Best qoute I have ever heard! "When you're a noodle with a head, the world's a dangerous place"! I want that on a tee-shirt. Can you make that into some merch or something? I would buy that asap.
My friend has described tortioses as "the parrots of the reptile world" because THEY LIVE FOREVER. Honestly if you get a parrot or a tortoise.... you best prepare to put them in your will and make sure who you give it to will take care of them because they can, and probably will out live you.
I have 5 small parrots. I'm 19 and I already have plans for where they'll be living when I have my own place. I haven't even gotten a job or goke through college yet but my birds come with me. One is sitting on my lap "helping" me watch videos. Better than the help they give when you're cleaning more like "mom! I left you a present." I swear some birds will straight up laugh after pooping....mine don't. They do like to mimic coughing and give you a heart attack. Birds don't and can't actually cough....the number of people who don't know this and worry so much after they've been sick and their bird is just imitating them. Now they can sneeze. And they can yawn and the yawning is adorable. I have a rule for myself that any pet I get cannot have a crazy short lifespan because I'm not used to that I've had birds and dogs my whole life and those are not short lived animals. I had a gunia pig for a while but my sister was allergic so I never saw her die
Completely agree. Parrots are literally the most commitment. Tortoises are the parrots of the reptile world. You need a balance varied diet for both. Large husbandry(depending on species) for both. But the mental stimulation and emotional and overall a lifetime commitment of having a parrot is far greater than a tortoise. But the reward of having a parrot is amazing(only if you probably care for your birds) that's why I have two.
I had no idea birds would mimic coughing! My sister's bird (green-cheek conure) does laugh though, and he'll laugh after he's done something mischievous, like after he's pooped on someone or after he's antagonized the dog into scream-howling (the dog hates his squawk so when he squawks, the dog starts scream-howling until either the bird stops or someone yells at the dog). He'll also laugh when he hears other people laughing, but I'd have to say the weirdest times is when he'll laugh watching t.v. At first I thought maybe he was just laughing because he heard an audience laughing, but he'll even laugh sometimes after a joke on a show with no laugh-track and when no one else has started laughing. Birds are just a little too smart for me lol.
We won't! We are still working on speeding up our editing process, but we are so encouraged by the reception that we have received, and we are going to keep them coming!
New leopard gecko owner and I'm just chuffed that there are so many informative, educational, and entertaining channels regarding reptile care. I've learned so much since bringing my gecko home and I feel like I am starting to get the hang of reptile care. (I've long been a mammal pet owner, but I've never had a reptile before.) Your channel is fantastic, so funny. You're a phenomenal teacher!
I know you won’t probably read this or even come by it but I just wanted to say thank you for helping me out on this. I had a dream of owning an iguana but you showed me that they are unpredictable so I decided to go for a Ball Python thank you again
Clint! You're enthusiasm is infectious and I love these videos! Could you possibly show off all you pets that you currently have? Would be super interesting and fun.
Do you know you said spectacular 12 times? I love that word. I love that you use that word and all of your other amazing adjectives when describing reptiles.
You seemed so much more at ease in this video than some others. Like what you were saying was less forced and straight from the heart. Keep up the great work
Hey mate, first off i love your channel and when are you going to get a shirt that fits? im kidding but I do have a serious question and thats i own a male crested gecko hes probably around 4 years old and he as suddenly gone nuts. Like if i put my hand in the tank to change his food he will jump out from where hes hiding, latch on to my hand and the bite down as hard as his little jaw can bite! he used to be the most chill little dude ever. i have recently changed his substrate from a reptile carpet to a rock/mesh/ eco earth combination to keep the humidity up also put some spring tails in there. Is this just gecko puberty? or is he getting pissed off with something new? He is also going for the kill when im near the tank as well jumping at the glass in my direction etc. Thank you for your time and keep up the good work!
It is hard to find a shirt that fits. I need to get rich so I can tailor all my shirts :) Things like reptile mites can cause changes in behavior, but I would imagine that he is either acting due to sexual aggression or hunger. I have a couple of geckos that act a little this way, and I have some ways to cope. I usually spray them in the face just a little when I need to reach into their tank. That seems to keep them from jumping at me. I will also offer them an insect feeder to give them something to do while I mess around in the tank. Mine just seem to be showing a feeding response, so when I get passed their initial feeding response, they are still very handleable. Give that a try and let me know if it works for you.
awesome, brilliant response and highly appreciated! hes definitely not hungry as he is going through food quicker than ever, i think it is to do with the sexual aggression. Thanks again ill try the tips you have given me.
@@complaintsofanenglishman9723: Which brings up another great point: Some animals that many people may buy as cute little babies ( iguanas, for example) , may not realise that they can turn into unholy terrors once puberty hits. Something that might have only been a few inches long as a baby, two years down the line, could be something several feet long; and with sharp teeth, and claws, and even ( in some cases) venom glands. Definitely a case of "Let the buyer beware!"
You're a great educator and I love your personality, you should do great on RUclips! 🙂 We need more channels like this as there are so many videos filled with misinformation on here. I think a big drawback to blue tongued skinks is what they eat since they need a very varied diet. It's almost like feeding a human child.. if we fed children dog food. It's the main reason I don't want one- a big reason I like geckos so much, their feeding is simple! 😉
Thank you so much! We are having a great time making and sharing these videos. The nice thing about feeding blue tongues is almost everything can be purchased at the grocery store, but you are right, it does require variety.
I got an ad for a home security system and it showed various scary things and one of them was a ball python which I just find really funny and also kind of sad how ignorant our culture is about snakes.
Rapidly became my favourite channel to watch. Really want to keep a reptile and thats 50% how much I love them and 50% your enthusiasm! Torn between a hognose snake or a Jeweled lacerta. I'd love a Tegu one day
I would love to hear more about Rhacodactylus geckos as I recently got myself a young gargoyle gecko! (I also own 2 bearded dragons and dabble in leopard gecko breeding, I'm at 7 leos.) I look forward to more content from this channel!
I get most of my reptiles from exotic arc pets. Which is a local pet store that specializes in mainly reptiles. The owner even provides Alice cooper with his snakes for his shows. The rest I get from reptile expos. Where you sometimes find the less common, yet great pet reptiles.
I would love to see your video on Tokay geckos! Not that I'm ever planning to get one.. And not that I currently or ever taken care of pet reptiles, although when the moment is right I am definitely going to. I just love your videos and learning all the new information (during this video I even played a game of guessing why certain species didn't make it onto the list).
