@@mereyemsuzanne8635 Greetings from Canada!
@@Reptiliatus I'm so happy to be back ....
In the comments 😊
Thanks for another feeding video Dion!
@@kingdemolition6681 thank you!
During the entire time of this video my chameleon Sedona was closely watching the screen and now she makes sure I place my order for silk worms correctly 😂
Hahaha that’s awesome! Happy she likes the video! Hope she’ll love those silkworms!
It’s incredible how much progress Basil has gone through, thinking of times where e freaked out, when you came into the room.
I completely fell in Love how you treat your pets!
Keep up the good Work!
Thank you so much! I cannot exaggerate how much work it’s taken to get this far and how much work we still have ahead of us but it feels so special to see him this comfortable after all this effort! He’s doing so well! I’m so proud of this boy! 🦎✨
Just started getting into your videos around a month ago because I was looking for a bioactive tokay gecko setup because I'm getting my very first one on Friday. So excited
Thanks for your support! I hope you’ve been enjoying the content! Congratulations! How exciting! 🌿🦎✨
@@Reptiliatus thanks 😊
I have to be careful watching your videos! 😄 After years keeping all sorts of reptiles I have fallen in love with the green tree monitor (can't believe I didn't sooner) and the leaf tail tort and the red eye crock skinks, largely in part to you and a couple other influencers. I'm waiting though. I have a full house. While I live in the Southern Louisiana, USA and weather permitting I can keep the majority in their outdoor enclosures at least half of the year, I still don't have room or the time needed for my own Sabsy though. During winter it's a full house! One day!!! Thank you for continuing to influence and educate. I think I started watching back in the Tikki gecko days! Fav feeder to keep. Roaches. Dubia and Hissing! Saves me a ton of money and I don't mind them at all.
Thank you so much for taking the time for this video! Love watching these amazing reptiles display their intelligence!
I keep Madagascan hissing cockroaches as pets. Love their coloring and just watching the two females interact with the bio enclosure. Never knew I could enjoy something that could be food so much.
As a lifelong sufferer of Endometriosis I was pleased to hear someone talking about the benefits of Serrapeptase!
It literally saved my life, and you don't even have to eat silkworms
That’s so wonderful to hear! Animals have so many ways of helping us! Insects offer so much we just have to tap in and overcome fears! I’m confident so many more medicinal discoveries will be found when researchers look more into invertebrates and their biology, etc.
Wow! All your animals are beautiful and in great health 😊❤😍!!!! Keep it up!!!!!!
And the insect id keep would probably be hornworms- i feel like their color is so beautiful, even for a worm!!!
Oh my answer for today’s question of the day is EASY! It’ll be roaches for me, absolutely love pet roaches. Absolutely make amazing first time pets for literally anyone for how low maintenance they are compared to any other type of pet. Also very misunderstood critters. My favorite pet cockroach I had were madagascar hissing cockroaches but I plan to get more roaches as both feeders and pets.
Cockroaches are my feeder pet of choice. Ive kept them longer than i have reptiles.
I've got orange heads, halloween hissers, tiger hissers, domino roaches, and my only true feeders, the dubias. I really like the dubias though, more than i thought i would lol. Theyre a more recent addition since i had a leopard gecko rehomed to me(the leo being my first lizard big enough to take adolescent dubias), i figured why not get them breeding now. Im only going to get more herps from here lmao.
Man I need your help! My tokay’s are laying a good clutch of eggs. However, they are lying them inside a small cork tube. I have tried multiple times to get them out of the tube and into the incubator, but it seems they are glued to the cork. How do I get the eggs of the cork without damaging the eggs? Also what do you recommend doing with the eggs? Love the vids❤️🙏🏻
Happy to help! Trust me, don’t touch them! They are calcified eggs and will break! The best thing you can do is leave them alone. Tokays are fantastic parents and I promise you they won’t harm their babies, neither will their older siblings. All my tokay geckos hatched in the enclosure with their adults. On average they take about 3-4 months to hatch but sometimes as long as 6. Mama tokays know where’s a good spot to lay so trust in their process! If you really want to raise the offspring on their own you can collect the babies after they’ve hatched but be ready because they parents will defend them from you!
Beautiful video as always. Do you think it’s possible to train your monitor lizards to respond to their name? 
