I love these lists. And I think they should be made without fear of being ridiculed. Everyone has their own things going on in life and their own limitations. And that goes for the hardiness/vacation reptile ones too. We all love these animals, and thats the common ground we should focus on and not judge each other for the way we keep animals (excluding the obviously bad people ie abusive/neglectful, or greedy people. But those people aren't watching these videos anyway)
But there are situations where a container is too small for an animal. The limitations aren't meant to be mean for people. It's for the welfare of the animal. Like I want a boa constrictor, but I don't have the room to properly house one
@kplooki totally agree. That's why i like these lists. They help the people that have limitations and want something that they can love and these lists help them find something other than the usually animals everyone recommends that end up being to big for the tank. I wasn't justifying people that want to put a full grown boa in a 40 gal tank just because they want an animal. I just meant some people can't get a 4×2 enclosure to fit a cool animal but don't want a leopard gecko. And Adam is good at finding the unique animals like that, which is why i like when he makes these. I just don't think he should have to worry about being attacked for it. But i don't think someone putting a boa in a 40 gal tank is going to be watching these either so this doesn't help them
Due to typical sizes, the amount of reptiles is limited for a 20 gal but among amphibians there is no shortage of frogs, tree fogs and toads that do well, for life, in a 20 gal enclosure.
I had a green anole once (my daughter's). It loved to sit on my shoulder or head while I worked then would jump back into its enclosure. Cutest thing in the world.
I currently have a wild saved baby. She's about 3 months old, born in my outdoor spider plant. Found her hurt one day, kept her in to heal. She ended up staying and she's the absolute sweetest! Not skittish at all, since she's been handled since she was days old. She'll just sit on my hand, neck, chest, and just sleep ❤
@@drewzero1most sold in the store are wild caught, so they're super skittish. Getting them very young and hand feeding, or getting one from a breeder if you can find, would be best. My girl jumps into my hand, and snuggles in, full sploot
I recommend for any gecko fan without much space a flying gecko. I currently keep one and he is a charm. He isn't great for handling but is EXTREMELY active during the night, which for me is great since I don't go to sleep until 9-10 and he is usually up by then partying. He is definitely my most active friend.
Add to that the fact that they are beautiful!!! I saw my first flying gecko at the pet store I go to last week. The webbed feet and frilly tail... OMG I was in love immediately.
Dekay's brown snakes (my b if not spelled right) are the snake I get the most in my area. We get a TON of slugs during the spring and summer months so they're EVERYWHERE around here during that time. My neighbor once found one that was over a foot.
I have a green anole, shes about 3 months old. Shes an anole that doesn't mind being handled. She'll often snooze on me at night, and jumps into my hand on her own. She's wild born, her and many siblings in my spider plant. Been handled for a while since i found her pretty banged up a few days old. She is now a cushy house anole while her siblings deal with cold snaps 😅
I haven't been able to find Dekay's at all for sale in the US. Still keeping my eye out for CB. Maybe someday I'll get lucky🤞 They're absolutely adorable!
The funny thing about green anoles for me is, I have always seen them running around outside, so they aren’t that special for me. And I never had any idea that some people kept them as pets. Me personally, I wouldn’t keep them because they are all around outside😂, but they are kinda cute.
love your videos!, i’ve been into reptiles for a while now and i’m just now starting to get more, any special tips on how to manage having many reptiles?
I’ve been thinking about keeping a Lined Snake (Tropidoclonion lineatum). Would be a cool smaller pet reptile to keep if you’re okay with feeding earthworms. Fairly small snakes and pretty unique (in my opinion, lol)
What can I put in my 20 gallon long to control my out of control dairy cow isopod herd? Isopods and springtails are currently the only thing in the tank. It was meant to be a bioactive setup but my snake is to small currently for the 20 gallon and the isopods ate the plants I was trying to get started in there.
DEKAYS ARE MY FAVE NATIVE SNAKE!!! Sassy little guys. They are Just like a chihuahua. All bark n no bite. I rescue these all the time from pools, houses and roadways. Fiesty cuties
I'm looking to keep a mating pair of green anole in a 20 tall. I breed fish but my kid is getting me into the lizards... Would this be enough tank for them or should I dust off a 40 breeder? I have plenty of driftwood and plants. Planned on a climbing environment
Hi! I’m planning on adding a large palidarium soon and am looking at housing 1-2 garder snakes and would love to know if they can cohab with any other animals, I have been researching but just can’t seem to find a straight forward answer from a reliable source!
I don't know why I want to list a few fish that could probably stay in a 20 gallon tank: neon tetras, dwarf gourami, and guppies. My mom and I had 50 gallon fish tanks each at 1 point and we kept some goldfish in those tanks, but my tank leaked and Mom didnt want to keep her tank. Goldfish and plecos/ sucker fish get BIG. Anyway thank you for making these kinds of videos. I haven't heard the snakes in this video before and forgotten about red eyed tree frogs. I thought Canada would be like parts of Europe and be too cold for snakes.
Hey Adam you ever think of also uploading podcasts of your videos, most of the time I listen to them without watching and it wouldn't be that hard, just extract the audio
Do you think, like many other snakes, the rubber boa is a lizard specialist for the first year leading them to not eat in captivity the first year because proper food is unavailable?
Both geckos now reside inside 4x2x2 enclosures, more than enough room. Crested Gecko only uses part of it. There'd be plenty of room for an anole or two, except their ecological requirements are simply too different from her.
I'd also say sand boas. Males especially. Males get just a little over a foot long and females 2ft and could live comfy in a 20 gal. Only downside is it might look like an empty decorated tank for 90% of the time till they decide to pop out and say hello, which is rare.
I have an extra 20g long, well I thinks it’s a 25g, zoo med front open. Been debating getting something to put in it. I wish corns could stay in a 20g forever, they are the EASIEST snakes to keep, they just need bigger tanks. I could get a baby they will be little enough for at least first 2 years, but then I’d have an empty tank again when they upgrade. I have a Kenyan Sand Boa is one but I don’t think I’d get another one they don’t eat like boas! Especially the males. Sue drives me crazy he eats like a ball pythons. I need to research rubber boas more, if they are super picky I don’t want one. Part of why I like corns, they never refuse a meal, mine will even eat in blue. Going to have to go back and watch all 4 parts of the 20g for life and the 10g video, is there one a 10g video, I’ll make a list of everything you suggest and do some research. These videos always remind me I have an empty tank, I put it out in my shed, so it’s out of sight out of mind. 😂 unrelated I have a tort house too, which would make an ok winter house for a small tort or box turtle when they have to be inside. Ok off to watch. Ore videos and do some research
I should not be watching this at all! I swore to not get any reptiles/amphibians ever again! Hahaha. I got numerous 20L and 40L in an out storage and a huge odd shaped tank a friend made yrs ago

