Hi everyone! Hope you enjoyed today’s video! Please make sure you are subscribed and have all notifications turned on so that you don’t miss PART TWO of this series, where we’ll be setting up the breeding paludariums and introducing the crocodile skinks in quarantine from this video into them! Thank you for everyones support and viewership!
Where do you sale your reptile
Sell one to me and i will love to talk to you about it and reproduce them in very good and healthy conditions:)
I am able to buy one female without a tail. How do you think about that?
I have a large aquarium that I am considering to turn into a paludarium for these wonderful creatures.
Hey Dayyan, I’m looking for a good lizard breeder out here in bc, I’m in Kelowna, but can get stuff shipped from Vancouver area I’m sure, you have any recommendations? This is the toughest part of getting into the hobby I’m realizing. I don’t know who (breeders) to trust
Have you tried talking to Clint of Clint's Reptiles, Chandler of Chandler's Wildlife, Kenan from Camp Kenan, or NERD? I think with your stock these CZcamsrs would be more than willing to trade or help you get your stock!
Please keep the White Eye One they are even rarer than the Red Eye and She Is so pretty, in the future you might Also come across an import male for her
If you have the space I’d keep the extra female. Seems like you’re already attached and it could be a future breeding project.
Honestly I secretly wanted another video solely featuring red eyed crocodile sinks, so the fact that you’re dedicating an entire project to it puts the cherry on top for me
Have you tried talking to Clint of Clint's reptiles? I cannot imagine him not being interested in talking with you about this situation. These are some of the cutest lizards I've ever seen. And there is a lizard called the Stargazer. That is apparently is incredibly expensive but they look so much like a dragon without wings. And these little cuties that you've got have the same look to them as the Stargazer. That beautiful little dragon head is what I'm talking about. And don't get me started on those adorable eyes. Get a hold of Clint
I’d love to find a cb one I’ve known about them since I was in high school still havnt found any for sale
I agree! I bet Clint Laidlaw, of Clint's Reptiles, would love to discuss your project with you too!
@@Araisaa The Sungazer lizard
I think little miss Nova came to you for a reason! Even if she is just a pet. Super sweet little lady!
Completely agree she's lovely
I adore this little girl 💕
I feel like this will be a big thing. Everyone I know in the hobby wants a CBB croc skink, but no one can get one. Talk to other youtubers! I would love to see this channel get more love
I love my red-eyed crocodile skink. She's an amazing animal so I'm happy to see you doing a breeding project. This is the animal that brought me to your channel! I would love a mate for mine someday. I have no idea if mine was wild caught. Someone just handed her to me one day in a deli cup as a gift. I totally appreciate what you're doing for this species.
Btw... keep the beard 😉
I NEED that friend and that deli cup!!!!
😲 That's so exciting!!! I'm happy for you and this project! I hope you can get more hobbyists to take interest.
I love that little white eyed girl, so cute. She seems like she will have a sweet personality like Sappy (hope I spelled that right?) 😁
I respect your decision, and I think this will be an exciting opportunity.
You would
I really wish I could get one. They are just so rare and expensive. They truly are beautiful and amazing animals. Thank you for breeding them.
I sell one! Add me on Instagram: mikevdsloot
Nah, theyre cheap they are about $20-$25 here in Indonesia😂😂😂
@@benaiyahcainellephraim8383 yes all wc
Yeah some of them are wc and some dont you just need to find the right seller.
In Indonesia, we can get them with only 14-17 US dollar
You’re so close to 100K how exciting!!!
Thank you friend! ☺️🙏🏼
This is a fantastic project, great to see Dayyan and I’m excited to follow along with your journey acclimating these individuals and eventually breeding this species on a much bigger scale!
I totally support you! I think its extremely important to create access to captive born reptiles! I'm excited to see the journey!
