    It's so true that spray bottles disappear when you need them most, and as soon as you buy a new one, the old one magically reappears. I think my parrot is hiding them from me.
    And yes, smart plugs are such a life saver! My parrot has a full spectrum light that stays on for 12 hours, and it is so nice not having to worry about turning it on or off. Having it turn off automatically also reminds me that it's time to put her to bed, which is wonderful if you're as forgetful as I am.

    I like the list, the only thing that I would add to that is a pair of tongs for feeding. Sometimes it's nice to "hand feed" smaller reptiles with tongs and also for holding rats when feeding snakes. Keep up the content, you're killin it!

    This is embarrassing to ask because I own three pet stores, 2 of which are reptile focused. I also have a large collection of ball pythons I am breeding. I can find a lot of bluetooth thermometers (not thermostats), but that's only good if I am home or at the stores, which is frequently not the case. I am trying to find wifi thermometers. Is this a thing? You are so good at finding reasonably priced solutions, hoping you know of something.

    I'm not saying what you are doing is wrong, I just think there should be some clarification. There's a difference between cleaning and disinfecting. I don't know what the bottle says on the F10. Maybe it's a cleaner and disinfectant all in one...but best practice that I was taught as a vet tech is to clean your surfaces first and like you said Dawn and water will do that job fine. Then once the that's rinsed off, you can spray more lightly with the disinfectant. Also disinfectants need contact time, whatever the bottle says. Then wipe that off. Your disinfectant will last longer and you'll use fewer paper towels b/c you're not trying to pick up dirt and dry off the spray at the same time. Disinfectants work less well in the presence of dirt.

(Thankfully I haven't gotten grabbed by him yet, but not for his lack of trying!) I also have a few larger carpets and have been locked on before by them... When they don't let go, a little shot in the mouth with the sanitizer works every time... So when we work with the burm, sanitizer is at the top of the list! Love your videos and your charisma!

    Smart plugs are great, but I usually opt for a mechanical timer switch more often then not because my internet provider can be a mess sometimes and when my smart plugs lose connection because there’s an outage, they don’t cycle properly. Mechanical timer only has an issue when the power goes out, which is a bigger issue overall for reptiles!!

    I use a combo temperature and humidity seonsor in my bathroom to automate the exhaust fan when the humidity rises (taking a shower). I see no reason not to put a pair of these in an animals enclosure to regulate the warm side, as well as giving details of the delta between the warm and cool side of an enclosure. Effectivly giving you an on/off thermostat. You could bury them in the substrate, put them on a basking ledge etc and they'll report back to the hub, and control the smart plug with a suitable automation.

    Another thing to add to the F10 thing. So many people use a water/vinegar solution to clean after their reptiles. Vinegar doesn’t remove bacteria/parasites/fungus. If it did we wouldn’t have all of our cleaning products and vets would use that. Use something that is meant for removing bacteria!

    You missed one of the most important things every animal keeper needs (not just reptile keepers)
    A decent water filter (like a tap filter or even better a gravity fed filter like a brita)
    A water filter will increase the longevity of your misters (I would always advice getting gloria misters because it's buy once cry once) and misting systems, reduce scaling on glass, dechlorinates the water, is better for your animals, is a lot cheaper than buying bottled water, doesn't damage the animals like reverse osmosis or distilled water and it also makes the water taste better if you want to drink it yourself
    I use a brita filter and filter my misting water twice and would advice everyone to do the same
