Collared lizards, to me, are the most beautiful lizard. I think they are fairly common, though, and seems that most people have at least seen pics of them. Definitely a dream reptile for me to own one day!
I spend so much time staring at my squams, it's next to impossible to walk past them and not stop to appreciate how gorgeous they are. To be fair I stare at all my snakes, but the squams do have a slight lead over everyone else. The way you describe keeping them is essentially how I treat them, thankfully they are very docile and easy to hook when cleaning is needed. They're little pieces of living art!
You are the best TH-camr ever wicked wickens reptile have a awesome day have a cool day have a absolutely wonderful day good job wicked wickens reptile
Yes do more of these I can never findd a list that actually have one I never heard of because for the last 10 years I haven't had home internet service or TV I just watch educational stuff on TH-cam with my phone so I've already seen so many different animals and stuff that it's rare for me to hear about anything new
My large Tokay male calls at the same time of day every day since spring started, I'm surprised to see them at the top of your list. They're such beautiful pokemons
My tokay gecko Coop is a cuddle bug. However, I did and still work with him every day. I handle him every day. He even looks for me sometimes! Have to thank you bc I too think Tokays are beautiful!!
Im so happy to see tokays top on the list! They seriously have the prettiest natural color of almost any reptile. I love mine, ive worked so much with him hes as calm as a crestie
I've never owned any reptiles, yet I've heard of every critter on this list except the Squam & the Chameleon. Damn, I've been watching too many reptile videos! LOL Is that even possible? Gorgeous, all of them. On this list, I think my fave is the San Francisco Garter. Just a *GORGEOUS* little noodle. I hope their endangered situation improves, & that someone is allowed to breed them.
hi adam im getting a snake for my birthday and I've never had a retile or snake but i have done my reaserch and i was thinking about getting a cali kingsnake what do you think
Actually many cud keep the slight venomous if interaction isent existing (playing with venomous animals is never a good idea, handling is playing) education is important, some include my self with "arachnophobia" keeps old world tarantulas with no interaction between human and arachnid a bit like fishes (:
Just wanted to put it out there in case anyone was considering tokays. Yes, they are definitely not for everyone and can be intimidating. That being said I personally find their attitude to be part of the fun of owning them. They are very spicy little guys and you’ll need to put a lot of work into building trust, with a very real possibility they’ll never trust you. But to me, this is half the fun!!
Hang on, I recall hearing servicemen returning from Vietnam speaking of the F*** You lizard. Would that be the Tokay gecko? If I try hard enough, I can hear it. I loved this list and would definitely be on board for more show and tell.
Yes it is. I believe in Vietnamese they are called Baa Kay. The name is very similar in Thai. Also where do you think we get the name gecko from? The scientific name is a case of onomatopoeia too! Gecko gecko!
Always loved squams, tree vipers and my favorite the eyelash viper. They are so cool with spectacular colors. That Peninsula Rock Agama was complete fire wow, never heard of those but very cool. 🐍 🦎
i got my first tokay gecko when i was 16 he’s captive bred and it took me about 6 months to get him tamed down and by tamed down i mean to the point where i can handle him and where he doesn’t get scared when i open his enclosure. tokay geckos are absolutely beautiful and with more captive breeding going on i think in a few years they will become really popular and the prices for them will go up like crazy
To me, there is nothing more beautiful than a Gaboon Viper 😍 The pattern, the chonky body, the massive head, they are perfection! I will definitely never own one though 😂 I'll just ogle the ones at zoos 💜
I agree that squams are incredible snakes, but I’d be careful suggesting that their bite probably wouldn’t be deadly. Not much is known about their venom and the few recorded bites have resulted in some very serious blood disturbances and deaths are recorded. They are very closely related to the highly deadly carpet vipers (echis) and like them, Consumptive coagulopathy is a common symptom of their e venom actions. Definitely not a snake to mess around with. That said, they are wonderful snakes to work with if you have the experience and expertise.
i raise blue garter snakes. I can attest that they have brilliantly hilarious personalities and make great pets. little handling every few days at littles and POOF, grown snake that is not overly large and is goofy AF and playful. I have one that pretty much demands to come out when i get home from work and he plays on my desk, often messing with my fingers while I am gaming.
I was able to see a San Francisco garter snake in the wild at Año Nuevo state park and holy smokes photos can not do this species good they are just incredible!
I really love your content and it really inspires me. I really hope that my channel grows as much as yours because I post pet content and I want to have a successful channel like you!
This was an awesome list. It still blows my mind that animals can look like this! If you'd ever consider doing a info video on locality boas, that would be awesome! They need more love
