Can you train a lizard?
A simple demonstration of the learning ability of a monitor lizard.
I should note that the monitors are only out for relatively short periods of time and usually signal when they want to return to bask (when their body temperature drops from ~36C to 32C) by walking up to the front of the enclosure, looking up at the glass and tongue flicking, at which point I lift them back in.
They are so adorable
That is awesome. and both of them are gorgeous animals 🙂
I’ve got a crested gecko hoping one day to get 2 of these
What cuties.
Yah reptiles are not slow they might move wonky but they’re smart like their relatives the reptilians
STONKS

I dont know why but reptiles could look out off a window for hours

Hey how do you stop your lacys to bite or hiss or whip or projectile you know onto you. I’ve got a big male lacy and he always does these things whenever he’s handled. Any tips for me?
scale dog
he looks like a good boy
my bearded dragon knows his name comes when called he’ll even follow me around the back yard. i started training him when he was really young. he figured out alot on his on. he’ll bob his head when he wants out
How are your sons.

What Alex is thinking when he waves”these are not the droids your looking for”
so you basically taught them to wave to you, HEY! OVER HERE!!
What breed is this?

My bearded dragon just runs into walls
I’m late to the video but I find it extremely interesting.
Cute
Off topic but that monitor is absolutely gorgeous
Nile Monitors are satan with a longer tail!
Yes.
Saves six minutes.
This was in my recommended for whatever reason and now I think I’m in love with this channel
I honestly didn’t know they had this capacity for intelligence..
Monitors are smarter than cats. Tegus are smarter than monitors.
Check out "Joseph Carter the Mink Man" he trains minks to hunt vermin but started training a Monitor to hunt vermin as well.
“Reptiles are often seen as slow dim witted animals”
Have you ever seen bearded dragons running into walls?
That Lizard raising his hand is the cutest shit I’ve ever seen 😂🥰
I think considering the reptile signed for you to open the cage, I’m pretty sure they trained you
so u thought them how to wave haha
i cant pin your accent
Really interestign stuff. I’ve noticed something vaguely similar with my Royal python. Generally I think he’s pretty stupid, but when he’s hungry he sits in his Viv in a certain position with most of his body out of a hide and his head elevated on a log. I fed him once when he did this out of coincidence, but after a few months I now clearly see this as him signalling that he’s hungry, and he waits there to be fed.
Signalling might be the wrong word, it might be just as likely that he understands that food appears more when he’s in that area compared to other areas, which would be useful behaviour for hunting in the wild. But it’s interesting nevertheless, especially coming from a snake, all of whom are considered less intelligent that lizards
What an absolutely beautiful pair of lizards you have! Simply stunning, and so clever too!!! 😍
weird looking dogs, still cute though
Lizard #1: Honey I think we got this human trained pretty well.
Lizard #2: Yeah keep it up babe!
Hello person who got this in their recommendations!
Incredibly well done – engaging, straight to the point and a thoroughly enjoyable video. Definitely innovative and one of the best reptile videos I’ve watched for a very long time!
cute dog
Did you train him? ……….Or did he train you….?
Mink Man has entered the chat…
Plot twist… The lizard is actually a genius, and he returns back to his enclosure to tell his lizard friend about how he’s trained a human to let him out of the enclosure.
Yes, one of them was even trained to found facebook.
Except for bearded dragons. Apparently those really are that stupid.
Or so I heard, anyway.
"daddy let me out , im bored!!!"
Reptiles are very smart, I have a Russian Tortoise who learned that he cant go through glass, waits at the food plate when he sees food and even memorized the layout of my house.
Instructions unclear- got trapped inside my lizard’s home and he took my car keys need help
I mean Hiccup did it
I love your lizards and I would die for them
The only creatures I thought of as “dumb” or “stupid” were common fish and bugs.