Yeah, both of my frogs matured at 20 gallons, so space requirements definitely aren’t a problem for them!
I had a green anole once (my daughter's). It loved to sit on my shoulder or head while I worked then would jump back into its enclosure. Cutest thing in the world.
That's awesome, sounds super adorable! I've always wanted an anole but had heard they couldn't be handled.
@@drewzero1 I guess it depends on the animal? I really didn't do anything extra with it so I suppose he was just friendly by nature.
I currently have a wild saved baby. She's about 3 months old, born in my outdoor spider plant. Found her hurt one day, kept her in to heal. She ended up staying and she's the absolute sweetest!

Leopard Geckos are the easiest
Hey WWR, you should do a video on the five best reptile cohabitations. I know you already did a video on cohabiting but you should do a part 2
YES!
That would be great
👍👍👍
Finally getting a 120 gallon enclosure for my beardie! I have had him for 3 years officially tomorrow as he was rehoused to me during the pandemic.
love to hear it!
@@WickensWickedReptileshey better late than never!
I think a colony of anoles in a 55 - 100 gallon planted tank would be SUPER fun enclosure to view.
I’m debating doing it in a 24x18x36 rn 😂
I have 4 anoles in my 37. It's 30"x12"x24"
This was a very practical topic and won my subscription. Nice video.
I really appreciate it thank you!
The snake in the background at 2:54 😂
“Let me out before I throw rocks at your window you stupid-“

theres rubber boas in oregon too!! you cant catch them in the wild because of "laws" but theyre still pretty cool

Could you mention lifespans when you talk about keeping animals as pets, if and when you can, please? :)
This was your best sponsor shoutout I’ve seen lol that transition was good
Haha thank you
4:58 It looks like Annaliese was speaking with your voice.
HAHAHAHAHAA
I haven't been able to find Dekay's at all for sale in the US. Still keeping my eye out for CB. Maybe someday I'll get lucky🤞 They're absolutely adorable!
Me too
I had some rubber boas when I was younger. The weirdest, coolest little boas. Reminded me of large earthworms.
I cannot find them ti save my life
I love your video wickens wicked reptile happy Memorial Day have a super day have a great day have a nice day
The funny thing about green anoles for me is, I have always seen them running around outside, so they aren’t that special for me. And I never had any idea that some people kept them as pets. Me personally, I wouldn’t keep them because they are all around outside😂, but they are kinda cute.
What a FANTASTIC thumbnail you chose! 🤩😅
Back at it again with another banger.
One of the fun things about watching Anoles is watching the males display their dewlap and head bob.
Thank you for another awesome list 😊
love your videos!, i’ve been into reptiles for a while now and i’m just now starting to get more, any special tips on how to manage having many reptiles?

8:00 🕗 the snake climbing on the tank
After three reptiles, I do in fact have a 20 gallon lying around! Thanks Adam!