If there is a part 2, please consider the paradise flying snake. It’s absolutely stunning and a lot of people don’t know they exist. Also they can glide through the air. Just overall really neat pretty creatures.
I loved playing with my little brother's Tokay. Dude wanted to kill me, but I never thought his bite was too bad. Pretty good for a small lizard. Always liked his attitude. It's fun having a safe but crazy little beast.
Started video saying these animals get rarer and rarer. but ends with Tokay geckos. I'm so confused. Also no frogs or even any amphibians what channel am I watching? Tokay Geckos are only aggressive if they're wild caught and 99.9999% seem to be wild-caught. The ones that are captive-bred TEND to be calmer. I believe Kevin from NERD is trying to breed them and chose the more passive animals. At least that's what I remember to from a video I watched a few years ago. Also, the call of a Tokay gecko is in Asian Horror movies to indicate a ghost is coming. So the call of Tokay Geckos freaks out some people who are Asian Movie fans. That is what my wife who grew up in Thailand and refused to allow me to own a Tokay Pokemon.
Heard of the eyelash viper, but not the squam. 🤨 The jeweled chameleon is much prettier than the Parson's chameleon. 💎 Never heard of that peninsular lizard. 😅 Might have heard of the San Francisco garter snake from sometime back. 🤔 The Tokay is rather common in the reptile industry, and I can certainly agree that it is the most beautiful gecko on the planet. 🦎
Had Squams in early 2000's... was at importer in s fl the day some gravid sdults came in. Babies galore. Bought 10... all different colors... very cool...very tiny at birth. Had to quarter pinkys to tease feed. All grew up... then got rid of all my venomous snakes. Had children... didn't want issue w/mother in law....lol
You inspired me! So must. Can you please make a vid about Mourning Gecko's and Dart Frog? I want to keep them and build a Paludarium for Them. You're my IDOL!!
Hey Adam! I’m wondering if you know, can a person breed guppies or some other small fish, and feed their San Francisco Garter mainly those? And then supplement with anything we can buy?
"Oh and this time I actually am going to do it so that every one that we go, we go a little more rare and probably less likely you've ever heard of them as we go" "Number ONE!! Tokay Geckos......"
Personally I think Certain day geckos definitely beat out tokay gecko. They’re so vibrant and can have more than 2 colors and do well in heavily planted environments.
Variable bush vipers are soooo cool!!! They are dragons 🐉 I love my tokay girly, Ella! She doesn't have too bad of an attitude. I was hoping they'd be on this list.
Our Tokay is a total a**hat, but he is gorgeous. Fun history fact, the soldiers in Vietnam would call them “F U” lizards because that’s what their call sounded like to them😂
Amazing reptiles, I have to put in some Australian contenders though, dendrelaphis punctulatus or our green tree snake that can be blue or/and have a bright yellow face and underbelly and huge eyes (for a thin tree snake). The goldfields shingleback with it's bright orange stripes and king skink, with it's blue/black granite color scheme.
My favorite aminal in your collection is your gorgeous Fiji iguana. I wish we could keep them in the states! If you leave Canada can you take him with you?
Garter snakes are far from drab or boring. In Washington state as a little girl my dad and I would go helping for them and I would find red ones, yellow, neon green, orange, black, blue, just beautiful snakes. I love them. But they do stink.
My addition to this list... abronia gramenea! Or any of the species of abronia. Lythrochila, deppii, smithii, ect. I cutrently have 11 gramenea as I'm getting captive breeding going here in the states.
Nice video I love to watch the Spring Peeper frogs But as they breed and lay their eggs in and along a stream and pond on my place 99% of people close there windows as they are LOUD
for some part 2 ideas there’s williamsi, sceloporus minor, anolis grahami can even do the whole genus of anolis, dickersons collard lizards, ornate uromastyx, ornate tree lizards, so many more!!
Will Nace has some beautiful Squams. But to me the most gorgeous venomous snake is the Gaboon Viper. Although, no one should keep them unless they have decades of venomous hours, earned under a licensed keeper.
Many moons ago, I worked in a pet store, and we had a Tokay Gecko. That was the meanest creature. To this day, I tend to stay away from any type of gecko, because of that one.
İ think you might take a look at agama agama (thats the name 2x agama) türü are kında blueish and in head it is also red and orange bu still the agama that you show was fricking AWESOME
I dunno man, I kind of really like the female of that agama. Maybe more than the male. What appeared to be a subtle blue hue of the body and the nice orange on the head is a really nice contrast to me. Might just be my own bias of liking orange a lot more than red, but when you said they're pretty drab it made me go "huh? Nah, that's a good lookin' lizard right there"
I disagree) Abronias and those green tree vipers are the most beautiful reptiles in the world. Or anything green basically) I guess you can tell i love green))
I don't even KEEP reptiles but am coveting the Fiji Iguana! So beautiful! And the Nokay Gecko is strictly a visual pet for me. And their bark is disturbing.
Collared lizards, to me, are the most beautiful lizard. I think they are fairly common, though, and seems that most people have at least seen pics of them. Definitely a dream reptile for me to own one day!
I've watched Viper Keeper off and on for years. He has quite a few squam. I love how every baby is a different color.

