Be careful guys! Basilisk are historicaly known for turning people to stone! Clint is unaffected because true love breaks the spell and Clint truly loves every reptile he touches
No, no, see, that's the beauty of it. The selective pressure of this scenario is intended to help us all realize that running on water is just a matter of motivation.
Also as someone who has done a rescue for an improperly cared for basilisk. It is very difficult to bring them back to health once they run into issues. Thank you for making it clear to people that they need a lot of space and high humidity.
"This is a lizard that is nervous and can move very quickly" - shows the basilisk upper body swinging at mach speed left and right, and then just exploding in 30 movements per second from every body part despite being held.
Toward the beginning of the book “Jurassic Park,” there’s a girl bitten by a procompsognathus (small dinosaur), and a local biologist initially assumes based on the child’s description of a bipedal lizard that it was a basilisk. While the scene of the girl being attacked wasn’t used in the movie “Jurassic Park” (arguably a very reasonable omission to streamline the plot), it was later used as the opening scene for the movie “The Lost World: Jurassic Park.” As an aside, it’s interesting to think that, given there’s at least a reasonable possibility that these dinosaurs may very well have been feathered, in the hypothetical “Jurassic Park” scenario where they were brought back to life today, a young girl describing the creature might possibly describe it as an exceptionally strange bird, rather than a bizarre lizard.
The photo of that Green Basilisk, in the wild, is truly breath taking, thanks for sharing that. Thank you Clint and Matt for this well put together and highly informative video. 👍
For those who aren’t aware, the introduction was directly inspired by ‘Actual Cannibal Shia Labeouf’ and I’d highly recommend watching it here on TH-cam. Great opening segment Clint’s Reptile’s!
Oscars are hardy fish but shouldn't be kept by beginners unless they are properly researched. That said they are my second favourite fish of all time (next to clowns)
Wakes up hyperventilating in terror from a horrible nightmare around 2am. Looks around the darkened room realizing he's still in the comfort of his own home, only to hear a whisper coming from the darkness......... ..... ..... .... .... .... "Dav Kaufman....."
Me and my girlfriend just got one recently captive bred, he's just a baby as of now. We have a massive water dish for his he loves swimming and I recently bought a 6 foot tank just for him, I plan on making it look amazing with him as the center point
I literally have no plans to get a pet reptile. I just find reptiles to be such cool creatures and love to learn more about them. Plus Clint I’d clearly so passionate about them and it’s always enjoyable to listen to people talk about things they genuinely love.
I really loved hearing about all the special care and research that is being done to really let these babies grow to their biggest and brightest! Passionate and caring breeders are the backbone of the entire hobby and need to be celebrated.
Basilisks are amazing. I saw a video of a dog cornering one by a pool, and when the basilisk sprinted across the pool to escape the dog genuinely seemed shocked and confused.
Great video Clint! I've been fortunate enough to spend time at my friends facility and have had the chance to work with three of the four basilisk species. The information you and Matt shared was spot on! These are not good "pets". One truly has to be willing to provide a HUGE enclosure all for a lizard that generally DOES NOT want to be messed with., Beauty has it's costs, but the beauty of a stress free captive born & bred B. plumifrons in a massive display enclosure is hard to beat!
When he mentioned that the lizards will discriminate between the types of lights moving from one to another . Put the idea in my head that maybe with the help of these lizards a more superior light source could be discovered and created.
Love the reference. I think it would be really cool if you did a series where you put the highest rated reptile species you’ve covered on the channel in a bracket and scored them head to head based on different categories like the ones you used in your video, “What is the best pet reptile?” Just a thought. Great video as always!
He hasn't done exactly this, but he has done quite a few "head to head" videos where he pairs arguably similar reptiles against each other to see which is the "better" pet. If you haven't seen them already, it sounds like you'd enjoy them! :)
@@beitermf I have. I just think it would be cool to see a bunch of the top animals paired against each other to see what is definitely the best pet reptile using different criteria than his normal videos.
This vlog needs a warning not to be driving during the first 2 minutes. I was cracking up in peals of hysteric laughter, causing great concern for nearby drivers. Relatability to polar molecules could be a relevant new category. Thank you for another "epically rad" video Clint ! Dāv will forgive you eventually 😊
This was such a fun video about Baslisiki lizards thank you. They are VERY beautiful. This will be the video that helps people understand all there care needs great job. Hope you 2 get to go on a great adventure to some place really cool and find lots of reptiles to show us. GOD BLESS 🐉💖🐉💖🐉💖
Ok ok ok.... Maybe i was wrong about these early saturday morning posts. Here i am for the 3rd or 4th week in a row. I guess there is just no sleeping in anymore, as an adult. This is the older version of saturday morning cartoons i guess. LoL
Clint as much as I love all your videos, I don't always think to click like.. but that intro rip on the Shia Labeouf video cracked me up so bad you got the like in about 5 seconds.
@@orcinusxx4776 going to a reptile zoo is on my top priority list as soon as it will be safe again to do so! but also... what if... you python IS an intelligent witch from outer space......
@@mMeFlora Won't be surprised in the least. She watches me intently every time I'm in the room with her, you can easily see that she's thinking about something. She also gives me the nastiest side eye whenever I do something not to her liking. She is fully aware of anything that happens in her surroundings.
