When Simba is better at fetch than my dog.... adorable!
lolol Thank you
Same!
Lmao so cute!
I missed that guy, you can tell you and him have a special bond by the way he interacts with you.
He sleeps in my bed bro lol
@@Animal1Guy That's epic
@@Animal1Guy while you're in it???
@@cynthiafritze7418 yes lol
@@Animal1Guy 🦖😳🤐
I never knew that Simba was such a ripped stud!🤣
Seriously though, he is lovely.
Thank you
"Can you stay in the frame?" "BALL BALL BALL BALL BALL!"
lololol mine mine mine
Haha that’s like my hermit crabs when I hand feet my nice one and my brine shrimp…
I like how he plays with his toy ball the whole time
lol
It’s so good to see Simba! I missed him! That ball gives his jaws some exercise, it’s good he doesn’t chew on you! 😂. I think he knows he’s a “daddy’s favorite “!
😁
Would love to see more vids of you just chilling with your reptiles. Was excited to see a Tortalini cameo!! How’s Mongo and the gang doing?
the beardies are brumateing!
This is interesting, thank you for doing this. I know I've seen a LOT of questions about Savannahs online, hopefully they'll find your video. Happy to be a patron and support your work!!!
How do you know that chickens don't surf ?
Glad it was helpful!
@@Sour_pussy i swear i have actually seen someone with a pet chicken surfing in the ocean. Ill look to see if i can find dat vid.
Nice of you for supporting such great cause. I noticed you mention you are a patron supporter alot. Is there reason for this? No trying to be rude, just curious?
Thank-you 🙂
@@chiabluedoo6035 I just try to make actual constructive comments. I have a channel and people hardly ever comment or say why they like or dislike something. I'm hoping people will see my comments and get something out of them, more than juts a dot on an algorithm. I've also supported other people on patreon who took total advantage of that, and showed off their new Tesla or something - if you're making bank on youtube, why do the patreon thing? This is one of the few channels that I have found that seem to actually deserve the assistance, so yes, I'm going to be vocal about it :)
I'm so happy I found your videos! So informative. I gained a deeper respect for reptiles. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Loved all the great information in your video! I absolutely adore Simba and really enjoyed seeing him playing through the video. You can tell he's not aggressive because he never once went after Tortilini. You do such a wonderful job of educating everyone that watches your videos. Here's hoping that2021 gets back to some semblance of normal..
Tort and him are crazy they love each other
he’s much bigger than i thought! he’s wonderful and behaves like a little doggo
Thank you
Thank you so much for all the information you put out. I don’t know how I stumbled on your videos but I enjoy them. I’m a 74-year-old grandmother who was always scared to death of lizards. I look forward to listening to all your information. Thank you so much
I meat so many people like you. I bumped into a couple in their late 60s while walking with Saria (7ft boa) they were at first scared, never even been close to a snake. and then at they end of the 25min talk they held her for all kind of photos to show their grandkids.
Simba is 1000% less likely to bite you than my toddler is xD
lolololololol IO trust him, he sleeps in my bed at night lol
"Oh Hi Tortollini" OH MY GOSHHHH what a great name for him! Hahaha the best! 🐢🐢🐢
lol thank you
The fans voted on that name :)
I'm setting a timer for this
thank you
Simba is so adorable! You are touching and turning him and stuff but he is giving a flying flip and is all about his toy ball 😁!
😊 thank you
He is adorable!
Thank you
Nice video. Not too much info out there on Savannah’s and most of it is conflicting. Which is why I appreciate your channel so much. You bring out the fun in Savannah’s and I hope it starts reversing their bad stigma. - I rescued my savvy at about 8 months when he was only being fed rodents by first owner. To get him weaned off rodents and on to bugs I used lean meats like turkey and slowly transitioned him over from that to only insects. I thought he was a girl until I caught him going potty in the back yard and saw a full hemipene come out of one side, it was huge and unmistakable, about the size of my whole finger 😭 since I’ve had him ive noticed his body drastically change. He looked very uncomfortable before, most of his body weight felt like watery jelly mass. He is now muscular all over and I notice those ridges at his tail base, his head is much more defined, even his leg structure is much more muscular. He used to drag his belly on the ground and now its lifted. In the summer he would go for walks on a harness and leash just like my dogs, he even learned to walk down the sidewalk and would keep up speed with me. He loves to climb, dig, jump, he loves tunnels and plants. I have to get him some toys now that I see how much simba loves them!! I’ve kept many different species and he is by far the most fun to interact with and in my opinion the easiest to tame. They’re incredibly smart animals and I can tell they get so much enrichment out of human interaction. I’m so grateful I rescued him at a young age and hopefully I was able to get his diet right before he had any irreversible health problems. Looking forward to seeing more of Simba! Would love toy recommendations!
He's got a video on just that! th-cam.com/video/oEb-cWt4r8Q/w-d-xo.html
@@jonathanm.7401 thanks 😊
Love this comment! So easy to tame and train over other lizards I have had. you are so right! the only info you see on savs is super old! and all out of date info. SImba loves his walk in the park in the spring/summer!
