Top Five Worst pet reptiles for begginers in my personal opinion: 1. King Cobras 2. Black Mambas 3. Nile Crocodiles 4. Saltwater Crocodiles 5. Green Iguanas
Boaman5435 SNAKES you forgot one. A FRICKEN AMERICAN ALLIGATOR. I’m looking at you, Snake Discovery. ( not trying to hate on Emily. She’s my favorite youtuber.)
Well atleast the food is easy since you can find them at the grocery store but the maintenance is beyond impossible And plus they are really picky with what you give them
If anything, I’d call ball pythons “cuddly”. We had one in my seventh grade class, and Monty loved nothing more than to relax in our sleeves and soak up our body heat. He was an absolute snuggle bug.
Repeat after me: Don't get your young children a pet if you're unwilling to take care of it if the child lose interest. especially the more fragile ones like the anole. My mom's a teacher and she got multiple students bring her their anole because they bought it cheap on a whim and did not know they had to eat live insects or needed lights and heat.
Yeah I honestly don’t think kids should have pets until they’re at a certain age, but having them help take care of like a family pet or something can be a good option, that way the responsibility isn’t solely on them and they can learn what it takes to take care of a pet But that’s just my opinion at least. Point is that pets of any kind, no matter how “low maintenance”, aren’t meant to be bought like toys to entertain your child and be discarded once they get bored, they’re living creatures and you need to be invested into their care for as long as they live
+Jaxon L, we actually find the Australian saltwater crocodile to be more rewarding than the alligator snapping turtle for the average first-time reptile keeper, and the spitting cobra over the coral snake. However, with those two exceptions, you have named numbers 6-10 in our 10 Best Beginner Reptiles :)
Awful, true story, with a happy ending: I had to leave my adult leopard gecko with my sister while I worked away from home for 7 months. She almost never fed it😠😭 However, I carefully started feeding her again. She completely bounced back and lived for another 3 years after that. VERY durable lizards.
Wow, your production quality is insane compared to the amount of subs/views you're getting! Keep this up and I think this channels gonna grow like crazy.
@@bendyriper1125 , there are some videos with good taming techniques on RUclips. I use some of the techniques with my Alligator Snapping Turtle and I can handle him without him even opening his mouth.
Shoot, a lot of pets can do that. The last betta fish I owned would literally rip out the aquarium plants if I didn't feed him on time. Other than his temper tantrums, he was a sweetheart. The little guy would watch me play video games and loved it when I talked to him.
Definitely can’t go wrong with a leopard gecko. I’ve had mine for five years now, and it is the best pet I have ever had! He is adorable, very easy to care for, and likes being handled.
That is a matter of opinion. They seem to feed and behave normally in 10, 15 and 20 gallon tanks. That said, unless the tank is so large that they cannot find food, bigger is probably better. We honestly don't know what makes them "happy". I will be sure to mention this in the future when we talk about housing crested geckos.

I had an opportunity back in 2019 to hold a corn snake because they had one out at my local Petsmart so I held it and instantly fell even more in love with snakes 😍
It’s been a year since I first got interested in reptiles and I watched this video, I now have a 8 month old corn snake I’ve been raising 5-6 months and I am so glad I watched this video and your video on corn snakes. Cornelius is growing well, eating fuzzies, shedding regularly and may be able to move on to hoppers soon, and I’ve never been happier.
Shield n Axe gaming she’s doing great! She’s very curious and super sweet. She’s grown so much too. When I got her she was 16-17in and now she’s 29-30in. Her Instagram page is calypso.the.boopsnoot if you’d like to see her😊
@@Arymuru nope, never. The worst she's done was hiss at me, but once I pick her up she instantly stops. But from everyone i've heard from that has gotten bit, says it doesn't hurt at all, its mostly just surprise
Four years after the release of this video, I’m pretty sure that between me and my kids, I’ll eventually own each of these animals. After finding Clint’s Reptiles about a year and a half ago, I’ve watched every single video (minus a small handful of the live streams) and I’ve watched a dozen or so of them MULTIPLE times! Clint has introduced me to multiple other channels that I love in addition to this one, and I’m beyond thrilled that the Clint Explains channel is up and running too!!! After about a year of searching and going back and forth, I decided to start my snake keeping life with a very handsome little corn snake, and I have to say, it’s BY FAR the most awesome pet I’ve ever had relative to the amount of money and effort required. I love my dogs, I love my cat, but they are many many times more work than my wonderful little corn snake is. Thank you for all your hard work Clint and crew, you have improved my life and I try to share your videos with as many people as I can. Love and prayers from Ohio.
i love this video, it got me to take a job where i get to handle and care for some of these reptiles and lead me to recently getting a crestie from a local exotic pet rescue. i didnt know how much i loved these creatures until i started watching this channel and others like it so im grateful for the valuable information it provides.