2 of my snakes, a ball python named Zeus and a Cali king named Betelgeuse, will come to me when I call for them and both of my bearded dragons (Hiccup and Chani) respond to their names. I also have 2 leopard geckos and the female comes to her name and looks expectantly at me for food every time. 🤣
Answer to QOTD: grasshoppers. they are so fun to feed and hold.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Hissing roaches with their sharp "spikes ?" i am nervous they would injure my tarantulas so they became pets for some reason our guests never stay long? lol
In south africa, I ordered 50 silkworms they cost me (7.63 Canadian dollar converted from our weak currency the rand). My female leopard gecko stopped eating for ages until i offered silkworms, was her first time having them. She had me worried was in contact with my nearest exotic vet. She now eats silkworms, she loves them.
Me watching this video thinking silkworms would be a great thing to add to my diet.
Doing a quick Google, apparently humans can & do eat them. Albeit not wide spread.
I've eaten bugs before. They have zero flavor to them. Just texture. So it would be pretty easy to add them to a soup or stir fry for a nice nutrients boost.
I often wonder why I find animals eating,so fascinating. . 🤔😆
But this video is fascinating! That lizard has the ability to think out, problem solve to obtain the food. Very cool.
Couldn’t agree more! It’s a very rewarding and fascinating thing to observe the animals doing!
@@Reptiliatus I don’t think people give reptiles enough credit. They can be very clever.. especially to get and maintain survival… or maybe it was just me that didn’t give them enough credit? 🤔 Either or, I love the devotion you have for your animal friends and more critter TH-camrs, should follow your example. I’m gonna go see what else ya got.. 😆👍🏾👍🏾😊
I just starting watching you .. I love the enrichment you provide all of your animals.
Love the feeding videos! As far as your question I don't think I could pick a feeder to keep as a pet lol. Maybe a wax worm. They turn into moths and I like moths lol
I thought I would see some stunts. You was just feeding your reptiles. I do hope you have success with stunts one of these days. Been looking for a channel with trained reptiles.
Literally no one:
ET: 👁️👁️
Hahaha 👀🐢
I just got a plethora of feeder insects at the Tinley NARBC show, including silkworms. I usually order through the mail but my silkworm provider also had a booth setup. My animals are going to be very happy 😊
May I ask who your silkworm provider is Bobbie? I’d be curious to get in touch with them if you would recommend them! I want to advertise a good US seller that ships nationwide since most of my viewers are American. Also so excited for you! Hope your animals enjoy the feeder variety/enrichment and hope you had a great time at the expo!
How long until the massive tree monitor enclosure? I’m super excited to see that!
WOW!! Basil has come such a long way! You can actually see him eat!! Amazing!!
Thank you! It’s lots of love, hard work and patience in action! 🦎✨
I love how easy you are to listen to! I've put these on while holding my leopard gecko, she's just chilling while I get to learn about dart frogs or bearded dragons. Thanks for making simple, easy to follow tutorials!
Just fed my Eurydactylodes geckos their first silkworms ever! The female LOVED them, I've never seen a feeding response like that from them. Definitely going in the lineup of healthy treats!
Meanwhile I'm watching my male stalk his like a total dope. Definitely interested but a bit confused.
As for the question of the day, can we count isopods? I feel like Porcellionides pruinosis can make really rewarding pets as well as good feeders for little reptiles/amphibians.
Roaches are definitely my first choice. There’s such a huge diversity of roaches out there, from the biggest Aussie rhino roach to the smallest micro roaches. Some of them are even brightly colored! On my trip to Costa Rica I found a metallic green arboreal roach outside of our Airbnb that I still need to identify from the pictures I took, but I’d love to keep a colony of those guys as pets if given the chance
Sabzey (sp?) & Basil (Bazil?) are amazing! Not only are they beautiful but they’re so smart. You can see them thinking. Basil’s positioning in the beginning was so cute…hanging on with three limbs and the front right one was just hanging there. He looked like he was posing. 🦎❤️🦎
QOTD: The LAST thing I’d have would be cockroaches. Nope! I’ll never own anything that eats those. I’m petrified of them. Especially the Palmetto bugs. They’re disgusting and they FLY!!!
I am thinking about keeping banana cockroaches (Panchlora nivea). The imagines look neat and they are very active and capable flyers. They would make great feeders for my day geckos, too.
They are beautiful roaches too!
I was really wondering if you could make more invertebrate content if that’s OK with you I really enjoy it and I think either of you but I totally understand if you don’t want to it’s your choice
yeah pls make more
Love your vids your lizards are adorable keep up the great work
Thank you so much!
Next video: Dayunn eats silkworms
We did that video a few years ago 👀👌🏼
i love the tree monitor she is beautiful! You do an amazing job taming your reptiles. I would keep dubias as a pet or feeder if I could in Canada lol
Thank you so much! 🦎✨
Yes, that would be nice for us wouldn’t it 🇨🇦! At least now false discoids are legal!
