This is amazing. Your level of care is insane. I one day wish to have one of your skinks in my family.
Thanks so much bro! You are doing amazing work too! Maybe someday we can swap bloodlines! I’d love one of yours too! Thanks for the love and support man!
That sounds like a splendid idea. Who knows maybe one day we could work on a video together too. You have really good energy my brother.
@@Reptiliatus Vvvvvvvvv
Baby crocs!!! Gotta love it! Great work on all the enclosures, and setting them up. Excellent!
Thank you very much! 🙏🏼
that's it! I need baby dragons! Wicked video!
About time 😉🐲! Thanks a million buddy!
This has been great fun. Not only your infecting enthusiasm, but also enjoying your success with the whole Crock endever. Quite the treat for those of us who have watched your work...
And as far as the shorts go...I love them! Like drive-by shots of Reptiliatus World.
Thank you so much! I’m moved to have such kind supporters and viewers such as yourself! I’m so excited to have had the opportunity to film this whole series on working with this genus and I can’t wait to share more of my experiences with you all! Thanks for the feedback on TH-cam shorts! I’ll definitely try to keep up with them then! ☺️👍🏼
@@Reptiliatus ...but no need to do more than ONE every couple of days... Right?
You do have a life!
@@beverlyjensen443 thank you for being so considerate! After reviewing the poll results on my TH-cam community page, I decided I’ll post 2 a week going forward as requested by popular demand 😊
I just love these cute little Skinks they must be so happy in the natural beautiful enclosure you have made for them. Nice little family with mommy,daddy and sweet babies. Thank you for sharing these cutest little animals. ❤️🥰 I always look for your new videos.
Thank you so much! I’m so appreciative of your support, viewership and kind words! New video this week should be fun! Lots of frogs 🐸!
Your level of care and love is unmatched in my opinion everything you have is always looking amazing
Awesome video! I have a little project going myself and excited to share they laid an egg 2 weeks ago!!!
Thanks for inspiring us and keeping us in the loop! Congrats on your success so far! Keep in touch!
Thanks so much! Wonderful news! Congrats on your egg there!
Amazing (as always). If I had the Leap bookshelf I’d do at least 2 dart frog enclosures, a crested gecko or two and man you’ve got me grooving on these Crocodile skinks!!! Absolutely enamored by them!
Great content as always!
Dayyan! I haven’t been able to watch your videos in so long. I binged them last week as I was getting ready for a mini referral.
I’m so proud of how far your channel has come!
Happy to see they are all thriving in your tender care. Hope to see updates soon on how they're doing in the new enclosures. I've gotta say that something is deeply satisfying seeing you assemble and decorate those enclosures.
Thank you so much! I’m confident they’ll do well! These enclosures have been so great so far!
Such a huge difference between Sunny and Sappys temperament and the others, you can tell you’ve worked with them a while
Thank you! The rest will need lots of work and who knows! They may never come round which is also okay!
congrats man, theyre adorable
Thank you!
For the question of the day: If I had one of those enclosures I’d probably put a crested or a leopard gecko in there and possibly a corn snake I don’t really know what environments corn snakes like.
Awesome!
This is awesome! I can tell how excited you are about all this
I wud love ur set up so I cud put different dart frogs in them .....I love ur videos and the new set ups you did good !!!! God Bless u
Awesome! I’ve seen some really cool dart frog builds in Leap setups! Thanks for the love! 🙏🏼
I watch any video you put out, I don't have any animals of any kind and don't know when I will. Congrats on the babies and more babies to come. Good job on the setup.
Those look SICK. I love the lights and their associated clips.
Don't you think those cages could use some pothos though?
I was wondering about that myself. The water bowls seem exposed. But I trust Dion. : )
Thank you my friend! Def very sleek! I’m pretty happy with it! Hahaha always room for more pothos 😉! All jokes aside, I’m confident the wood hides will suffice and the plants will grow in and provide more cover in no time!
@@marieparsons3507 thanks for sharing your concern Marie! Fortunately each enclosure has 2 + wood hides for the animals + the plants won’t take long to grow in and provide plenty of cover! Think back to how little pothos there was in each enclosure originally. ☺️👍🏼
I would love to adopt a skink one day. I've been following this project from the beginning, and it has been so amazing! ❤️ keep doing you, Dion!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your support! 🙏🏼
I love these little guys! What beautiful and adorable babies! Great job Dayyan!
Thank you very much!
I love my leap habitat, I only have one right now but I hope to get more next year. My Gargoyle Gecko is in it and she uses all of the space provided. I love that I can screw the cork to the sides and really build up the backgrounds.
Love to hear that! I’m really happy with all of mine so far as well! Yes! The way you can just mod them is super cool!