Funny, when people talk about bearded dragons as great pets, they never mention how horrible their poop stinks and how messy in the cage they are. Which is important to mention to parents who are considering that lizard.
Valid point. We plan on going into the finer details of the Bearded Dragon in its own series of videos. We will be sure to cover it's smellier aspects. Thanks!
I don't mind it at all, because the poop dries up so fast under the heatlamp. I have reptile carpet and usually i can pick the poop right up with a piece of toilet paper. The only time she really made a mess was when she was either gravid and digging, or digging for pieces of fruit in her greens. if the poop smells REALLY bad it could be parasites and you need to take your beardie to the doctor. all poop stinks, and you're not gonna find an animal who doesn't have smelly poop!!! with newspaper you can also just change it as soon as your beardie poops, throw it away, (along with any scattered food), and lay down new news paper. I clean up poop as soon as i can and wash the carpet about once a week. I will admit, one time she had a little diarrhea (no more peaches for khaleesi...) and stepped in it, and smeared it EVERYWHERE! Yuck! 🤢 But it'll always be worth it to me. If you have an adult who is a good aim while eating you can consider sand, though not recommended it makes poop super easy to clean, almost like kitty litter. you just need to pay a bit more attention in making sure the lizard is healthy and be willing to take the sand out if something is wrong.
They also never mention what picky eaters they are one month they’ll love crickets and the next they won’t even look at them this can scare and stress the hell out of a new owner
Me and my roommates laugh when it comes to the leopard gecko because you said they don't jump, but out of the five that we own between the three of us we have 3 suicide divers XD
Ahhh, I wish my python wasn't so filled with energy sometimes, but it's weird how he'll legitimately watch the TV if what he sees interests him. Great video! I'm getting a leopard gecko to start on lizards 😎
I keep my bearded dragon in the living room where she can see the TV from her enclosure. She seems to like "American Gods." My last dragon was obsessed with Rey Mysterio videos on RUclips lmao.
Thank you so much for these videos. We actually did get a baby bearded dragon and a blue tongue skink a few weeks ago. You really helped us out as first reptile owners!
great video. but some points im missing in this video: 1. i wouldve liked if you also said something about what size of habitat they need 2. all of these are affordable but that means different things for different ppl so a verry broad price wouldve been awesome 3. a few words on how old they get wouldve been nice 4. i also wouldve liked something on their social behavior towards each other, as an example if you put multiple male leopard geckos in one habitat you will sooner or later end up with one leopard gecko etc, stuff like that but overall a great video
Thank you for the suggestions. We cover some of those things in the more in-depth videos we have made about each one of these species. Have you seen those yet?
btw one more thing: i personaly would love to see you showcasing an example habitat if you are talking about reptiles etc i mean numbers for habitat size n all is one thing but seeing it in perspective is another thing and i mean most habitats are fairly big so you also have to see if you like the esthetics of a good habitat for a reptilian some ppl might prefer a desert like habitat estheticaly but thats not good for all reptiles. other ppl might enjoy the looks of a jungle like habitat but that also isnt ideal for all reptiles so yead i would love that also it doesnt even have to be a a full clip or anything just one or two pictures would already be more then enough for me : one to see the broad dimensions of an ideal habitat and one that showcases the esthetics of an ideal habitat for what ever reptilian you are making a video on
yes that is a good point but especialy something like how old they get/how much space they need are realy important informations especialy for beginners and since this video is mainly for beginners. so as a beginner i will look at this video to know what i get into and the video misses its purpose if it doesnt answer important beginners questions (in my eyes)
Coming back to this video 4 years later. It was really helpful for me to explore my options for reptiles. I have bought 3 out of 5 of the reptiles on this list and long term fostered another. Definitely my top picks are my beardie and corn snake. Thanks, Clint!
Its because of this video that I bought a Corn Snake. Now, 6 months later, I have no regrets except for the fact that I didn't see your channel sooner.
Completely agree I always recommend corn snakes as far as colubrids ease of care and relatively calm beardies are wonderful for first lizards but do require high levels of UVB light and a correct diet.
Omg we almost have the same list! Except I’ll switch the komodo dragon with a box jellyfish. Problem is it’s not visible in water but it’s okay cause you can just scoop it up to bond with it.
