- Today, I'm gonna show you my least expensive lizard
all the way to my most expensive lizard.
But I'm gonna start with the sixth
most expensive lizards that we have,
which of course is Raptor, the Leechie Gecko.
These guys are our New Caledonian giant gecko,
of course, the largest gecko in the world.
And these guys go for about $800 for generic ones,
which are called the GTs.
But with the specific localities,
they could go up for over $10,000.
Now to the number one on the list,
which of course would be a common Leopard Gecko.
This is actually a little bit of a mutation,
but a common Leopard Gecko is only about 40 bucks.
Coming in at number two would be, of course,
what I think is one of the greatest
pet lizards out there, the Crested Gecko,
and the reason Crested Geckos are so amazing,
is that they don't require
all the heating elements that so many other animals are.
Typically, they're just about room temperature.
Don't have to feed 'em bugs.
You can feed 'em Repashy or Pangaea type of powdered food
mixed with water.
They're just a beautiful, cute, absolutely
incredible lizard.
And the price on these comes in at about a hundred bucks.
Number three on the list would be flaming hot Cheeto.
Now Bearded Dragons could be kind of on the cheap side,
even 75 or a hundred dollars for normal ones.
But this particular mutation costs about $400 as a baby.
Of course he'd cost more now that he's an adult.
And listen, I always say this.
When I'm talking about value of my animals,
there is no value that I would sell these animals for
because I love them so much.
Even though his actual price tag might be $400.
I would probably turn down 400,000.
- Noah, Noah.
- What's up dude?
- I'm trying to take my girl on this little vacation.
- Vacation?
Vacation, that is is a lot of money dog.
- Well, you got any ideas?
Like where do you think I should go?
- Last time I went on vacation,
we went to the drive-in movies.
Well, we just parked on the street
and we just like walked from there, you know?
- Like you didn't go inside of the...
Did she like that?
- Oh, she thought it was so romantic.
Then this other time my girl wanted to see hills.
She said, "Oh, take me to Switzerland."
I don't got that money, but you know what I did?
- Where'd you take her?
- Took her to the landfill.
- No.
- Man-made mountains.
All the birds, the seagulls were flying around.
It was so romantic.
- But did she like it?
- I don't really think she loved it.
I mean the smell wasn't the best, but
- Is she still your girlfriend?
- No, that's like three ago.
- Ah, okay, okay.
- Next up is our first monitor lizard, but it's a small
monitor lizard that comes in at a relatively nice price
for its size.
I love Ackie Monitor Lizard.
The Australian dwarf monitor that are just absolute rippers.
There's red face and there's yellow face.
This would be the red face here.
They don't get much larger than this, super cool animals.
And you can buy 'em for about 600 bucks.
Next up is another kind of smaller monitor lizard.
But these guys certainly get bigger than
the Ackie monitor lizard maxing on at about four foot
or something like that.
And that of course is the Argus Monitors.
These guys actually come from the Australia area
really cool known for what they call tripoding,
which means that they stand up on their back legs
and their tail and their head goes up in the air.
Almost like a Meerkat, but in the monitor sense.
These guys are just really cool, super intelligent.
This is Noah's buddy, his name is Chong.
Noah loves this animal and usually you can pick these up
for about 700 bucks.
And we're back to our Leechie Gecko that we started at
at number six.
This is a really cool animal, like I mentioned.
I love the fact that they're super soft.
I mean when everyone touches these, they're always like,
"Oh my gosh, I could not believe how soft they are."
One of the cooler lizards.
But let's go ahead and move on to number seven.
- Listen, my girl told me she wanted to go to the beach.
- That's expensive.
- We were driving down the street.
We seen these people, they had kids in the front yard.
Yeah, so we just stopped, knocked on their door.
So you guys got a sandbox in the back.
- Wow, so smart.
I never thought that one.
- She told me she wanted to go to the water park one time.
So I told her, I said, get your swimsuit on.
You love the water park, right?
- I love the water park.
- I told her, I said, get your swimsuit on,
we're driving, I told her we're gonna take the scenic route.
You know, so just picture it driving.
