Timor Monitor, The Best Pet Lizard?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 чер 2024
- Ackie monitors are probably the best pet monitor because they are a reasonable size and have a great personality. That said, they are expensive and don't have the best monitor body shape. Fortunately, there is another small monitor that is not as expensive and has the perfect monitor shape. That monitor is the timor monitor. So, is the timor monitor the best pet lizard for you?

Any monitor you can hold in your hands comfortably is a win from me.
They are special
I've had timor babies once and kept them till adulthood.. they are very jumpy although they will take food from your hands..Their character is just below green monitors in agileness
Likewise

spoken like a pro keeper. Well said 👍
"Prehensile tails just make me happy" :)
So happy!
Misheard start as they can “run and breed at the same time.” I was both confused and impressed.
You could make a "head to head" with this and the ackie monitor. That could help people who want a smaller monitor.
He already says that the ackie monitor is way better at 12:15 so it won't be much of a head to head
Should really do more of a head to head with a freckled monitor and an ackie since they're of similar nature and size but have different care requirements (ackie is more ground dwelling and semi-arid vs the semi-tropical arboreal freckly).
@@Faliat Freckled monitor is that Varanus tristis
@@vinnie11v62 Varanus Tristis Orientalis, yeah.
ua-cam.com/video/VPZTJIhtWzc/v-deo.html
the fact that they had to re-do the whole video and Clint seems not only not bothered by this, but EXCITED to get to spend more time with reptiles, shows just how much he enjoys reptiles.
Such a spectacular lizard Clint
Here in Aus we obviously have just shy of 30 species, many of which are this size or smaller, yet for some reason all our dwarf monitors arnt as well known as our larger monitors!
Big monitors get all the attention, but the little guys make such good pets.
Any of the smaller Aussie monitors make decent pets?
rjohn19 Ackies
You should invite Clint down under to work with you
@@rjohn19 Basically all of them
The new hidden rating thumbnails are really clever and great
Thanks! That was a viewer suggestion and I think it's fun.
Hold tf up were is it
My friend: My dream pet is a German shepherd! What’s yours?
Me: Uhhh well ya see... my dream pet is a monitor.
My Friend: A computer monitor?
Me: You know Komodo Dragons?
My friend: Yeah Why?
Me: Think that but a bit smaller.
My friend: like leopard gecko smaller?
Me: no like the size of a small dog smaller.
Ya lol same for me
Anybody who knows what a Leopard gecko is, 100% knows what a monitor is...
@@Blindashitmetalasfuck indeed
Definitely going to need a versus video. Ackie vs Timor
I love monitors and I worked with large reptiles for 14 years. Worst bite I ever took was from an adult male timor monitor.
That face is just the cutest thing ever. And my goodness, I could watch one breathe for hours.
Right??
@@ClintsReptiles It's just so mesmerising...
Yeah I was petting the screen, because of how cute the Timor Monitor is
The second take was great, too, Clint! Looks like we'll lean more toward an ackie for our first monitor lizard.
It's always fun starting over...
Great choice!
@@GayleenFroese are they agressive?
Couple video requests:
Common Snapping Turtle
Softshell Turtle
Fire Bellied Newt
American Toad
All great suggestions! I'll see what I can do.
@@ClintsReptiles Okay, love your videos! You are why I got a blue tongue skink.
Also if you do snapping turtles try to use a baby as an example. Food for thought.
And a chuckwalla plz
@@azazelthedark1 he’s partly why I have my tegu lol
I honestly love the outtakes so much. I like the whole persona(?) and vibe of the main videos but the outtakes are just as fun as any outtakes can be. Glad to see ya'll are having fun with it while being informative.
I’m so excited to learn about green tree monitors when you release that video.
Absolutely glorious monitor. I'm going to get an ackie, but also fell in love with the Dumerils from the monitor video.
I’ve been asking for you to do this video! Thank you so much!
I enjoyed the live stream! I love that you show case all these lizards. I learn more and more and it’s so fun to listen all about these creatures!