This lizard is soo cool, I'd love to own one but I think there's still more research that needs to done to gather more insight/info on keeping them correctly. And as it stands now there better of in the wild than me having them so ill push this one to the back of the wishlist😅 Great video Clint❤
So happy you did this! I'm getting a Basilisk next month! I have a 36x18x36 fully bioactive up and ready to go, his body of water have tiny white cloud mountain minos in it, captive bred incase he eats them. I am so excited about getting my little guy!
What an amazing video! We have these wild down here in south Florida. It looks amazing when they run off so fast, standing up on their hind legs! Such cool reptiles!
They are so beautiful!!! I won’t be keeping one due to space, but wow, if I ever build my own reptile room/office, I would love to have such a beauty to share my life! Thanks for bringing us such amazing critters! 💚🦎🐛🐢🐍🐸
I had a breeding pair in a large semi-aquatic aquarium filled with Amazonian fish and turtles. The basilisks definitely stole the show. But man they didn’t like being handled much. And when they got out, it took some skill to catch them.
I had one as a teenager for at least 4 years, he was amazingly friendly and funny very easy to handle when trained. He used to run up the curtain and then when I would call him he used to jump on me, never bit me. was the perfect lizard I had him from a baby and put a lot of time into him, I think that's a must with these lizards as it's in their nature to be skittish
I got an imported brown basilisk, it was an awful experience. I felt horrible for it until it finally died 3-4 months later. I made multiple care mistakes, but didn't neglect it. It never thrived, it was skinny, anxious, constantly displayed. I looked to the pet store I bought it from for help only to see the one that I didn't purchase in an even worse state. It was a very difficult and sad experience.
love the show!! Do cockatiels or doves plz! I rescued an injured chameleon a few years ago, he was missing half his tail, burns on his feet. I searched youtube for content like this but only found Barczyk's SnakeBytes. I thought it was good ... until i learned more. this show is awesome, love that you're an academic-- i am too in history and manuscripts.
When I saw the scratched hand, it reminded me of my dear green water dragons. They have a lot in common! Yes, they are somewhat challenging - but they were great.
I just got a baby and the head bobbing after jumping on and swallowing prey is hilarious.Not too many lizards carry and take off with their food-I've noticed these guys are fond of that
Basilisk lizards are flighty and don't generally tolerate being handled a whole bunch. It's not that they are aggressive it's just that they get nervous and always seem to want to escape into water walking freedom lol. One of my favorite lizards to look at, they are absolutely striking animals visually.
Please don't miss the first episode of our new series Closer to Nature: th-cam.com/video/qsKoGlNksvk/w-d-xo.html
Seen it already, it's awesome!
What kind of collar is it Theo is wearing? The black one.
Show was awesome, I totally support you going out to all sorts of new places for closer to nature. Also that intro, truly glorious.
I caught it. Because of it, I think Dav is the one person that put thumbs down on this post hahaha
It was good stuff as always!!
Be careful guys! Basilisk are historicaly known for turning people to stone! Clint is unaffected because true love breaks the spell and Clint truly loves every reptile he touches
They only turn water to stone in this case 🤣 Clint also may be a medusa
Basilisk use satelites to watch over you and keep you in check.
I'm pretty sure the reason Clint is protected is because he is secretly a Parselmouth
They're also supposed to have six legs! This one has only four! I feel tricked! D&D lied to me, I can't believe it!
Oh, phew. I should be fine then!
Best intro ever. I think the problem with a Radability score would be that you'd give every animal a 5 for it.
Lol my thoughts exactly!
Shia Labeouf
You do get the reference right
To be fair, I think we'd all be terrified too if a wild Dave Kaufman was in pursuit.
Especially sprinting on all fours
50%serious 50% hillarious😂😂
Yes but your profile picture made me spat my nonexistent tea
No, no, see, that's the beauty of it. The selective pressure of this scenario is intended to help us all realize that running on water is just a matter of motivation.
Reasonable response haha. If you haven't though, you look up the Shia Lebough musical really quick and see what Clint was referencing with that bit.
Different from what most people think, breeding basilisks isn't as simple as hatching a chicken egg under a toad.
Nerd
If anyone would know how to breed Fantastic Beasts, it would be this guy.
Clint, can you get this guy on the show?
your profile pic and comment match up pretty good hah
Lmao
I don't know what I expected for an opening, but it wasn't that
Lol the dramatic intros, don't ever change Clint.
Frrr
You should know by now there is no escape from me. Bwahahaha....deep breath...hahahaha!
Oh my god you followed the basilisk till here!
Clint captured your essence with perfection! You can never say "no one understands me"😊 Rattle on Dāv!
Stop it 😂😂😂
That's the prettiest face I've ever seen on a lizard.
Those eyes are magical.
Also as someone who has done a rescue for an improperly cared for basilisk. It is very difficult to bring them back to health once they run into issues. Thank you for making it clear to people that they need a lot of space and high humidity.
"This is a lizard that is nervous and can move very quickly" - shows the basilisk upper body swinging at mach speed left and right, and then just exploding in 30 movements per second from every body part despite being held.
I know, right? I expected fast, not the-camera-can't-even-capture-it-fast :D
This is perhaps the last channel I would expect a reference to actual cannibal shia lebouf from.
Shia surprise!
Lol I actually just got done listening to Actual Cannibal Shia LaBeouf hahahahaha ha
That was the greatest intro of all time 😂😂😂