@@Reptiliatus I've been considering some getting some Red Eyes myself and seeing yours in Leap Habitats definitely makes me go this is a strong possibility for the future.
Congratulations all your hard work is paying off. I love watching others scape an enclosure I find it so satisfying and seeing others creativity is always amazing to watch.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your continued support over the years! Doesn’t go unnoticed 🙏🏼!
Yay more croc skinks
Wahoo 🐲!
How exciting are all those bebes ❤️ the leap enclosures are BEAUTIFUL!!! I'll be interested to see how they hold up to a humid environment 🙂
Thank you so much Bobbie! I’m confident they will! I’m in close contact with the Leap team and seeing how their own enclosures in the leap lab have grown in is pretty exciting /inspiring!
@@Reptiliatus awesome to hear! I know you only provide the best to your animals 😊
Great video, Red eyes are one species I love and keep. Would be amazing having a rack full of Red Eyes like that.
Sweet 👍
Always love the updates, sad to see the water areas go though
Thanks so much! Honestly, I’ve been experimenting back and forth and this works very well + it’s much easier to maintain. I think it’s a necessary compromise. If I only had one pair of crocodile skinks I’d probably do a huge Paludarium but that’s not the case so I think it’s important to mix ease of care + efficiency while trying to still have beautiful, naturalistic vivrais that helps the animals feel secure and at home!
I love how you made each one different
Woah those reptiles are really cool they have nice colors and skin textures.
Oh my gawd 😱 I've never seen "lizards" like this😍they are so stunning,their skins and their scales details,such gorgeous animals ❤️😍I loved them so cute😊hello from Brasil
Love the shorts! Just all around great content. I could look at the dragons and tokays all day😍😍😍
Thank you so much for the kind words/feedback! Super happy to hear that!
QOTD: probably rosy boas or anthill pythons because there are no or very few breeders of these animals here in Canada!
(Love the care and love you give your animals.❤)
Good video D that was really fun to watch!You’re doing a great job with those skinks.
Thanks so much! Happy you enjoyed the video!
Love those baby mini dragons....first time seeing them.
Me too! Thank you for watching!
I LEARNED A LOT MORE ABOUT THAT LIZARD TYPE AND SOW SOME VERY GOOD IDEAS FOR PLANTS AND INSECTS , SO THANK YOU FOR SHARING :)
THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)
Omg im in love with these critters…!♥️♥️
Planing on setting a up a habitat soon to get me a pair this year.
Wonderful! Good luck!
Such beautiful animals, I love the enclosure set ups so natural you can certainly tell your animals are happy 😊 👍❤️
Thank you! 😊
Oh my so many new babies. Great video as always.
Thanks so much Chantal!
I've been raising up a few pairs of garters,four pairs . I think those would be so nice for a pair . 2x2 is about perfect and the height is nice they like to climb and purch up on branches or cork. I've had them in a big community tank but it's about time to get them in separate enclosure for breeding . It is nice to have a clean looking setup so it looks nice in the room . I enjoy watching your videos because of the good information and the excellent care you take of all your animals. Love the green tree monitors so amazing! I couldn't get one so I got some emerald tree skinks . Like all your videos keep it up.
they look amazing! well done dayyan. and wow, 181k??? i cant believe it, i remember when you didnt even have 80k, i am shook. wow! youre doing great, makes me so happy to see! greetings from germany! x
Thank you so much for your kind words and continuous support 😊🙏🏼!
that's wonderful. congrats.
Thank you!
Love it!!!
Thank you!
Congratulations 🎉🎉
Thank you kindly! 🙏🏼🐲
I would have to say I would get back into keeping Uroplatus phantasticus as well as Dendrobates species of Darts.
Awesome options!
Congratulations on all the new babies. I have been looking into leap enclosures for my crested gecko.
Thank you so much! Awesome!
That whole Leap setup is soooo amazing. I recently got a baker's rack about the same size for an exo terra 18x18x24. I'm building my first bioactive viv and getting my first reptile, a crestie. I'm gonna use the drylock method. I knew it would be expensive but I never thought it would be THAT expensive! It's due in large part to your channel, yours and Mike's and Troy's. It would be awesome to have a rack like that full of Leaps filled with phants. Keep on herping, buddy. I'll keep watching and learning.
What a wonderful project in husbandry.
Thank you so much!
I think with the bakers rack system it makes it really nice and snug! I'm trying to build up a Leachie group and this would help with airflow, humidity and keeping my hat from destroying the mesh tops! Looks great man.
Very true! Awesome! Thank you!
i love their brand !! and your skinks look amazing 😊 if i had the same chance as you to have that cool set up from leaf i would use it for my fire skinks 😉
Beautiful Setup!!!!!!
Thank you!
