11 Reptiles I Want To Keep! 11 Reptiles I Will Never Keep! 

Reach Out Reptiles did a great video about SD retics, it's called "How big does a super dwarf retic get".

How about a dumerils boa? I’ve heard good things about them and would like to keep one in the future. They’re also so gorgeous

I’m with you. Slow moving reptiles are more for me. I just love seeing them move around. It’s really relaxing 🥰

Very sad what happened to Vendetta but I hope you try again. Boas are such awesome pets.

a fun (i think) trivia about tokay gecko: tokay is native in my country and usually lives in houses like common house gecko, and tokay have this famous mating call right? but in my country, it is believed that if tokay mating call certain times (i forgot how many) then it indicates that there is a ghost that living in that house too.

You say this video is sounding depressing, however, life is death, unfortunately. And it shows your passion and compassion for these adorable critters, and let’s us know that must mean you take awesome care of them because of your love for them.. makes me wanna keep watching and supporting you 🥰

I am terrified with the idea of buying a "Dwar Retic" and getting a "Normal Reticulated python".

I think it's amazing that you respect the animals that possibly would have a better life in the wild enough to leave them there. I am all for exotic animals and reptiles (heck I have quite a few and a huge list of animals I would love to own) but I do believe that some of them should remain in the wild so the fact that you respect them and love them enough to leave them there is really amazing because I know of some RU-vidrs that own exotic animals that really should stay in the wild. Anyways, thanks for that and I think your an amazing RU-vidr :)

Nosferatu, Metamora, Vendetta and Chaos. Really intense and dramatic names, I love it! People always say that these kinds of names don’t fit because they’re “hard to say”. Pssh. They don’t know what they’re talking about!

I relate so so much to the concept of having animals that calm you. I absolutely adore my crestie for that very reason, as he moves so slow. How did you deal with how jumpy and fast hatchling cresties/gargs are?I just got my first baby and I’m still getting used to his fast movements. I swear the only time I can get close is when I’m feeding him Pangea 😂

I'd love to have a rhino rat snake one day! They're arboreal and pretty good with handling from everything I've heard - like a more handleable green tree python!

How can nobody not like her videos her videos are the best

I thought i was the only one who was obsessed with gray banded kingsnakes!

I had a Tokay gecko once. Got it from Petco when I was first getting into the reptile hobby. I got it because it was absolutely stunning. I had no idea about their...temper issues. Surprise, surprise. It worked out tho because my bf and I liked the challenge. We had that dude tamed in no time. We could literally flip him over and put him to sleep by rubbing his belly. I mean seeing him like that after knowing how vocal (it’s like he would “bark” at us) and nippy he could be...well it was a cool feeling. Miss that little dude.

i adopted a baby corn snake and had her for about 5 months. she gave me issues from day 1 she would never eat and i took her to the vet many times with no success. she had eventually passed one day and i think it was just genetics & irresponsible breeding. i was scared to get another corn after that because it just made me so sad to think about her but seeing Bloom has made me open up to getting another one sometime!

Hey Thanks for sharing and also all ur content, VERY helpful! =D

my boa is my favorite! he's so reactive when I go near his enclosure it's so entertaining

If you love something don’t give up and say never,strive to reach the unobtainable

I have a male veiled chameleon named Bowie, a female panther chameleon named Rizzo and a male rainbow Jackson’s named Tito. I have to say they are all so different. The way they hunt, the way they bask, the way they behave. It’s so fun to interact with all these different species of chameleons. I also have two false Cuban chameleons named Groot and Grimoire who live together in a very huge bio active enclosure. I would highly recommend them as a pet for intermediate to advanced keepers. Love your channel and how soothing and calm your demeanor is! ❤️👏🏼

I saw someone else already mention Garrett from Reach out Reptiles for information on dwarf and super dwarf retics. They get about the same size as boa constrictors. The superdwarves are actually smaller by weight than boas of the same length because they're thinner. I hope to have one myself to compare someday!

I’ve been watching your videos a lot lately for the chameleon info, but your love for Banba is definitely why I subscribed. I know he’s no longer with you, but your love for him was/is so wonderful. Your entire demeanor changed when you mentioned him in this video - you just lit up (I actually teared up. I might be biased, but I had a veiled cham in the past so I totally get where you were coming from). Banba was a one and only chameleon. Banba was baby and there will never be another. And not that you would ever try to replace him! I was just wondering if you might see yourself keeping another veiled cham in the future?