Cave Gecko?
Diamond is so Chilled in this episode , He isn't in the mood to chew Your ears.
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
thank you sooo muchg. I have been wondering what I could keep in a 20 gallon enclosure.
I have a couple of open enclosures, not 20 gallon, but smaller. I'm already getting them ready for future inhabitants 😂
the struggle is real
@@WickensWickedReptiles this is why you’re my favorite reptile RUclipsr, you interact with your community, I know others do, but not to your extent
Having an empty enclosure is 100% a reason to buy a new reptile!!
Hey adam what advice do you have for someone looking to breed crested geckos
check out videos from breeders :)
As luck would have it I have a 20 gallon in my garage. One of the big panels is cracked though. Can't be to difficult to replace.
beauty!
Anols... living in Florida these things are everywhere. I was thrown when I saw them for sale for $17 in West Virginia lol
Cool list! You have some surprises in there; i wouldn't have thought of the RETFs or either of the snakes. Good research, Mr. Wickens!😊
thanks for watching!
DEKAYS ARE MY FAVE NATIVE SNAKE!!! Sassy little guys. They are Just like a chihuahua. All bark n no bite. I rescue these all the time from pools, houses and roadways. Fiesty cuties
Awesome video! I never new that red eyed tree frogs where actually reed frogs!
Granite some of these, I never heard of but can you keep something like a blue tailed Skink in a twenty gallon encloser long
I have a 20g and a 30g so I’m putting leopard gecko in the 30 and a few hermit crabs in the 20
I love to hear that!
I love this video so so so much do u think u could do a part 6
Or 5 whatever part u were doing 😂lol
PS, the link to brilliant in the caption isnt correct (/url)
fixed :)
As a broke child I see this list as an absolute win!
Is this channel not showing up on your main pages or is it just mine. I have to type this channel in to see it.
I’m planning on using my twenty gallon enclosure for blue death feigning beetles. Right now my corn is in it because his 4x2x2 isn’t finished yet
I'm looking to keep a mating pair of green anole in a 20 tall. I breed fish but my kid is getting me into the lizards... Would this be enough tank for them or should I dust off a 40 breeder? I have plenty of driftwood and plants. Planned on a climbing environment
I know this is a weird question, but can you make a video on house, geckos, and how to keep them
for sure!
Hi! I’m planning on adding a large palidarium soon and am looking at housing 1-2 garder snakes and would love to know if they can cohab with any other animals, I have been researching but just can’t seem to find a straight forward answer from a reliable source!
I’ve been looking for a rubber boas for about the last five years and I haven’t seem to come across one yet. Am I just looking in the wrong places??
Lol I had two 20s, a long and a tall that were QT tanks for my fish, now one has a black house snake and one has a pair of green anoles
I don't know why I want to list a few fish that could probably stay in a 20 gallon tank: neon tetras, dwarf gourami, and guppies.

We have rubber boas here in Washington super cool 🐍
Hey Adam you ever think of also uploading podcasts of your videos, most of the time I listen to them without watching and it wouldn't be that hard, just extract the audio
Can you do one of these for 40 gallons? Im about to upgrade my ball python to a much bigger enclosure so I'll have an empty 40 gallon 😁
Left side of his neck all Red from Diamond 😂
Do you think, like many other snakes, the rubber boa is a lizard specialist for the first year leading them to not eat in captivity the first year because proper food is unavailable?
That would be easy enough to test if one had a colony of mourning geckos and some baby rubber boas (or a teeny tiny lizard reptilink?)
can you do beginner reptiles with 10 gallons
The way ıt writes like top 5 reptiles that can live ın a 20 gallon tank FOREVER ıts so cruel terrifying and also funny
I love reptiles and I have a 20 gallon tank in my basement
what kind/.?
Hopefully, assuming everything goes according, I should be able to get a Madagascar collared iguana (Oplurus cuvieri)
Can u do a video --------> "Schneider skink vs bearded dragon which one is better?"
how do you spell duquays brown snakes
where i get rubber boa
Should I get a ball python or stick to corn snakes and get a morph
We gonna ignore that snake trying to escape 😂
I was expecting pygmy chameleons on this list. They like to stay low to the ground.
Who said canadian are not funny?❤❤❤
noone ever, duhhh haha

Sandboas was in his last video 😊
I would never leave you room with all your pets in it lmao
I think green anoles are amazing and I’ve raised mine since I was a baby’s.also I think they handle great but still.
Damn, that's getting started young
Yeah I’ve been breeding them for few years
Ouch! Best, the math teacher mumbling in your ear 😅
You should do another enclosure rating video. I would love to get mine roasted by you😂.
Is a crested gecko one
And here I am keeping a curly hair tarantula in a 20 liter tank 😅
I accidently killed my green anole bc I didn't give it uvb when I first got it, and that is why I will not get a nother one
Would it be ok with satanic leaf tailed??? Anyone know
