When Simba is better at fetch than my dog.... adorable!

I missed that guy, you can tell you and him have a special bond by the way he interacts with you.

"Can you stay in the frame?" "BALL BALL BALL BALL BALL!"

I never knew that Simba was such a ripped stud!🤣 Seriously though, he is lovely.

I like how he plays with his toy ball the whole time

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?

"Oh Hi Tortollini" OH MY GOSHHHH what a great name for him! Hahaha the best! 🐢🐢🐢

Simba is 1000% less likely to bite you than my toddler is xD

he’s much bigger than i thought! he’s wonderful and behaves like a little doggo

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!!!

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 😁!

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!

I'm setting a timer for this

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

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..

I'm so happy I found your videos! So informative. I gained a deeper respect for reptiles. 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 ✌️ ✌️🙏✌️💛✌️🙏✌️

He is adorable!

Great educational video with a lot of Simba-playtime.😄 Awesome.👍

Love how he was looking all around then boom he sees his ball and bam!

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!!

Wow just noticed that you're almost to 100k subscribers! So cool!

Hi animal 1 guy. Love all you’re videos

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!!!👍👍👍

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

So excited to see Simba! Yay!!

Aaah my favorite lizard 🥰🥰

Can’t believe how much he’s grown !! Yay Simba 😍

Love your videos so much information

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.

He's so precious 😍

Simba' is an absolute unit

Simba…such a well mannered gent 👍❣️

Oh my goodness! Simba has gotten so big! Such a handsome dude🧡

Love this videos

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.

He's SUCH A GOOD BOY

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!

Can't wait.....even I am soooo tired.....

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 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.

You had me at lizard belly 😍😍😍

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!

Hi! Love Simba 😍👏

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. 💙🌻

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

Good video

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!

Tortellini is MY BAE!!!!

I know that I will never own a reptile after watching your channel. Thank you for your work.

Hes so cool!

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....🦎🐢🐍🐸🐊

He can care less about what you are doing as long as he can get his ball. It's so cute.

Love Simba!!!!!❤️

Your turtle is jealous it’s not been in a featured video lately.

Nice video Reptiles. Good pets animals. monitor 👍

Yay my favorite little dude! (Not so little anymore haha) ❤️

I own a Savannah monitor and she is really chill but also very Curious

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

Wow that lizard is big. I thought it was small until you pet it then I could see a comparison. Yikes.

❤️

TURTLE BUTT!!!!! lol

He is Amazing!! Very handsome!

He beautiful love have have one like him but got another reptile lol

I love your videos and I really want a lizard

👍👍👍👍👍

Trying so hard to swallow that toy! Good puppy.

Bigger lizard, bigger brain, bigger train.

Simba!!

He is so handsome 😍

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 :(

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 want such a lizard too !!!

Hey I just recently got a rescue sav could I write u for some tips

💙🦎

Hi

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

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?

Bigger brain, easier to train he says. I wonder when dinosaurs existed if something had trained those bad boys

No, they're just big-boned. *badumtsh*

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.

He's looks scary trying to kill that ball

Wait why why my comment got deleted 😯😭😢😧✌

HE THICC

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

Have you started your diapause yet?

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