The best point of attraction, besides the information is the fact that you seam to be very knowledgeable, highly passionate and you are genuinely having fun doing the video. I guess this is the combo that insured the success of the video. Great watch, Dan
I used to have 2 bearded dragons when I was little. They were great but not great for me. We gave them to a good home. I wanna get back into lizards and I think a gecko is more for me. I used to have one but he was sick when we got him so he passed after a few months. I’d like to get another one day. You have a great channel and keep up the good work :)
Thank you:) I suffer from depression and I love to take care of animals and I've hadn't had much energy lately but I really want to reptile thank you so much:)
I had actually planned on getting a Crested Gecko for my birthday, and I was completely allowed to do so. They're so friggin cute too I'm glad this was up here because this is my first reptile, and I wanted to make sure I wasn't challenging myself to much with one
I’m saving up my money for a crested gecko! I’ve wanted one for a while and I’ve done tons of research. And then, my older brother got one and then it was final, I wanted to get one for sure. And now that’s what I’m doing! (Btw my pfp is my brothers crested gecko)
I don't think you'll be disappointed in the least! They are amazing. Make sure to do your homework before you get one, have your setup ready, and find a good breeder. We will have more videos coming out on them in the future. Subscribe and stay tuned :)
I have several new caledonian geckos, and the Gargoyle is by far my favourite. I think they are smarter than Cresties tbh. Tons of personality, beautiful morphs, easy to handle and satisfyingly chunky. Gargoyles for the win.
I have a bearded dragon, I've had him for 3 years he's a great pet not that high on maintenance and easy to get along with. Care for them is a decent amount one time he didn't go to the bathroom for 2 weeks and went to the vet. It was a quick fix but make sure the habitat is perfect and diet as well. Amazing video by the way.
Many years back my first pet was also my first reptile. While my siblings got cats I got a Leopard Gecko. While sadly not with me anymore, he was very fun to have. Since he passed many years back I have contented myself with the company of the family cats. But now I am ready for another of pet of my own and in a little under a month I should be getting a ball python.
I love the corn snake. They have such diverse patterns. Plus they have this adorable and friendly face. I also like the ball python. I worked at the local zoo for a little while and got to handle the ball pythons there for a day or two (most special memory: seeing two of them mate).
My leopard gecko is so wiggle he’s so cute and my bearded dragon was on my bed I forgot she was there and then looked back in 3 hours still there I felt so bad
I would definitely prefer a lizard over a snake. I watched reptile videos for years before I told my mom that I wanted a pet reptile. And basically what I got from those videos including yours is: Crocodilian: Absolutely not! They are illegal pets where I live and even if they weren't illegal, I still wouldn't want to have to build an outdoor enclosure and provide like full size deer just to care for it. Turtle: Eh, they are pretty, but maintaining an aquatic habitat is hard, I don't think I'm ready for that yet. Snake: If I had to, I guess, but their diet just makes me sad. It's like I either have to feed rodents(the vast majority) or the substitute diet of fish and liver is relatively expensive(Garters) or where in the world am I going to find tiny quail eggs(Egg eating snake)? I had a pet rodent once, a hamster, and I had a bond with my little Hammy, who would chase my cat when he was in his ball. He died from a lack of air circulation though and feeding a snake a rodent just feels sad to me because I've had strong bonds to rodents. Lizard: Yes! This is what I would prefer over snakes because, I don't need to feed rodents to most of them(monitors being an exception to that, but no way would I have a monitor as a first lizard, even an Ackie), they are known for their intelligence(Bearded dragons for example, they can be trained, just like dogs can), they wouldn't sneak out nearly as easily as a snake would, and overall, I just prefer lizards over snakes. My parents have been working on building the enclosure for 2 years now and hopefully will be finished with it this year so that I can finally get my Bearded Dragon. I don't care if it means breeding my insects or regularly going to the store to get collard greens and other greens I wouldn't normally eat, I just love the idea of having an omnivorous lizard and will put in the work needed to keep the cost as low as possible. If that means having a part of my garden especially for him, than that's probably even better as I can make sure that he's not getting anything toxic in him by eating it.
Nighting Gale 3.5 feet wide, 1.5 feet deep, and 2.5 feet high. And before you say that it’s too tall, my parents are building a castle in the enclosure with plenty of places to hide, and a basking spot. And I’ve seen bearded dragons climb.
@@caterscarrots3407 unfortunately that’s not big enough for an adult bearded dragon. The minimum for an adult is 4x2x2’, and bigger is strongly recommended.
The only change I would make is to put Kingsnake instead of Ball Python. Their care is very easy and they never miss a meal, unlike the pythons. Also, the humidity requirement for a healthy BP is harder to dial in.
Kingsnakes are a bit more skittish and move faster than the slower(except when striking) ball pythons also my uncle has a milksnake(which is pretty much a kingsnake) and it is SUPER nervous and likes to MOVE FAST, one thing though, they don't bite as much(but ball pythons only bite if you're stupid if captive bred and a wild or miskept one is the flipping devil) also I think the kingsnake space requirement is smaller and food is not that high of a requirement
Really great and informative video!! I just want to say one thing, for the crested and gargoyle gecko, you need to have at least a twenty-gallon long aquarium turned upright, not a ten gallon.
I am a breeder, and I don't know any breeders that use tanks that large for individual adults, but I will tell you that a tank that big would be fantastic. Arguable if it is better for the gecko, but no chance it is worse.
