@@ClintsReptiles In the Argus monitor review you said a monitor that had a full adult size comparable to the juvenile Raptor was a great size for a pet monitor, so what monitors get that size as full grown adults? looking around most are either smaller or much larger.
@@Ushio01 Kimberly Rock monitors look about that size, maybe a bit bigger. I don't know too much about them though, other than that the lizard alone will probably be almost or over a thousand dollars. So still maybe not the perfect option.
I'd like to submit that ackies are, in fact, the most dangerous monitor: they're the only monitor that made me nearly slap down five hundred bucks for an enclosure without thinking
I had the good fortune of getting to interact with a truly incredible adult female crocodile monitor named Whisper. She was a rescue and quite old--and on a diet!--but she was incredibly smart, alert, and even sociable. Some of the people who worked with her were able to pick her up and hold her against the shoulder like you hold a small child, and she wouldn't display any defensive behavior at all! Not to mention that she would frequently come to the edge of her enclosure and watch what people around her were doing. She sadly passed away due to cancer after I'd known her for a year to a year-and-a-half, but she's an unforgettable animal. I know, objectively, that she had the capability to be very dangerous in an instant, but as far as I know she never made anyone feel threatened. Rest in peace Whisper. I'm so glad I got to know you.
I want to note that Tom wasn’t bitten out of aggressive behavior on the lizard part. Two croc monitors were fighting and fearing for the other monitor life he tried to separate them and that’s when he was bitten but the monitor let go as soon as he was bitten it could have been worse if the monitor wanted to bite him in that case he prob would have lost his fingers
It's happened to me a few times, too. He's gotten better about it. I'd love to eventually learn how to keep big reptiles, but you can be sure I'd be using a set of feeding tongs.
This is a monitor you will need to raise up from a hatchling just to lower the possibility of being in danger, and even then safety isn't guaranteed. I think I prefer the black throat monitor.
heck yeah! btw, did you know they are the 3rd largest lizard by mass? Komodo dragon average: 170lbs Asian water average: 90lbs Black throat average: 60lbs Crocodile monitor average: 35lbs
Thank you for this Clint, I was seriously considering buying a pair of these (everywhere I looked sold them in pairs, including my local reptile “dealer” who’s a buddy of mine) but I couldn’t find any proper info on them, and after seeing this, I’ll give it a few more years. I figured that because of my experience with my other monitors (an Argus, blackthroat, and pair of Blue Tree monitors) I could handle at least one, but the way you broke this down made the answer clear. Love your videos and straightforward breakdown of these animals for dummies like me with money brains and soft thinky thinky parts, thanks for the content for people like me who consider these massive, exotic animals.
These videos educating why you shouldn't own particular animals outside of having an expertise are great. I've looked at pet websites for large lizards and such. You don't get a feel for the pro's and con's the same way as when you break it down. So yes, I enjoyed the King Cobra video (such a pretty snake) and this one immensely even though it may not be nearly as useful as the more practical pet videos.
I really like how you use your grading scale for all the animals on your channel regardless of the validity as a "pet". Please keep doing this for all the animals ESPECIALLY the "crazy" ones. Me and the kids love the channel.
I’m doing research right now for the best lizard for me, which makes me thankful that this channel exists! Now, croc monitors? Definitely not, i just wanted to watch the vid and see how cool they are. lol
I'd love to see Clint do a Komodo dragon show, albeit a less serious one. Love the content man! You seem like such a genuine guy aswell. From England 🏴
@@ClintsReptiles You should also try red-tailed hawk since that's a beginner bird used in falconry. Or you should also do a type of macaw since that is really popular.
@@daemonzap1481 don't forget the other one allowed to beginners. I say that as I google the name in another tab cause I did just that... Kestrel is the one!
3:55 I actually had a late uncle who would raise orphan bear cubs & release them back into the wild once old enough. Apparently they where quite friendly towards him. There's also that Polish artillery regiment who adopted a bear cub. So... after you fulfil the meme & do "is the Komodo Dragon the best pet monster", maybe do a head-to-head between black & grizzly bears? Also, I'm once again asking you to do a video on the Boomslang.
After owning reptiles for a while, seeing that video you can tell. There is a quality to the kind of attention they are giving and the way they move. That is how I have avoided any of my snakes biting me since I was a very new keeper, careful watch of the body language and where their focus is. I'm happy you didn't get hurt there.