Thanks for being there! I remember your name from the stream. I think I even talked to you about how much Owen likes cheetahs several months ago.
Clint's Reptiles Yes! I remember you said Owen was really into cheetahs!
My day is officially made now! Love these guys!
Such a good sport to your camera man. Awesome Clint the Reptile Whisperer!
Definitely like the change to the thumbnail, encourages everyone to watch the video! Following the theme of dwarf monitors, any chance of a video with Kings Rock monitor?
I've wanted a Timor for a long time, great video!
This show is so chill and positive. It's really refreshing.
I love the monitor lizard series
YES! I’ve been waiting for this
Hi Clint, long time viewer, first time commenter. I had a Timor monitor for 8 years. Paid $65 for a sub adult of "unknown origins" (read: definitely imported). I just wanted to mention that with regular work, mine became a sweetheart to handle. I would walk around the house with her perched on my shoulder, she was about as calm as a leopard gecko. Also wanted to say she loved the occasional minnow I would drop in her water bowl. Really awesome lizard that I'll never have again because now I have a tegu. 😊
Thank you for this awesome video Clint! If I was getting a monitor it would be a Ackie or Timor Monitor.
Yes! I've asked for this!
Definitely not the best lizard, but I gotta say it's a dreamie of mine. Great video as always!
LOVED the ending!!
We loved it so much we decided to do it twice!
I have one of these. An absolute joy to own. Not a big fan of being picked up but is out and about all day. Very aggressive eater. Mine doesnt run away from you but tends to be weary.
I can't own reptiles for awhile but these videos make me happy. I absolutely love monitors and I love these videos!
Awesome vid as usual
I am struck by the elegance of this monitor. Definitely unexpected and incredibly beautiful! Thank you for introducing us to these amazing creatures, week after week. 😊🙏🏼🦎🐍🐢🐓
Aren't they incredible??
And you're welcome! It is a lot of fun for me as well :)
Another great video!
I love your channel so much! Timor’s are so stinkin’ rad!
Thank you so much! And yes, they are amazing little lizards.
Love Saturdays because we get to see what Amazing animal Clint has to show us!
I know you just get absolutely inundated with suggestions so absolutely no pressure, but out of curiosity are beauty snakes, dart frogs, or tarantulas anywhere on your radar? I know only one of those are technically reptiles, but they’re all so much fun!
Awesome video as always Clint! Went to an expo this weekend and saw a bunch of Mangrove Monitors for sale. Do you have plans to do a video on them? They are a pretty cool looking lizard
Hi Clint! I'm here to tell you, that because of you, and many other people that do videos about reptiles, I went and bought almost all the things needed for the corn snake. I'm going to get the snake during next week, when I have everything set up. I absolutely can't wait for my personal noodle with the head.
Great choice!
so let me get this straight.. other lizards don’t breath when they run? so when my beardie tries to make a run for it he’s holding his breath? and if that’s the case then why isn’t it easier to catch down some lizards
I'm no expert on beardies, but most likely. Lizards run and stop. They usually can run far enough before they have to stop and breath.
I've been a reptile fan my whole life sand didn't know they couldn't run and breathe at the same time! That explains why monitors appear to have a two stage breathing system. Very cool!
Yet another fun and educational video. Thank you for what you do Clint.
I'm from the Philippines and this monitor reminds me of the Palawan monitor.. really similar except the one in Palawan is like 10foot long. 😅
You're welcome! Isn't this a nice alternative??
Would you consider making a 'best pet video' on Brown House snakes? I think they're absolutely beautiful and underrated, I'd love to learn more about them! Also this little guy is adorable ❤️❤️
I can’t wait to get mine this Friday
You should definitely do a video like this about green tree pythons!
Beautiful critter, very active and large tongue. I would definitely go for an Ackie over this, though.
This, along with the green and blue tree monitors, and the peach throat monitors, is on my dream list. One day, maybe, hopefully.