I have a sand boa and it’s like having a empty tank where you some times see the snake.

Good list. This is my first time finding your channel. I am glad I did.

Wow Tricia this is such an awesome video I love it.😃👍

Kind of off topic but what is that sweet plant behind you? Lol I couldn’t stop looking at it the whole video

Not that early but still I wanted to say that I love that you always make our whole week with your videos ❤❤❤❤

You are never controversial- what’s up straight hair?💗💗💗

Just bought a red ackie recently and they are AMAZING to own and fascinating to interact with. Be warned, while they are warm, they will get into any crevice or opening on or around your person. They can be picky eaters at times too.

Your channel is so underrated!! I hope to create enclosures as beautiful as yours someday!

I used to have 3 mouning geckos. they stressed me out because they were too small and fast. you should get a pink tongue skink.

That’s so funny since I looked up care vids for sand boas last week lol

Superdwarf retics are amazing snakes. They are active and curious. Learning about localities and percentages can be overwhelming, but fascinating at the same time. I def recommend reach out reptiles videos if you want to learn! Our SD is amazing.

A snake that i really want is a brazilian rainbow boa but my life is too crazy to actually keep one (im gone 3 days a week so i wouldn't be able to maintain their humidity) unless i get a misting machine or something but im pretty sure those are really expensive so yeah oof and a reptile that ill never keep is a bearded dragon because i used to own one and he was my first reptile and idk i just got so attached to him and i just think ill never be able to look at a beardie without seeing him and getting emotional so yeah its not because i hate bearded dragons its just because i loved my guy so much that i couldn't see myself having another

The day gecko is a pretty awesome gecko. I have one myself. But like you said you can't really handle them, they are definitely more from observing! You can pet them a little in their enclosure but that's is about it!

Great video , reptile girl !

35 minutes early! I love your channel❤️ Your so informative and straight to the point. I’m getting a beardie soon so your so helpful❤️❤️❤️

I would LOVE to get a tegu, and I would never get anything venomous either, except for maybe a hognose at some point. Thanks for the awesome video!!!

I love my crocodile gecko!!! She is a sweetheart

Where did you get the little stickers on the tanks that have the scientific names and such? they are so cute

I agree with you about slow calm animals, personally I can deal with fast animals like corn snakes, but in total I do much better with slower and calmer animals like ball pythons and leopard geckos, they help with anxiety and help calm me down when I am stressed and panicking, and all out slower animals are just my type of pet, so I'm glad to see I'm not the only person who believes this

I want a cat gecko so badly, number one on my dream list! As soon as I find a captive bred one, I will get one. The one that kills me to say I will never have is an iguana, they’re one of my favorite animals and I wish they were easier to keep. This video was a lot of fun to watch! Aside from rat snakes, I was on board for all of it. Rat snakes are sooo feisty but nothing beats their personality. They were a long time dream of mine and now I’ll never be with out one! I totally understand not wanting one though! ❤️

Great video!

100% with you with the turtles. I love my Malayan box turtle but he is SO much work. Water maintenance is a pain, hygiene . . . So much work. And doing a full clean is an all day job 🥺 And getting bitten because everything in his face is food. Cute as hell but so much work.

I agree I would never get an Amazon tree Boa. They are super aggressive. But what I like about them they are aboreal and the live on the ground also

Im exactly on the same page as you i really miss keeping boas i just keep chondros exclusively now but im thinking of getting an oddball thinking all sorts of different animals but boas are definately special amd ive got everything i meed all the way up until its adult enclosure but i got plenty time til then

You should have done an hour long video just talking of which reptiles you like

I need a False water cobra

Chameleon geckos can't be super fast due to the way their legs are. And they can be handled as long as you are careful due to their size. I'm getting a juvenile male two days from now so I will see how it goes. Very excited!

I got a baby eurydactylodes vieillardi recently and OMG they are such a wonderful little gecko!

I here you there ever since you got Casper I’ve been looking up white ball pythons just because they are so stunning looking

I have a friend who keeps Eurydactoloydes geckos (both Viellardi and Agricolae) and they are actually not bad to handle at all despite the small size. They don't jump and are not particularly fast-moving. They're on my list too.