We got the music going, swimsuits already on, got towels,
setting the mood right?
We were driving by this house, sprinklers.
We parked, we got out right there.
- I mean dude, we are on to something with this.
- Free water park.
- Wow.
You know, I do cheap out on dates, I gotta admit.
But you know what I don't cheap out on?
- What's that?
- The casino.
- Max bet every time.
- Hand dollar denomination, babe.
- That's right.
- I love the slot machines baby.
- Let me get 500 on black.
- 500 on black, ooh.
- Give me $50 on the odds.
Just like that, bank.
- Slot machines in my dream, yeah.
- I'm thinking about casinos right now.
- Flashing lights, lights,
- Lights, lights.
That was good.
- Next up would actually be the Chahoua Gecko.
Now Chahoua Geckos are a lot like the Leechie Geckos.
They stay a little bit smaller obviously
but they're just kind of similar in the way they look.
A little bit longer, a little bit more slender.
And back in the day Chahouas were actually a lot cheaper
than Leechie geckos but now there's so many people
producing Leechies, the price has come down
and there's not nearly the amount of people
that are producing the Chahoua geckos so the prices went up.
So typically a Chahoua gecko can sometimes cost anywhere
from a thousand to 1500 bucks and some localities
can go for a lot more.
Next up is Grits,
The White Throated Rock Monitor.
These are one of three Rock Monitors from Africa.
This particular one is from South Africa.
And this is about full grown for Grits.
Absolutely powerful, beautiful animal.
And white throat monitors used to get imported
and they were a little bit cheaper
but now they've become pretty hard to get.
And when you do find 'em, you have to pay about 2000 bucks.
And then there's the other rock monitor.
These guys are actually from Tanzania though.
They look very similar to Grits, right?
But this would be called a Black Throated Monitor
instead of White Throated Monitor.
And they're a little bit more rare, they get big.
They're the largest of all the rock monitors in Africa.
And I tell you what, Waffles here is just
an absolute dinosaur.
I love his giant head, his big tongue.
He's like, "Hey dad, I want to go back home."
These guys will set you back about 2,500 bucks.
- Why you asking me where they're?
- That's because I was saying do even know where they're?
- Oh dude.
- Sorry, didn't see you there.
- Do you see me there?
I was right here.
- I'm getting the roaches down.
Just hold it.
- I'm not gonna hold a roach.
At least I smell good.
- You didn't know they make jelly-
- I had roaches.
- and jams out of roaches?
- Dephier rocher.
- Yeah, the crunchy sensation is roach legs.
- That's why it's rocher dude.
- Whoa, that looks like your kitchen.
- No it's-
- Grab a juicy one.
Grab this juicer
(screams)
(Noah screams)
- Noah will you help me?
- I got it.
- Help me, help me.
You got it?
- I don't got it at all.
Don't drop the roaches.
- Oh my God.
- Noah, oh my God bro. Where's the other
- I've lost one.
I repopulate.
- Yeah, their roaches.
They can survive nuclear holocaust.
- Have you seen a roach around here?
Oh snap.
- Oh no, it's in your back.
Okay. There was a lump.
I was like, there might be one.
Oh, there it is.
- It's not the safest thing that we've done.
Short Tong.
Adrenaline.
Have you done this before?
- Noah.
- No.
- Oh wait, let me get it, let me him, hold on.
- Shut. Ahhh!
- Noah.
Noah where was that?
You just put that on your neck?
- You swear to God that you grabbed that off my back.
Are you joking with me?
- No. Did you put that on your back in there?
- Why would I do that?
- How...
- Shut up.
- [A Man] That's not real.
- You shut up.
- Thought I saw a bump dude.
That's why I said it.
- [A Man] There's no way.
- Well, put it in the bucket there.
- Next on the list is this handsome little devil here.
Of course, Elvis, my Asian Water Monitor.
Now, interestingly enough they're a little difficult
when it comes to pricing
because imported baby water monitors can be as cheap
as like a hundred bucks or something like that.
But captive bred, beautifully well tamed ones as babies
go for about $1,500.
