Hi Alex! Thank you so much for reviewing four of my enclosures! My burm has a big shelf with foliage to hide her, but it’s not in the photo so you can see the hand painted background better! The water feature is also not attached to the background and acts as a hide as well. The ball pythons all had UTH on a thermostat and the lighting is built into the ceiling of the enclosures! Also! The carpet python enclosure (with the wolf hide) is an altar space for working with animal spirits - I’m pagan. Lol so it’s not satanic - I’m pretty secular so I don’t believe in the devil or anything abrahamic. The wolf pelt is also secondhand from someone who was moving out in my neighborhood and they were going to throw it away which i felt like was disrespectful m, so he (the wolf) watches over my religious space. I know it’s kinda funky for people who don’t practice lol, but I’m happy to answer questions anyone has if they message me! Hope that clears things up!!

Nah don’t feel bad for the first guy because you’re spittin straight facts. And not affording a bigger enclosure is not an excuse. Because keeping a reptile is a commitment on its own and you’re already gonna be spending a lot to feed them consistently. And like you said a tub at Home Depot would cost less than that and gives a beardie plenty of room. This does not. Beardies aren’t fully arboreal, they’re just semi. There’s a reason they tell you to get a LONG enclosure, not TALL. If you can’t commit to what they require, don’t keep one

The enclosure at 10:00 is actually inspired by the ps2 game Okami, it looks so amazing!!

I finally caught your vid! I was so bored in bed and when that alert came at the top of screen my fingers became lightning MaQueen. Love your vids

Hi Alex! I am the enclosure at 7:41. Thanks for talking about my toads xD and trying to make the point with the dollar LOL Thanks so much! (: There are 4 toads in a 60 Gallon long. Elvis is my only male toad and they are all the same size. (: Elvis is my oldest toad who is 10 years old.

The okami enclosure is sooo cool! Not sure if it’s the best enclosure for the burm but it’s super cool!

The "Alex, please" completely killed me. I love this editing

The wolf pelt enclosure got posted in a FB group I'm in and she got raosted over having a wolf pelt.... it was gifted to her, not even by the person who killed it. It was awful.

1:02 the second lizard is literally under the first LOL

Going from a peaceful enclosure...to the most cursed one I’ve ever seen Well you know what they say, opposites attract. So I guess in the end it evens out

Seeing Alex struggle to explain how dollars work is just gold

As someone curious but clueless about reptiles, I wish you went into more specific details about why these are good or bad… and not be so unspecific; would help people learn and know what to do. Thank you 🙏

To fix the toad analogy - you have 2 toads. You don’t want the smaller toad to be less then half the size of the bigger one, because it can be eaten. You want to be more then half the size of the other one.

toads= most underrated pet.

What a positive video title from usual! 👏 Wait- a sponsor!? Man, it's almost like you're a professional RU-vidr and most of your income comes from RU-vid! Also, why is it that no matter what time I wake up, it just happens to be right when you've released a new video?

My favorite series 🥺

Favourite series😎

16:27 that’s an electric blue day gecko (Lygodactylus williamsi), another one of my dream species

One of the best series on the tube!

Your dollar analogy was priceless, Alex. Your point was right. With a dollar you want one part to be bigger than the other so it still is worth a dollar but with the toads you need them to be fairly equal in size so they can’t eat each other 😂

All I learnt from this is Alex knows everything except: 1) vegetables 2) maths 3) electric blue day geckos

THIS IS WHAT WE NEEDED

6:00 I have two and just got plants and stuff and all they did... was lick the leaves... I know they're investigating them but it's always amusing to watch them and wonder if the little DVD screen saver logo brain cell they have bounces just a little faster when they LICK LEAF

Toads are like dollars. If you cut them in half you can't use them anymore.

Your videos make my week, I have been so stressed with life and this my only real distraction. Basically what I’m trying to say is thank you for posting :)

10:45 the painting is from Okami

Yass just what I needed today

Octopus is soooo cuuuuute!

Hey man this channel is AWESOME and I love the fact that you review and talk about how they could do better in such a calm way what I’m trying to say is keep up the good work and keep on herping!

“he didn’t get arrested, he just got a leopard gecko” LMAO

I feel like the foam mouth guy from avatar the last air bender (iykyk) when u post.

Haven't finished the new video yet, wanted to say I love your videos regardless of the content! I've also learned a heck of a lot watching... Yes I was one of those kids that had an iguana in the 80's before I knew how to take care of one. Still hurts. So I'm super thankful for all the information that's shared now. It's also great to see the success and the failures since I think we all learn more from those fails, as painful as they can be.

i love these videos

Hello Alex! My enclosure is at 12:44. First up, I live in europe so no, this is not a gecko from you. I got Joey several months ago, from my local pet store, after my 7 year old veiled chameleon named Lili passed. He was alone in his tank there, but it was tiny and there was nothing but sand. Not even a water dish. About my enclosure... both the back wall and the lamps are made so it is easy to climb. Joey really likes to sleep on the little balcony. The right lamp is uvb, but I rarely use it because I heard you say leos dont need it. The other one is just heat. The paper towels replaced sand, which I had in there for around 2 weeks, before I learned how bad it was. I still haven't figured anything better to use. If you have any suggestions, I would really love to hear them I'm really happy to finally see my enclosure even if it only got 3 stars (I mean, thanks 😁✴️✴️✴️) Also, love your videos, especially the unboxing ones, I keep watching these over and over 💚

The Okami burm set up was astounding, but seemed a little crowded for its size?

Watching him struggle through the dollar bill metaphor for toads gives me life and hope for my own awkward social interactions.