I have seen croc monitors more than a few times in my life. Apparently there are still people that have them as pets (not me, but a guy I know). They are without a doubt the most beautiful monitors, but they are also terrifying.
a croc monitor is probably more unreasonable than any venomous snake, but we all appreciated the video nonetheless. I hope you review every reptile/ aquatic species, no matter the unreasonability!
I really like that you showed what a good enclosure could look like at the beginning. Really drives home what one would be getting into visually before one even considers a species as a candidate for keeping.
Very cool! Must have been awesome to get out and see Tom's place! I've been around one croc monitor...and I have a 5 ft Nile monitor (That's bitten me on the back of the neck, funny story ) and I was admittedly nervous around that croc monitor....those teeth!
@@ClintsReptiles I second his comment on a black rough neck, the best pet lizard? video. They seem absolutely amazing. It would also be really interesting to see a comparison of the black rough neck and dumeril's monitor.
These are hard-core but I've seen a komodo dragon rip a baby deer out her stomach while she was still alive and then swallow it whole right in front of her before proceeding to eat her
look at those eyes, the eyes of a wise sage!! if crocodile monitors could speak, they would probably lecture you nonstop about how to become a kung fu master.
I just needed to see the title, and I was like "No, no it is not." I have been following Tom Krutchfield for a while, and saw what his female did to his hand. I'm good without all that!
Can you do hermit crabs? Like the land hermit crabs that are found in almost every pet store. They’re severely mistreated and too many people don’t know what goes into taking care of them, and I think it’d be an interesting video!
I have a working GSD and we train and work with several mastiffs over 150lbs as well, those are seriously intimidating creatures and I'm used to intense dogs and know how to behave around them but at least they've been purposely shaped for 25 or more millennia and are social mammals and omnivorous like we are! I wouldn't play around with one of these for any money, but I'd love to see them up close.
Komodo dragon has serrated teeth though (steak knife teeth). I would not like to see a komodo dragon bite. But hey! tell me how your pet komodo works out :D
Even though the Komodo Dragons teeth looks less impressive, it’s purpose is different of that of the Croc Monitors which is to hold fast moving prey and tear it into pieces. Also the skulls of Komodos vary. Some Komodos have smaller teeth while others have more larger teeth. It depends on the age and size of the Komodo and what island it came from (ones from Komodo & Rinca island tend to have the biggest skulls and teeth compared to the ones on the 2 Gilis and Flores).
The croc-monitor lizard that Mr T. Crutchfield played with; is called Bernie. His smarter than most dogs and he's an apprentice of maths by being able to do basic calculus of subtraction and addition. When Bernie stared at Clint there; it was just calculating how many frozen chicks there were still in that recipient. The thing is that Bernie can count how many fingers one has, as well.
Basically the croc monitor is the cloest to a hardcore reptile,and Clint know it And I love it,cause these Monitor are so close to being an awesome,smort,and quite dangerous reptile to have as a pet,and Clint is a master at knowing how not to handle a reptile that will kill you,if you really don't know what your doing.
I just watched your video about rodent feeders and it made me curious about a pet rat. Particularly you were talking about the difference between a rat and a mouse and they're really quite different animals. Rats pretty smart and they're all so even trainable. Now I know you've talked about mammals before. Maybe you could talk about a pet rat but I understand if you don't because it's easier to feed him to reptiles if you don't see them as a pet.
Oh my 😂 love the reference and jeez those chompers are insane. You sold me on getting a tegu, got my red tegu about 8 months ago, what a beast! Doesn't bite at all, still a little jumpy at times but he's incredibly sweet, love my little charmander tanks clint! The. Knowledge and love you give for free to your viewers is incredible. When I'm not broke I'll definitely be signing up for you guys in the vip section
The quality of these videos is getting better. The way clint speaks is more deliberate like he has a script and it was cool editing to have the story after the credits w/video. Pro level.
"Tree Velociraptor with the teeth of a Tiger Shark." I'll stick with my minature Mountain Lion ( a fawn Abyssinian cat, pictured, named Annabeth Chase). What did you name your Ackie? And yes, please do the 'Is a cat the best pet?' you mentioned in your live feed. I'd suggest showing some morphs: Abyssinian, Bengal, plush panda-like Exotic shorthair, Sphinx, and of course a Lykoi (werewolf cat).
