can do a video on MBD? I feel like this is sadly a common pitfall to new reptile owners and so easily prevented with infromation
Just to share my favorite Cham enrichment was to put them in their outdoor enclosure with shade and some direct sun light, and put a bowl of old fruit in the enclosure to attract bugs. They loved that!! Also, I use them as a "fly Swatter"
I would LOVE for you to do a video on the pygmy chameleon and other mini species of chameleon. I know this channel is more for people considering pets and they aren’t common pets but they’re so interesting.
This was my first pet reptile! Not a good one for first timers. It was more like taking care of a grumpy old man then anything. He also had a double horn on his nose, for 4 horns total!
I like how that’s the cheapest chameleon on the market yet it’s the coolest looking one. The channel “the dark den” has, in my opinion, a really smart chameleon enclosure. It’s basically a tree in his house with a small barrier at the bottom of the floor so it doesn’t try to escape. Since chameleons like living in trees, his never leaves its tree. I don’t know if he is taking the best care of his chameleon but he always says that you should never have a pet if you won’t give your pet the best life possible so I’d say he does a good job.
@@ClintsReptiles hmmm, make sure to research the plants they put in the enclosure so they aren't toxic. Make sure that the climbing branches are different sizes so their toes get adequate exercise. And make sure they have a few hiding spaces in their enclosure so they can escape from stress.
Automation really helps out with these guys, MistKing, get all your lights on timers (I prefer Wi-Fi plugs with dimmers for their basking to make for easy adjustments) and lots of natural plants. My Panthers really only require that I feed them daily, everything else is automated. I also have to water their plants...which I'm rather bad at so they may have a few dying plants in there lol.

Sadly I’ll have to rearrange my apartment before I can get anything since they seem like they need a bit of room, but I wanted to let you know that you are responsible for letting me fall into this wonderful rabbit hole.
I have always been intrigued by Jackson's chameleons, but I saw a baby veiled chameleon at Petco, and felt bad for him. Almost been a year now and he is getting' huge!
My friend had a Jackson's Chameleon... he liked to climb her hair, and mine was slightly similar so first thing that happened when we were introduced was he reached for my hair... from my perspective it was those little mitten hands moving slow-mo towards my face. Almost intimidating, except it's a chameleon.

