Being into reptiles my entire life, I NEVER knew these existed..HOW?!? They're literally mini dragons!

Yay so glad more of them are alive and well in your care!

Oh my gosh! Their vocalizations are so adorable!

My Chinese Water Dragon Rex used to always sit on my shoulder on the sofa watching TV. There was always something wonderful about coming home from a long day at work, opening his viv and him jumping out onto my should and settling there to watch TV. It was like he was saying he'd missed me lol. Sadly he passed in 2018 but my new one Hunter is following in his footstep except using my head!

Thank you so much for watching everyone! I hope you enjoyed this little update on Sonny, Sappy and their family! I'm thrilled to see that their family is not only thriving but GROWING! Don't forget to answer today's question of the day! :) Thank you so much to all my Reptiliatus Channel Patrons over on Patreon: www.patreon.com/Reptiliatus for making videos like this possible! Your support has helped fund things like new filters, tanks, and more for the crocodile skinks :)!

That sassy one is so stinking cute! I'm so glad you've started this project and share Sonny and Sappy with us. With every video I love these tiny dragons so much more. I really hope that these guys start being captive bred more. Thank you for letting us love them with you.

For never being handled, they seem awfully comfortable with it. I didn't notice any accelerated breathing or other obvious signs of stress.

I’m very shocked I always heard red eye crocodile skinks are never great handlers and stay dead still if you pick them up but it seems like even your adults don’t have much of a problem and move plenty it shows how good of a owner you are and your socialization skills I’m very impressed

They all look excellent. The babies are adorable.

These beautiful skinks have barely any coverage online. I fell in love with them and canr wait to have the opportunity to create a colony

When ever you come to sappys enclosure she knows it’s time for some food

Just had a really rough day. I’m really thankful for you uploading and cheering me up a bit❤️

My most unique experience was with my kingsnake I was sitting on my chair as he was out and gt climbed up the chair sat on my lap and went to sleep it showed me that they know their owners

Red eyed crocodile skinks really are fascinating creatures and they really trust you especially sappy

Never heard of these before. Had the blue tail and red tail in the yard. Very interesting

I was gifted a teeny, tiny Bearded Dragon. I named her Monster. She was so small when I got her that she weighed nothing ... not even detectable in my hand. Monster grew to be a little more than 15 inches. My best memories of her was taking her to my little plot in a community, organic garden. After everyone had cooed over and petted her, I would let he loose in the plot. She would run around from plant to plant, taking a big bite out of each, until she found one she really liked. She usually decided on Mustard Greens. She would lay there in the shade of the plant and lazily snack on it from time to time. She always enjoyed an outing to the garden so she could watch the world go by. I miss her every day!

QOTD answer: The first time my leopard gecko Chip chose to crawl up onto my hand was my most unique experience, as he was my first reptile, and I hadn't had him long either. It was so lovely to know he found me safe!

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I had the one of the worst days and those sweet little “toothless” faces fixed all the the things. Thank you ❤️

My heart exploded from adorable baby dragons

Wholesome. We like wholesome. Those vocalisations make them beyond adorable

I see you like to live dangerously starting that siphon. 😂

Absolutely beautiful reptiles. Thank you for the time you have invested in these.

For the question of the day, I have Herman, one of my c.mitratus,who loves me to give him a drink from a dropper or water off my fingers, he uses his water bowl too but one day a while ago when i was watering plants he decided he liked licking water off my hand and seeks it out now ,so it's a cool thing, surprised me as I don't ever handle him ...glad to see the little dragons doing so well 😊

It's so fun watching the little ones chase the crickets down

Dude I love your passion of these reptiles. I can tell they are so well taken care of by you. No half way decent enclosures only the best Care and dedication to work with them

It seems like You have such a kind and soft spoken personality. I really enjoy your content! Thanks for sharing I can’t wait to see more of these little ones!

Awesome man! I’ve always loved this reptile and I kno they’re more of a rare one. Have never seen anyone successfully breed them n have the luxury of watching hatchlings grow along side their parents! Very lucky

Great video! Such a treat to view these beauties up close!