@@Reptiliatus Ooh I didn't know about those, I will need to do some research on them now :) Thanks!
QOTD: Madagascar Hissing Cockroach
Great choice! They are so cool
I've already kept a hornworm as a pet and would 100% do it again
They get so big and I think they're rather adorable
Awesome! Yes they are quite a bit of fun!
Did you get it to turn into a moth? I got one to the moth stage earlier this year. It was pretty cool it's eyes reflected red in my camera light. Kinda creepy...kinda cool...🤷🏼♀️
@@Upper_echelon_exotics yep! She was a pretty chunky moth, too. I really enjoyed keeping her.
Crickets because that’s all my frogs like
Sometimes like mealworms
Great video as always. Not sure what feeder I would make as a pet.
Thank you so much! Haha yes, so many to choose from! ☺️
I mean I'm into silkworms, but I more want them for my fiber arts lol.
Very cool!
QOTD: I would keep dubia roaches bc they are really cool and easy to maintain, and also because you can't have them ;)
Hahaha how dare you! 😜
@@Reptiliatus we have roaches, you have fiji banded iguanas, I think we're about even ;)
Hey Dion, Cool video! I was thinking of getting a red eyed croc skink sometime in the nearish future, but was wondering where would be a safe place to order them. Any recommendations on websites or something like that?
My apologies, it really depends where you are from but I would strongly recommend choosing a captive bred animal whenever available/possible! Despite the higher price the animal will be so much healthier, much easier to work with and often less shy! Best of luck!
I was just at the NARBC Tinley and Josh's Frogs was selling juvenile red eye croc skinks. There was another vendor that had juvenile white eye croc skinks but I can't remember their name.
@@bobbiec2829 yes I’ve seen plenty. But I’ve also heard and seen a ton of horror stories/bad reviews everywhere. Never ordered a live animal that wasn’t a feeder so I don’t really know what to believe.
@@timmysmello I understand. I always look at reviews for a breeder and ask a lot of questions before purchasing from them. I've only ordered supplies from Josh's Frogs and never a live animal but I've heart great things from others about the animals they breed. Shipping can be scary but if you go with someone reputable you should be in good hands. I wish you luck! Reptiles are amazing pets and it took everything in me not to buy another one at Tinley. I did come home with one new pet but I had purchased him ahead of time and was picking him up at the show.
@@bobbiec2829 thanks. I’ll definitely look into Josh’s frogs and definitely some breeders in my area. You’ve been really helpful. 👍👍
Great video! It's my first of yours that I've seen. 👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed it!
@@Reptiliatus I did.🙂
Such beautiful animals!
Thank you so much! ☺️🙏🏼
I think most people would say the feeder they would keep as a pet would be a hissing cockroach. They are definitely a good transition into handling bugs. I'm HORRIFIED of roaches and can handle the hissers even lol my other choice if they lived longer would be a silkworm moth. The moth form of the silkworms is sooooo cute! I love them so much.
Which lizard to u like the best that is freindly
For me, my tree monitor lizards! 🦎✨🦎
I would keep Pachnoda beetles as pets. They are already kept by some people. Then they can become a good gateway for other, more difficult flower beetle species. Sadly I think that they are illegal in Canada. In Europe they are readily available though.
I heard silkworms are high in protein, and are good for reptiles and frogs. Unfortunately they aren't available here where I live. I live in Indonesia and no silkworms here, but definitely a ton of reptiles!
Also great channel and amazing reptiles!
This whole first feeding of the green tree monitor... AMAZING to watch you incorporate that wicker ball to present the silkworm. You could really see the monitors brain gauge how it wanted to go about this situation. everyone talks about enrichments, but you rarely get to see how each person goes about it! Bravo
Your videos and animals are so beautiful! You take such good care of them! I just got my very first crested gecko a few months ago. Do you have an tips on breeding feeder insects? Or do you just buy them all.
Everyone is so cute when they eat yummy worms!
Haha yes! They are happy to be eating! Thank you for watching!
Delightful! Can green tree monitors be offered quail eggs? How do you think they'd react? Or handle and eat them? An egg is a tricksy puzzle all by itself. If it's healthy for them, and you ever film that, we'd love to see it. (If I had to keep a feeder as a pet, I'd keep a colony of silkworms. I spin fiber into yarn, and silkworms provide that lovely lovely silk! Leaves in, silk out!)
Oh man, a feeder as a pet?
