The kids at your presentations are going to love that name :'D
"So excited to have a Surprise baby!!" is not a phrase one would normally expect to hear
I'm mentally 5 years old and "Terd" has got to be the best thing I've heard all day.
Aww Terd looks like a teeny tiny dragon :-)
PinkChucky15 please make a video about parotlets
PinkChucky15 haha terd...
My daughter called her red eyed skink toothless. She makes the most amazing vocalizations. She is very spoilt, my daughter looked after reptiles at college so she's in good hands 😍
Hers sits by the glass waiting to come out. She has isopods as her clean up crew. And she enjoys coming out to see people and even eats from your hand 😍
Eats from your hand! Wow. What are isopods? You should ask your daughter to make a video showing her coming out to see people, eating from their hand, and making the vocalizations! If she does, let me know!
I'm so glad my parents didn't call me Terd.
i have a cat named mikey and i was like when did he start yt
THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME GET MORE INFORMATION ON MY BABIES! My girl just laid an egg 🤗
I love that you had a surprise baby skink! I unsuccessfully tried to produce offspring from my two bearded dragons for about a year when I was younger. We had a few clutches that ended up dying before hatching, even with what we thought were optimal incubation conditions. We tried upping the calcium intake of the female because it seems like the eggs just weren't strong enough, and that's what we had read might work. I'm still happy to see this and was surprised it could happen so naturally, and I love your channel!
Every time I see someone hold a small animal, I imagine that they think they just survived near death when they get let go
I imagine they do until they are tamed and understand you aren't going to hurt them. When I set my tiny dwarf hamster down she just jumps around looking for me to hand her a treat :P
imagine what its like to wake up and your balls are cut off. X(
My neighbors dog got his leg amputated (cancer). Imagine what he thought
The lengths you go to ensuring all your animals' comfort in their habitats in so inspiring. Thanks for being so awesome!
Awwh your happiness and excitement is contagious! Hope baby Terd grow healthily and happily ♥
When I could have fish I had a 55 gal fresh water community tank with a mini school of Hatchetfish. Like AnimalWonders I made sure to make them as happy as possible, but fish can have some very specific needs before they'll even attempt to breed so I never thought I would get any babies... Sure enough all of a sudden two of the fish broke away from the school and had a little tiny baby with them! It was really cool seeing how they parent since so many fish just birth and move on, or some times eat the babies, but both parents were glued to their baby and would constantly watch it. So cool to watch!!
They are ADORABLE
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE CHANNEL!!!!! I told all of my friends to sub and watch you and they did!
Your joy gives me joy
You seem like such a happy person, I love it
I love Red Eyed Crocodile Skings.
Thanks for showing us some little reptile critters!
I love your enthusiasm
OMG THEY ARE TOO CUTE!
I'm grateful to be part of this generation for those reasons too :)
They're so cuuuute!
He is the cutest every
Thank you for posting an awesome video about the new addition to the collection. I laugh at the name and think it is totally appropriate for how you found the Lil Terd, lol.
My Red Eyes Crocodile Skink's name is Lizzie. The name is partly from the movie Rampage and partly from the loss of a family member. Anywho, it fits her.
I saw the bioactive change over video first and am glad that I checked this one out, too.
Keep up the amazing work!
So cute!!!
Love your videos
Yay! a sort-of update on the dragons! I'd been wondering what was going on with them since their introduction.
Makes me proud to be the owner of a young captive bred female!
Congratulations!
the birds: *AAAAAAAAAAAAA EEK EEK EEK AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!1!1!1!!!!1!1!1!1!!1!!!!!*
Thanks for the video very educational 👍👀👍
Terd is the best name omg
Same here !! I agree 😂😂
These species are growing on me.
She is married! She seems like a handful. Lots of strong opinions and she is probably right about everything. God bless her husband!
Terd sound more like turd to me! XD
Btw they are super adorable! I love how dragon like the crocodile skinks look! I love the orange rings around the eyes! And I think terd is super cute! He/she is so small and adorable!
Awesome! :D I love these guys!
TOOTHLESS! why not call them toothless they are so cute and it a BABY DRAGON!
sean statham my daughter called hers toothless, I mean, she couldn't call it anything else really lol they look just like dragons 😍

@@rubymimosa what does + mean? Not trying to be rude LOL
I like the name Terd, but if *I* was naming him, I would have called him just that: Baby Dragon!