These are super impressive reptiles haha. My favorite monitor keeper for me is Kevin. He is amazing with his awesome water monitor. In fact I call him the monitor whisperer. Or veranid whisper haha
Great job man. You had me cringing just listening to you. I have indeed seen what that boy did to Toms hand. He was in the hospital for 5 or 6 days recovering. Yeah you do great work, appreciate your forward honesty and real knowledge. Looking forward to much more from you now.
I would argue crocodile monitors and big monitor lizards in general are the most like dinosaurs. It’s insane. They are beautiful and amazing animals. Tom has a bunch of cool animals over there he needs to start his own channel
At this point when the Komodo Dragon video hits it'd be hilarious if the intro was just him screaming "No! Are you insane?!?! How is this even a question?!"
I can see how those outdoor enclosures could get messed up by another animal or the weather and that’s probably part of how so many got loose down there. Florida is a cool place
Hey Clint! I’m a huge fan and I’m looking to get a tattoo of an emerald tree monitor and I was wondering if you had some good pictures of greenie miracle I could use for reference. If not, no worries! Thought I’d check though, love your stuff
I think even a King Cobra would honestly be a lot better than a croc monitor. The care isn’t actually that difficult for a cobra it’s just the fact their venomous and there’s a risk there. But if you don’t handle them as often as you can. Should be fine
Love crocodile monitors ! I have a theory about why they are so tameable. Where they were seldomly seen by humans being almost completely arboreal . They don't have the built-in fear of humans..so if raised from a baby they seem to be very tamable .
Personally I’d still say a 200lb Komodo would seem to be scarier than a 40lb croc, but being close to an 8 footer even with the cage separating us was still pretty intense
I know a guy who got a croc monitor as his first pet lizard when he was 12, don't ask how he even got ahold of one and somehow they are both still alive 10 years later. What's truly amazing is that he still has all his fingers. Don't be like him kids, them animals are for those with a hell of a lot of experience and basically nobody else.
im so jealous you got to meet the Tom iv been facebook friends with him for years, his work with large reptiles is incredible, hes the only person who has ever made me want to own an iguana (will never happen). did you at least pet one of the croc monitors Clint?

Ikr? That Ackie just making everything harder.
I always recommend a croc monitor as a first pet reptile. Cute, cuddly, can be trained to crochet. The perfect reptile.
Also it probably is a great guard. If a stranger comes and stresses it out...
For the perfect cuddly affectionate relationship, be sure it's a wild caught adult crocodile monitor.
well there are no bad handlers of croc monitors.
just like how there aren't any bad electricians.
Sup man you have a good channel too bro
Yes totally....haha

I think even a King Cobra would honestly be a lot better than a croc monitor. The care isn’t actually that difficult for a cobra it’s just the fact their venomous and there’s a risk there. But if you don’t handle them as often as you can. Should be fine
Love crocodile monitors ! I have a theory about why they are so tameable. Where they were seldomly seen by humans being almost completely arboreal . They don't have the built-in fear of humans..so if raised from a baby they seem to be very tamable .
"Tree raptor with great white teeth." LOL. You rest the bar with that one.
Croc monitors are absolutely amazing!
Stinkin' rad !!!
Thank you sooo much Clint!! I had asked for this video and you said you would make it! You have made my week!! You are amazing!
Personally I’d still say a 200lb Komodo would seem to be scarier than a 40lb croc, but being close to an 8 footer even with the cage separating us was still pretty intense
"You can die from a monocled cobra bite in under an hour"
Pretty sure gushing out blood will be a helluva lot faster than that.
Clint video titles be like: “POISON IVY, THE BEST PET PLANT?”
I know a guy who got a croc monitor as his first pet lizard when he was 12, don't ask how he even got ahold of one and somehow they are both still alive 10 years later. What's truly amazing is that he still has all his fingers. Don't be like him kids, them animals are for those with a hell of a lot of experience and basically nobody else.
im so jealous you got to meet the Tom iv been facebook friends with him for years, his work with large reptiles is incredible, hes the only person who has ever made me want to own an iguana (will never happen). did you at least pet one of the croc monitors Clint?