I suppose breeders would not have enough room to use twenty gallon long terrariums for breeding, and the geckos would be just fine in 10 gallons! I Just feel that 20 gallon long is best, but I am sure you have more experience than me! Thank you for your kind reply. :)
I don’t think bearded dragons should be beginner reptiles, everyone calls them that but they shouldn’t be. They have specific needs and get pricey. Very friendly though! I love mine.
Thanks so much for the video!! I am very thankful to have watched! God bless you! You seem to have an awesome talent/touch that seems to be driven by the love of you family, I assume that simply because I can tell you enjoy doing these videos. I am a super duper oooooper noob and was gonna just buy the cheapest and decently sized hardy one and am glad to have seen thus as it has educated me to the fact that there is a lot of ins and outs. I love this! My son is learning how to be responsible and has been showing me very good solid behavior and is ready for his start on his love life long journey of our scaley friends! Thank you!!!
BEARDIES FOR THE WIN. mine is sleeping on my chest as i watch. The main downside for me is that they eat constantly as babies, so i personally recommend adopting an adult if you are getting one for the first time.
I have 2 female leopard geckos and have had them for almost 4 years. I never realized they would live so long (I was 10 ok?). One has lost her tail and it more skittish now. But the other will just sit in my lap for hours and hang out with me.
I had a beardie for 10 years, I got her in middle school and she was with me until my third year of college, she was a great pet and taught me a lot about responsibility and reptiles. I got a ball python leopard gecko and a western hognose in following years who I all still have a love dearly, definitely agree with his picks!
He's not kidding about ball pythons being weird about eating. There's another reptile channel where his ball python just didn't feel like eating for over a year. He did get it started again, eventually, but seriously what the heck kind of animal can just skip lunch for 12+ months?
@@nightinggale6470 Probably, but seems unlikely in that dude's case. Does reptile rescues and stuff, seems to be fairly good at it. And once he got it eating again it went back to a more reasonable dining schedule.
I would love to have a snake like that but my mother won't let me have one for many reasons mostly the mice also what other snakes are great for kids and don't eat mice ??
+Just Be Happy, garter snakes are very underrated snakes. Some will take mice, but many specialize on fish and earthworms. They are very active, so they require larger enclosures, and they can musk a bit if they aren't accustomed to handling.
It depends really. Beardies aren't "beginner friendly" in terms of care requirements, but they're not overly difficult either. I think the reason people recommend them is for their personality. A lot of people looking for reptiles are children and teenagers, and getting bit or startled by a beardie is much rarer than most reptiles. As far as lizards go, I think they're a perfectly viable first medium-sized lizard along with Blue Tongues!
Really enjoyed this video, very useful for me in deciding what my first reptile will be! Looking forward to seeing some more of your videos :)
+Mung0 Awesome! Thank you so much.

Yeah but the care might be expensive, as with all primates. This individual seems to be pretty well off but primates are just such gambles.
Klaus Gartenstiel AND HE CAN’T DROP HIS TAIL, WHICH IS FANTASTIC!!!!!!

Clint's Reptiles Great video but if I might add a correction cresties and gargoyles require at least 15-20 gallons of space.Keep up the good work!
That is a matter of opinion. They seem to feed and behave normally in 10, 15 and 20 gallon tanks. That said, unless the tank is so large that they cannot find food, bigger is probably better. We honestly don't know what makes them "happy".
I will be sure to mention this in the future when we talk about housing crested geckos.

Shield n Axe gaming she’s doing great! She’s very curious and super sweet. She’s grown so much too. When I got her she was 16-17in and now she’s 29-30in. Her Instagram page is calypso.the.boopsnoot if you’d like to see her😊
@@helenanimocks have she ever attacked you? did it hurt?
@@Arymuru nope, never. The worst she's done was hiss at me, but once I pick her up she instantly stops. But from everyone i've heard from that has gotten bit, says it doesn't hurt at all, its mostly just surprise
How is she now?
Update me please
Four years after the release of this video, I’m pretty sure that between me and my kids, I’ll eventually own each of these animals. After finding Clint’s Reptiles about a year and a half ago, I’ve watched every single video (minus a small handful of the live streams) and I’ve watched a dozen or so of them MULTIPLE times! Clint has introduced me to multiple other channels that I love in addition to this one, and I’m beyond thrilled that the Clint Explains channel is up and running too!!! After about a year of searching and going back and forth, I decided to start my snake keeping life with a very handsome little corn snake, and I have to say, it’s BY FAR the most awesome pet I’ve ever had relative to the amount of money and effort required. I love my dogs, I love my cat, but they are many many times more work than my wonderful little corn snake is. Thank you for all your hard work Clint and crew, you have improved my life and I try to share your videos with as many people as I can. Love and prayers from Ohio.
i love this video, it got me to take a job where i get to handle and care for some of these reptiles and lead me to recently getting a crestie from a local exotic pet rescue. i didnt know how much i loved these creatures until i started watching this channel and others like it so im grateful for the valuable information it provides.
You forgot to mention how cute ball pythons are!!!!
