This is not a reptile forum,This is just to show people that lizards learn and can even do tricks just like a dog would. I have even been able to train them to do an "obstacle" course made for one of my Cayman Brac rock iguanas, the smartest reptile species I have ever trained. I believe them to be the smartest reptile species in the world. Also I am one of the first successful people to breed Blackthroat Monitors ,Green Iguanas and Cayman Brac rock iguanas. I have worked with Mark Bayless on habitat and breeding techniques. I started before full blown internet, and most info was with dial up (aol) I have been raising lizards for over 50 years steady and have had great success with my lizards. Thanks for watching my videos and I hope they can stimulate your mind on the possibilltes on what reptiles can do.
Smartest Reptile Species?
So I was trying to upload some pictures for Morph Market of the hatchlings I have this year for sale, but for some reason I cant at this time upload pictures. So if you want one of the smartest reptile species ever recorded in your collection, the last 2 hatchlings I have are going for 350 plus shipping.

The Baby Bit Me!
Переглядів 3,3 тис.8 місяців тому
Well I have been hatching Cayman Brac rock iguanas again this year, not as many as usual but 5 so far with 3 to go. You can see one just piped to the right of the iguana half out of the egg. Cyclura Nublia Caymanensis is a rare rock iguana from the Caribbean islands and I found to be the smartest reptile ever recorded. With the ability to do stunts or tasks on command, as seen in my videos.
My Tiniest Lizard on My Biggest Lizard
Переглядів 1,4 тис.8 місяців тому
Looking at this video I wondered just how small the babies of the smallest lizard in the world, the nano-chameleon and what do they eat. This lizard an Asian house gecko is a baby that's on Artemis and is 1 and 3/4 inches long . The nano-chameleon reaches 1.5 inches as an adult, so just how are them babies? ! As you can see my babies are hatching and I have 3 out of the egg now.
My Tiniest Lizard
Переглядів 2 тис.9 місяців тому
We have a species of Gecko moving into the central valley and I think its great! They eat insects like ants roaches and the like, so we need them here. I hope people dont start killing them like they do the iguanas in Fl. I like how some Geckos are almost transparent. This Mediterranean Gecko is a young one, and I think they only have 2 eggs per clutch. I sometimes catch 2 or 3 a day in my yard...

Well its about time! I finally have an area to train my iguanas in the lizard barn. Its an area 4 ft by 8 ft , so I can train through out the winter. I have Artemis and Lucky in there now, but I can use it for all training purposes. Lucky is about will be laying eggs soon and Artemis will be going into the training yard. I have a couple hours clean up tomorrow and later tonight when it gets coo...
Iguana Understands

I wonder how many people read the description. Anyway I hope to see some of you train your lizards voice commands. They really do understand, and some of you might have more time then me. I am expanding my lizard barn this week, so the area Artemis is in will be indoors and I will have more time to train him and Lucky along with the others. Having more room indoors will let me teach them year r...
Rock Iguanas Thats Been Handled and Tame
Переглядів 1,4 тис.11 місяців тому
Well its summer! Now I get to do my little expansion on the lizards barn for more room. Most of the barn will be for Lucky and Artemis, but all the others will also get more room and sunshine because of the sunbathing area I am putting in. Anyway this video shows the difference from handled and unhandled rock iguanas. Cayman Brac rock iguanas.
Rock Iguanas Thats Never Been Handled
Переглядів 1,2 тис.11 місяців тому
This is a video of 2 year old Fred and 7 year old Babyfingers. I have never handled these iguanas except to move them from cage to cage. It shows that even if you never handle them they will become tame in a few years, tame enough to pet anyways :) With a little work these will become quite tame. In the next couple weeks I will be adding another room to the barn and these two will be as tame as...
Iguana Buddy Knows Voice Commands
Переглядів 3,2 тис.Рік тому
Although I lost Buddy to pesticide poisoning, this was one reason I continued with my Advanced Voice Training Technic. If you watch the video all the way through, you can see him thinking and figuring out his path to the barn. It does take some patience to train reptiles because we still dont know just how they understand words from the human language. Buddy was one of my most intelligent repti...