Congrats on the continued success of your animal husbandry.
I would probably raise dart frogs. Or maybe tokay’s depending on size on the leap enclosure.
Awesome. ^^
Thanks! 😄 Glad you enjoyed the video! What was your favourite part?
And what a great video. I’m so happy I follow you brother on TH-cam.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your support!
I would definitely do cresties and maybe a tokay or 2!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Qotd: I'd probably keep helmeted iguanas, they're just soo cool! And gray banded king snakes
They are incredible animals! I had the pleasure of finding some in the wild!
@@Reptiliatus awesome!!!!
Never been into lizars and skinks of any kind. But then i came across a picture of a the Red eyed crocodile skink, oh i NEED one. Watched your videos to see if they where for me. Next reptil fair i found One little rascal. Not many breeders here in sweden.
Found another at the next fair 3 months later.
So i thank you for the good information and help in how to care for my 2 dragons.
Keep up the good work
at the 7:00 min mark when you lift the cork wood there was a third lizard that ran away at the top of the screen. It might have been one of the parents but i think there were 3 babies under there. maybe worth going back and checking
Thank you so much for sharing your concern! Upon further experience I am fairly certain that was the mothers tail! Thanks for watching! ☺️🙏🏼
All these setups are amazing!! I have always wanted a Crocodile skink but every time I see enclosures they seem too intense for me but these enclosures look very doable. Its the filtration systems that scares me. Oh and the sounds that they made in this video was absolutely adorable!
Awesome new setup for the project! Thank you for sharing all the babies! I know it's hard to catch them, and can stress them.
QOTD: I'm torn on what I'd do with a rack of Leap enclosures. If they were bigger ones, I'd totally consider breeding black breasted leaf turtles. Smaller ones? Maybe just a collection of geckos for funsies.
Thanks for watching/following along! Yes, for most of those babies it was their first time ever being handled by me! I don’t do it much at all of course.
Great ideas! Thanks! 🐢🦎
always a pleasure to see the dragons and the baby's 😊
Thank you for watching/supporting!
Love the shorts
Congrats on the great success with the project!
Thank you kindly! ☺️🙏🏼
Would love to keep more species of day geckos in those leap habitats. So underrated in my opinion!
QOTD:
I would probably set up a few invertebrate colonies! I’m currently keeping isopods, dubias, and a banana slug, (hoping for a spider this Christmass 🤞) but I think it would be awesome to see them in a rack of neat, beautiful enclosures like that!
Also congrats on all these babies!!!!!! I’m sure in your care they’ll grow big and healthy just like their parents :)
Awesome! I think a few types of invertebrates could do really well in a leap habitat! I hope you get your spider (what kind?)!
Thank you so much! I’m incredibly happy about it! You are too kind! I’ll do my best!
@@Reptiliatus I think so too! And I would love to have either a Carolina wolf spider or a green bottle blue tarantula, both very different, but both very cool!
Goodluck!
This ist amazing
Thank you!
If I had a rack of leap habitats like that I would probably put dart frogs like oophaga pumilio.
Cool! 🐸
Love the shorts keep it up
Thank you!
Overrun with croc skinks sounds like a great problem to have!
Absolutely 🐲✨!
My fave animals are the black breasted turtles, and red eye skinks! Someday I will have one.
Love this so much! Can you EVER be overrun with Crocodile Skinks though?!! They’re so damn cute!!🦎❤️🦎
Haha me too! I’d def have to agree with you! It’s always a good thing! 😉🐲✨
Congrats on the success! I've been looking into these enclosures myself, and your setups look awesome! Ans i thought i saw a third baby in the second enclosure, or maybe just the tail of the mom?
Thank you so much! I’ve been really happy with the so far! Especially if you have a rack full of them. That’s the best thing. I may go have a look again just in case but I’m almost positive that was the mom! You aren’t the only person who asked! Good eye and thanks for bringing it to my attention!
If I had the backer's rack, it would be filled with snakes. Some garters, kings, boas.
Cool choices!
Huge congrats on the eggs and babies, Dayyan! Love the new enclosures too! For the question of the day....we'd raise baby tortoises in them, of course! :)
Thank you so much friends! One of these days I really hope to come out west and do a video showcasing your work! Fingers crossed! Maybe this coming summer! 🤞🏼
@@Reptiliatus...Dayyan, that would be fantastic!
Awesome video 🎉
Thank you!
Awesome video! Congrats on the new tanks, they look nice. I will admit though, I prefer the old ones. Seems like more cover compared to the new tanks, though I suppose that the plants need to grow in. Have a good one !
Thank you so much! Those tanks aren’t going anywhere for now! Many skink families are staying in them! Im confident that when these leaps grow in you’ll hopefully enjoy how they look as well ☺️! Fingers crossed that process goes well!