Puppy noodles!
Deserves a boop
3:52 they are like tiny baby crocodiles omg
Funny, when people talk about bearded dragons as great pets, they never mention how horrible their poop stinks and how messy in the cage they are. Which is important to mention to parents who are considering that lizard.
Valid point. We plan on going into the finer details of the Bearded Dragon in its own series of videos. We will be sure to cover it's smellier aspects. Thanks!
We made a response video to all the feedback we got and you are in it! Check it! ruclips.net/video/_Nes5Apaeik/видео.html
I don't mind it at all, because the poop dries up so fast under the heatlamp. I have reptile carpet and usually i can pick the poop right up with a piece of toilet paper. The only time she really made a mess was when she was either gravid and digging, or digging for pieces of fruit in her greens. if the poop smells REALLY bad it could be parasites and you need to take your beardie to the doctor. all poop stinks, and you're not gonna find an animal who doesn't have smelly poop!!! with newspaper you can also just change it as soon as your beardie poops, throw it away, (along with any scattered food), and lay down new news paper. I clean up poop as soon as i can and wash the carpet about once a week. I will admit, one time she had a little diarrhea (no more peaches for khaleesi...) and stepped in it, and smeared it EVERYWHERE! Yuck! 🤢 But it'll always be worth it to me. If you have an adult who is a good aim while eating you can consider sand, though not recommended it makes poop super easy to clean, almost like kitty litter. you just need to pay a bit more attention in making sure the lizard is healthy and be willing to take the sand out if something is wrong.
Luckily I have my beardie trained to go to the bathroom in the sink during his bath
They also never mention what picky eaters they are one month they’ll love crickets and the next they won’t even look at them this can scare and stress the hell out of a new owner
Me and my roommates laugh when it comes to the leopard gecko because you said they don't jump, but out of the five that we own between the three of us we have 3 suicide divers XD
Lol you should try a hyper baby crested Gecko!
Where it all started. If you see this Clint, my friend, look how far you’ve come. The future is bright for you, this channel and the Reptile Room!
Ahhh, I wish my python wasn't so filled with energy sometimes, but it's weird how he'll legitimately watch the TV if what he sees interests him. Great video! I'm getting a leopard gecko to start on lizards 😎
+cartoon fanatic Awesome choices!
I keep my bearded dragon in the living room where she can see the TV from her enclosure. She seems to like "American Gods." My last dragon was obsessed with Rey Mysterio videos on RUclips lmao.
Yeah have one they are great
I like how FIVE reptiles quickly turned into SIX reptiles, LOL.
Well, since crested geckos and gargoyle geckos can interbreed, the Biological Species Concept would say that they are the same species :)
Thank you so much for these videos. We actually did get a baby bearded dragon and a blue tongue skink a few weeks ago. You really helped us out as first reptile owners!
great video. but some points im missing in this video:
1. i wouldve liked if you also said something about what size of habitat they need
2. all of these are affordable but that means different things for different ppl so a verry broad price wouldve been awesome
3. a few words on how old they get wouldve been nice
4. i also wouldve liked something on their social behavior towards each other, as an example if you put multiple male leopard geckos in one habitat you will sooner or later end up with one leopard gecko etc, stuff like that but overall a great video
Thank you for the suggestions. We cover some of those things in the more in-depth videos we have made about each one of these species. Have you seen those yet?
yes i have seen some of those, they were also great :D
btw one more thing: i personaly would love to see you showcasing an example habitat if you are talking about reptiles etc i mean numbers for habitat size n all is one thing but seeing it in perspective is another thing and i mean most habitats are fairly big so you also have to see if you like the esthetics of a good habitat for a reptilian some ppl might prefer a desert like habitat estheticaly but thats not good for all reptiles. other ppl might enjoy the looks of a jungle like habitat but that also isnt ideal for all reptiles so yead i would love that also it doesnt even have to be a a full clip or anything just one or two pictures would already be more then enough for me : one to see the broad dimensions of an ideal habitat and one that showcases the esthetics of an ideal habitat for what ever reptilian you are making a video on
Those are some really good ideas! We'll have to see what we can do :)
yes that is a good point but especialy something like how old they get/how much space they need are realy important informations especialy for beginners and since this video is mainly for beginners. so as a beginner i will look at this video to know what i get into and the video misses its purpose if it doesnt answer important beginners questions (in my eyes)
Although they do make good first beginner pets, I would go further and say that all the geckos you mentioned are the easiest on this list to keep.
Coming back to this video 4 years later. It was really helpful for me to explore my options for reptiles. I have bought 3 out of 5 of the reptiles on this list and long term fostered another. Definitely my top picks are my beardie and corn snake. Thanks, Clint!
You inspired me to get a leopard gecko and I love him. Definitely very knowledgeable about reptiles and deserves more subs. Keep making great vids!!