I’d love to see some care information for the small, cheap animals that people consider disposable. It’s so hard to find good information for green anoles and long tailed lizards, for example.
8:55 too true... when I got my very first KSB, I wasn't familiar with unhealthy signs, and ended up buying one from a breeder that I found out only a day later after a friend pointed it out that she had a major RI to the point she was gasping for air and bubbling. They told me she was yawning cause she was about to shed, well she did shed but she kept her mouth hung open and bubbling. We ended up giving her back, but Im almost certain she died. Next time I got my current adult KSB, i made sure to check it more thoroughly and this time I got a healthy one who is still doing well. 12:55 also true. I started with pre-killed hoppers and my KSB ate one, and never ate another one. I tried a few more times, and still no. She wouldn't eat for 4 weeks, so I tried a live mouse, and she ate it in a heart beat. She refuses to eat anything but live kill, and Ive tried the whole warm up the meal or chicken broth tricks, nope.. only live. 15:00 also, there *are* pet stores that are nice. Petsmart and Petco, not a good idea. However the Pet Bazaar pet store by my house is a very nice, clean, local breeder supplied store that also has very helpful staff and will willingly answer all your "stupid" beginner questions with a smile. Not all pet stores are terrible, but yeah I would stay away from the huge ones like Petsmart.
I love the video! You guys have now become one of my favorite youtubers. I will say, the only thing I /didn't/ like about the video was the weird shuffling (almost like camera zooming out and in noises, not sure how to describe it, I'm sure if you watched the video again you'd notice) throughout the video. It was a little distracting (especially with headphones). Besides that, I love the fact that you include information on all reptiles thouroughly! I thought I was going to see some misconceptions and mistakes but I didn't find any! I only wish these videos were up when I was first deciding on a reptile aha. Thank you for making this channel and being so interactive/respectful with viewers as well :)
+Jolie Klein Thank you! Yes, the noise... At the end of filming the video we realized that the lapel mic was bumping and scraping against reptiles and the table... Too little too late...
If someone had told you that in just three years, your channel would be where it is today, as one of the most well-respected, raddest herp channels on RUclips, diversifying into Amphibians, arachnids, insects, etc, as well as collaborating with solidly established herpetoculturists like Emily+Ed, Dav, and even NERD, what would you say? Congratulations on three years and 194 videos worth of creating the resource you've always wished you had and here's to many more...
I got my crested gecko from a pet store mostly because I felt bad for him. His conditions were too hot and not humid enough, his diet was lacking. If I left him there he may not have survived. However, I didn't buy any of my supplies from them. Hopefully they won't stock more of them in the future if they don't get secondary sales from its sale.
That is always a hard call to make. When I see an animal suffering should I buy it and save that animal but encourage the behavior, or let it suffer so that others won't in the future? Hard choice. Hope your little one is doing well.
I only wished I had you in my life when I was a kid. I might have had a reptile in my life... like the California desert rosy boa that wound up on my doorstep. (Mom hates snakes! Aw...) But you're here now.
+MVNPlanet, thank you! A video on water dragons is a great idea! I just love them, and babies are everywhere, but I rarely see adults. Probably not a good sign. We will plan on making a video in the future!
Hi there, I love your videos, I've been following you guys for about a month. I have a beautiful bearded dragon named Oobi. I love the content and I'm learning quite a bit. Oh yeah, Oobi likes your videos too lol
I have a horsfield tortoise, I'd love to see some tortoise care videos- especially russian tortoises, they have the best characters. Houdini looks very healthy also
Hey, my mom said that I can get a reptile and I want a leopard gecko. We live in an apartment and I am fine with the the insects and so is my mom. WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THIS? ANY ADVISE?
I’ve heard, now take this with a grain of salt, in Australia, a lot of keepers will recommend blue tongue skinks above bearded dragons for beginner lizards. Again, I’ve only heard this from one person (Brian Barczyck) so take that with a grain of salt.
instant fan of ur vids. i really like how enthusiastic u are and how informed and ur vids are i have a few questions about how i should take care of a beardie tho. i am getting one very soon and was doing my research. i want to know hoe much should i feed it, how big should its tank be, what is the food ratio, how to set up its tank, etc. etc. so i was thinking if u could do a care vid on bearded dragons cuz i want to offer the best living conditions for my future beardie. thank you very much. :) :) (i heard u should not keep a beardie on sand because it could cause impaction. just a little thing i heard.) all in all these are some very high quality vids and i am very thankful that i stumbled onto this channel. thank you again for making these videos :) :) :)
Hi Clint, My son and I recently found you and have been watching all your videos and we just love you! He loves your humerus expressions as do I...he will often replay...what he calls your “funny faces” ..lol. And freeze frame them....p.s. we “play” ...lol...with our reptiles too😜😜I’m a huge animal lover always have been love your Chanel.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me! Hearing that families are enjoying our videos together makes me happier than any other kind of feedback we ever receive. I'll have to throw in some more "funny faces" in the future 😜
i think its funny that corn snake owners claim rats are unhealthy but if you go to ball python groups they claim mice are unhealthy, and largely the claims are identical, that both are high in fat, when in actuality, they are more or less nutritionally identical and appropriate size for your snake really is the biggest concern.
I can agree and disagree with the statement that pet stores are not good for buying reptiles. I got three out of four of my leopard geckos from my local Petsmart. I did it because the treatment of the geckos and all of the reptiles are great in the Petsmart in my area. The Petsmart in my area, keeps the geckos in separate tanks as much as possible, and if they keep them together, they only keep two maximum in one tank. My geckos are completely healthy and they are thriving in their current environment. The only thing I wish I did do, was get them from a good breeder, so that I could breed my males and females. But I do understand that people don't want to support Petco, I don't have one here in Ontario, and when I went to the states, the conditions of the animals was horrible. I had to leave the store just so that I could stop my self for wanting to yell at the manager. But I do have a locally run, reptile specialty shop her in my city, and I love going there for my feeders (they sell them in the 1000's for a good price) and they have a vast selection of reptiles available for purchase. I love to go into the store and buy my feeders then take a look around to see the amazing selection. All the more common reptiles like beardies, leopard geckos, ect... Are either bred by the owner, or bred by people that he knows and trusts with their care and quality animals. And the variety of different feeders that I can't get from Petsmart...amazing. I can never get Silk worms or Phoenix worms from Petsmart, but he has them there. In fact I am going to his store on Friday to pick up some Phoenix worms and crickets from him. Pet shops are evil. Like I said it depends on the store when it comes to Petsmart, and it depends on the type of store too. If you are looking at it from a species specific point of view.
