So happy to see this we never get to see them from the egg newborn like that. They are so gorgeous actually the first one I ever saw a video on was yours. Your work with these beautiful misunderstood creatures does not go unnoticed Tom. Id be terrified. Only bit of advice i have is post closer to 9am when all the reptile guys post for the most part. Should help with views. Cant wait to see future content! 💙
I'm 45 and I first started keeping only non venomous snakes back when I was 20 year's old.. You where the first person I found out about.. Thank you for what you've done all these year's for the community.. You are the godfather ! And these people out here need to listen to you.. I grew up in the woods here in Tennessee in ponds, creeks lake's I've held many venomous snakes growing up as a kid.. I'm lucky I've never been bit.. But one thing I always knew was I never needed to keep any hots ! Because I'm naturally a nervous person.. And here in Tennessee we can't keep hots ..we can keep mildy venomous but that's it... Seeing all these youngin's keeping hots these day's I call them pet tubers most of them have no Damn clue what there getting into... With that being said I'm so glad to see you back posting and the knowledge you have will hopefully save one of these fool's lives... So please keep posting I know for sure you will save someone's life and maybe keep one of these fool's from just getting a hot snake thinking it's just the cool thing to do.. Can't wait for more post.. #godfather
That was so cool to learn why, in parthenogenesis births, they’re all males. It makes perfect sense to me now. This is why I love science and in particular, the scientific method so much. It’s the only method we have to date, that gets you to the truth. I wish more people were interested in science. It’s amazing and awe inspiring!! Thank you Tom, for putting out these videos! You have so much knowledge and it’s great that you pass it on. 🦎🦎❤️🦎🦎
Honestly just wish the videos were longer!!!!! Perhaps we could strap a GoPro to Mr. Crutchfield while he goes about his daily business and listen to his wisdom !!
Great video! I do like the way these monitors look, but since I was bitten by my Bluetail at 62 years old I have decided not to play with monitors and just stick with rock iguanas. Iguanas have a bad bite, but nothing like them bird eaters! Like your other commenters, I to am glad your making videos, I like hearing your opinion, and knowledge with reptiles. Thanks
@@DaveDurham good be careful I wanted to get a monitor to after I saw ur video I changed my mind lol. I will be just keep checking them on Tom crutchfield channel
@@caimankennel279 I found the Cayman Brac rock iguana to be more what I look for in a lizard, intelligence. Once I saw the superior intelligence shown by Cayman Bracs I had to see what their CB offspring would be like. I hope their keep advancing beyond my last captive born. As seen in this video "Iguana Breaks World Record on Intelligence" ( th-cam.com/video/QGB7028ProU/w-d-xo.html )
Tom I’m glad u made this video Bc all the croc videos are super old. I was about to start making one my self. So many ppl have these an they can’t keep them outside like we can. Since I have had mine I have talked prolly 20-30 ppl out of wanting one. CROCS AINT FOR EVERYONE! Ps I need ur daughter to shoot me a message so I can find those plants for my cage. I. We’d more greens lol
What beautiful animals I was just at NERD a few days ago looking to buy one of these lizards until I found out how big they get. I first have to prepare an inclosure so they have a home to grow into.
@@TomCrutchfield1 absolutely.....it drives me up a wall seeing animals in the wrong inclosure, Being over feed for views & living under a light bulb. 💡 You own a pet you better have an outside enclosure for that animal to get some sun, moon, I don't know some sort of Enrichment from out doors.
Not in the enclosures, but we have free standing Monstera all over the property. Almost all of the trees here are fruit producing plus several of the bushes - Monstera has a tasty fruit.
I think all reptiles are beautiful but I would never think of owning one. There is so much involved in caring for them. I enjoy the keepers reptiles and the knowledge they share and you especially Tom, your reptiles are healthy happy and thriving in the beautiful enclosures you keep them in. Thank you for sharing. 🙂❤
Tom I love these so much it is a life goal of mine and the journey of building the enclosure,,I have made blueprints for its enclosure,,I will just baby them ❤💙♥💕I love love these so much and yours are totally amazing specimens thank u for the crocodile monitors keep making more of em and more
the man the myth the legend i hear so much about from other big reptile youtubers making vids!! hell fing yess!!!.. please do vids regularly!!. some constructive criticism though need better quality with the camera and audio. the camera is good enough but the audio definitely needs improved. the other video from the other day i thought my speakers were broke i couldn't hear anything. hit up chandler or kenan im sure theyll share some recommendation they love you thats the only reason i know of you. or invest in a go pro or something.
We have a GoPro - we are about to have microphones and such - can't tell the volume isn't working correctly while I'm taking the videos. Thank you for the constructive criticism.
I would love to keep a pair of crocodile monitors but would never even consider it unless I lived in South Florida or somewhere with a comparable climate suitable for keeping them outdoors.
I have a question for the maker of this video (Tom Crutchfield). Here is my question: Who do you think would win a head to head one on one fight to the death between a fully grown Crocodile monitor lizard and a Eurasian lynx?Could you please explain your opinion by giving reasons for your answer? I await your reply.
To the maker of this video (Tom Crutchfield): Who do you think would win a head to head one on one fight between a fully grown Crocodile monitor lizard and a Eurasian lynx? What is your final verdict on this fight? I asked this question earlier but you did not answer my question. Could you please reply this time and give reasons for your answer?
@@TomCrutchfield1 Okay understand what you are saying. However, what if they actually somehow came in contact by means of persons putting them together in the same environment and they both encountered each other and had a fight?What if they were both put in a position in which they were both forced to fight to the death in a closely constructed cage with no place to escape from each other?Who in your opinion do you think would win the fight(Crocodile monitor lizard or Eurasian lynx)?Taking into consideration the strengths and weaknesses of both of these creatures who would you place your bet on?Could you please give reasons for your answer? Again, I await your reply.
@@beerthug This was not my intention. Someone asked me a question that I could not answer. Therefore, I thought it would be best to ask Tom Crutchfield who is an experienced in dealing with animals. And no i am not an fight promoter.
Magnificent animals. I really miss the availabilty of reptiles here in Costa Rica. I have a good population of what can only be called HYPO marine toads, light tan during the day and brilliant yellow-gold at night.
Such gorgeous creatures, but not for me thanks. I would only consider such a big lizard if i could keep them outdoors, but i live in Scotland so no chance! Whenever i see monitor eggs hatching i always think of that egg hatching scene from Jurassic park lol
U will get a donation from me for sure if I may donate to your cause,, plenty of them in fact I am so fascinated withis species I just wanna know everything about them before I get 2
Watching some of these channels where the animals are in tiny cages with barely to nothing in the way of natural environment is just beyond me, and I hate to say it but they’re all in the US. Why is that? Well it seems the US is perhaps the only country that is foolish enough to allow pretty much anyone to own pretty much anything. Here in Australia the laws are beyond tight. I can’t even own a rabbit in Qld!! (I get why and that’s fine). If only there were more people that understood how to keep their animals🥺 I can’t understand how people can sleep knowing they have hundreds and hundreds of drawers just filled with snakes or a cupboard size enclosure for a 16ft python! It’s just beyond cruel!
It's shameful - I post almost daily with memes and pics stating this. "friends don't let friends keep giant snakes in racks and vision cages" is one of the most common.
@@TomCrutchfield1 The bit that bothers me most about those cages (asides from them being an inexcusable alternative to the natural habitat the snakes should be in) is when people use paper as bedding purely because it is more convenient for the owners as it’s a quick change and shows where the mess is etc. If you’re keeping something in captivity, there should be no corners cut and absolutely under no circumstances should you be doing something to make your life easier at the expense of the animal that will be living in the space. Makes my blood boil. Okay, rant over, sending you all the good vibes from down here in sunny Brisbane. Stay safe Tom, best wishes, Amanda🤓👋
@@TomCrutchfield1 the snakes and lizards you been around at the time were wild and way b4 the deforestation of today they are dam near mythical and so were the people who sold you the snakes lizards and shit lol way b4 my time