Have to thank you bc I too think Tokays are beautiful!!
We have that same garter snake in colorado my dog brought me half of one as a gift last year
TBF, I have heard about the Fiji banded Iguana from this cool Canadian comedian… can’t remember his name for the life of me though.
I have years of experience with hots, and I still refuse to work with them in my own stock.
Caiman lizards are absolutely beautiful, they make my list. Many people know about them but they are rare in some places.
Gaboon vipers ❤❤❤❤
They're not rare but I find Gaboon Vipers to be incredibly beautiful. Cribos are beautiful too, all of the varieties.
I love the patterns on Gaboon Vipers! The regularity and boldness of them reminds me of of carpet weaving. It's just gorgeous.
Im so happy to see tokays top on the list! They seriously have the prettiest natural color of almost any reptile. I love mine, ive worked so much with him hes as calm as a crestie

I knew all except the eyelash viper and squam

Yeah rub it in. Remember my RCMP buddy in TO? Well, now he knows I want Fiji Banded. Guess who MIGHT be breaking a brand new law...
_Ba Haha_
Squams are pretty and all but never heard of, really? How about hispida? I find them cooler with those spiky scales.
Simple.Significant venomous != pet. They all start with a score of 0 and go down from there.
I'm a beautiful reptile
WHERE IS THE AMPHIBIAN
There's no such thing as a boring snake.
Well ssssssaid
I agree, I have a beautiful het albino boa and snow salmon corn snake but I’ll stare at my regular ball python forever. Snakes are just amazing
@garrettmacon4825 I get excited over a garter snakes still... lol 😆
Lemme introduce you to the Blind Snake!
@@RedGreenLeftthey are amazing
My FIRST time hearing a Tokay's call!! Yay for me! I always learn something new on this channel. 😉
Me too! It almost sounds fake! 😁
That was Adam making that sound. Dāv Kaufman showed the video of him hiding in the woods going; “To-Kay! To-Kay!”
@@davidvento5481 🤣

The way they will occasionally crawl like a worm, instead of the normal slither.. such cool animals!
if I ever get a venomous snake, that's the one!!! p.s. not very smart to be leaving this comment under my g/fs account. just call me mr bad idea
6:32 how dare you insult that beautiful lady! So rude!
This is a JOKE please don’t think this was a hate comment 😂 really tho pretty scaly gal

I would have replaced squams with hispidas. Both are atheris but for me hispidas are cooler
Red sided garters are my favorite garters. If i was going to have snakes instead of my bearded dragon I'd have a few garters.
Follow-up: Top 5 beautiful reptiles you can actually keep as pets
i think for venomous the most beautiful are either blue insularis pit vipers or blue coral snakes
A part 2 would be nice. There are so many beautiful reptiles out there.
But for part 2, beautiful reptiles that just about everyone can get.
#3 with the red head looks like the poison fire lizard Pokémon from Sun and Moon.
sure does!
Red sided garters are 100% the most beautiful snakes in the world ❤
for sure
This was an awesome list. It still blows my mind that animals can look like this!