I really enjoyed watching your Top 5 video. I'm an owner of 6 Leopard Geckos, a Bearded Dragon and Red Eared Slider and I can relate entirely with your top 5 choices. I'm considering buying a snake in the near future and have been researching Ball Pythons and Corn Snakes. I found this very entertaining to watch and very informative. "When you're a noodle with a head, the world is a dangerous place." I'll be looking forward to more videos soon!
I love my Russian Tortoise. He is fantastic. Small, personable, easy to care for (compared to other turtles). Thanks for mentioning them and I look forward to great videos in the future!
Can you do an extensive video on bearded dragons? I want to get one but I'm very confused by their diet. Can they live off of worms and greens only? Or do they NEED crickets/roaches?
+Ashley M, we will! That is one of the next videos to be coming out. For now, a varied diet is better than a diet made of one or two things. You can use worms as a staple, but roaches and crickets should be offered as well when possible.
I’d also like to know life expectancy for the best reptiles you’re suggesting. You mentioned the long life of the Russian Tortoise, but that’s the only lifespan/expectancy I heard you talk about. Thank you!
Russian Tortoises are awesome, but another reason I think they shouldn't necessarily be considered good starter pets is the fact that most Russian tortoises are wild caught, so it's very common for them to have parasites. Also I just hate the fact that the pet trade is damaging the wild population so much. You can find captive bred ones, they're just much less common.
Hello Clint, i live in Izmir, Turkey and can you give me a good place to buy a "Common Leopard Gecko" or a specifict thing like look this in a petshop you buy the reptile. (sorry for my bad english)
Take really, really good care of the pets you have. If she sees that you are responsible and dedicated, I bet she will be more willing to let you take more on.
Hey Clint's Reptiles: Could you also emphasize the fact that there are a number of reptile rescues out there, with pets looking for a good forever home, as well? Just one more place that people shopping for that perfect pet might consider, in addition to pet shops and breeders. Thanks. 😀
To me the biggest con of ball pythons is they are picky eaters and notorious fasters. They also require humidity. I think the rosey boa is actually a better beginner snake. Because they are better eaters and do not require high humidity. The con of rosey boas, is they do not come in as many morphs as ball pythons, they are less common and harder to find. They are generally more expensive to buy, but not very pricey.
I love your energy clint! Keep making reptile videos and I will definitely watch em! You are a very knowledgeable source and I hope to see more in the future!!^-^
Here are my suggestions for top 5 worst reptiles for beginners: 1. Anoles. People like to buy them because they are readily available just about anywhere, they're small, and they're probably the cheapest reptile you'll ever buy (just talking about cost of the reptile itself). But I think they're bad for beginners because they are very fast, do not tolerate handling very well, they bite, and while they are cheap, they still require the same set-up, care, and lighting that other diurnal reptiles need (calcium supplement, UVB lighting, heat, room to run/climb/hide). 2. Terrapins (African Sideneck, Red-eared slider, etc.). The first reason these guys are bad for beginners are they have complex needs: they are omnivores who need a variety of formulated pellets, live insects, live or frozen/thawed fish, veggies, fruits. They also are semi-aquatic, and need plenty of space for swimming, walking, and basking. The second reason they are bad for beginners is because they are unfortunately invasive in many areas of the U.S. Many new reptile keepers realize after the fact what a big commitment they are, and have trouble re-homing them, so they release them into the environment, where they out-compete and sometimes eat native species, but nothing in that environment really knows how to eat them because they get so much larger than native terrapins. 3. Chameleons. They're cute, amazing, and don't get too big, but many of them get stressed easily with handling, and they have very specific humidity/enclosure needs: they really need a constant mist for proper hydration, but you have to be careful because if their environment gets too humid, mold can grow and they can actually get what I guess is essentially a mold infection that usually best-case scenario means they need an emergency trip to the vet for amputation of the affected limb, and of course worst-case scenario it becomes deadly before you notice it in time to take action (an experienced keeper may not miss these signs, but a beginner keeper definitely could miss them). 4. Bullfrogs. I know, they're not technically a reptile, but often in the pet trade "reptile" is used interchangeably with herps, and I think anyone considering keeping a pet herp for the first time should know about the issues with keeping bullfrogs. Bullfrogs are invasive where I live (Pacific Northwest), so there are some people who think catching and keeping a bullfrog (or bullfrog tadpole) as a pet is a good idea. While it might be okay for someone who really knows what they're getting into, they're just not a good fit for beginners. They get enormous, they're really loud (so definitely not a good option for apartment dwellers), they eat a lot (for a frog), and the main reason I think they're not a good idea for beginners is that they are illegal to release (at least in areas where they are invasive). I think people think "Oh I'll catch one, and if it doesn't work out, big deal, I'll just put it back where I found it." The problem is is if you live in an area where they are invasive, catching and releasing a bullfrog is considered a crime, even if you only caught it for two seconds and then let it go. This seems like a strict law, but the reason for it is so that pet owners bringing them into an environment and releasing them can't use the "I just found it here" excuse; once you catch one of these frogs, they are your responsibility, and if they end up not working out for you, there really aren't many resources for re-homing them, unless you surrender them to a wildlife department where it will be euthanized. 5. Iguana. Maybe this one isn't very fair to put on the list, but I think it's something for new reptile keepers to keep in mind. For one thing, they start out as adorable little babies, but they get huge. This means they need large enclosures and maybe even open space to roam for at least part of the day. They also need appropriate lighting/heating for those big enclosures, so that could get expensive. They also need lots of different fresh vegetables (which I guess isn't really that big of a deal for some people). 6 (bonus). Big snakes. You kind of touched on this a little bit with the common boa, but I'm talking about REALLY big snakes: Burmese pythons, African rock pythons, anacondas, etc. These are all snakes that can't be safely handled by just one person (so it's not just one person making a long-term commitment, it's at least two or more depending on how big the snake can get). Definitely not something anyone new (or even intermediate) to keeping reptiles should really be considering. (I think it could maybe even be argued that they aren't a good idea for anyone, but I would say even if you do think they're alright to keep as pets, they definitely aren't for beginners.) Anyway, those are just some I thought of. I also think maybe a best beginner reptile(s) that you did not include would be the smaller boas: Kenyan sand boas and Rosy boas. They don't get large (Kenyan sand boas max at 3 ft, Rosy boas max at 4 ft), they're docile, easy to handle, and their cage set-up isn't too complicated.