Nothing but knowledge from this legend. keep the content coming were all gonna learn so much from Tom.
@@TomCrutchfield1 cool I look forward to it
I couldn’t agree more! So looking forward to it:)
I'm so glad you are doing videos again. You are a true legend
Always a pleasure watching and learning from you thank you for all you do for reptiles
I'm so pleased you have been on TH-cam more. I love the biology and lesson on genetics.
Listening to the roosters crowing reminds me of growing up with that sound. My father was a well known cockfighter. We had hundreds .
Excellent info as always Tom. Very happy y'all are doing more videos again, a true treat to learn from the best

Such beautiful, intelligent animals. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful video crocodile Monitors are my favorite monitor ever I have played with a few and they are no joke but wonderful animals so smart
Always enjoy your content, especially with the Croc monitors. Miss my Blue Tail so much, would love a croc some day.
That golden pothos is impressive, do you use Monstera in any of your outdoor enclousures?
Not in the enclosures, but we have free standing Monstera all over the property. Almost all of the trees here are fruit producing plus several of the bushes - Monstera has a tasty fruit.

Would u ever consider donating a blue tail monitor to the prodigal son ministry?
We'd love him
Magnificent animals. I really miss the availabilty of reptiles here in Costa Rica. I have a good population of what can only be called HYPO marine toads, light tan during the day and brilliant yellow-gold at night.
What beautiful monitors , it's cool to see how much lizard fits in an egg.
amazing !!
We're in conroe tx
Such gorgeous creatures, but not for me thanks. I would only consider such a big lizard if i could keep them outdoors, but i live in Scotland so no chance!
Whenever i see monitor eggs hatching i always think of that egg hatching scene from Jurassic park lol
They look like raptors coming out of the eggs!
You’re awesome
That god Dam rooster!!! LoL I wanted to hear about parthenogenesis
Clarence is sorry. He promises he won't be quiet next time either. lol.

That's our giant Cochin, Clarence. We have about 60 chickens, and they can only chase you if you run lol. None of our roos are mean.