Showing the little girl hatched 09/06 2022. The last of my babies going to good homes. They make great pets and I believe to be the smartest reptile species in the world!

Iguana Sophies Girl Baby

I should have loaded this video first, but its just to show how tame my babies are for the great new homes they are going to. I believe all the babies have found great new homes now, one even has a wooden or plastic hamster wheel in his cage. That was a new one for me to see! The little guy seems to love it! I might get a few for mine. Luckily some are going to be in pairs which is very good fo...

Real quick I misspoke I meant to say I spray them from head to end of tail, not toe:) Anyway this might be the last clutch of Cayman Brac rock iguanas we produce. It was an ideal I got 15 years ago to just keep the Cyclura Nubila caymanensis (Sister Isle rock iguanas) going into the pet trade. They are a threatened species and need to stay pure. I have been lucky enough to sell 3 pairs, and may...

Most of the babies from Artemis and Lucky have gone and are going to new homes. I have 3 left and my not have any babies next year. All the babies belong to Artemis and Lucky with one being from Artemis and Sophie. These are the 2022 babies.

Handling My Young Rock Iguanas Tutorial
Переглядів 1,1 тис.Рік тому
If you happen to get one of my little ones, then this is how I would recommend starting off , even from the first day. I did forget to mention when these little ones are out in a bigger cage it will take a little longer for them to get used to their surroundings. But it shouldnt stop you from doing this kind of handling. I guess I get a little complacent with them after 50 years off raising igu...

Young Cayman Brac Rock Iguanas in the Sun
Dave you never fail to amaze me with hiw you train them. It's also amazing that he knew the difference between you calling for him to come to you and you calling him to go do the obstacle course. For him to know the difference is crazy because they both sound the same whether you're calling him or telling him to do something It's really cool he knew the difference.
I don’t even need to ask where this is , but this is why I love Florida
I love when people give their female animals commonly 'masculine' names. Same goes for the opposite
hes well fed
What a smart dog.
My iguana Godzilla also had a large portion of his tail missing from slamming it against stuff like a whip.. it eventually developed a large club-like mass on the end, and never broke again, and it hurt like one of those short, stiff, leather whips.
Yeah he's hungry you fed him something off camera. He comes running because you have food 🥑
People that say that of which there our hundreds never watched my channel of the best trained lizards and reptiles ever recorded in the world! ua-cam.com/video/QGB7028ProU/v-deo.html Unbelievable training. Thanks for watching
So cute😂❤
Pokemon 😂
He just came for food , reptiles can't be termed
ua-cam.com/video/QGB7028ProU/v-deo.html Nuff said! Thanks for watching
"if i had a penny for every time i knew someone naming their lizard a male name, only to later theyre female, but keep the name, id have 2 pennies, which isnt a lot but its weird that it happened twice"
Yeah, I have been wrong twice too! But I can do this!! ua-cam.com/video/QGB7028ProU/v-deo.html Thanks for watching
he nodded :O
0:43 write this guy well done to it but when it nodded his head and open up his mouth it is sending a sign language message the nodding head is asking how are you
Bih hungry😂
New Animation: How to train your Lizard?
I had a pet green iguana that acted the same way towards me... head bobbing.... and wanted to chase me around as soon as it saw me or heard me... I even had to be careful when petting him just as you can (clearly see) this guy does too right as a lizard approaches him with his mouth open ... because if you don't the lizard will 100% bite you because it's not coming up to you because it likes you or wants your attention or even food from you it's coming up to you because it's a boy and it wants to dominate you and kick you out of its territory 🤦♂️ tho as u can ALSO clearly see (man handling) them or petting them hard does stop them from wanting to dominate OR bite simply because they get (confused) 🤤 so to everyone out here who thinks this lizard loves this guy sorry to burst your bubble but if you want a lizard with actual intelligence that possibly could actually enjoy human interaction get yourselves a very large monitor lizard 👍 cause big dumb iguanas like this although they are really cool animals if you're experienced, they're basically just a robot, eat poop sleep reproduce thats ALL they understand lol
Wow! You really know your lizards! Except for the intelligence and affection. Of course I guess you never visited my channel, with the most intelligent , well trained and maybe even show a little "affection." And I suppose you dont have enough time or patience to look over my channel so I'll throw you up one you can click on and go right to, but you have to promise to come back here and comment again. ua-cam.com/video/QGB7028ProU/v-deo.html Of course most people don't come back after seeing Artemis the best trained and most intelligent reptile ever recorded! Yes a Cayman Brac rock iguana. If you do come back and comment, please share a video of one of them dumb ole monitors doing anything besides chasing some dumb target around a cage! So sorry, my bubble has never been busted! And IF you come back I will even show you a video of me sticking my hand in this Highly intelligent Cayman Brac rock iguana Buddy, in the video you are currently watching. Plus plenty of videos of my trained lizards, that are very TAME! Thanks for watching
about as social as the lizards in DC...
hey 911? my dog aint doging
А голос у чувака какой противный!!! Я полумал, что это у животного такой!!!
"What kind of dog is this?"
Imagine a reality, where humans had these instead of dogs.
It looks gross & I doubt reptile has the intelligent or just their instincts .
I have a few videos that prove they are very intelligent, like this one of this Cayman Brac rock iguana Artemis does an obstacle course! ua-cam.com/video/QGB7028ProU/v-deo.html something never thought possible. Thanks for watching
He’s smiling! Love it!
Awwwww
Those hands could be washed.
What in Godzilla
i want pet lizard too. that's actually interesting how different animals differently react to excitement.
Note to self. Wear gloves!!! Thanks man. I don't need to get burned to believe that the stove is hot.
how is buddy doing?
Yup. That's a pretty fucked up looking dog