Love your video's man, your enthusiasm is contagious haha! And love these skinks! Planning on picking up a pair of these up in a few months. I plan on starting a few breeding projects next spring. I'm going to breed some aquarium fish and hopefully my crested gecko! Might also try my hand at breeding these skinks, who knows.
Thank you very much for your support! I wish you every success and enjoyment with your projects!
@@Reptiliatus Thank you!
those enclosures look amazing
Thank you so much! Hopefully they’ll look even better once they’ve grown in a month or so!
I watch a lot of shorts nowadays, I enjoy yours immensely but if it’s too much I’m happy to just have videos
There sure isn’t the pothos coverage in the new setups, you said there’s enough hiding areas though. but I bet the front opening will help with the prey instincts of being caught from above
QOTD: I think a dart frog rack would be fun, or different tree frog species. I adore amphibians.
They are so freaking cute!
Indeed! Thank you!
Very cool!
I'm Japanese and would love to have one of your boys someday!
Easy lol as I am already in the works on making something like your setup for tree skinks. Working on the fourth tank. Have one for the emerald Tree Skink. Black tree skink and the olive tree skink. I really need to get a pair of red eyes. They are so amazing and those little noises they do 😆
Your enclosures are set up so beautiful and your Skink's are doing great. I love watching this project bloom. If I have a leap habitat like that I would put my crested geckos in them. I looks like it would give them plenty of room and would still allow me to see them more and watch them.
Ok
O
Okay okay

Nice
Omg!
So cool! 🐲
Love the videos about these beautiful guys! Are you ever gonna sell some! I want to get a pair eventually and would love if they came from you!! Keep up the awesome work!
Crocodile skinks are so unbelievably cute! All they're missing is a tiny set of wings.
Hahaha so true 😉!
Just here to hype the into with that transition. Psh 🔥
I'd probably keep cresties in a bakers rack. I absolutely love cresties.
Nice! ✨🦎
I'm so glad more pairs are reptoducing! Ahh the babies are so tiny!
Thank you! Haha yes! Very small!
Those habitats are really nice. I would love to house a wall of crested geckos lol.
Thank you! That would be cool! 🦎✨
Hey I just had an idea for a filtration system that would hold up and not require much attention and I’m not saying it’s a super practical idea because it will take up a good amount of space but something I might consider for myself Someday if I ever get some of these beautiful skinks! so my ideas was a circulating sump tank with a sponge filter and substrate ps Congratulations on your success. I love your content. Thank you.
Hi Brian! Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! Perhaps I’m not in vision ing it the same way as you but I feel like that might be a little complicated for all these tanks + I have to slide them around a lot to reach all of them which isn’t practical… Thank you so much for your support!
Bro IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW
Me too! Thanks for your support!
easily id advance my tokay project if i had that space. Great vid man!
If I had a whole rack of leap enclosures, I would definitely use them for my crested geckos 🦎😊
Hi there! Love all the videos and watching your mini dragon project has been amazing to follow while I raise my own. Might I suggest taking the egg out of the container - mine move their eggs depending on what it needs from a humidity perspective and I imagine it’ll be hard for her to move it out of the deli cup if she wants to. It’s really amazing how much they care for their eggs/young! Congrats on such a successful project 😊
Thank you so much for the suggestion Stephany! I had considered that but got worried about the juveniles rummaging around too much. Perhaps I’ll check on the egg in the morning and make the call about removing the container. Many thanks 🙏🏼☺️
Crested geckos! I'd love to get these habitats for my cresties.
Nice!
Been loving your RECS videos, they're so informative! I was wondering would you recommend a bioactive glass enclosure, like your paludarium, or a plastic tub for the long term? Don't really know how hard it actually is to maintain humidity levels and keep up with the cleaning process.
These guys are so cute ! If there was something handable I'd get it
WOW congratulations!!! These are stunning! I live in Ontario Canada. I'm pretty sure you too are Canadian, eh? Would you ever sell a crocodile skink?
As for your question of the day, I would need 2 racks to answer the question fully. The 1st rack would be to rehouse the 6 bearded dragons that I already own. You see, I'm a disabled person and enclosures like that would make my life so much easier! The second rack, I would buy a crocodile skink from you, a gargoyle gecko ive been eyeing at my local reptile store, as well as adopt and foster more bearded dragons from my local reptile rescue! I have a knack with special needs beardies and have helped them out in the past. They are also getting pretty crowded, so, I would love to help them out.
Does the company that you talked about make enclosures big enough for adult beardies? I do warn you, one of my beardies is part German Giant and is 18 inches from snout to tail!
Thanks and praise!
it looked like real life Pascual from Tangled the series 🦎