9:20 Top notch segue
this vid wins the interwebs. a skink named terd? this is childrens book material. and you are absolutely lovely. i subbed and liked and notified on:}
Holy crap Terd is adorable :)
I adore red eyed croc skinks but don’t think I’d ever get one. They all look lovely and healthy. Could you do a reptile room tour? Your set ups for them all look so beautiful from what I can see and it’d be great to see who’s hiding out in them.
❤️ crocodile skink
Awesome!! :) ❤️❤️
hahahaha sorry Jesse that name came out of nowhere, caught me off guard xD
I really appreciate your videos and your passionate and intelligent care of all your precious animals. I would love to know where you got that black t-shirt with the crow on it?? Thanks for all you do!
I love the name:) 🦎
I love Teri!
I love the name Terd!
terd is the best pet lizard name i have ever heard
When you get an unexpected baby and are surprised by its presence
Smaug and Puff. I love it, but Terd? How about Dert? Not so, um, poopy sounding. 😊
or "she/he/it" since the gender is unknown, as in sh*t with two more syllables :D poop soundin' is great.
You are a smith of word :)

TERD is an anagram for RED TYRANT. Best name ever
I've had a baby red eye cracked skin now for 2 months and I have not seen it eat he's looking a little dry so I threw him in his little water dish and try to force feed him calcium powder with chopped up mealworms but he doesn't open his mouth any recommendations
Good luck Terd.
Oh! Did y’all specifically obtain Smaug and Puff to learn best practices for care? I know you’ve bred animals in endangered programs before and wondered if this was a “oops, these are gaining popularity; not an ambassador candidate but without affecting our program we can welcome a couple to learn more about them”.
rubymimosa Yes, pretty much exactly this. :)
I am very interested in what you would think of as a forgiving reptile species suitable for someone without much experience. I know that a lot of species that pet stores and unscrupulous sellers say are appropriate for beginners... aren't. So where do you start if you want to begin keeping reptiles?
some common beginners include: leopard geckos, crested geckos, bearded dragons, ball pythons, & corn snakes! :)
Hi... so i did a bad thing, you see its my budgies first day at my house and i was realy excited and i started to sing to then and they seemed to like that but then i decided to try to grab one and it started nawing on my finger and drew blood... they are a lil mad at me now what should i do?
So was Terd born live? or from an egg? Would the adults have a nest built somewhere? or what? So cool that you finally have concrete proof they are doing well!
Terd....hahaha awesome!
How long do you have to keep Terd separated from its parents? Are the social creatures at all?
36 seconds ago, wild.
Do questions at the end
Hi iv recently got a baby skink. I feel like my tank isnt humid enough as quick as im spraying its dry again
Also everything is so small like the crickets how do i kmow he is eating well
Anything you could recomend would be great 😊
Moss
do croc skinks hibernate?
Wow I heard they're hard to breed so most of them are wild caught
How is he doing now?
Terd looks like a mini dragon
I would be interested to hear Jessi's take on the following: while things are getting better, there are countless "reptile collectors" who refuse to advance their techniques. I have personally been rebuffed by the owner of a store where two subadult reticulated pythons were cohabitated in a 2'x3' cage with one stick, one small tub with 1 inch of slimy water, and no hides. How do you deal with someone who refuses to change just because "that's how things have always been"?
How many babies?
Brilliant wee guy. Take good care of 'im.
Watch tho' -- really zzzippy & if decides to escape --- GONE!
Reminds me of visit to South Africa... geckos were everywhere... pub, house, livingroom, bathroom... just looking at you with wee beedy eyes & waiting for next fly!
Had to check our shoes every morning 😯😨 (for deadly spiders??.. No) for frogs.
All insects looked like clockwork toys, metalic & chunky 😜😃
Smaug!!! Lol
I´d be interested to hear why you got his parents; doesn´t sound like they were rescues and if the demand for them is so high anyway and they can´t normally used for presentations... I can´t come up with anything but "they´re adorable and I want them". And that´s probably not a thought that would impress you :-D
Sometimes they get animals that are less rescues and more overflow (e.g. Tika the turaco is from a zoo). Like, it's possible that someone selling reptiles had more than they could sell and so offered Animal Wonders the animals for cheap or free. In that case Jesse and Augusto would still have to make sure that the seller was legit and worth supporting. Also, just because they can't come out for public presentations, that doesn't mean they aren't used for animal education in other ways, like videos and maybe their summer camps.