Love your videos so much information
Glad you like them!
Great educational video with a lot of Simba-playtime.😄 Awesome.👍
Thank you 🤗
Can’t believe how much he’s grown !! Yay Simba 😍
woo woo
He's SUCH A GOOD BOY
yes he is!!!!
I dont know if ill ever own a savannah monitor but all i know is that he looks so dam cuddly. And the info is super useful!!
thank you
Hi man, how are u? Wow wot a gr8 vid. Love listening to u talk, ur like a old wise man in the body of a young man, so wonderful 🙏
Gota say im shocked at how little they can go for, i can see how ppl get way in over their heads with that. Thinking well the lizard costs so little, it wont cost alot to take care..
Btw im so in love with our sweet Simba, i love his feets, the way he holds them up b4 a step - so cute ☺️
Ty 4 ur knowledge and as always give big pets to every-tile pweese 🙏🙏🙏
Peace and beautiful harmonious light to u ✌️
✌️🙏✌️💛✌️🙏✌️
thank you
Wow just noticed that you're almost to 100k subscribers! So cool!
So close!
So excited to see Simba! Yay!!
Thank you
Hi animal 1 guy. Love all you’re videos
Thanks so much
Love how he was looking all around then boom he sees his ball and bam!
lol
He's so precious 😍
thank you
I love your informative videos! I love any video with Simba in it even more! Especially after going back and watching more of your older videos featuring a little tiny baby Simba and seeing just how dedicated you were to to his early socializing, training, and loving interactions-they are really awesome (you need to do some throwbacks !) Question- how old was he when you got him and how small was he then? I know he's grown a ton from the videos... I know you've said he was a baby... just really curious 🤔 thanks man! Also, great topic & info today!!!👍👍👍
he was tiny, watch his started videos! he was about 3 inches long, about 3 weeks old
@@Animal1Guy Omg! That's ridiculously tiny! Wow! And 3 weeks old? That just sounds SOOOOooo little &baby fragile! You have really, Really raised him his whole life! And you've done a great job!
Love this videos
thank you
Oh my goodness! Simba has gotten so big! Such a handsome dude🧡
thank you
Simba' is an absolute unit
thank you
Simba…such a well mannered gent 👍❣️
thank you
Simba is awesome 😎. I see a lot of other content about Savannah monitors is that they are more aggressive. Simba seems so chill with you.... Does he ever digest parts of his ball? 😌. He seems to really love that thing
he cant break this ball apart. They have very very small teeth. they normally just swallow things whole. and this ball is for large dogs. This is why I make videos about him, Savannahs are amazing lizards and train so easy! so much old info saying they are bad.
I actually saved a sav from petco two years back and he's massive and thriving now; a little over 3 feet ! I kept calling petco so they'd discontinue the species after I observed no basking spot and lack of proper hygiene in the tank. I was successful. Thanks for the informative video
good job!
Can't wait.....even I am soooo tired.....
I will be in the chat!
Hi! Love Simba 😍👏
Hello 😊 thank you
Aaah my favorite lizard 🥰🥰
lolol
Good video
Glad you enjoyed
Hes so cool!
thank you
He is so interesting to watch!
Our local pet shop has a juvenile savanna monitor, but the reptile keepers there talk about how they are so moody and crabby. (I know they take excellent care of their animals, so I think it is just preference.) It is such a refreshing thing to hear a completely different perspective and the proper care on such a cool lizard.
he has never been moody
@@Animal1Guy that is awesome. He’s a beautiful reptile. I’m so glad to see him interacting and obviously thriving! We’ve graduated from starting with tiny turtles and (four!) beardies to an African Fat Tail Gecko... They are all family members now and I wouldn’t trade a single experience with any of them.
(Just don’t ask our dog. She thinks we pay too much attention to them. Lol!)
You had me at lizard belly 😍😍😍
lol thank you
Tortellini reminds me of this giant tortoise my uncle had on his farm. In the winters, he'd bring Big Brucie into the house and he'd just walk around and push everything out of his way if it was blocking his path, including us humans.
lolololol love it
Love Simba!!!!!❤️
thank you
Bless you and your reptiles for making my days great....just got to ask a question.... why are bearded dragons more expensive then monitor lizards.....maybe that's a stupid question, but I just wanted to know....have a wonderful new years....to you and all your babies....🦎🐢🐍🐸🐊
BD are more popular! Also as babies they eat a lot of bugs lol! Most BD are captive bred so cost more. Some monitors are wild caught so are cheaper, but if you look at captive bred monitors some cost thousands!
I know that I will never own a reptile after watching your channel. Thank you for your work.
My pleasure
Nice video Reptiles. Good pets animals. monitor 👍
Thanks 👍
Another fine video. I’m relatively new to your channel, so forgive me if this info is somewhere else. How did you get involved with learning all this stuff about and caring for reptiles? 🦎 If this info is in prior videos, I’m sure I’ll get to it. Just curious about the origins!