Definitely not as simple as their prices would suggest. Any reptile can be wrong if you don't know what you are getting or what it needs. That happens far more with inexpensive reptiles like these.
Thinking about getting a ball python. I love the panda pied morph and pastel ivory! Can you go over why some morphs are are more expensive then others? I unterstand some are harder to breed but idk I think morphs in emerald would make a SPECTACULAR video
I might be getting a first reptile in few weeks, I live in a house with my mom and dad, two dogs, two cats that are pretty easygoing, what reptile do you think would be good? I'd really appreciate it. I'd like a reptile to chill with while I sit on my bed. I'd also like a reptile with a personality that I could bond with.
Loved the videos! Im a very new reptile keeper(It has only been a year since I got my gecko) and I have a couple of things I would like to ask, so that I know I'm taking the best care of my beautiful girl. I recieved a Leopard Gecko from a friend, who couldnt keep her anymore(I say her because I believe she is female-no lumps between her hind legs) but she is horribly skittish and shy. Is there any way I can help her not be so shy? I don't like seeing her get so spooked over things. She's fine when I take her out of the tank for about ten minutes, but then if something happens that spooks her(a loud car outside, a noise on the television, dropping papers) she wants to immediately hide. I also know it could just be in her nature, but I just don't know how normal it is for her to be so skiddish. She is about 2 years old I belive, and I was wondering if maybe getting her a friend to share the tank would be good for her? The tank is a very large fish tank that my friend had given me to house her in. (42.5 long, 13 wide). She has many hiding nooks, at least 6 that are completely dark, and two hollowed logs that were cut in half. The heating pad that I got her covers about half the tank she is in for her to use, but after about a year of use the stickiness on the pad does not work very well so it peels about halway off, amd I'm fixing it daily. What would be a better alternative for her to use thats also not as costly as replacing a heating pad over and over again? Thank you so much!
Keeping multiple geckos together may reduce the skittishness of your gecko, but it may stress her out more and could more easily lead to injuries. I would say that the best solution is to handle her regularly and calmly. But, in my experience, the individual personality of the gecko is a real factor as well. More than anything, just try to enjoy her for the shy little thing that she is :) Heating pads are generally pretty good. I would recommend using a thermostat with them to avoid burns. They should stick on longer than that, but no guarantees. Get the bottom of the tank really clean before applying, and try to avoid sliding the tank in the future. That should help.
Awesome job with your videos mate. I've got a Milk Snake, and he was my second reptile, but really the first one I've had for any length. The first one was actually a garter snake I had rescued from running underneath my lawnmower. I caught him just before he went under, stuck him in an aquarium, but decided wild should stay wild, so I let him go and picked up a milk snake someone was giving away. I've never been struck at by my Milk Snake, (the Garter did repeatedly, but hey, wild is wild right?) in fact he's more likely to hide than strike... but that may just be mine.
I would love to see a detailed video on crested geckos regarding breeding if possible! everything from temperatures, to telling if a gecko is gravid or eggbound, how to handle eggs, and how to handle new born cresties! I think this could help a lot of people who can't find answers on forums or who would rather have a visual to help them, such as checking a gecko to see if she might be eggbound. Thanks for taking the time to read this!
+DerpyQuagsire We plan on doing a series of detailed videos on each of the Top 5 species. So we will definitely cover breeding, just not sure how deep we will go. :)
You deserve way more subs! As someone new to owning reptiles, I will definitely subscribe and continue to watch your videos (: Keep up the good work!
+Kieley Smith Thank you so much!
Best qoute I have ever heard!
"When you're a noodle with a head, the world's a dangerous place"!
I want that on a tee-shirt.
Can you make that into some merch or something?
I would buy that asap.
I also love the “Anything with a mouth can bite!” So, so true!
Instant fan. About to get my first reptile (a beardie). Can't wait to see more!
Thank you! That was a great choice! We will have more our very soon.
BrawlEmAll he's got really good information and I agree. You'll love a bearded dragon.
Remember kids, snakes are introverts, they can handle social interaction, but that drains their "battery"
well said lmao
My friend has described tortioses as "the parrots of the reptile world" because THEY LIVE FOREVER. Honestly if you get a parrot or a tortoise.... you best prepare to put them in your will and make sure who you give it to will take care of them because they can, and probably will out live you.
+Hufflepunk Yes, they are a commitment like no other reptile. They are great though!
But honestly, I would say that parrots are the parrots of the reptile world (as birds fall right in the middle of the reptile group) :)
I have 5 small parrots. I'm 19 and I already have plans for where they'll be living when I have my own place. I haven't even gotten a job or goke through college yet but my birds come with me. One is sitting on my lap "helping" me watch videos. Better than the help they give when you're cleaning more like "mom! I left you a present." I swear some birds will straight up laugh after pooping....mine don't. They do like to mimic coughing and give you a heart attack. Birds don't and can't actually cough....the number of people who don't know this and worry so much after they've been sick and their bird is just imitating them. Now they can sneeze. And they can yawn and the yawning is adorable. I have a rule for myself that any pet I get cannot have a crazy short lifespan because I'm not used to that I've had birds and dogs my whole life and those are not short lived animals. I had a gunia pig for a while but my sister was allergic so I never saw her die
Completely agree. Parrots are literally the most commitment. Tortoises are the parrots of the reptile world. You need a balance varied diet for both. Large husbandry(depending on species) for both. But the mental stimulation and emotional and overall a lifetime commitment of having a parrot is far greater than a tortoise. But the reward of having a parrot is amazing(only if you probably care for your birds) that's why I have two.
I had no idea birds would mimic coughing! My sister's bird (green-cheek conure) does laugh though, and he'll laugh after he's done something mischievous, like after he's pooped on someone or after he's antagonized the dog into scream-howling (the dog hates his squawk so when he squawks, the dog starts scream-howling until either the bird stops or someone yells at the dog). He'll also laugh when he hears other people laughing, but I'd have to say the weirdest times is when he'll laugh watching t.v. At first I thought maybe he was just laughing because he heard an audience laughing, but he'll even laugh sometimes after a joke on a show with no laugh-track and when no one else has started laughing. Birds are just a little too smart for me lol.
omg a new high quality reptile channel that interacts with their viewers. I'm super hyped for your future videos and SUBSCRIBED!!
+Scoops Spectacular!
"Spectacular!"
