Hello together and welcome back to episode 25 of Reptil TV!
Today we've got a nice animal topic.
I am asked repeatedly what my personal favorites are.
That's why today we'll do my Top 5 list of the most impressive animals for me.
Moreover, there is a little lottery at the end, so stay with us! It's definitely worth it.
These two mates are my Number 5. Two nice Australian Blue Tongue Skinks.
They are impressive and muscular animals.
I really like the big head and the blue tongue, hence that's where the name is from.
They are really quiet, well-behaved and easy to care for animals and are absolute grateful.
Therefore, they are my number 5.
Here's my number 4. A green anaconda, Eunectes murinus.
Anacondas are the biggest snakes on earth, at least they are the heaviest snakes on earth.
Overall a very beautiful animal, with the olive green skin and the black spots.
A really massive body and muscular physique, a really nice animal.
And if you try to imagine this snake as big as 7 meters, than it would surely be Nr. 1 of my Top 5.
Here my Number 3, a Boa Constrictor Constrictor, Surinam in this case.
Especially the Constrictors are quite impressive Boas.
The incredible big head is great.
Nice tongue and a nice mouth.
Of course the typical for Surinam Boas, the red colored tail.
And with almost 3 meters, the Constrictors belongs in the Top 5 list of the most impressive reptiles.
The Reticulated Python, the Broghammerus reticulatus, came in on second place.
Not only because of it's nice name. Overall one of the most beautiful big snakes on earth.
One reason is its size, the longest snake is around 9 meters long.
Moreover, because of its visual appearance it's an absolutely impressive and beautiful snake.
What's interesting is, that in fashion and style, every handbag and each boot have this reticulated python pattern.
It seems to be totally in vogue and appealing for the fashion industry.
Altogether, they are not as even-tempered animals, compared to Boas and Indian Pythons.
You wouldn't put a Reticulated Python on the shoulders of a child.
But if they are used to being held regularly, from childhood on, they are even-tempered and well-behaved.
Thus, defiantly my Nr. 2!
Here is my Nr.1!
A red, Argentinean Teju.
You could also say, the Teju from Marzahn.
He's struggling a little bit with his weight.
But you have to say, that Tejus in general, for a Teju he is not fat. For a Teju he defiantly has the perfect body.
It's normal, that they've got a little fat around the cheeks. And that the legs have baby fat.
He defiantly has no problems with his weight.
They really are impressive animals. Alone due to the size.
Also because of their behavior, they're really relaxed and tame animals.
They have a look at everything. I believe that for a reptile they are quite intelligent.
They know exactly when they get feed and so on and can judge that.
So it's defiantly a great and impressive animal
Right now he kind of is our mascot and we're thinking about how to name him.
So, if you've got a good idea for a name, as said before, "Der Teju aus Marzahn" was an idea.
Or "Ein Teju namens Babe" If you've got a good suggestion, just let us know.
My Nr. 1, the red Teju!
That was my personal Top 5 of the most impressive reptiles. Of course you have a different ranking or another opinion.

Maren, you pain in the ***. What's the problem? We're shooting Reptil.TV.
Everything bites me, takes a ***, doesn't want to keep still. And now you also want something.
We have to show this? Can we somehow put this in the episode?
This is my Nr. 4 in our ranking. A green Anaconda ... woahh...
A moment ago she was so calm.
Off: But in the episode about handling snakes we explained, that you just have to keep her on your hand. Stephan: I have to watch some TV.
... if she has her neck there, than she'll crawl down and I have to start over again.
I want to hold her a bit higher.
She has to be on a level with your chest. Exactly.
Stephan: I just held it below the tap. Off: Why that?
Stephan: Well, so that he shines a bit more and to clean him a little.
Off: He's got a big fat face. There we have our hamster.
Every time I talk about his baby fat, he get's aggressive.
It's funny, if you pinch him here or there, or in his double chin, he tries to keep his ground.
We should take you to a clinic and have a liposuction.
There's no light on. Shouldn't I see some kind of light?
Stephan: ..... if you don't .... Off: [unaudible]
Off: Can you hold your hand a bit lower? Keep it there! Stephan: Gee!
Come on, you have to hurry, I cannot hold still this way forever.
Off 1: And... smile!! ... camera rolling ... Off 2: ..rolling?!.. wait... rolling!