Always hungry.

That's more of a cat greeting 💚

marriage? nah a nice house? nah this is my life goal right here
Aorry to break this to you, but it came over thinking it would be fed. It's a reptile, it doesn't have feelings (empathy is exclusive to mammals so yes, farm cows have feelings)
Sorry to break this to you, but I train these lizards to do stunts never thought possible by the most people. Like this one doing an obstacle course with just voice commands ua-cam.com/video/QGB7028ProU/v-deo.html plus many more amazing stunts my lizards have been taught! The Amazing Cayman Brac rock iguana, smartest reptile ever recorded on the internet. Thanks for watching
@@DaveDurham Well done and I appreciate your work. The lizard greeted you exactly because it has been trained, not because it has feelings though, that's the difference. They sure seem smart!
@@stanzapalny2123 Emotion? I havnt figured that out if reptiles have emotion. So I hoped you watched the video of the obstacle course with Artemis, because when I taught Lucky to do the obstacle course she wanted to hang out with me instead of doing the course, but she was smart enough to know I wanted her to do the course, and finished. I do have a lot of videos of Lucky giving affection, or at least wanting to be with me. I even take eggs from her while she is still in the nest, pretty unheard of with this species. I will post the url of the video.
url ua-cam.com/video/DfNZOG71OWM/v-deo.html Lucky doing the course. "Rock Iguanas can become Attached" @stanzapalny2123
Gotta say, I enjoy these videos! Hope every has been going smoothly for ya man! I enjoy watching stuff with reptiles so this is one of my must watch channels.
If I endure this disgrace, I’ll be given a nice treat
Hes doing head bops. Thats a happiness thing
That's a crocodile. Bugger I bought the wrong one.😭👍😭🇦🇺
*Stop smacking them… They like to be pet/rubbed not smacked.*
I happen to think they like being patted! Since I am the best reptile trainer in the world I have learned how these lizards think and what they like. Thanks for watching
@@DaveDurham *They submit to you, that’s why!! So you can act like you ‘know it all’ all you want!!* 😊
Hey I am getting a reply! And yes I am saying I am the best trainer of reptiles in the world because there has been no reptile trainer in the world to have reptiles do stunts like this ua-cam.com/video/QGB7028ProU/v-deo.html using voice commands having a lizard do an obstacle course outside, with no food involved. Of course its not just one stunt or one reptile, its with multiple reptiles doing lots of stunts using only voice commands. So hey thanks for the reply and thanks for watching!
Be careful, lizards can turn on you...😳😳😳😳