Undeniably :)
Please don't stop making videos
We won't! We are still working on speeding up our editing process, but we are so encouraged by the reception that we have received, and we are going to keep them coming!
i thought that said please stop and was so confused for a second lol
New leopard gecko owner and I'm just chuffed that there are so many informative, educational, and entertaining channels regarding reptile care. I've learned so much since bringing my gecko home and I feel like I am starting to get the hang of reptile care. (I've long been a mammal pet owner, but I've never had a reptile before.) Your channel is fantastic, so funny. You're a phenomenal teacher!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad we've been helpful, and your feedback really makes my day.
I know you won’t probably read this or even come by it but I just wanted to say thank you for helping me out on this. I had a dream of owning an iguana but you showed me that they are unpredictable so I decided to go for a Ball Python thank you again
Clint! You're enthusiasm is infectious and I love these videos! Could you possibly show off all you pets that you currently have? Would be super interesting and fun.
Thank you! That is a great idea! We will try to get to that. You will also get to see a lot of them in the videos that we have coming out soon!
Do you know you said spectacular 12 times? I love that word. I love that you use that word and all of your other amazing adjectives when describing reptiles.
You seemed so much more at ease in this video than some others. Like what you were saying was less forced and straight from the heart. Keep up the great work
Thank you so much!
Hey mate, first off i love your channel and when are you going to get a shirt that fits? im kidding but I do have a serious question and thats i own a male crested gecko hes probably around 4 years old and he as suddenly gone nuts. Like if i put my hand in the tank to change his food he will jump out from where hes hiding, latch on to my hand and the bite down as hard as his little jaw can bite! he used to be the most chill little dude ever. i have recently changed his substrate from a reptile carpet to a rock/mesh/ eco earth combination to keep the humidity up also put some spring tails in there. Is this just gecko puberty? or is he getting pissed off with something new? He is also going for the kill when im near the tank as well jumping at the glass in my direction etc.
Thank you for your time and keep up the good work!
It is hard to find a shirt that fits. I need to get rich so I can tailor all my shirts :)
Things like reptile mites can cause changes in behavior, but I would imagine that he is either acting due to sexual aggression or hunger. I have a couple of geckos that act a little this way, and I have some ways to cope. I usually spray them in the face just a little when I need to reach into their tank. That seems to keep them from jumping at me. I will also offer them an insect feeder to give them something to do while I mess around in the tank. Mine just seem to be showing a feeding response, so when I get passed their initial feeding response, they are still very handleable. Give that a try and let me know if it works for you.
awesome, brilliant response and highly appreciated! hes definitely not hungry as he is going through food quicker than ever, i think it is to do with the sexual aggression. Thanks again ill try the tips you have given me.
@@complaintsofanenglishman9723: Which brings up another great point: Some animals that many people may buy as cute little babies ( iguanas, for example) , may not realise that they can turn into unholy terrors once puberty hits. Something that might have only been a few inches long as a baby, two years down the line, could be something several feet long; and with sharp teeth, and claws, and even ( in some cases) venom glands. Definitely a case of "Let the buyer beware!"

You're a great educator and I love your personality, you should do great on RUclips! 🙂 We need more channels like this as there are so many videos filled with misinformation on here.
I think a big drawback to blue tongued skinks is what they eat since they need a very varied diet. It's almost like feeding a human child.. if we fed children dog food. It's the main reason I don't want one- a big reason I like geckos so much, their feeding is simple! 😉
Thank you so much! We are having a great time making and sharing these videos.
The nice thing about feeding blue tongues is almost everything can be purchased at the grocery store, but you are right, it does require variety.
I read your comment too fast at first and thought you wrote that blue tongued skinks eat children. Lol
I got an ad for a home security system and it showed various scary things and one of them was a ball python which I just find really funny and also kind of sad how ignorant our culture is about snakes.
Rapidly became my favourite channel to watch. Really want to keep a reptile and thats 50% how much I love them and 50% your enthusiasm! Torn between a hognose snake or a Jeweled lacerta. I'd love a Tegu one day
You have great taste!
I would love to hear more about Rhacodactylus geckos as I recently got myself a young gargoyle gecko! (I also own 2 bearded dragons and dabble in leopard gecko breeding, I'm at 7 leos.)
I look forward to more content from this channel!
+Christywoowoo Rhacodactylus Geckos would be a great video to do. We will have to get around to it. Sounds like you have quite the collection!
I get most of my reptiles from exotic arc pets. Which is a local pet store that specializes in mainly reptiles. The owner even provides Alice cooper with his snakes for his shows. The rest I get from reptile expos. Where you sometimes find the less common, yet great pet reptiles.
I would love to see your video on Tokay geckos! Not that I'm ever planning to get one.. And not that I currently or ever taken care of pet reptiles, although when the moment is right I am definitely going to. I just love your videos and learning all the new information (during this video I even played a game of guessing why certain species didn't make it onto the list).
I just got a ball python best pet hands down. She is great and just a fun fun snake
I’d love to see some care information for the small, cheap animals that people consider disposable. It’s so hard to find good information for green anoles and long tailed lizards, for example.
8:55 too true... when I got my very first KSB, I wasn't familiar with unhealthy signs, and ended up buying one from a breeder that I found out only a day later after a friend pointed it out that she had a major RI to the point she was gasping for air and bubbling. They told me she was yawning cause she was about to shed, well she did shed but she kept her mouth hung open and bubbling. We ended up giving her back, but Im almost certain she died. Next time I got my current adult KSB, i made sure to check it more thoroughly and this time I got a healthy one who is still doing well.
12:55 also true. I started with pre-killed hoppers and my KSB ate one, and never ate another one. I tried a few more times, and still no. She wouldn't eat for 4 weeks, so I tried a live mouse, and she ate it in a heart beat. She refuses to eat anything but live kill, and Ive tried the whole warm up the meal or chicken broth tricks, nope.. only live.
15:00 also, there *are* pet stores that are nice. Petsmart and Petco, not a good idea. However the Pet Bazaar pet store by my house is a very nice, clean, local breeder supplied store that also has very helpful staff and will willingly answer all your "stupid" beginner questions with a smile. Not all pet stores are terrible, but yeah I would stay away from the huge ones like Petsmart.
I love the video! You guys have now become one of my favorite youtubers. I will say, the only thing I /didn't/ like about the video was the weird shuffling (almost like camera zooming out and in noises, not sure how to describe it, I'm sure if you watched the video again you'd notice) throughout the video. It was a little distracting (especially with headphones). Besides that, I love the fact that you include information on all reptiles thouroughly! I thought I was going to see some misconceptions and mistakes but I didn't find any! I only wish these videos were up when I was first deciding on a reptile aha. Thank you for making this channel and being so interactive/respectful with viewers as well :)
+Jolie Klein Thank you! Yes, the noise... At the end of filming the video we realized that the lapel mic was bumping and scraping against reptiles and the table... Too little too late...