I also love the mystery in the thumbnail.
always wish he gave approximate dimensions on the enclosure, not just vague comments like relatively large or rather reasonable. that's the only bit of info that seems lacking. other than that great videos, great guy!
I came home from work today, and my Timor had laid an egg without breeding.The only other thing kept in the cage is a very small tortoise. It was weird for an egg. Super squishy, but no doubt that's what it was.
Those eyes, like molten copper 😍😍 I wish they were more handle-able and less nervous because they are just stunningly beautiful.
I wish I could work with you! I've works with reptiles for over 20 years and LOVE them!!!
Thanks Clint now you make me sure to get a Timor monitor, i will adopt one from my friend

He has already done some of them
Don't worry, we'll have access to one before the end of the year!
@@ninadpuri9205 really? Which one did i miss?
It's not Saturday without clint.
Thanks for being here with me :)
The notification pops up on my way to work in the morning so it's always good lol makes your day better
Hi Clint really love your videos good job:) pls voud you be able to make videos about dwarf king monitor? (varanus kingorum) many thnks
His walking 😍😊😁
Cutie monitor!
Clint, have you ever considered doing a video on rough neck monitors?
You mentioned them in passing in your best monitor list and I'm curious what your more in-depth thoughts on them are.
Another awesome video! If you are able to see/answer this question I saw people debating about whether or not Blue Tongue Skinks can get ear infections from getting water there from soaking and was wondering if that is true? Was wondering if that could be a good video of you finding these debated facts and giving your opinion on them?
Such an interesting little monitor I love the colors and look more than an ackie for sure but idk if I'll ever get around to owning a monitor I'll stick to smaller geckos trying to go through college right now doesn't leave me alot of spare cash for the really rad creatures lol
It would be perfect if you do a review of a Cuviers dwarf caiman
The beard is back
He looked like a fairly cooperative individual considering his species' reputation... most of the time, anyway.
On the topic of small lizards from lizard families known for being big, do you have any plans to do the desert iguana?
I love monitors, perhaps more than any other type of lizard, but I'm going to need much more space before I take on that endeavor. I had a Nile when I was a kid, but I had ALOT of help with it.
Could there be a Timor vs Ackie monitor video in the future? They seem to be so similar, yet have subtle differences that could decide which one is better. I'm honestly considering picking one of the two up as my first monitor. That's going to be years down the line, but it wouldn't hurt to plan it out now, lol.
More awesome monitors!
could you make a video on tree monitors. I've been interested in them for sometime now because their, to me at least the perfect monitor ( big enough to be impressive, small enough to handle and easy enough to care for, more or less), though any similarly sized monitor would be interesting too. I've been researching them too but, in the UK at least, can't find any that are available still it's more of a dream for the future when I can actually afford them.
@clint reptiles great video! Which monitor would you find a good fit for a new reptile owner that would be a good start for someone that is new
Hey Clint, I was wondering what would be the best option to provide heat for large snakes? Heat pads work for smaller snakes but I am about to purchase an 8ft Red Tail Boa and I know there are not heat pads that large. Is it okay to use heat lamps? Because that would make it much easier.
Oh the ackie is without a doubt THE best pet monitor. Reasonable size, even the skittish babies often will tame down, hardy, great personality, and gorgeous. The only real draw back is the need alot of substrate and some height, so their enclosure is bigger than a lizard their size would suggest.
Timors are awesome monitors but I would say some of the other australian dwarf might be better, although if you get a friendly CBB timor, hard to think of a better pet monitor.
Please do a head to head between the Timor monitor and the Ackie monitor
Hey I love your videos, but I have a question for the animals that need UV light can it be replaced if the enclosure is under sunlight like near or under a window? With some shadow espaces within the enclosure.
You should do a video about Blue tree monitors!🔥🔥
They are so cute!!!
Right???
@@ClintsReptiles Timor Monitor's are just the cutest monitor lizards of Asia . I love Australian dwarf monitor lizards as well.