Thank you very much! 🙏🏼
I am very excited for updates on this project :) also I think you should keep Nova just bc she seems like a sweetheart ♡ lol
I just wanted to say thank you. I recently acquired a Red Eye Crocodile Skink and your videos helped me to set up its tank. I followed your build step by step & absolutely love it. I still cant believe I found one of these guys locally cuz I have been looking for a while now.
My pleasure! Happy to help!
I just found your channel through this video. The fact that you have 2(!) Crocodile Skinks is so surprising to me. I want at least 1 in my lifetime, I think they are the most beautiful little creatures. I'm so glad you are making an effort to create more captive bred skinks!
Wishing you luck on these new breeders! I am so happy to hear you got them from port credit pets I literally just got mine on Thursday!!! Hes so healthy and just like sunny and sappy he’s bold enough to come out! Congrats Dayyan!
So happy that worked out for you!
I never comment but please keep her she was meant for you. The care you show is breathtaking the love for the hobby shows
You should keep the white eye, they’re a little more rare than the red eye and you might come across a male for her one day
HECK YES. Heck yes! When this takes off, I'm thinking Red-eyed Croc Skinks might be in my future. It'd be cool to get a network of folks together on this project.
Feel the same way, I was lied to about tokays I bought (said they were cb but were wc) and they went downhill and died quickly. Broke my heart, learned my lesson. Price reflects breeding and needs to be respected in the hobby. It's worth the money! 💜
Awww white eyed croc skinks are lovely!
very excited for this. I would definitely trust getting a captive bred sskink from you than anywhere else. Can't wait!
You and me both!
I think what you are doing is great! You are a very knowledgeable in what you do so sharing your experiences and knowledge will help others to look after their pets successfully. Keep up the great work.
I absolutely love the crock skinks!!! So excited for your breeding project!!!
Thanks!
Best of wishes going forward with this project and thanks for doing this, these beauty's deserve it!! Super jealous 😋
Much love! We have a pair of white eyed croc skinks and are expecting our first hatchling any day now.
And I totally think what your doing is really amazing and inspiring
You're a goddamned hero.
That’s flattering! I do my best!
Seriously speaking when I first saw those crocodile skinks I was thinking “man if I had some I would breed them” since no one is really breeding them in captivity. Amazing maybe you would consider selling groups in the future to serious breeders to make a bigger population
I love the look of crocodile skinks. What a great opportunity!
How exciting!!! Thank you for taking us along on your journey!
Some people don’t understand how beautiful some of these animals look
I got my first pair a couple months back and I’m getting a 2nd pair next month , I just discovered you’re channel and I’m so happy man ! I’m excited to start watching this series to the most recent one
Get a male,(white eye) and keep them as a novelty item. Sell or trade the babies as needed, you can still focus on your red eyes, while still doing a service for the other species.
Some of my best pets were accidents/"unwanted" animals. So keep the female, get her a mate, and carry on
She's a keeper for sure! Love your work
Awesome, got my first Red eye in November and two more last week. I'm addicted.
This video is an example for the skeptics. We keep these animals to reduce harm on native populations. Not EVERYBODY in the hobby is perfect, but those who deeply care should be doing that important work.
Much love.
I hope I can get Emerald Tree Skinks going next year, again, not for money, but for education and the preservation the native populations
I’m so late to the party but I’m currently using your videos to be able to start my own breeding project with crocodile skinks here in Los Angeles. I’m hoping to get a female for my current male so that I can avoid getting wild caught animals in the future and begin growing a captive bred community here in the states. Thank you for being one of the few to document this series and also show the rest of us how to breed these animals into captivity. Hopefully they become a popular pet in the future and can be tamed to a degree to even that of bearded dragons and leopard geckos.
Glad I found your videos, I am very much looking forward to getting a crocodile skink. Currently I have an axolotl and greatly appreciate viewing creatures from a distance and still be able to enjoy them :)
As someone who wants to get into reptile breeding in the future, I have a feeling I will be coming back to these videos several times in said future. Not only because I like look-don't-touch captives but also to breed them as well. Good luck on your endeavors, hopefully I can come to a point where I can join in the work as well!