If someone had told you that in just three years, your channel would be where it is today, as one of the most well-respected, raddest herp channels on RUclips, diversifying into Amphibians, arachnids, insects, etc, as well as collaborating with solidly established herpetoculturists like Emily+Ed, Dav, and even NERD, what would you say?
Congratulations on three years and 194 videos worth of creating the resource you've always wished you had and here's to many more...
amazing videos and amazing content, you got a new fan and loyal viewer, dont let the haters kill your creativity
Thank you so much! Don't worry, you don't get to be as goofy as I am by listening to the haters :)
I got my crested gecko from a pet store mostly because I felt bad for him. His conditions were too hot and not humid enough, his diet was lacking. If I left him there he may not have survived. However, I didn't buy any of my supplies from them. Hopefully they won't stock more of them in the future if they don't get secondary sales from its sale.
That is always a hard call to make. When I see an animal suffering should I buy it and save that animal but encourage the behavior, or let it suffer so that others won't in the future? Hard choice. Hope your little one is doing well.
I only wished I had you in my life when I was a kid. I might have had a reptile in my life... like the California desert rosy boa that wound up on my doorstep. (Mom hates snakes! Aw...) But you're here now.
GUYS… would a bit of a silly question but would a bearded dragon be okay with a Russian turtle????
I would love to see a video about the Chinese Water Dragon! There arent enough about them on RUclips... (ps: love your vids, keep up the good work)
+MVNPlanet, thank you! A video on water dragons is a great idea! I just love them, and babies are everywhere, but I rarely see adults. Probably not a good sign. We will plan on making a video in the future!
Could you use your whole living space as an enclosure for a reptile? Especially the biggest snakes?
awesome video!
+Christopher Carson Thank you!
Great video, a few audio muffles and noises, but other than that very high quality
We're learning from our past mistakes :)
Hi there, I love your videos, I've been following you guys for about a month. I have a beautiful bearded dragon named Oobi. I love the content and I'm learning quite a bit. Oh yeah, Oobi likes your videos too lol
I subscribed. Specifically because of the high video / sound quality. It's hard to find that in the pet community on youtube. Keep it up.
That will make one member of our team very happy! He works very hard to make our videos look and sound their best. I will make sure he sees this!
I have a horsfield tortoise, I'd love to see some tortoise care videos- especially russian tortoises, they have the best characters. Houdini looks very healthy also
That is in the works :)
Hey, my mom said that I can get a reptile and I want a leopard gecko. We live in an apartment and I am fine with the the insects and so is my mom. WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THIS? ANY ADVISE?
Yes, absolutely! Just make sure to do your homework and have an appropriate enclosure before you buy :)
I’ve heard, now take this with a grain of salt, in Australia, a lot of keepers will recommend blue tongue skinks above bearded dragons for beginner lizards. Again, I’ve only heard this from one person (Brian Barczyck) so take that with a grain of salt.
The cost of the lizard is the only reason beardies are better. In Australia both are inexpensive.
instant fan of ur vids. i really like how enthusiastic u are and how informed and ur vids are
i have a few questions about how i should take care of a beardie tho. i am getting one very soon and was doing my research. i want to know hoe much should i feed it, how big should its tank be, what is the food ratio, how to set up its tank, etc. etc.
so i was thinking if u could do a care vid on bearded dragons cuz i want to offer the best living conditions for my future beardie. thank you very much. :) :)
(i heard u should not keep a beardie on sand because it could cause impaction. just a little thing i heard.)
all in all these are some very high quality vids and i am very thankful that i stumbled onto this channel. thank you again for making these videos
:) :) :)
Thank you for your support! A beardie video is coming soon! Keep doing your homework, and we'll get to work :)
I love your videos and your enthusiasm!
I love your personality! Keep it up!
+Eliza Duty, thank you so much! We definitely will :)
When you're a noodle with a head the world is a dangerous place-clint 2017 lol I'm dead😂😂😂😊 (sorry nyan just had to comment that)
Could you do a video on how to handle, feed, approach snakes in their enclosure?
Love your energy, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! We will keep the videos coming :)
Hi Clint, My son and I recently found you and have been watching all your videos and we just love you! He loves your humerus expressions as do I...he will often replay...what he calls your “funny faces” ..lol. And freeze frame them....p.s. we “play” ...lol...with our reptiles too😜😜I’m a huge animal lover always have been love your Chanel.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me! Hearing that families are enjoying our videos together makes me happier than any other kind of feedback we ever receive. I'll have to throw in some more "funny faces" in the future 😜
Clint's Reptiles thx Clint keep up the great work of educating about our amazing reptile friends!
Love your videos, about to get a beardie for my birthday 👍🏼
i think its funny that corn snake owners claim rats are unhealthy but if you go to ball python groups they claim mice are unhealthy, and largely the claims are identical, that both are high in fat, when in actuality, they are more or less nutritionally identical and appropriate size for your snake really is the biggest concern.
I can agree and disagree with the statement that pet stores are not good for buying reptiles. I got three out of four of my leopard geckos from my local Petsmart. I did it because the treatment of the geckos and all of the reptiles are great in the Petsmart in my area. The Petsmart in my area, keeps the geckos in separate tanks as much as possible, and if they keep them together, they only keep two maximum in one tank. My geckos are completely healthy and they are thriving in their current environment. The only thing I wish I did do, was get them from a good breeder, so that I could breed my males and females.
But I do understand that people don't want to support Petco, I don't have one here in Ontario, and when I went to the states, the conditions of the animals was horrible. I had to leave the store just so that I could stop my self for wanting to yell at the manager.
But I do have a locally run, reptile specialty shop her in my city, and I love going there for my feeders (they sell them in the 1000's for a good price) and they have a vast selection of reptiles available for purchase. I love to go into the store and buy my feeders then take a look around to see the amazing selection. All the more common reptiles like beardies, leopard geckos, ect... Are either bred by the owner, or bred by people that he knows and trusts with their care and quality animals. And the variety of different feeders that I can't get from Petsmart...amazing. I can never get Silk worms or Phoenix worms from Petsmart, but he has them there. In fact I am going to his store on Friday to pick up some Phoenix worms and crickets from him.
Pet shops are evil. Like I said it depends on the store when it comes to Petsmart, and it depends on the type of store too. If you are looking at it from a species specific point of view.
