Very astute observation: The best Chameleon people love the chameleon, but are obsessed with the creation of a chameleon environment. This is not better or worse than someone who wants to have tactile interaction with their reptile. Simply a different mindset. And getting a reptile that is compatible with your mindset is key to a happy relationship for both of you.
I went to my local aquarium a couple of months back and they had a skeleton of a loggerhead turtle! I was just BLOWN AWAY by what their anatomy actually looks like underneath all that cuteness 😅 also in awe about the size of them 😍
@@Breviparopus They're definitely common enough that you see them at most expos but idk about 'immensely' popular, I rarely encounter people who actually keep them. Great little lizards though. Phelsuma in general are super underrated despite being common to come across.
@@WickensWickedReptiles yeah no problem I have been wanting to learn about reptiles and after I started following snake Discovery and Chandler's wildlife you're videos we're getting suggested to me so often I had watched like your last dozen or so videos before I was like well I may as well follow him too
If I stood by my chameleons tree in their dedicated room, that would come down and climb on my shoulder. Now this is Pardalis so they were usually more "curious"
Yesssss I'm finally on time lol. Hey Adam and Trish I hope you both had an amazing weekend. Another amazing vlog as always. Blue day geckos are gorgeous and all the other animals on this list is beautiful See you again on Thursday
LIke to see the emphasis on Phelsuma, I feel like they're weirdly underrated in the hobby despite being fairly common. Beautiful, active and very personable on average, even if not handleable. I don't get mine out but he very readily eats from my hand and is really bold, attentive and curious. Great display animals but still great pets too, tbh, can be very interactive, just not necessarily in the 'get them out and hold them' sense.
I have a blue tailed skink, I think it could go on this list, he's small but when he gets older he'll have a beautiful blue tail, but he's too small/fast and jumpy to handle
Im one of those with a socialised Amazon tree boa, it sure takes a bit of work and I can definitely see why they wouldn't be for everyone. I wouldn't be able to have turtles either, i have one animal that requires 100litres of water maintenance and that's plenty 😂 Great video Adam. :)
You know what reptile looks beautiful, is smart like a puppy, can take for walks and is a great as display animal as well ....savannah monitors...im mean what more could u ever want lol
Yeah but my dog doesn’t have an enclosure i have to clean regularly, she poops outside, and if her water bowl is empty or if she’s hungry she lets me know instead of just dying… also provides top notch home security and retrieves birds when i go hunting
Trioceros Jacksonii Xantholophus are cool, but that night time drop is crucial and can be a challenge to do right. Furcifer Lateralis on the other hand, are beautiful, can be kept in a smaller enclosure, dont need that night time drop and a hybrid encloser is suitable for them and will be easier to regulate the humidity.
That is why I have Rankin's dragons, because I want animals you can touch and handle. :) These are beautiful animals though. Apart from that I have pond sliders, a red eared slider female I have for 30 years now, and a male cross between a red ear and a yellow belly. They are indeed not very handleable or touchy. Some do like it if you scratch their shell though. But I will not get any new turtles if these die (but that can take a while :) ). They can be nice to watch as they are active in the water.
I messed up when I was younger. Bought a Jackson’s chameleon from the local pet store. Bought a cool vertical mesh enclosure hooked it up but I couldn’t get the humidity etc etc right in my apartment. I killed that poor little dude because I didn’t know what I was doing.
At least you can see them. I never see my BCI, he is always in his hides despite the fact he has room, plants, branches, UVB etc... i drop a rat at the entrance of a hide, the water level drops a bit and he goes to the bathroom regularly and that's it.
My panther chameleon always wants to be held, imo it's all on the owner, yes plz wash hands after handling any animals.. after handling my uromastyx, i always wash my hands ..
I have daygecko's and am waiting for 3 more species incoming, incluiding the electric blue ones. I love working with my day gecko's. They have come now to the part where they know I am the one that will provide food, they will come forward to me and they will eat from my hand. If you have enough patience, they will also crawl on your hand but indeed, they are not animals you should be touching. They will drop their tail when you just sneeze. (figure of speech)
Great stuff, I'm in between I see both sides of handling or not, id not for say a venomous like a temple viper or something I just enjoy to look at but most id want to handle some. Should do a some handling is ok just not too much top 5.
Had a Day Gecko get out and live in some wood hanging acoustic wall treatments So , I put a light can and a wire ring for a feed cup Even sprayed him daily Until I finally caught him And yes His tail popped off
That giant chameleon is super cool but if i was going to get something a bit bitey just to look at itd be the Amazon Basin emerald tree boa. At least I've been told they're bitey.
I have mourning geckos, i absolutely love them. I also love giant Madagascarn day geckos but don't have them because I would rather get a more handle able gecko first like a bawangling cave gecko or tokay gecko. Snake wise I would love tentacled snakes but don't know where to buy them
can you possibly make a video about Australian water dragons, fire skinks ackies or Australian frilled dragons? I know it’s a lot but I’m trying to decide which to get for my next reptile
I had a camileon furcifer pardalis the most cheerful creature I’ve seen always when I come across he would look at me waiting to open the door of the terrary and climb out to stay whith me and he loved to take hot baths and being scrach in the lower part of the chin (I know that because of the clear coloration it had when I did those things) he died 2 years ago from a misterious bleeding from the poop at 6 years old
@WickensWickedReptiles With the room remodel we're doing, we just added two new paladarium enclosures that I plan to use for vampire crabs (in one - probably giant reds or halloweens) and green tree skinks (in the others). I've also got a vetically converted 10-gallon I'm looking to add a glass frog into. Unless I get another species of dart frog.
Yo you are such a good youtuber im getting my bearded dragon a bioactive and the substrate im thinking is Coconut coir Top soil Sand on top And the plants im getting are spineless prickly pair cactus and spider plants
I honestly don’t get look don’t touch animals. Like my turtles are chill with being held so they’re out of their enclosures frequently, not being able to hold my pet is kinda sad
I have a Standing's Day Gecko female. She'll be 19 years old next month. She won't let me near her and I have to sort of sneak into the room to feed her so as not to scare her. I co- hab her with a Wahlberg's Velvet Gecko who will let me handle her. Ahh well,go figure.
What is your fav display reptile?
Red eye crock skink