THANK YOU!!! I've wanted these for a while and it really, really bothered me that all red eye croc skinks are wild caught.. this is awesome thank you
Well, not ALL, but all I've ever seen are wild caught
Super exciting!
I love these little guys I raised up a pair for the last year and a half, I believe they are both male so will have to get some girls for them. That breeding project was put on hold when my daughter found three Peter’s Banded Skinks that needed homes so she drove the two hours to rescue them and gave them to me. That is my major project at the moment.
Amazing, babies of any kind are adorable!!
Late tot he game, but a- Nova is adorable. b- I appreciate more CB critters to help preserve good health, and also to respect the wild creature's ability to stay in the wild as much as possible. I'm learning a lot and I really appreciate you taking the time to share with us. This is a delight!
Wonderful, more people should choose this!
I've also noticed a lack of breeders for these baby dragons. So my boyfriend and I are working to become breeders for these lil dudes. After quick search I found your chanel.. you will be an amazing resource. thank you
That is super cool your going to start prpducing Croc Skinks. They are so cute, and personable. If your pairs produce, it's super awesome that they are amazing parents.Love your vlog so much and your critters
I love this channel and who is mad when he is selling animals that he is breeding .it is actually a good help for the hobby because he is good (really good ) in this hobby . he should sell his animals will help Canada i think becouse there aren’t so many people that you can trust
Great mann keep going breed animals that you like and sale them of course to
I think you do a great thing for the hobby niceeeee
By the way i think the videos will be great 👍
Hi Dayyan. I wanted to say that I love a good reptile story. And a handsome skink hero to tell it.
This is amazing! I looove red eyed crocodile skinks, but I have yet to get into the reptile hobby, I'm preparing to start with a crestie :). I do not support the wild caught at all, so I think it is so amazing of you to contribute to the community with captive bread little ones!!! I love it! And you are so thoughtful and careful with all your animals, i really enjoy your videos and other stuff, thx :)
Great. I never want to by a wild caught animal. I want a pair of red-Eyed Crocodile Skinks. Some day soon.
I know it’s been a little while since you posted this, but I love these beautiful babies, including the white girl, and I’d say “yes” keep your beard!! You sport it very well!!
I’m so excited to watch this project!!!! I’m raising up my white and red eye croc skinks for breeding purposes where I am too try and show people how cool and unique they are, they are just so rare to find where I am lol
I'm reals exited can't wait for videos about crocodile red eyed skink.
Almost 100k👍
Just watched this and some of your other videos. I’m amazed at the clarity of your filming. Great detail. Looking forward to starting a reptile room in a couple of years so I’m doing plenty of research now.
Omg they're so awesome!
I think this is a wonderful idea and video. ♡ I feel the same about WC compared to CB. I think that this is a good endeavor though and the best reason to deliberately get wild caught individuals. Plus, it's not like you are doing it for money or for morph stuff, it's because you want the best for the wildnpopulation, which means we need CB options at competitive prices that will be healthier and happier than WC who have to acclimate. Overall it is just a good idea in the long run, and if you have the skill/knowledge/capacity then it is wonderful if you want to put in the work and time to make it happen. Anyway, I totally support it! An I may be interested in some one day too lol bc the WC thing is one reason I've not considered them more. :)
I know it stinks I've been looking for a pair forever... I absolutely love them
Wow, it's a shame people aren't breeding these more, these are some of my favorites in your collection. Great job and good luck getting the project up and running
Love this project you’re working on! Also definitely keep and find a male for that singular female! Best of luck 🤞
Love the reasons behind your breeding plans. I intend to follow a similar path with Tokays, they don't seem to be widely available here in the UK, and I'd love to work on producing more 'friendly' captive bred babies!
Thank you! Wonderful, wishing you lots of success!
I appreciate that you care what we think, but ultimately, we are here to watch your experience with your animals, I respect any decision you make, and I also think this was a good decision. I love that you want to share your knowledge of these guys considering they’re not well known, fantastic!
