Philippine Sailfin Dragon (hydrosaurus pustulatus) - Real Dinosaurs in the world - the Godzilla real
these guys are typically pretty easily
handled in my opinion they can get a bad
rap for being overly skittish they're
really not they do get startled easily
and they do get to recognize people so
if there's somebody around that they're
not used to they can start a little bit
more easily but as long as they're
around with somebody who says no really
well for instance he knows me very well
and he didn't take care of them every day he'll be just fine but if somebody
else was to try to handle them like this
you probably wouldn't calm down very
little more with that said when first
get them out of the enclosure they can
sometimes be skittish for the first
maybe 5 to 10 seconds at the most
but after that, they generally calm down
they're very easily handled I think so
again cell phones make great
intermediate reptile keep for the larger
lizards I think that they're much easier
lizard to handle and take care of then
say some of the larger monitor lizards.
primarily because there is a huge risk
of injury whereas a monitor lizard could
get angry and bite and tear through a
tendon or ligaments and causing severe
damage a Philippine sultan is really not
going to cause any damage so he might
scratch me up a little bit with his
claws trying to run away but that's
about all he can do and as you can see
they're absolutely beautiful lizards the
big sale there and he's good sizes if he
is missing a few digits and stuff when I
got this guy he was actually in really
rough shape his nose just completely.
just destroyed I mean see you never grew
back some of the spikes on his back here
but he's been doing really well and I've
had him for several years he was great
guy and I absolutely
with his nose there pulls you back to
normal and as I keep giving him
really good care
he just gets more and more beautiful
every year and he's one of my favorites
losers in the collection absolutely
beautiful.
just a joy to work with and going in the
shed right now so his colors aren't as
good as they are when you freshly shed
they're really easy to handle though
once you get a hang of it the hang of it
and really fun lizards to work with and
hopefully, I'll be working with them for
a lot longer and very excited to have
some of his babies hatching out here
next month in April so like us on
Facebook and we'll be posting up
pictures of that and maybe I'll be
posting a video of the babies so thank
you guys for watching stay tuned for
more videos if you have something in

below and I'll see what I can do to get
it for it thanks guys