It sure made Jason laugh :)
I scrolled down and read this just as he was saying it.
Chameleon.. is my blending ability a joke to you?
I’d be afraid it’d get away and camouflage itself in my house lol
“They’re very active” shows the chameleon walking in slow-motion.
I didn't say fast :)
And that wasn't slow motion.
Clint's Reptiles He probably meant that it was walking really slow, not real slow motion hahah.
@@ClintsReptiles My little sis used to have a pregnant Jackson chameleon, she ran *fast.*
Clint was very brave to have gotten that close to a fabled Deathclaw with no fear whatsoever, let alone handling it with such a demeanor. He has earned my respect
Underrated
💀
XD
lol Deathclaw was also one of my first Thoughts when I saw that he made a Video about those
They really need to revise that name. How cool would it be to own a mitten handed tree triceratops? 😂
A mitten handed treeceratops?
Mitten handed rhino spider lizard
Three-horned crosseyed lethargic tree ninja.
I own one
Tri-horned crazy eyed tree pancake
Today’s favorite line BY FAR: “If you lose track of a chameleon while handling it, handling reptiles isn’t for you.”
Great video, as always. I appreciate you! Also, episode request for UROMASTYX, please!
It sure made Jason laugh :)
Here's that uro video for you: th-cam.com/video/OA7sqgVP7K4/w-d-xo.html
Regular chameleon: i can change colors
Jackson's chameleon: war, war never changes
I get it
Im stealing its eggs and i hope i wont DIE
My Saturdays are no longer complete without viewing your stinking rad videos.
We intend to keep your Saturdays complete for a long time :)
YES!
I refuse to get any reptiles that Clint doesn’t have any videos on
Sorry, I usually forget my periods.
Crested Gecko Guy On TH-cam, that doesn’t really matter. As long as you spell things right. If you don’t, people act like a bi**h.
There are no stars in the word birth, you silly goose. Spell it right!!!
Clint's Reptiles Actually they’re called “asterisks”
You're an asterisk!!!
jackson’s chameleon: hum ho, I will eat bug, crawl around branches, life is good
triceratops: *gores another dinosaur just because*
If i was the one naming the species i'd name it Tricerazard or at least Tricera Chameleon.
Tricerameleon
What about johnald?
How tf do you not have 1m subs? You've helpped me so much in deciding what reptiles to get and info breeders dont inform customers often. Dont stop being awesome
Wow what better to wake up to on a Saturday morning then another "The best pet lizard?" Video!
You> "Pettubers"
You're extremely underrated. Best reptile channel. I'm so lucky I stumbled across one of your videos last year. #allhailcrestedgeckos
How are you always so happy and excited? It's adorable
Bryce Mattson it’s probably not that hard when you’re around such awesome reptiles all the time!
Great way to start a rainy Saturday morning with a new video from Clint's reptiles! Still has that new reptile smell...
Kinda looks like Liz from “The Magic School Bus”. 😂
Not a coincidence :)
Yeah, Liz was basically a hybrid between a jackson's chameleon and an iguana.
Seriously this channel is under rated! Your videos are great and have really helped me and a lot of other people figure out witch reptile is best for them :)
what's a witch reptile? I didn't know reptiles dabbled in the dark arts haha.
Have been housing my two veiled chameleons outside in southern California for about three years now. Oh ya and they're my first reptile pets ever. Love them
Your enthusiasm and energy is infectious.
Also would love to see you do a video about the Leachianus.
Thank you! Here you go then: th-cam.com/video/UYvDWXRg9RY/w-d-xo.html
That's a pretty cool deathclaw you've got there.
Carpe Noctem thank goodness somebody made the reference. I was about to be very disappointed in the fallout + reptile hobbyist community. :)
YESSSSS, I am not alone
Hello
:)
As a person in Hawaii that just caught one in my backyard I’ve been looking for these kind of videos. Thanks!
Cool, must be awesome to be able to just catch one and help the Environment that Way. I hope it is/was doing fine😊
Clint i think ur going crazy I didint see any chamelon
Oh dear. I knew this would happen eventually...
Very cool lizard! I would love to have one but to advanced for me at the moment. The name made me think about what you said about things being named after obvious traits in Latin. It should be Mitta Manibus Arbor Triceratops or something like that.
Love it!
I’m so proud of you. You complemented him rather than saying first like most people even though you actually where the first comment!
Jackson Chameleon: wow I'm hidden in trees
triceratops: aaaaaaaa t-rex i can,t run!!
I wish I had your passion for everything! You're like a fusion of Mr.Rogers and Steve Irwin
Another stinking rad video, on a stinking rad reptile 😊❤️ thanks Clint
You're very welcome :)
This is currently my favourite channel in existence
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass...and I'm all out of bubblegum."

Best reptile channel period. Nobody else is giving you such good information and advice. He has no skin in the game so his words are always honest.
His tail looks like a fern before it unfurls! They're so dang cool!

Clint's energy and love for animals is really infectious.
Haha! I felt like I was in a kindergarten class for the first minute and 45 seconds! You're enthusiasm is awesome! Gotta love it!
Hey Clint I got a uromastyx it was one of my dream lizards the minute I saw it he is named thorn after his tail
Edit: he is amazing and friendly
That is a great name!
Best name for any animal ever!!!!
They really missed a golden opportunity.
That's actually my name
i’m so happy i started binge watching your videos. they are so fun to watch and see how excited you are in every one of your videos

When you realize they can turn into deathclaws when exposed to radiation.
Tiny deathclaws! This species is on my want list but like you I am just not quite ready for the care commitment.
They are a big deal that is worth it if you can swing it :)
Thanks a lot for making this video because I was considering getting one yesterday and this helped a lot!
Clint,I have been thinking: reptiles that life in jungles are harder to keep than reptiles that life in deserts. It that true?
Omg the mitten hands are soooooo cute! Great video thanks!
Clint you’re lowkey the realest and the best reptile youtuber!!!
Thank you so much!
These chameleons are so wonderfully weird. I wouldn't even mind not being to hold them, they're fascinating enough to just watch! Another awesome video Clint!