I've always wanted a GTP. But was intimidated by their so called aggression. You cured that. But now I'm concerned about building perches and adding misting systems. Too pricey

I love my day gecko. He comes eats his pangea put of his cup when I'm holding the cup

NICE VIDEO

The dwarfs can get big still! it takes a seriously long time to line breed them small but I watch someone on u tube that breeds them which is where I got this info

Okay so I have a question I want to know where the line is drawn from beginner to intermediate to expert keeper in reptiles like is it based on how many different species you have or the care requirements of the different species you have

Graybanded Kingsnakes are awesome. Mine is named Baby Tex!

I absolutely adore snakes, but I could never get one because I would not be comfortable feeding live if they ever needed it. My two dream reptiles would be a red footed tortoise and a chinese water dragon. I would also love a captive bred blue tongue skink.

I here yea about monitors. I had a gold tegu and he was a tuff one

Superdwarves are about the exact same size as your rainbow boa. Maybe even lighter

Yeah I would keep a tree monitor, the blues are cool too

Look into reach out reptiles. The smaller super dwarfs are comparable to a ball python in size (a bit longer but same weight). Actually think similar to your rainbow boa but more streamline lol.

I’m about to purchase a full grown dwarf retic. He’s 9.5ft!

Loved video - I would love a bullfrog I would never keep an iguana💙🦎💙

Careful with Panther chameleons we had one once before and it was hard to take care of didn’t even last a year the toughest part was keeping the humidity up as well as trying to resist to handle it even if it did kept biting us

So sad to hear your boa passed! I enjoyed your video. You mentioned water with reptiles , how do you feel about owning your pixie frog? They need lots of water. I’m considering getting one, that’s why I’m asking. Thanks

I would love to keep a black and white tegu but they need so much space and time and their diet can get pricey but I so wish. I could make a whole list myself of what I want to keep but right now I'm kinda obsessed with Gidgee Skinks.

If you ever want to talk boas and regain some confidence with them, feel free to message me on Insta or wherever. It sounds like Vendetta had a serious neurological defect, but that's not common at all (likely something that could occur in any animal). Maybe the breeder had an accident with it as a baby and didn't tell you, something as simple as a head being pinched in a bin being closed, who knows. Considering they didn't even know what morphs were present it wouldn't surprise me. Most boa morphs are very healthy, and I'm very confident in the lines I've been working with for the last ten years. I keep dwarf boas - males stay about the size of a ball python, females a bit bigger. Anyway, it was fun to hear your thoughts on these different reptiles! I hope someday you're able to have a big house with an amazing caiman lizard paludarium - what a dream!

Notification on 😍😍😍😍🔔😂😂😂

I absolutely love caiman lizards and do plan to keep them and build a huge amazing enclosure for them. I live in FL and just bought a house with a decent sized lot so I can't wait to be able to have some large outdoor enclosures for reptiles. While I love snakes, I'm a huge rodent lover so I don't have current plans to get any that consume rodents. This could change in the future or if I have a partner that's willing to do that feeding 😂

What do u think about african clawed frogs

Love this video. I would love a Rainbow. I am turning 59. I’m afraid that it would be too heavy of a snake for me in 10 yrs.

I have 2 chameleon geckos and there great for handling for their small size

I have an adult eurodactaloydes viellardi and he is really chill. I was nervous about handing him bc he was my first small gecko. My hatchling gargoyle gecko is way faster and less handleable (still handleable but less than the eurodactaloydes.) I adopted him a few months ago so I don’t know what he was like previously but surprisingly less of a display pet than I expected! I have these skinny fake moss branches and you can pull him out on those and hang as well! He’s a little dull tbh but I love him and if you end up with eurodactaloydes, I hope you get ones as chill as mine.

Interesting videoooo 😁

Gray bandit is on my list to

I would LLOOOOVE to see an update on Peaches!!! Dwarf Retics are cool! You should check out Tyler Rugge's he has made a few videos about his super dwarf retic Solomon.

Where did you get those enclosures behind you?

I couldn't agree more I want slow moving chill reptiles calming n zen..love ball pythons for this reason..but got to say all your snakes .chill even bloom n Metamora 🐍💚🐸🦎🐍💚

Snakes is definitely something I want to start doing on my channel

Meant reg.retic.python.lol .needed m y glasses.lol..wish ball pythons came in dwarf..love your channel.