The white bits In the soil are vermiculite and are harmless, not fertilizer:) it's for added drainage and I add it to my soils.

The Burmese python's enclosure is Ōkami themed! That's so freaking cool :0

As a substrate for my leopard gecko I use natural 100% bentonite litter. Its the best :)

So what are your thoughts on fleece liners for a bearded dragon enclosure?

The first video..the second dragon was right beside and below the first (bigger) dragon. Probably wishing he was bigger so he could get the best spot.

“Paper towel is boring but at least, you can’t really go wrong with it” not my Leopard gecko eating her paper towel…

heyy @GoHerping I love the review videos !! your my favourite RU-vidr and when you post it makes my day ! I would love to do the job you do I know it’s harder than it sounds but keep up the good work !!

I keep forgetting to add the tags to my posts man! Great videos brother ❤️

'We've got...leopard gecko. And...leopard gecko from slightly closer up. And...leopard gecko...'

Alex attempting math hurts me 😂

Thats all I need to live, ice cream, cookies and the occasional chicken nugget

I wanna take a picture of my Leopard Gecko's enclosure to post on this tag but he always destroys the photogenic-ness of his enclosure .05 seconds after I clean it

Great vid Love the way you move your head closer to the screen rather than use the zoom function. 🤣 Is there a zoom function? oO

I think these people tried to have great enclosures even though some were not large enough. Interesting review. I have never had a lizard. I am a snake keeper. My land snails are in a biodegradable environment and have been for years. They are thriving and so are the isopods. All quite interesting to watch. I have not done this with snakes.

this is much better than online classes!

Good stuff! :)

Goherping cephalopod review

My beardie has an inclosure. But he literally only uses it for heat, uv, soaks and to eat. Other than that, he’s busy exploring the apartment.

This was awesome, but you HAVE to do another review because mine wasn't on here

I FUCKING LOVE GO HERPING. GO HERPING ALEX IS MY FAVORITE RU-vidR. (i am not a bot)

First picture one bearded dragon is on top of the other

In response to you saying you can’t do fake plants with beardies it reminded me of something silly. I have a bio active enclosure for my tomato frogs, Sriracha and Carnelian; I can’t have and oak moss leaves or leaves of any kind in the enclosure. Moss is on thin ice, because the girls are so clumsy and stupid they’ll eat moss with the bugs. I have to hand feed them now, since I refuse to run the risk of them ingesting anything bad for their stomachs they can’t pass. I love them but the amount of times I’ve wrestled coconut fiber and moss from their lips because they rapid fired licked next to the tweezers 😂😭

CRESTED GECKOS ARE THE BEST

what I'd do with the UVB and heating I'd put heating on one side and a UVB on the side with it and one on the cool side

Man’s was stoned af during his toad allegory

You would be insanely cool if you made me a tax rant video

and in this video we see why Alex dropped out of Highschool, how he manages to run a business and isnt bankrupt the world may never know.

Ive Never been this early

You know... I wonder if beardies would like things like cat grass, or would prefer their salads still on the plant

Good afternoon herpe

On one of the bowls it looks like a crested gecko is on it

Betty NEEDS AN UPDATE

Hey GoHerping I saw the second one go to 1:03

Soaking up those asd/dyslexic/adhd vibes

0:31 was that Sonic Adventure music or am I trippin

Some of these are sad to look at. Apparently research has been thrown out of the window

9:07 DAMN thats pretty 😍

8:26 I'm too high for this

In my personal opinion, improper enclosure size is not just a "not the best but it's ok" reptiles NEED a proper enclosure size to be happy honestly, if you can't afford a full-size vivarium, don't get the reptile.

Do another cooking video!

Icecream Cookies And the occasional chicken nugget Almost died on water

Yeah the financial excuse definitely shouldn’t fly. There is always a way to find proper husbandry for your reptiles.

9:58 is a deer scare/shishi-odoshi. In the enclosure the spicket is up higher than normal so it doesn't hit the rocks and scare the snake

very tasteful use of the cowboy bebop theme

Never make your sponsor transitions less awkward 😂

When I saw him review mine I laughed my ass off I’ve changed my setup tho so it looks much better 😅

early! totally not me waiting on purpose because i need more videos. lol im weird

Anything is better than what Brian Barczyk uses

Oh yes some easy listening perfect for my late night puff, feedings and sleepy time. （ミ￣ー￣ミ）

I want to know where the person Aquaried the wolf pelt and it it was taxidermied from something like road kill or natural death cause i want one

I was informed that 4 stars was the highest rating

@7:03 well thankfully he knows reptiles bc man doesn't know numbers in adddition to words it seems.. gives 2.9 grade but shows 1.9 stars 🧐

Wait, your name is Alex? I thought it was go go gadget?

My ball python enclosure would get a 1 star from you because it’s a zen habitats pvc 4x2x2 :(

I'm sorry but this video all I could think is about HS drop out but GED haver when you where loading mentally.

Im just confused as to why people choose to get reptiles and expensive enclosures but wont even budge to do a quick google search about what kind of an enclosure they need. Who thinks a vertical enclosure is going to be enough for e terrestrial animal?? It cant even climb and no light.

Hi there I love the video . I hope to submit my enclosure soon . ... I was wondering where is your join button 🤔 so I can actualy be subscribed?

what did you just call a bracket?????? a perenthasie??? what

i’m early for once 😀

Its not satanic lol.... also im living for your math lol

I always love these videos but now it really begs the question, do you smoke/consume marijuana? 😂

I wish i could get people to notice my tank... its really good...😔

😀