I just learned a bunch from this video, therefore, good reason for them to have them😁
ITT there are two kinds of people. Those who like the name "Terd" and those that do not.
he so cute 😍
no wonder they're popular - they're basically tiny dragons.
wait do they grow to become crocs
I do not like the name, but love the baby.
Very cool! But is it truly the best to be housing the baby away from their parents? Or is this a species that doesn't provide their hatchlings with care anyways?
alicattor1469 The mother actually does protect her egg, but once hatched the parents could potentially eat or become aggressive and injure their young. Also, like I mentioned in the video, if kept in the large bioactive habitat, I'd have no idea if they were eating or pooping so I'd have no information on if they were thriving or starving because the parents were eating all the food available. Being able to count the food items eaten and the size and quality of the poops is essential. Edit: the parents do not help the young get food, so they're not needed to help the baby survived in captivity.
Hello i from to Indonesian
Did they just have one baby? I thought lizards use to have plenty of offspring!
What kind of name is TERD?!
Terd? This is what happens when let Hank name the animals!
Will it not affect the little guy to remove him from his parents? Or is that the natural behavior for the species to depart after birth?
Hi hi hi hi :
TERD lololol 😂😂 Im using that name in the future.
'Terd' is indistinguishable from... 'turd'... the slang term for fecal matter...
Cute tho!
Loving those they pronouns for our ambiguously sexed new friend. It's a small thing but it warms my heart.
Mage of Void
Are you okay? It's a lizard.
i know nothing about the reptile breeding and housing but it would seem to me if someone was scummy enough to sell wild captured Croc Skinks they certainly would be scummy enough to lie about it, so asking about it would seem mute
Love what you guys do, but in Australia, turd is poo - spelt differently but said exactly as you say it. oh dear!
Terd? Like a poop💩? Or is that turd?
lolol
crocodile shank?
Humperdoo skinks
It looks like it can fit perfectly in my little hands.
Question.
How do you go about "anti captivity" activists?
Do they bash you for what you do for these animals?
Do you even stumble across these activists before and was questioned about what you do?
Just curious because i wanna be like you one day and i wanna know how to educated people like them and let them know that im helping the animals,not harming them.

I could be preaching to the choir in this comment section, but please, please, please do your research before getting a pet, especially an exotic pet. Understand the animal's needs and personality. Consider how long they live. Is the animal social or solitary? Can you afford everything the animal needs to be happy and healthy? Is there a vet who specializes in the species you are considering? Do they need someone to be around most of the time are are they fine in an empty house while you're at work? Many, many things to consider while picking out the type of pet that is right for you. (This includes fish)
Well you'd be stressed out too if someone just got done telling the whole internet your name was Terd..
Thanks for using "they" instead of "him" this time :)
Why? If you don't know, defaulting to male is fine.
Eric Taysom and defaulting to they pronouns isn’t bad
It's not bad, it's confusing. They is for plurals so it sounds like you're talking about more than one baby skink.
English lost its true gender-neutral pronouns sometime in Middle English. I don't know what idiot forget about them, but unless someone invents a new gender-neutral pronoun, English speakers are stuck with having to vaguely use 'they' to fill in, or simply use 'he'.
"they" isn't really that confusing if you understand the context. words aren't in a vacuum, they have other words and sentences and paragraphs around them, as well as visual clues if you're talking to someone. i do agree that it's annoying that we lost our old gender neutral pronouns, but "they" is probably the best to use instead of creating a new word no one uses which would be FAR more confusing than using "they". language and definitions evolve over time. sometimes they evolve in just a few years. also, "he" isn't really fine to use. We should probably stop using masculine pronouns and words as the "default" neutral.
First
I love terd! But the name sounds like poo....
Obvious shes not married
(just arrived) If he doesn't have a name, can you name him Oliver, in honor of my baby chameleon? He only had one eye from a birth defect and only lived for 7 weeks. Please consider! I would like Oliver to live on.
I can't say I understand why people want to keep animals as pets that not only have zero enjoyment of your company, but are also stressed out at the idea of being out and exposed. Fish are weird enough, but at least most fish are out on display and not hiding.
HAHA you misspelled turd