Wow their amazing . They really do look like little dragons 🐉 awesome job with the filter 👏🏻 I make bridges and hides out of paracord crocheting . Seeing my pet crested geckos , gargoyle and Chahoua gecko use them & feeding them is the best interaction 😊

So the pumps often just need to have the impeller magnet pulled out and cleaned, and then the area where it's seated. Usually some grit or soil gets in there and interrupts the magnetic connection, so just washing it out and cleaning the impeller, rod, and magnet will fix it completely. You could add some filter sponge to stop some of that buildup.

Amazing. Very educational. It’s obvious you are enjoying them.

I love these cute skinks, the babies are extra cute too. I like watching them eat and seeing the eggs hatch.😍❤️👏🏼👍🏻 Sonny and Sappy are such good parents.

Your video's make me so happy. Especially this adorable little skink family. I can't stop smiling.

Love this family so much!! So dang cute! ❤❤🐳🦖🦩🐍🦎🕷🐋🦃🐊🐢🦊🦚🐅🐸🦋🦧🦜💯🤗😘

Wonderful video! Loved seeing the progress of your REC skink family!

Crocodile skink is spot on. They’re pocket crocs

So cute! I have a pair myself, and they just had a baby. I´m so happy!

Red eyed croc skins are adorable

For my pet reptile interaction. I've had a Bearded Dragon, named Archimedes, for about 15 years now. When I moved into my new home and got everything set up, I decided I'd let him have a chance to move around. So first I gave him a bath to make sure he didn't track any dirt around, and hopefully would poop in the bath rather than my floor, and then after I dried him off I opened up the bathroom door so he could go out a explore. However he took a few steps out of the bathroom, looked left then right and ran right back to me amd hopped into my lap. It was such an amazing moment to see that he viewed me as a safe place when he was nervous about his new surroundings.

This video always cheers me up! Lovely little beasties.

Hello great video update and cleaning and rehousing Dayyan

I’ve never seen these lizards before. Crazy they like such a moist environment.

Awesome update on the Skink family, amazing creatures 👍❤😁

These little fellas are so adorable whilst still having a pretty strong little presence. So cool!!!!

The most unique experience I’ve had was probably taming my savannah monitor when he finally dropped his fear and started to become more confident.

Feeding my Amazon Milk Frog babies for the first time was a blast, their bright blue mouths are hilarious!

I have a D&D character based off red eyed crocodile skinks! Love them!!!

I was mesmerized by this video ❤️ Such beautiful animals!

I am so glad to see them all doing well! I love seeing updates on these amazing creatures! I truly think that getting one is going to be the next on my list.

My bearded dragon followed me around my house like a ragdoll cat, especially in the summer. Sadly she passed away last year.

I’m loving them already

Amazing. I really enjoy seeing these guys. Thanks for sharing.

Still super stoked for the breeding project! Can't wait to see how you grow with it. Hope to have my hands on 1 or 2 someday! (not in the sense of handling too much of course)

Never in a million years would I have believed that I would be watching channels with Tarantulas and mini-dinos. Last year I decided to challenge my fear of spiders and by watching you, Tarantula Kat and a few others, I am now ready to get a couple of T's and I desperately want a Bearded Dragon. The red-eye croc skink is so dang cute, the tiny noises they make, oh my, I love them. Thank you so much for sharing them us. ❤🦎

My leo trying to yeet herself out of existence off the kitchen table, after falling off said table.

These are the cutest baby dragons ever! I've been looking to get a pair myself.

That looks like a cute mini godzilla

Love the way you feeding them. I wanna doing like you do 🤭🤭. Awesome

Awww they look like little dragons c: i really enjoy your Videos because i love to draw and seeing your pets gives me inspiration!

I see the family growing by that thumbnail my man geico puttin that work in

When I had fishtanks I also had African dwarf clawed frogs. The little ones that do not grow larger.They are so cute . Easy to take care of, shallow slow moving water with lots of floating plant. frozen and live foods are good for them along with small pelets that sink.I had a half dozen of them in a 10 G tank. One night in spring Late April I think) I heard some high pitched chirping coming from their tank. The three males were singing for mates. By the end of the week they had paired up and were laying and fertilizing stings of eggs on the plants and driftwood. SAdly none of the eggs got fertilized (not sure why) and I had to remove them before they fouled the water. I was told if the eggs were fertile they would have developed rapidly into wrigling tadpole inside the egg gel. Mine never grew and never moved after a week and then the gel started to dissolve, so I netter them up and put them in the trash. They never mated again but the male would sing each Cpring or during thunderstorms and low pressure system passed over head.