Neon day geckos are incredible. Hope to see their popularity grow in the hobby.

Me who doesn't have a reptile and no plans of getting one learning I can't have the kind of relationship with a chameleon like Rapunzel and Pascal 😢
hahahah thanks for watching anyway

I love my gold dust day geckos. I have them next to my desk so I can view them while I am working.
they are so cool!
I just picked up an electric blue yesterday. Suck cool little geckos.
I have giant day geckos and dart frogs by my bed so I can fall asleep to them running around it’s like counting sheep for me😭
No problems co-habbing them ? I was going to consider this
@@davidtosh6494you forgot to tag em so you might wanna tag them and write the comment again!
I actually GASPED when you showed the peacock day gecko. Absolutely beautiful!!
stunning right

I loved keeping Phelsuma Day geckos when I lived in the US. They are very active and entertaining. And most reproduced regularly.
absolutely
Adam, I love you videos, i have been watching them since i was 10 and i am now thirteen, you really inspired me and i even have a leopard gecko
I really appreciate your support!
I love that at almost 30, I feel the same exact way as this kid. Love your videos Adam!
ngl your videos are amazing to watch in the background while cooking!!
Oh thank you! Whatcha cookin?

Good morning from KY,USA. Thanks for making my morning better.
hope you're having a great day!
There arent many videos with painted agamas, most of them are over 5 years old. It would be amazing if you could make one!
Cuban Knight anoles are awesome too!
Could I keep a green anole with 2 mourning geckos and some dart frogs and a red eye dart frog
I think abronia and Chinese crocodile lizards are perfect display reptiles! Most display reptiles are super beautiful!
That is why I have Rankin's dragons, because I want animals you can touch and handle. :)

Can you make a video on house snakes????, they’re probably the crested geckos of snakes in terms of care

@@Sausageflop dunno why you posted that to me
You are the best TH-cam ever have a super day have a great day have a nice
thanks so much
I am surprised venomous snakes did not make the #1 spot! 😂🤣 Chameleons, turtles, and 2 gecko species do make sense, though. 🐢
Meh I didn’t wanna encourage people to keep hots and think it was safe if they just didn’t handle them
people not understanding a pet you cant "hold" / "handle"
me: *uhhh i dont handle my clownfish/corals/dragonets* 😂
the clowns BITE if you try to mess with their home 😂
the videos of them attacking scuba divers didnt surprise me at all lmao
hahaha
another big one is croc skinks
Part3 please 🙏
coming soon!

That’s awesome
I have an EBDG called Leonardo and he's wicked 😅❤
Adam lol my Amazon was a pain in my hand latterly she did relax after the firstveeek and she has been a sweetie but I don’t let my guard down with her

any sudjustons for my leopard gecko?
Hi Adam
Hey bro!
i been really wanting the electric blue gecko for a while. What is the minium space they need when it comes to a tank/enclosure?
I'd say a 20 vertical would be best!
@@WickensWickedReptiles thanks
Thank you for putting aquatic turtles on this list.
Our pleasure!
Is it not standard practice to wash hands or use germ ex before & after handling reptiles??
I mean, it should be
A green tree monitor or mangrove snakes in that 1500 gal enclosure one day😮💨👌🏻
that would be awesome
Very cool mangrove snakes but rear fanged venomous
I'd hold it to be honest
I had a jackson chameleon but he died in a freeze last year
You should have put monitors
Love your vids and would you consider Galapagos tortiose as display of not?
Jk (about 2nd part)
I mean they are great to interact with!
Hi I would love to see a gargoyle or crested gecko care guide
just posted a crested gecko one last year :)