I so appreciate a survival strategy that just consists of the phrase "gotta go fast".
Rincewind?

Pros: Alert and active, cool looking dudes
Cons: Kept up all night by sound of lizard faces bonking against glass
You forgot the other pros:
Awesome ability, dope name
Sound asleep at night. No bonking. And they learn the boundaries of the enclosure by day if large enough.
Basilisks are amazing. I saw a video of a dog cornering one by a pool, and when the basilisk sprinted across the pool to escape the dog genuinely seemed shocked and confused.

Yess! 🤣🤣
This comment is not untrue, however, as science has shown, it's actually 57 seconds :)
When I saw this I screamed for joy!!! I have been waiting for this video for so long now- thank you!!!!
fun fact: basilisks love to eat baby green iguanas
True
Not so fun fact lol

The difference in the way he looks at the two of you! You can tell who feeds him.
Favorite lizard of all time, so happy to see you do a video on them!
favorite reptile youtubers is Wikens wicked reptiles and Clint so informational and entertaining
Still waiting for cuban knight anole, schneider skink and butterfly Agama.
Love it when you have an actual keeper/breeder on to supplement the information that you have already given.
Cheers,

finally, the video I´ve been asking for years now, good video as always btw
@8:20 your lizard is very tamed & docile! 🦎.... look at him looking at you, saying "Hey Dad!" LOL! (o.O)
I was NOT EXPECTING that intro! Here I am tuning into "mmm new lizard video" and BAM--I'm cracking up! Great jpb!
Funny how I was just considering this species, insightful content as always

Thank you for convincing me to get a blue tongue skink best decision ever!!!
Yeah blue tongues are amazing, In my experience they're very affectionate an easy to handle
The storytelling at the start though. So glad you covered this though! 😃

P.S. watch out for the tail whip of the crested gecko
Best intro yet, genuinely wasn’t expecting it
I have a Green Basilisk he's absolutely hilarious 🤣 Iv never known a lizard so food aggressive yet terrified of everything at the same time
I'm like that too
Maybe I'm a basilisk
Basilisk lizard have a lot of similarities with sailfin dragon: sail, omnivore, running above water with 2 legs, etc
Wen Matt is talking I love how his little basky looks to him as if to say dad can we go home now
best intro ever! totally unexpected and I low-key choked on my smoothie laughing, BEST way to start the day XD awesome video!
Imagine the perspective of every predator that sees this lizard escape

dude looks like castiel from SPN.
As a reptile fanatic this lizard is amazing :O

Great intro basilisks look so beautiful and are amazing to look at.