Would u ever get a garter snake

I also prefer slow and chill animals. That is why I have a ball python, a leopard gecko and a fat tail gecko. I also have tarantulas and a hedgehog(not chill at all, grumpy dude). I wanna keep a Chinese cave gecko, another ball python and probably a blue tongue skink.

Dwarf retics usually dont get over 15 foot somtime goes to about 18 foot

The animals that I won't ever EVER keep are small lizards, and this includes all of them skinks, anoles, especially geckos! I am freaking terrified of them! I think I have a phobia I just don't like them, I am more terrified of a house gecko than a spider tbh. And someday, I going to keep different localities of boas, I just love all of them especially the Tarahumara boa and Suriname red tails. So basically, I love love love snakes but I have a major dislike with small lizards, monitors are cool though, maybe I'll get an ackie someday.

you deserve more subscribers and likes

For your boa, you should do a true redtail. Suriname or Guyana.

Ik this video is old but I just watched it and I also had a bad experience from backwater reptiles. I got my first Leo from them. I ordered a chocolate albino and got a regular albino? She also arrived half frozen. I still have her and she’s the loml and she’s going to be 8 soon! I didn’t know they were a bad place to get animals from until later after I got her or I would’ve never bought from them. I’ve just never heard of someone else getting an animal from there so I wanted to give you my two cents😂

I have 2 Turtles, a Desert B/W Kingsnake, Bearded Dragon, Mack Snow Tremper Albino LG all babies and an Adult Bold LG, I really want a Diablo Blanco LG

Adrenaline rush from Hell and stress o'clock. 😂😂👌 I have been dreaming of a sweet little mourning gecko colony. I am pretty scared of the tiny, jumpy, speediness too though. 😬😂

What about a uromastyx?

Things I'd keep: Emerald Tree Skink, what USA calls a "Schneider's skink" (eumeces schneiderii), or a Russian Ratsnake. Things I'd never keep: ball python, kenyan sand boa, and a sunbeam snake.

Want to get: Panther Chameleon Chewie Leachie Gargoyle Western Hognose (Lavender or Toxic) Corn Snake (Lavender Motley) Sand Boa (Snow) Pink Tongue Skink Male BCI or Dumerils Boa Terrapin Turtle African Fat Tail (whiteout or oreo) Bonus-All tropical arboreal geckos (Basically opposite of her want list 🤣) Either love but not reasonable to keep, or don't want: Large pythons (Burmese, retic, etc.) Monitors Large turtles and tortoises Iguanas Aggressive larger snakes and lizards (short tail pythons, etc.; a snippy hognose or tokay doesn't worry me, only aggression in animals that would be dangerous) Dangerously venomous reptiles Most likely, any larger lizards, even calmer ones like Tegus, unless I am blessed with my dream farm one day!

Get a bci. Normal wild type locality. That is the only boa I keep and they are avsolutely wonderful. Never had issues with them and completely underrated. If I could have only one reptile that would be the common boa the boa imperator.

100% super dwarf retics max out between 6-10 around same size as big boas

Something I would love to keep: Angolan Python!! I hear they're very much like Ball Pythons but I've heard they are more active and have more personality. Something I wouldn't keep: Rat snake (though I really wish I could) the reason why: they musk and the smell stays on you for a day or 2 no matter how much you wash. But they really are beautiful snakes and very intelligent! I wish they didn't musk 💔 My first snake was a Kenyan Sand Boa and it sadly passed 😔 He was so precious 😢 And I'm forever grateful that he helped me overcome my fear of snakes. My daughter named him Blinky 🐍

Cat geckos were cute Chinese cave geckos are hardy Olive python also have iridescent coloration like B.Rainbow boas Hope you have a nice and safe day... :*

Which is ur favrt venemous snake?

I've got a veiled chameleon I need to re home. He is amazing and has a perfect enclosure. Reason I need to re home is that I need to spend time away with aging family and don't have anyone near who can help take care of him. I'm in Southwest FL and wondering if you have any ideas on how to find someone who can take care of him? I'm like you and give him everything. When you see his enclosure you will see my point. So SAD, and I need to find someone qualified such as yourself.

What I would never get. I will never get another gold tegu. I had him for 3 years and he was a pain the ass. But it still broke my heart that he passed this year in January. I may get a different type of monitor lizard someday but not a Colombian gold tegu I’m not going for that again