I really enjoyed watching your Top 5 video. I'm an owner of 6 Leopard Geckos, a Bearded Dragon and Red Eared Slider and I can relate entirely with your top 5 choices. I'm considering buying a snake in the near future and have been researching Ball Pythons and Corn Snakes. I found this very entertaining to watch and very informative. "When you're a noodle with a head, the world is a dangerous place." I'll be looking forward to more videos soon!
I live in an area where there is only one pet store that sells reptiles.
So bearded dragons are about 400 dollars
That is rough. Can you obtain them online?
I would love a video about Gargoyle geckos! Considering getting one :)
Deal! Infact, don't be surprised if it happens very soon :)
Clint's Reptiles Awesome! I can't wait! :)

I love my Russian Tortoise. He is fantastic. Small, personable, easy to care for (compared to other turtles). Thanks for mentioning them and I look forward to great videos in the future!
NoisyBiscuit Productions I think you mean compared to other tortoises
Fiona Shepley I’m talking about all turtles.
NoisyBiscuit Productions tortoises and turtles are two different things...
Fiona Shepley a tortoise is a turtle!
NoisyBiscuit Productions no, they’re not. Look it up. Turtles tend to live in the water, tortoises on land. Tortoises also live longer.
Can you do an extensive video on bearded dragons? I want to get one but I'm very confused by their diet. Can they live off of worms and greens only? Or do they NEED crickets/roaches?
+Ashley M, we will! That is one of the next videos to be coming out. For now, a varied diet is better than a diet made of one or two things. You can use worms as a staple, but roaches and crickets should be offered as well when possible.
I’d also like to know life expectancy for the best reptiles you’re suggesting. You mentioned the long life of the Russian Tortoise, but that’s the only lifespan/expectancy I heard you talk about. Thank you!
Russian Tortoises are awesome, but another reason I think they shouldn't necessarily be considered good starter pets is the fact that most Russian tortoises are wild caught, so it's very common for them to have parasites. Also I just hate the fact that the pet trade is damaging the wild population so much. You can find captive bred ones, they're just much less common.
Really good points!
Hello Clint, i live in Izmir, Turkey and can you give me a good place to buy a "Common Leopard Gecko" or a specifict thing like look this in a petshop you buy the reptile. (sorry for my bad english)
I really want a ball python but my mom said no because she said we have to many pets,, any suggestions to convince her?!
Take really, really good care of the pets you have. If she sees that you are responsible and dedicated, I bet she will be more willing to let you take more on.
Clint's Reptiles ok! Thank you so much! And by the way I love your videos!!
Dear Houdini
Would you prefer a Giraffe as a pet, or a Hippo?
Houdini says that mammals are unreasonable pets. But, he is pretty biased...
Hey Clint's Reptiles: Could you also emphasize the fact that there are a number of reptile rescues out there, with pets looking for a good forever home, as well? Just one more place that people shopping for that perfect pet might consider, in addition to pet shops and breeders. Thanks. 😀
i dont understand all the ungrateful people in the world ???
There are a lot of people in the world, bound to be a few :)
To me the biggest con of ball pythons is they are picky eaters and notorious fasters. They also require humidity. I think the rosey boa is actually a better beginner snake. Because they are better eaters and do not require high humidity. The con of rosey boas, is they do not come in as many morphs as ball pythons, they are less common and harder to find. They are generally more expensive to buy, but not very pricey.
I think the best place to get reptiles is the humane society or reptile rescues that rehome. Reputable breeders is a close second though.
his videos quality is so good and he should really make other videos he would do good and he gives such great advice
great video it helped me a lot.
Thank you! I'm so glad it was helpful.
awesome video
+Elijah loves reptiles Thanks so much!
Great info
Thank you so much!
Wow Clint, did you just get back from Mexico in this one? Your tan is on point
cool anybody else see the rainbow sheen on the boa 3:46
I love that about her!
Where's my seroquel clint! GODDAMN IT!!!
Can you do a video on how to identify a healthy animal from breeders or expos? And how not to get duped by sellers.
This might sound weird but your eyes are so alluring 😯
It is a little trick I learned from Sir Hiss in Disney's Robin Hood :)
I'm planning on getting a reptile, but I'm pretty nervous about it, maybe this'll help.
I love your energy clint! Keep making reptile videos and I will definitely watch em! You are a very knowledgeable source and I hope to see more in the future!!^-^
Thank you so much for the awesome feedback! That helps so much! We'll keep 'em coming!
Really enjoyed this video. :)

I can get blue tounged skinks for 35$ EASILY, so i am getting a blue tounged skink ( in 5 months ), thank you clint
Dear Houdini,
I think you did great in this video but maybe next time share the spot light with Clint a little I mean it is his show afterall.
Hey i love breaded dragon. Like you said blue tough scinck is better than a bready rude
Would you do a armadillo lizard video and about the different types and how to keep them
Cool but when are you gonna upload your next video?
Very soon!!!!! :D
Clint's Reptiles yay
Did you ever do that “worst beginner pets” video? Would still love to see that video
Dear Houdini, I wonder, how old are you? Also....video about a russian tortoise would be awesome!
1000th like
Here are my suggestions for top 5 worst reptiles for beginners:
1. Anoles. People like to buy them because they are readily available just about anywhere, they're small, and they're probably the cheapest reptile you'll ever buy (just talking about cost of the reptile itself). But I think they're bad for beginners because they are very fast, do not tolerate handling very well, they bite, and while they are cheap, they still require the same set-up, care, and lighting that other diurnal reptiles need (calcium supplement, UVB lighting, heat, room to run/climb/hide).
2. Terrapins (African Sideneck, Red-eared slider, etc.). The first reason these guys are bad for beginners are they have complex needs: they are omnivores who need a variety of formulated pellets, live insects, live or frozen/thawed fish, veggies, fruits. They also are semi-aquatic, and need plenty of space for swimming, walking, and basking. The second reason they are bad for beginners is because they are unfortunately invasive in many areas of the U.S. Many new reptile keepers realize after the fact what a big commitment they are, and have trouble re-homing them, so they release them into the environment, where they out-compete and sometimes eat native species, but nothing in that environment really knows how to eat them because they get so much larger than native terrapins.
3. Chameleons. They're cute, amazing, and don't get too big, but many of them get stressed easily with handling, and they have very specific humidity/enclosure needs: they really need a constant mist for proper hydration, but you have to be careful because if their environment gets too humid, mold can grow and they can actually get what I guess is essentially a mold infection that usually best-case scenario means they need an emergency trip to the vet for amputation of the affected limb, and of course worst-case scenario it becomes deadly before you notice it in time to take action (an experienced keeper may not miss these signs, but a beginner keeper definitely could miss them).
