Blue tongued skinks are a lot like this too. The good boys of the reptile world for sure

A dog that sleeps half the year tho 😂

@@smokinokin66 I don’t know as much about them. It’s all skinks, ball pythons and gargoyle geckos for me

@xxprettylittlethings Is your ball python affectionate? I was just wondering, as I had a reticulated python that was rather friendly.

I've never seen one before. He's obviously got a ton of personality. And this family is awesome. These videos and Anna Breytenbach have definitely expanded my love for animals to include so many other species. ❤❤❤

Good thing he's not a gator...then he'd always be the big spoon.

NO kid should ever be using the term "Little Spoon" EVER!

@@zoa1-99....... ? lol

@@untetheredmoon6971 Look up "spooning" and you'll get it.

@@zoa1-99....... stop trying to sexualize children sleeping with their pets. No one else thought of a sleeping position being referred to by a child as being something sexual except you. Maybe seek help.

AMEN!! 🤍

Go kiss a Komodo Dragon.

@@paulklein6337 that’s what you came here to say?

@@weakanklesfornamjoon No need to get snappy!

@@paulklein6337 this is an odd conversation. Peace ✌️

Thank you so much! She plans on being a herpetologist ❤

Same here 4 sure 🙏

Yessss! My people! Thank you ❤

I just want to know what is going on in their lizard brains

@@CBRN-115 honestly same. For the most part I believe we do know reptiles are primarily instinctual, but it's kinda unclear when you have some that are mostly very very simple, and others like tegus, ball pythons, some garter snakes (like ringnecks, who are colony snakes that are shown to actually be able to communicate together and actually seem to enjoy company from their own kind!), Some turtles, and hell even king cobras who are absurdly intelligent either strategically, or emotionally. It's honestly probably a case of humans completely missing the marker when it comes to judging other types of animals, rather than reptiles being inherently less capable of emotions or intelligence. We tend to base our ideas on what our mammal brains do, rather than observing and understanding that different types of brains exist and can function differently, but may give similar results. Also I just wish I knew what most animals thought tbh. Dogs especially, dogs baffle me at times lmao.

I honestly believe that trust is the ultimate form of reptile love. They don't generally seek out affection like a dog or a cat would, but the fact that you can pick up a lizard or a snake and have it relax in your arms instead of running away or going on the defense is wild. It probably goes against every bit of their instinct, to remain motionless while a giant creature handles them. That's why I believe that it has to be love. What else can cause such an irrational reaction?

Weird I haven't seen one comment like that!

@@kaiyamya9882 That's the thing, you can't actually tame or domesticate a reptile, and, they being creatures of instinct, earning their trust is a very gratifying achievement. Once this is done, you see their innocence. They are very much like scaly babies, except with jaws and claws.

I love lizards, too!

I love lizards and I have a gecko :D

Reptiles in General ❤❤

Same! 😊❤

And I love you

It’s so cute💖💖💖

👍 👍 good

mine came from Ally with Emily & Ed at Snake Discovery :)

@@beasty909Cool! Never heard of them, do they have a KZfaq?

Absolutely. On my TikTok I always include that info on my posts. This video was a trim down from over 30 minutes of talking so much of it got left out as well :)

Lol! 😂

Hahaha it fits right into our family for several reasons 😂❤

❤❤❤❤ thank you so much

I was wondering what that was, thanks for clarifying, might do that in the future😊

this made me chuckle :)

Thank you! For the comment and for always speaking on behalf of reptiles.

We have one of those too! He’s definitely friendly but not nearly like this.

Thank you! He loved me first before he moved on😂 Although he’ll still let me snuggle him- as long as it’s while on his way to Mads.

More than likely Emily from snake discovery, oh new England, yep probably Kevin

No, the sanctuary is in MA. But I’m very grateful to call the people at NERD my friends. I met Kevin after I initially got over my fear but I’ve learned lots from him.

Thanks, and so glad to hear you are friends with Kevin and the good people at NERD.
