Reptiles have evolved to flourish in the wild. Therefore, if we replicate it (excepting detrimental features such as disease, natural disaster, and parasitism), we will be certain of our animals' welfare.
I have a max snow set my little cousin at 6 named sparkles. And they have another one that I mean Chippy chocolate. Then I think he's a high yellow but the highland yellow doesn't look like him, so maybe he's something else
Invasive species probably (going off of what I'm seeing) like wall lizards that thrive. I want to have outdoor enclosure someday but I have australian species unfortunately.
0:56 Absolutely correct, Garter snakes do way better in a group. Not to mention the entire egernia family where housing one by itself is on the verge of animal abuse
They most definitely display trust or at least tolerance and familiarity. They also very much show fear. It's kinda weird to say they don't have any feelings, imho. Good vid!
thank you for the great information and the reassurance. i just got my first snake (a cali king x amel corn x honduran milk hybrid) and she is so scared of me. she’s 2 months old now, and i’ve only been taking her out to feed her and handle her once a week right now. she will calm down after a bit, but at first it takes forever to catch her in her substrate and as soon as i grab her out she pees on me and shakes her tail 😅
hi. I have a 150×60×60cm PVC terrarium housing my timon lepidus male. He currently have a Arcadia prot5 fixture t5 12% UVB 39w (87cm) covering roughly half of the terrarium. For heat I have the 100w ARCADIA mvb D3 bulb and a 75w halogen bulb on a dimmer. I want to brighten up the terrarium and have ordered the Arcadia jungle dawn Ledbar 51w (87cm). I am planning on mount it in front of the uvb fixture so there is a darker shaded area in the back. Is this the correct size for my terrarium or should I go with a smaler size? I also have live plants.
Man I wish I would've added the whatsit BEFORE I finished everything. This is the first video I've even seen that has done this and it's genius. Gonna have to try and dig my gravel layer out and shove one in
Love what your doing and would love to help with reintroducing the population down in Somerset. How can i get hold of natterjack toads legally and bred them myself. Many thanks
Agreed. Good thermostats allow you to set outputs for a basking lamp (%), and then you moderate air temperature separately. The EVO Connect 3 is useful for this.
I've only just found your channel so please forgive this comment on an old video. When I was a boy I lived and grew up through the late 1950's, 60's and 70's in a very rural and remote part of Norfolk on the edge of an extensive marshland close to the sea, with coastal heathland and an extensive common with ancient woodland, ponds and grassland and a river which led from the Broads to the sea. There were natterjacks, viviparous lizards, slow worms, grass snakes, adders, frogs, toads and all three species of newt. From around 1980 the heathland was cleared, levelled and is now a golf resort with holiday lodges and a second holiday park stuffed with caravans. In the 60's and 70's the banks which held back the sea from the marsh were burrowed into by coypu and were poorly repaired which damaged the marsh although subsequent work restored the banks and the marsh has regenerated over the last couple of decades. I spent a lot of time going around with the coypu man trapping the bloody things. The common land is now very expensive housing which few ordinary people like shopworkers, farm labourers or me can afford. The whole area has gone really, except part of the marsh and I find it incredibly sad. I haven't seen a swallowtail butterfly for over thirty years, a slow worm for at least twenty years or an adder for about the same length of time. I still see the occasional grass snake but most of the amphibians have gone, as have the vast clouds of lapwings and other birds. I haven't seen a newt since the early 1980's. I would love to see these species re-introduced but I find myself asking where? Is there a network of linked up people and habitats prepared to accept these animals? I know that there is a move towards rewilding but where I live all the land just seems to have been swallowed up by the above mentioned developments and industrial estates on former small field farmland. I apologise for the length of this comment.
I'm sorry but I still don't quite understand. So my sandfish does or doesn't need a hot spot with a surface temp 130F? Or does he just need it to be bright and a little warm??
It's the same that was done to all short snout dogs and cats: persians, bulldogs, chevaliers... those animals can't breath properly, have all kinds of heart problems... but people keep breeding them for the sake of aesthetics.
Is this video against the use of DHPs? I'm very confused as to why I bought one from Arcadia now for my leopard gecko. I even got a dimming thermostat for it. I just use a heat mat to keep it warm enough in the warm hide at night, and a Shadedweller 7% plus a 35W Halogen, 10-12 inches above the basking zone, on top of wire mesh. Should I just stop using my deep heat projector? It helps simulate sunrise and sunset and I turn it off at night, an hour and 15 minutes after the halogen turns off (and turns on an hour 15 before the halogen comes on)
Great video and I love your enclosure. How big is your tank for the group of leo's you have? I have one leopard gecko that looks just like yours but I was told when I got her a year ago absolutely NO cohabitation for leopard geckos. I love her so much and she is really the easiest pet I have ever had. I wish I had gotten some of the other babies at the same time. what kind are yours?