They are extremely cute!! Thanks for sharing

Hi! I JUST discovered you! And I have never seen this species before! How INCREDIBLY AMAZING! I have always loved animals and have a fairly deep & wide knowledge base from a long lifetime of study, but these little guys absolutely inspired me. I’m excited to check out your channel- (I subscribed 😁). You yourself have a sweet & lovely disposition & manner, & are soothing to listen to. 😇 And MAN, have I got a reptile story for ya! In the 7th grade I use to take care of a 9th grade science class’ live animals (basically reptiles and rats). Had a student’s 14 ft python strike my hand & manage to get my entire hand in her mouth the first shot- TRUE STORY- & I stood there in shock & fascination WATCHING HER swallow my arm nearly to the ELBOW before my brain kicked back in & I called the teacher to the back room. Boy, did I become an instant rockstar around school! (1st & last time, too 🙄). And, Happy Ending for the snake, too. The teacher of course wanted to kill it immediately and I absolutely refused that! I taught him how to gently kind-of lift-forward-raise ease-lift-back (into my arm again), until we managed to slowly zig-zag her off of me. NOT an easy or a quick task, & excruciatingly painful - she left a lot of big teeth & holes in my arm- but I was SO happy that it worked out & he didn’t hurt her. ALL student snakes were no longer allowed at school, but the one that ATE me did fully recover in no time, as you’d almost expect. So. That’s MY reptile story!! 😎 Loved your video, the species, your knowledge and the obvious, amazing care you provide for the life & enrichment of these beautiful animals! Well done!!👍

I love the sound they make..lol

Great video, they look absolutly amazing and they really start to show alot more personality behind all the initial shyness, it's noticable how acclimated they have become through your interactions and care! Personally I love it when my snakes advance in obvious feeding response before realizing that I'm the smell that brings food and not the other way around, it's lovely when they get comforable and start to recognize you or atleast your presence at some level😂❤️ My tarantulas do the same when I'm refill water, but even if they are cute its not the same kind of recognition as with reptiles, amphibians or bigger animals in my experience^^

Water looked better then expected especially since you dnt mess with it often those plants do their job well

These creatures are amazing

I've never seen this type of Skink , they're so neat looking.

they are soooooo cute! i just wish i could go like POOF and a lot of them just rain down but i dont them to die- im just glad you took care of them really well.

What beautiful skinks these are. They're lucky to have you as a care taker

I had the friendliest red tail boa❤️ Beautiful boy too! Always had to say hello whenever I was near the cage.

The first time i saw these crocodile skinks in an aesthetic page on fb, i loved it! And that time was the last season of GoT drops

The red eye croc skink is amazing . I want one now !

I'm new to reptiles (more of an avian guy) but our corn snake will not eat unless he is holding one of us. We will still attempt to feed him in his enclosure but he prefers that he is held.

Omg these are so precious

You can put up some needle point mesh with some window screen on inside/outside in a sort of a fence around the filter. Can also somehow get filter floss (like pillow stuffing material) either in the filter or fence to help with clearing out the gunk and not having to buy a new filter all the time.

They look like little dragons it’s amazing

Loved the video! Since you generally never handle the croc skinks it must make occasions where you actually do hold them all the more rewarding! Also great detailed footage.

They are soooooo cute!

Mine is with my baby kingsnake - right after feeding her I was just putting in a clean water and even though she was clearly looking for another mouse, she then proceeded to climb on my hand like "hey I feel like exploring" - for such food motivated species of a snake she seems to realize the difference between fingers and actual food

They're so cute! I'm so glad they're all healthy and well. I was honestly surprised that Sunny was so chill... :D I was expecting him to freak out, and he was more ok with you picking him up than Sappy was xd

They are so beautiful 💕

haha great little dragons!!

(Question of the day) I was holding my veiled chameleon, when her tongue shot out and hit my forehead, it turned out a dragonfly landed on my face, and now they are now her favorite food.

Omg at first I thought the little dude was dead inside the filter omg lol so crazy that they get up in there to funny so freaking adorable though omg can't get I've how adorable they are ....there little scream they do lol that's just adorable omg

Those are cool first time to see those kind of skinks

Gorgeous creatures!

These animals are just so fricking awesome 🔥

Man I love them red eyed crocks, very cool