Could you please talk about the bynoes/prickly geckos as they are basically the mourning geckos of the desert 🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎🦎
And are just amazing
The Guatemalan beaded lizard. That's something that we need to somehow get imported somewhere so people can start working with them
That agama got me by surprise. Such a beautiful critter!
Love my Gargoyle Gecko....have the beautiful (bumps) horns on their heads. Regrow their tails, amd very handleable
Had Squams in early 2000's... was at importer in s fl the day some gravid sdults came in. Babies galore. Bought 10... all different colors... very cool...very tiny at birth.

The garder snake alway bait me with the malayan coral 🪸 & I love my tokays they love neck scratches just like snakes, nah, don't really DONT, haha 😂
Peninsular rock agamas are from India, which is probably why you’ve never heard of them, because India doesn’t export anymore
I've only ever heard of the Eyelash Viper, and that's because I love snakes. Plus the Tokay Gecko because of Clints Reptiles.
Hey Adam! I’m wondering if you know, can a person breed guppies or some other small fish, and feed their San Francisco Garter mainly those? And then supplement with anything we can buy?
"Oh and this time I actually am going to do it so that every one that we go, we go a little more rare and probably less likely you've ever heard of them as we go"

100000% agree on the Tokay's lol, when my fiance was stationed in Hawaii he saw a couple wild Tokay's and those little buggers are NOT nice haha
My favorite aminal in your collection is your gorgeous Fiji iguana. I wish we could keep them in the states! If you leave Canada can you take him with you?
Garter snakes are far from drab or boring. In Washington state as a little girl my dad and I would go helping for them and I would find red ones, yellow, neon green, orange, black, blue, just beautiful snakes. I love them. But they do stink.
I LOVE SQUAMS I’d keep them in my bag if I could
bungarus flaviceps baluensis is missing from this list. More specifically the number one spot...
My addition to this list... abronia gramenea! Or any of the species of abronia. Lythrochila, deppii, smithii, ect. I cutrently have 11 gramenea as I'm getting captive breeding going here in the states.
Mangshan vipers should’ve made a spot.
As a California herper San Francisco garter snake is one of my bucket list species to see in the wild.
Nice video
I love to watch the Spring Peeper frogs
But as they breed and lay their eggs in and along a stream and pond on my place
99% of people close there windows as they are LOUD
If you make a part 2 I think Ethiopian Cobras would be a good pick. I mean it's a frickin red cobra!
for some part 2 ideas there’s williamsi, sceloporus minor, anolis grahami can even do the whole genus of anolis, dickersons collard lizards, ornate uromastyx, ornate tree lizards, so many more!!

I've seen pictures of those red agamas before, but I didn't know what they were called until now.
I love the sound of the Tokay geckos. They sound like little velociraptors 😊
Honestly, the misting system wasn't that loud, at least in the video. Enjoyed the list, though!
I’ve never owned a reptile or handled a snake so I’m thinking a spitting cobra would
Be fun to own.
Bro please bring Back diamond u only brought him back for 1 episode
The Parsons chameleon is one of my favorite "I wish I could own" reptile.
I dunno man, I kind of really like the female of that agama. Maybe more than the male. What appeared to be a subtle blue hue of the body and the nice orange on the head is a really nice contrast to me. Might just be my own bias of liking orange a lot more than red, but when you said they're pretty drab it made me go "huh? Nah, that's a good lookin' lizard right there"

I don't even KEEP reptiles but am coveting the Fiji Iguana! So beautiful! And the Nokay Gecko is strictly a visual pet for me. And their bark is disturbing.
Not sure if they're the right ones but backwater reptiles has red head agamas for 20 dollars US
I wish so bad we could own Fiji iguanas in the US...but its ok. I love my boas💕
I think in 2023 a “San Francisco garter snake” is code for a human shit on the sidewalk
Where I work we have lots of big monitors and Frill necked lizards. When they get the new skin after a shed they look awesome.
I thought you didn’t like ur monkey tailed skinks and even though u prob do a little the parson’s chameleon would prob look awesome in that enclosure
I konow its not so uncomon and people know about them, but Crocodile Skink is one of my absolute favorite🥰
Bush vipers are my favorite venomous snakes.
I wish garter snakes were legal in my area.