I’m excited to watch you going forward 😍 I like the beard, and the white eyed skink, beautiful, could breed her with a red to see what happens, but I’m sure the reds would sell better
Thats super cool congrats and good luck
Another ontario keeper! Your video was fantastic
This little guys are my favorite ones
This is amazing of you! It's so hard to find them even here in the states, I hope you will be able to make a big impact and wish you a lot of good vibes for the breeding pairs! :D
I love this idea! Very selfless and noble of you good sir! I love "Nova" keep her and later get a male. It would be interesting to see if there is any difference in personality if any. Probably not or very little. You will give her a wonderful home and if she goes back....hard to say. And the crowd chants NOVA STAYS, NOVA STAYS 😂 oh...no pressure.
I kid, it's your life your journey, I think you are making a phenomenal decision to breed CBB baby dragons🙌💓
The babies are so darn cute even taking food from their siblings? I really like them. I love watching all of them ,thank you so much.👍🏻👏🏼😍 from California with love. The babies are adorable and I am happy you will keep breeding them. I love Sappy and Sunny, they make the cutest babies. Skinks are definitely the cutest lizards. I can’t wait to see everyone in their new enclosure.👍🏻👏🏼
i love red eyed crocodile skinks!!!!!!!
Love that you are doing this. Hope you do keep the white eye and start a project with them
This is a really exciting project. I know a few owners who would be excited to see this series. Also, can't wait for some crocodile skink merch!!!
really liked the montage intro and the music
They are the cutest thing ever
Their enclosure is beautiful they're so cute
Wishing you the best of luck! I only keep tarantulas, but these are on my bucket list!
Yessss! I'm still in the research stages, but I plan on building a crocodile skink breeding program (I'm located in New England) in 5ish years!
I totally agree with you, i do not like wild caught animals. But if its used to get more captive bred individuals i think its ok. Super cool project and keep up the good work.
I wish I had them... they are my favorite for a while now. Love all reptiles. But these are just amazing.
This is so thoughtful !!!!! FOR REAL !!!!!! 😧
☺️🙏🏼
These a amazing beautiful animals thank you for what you are doing. I hope more people do the same.
I'm so pumped for you and the community!!!! Maybe one day I'll be able to get some decedents from your brood. I can't wait to see this journey unfold! congratulations!
That'd be amazing! I would buy one!!
Looking forward to this project and videos. I have wanted some of these for a long while and the thing that has stopped me was them being wild caught. I wish you the best of luck. Hopefully one day you are the reason I have one of these guys.
Two thumbs up! Such a great video! Seriously wondering about trying to acquire a pair for my classroom. Much more research for me... Yay!
Cheers,
Chris
After further research it looks like they won't be able to handle my summertime temps (mid 80s), so no little dragons for me.
This is such a good thing you’re doing, I love how passionate you are about croc skinks, captive bred is the way to go :)
Thank you very much!
this has been my dream animal for awhile now they are so beautiful.
im so excuted to see part to and all the progress you have made with breeding these beauty's
Yeey more mini Mega Charizard X videos 🤩😄
HOLY YOUR GROWING SO FAST YOU WERE AT LIKE 100 subbed not long ago
Thank you for breeding them. I really wanna get one in the future so I hope to get one from you when I'm ready for one
hello great video Dayyan
Definitely keep nova
Good luck!
count me as a neew subscriber. Thank you for promoting captive bred...and showing how wild caught specimens can reduce the pressure for more wild caught. They do reproduce quite slowly. You should actually increase your operation as much as you can handle.
All reptiles or any pet was wild caught at first so. Good job keep up the good work
Awwwwwww, how cute :)
I was so happy watching this! I had a Red Eyed Croc Skink girl who passed away just under a week ago. She was my first, I was actually just about to get her a male and try to breed them myself! I'm still in two minds about buying a pair, still hurting over the loss of my little one as it was so sudden :( I do have a little tortoise to keep me company for now :)
