Transcript
00:00Good, good, good, good. All right, we're going to wait for it. Wait.
00:05I never thought you could teach a lizard the same commands you teach a dog until I met Mochi.
00:13He's so smart, he completely listens and trusts me.
00:16Okay, go ahead, Mochi.
00:18Good boy.
00:20Mochi, what did I say about sticking your snout in my nose?
00:27He's so attached to me, I even bring him along when I go shopping.
00:31And people love to meet him.
00:32No way, can I pet him?
00:34Yeah.
00:36Look at him.
00:38Oh, yeah.
00:39Hello.
00:41Oh my goodness, look at you. You are chunky.
00:46He was actually very skittish around humans.
00:49He had almost no experience of being handled.
00:52I would hand-feed him all his food so that he would become more used to my hand.
00:57Good boy.
00:59Good boy.
01:00After like a week or two, he became very comfortable with me.
01:05I would tap the ground, whistle, and call his name.
01:09Come here, Mochi.
01:10Good boy.
01:12Good boy, Mochi. Come here.
01:14Come here, Mochi.
01:14Good boy.
01:16Good boy.
01:17When I first brought Mademoiselle home, I got that sense that he could be a little jealous.
01:25His eyes are just very wide.
01:27He was like, who is in this house right now?
01:29Like, how long is she staying?
01:31And then I learned that rats do a lot better in pairs.
01:34So then I got Millie.
01:35My rats are a hundred times more energetic than he is.
01:46The rats will walk over him sometimes, like walk on his back or sniff him in the face.
01:51The girls want to think that he's like a brother.
01:54But the sassy grandpa personality comes out.
01:56He's like, ugh, just two more mouths to feed.
01:59I immediately felt bad.
02:00So I was like, all right, I'm going to make sure Mochi has his Mina time.
02:03These are my three children.
02:05I don't love, well, Mochi's my number one.
02:09But he's a little spoiled now.
02:12He'll sleep next to me in bed.
02:14I'll wake up with him just on my face.
02:17I'll take him on walks downtown.
02:20He has this dragon leash.
02:23He'll take like 15 steps and then be done.
02:26What in the heck is going on in here?
02:32He's getting a bath.
02:37Come here, Mochi.
02:39Good boy.
