Every once in a while, you come across something so amazing, you just have to share it. Well, I'm sharing it...
I've been keeping all sorts of monitors lizards since the 80s. Niles, savanna's, waters, mangroves, dumerils, black throats, and most recently red ackies. I love the whole family and have studied them for years. Decades. I was sitting in my car at work today avoiding the rain, and this came up in my YT feed. Never have I seen something so well done, so thorough, so complete, so well executed with visual aids, graphics, still photos, and videos that perfectly illustrate every detail of what is being taught, and entertaining too. I don't know who this guy is or why I've never found this before, but I'm glad I found it now. I've made it to part five, and there is SOOOOOOO much that I did not know. Watching the details of his videos is bringing back tons of memories of me seeing these signs and not recognizing what I was seeing. The video is primarily about lace monitors which have always been a favorite of mine, but I thought they were near impossible to get. Only recently, in the last few years, have I learned otherwise. Someday I will have this species, and I will refer back to these videos to learn more. The videos also show other species and give helpful info for them too. He specifically mentions V. albigularis, which is my current species, and gives helpful info for them too.
There are 9 videos in this series, and it looks like a bunch more videos on interesting subjects from this same guy. I intend to watch them all. If you like monitors lizards, just the footage alone is worth the watch, even if you have no intention of ever breeding them. If breeding them is your goal, I have seen no other info source that even comes close to this one.