+Plouer25, thank you very much for the encouragement! We'll have another video out VERY SOON!!!! :D
Its because of this video that I bought a Corn Snake. Now, 6 months later, I have no regrets except for the fact that I didn't see your channel sooner.
Completely agree I always recommend corn snakes as far as colubrids ease of care and relatively calm beardies are wonderful for first lizards but do require high levels of UVB light and a correct diet.
Great video! 💯 I liked how you kept calling them all "adorable" 😂 I agree!
Well, they are! :)
I love the looks my bearded dragon gives me 😂 He is quite funny!
I pick…… leopard tortoise!
Pro: No feeder bugs, or rodents.
Con: 16-20kg @ maturity, will outlive me.
i once had a drangon it still is my profile pick
Aww clint. Was this for the "science fair" at school? Even as a kid wearing his dads oversized shirt, you did what u love. So amazing. ❤😉
The amount your channel has grown... I member when you had only a couple thousand
It wasn't that long ago. Thanks for sticking with us!
Clint's Reptiles I actually have a bearded dragon myself, here's a look at it. ruclips.net/video/DVq97e9VhGA/видео.html
My best top 5 best pets for home:
1-Komodo Dragon
2-Great White SHark
3-Anaconda
4-Australia
5-Bengal Tiger
Lol
Omg we almost have the same list! Except I’ll switch the komodo dragon with a box jellyfish. Problem is it’s not visible in water but it’s okay cause you can just scoop it up to bond with it.
@@AyessaVCruz Australia definitely the most dangerous
Lol I was confused at first but I realized it was a joke xD
Dont think australia is a pet
Yeah I really like snakes but I can’t get one because my mum literally screams at the sight of grass snake 😂
Lol same with my mum. When I mentioned the ball python, she got hysteric 😂😓
Lol I have a beardie and told her I want a snake but she can’t stomach the thought of it’s food
my mom is like that too
My mom won't touch a snake with a 10 foot stick
@@SomeFabio i wouldn't touche one with a stick i would just pick ot up with bare hands
You had me when the Leopard Gecko stuck out it’s tongue
Lmao
I love the infectious excitement you bring to every video Keep it up 👍
The best point of attraction, besides the information is the fact that you seam to be very knowledgeable, highly passionate and you are genuinely having fun doing the video. I guess this is the combo that insured the success of the video. Great watch, Dan
I'm not a beginner but for some reason I still watched this. I guess just because I love your videos!
Thanks you for supporting and loving my music. I'm very grateful and appreciate you❤ I would love to hear from you text me .(832) 400-7543
I’ve Literally watched this 5 times I love this guy
I used to have 2 bearded dragons when I was little. They were great but not great for me. We gave them to a good home. I wanna get back into lizards and I think a gecko is more for me. I used to have one but he was sick when we got him so he passed after a few months. I’d like to get another one day. You have a great channel and keep up the good work :)
OMG I LOVE THIS DUDES VOICE😂😂😂
Video: "No one's gonna be afraid of your gecko..."
RUclips: Next up, CHOMPED ON BY A GECKO!!!
By Coyote Peterson?
Thank you:) I suffer from depression and I love to take care of animals and I've hadn't had much energy lately but I really want to reptile thank you so much:)
I had actually planned on getting a Crested Gecko for my birthday, and I was completely allowed to do so. They're so friggin cute too
I'm glad this was up here because this is my first reptile, and I wanted to make sure I wasn't challenging myself to much with one
"They can also drop their tail, we’ll talk about that later..." love that 😂
I like a genuinely happy he is while talking about that corn snake
I’m saving up my money for a crested gecko! I’ve wanted one for a while and I’ve done tons of research. And then, my older brother got one and then it was final, I wanted to get one for sure. And now that’s what I’m doing! (Btw my pfp is my brothers crested gecko)
Cute
Your gecko looks like a anime girl.. that's cool
rigbyme yeah it’s very gay
Your pfp doesn’t look much like a gecko... somethings up..
I'm probably gonna get a leopard gecko.
Sounds like a great choice! Keep doing your homework, and let us know how things go!
Same
I want a bearded dragon but it is expensive so i might get a leopard gecko if i dont have money
Some Random Bearded dragons are only $100 in Canada 🇨🇦 that’s not expensive
@@alimery07 thats expensive
It’s fun to see how passionately and happily you talk about reptiles.
That Gargoyle is to *die* for...
You've made up my mind, I'm getting a Gargoyle!
I don't think you'll be disappointed in the least! They are amazing. Make sure to do your homework before you get one, have your setup ready, and find a good breeder. We will have more videos coming out on them in the future. Subscribe and stay tuned :)
I have several new caledonian geckos, and the Gargoyle is by far my favourite. I think they are smarter than Cresties tbh.
Tons of personality, beautiful morphs, easy to handle and satisfyingly chunky.
Gargoyles for the win.
I'm looking to get a bearded dragon but I want to make sure i learn everything i can about them before I adopt one.