Got these all over my yard. Coolest thing we got in Hawaii.
I’m getting a chameleon today no joke
How’s it doing now
I love that - "I'm here today with a mitten-handed tree triceratops."
Mitten-handed tree triceratops - This is the best name I have ever heard for this chameleon!
Apparently another cool thing about them is that both their eyes are capable of depth perception independently
I'd like one but I don't think I'd have the time right now so I'll stick to admiring them on the internet lol.
You and me both :)
I've had a few Jackson's, and veiled, your mostly right .
One of my favorite little things about chameleons is their tongue-bone.
Love it! Been researching the last 6 months on Jackson's, gorgeous crazy amazing looking lizard.
I'm extremely mad extremely extremely mad that you don't have 1 million subscribers
Can you make a video on buying reptiles online ?
Yes, that's a good idea!
Please do!
@@samkeey8723 That is a good idea.
Love the video Clint! Your video are SSSOOO GOOD
Thank you so much! I hope you are finding them useful :)
I am definitely finding it useful but sadly I can’t have another pet because I already own 2 hamsters but your videos are extremely entertaining 🤗
This was my first pet reptile! Not a good one for first timers. It was more like taking care of a grumpy old man then anything.
He also had a double horn on his nose, for 4 horns total!
I used to go to the reptile shop in Utah all the time. It used to be in SLC.

This is what a Deathclaw is based on, let that sink in.
Gotta agree with you there. The Jackson's chameleon actually does look like a miniature triceratops.
You know I kind of like them better this way rather than Giant Irradiated Vicious versions of them trying to brutally rip me to shreds
I love Jackson's Chameleons! 😍😍😍😍💚💚💚 Thank you for doing a video on them. Been researching them for a while.
Do you have any additional advice for others that are considering one?
@@ClintsReptiles hmmm, make sure to research the plants they put in the enclosure so they aren't toxic. Make sure that the climbing branches are different sizes so their toes get adequate exercise. And make sure they have a few hiding spaces in their enclosure so they can escape from stress.
I just purchased a baby Jackson's from Animal Ark in Orem!
Automation really helps out with these guys, MistKing, get all your lights on timers (I prefer Wi-Fi plugs with dimmers for their basking to make for easy adjustments) and lots of natural plants. My Panthers really only require that I feed them daily, everything else is automated. I also have to water their plants...which I'm rather bad at so they may have a few dying plants in there lol.
Such an awesome animal. Looks very grumpy but he’s just so cool.
And so much less grumpy than most chameleons.
Love your enthusiasm
i want to know how this became a deathclaw
I absolutely love these videos. Recently we had a large reptile expo in my town, and I feel like you were one of the main motivators for me to go to it.
Anyways, they had a guy who breeds Amazon Tree Boas there and it took a lot of willpower not to walk out of there right then and there with one. They were adorable, if a bit strike happy, and I love the idea of a more involved enclosure than what my wife’s Nelson’s milk snake has. Sadly I’ll have to rearrange my apartment before I can get anything since they seem like they need a bit of room, but I wanted to let you know that you are responsible for letting me fall into this wonderful rabbit hole.
This video has the single best blooper I think I’ve seen on this channel XD
The animal looks so beautiful
I have always been intrigued by Jackson's chameleons, but I saw a baby veiled chameleon at Petco, and felt bad for him. Almost been a year now and he is getting' huge!
Completely off topic but have you seen Fantastic Beasts?
You remind me so much of Newt scamander and I think that's friggin adorable!
My friend had a Jackson's Chameleon... he liked to climb her hair, and mine was slightly similar so first thing that happened when we were introduced was he reached for my hair... from my perspective it was those little mitten hands moving slow-mo towards my face. Almost intimidating, except it's a chameleon.
2 jackson's chameleons fighting would look like 2 triceratops fighting, but in slow motion (or slower).
Baby dinosaur!!!!! How friggen adorable
At the most How often should I take it out and for how long? I might get one and I want to be sure they are the right for me
"I wish it had scarred because that would have been the most ridiculous scar."
They’re grumpy, anti-social and they hate their own reflection? I see I’ve found my spirit animal.
How does this guy not have his own show like the crocodile Hunter had this guy is amazing
