Today at Ryder’s Ranch, we’re giving our incredible BLACK DRAGON WATER MONITOR, OZZY, a brand-new home! 🐉🦎🔥
Ozzy is a stunning melanistic Asian water monitor, also known as a BLACK DRAGON, and he’s seriously one of the coolest and tamest giant lizards you’ll ever meet!
When Ozzy first came to us, he was living in a small 4-foot enclosure that desperately needed an upgrade. Today, we’re changing that! We’re moving him into a much nicer 5-foot enclosure and completely redesigning the inside to create a better environment for this amazing reptile. New decorations, climbing opportunities, substrate, and an entirely new setup!
But that’s not all! We’re also giving my daughter’s beloved crocodile skink a completely redesigned enclosure! These incredible little reptiles look like miniature dragons straight out of Jurassic Park, and they’re some of the most fascinating lizards in the reptile hobby.
We kick things off with a trip to the pet store to pick up everything we need for both reptile enclosure makeovers. Then it’s back to Ryder’s Ranch, where we get to work transforming both habitats and getting our reptiles settled into their upgraded homes!
From giant monitor lizards to tiny crocodile skinks, today is all about creating better environments for the incredible animals we care for.
If you love exotic animals, giant lizards, reptile enclosure builds, terrarium setups, and behind-the-scenes life at an exotic animal sanctuary, you’re going to love this episode!

🎨 BOOK A TATTOO APPOINTMENT
I’ve been tattooing for 20 years, owned several of my own tattoo shops across Florida for over 10 years, and was featured on Ink Master — finishing 4th place out of 18 artists. In August 2025, I made the decision to sell my shop to fully commit to building our animal sanctuary and being a present father — but I never put the machine down. I still tattoo full-time and I’m always looking forward to exciting new projects and hanging out with amazing clients!
