    I just got a Zilla enclosure myself at repticon, I LOVE IT!!. Idk about the larger ones but for my 18x18x25 the screen is waaaaay sturdier than an exoterra. I love the overall design and it’s doing an excellent job holding in humidity

    So pretty! I gave in and bought a light from the Bio dude for my plants in my corn snakes bio tank. It was $90 and the plants are doing well, but I’d like a cheaper option for my other plants in my other snakes tanks. What type of light exactly is that you used from Home Depot? LED- anything specific?

    Thats incredible that u spent under $150! I’m going to my first reptile expo to upgrade my leopard gecko tank to a 20 gallon. That would be awesome if I could spend about $150 too! 😃

    • @RadiantReptilia

      My best tip is to get everything on craigslist or an expo, and bargain the heck out of all of it. I saved money on literally every item in the video just by haggling a little

    I just got one of those today. He was at the pet store for $300, but some how, he cut a HUGE gash in his side. For the past two weeks the pet store was taking him to the vet and cleaning out the wound, but nobody wanted him. He was a beautiful snake, even a little brighter than his. I took him home for $100 and I just finished setting him up. I think I will name him mushu from mulan, but idk.

    On the last video with the asain rat snake( at least I'm pretty sure it was) I made a mistake on the commet I left I said the video didn't show the snake well. I meant that the camera couldn't show the full extent of how pretty of a snake that is im sorry for the confusion that's my bad I love the videos though keep it up!