Thanks you for supporting and loving my music. I'm very grateful and appreciate you❤ I would love to hear from you text me .(832) 400-7543
I have a bearded dragon, I've had him for 3 years he's a great pet not that high on maintenance and easy to get along with. Care for them is a decent amount one time he didn't go to the bathroom for 2 weeks and went to the vet. It was a quick fix but make sure the habitat is perfect and diet as well. Amazing video by the way.
wow, that Ball Python is beautiful. I was thinking of getting a Bearded Dragon but now I don't know if I want that or a Ball Python first
Boekie did you ever get it?
Balls are much easier. Start with them
This dude is Newt Scamander
Thanks for the video! I’m looking into getting a reptile soon and this really narrowed it down.
Many years back my first pet was also my first reptile. While my siblings got cats I got a Leopard Gecko. While sadly not with me anymore, he was very fun to have. Since he passed many years back I have contented myself with the company of the family cats. But now I am ready for another of pet of my own and in a little under a month I should be getting a ball python.
+ZoidsNut What an exciting and great choice!
The leopard gecko is adorable
the crested gecko, though, looks like it has one brain cell that dings around its head.
Words hurt man
Fr I have 4 and they're a little dumb
👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Mhm
i am a crested grecko
I love the corn snake. They have such diverse patterns. Plus they have this adorable and friendly face.
I also like the ball python. I worked at the local zoo for a little while and got to handle the ball pythons there for a day or two (most special memory: seeing two of them mate).
My leopard gecko is so wiggle he’s so cute and my bearded dragon was on my bed I forgot she was there and then looked back in 3 hours still there I felt so bad
I want a ball python so bad! Snakes are my favorite animals
Clint seems like a chill dude
I would definitely prefer a lizard over a snake. I watched reptile videos for years before I told my mom that I wanted a pet reptile. And basically what I got from those videos including yours is:
Crocodilian: Absolutely not! They are illegal pets where I live and even if they weren't illegal, I still wouldn't want to have to build an outdoor enclosure and provide like full size deer just to care for it.
Turtle: Eh, they are pretty, but maintaining an aquatic habitat is hard, I don't think I'm ready for that yet.
Snake: If I had to, I guess, but their diet just makes me sad. It's like I either have to feed rodents(the vast majority) or the substitute diet of fish and liver is relatively expensive(Garters) or where in the world am I going to find tiny quail eggs(Egg eating snake)? I had a pet rodent once, a hamster, and I had a bond with my little Hammy, who would chase my cat when he was in his ball. He died from a lack of air circulation though and feeding a snake a rodent just feels sad to me because I've had strong bonds to rodents.
Lizard: Yes! This is what I would prefer over snakes because, I don't need to feed rodents to most of them(monitors being an exception to that, but no way would I have a monitor as a first lizard, even an Ackie), they are known for their intelligence(Bearded dragons for example, they can be trained, just like dogs can), they wouldn't sneak out nearly as easily as a snake would, and overall, I just prefer lizards over snakes.
My parents have been working on building the enclosure for 2 years now and hopefully will be finished with it this year so that I can finally get my Bearded Dragon. I don't care if it means breeding my insects or regularly going to the store to get collard greens and other greens I wouldn't normally eat, I just love the idea of having an omnivorous lizard and will put in the work needed to keep the cost as low as possible. If that means having a part of my garden especially for him, than that's probably even better as I can make sure that he's not getting anything toxic in him by eating it.
What’re the dimensions of the enclosure your parents are building?
Nighting Gale 3.5 feet wide, 1.5 feet deep, and 2.5 feet high. And before you say that it’s too tall, my parents are building a castle in the enclosure with plenty of places to hide, and a basking spot. And I’ve seen bearded dragons climb.
@@caterscarrots3407 unfortunately that’s not big enough for an adult bearded dragon. The minimum for an adult is 4x2x2’, and bigger is strongly recommended.
good luck with your beardie :)
The Mr Rogers version of Clint
I love your videos! Loved watching this and was glad to see I picked great beginner pets for my boys: ball python and leopard gecko!
The only change I would make is to put Kingsnake instead of Ball Python. Their care is very easy and they never miss a meal, unlike the pythons. Also, the humidity requirement for a healthy BP is harder to dial in.
+Cowql8er Good feedback. When we do a more in-depth video per species we can dial that in.
We made a response video to all the feedback we got and you are in it! Check it! ruclips.net/video/_Nes5Apaeik/видео.html
Kingsnakes are a bit more skittish and move faster than the slower(except when striking) ball pythons also my uncle has a milksnake(which is pretty much a kingsnake) and it is SUPER nervous and likes to MOVE FAST, one thing though, they don't bite as much(but ball pythons only bite if you're stupid if captive bred and a wild or miskept one is the flipping devil) also I think the kingsnake space requirement is smaller and food is not that high of a requirement
very informational. thanks.