An animal about his size that is tame and is docile,
again is completely priceless.
There's no way you could put a value on this animal,
but if someone was gonna sell a tame water monitor like this
they're probably gonna ask somewhere about $3,000.
But again, for me, Elvis would never be for sale
because it would be like me selling Noah.
Now, to be honest with you
that'd probably be easier to sell.
- I get the hint dad.
- Next up would be another beautiful Asian Water Monitor.
But this guy's name of course is Toothless.
He's the black dragon.
And I tell you what, he is an absolute handful.
Oh, oh, now he's up here, I'm in trouble.
There is nothing I can do.
Toothless don't tip me.
He's got strong claws, he's gonna be climbing
all over the place.
I love toothless.
When I bought toothless, believe it or not
they were like $7,500 for babies.
Now they've come down in price.
An animal Toothless' size would probably set you back
about 4,000 bucks.
Toothless, where are you going, buddy?
You going down?
Okay, go down.
You cannot imagine the pressure he has.
I mean, this guy is a tree climber for sure.
Look at him get down like that.
Man, tell you what,
that is one cool animal.
Next up would be Beetle Juice,
the Bell's Phase Lace Monitor, one of my dream monitors.
I saw these when I was in Australia, 12, 13 years ago.
And I fell in love with them never thinking
that I would have the opportunity to work
with something like this.
What an amazing animal, he's getting big,
he's mellowing out.
And these guys still go for some pretty good money.
Typically anywhere between five and $6,000.
There's just something different
when you walk into an enclosure
with a Croc Monitor like Baby Kush, I mean look at his eyes.
He's just like his pupils just dilate out.
What's going on.
He's completely aware.
He's like, "What are your intentions?"
He's thinking, right?
He's trying to think like, what am I gonna do?
And I'm not gonna muck with you, buddy.
I'm gonna let you stay there where he's basking
under that beautiful light right now.
This is an amazing animal as babies, captive bred,
these guys can go for like $7,500.
When you get into a captive bred animal
the size of Baby Kush, literally they can go
for up to $10,000 and they are worth every penny
because the captive bred animals are so much better
than the wild ones that come in a little bit cheaper,
but usually are beat up and typically you can't work
with 'em.
Now of course, Baby Kush, when he was a baby,
was a little bit rough, but he's mellowing up.
But he's giving me that hiss right now.
Like, don't come any closer.
Don't worry, buddy.
I'm gonna leave you alone, what an amazing animal.
Next up we have Hiccup the Albino Galavensis.
And he's rolling around in the bedding.
He almost look, he's got pepper all over him.
What a cool animal here.
And this particular line,
which is called now Albino Snow-Blind is pretty rare.
Absolutely wonderful.
So happy that we're able to get this animal,
but it did set us back $12,500
and look at how awesome it is, it's worth every penny.
Look at how amazing that animal is.
Even if he's dirty, to me he's beautiful.
- Just missed you with his pink.
- Oh dude.
- No like-
- Yeah, I do know.
- If this does come out, I can't grab it.
- Me either. So we should probably like-
- No, just leave them both open.
- I think we can only feed it one though actually.
- Oh God.
- You just stand this way and feed it this way.
That's not safe.
- I'm scared of the cockroach.
(Noah shouting)
It's going right to its death.
It's got his propellers on.
- Noah, get the roach, give me the...
- You're gonna do it?
(screams)
(tong dropping)
- Help.
- Noah picked the worst tong.
Besides that, they're short. You pick the-
- Not grand tong, Jesus.
Well that was, that was...
That was worth it.
Good job.
- And then there is Frosty.
Now Frosty has a bunch of shed all over it
but you can see how pure white that is, a white monitor.
And this is definitely the most expensive animal
I ever bought when it came to a lizard.
And I think he's worth every penny.
I mean, once it sheds out and you see that absolutely
beautiful white, look at that.
Oh my goodness.
It's amazing the contrast between the old skin
and that white underneath.
Set me back $50,000.
But listen, I think it's worth every penny.
And that basically rounds out the cheapest lizards
all the way to the most expensive lizards here
at the Reptarium.