Hi Clint, I have a personal fascination with the smaller monitors, known as Odatria. Varanus timorensis is classified as one of these genus & is known from the islands around Timor.
A very similar species is the Peacock monitor, Varanus auffenbergi which I believe is only found on one particular island (Roti) near Timor
[Mark Auliya and André Koch
Visual Identification Guide to the Monitor
Lizard Species of the World
(Genus Varanus)].
As such there are subtle differences which separate these species & I for one have a personal preference for the latter. Why, is a reasonable question & simply it is because of the blue in their pattern. I feel this is an exquisite feature & sets them apart from an average V timorensis, plus it affords them their common name of Peacock.
Did your video release prior to the distinction of these as separate species or do you take the view that they are colour forms of the same species? You mention the colour in your video, but make no mention of the different island localities, which is for my point, what's misleading when you continue to call your specimen a Timor monitor. Otherwise I enjoy your content & would myself love to maintain (possibly breed) a pair or trio of V auffenbergi in the future, because of their smaller stature thus making their care less problematic.
I keep large constrictors & understand the difficulties maintaining large reptiles, so would never promote an average keeper towards anything larger than V jobiensis for example unless they have the facility & many years of experience to deal with the trials of such impressive creatures.
None the less I appreciated this episode for the detailed videography of a V auffenbergi (imo) as one of my aspirational animals.
Hey Clint, could you make a video about different substrates?
have you ever done the mangrove monitor there one of my favorites
For that, I would think an enclosure around the size of a large cabinet or bookshelf with a small tree inside.
I may be getting one
a bit of a weird request but have you considered doing a video on Galapagos/Abdera tortoises? They are my favorite animal, and even though I probably won't ever get one, I am still interested in the care involved.
Are you going to do a video on the Kings Dwarf Monitor?
Hey, i don't know if you're going to see this, but can you do a video on the green basilisk? I'd like to hear your opinion on them if it's not too much trouble.
You should do one on a king dwarf monitor it’s similar to a Ackie but kinda smaller and more expensive
I need an dumerillis monitor video please Clint 😉😊
Another rad video as usual Clint! Keep it up!
Suggestion though, I don't like the lack of score on the thumbnail. I like to know what I'm getting into before the video. Plus it's easy to look back at the thumbnails for a quick glance reference on the rating on a particular reptile.
Thanks!
Can you please cover an African gray? My girlfriend’s family has one and I’m curious about proper care, Cage size and things of the sort.
This could be a good option to take care of the surplus of dubias that have gotten too big for my geckos. Also a good size until I can free up a room for one of those NERD water monitors.
I have a nile monitor currently about 6 months old. Would you say these are more timid than nile monitors? Mine seems to be pretty ok with being handled but I’m wondering if I’ll be able to make one of these not afraid of me or timid
Love all your videos Clint i was planing on getting a Bredli python one day and hoping you can make a video on then so I can have more information it’s alright if you can’t iv done lots of research but I would love to know your thought 😁😁 p.s your awesome
That's a great suggestion! Great Basin Serpentarium produces a lot of them.
Clint's Reptiles that awesome I’m from Australia so I can find plenty here at my local pet shop I really want a big snake that is very docile and it’s recommended that the bredi python is the way to go. Thank for all you done iv learnt so much
Those are good. Black headed pythons are on my someday list.
Clint's Reptiles can’t wait 😍
Can you make a video all about the monitors and all their features
I actually prefer the look of the ackies( I may be a bit biased though because I have 9😂)
Where did you get them from do you breed them?
can you do a video on the viper boa
Clint, can you please please make a video on Kimberly rock monitors!!!!???? thank you!!!!
Please do one of these for the false water cobra. I am considering one and want to know some facts from you.
Cool!
Right??
What are some small-ish easy to care for diurnal snakes? I really want a hognose but they're illegal in my state :(
Can you make one where you list which are the best lizards that like to be handled? Like the breaded dragon can sit on your shoulder for instance