4. Bullfrogs. I know, they're not technically a reptile, but often in the pet trade "reptile" is used interchangeably with herps, and I think anyone considering keeping a pet herp for the first time should know about the issues with keeping bullfrogs. Bullfrogs are invasive where I live (Pacific Northwest), so there are some people who think catching and keeping a bullfrog (or bullfrog tadpole) as a pet is a good idea. While it might be okay for someone who really knows what they're getting into, they're just not a good fit for beginners. They get enormous, they're really loud (so definitely not a good option for apartment dwellers), they eat a lot (for a frog), and the main reason I think they're not a good idea for beginners is that they are illegal to release (at least in areas where they are invasive). I think people think "Oh I'll catch one, and if it doesn't work out, big deal, I'll just put it back where I found it." The problem is is if you live in an area where they are invasive, catching and releasing a bullfrog is considered a crime, even if you only caught it for two seconds and then let it go. This seems like a strict law, but the reason for it is so that pet owners bringing them into an environment and releasing them can't use the "I just found it here" excuse; once you catch one of these frogs, they are your responsibility, and if they end up not working out for you, there really aren't many resources for re-homing them, unless you surrender them to a wildlife department where it will be euthanized.
5. Iguana. Maybe this one isn't very fair to put on the list, but I think it's something for new reptile keepers to keep in mind. For one thing, they start out as adorable little babies, but they get huge. This means they need large enclosures and maybe even open space to roam for at least part of the day. They also need appropriate lighting/heating for those big enclosures, so that could get expensive. They also need lots of different fresh vegetables (which I guess isn't really that big of a deal for some people).
6 (bonus). Big snakes. You kind of touched on this a little bit with the common boa, but I'm talking about REALLY big snakes: Burmese pythons, African rock pythons, anacondas, etc. These are all snakes that can't be safely handled by just one person (so it's not just one person making a long-term commitment, it's at least two or more depending on how big the snake can get). Definitely not something anyone new (or even intermediate) to keeping reptiles should really be considering. (I think it could maybe even be argued that they aren't a good idea for anyone, but I would say even if you do think they're alright to keep as pets, they definitely aren't for beginners.)
Anyway, those are just some I thought of. I also think maybe a best beginner reptile(s) that you did not include would be the smaller boas: Kenyan sand boas and Rosy boas. They don't get large (Kenyan sand boas max at 3 ft, Rosy boas max at 4 ft), they're docile, easy to handle, and their cage set-up isn't too complicated.
Definitely not as simple as their prices would suggest. Any reptile can be wrong if you don't know what you are getting or what it needs. That happens far more with inexpensive reptiles like these.
Okay now you said the word spectacular 15 times
Great content Clint:-) Thanks for sharing. Subscribed...
Thank you for the great feedback. Glad to have you as a new subscriber! Be sure to check out our other videos. More coming soon!
Just watched your best pet reptiles video I have all but one of those reptiles
Thinking about getting a ball python. I love the panda pied morph and pastel ivory! Can you go over why some morphs are are more expensive then others? I unterstand some are harder to breed but idk I think morphs in emerald would make a SPECTACULAR video
+Winter Chan, we will do that for sure! Panda pieds are pretty indeed.
I might be getting a first reptile in few weeks, I live in a house with my mom and dad, two dogs, two cats that are pretty easygoing, what reptile do you think would be good? I'd really appreciate it.
I'd like a reptile to chill with while I sit on my bed. I'd also like a reptile with a personality that I could bond with.
Loved the videos! Im a very new reptile keeper(It has only been a year since I got my gecko) and I have a couple of things I would like to ask, so that I know I'm taking the best care of my beautiful girl.
I recieved a Leopard Gecko from a friend, who couldnt keep her anymore(I say her because I believe she is female-no lumps between her hind legs) but she is horribly skittish and shy. Is there any way I can help her not be so shy? I don't like seeing her get so spooked over things. She's fine when I take her out of the tank for about ten minutes, but then if something happens that spooks her(a loud car outside, a noise on the television, dropping papers) she wants to immediately hide. I also know it could just be in her nature, but I just don't know how normal it is for her to be so skiddish.
She is about 2 years old I belive, and I was wondering if maybe getting her a friend to share the tank would be good for her? The tank is a very large fish tank that my friend had given me to house her in. (42.5 long, 13 wide). She has many hiding nooks, at least 6 that are completely dark, and two hollowed logs that were cut in half.
The heating pad that I got her covers about half the tank she is in for her to use, but after about a year of use the stickiness on the pad does not work very well so it peels about halway off, amd I'm fixing it daily. What would be a better alternative for her to use thats also not as costly as replacing a heating pad over and over again?
Thank you so much!
Keeping multiple geckos together may reduce the skittishness of your gecko, but it may stress her out more and could more easily lead to injuries. I would say that the best solution is to handle her regularly and calmly. But, in my experience, the individual personality of the gecko is a real factor as well. More than anything, just try to enjoy her for the shy little thing that she is :)
Heating pads are generally pretty good. I would recommend using a thermostat with them to avoid burns. They should stick on longer than that, but no guarantees. Get the bottom of the tank really clean before applying, and try to avoid sliding the tank in the future. That should help.
Thank you!
I love this channel haha! Just found it oWo
You should make a video on the best beginner breeder reptiles next.
Awesome job with your videos mate. I've got a Milk Snake, and he was my second reptile, but really the first one I've had for any length. The first one was actually a garter snake I had rescued from running underneath my lawnmower. I caught him just before he went under, stuck him in an aquarium, but decided wild should stay wild, so I let him go and picked up a milk snake someone was giving away. I've never been struck at by my Milk Snake, (the Garter did repeatedly, but hey, wild is wild right?) in fact he's more likely to hide than strike... but that may just be mine.
I would love to see a detailed video on crested geckos regarding breeding if possible! everything from temperatures, to telling if a gecko is gravid or eggbound, how to handle eggs, and how to handle new born cresties! I think this could help a lot of people who can't find answers on forums or who would rather have a visual to help them, such as checking a gecko to see if she might be eggbound. Thanks for taking the time to read this!
+DerpyQuagsire We plan on doing a series of detailed videos on each of the Top 5 species. So we will definitely cover breeding, just not sure how deep we will go. :)
What about uromastyx? Are those not for beginners?
if I knew him, Clint would be my best friend.