Probably mice because they’re so rambunctious and cute. unless it has to be a bug, then id pick a superworm, because they’re pretty active as beetles and could be fun to watch.
I wonder if the canned version of the silkworm larvae is almost as nutritious, be interesting to find out.
Any of your babies brumate?
Sabzi eats like my kids used to
Lol Pingu
SuperWorms because i like beetles and they actualy reproduce quite fast
I've been planning on making my own superworm farm actually
Would appreciate any tips and tricks because this would save me some money which i could then use to upgrade my reptile tank
At what age/weight do you recommend feeding crested geckos silk worms ? And how many at a time ?
I would probably choose Dubia roaches to keep as a pet to keep instead of feeding to my reptiles
What is basil some kind of monitor?
Nm you just answered that question for me 😂 tree monitors
Im definitely choosing a little pinky rat for a "feeder" pet, when I was little my dad had a Oscar fish that would eat them and I was always so sad and wanted to keep them haha
The turtle looked like she wanted it but the face was freaking her out. She kept looking to eat the back end. Try holding them by head when feeding her
Could these things be a staple? Could be interesting as a substitute for fruit flies or other things. I have so many of these
Like video! 👌👌👍
Thank you! ☺️🙏🏼
Your Gecko, Tiki.....his color? Rather dark and subdued.....what is up with that? And as usual, great vid content here!! keep it coming. When will you have another frog update?
I'm by no means an expert, but my understanding is that geckos can "fire up" or "fire down" changing the depth and vibrancy of their colors
Out of alll the reptile you don’t have a leopard gecko 😂
hello, I am new to your channel. Do you have any cuban false chameleon?
Hey, I have a question, what breed is sav?????
What should I get a bearded dragon or a praying mantis
E.T. looks like he has a heart behind his head :)
So can the crested gecko eat silkworm?
QOTD for me: definitely hissing cockroaches!
Nice choice!
Do you sell your baby crocodile skinks
Where do you get your silk worms?
Watching basil with the ball felt like a scene from Jurassic park
🧶🦖
I love watching your videos
Finally I can comment again.
Lots of love and respect and greetings from Amsterdam The Netherlands
Thank you so much for watching, commenting and supporting! Means so much to me!
@@Reptiliatus sadly I couldn't comment for a while..
But I'm very happy to be able to write in the comments again.
And I love all your videos..
I dare you to eat one of your silk worms.
I do love the silkworm videos.
Thank you, your animals are so beautiful.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
How do cresties survive with that aim LOL.
Lol
Silk moths
Green Tree Monitors are my dream pet!!😆😆😆
Mine too! I feel so lucky to own two!
i would keep a silk worm so i could have a sky puppy
They are very cute but unfortunately, they don't live very long!
It seems the silkworms are the ones doing stunts here.
Ooft true haha. Tiki def did some solid tricks as well as Basil 😅
silkworm for their operons as adults
Awesome! Haha
Wow so cool
Mine feeder insect for a pet would probably be the silk worm They are so unique and have a gorgeous green to them.

Hi another great video. For the ? of the day i think i would keep crickets or horned worms. Bye the way the tokay geckos are so funny. Have a great day 🐍🕷🕸
Thank you so much! Great choices 🦗🐛! Thank you 🦎🦎✨
Great video
Thank you!
❌🐍
Qwkd
dope
Thanks so much!
Why do people need some many reps?. One should be enough , the more you have the lower the quality of care you give to each
That’s not true at all it’s a passion and just look at his enclosures they look amazing
I appreciate your concern however the individual keeper is responsible in excuse using self discipline to make sure they don’t exceed their capacity/ability to properly provide the needs and more for each animal. I do this out of love and passion, turned into a full time job. I also have a hired employee who works for be 2-3 times a week cleaning and caring for my animals too. ☺️
Thank you for the kind words! Lots of new upgrades coming soon too!
@@Reptiliatus the reason I replied as I did , was we all know there are a lot of sub standard keepers , and I can't help but cry , when I think of those beautiful animals either being put down , or released into an environment that their not used to. Especially since it's not their choice. After the recent storms in the US and here in the UK. I couldn't help but think of the pain , suffering and pain these guys suffered
@@davewarrender2056 I totally get this and it’s so sad to see animals being hurt especially reptiles but even though they are lots of people out there who aren’t properly caring for these creatures there are even more who have a passion and love them I live in the uk so sadly I don’t have many native reptiles but even though there’s only six native reptiles almost all of our snakes are endangered so again it is sad and let’s hope there are more people out there who will help these creatures