+Valerie Whitehead Glad you liked it!
Another high-quality video from you. Thank you so much :) Reptiles are great pets, thanks for making this lovely Chanel to inform people about them!
Really great and informative video!! I just want to say one thing, for the crested and gargoyle gecko, you need to have at least a twenty-gallon long aquarium turned upright, not a ten gallon.
I am a breeder, and I don't know any breeders that use tanks that large for individual adults, but I will tell you that a tank that big would be fantastic. Arguable if it is better for the gecko, but no chance it is worse.
I suppose breeders would not have enough room to use twenty gallon long terrariums for breeding, and the geckos would be just fine in 10 gallons! I Just feel that 20 gallon long is best, but I am sure you have more experience than me! Thank you for your kind reply. :)
It was a good suggestion. It might not be necessary, but if I had the space and money I would love to have all tanks that size.
:D
"They're not gonna bite"
My old leo begs to differ. She was adorable, but she took more than one chew on my fingers.
I have a Mojave ball python. He's 4 years old, abouts. I've had him since he was a couple months old. Truly a joy to have!
I don't know why any one would disslike a great video like this
Thank you! It does defy reason :)
What about Blue tounge skinks?
SPECTACULAR, but intentionally not on the list. We even made a video to explain why :)
ruclips.net/video/_Nes5Apaeik/видео.html
Clint's Reptiles Thank you
Slederkid Santos its price
I thought the same thing
Not a beginner animal
I’ve been watching for years and coming back to watching one of his firsts
I don’t think bearded dragons should be beginner reptiles, everyone calls them that but they shouldn’t be. They have specific needs and get pricey. Very friendly though! I love mine.
Thanks so much for the video!! I am very thankful to have watched! God bless you! You seem to have an awesome talent/touch that seems to be driven by the love of you family, I assume that simply because I can tell you enjoy doing these videos. I am a super duper oooooper noob and was gonna just buy the cheapest and decently sized hardy one and am glad to have seen thus as it has educated me to the fact that there is a lot of ins and outs. I love this! My son is learning how to be responsible and has been showing me very good solid behavior and is ready for his start on his love life long journey of our scaley friends! Thank you!!!
BEARDIES FOR THE WIN. mine is sleeping on my chest as i watch. The main downside for me is that they eat constantly as babies, so i personally recommend adopting an adult if you are getting one for the first time.
They do like to eat :)
@@ClintsReptiles How often do they eat as adults? I'm looking for a pet that's low maintenance.
I have 2 female leopard geckos and have had them for almost 4 years. I never realized they would live so long (I was 10 ok?). One has lost her tail and it more skittish now. But the other will just sit in my lap for hours and hang out with me.
Aren't they awesome!?!
They live for 20 years or more if they don't get sick or injured.
I had a beardie for 10 years, I got her in middle school and she was with me until my third year of college, she was a great pet and taught me a lot about responsibility and reptiles. I got a ball python leopard gecko and a western hognose in following years who I all still have a love dearly, definitely agree with his picks!
Who has a leopard gecko, mine is so adorable!
I do!
I have one and her name is Leona
I have one
I have one his name is Judas
TBNorge I have 6! :)
He's not kidding about ball pythons being weird about eating. There's another reptile channel where his ball python just didn't feel like eating for over a year. He did get it started again, eventually, but seriously what the heck kind of animal can just skip lunch for 12+ months?
90% of the time when they go on a feeding strike it’s due to husbandry issues.
@@nightinggale6470 Probably, but seems unlikely in that dude's case. Does reptile rescues and stuff, seems to be fairly good at it. And once he got it eating again it went back to a more reasonable dining schedule.
Great video! My wife and I went with a Ball Python. He's just 4mo old and we love him. 😁
I would love to have a snake like that but my mother won't let me have one for many reasons mostly the mice also what other snakes are great for kids and don't eat mice ??
+Just Be Happy, garter snakes are very underrated snakes. Some will take mice, but many specialize on fish and earthworms. They are very active, so they require larger enclosures, and they can musk a bit if they aren't accustomed to handling.
Please don't get a snake if you won't feed rodents. It's unfair to the animal.
Offer reptilinks they are basically mice and chicken sausages for reptiles
All snakes need to eat rodents
Warrior Wolf 123, Clint's Reptiles just said not all garter snakes eat rodents. So no, not all snakes need rodents.
i dont understand why people say bearded dragons as a beginner pet....they require a varied diet that not everyone seems to realize
It depends really. Beardies aren't "beginner friendly" in terms of care requirements, but they're not overly difficult either. I think the reason people recommend them is for their personality. A lot of people looking for reptiles are children and teenagers, and getting bit or startled by a beardie is much rarer than most reptiles. As far as lizards go, I think they're a perfectly viable first medium-sized lizard along with Blue Tongues!
I like how excited you get about these dudes, nice video!
I chose a bearded dragon
That is a great choice!
I chose leopard gecko