2nd grade, a guy came to our school to show us reptiles lol
Simba is so gorgeous. If I was a reptile person I would get a monitor and cross my fingers that I got one like him, but alas I'm a ratty mom. I do appreciate btw the fact that you don't feed your reptiles live rodents lol. Feedings are still difficult to watch but I understand lol.
thank you!
Does Simba act differently if someone, not you, is around him? I know his demeanor has to do with his personality. I'm just curious if someone else gets a different side of him. 💙🌻
He is more scared if people are around him w.o me nearby
❤️
hi hi
Is that ball a Kong toy or something similar? Been thinking about getting my baby savannah monitor some toys but wasn’t sure what to get and Simba really seems to love his ball
Animal1 Guy: (lots and lots of important information)
Me: LOOK AT SIMBA! HE IS SUCH A GOOD BOY! AWWW BIG BOY!!
Simba: (kills the ball) GRRR!
lololololololol
I own a Savannah monitor and she is really chill but also very Curious
ya get even more chill the older they get!
👍👍👍👍👍
Damn it man im struggling to stay awake as it is if I sleep in and my lizards are mad at me for feeding them late you're gonna have to tell them why
lolol
He is Amazing!! Very handsome!
thank you
Yay my favorite little dude! (Not so little anymore haha) ❤️
I know!!
He can care less about what you are doing as long as he can get his ball. It's so cute.
even without his ball he doesnt care, he knows i safe and wont do anything bad to him.
Tortellini is MY BAE!!!!
lol
Hello, I tried once to fed mine with raw fih and it liked that (yeah I don't know yet if it's a male or female yet). Do you think fish is a good meat since it's not the same fat as mammal ?
I feed raw fish, its low in fat but has oils so I dont feed a lot.
He is so handsome 😍
thank you
I love your videos and I really want a lizard
thanks man, they are awesome, and beginner ones are easy to care for!
Your turtle is jealous it’s not been in a featured video lately.
I am actually getting ready for a video for them gotta address a problem with them but waiting for what I ordered.
💙🦎
hi hi
I have a baby savannah monitor and I have been feeding him about two times a day. About 3 to 4 small cut chicken cubes trimmed fat. he was very malnourished when I got him. he is healthier now, but am I over feeding him?
as a baby you can feed as much as they want, they are not storing fat at this time. they use it to grow.
Thank you
Simba!!
nom nom!
Hey I just recently got a rescue sav could I write u for some tips
you can in a new comment dont reply or I wont see it
I LOVE Simba so much, he's just so handsome and sweet
If I were to get a savannah monitor, should I try to get a captive breed one? I don't want to contribute to these beautiful animals getting caught from their natural habitat :(
Captive breed because it decreases they chance of parasites that they can get in the wild and there easier to tame as well
Captive bred is better, but there is not a big captive bred market since they are so cheap its not worth the time/money to do it. Most are treated for parasites if wild caught
Trying so hard to swallow that toy! Good puppy.
Tell me about it
He beautiful love have have one like him but got another reptile lol
cool!
I want such a lizard too !!!
he is awesome!
Wow that lizard is big. I thought it was small until you pet it then I could see a comparison. Yikes.
I think it's a big problem when animals are cheap to buy. It encourages people to go into pet ownership without thinking it through. I wish there was legislation to make it illegal to sell an animal for less than say, a $100 at least. It's no guarantee but it does help. BTW: Simba is way tamer than my rescue cat! I adopted him at 10 months and he was quite vicious. A lot of biting and actually launching himself at me and others. I've done a lot of work with him and he doesn't do that anymore, but he still has a narrower window of tolerance than I would like. He's settled down but can still be quite jumpy. The work continues!
yes cheapness does play a big part
Hi
hi
TURTLE BUTT!!!!! lol
lololol
Any pet is always a reflection of its owner. Bad pet means bad parents/owner. You must be a saint you animals are so well behaved on camera. I love watching your videos.
thank you
Bigger lizard, bigger brain, bigger train.
yes
Wait why why my comment got deleted 😯😭😢😧✌
which one?
No, they're just big-boned. *badumtsh*
lol
He's looks scary trying to kill that ball
hes just playing.....lol
I think they have a bad reputation as a pet because of the husbandry requirements and expenses plus all the bad info floating around out there. The low cost of the lizard is a real problem when the rest of the set-up is relatively expensive
It is only expensive if you have to buy the tank. If you can build it, its also cheap. Cost is also relative so for some none of its is expensive.
Have you started your diapause yet?
noooo no diapause
Bigger brain, easier to train he says. I wonder when dinosaurs existed if something had trained those bad boys
lololol
HE THICC
lololol
Aw, Simba's a big ol cutie...
So as far as the tail goes, you want your lizard to look like he's got some butt cheeks going on? :b
lolol
Yeah mine is a fa t fuck unfortunately and his name is chubz so ya know. Btw does yours mouth bleed sometimes i know they shed teeth constantly. But he has made alot of progress with losing weight but now its just alot of saggy skin
yes their bottom teeth come out small blood its normal
@@Animal1Guy tyy! Thats a relief
