I love this series because in our making fun of others terrible mistakes it shows us what to do wrong and what to do right, or face little man's wrath.

I was going to submit a picture of my savannah monitor enclosure but he digs up every plant I put in there and digs up the seeds. It will looks so good I’ll come back later and the whole thing looks messy. He loves chaos. He doesn’t even dig to hide he just enjoys making a mess.

7:46 Airplants actually love humidity!🌱 Tillandsias are called air plants because they don't use any substrate to grow. They're epiphytes and use their roots when attaching to tall trees and rock structures.

That white’s tree frog enclosure at the start was absolutely a 5 star.

Alex's energy is 11/10 right now he's practially yelling through the screen at us love it

2:27 Not even one star, that's straight up zero stars. You shouldn't take wildlife, unless they're invasive, sick/in need of rescue, or they're an insect. Also, they need to work on their nails. I recommend a Workers' Party red to show your loyalty to me

Red-eared slider: wants to live a happy life Hooman: *bricks, rocks, and sand. Take or leave it* They really thought "They have red ears and bricks are red! Makes perfect sense"...smh

i find it very funny that the enclosure that saved the episode is one alex has reviewed before and then forgot

That poor beardie in the first pic, how can people post this and think it’s ok to keep a beardie in a super small enclosure 😩😔 I mean, I’m sure that owner doesn’t like in a closet… Horrific

Is it just me or did it seem like Alex had emotion today

To answer your question, some people don't put water bowls in beardie enclosures because it causes the ambient humidity to be way too high for them, especially when living in places with a naturally high humidity. Too high of a humidity as I'm sure you know can cause respiratory illnesses in reptiles. Instead we just mist the beardies and their food with water every day. Also, my boy never drank from his bowl while i had it, and it was just one more thing to clean every week. lol

I got my fake vines at Michael's. I've had them 4 years & they haven't bled. Although, they also haven't been IN my corn snakes water bowl.

Bearded dragons can’t see water unless it’s moving They also can’t have red light because it mucks with the third eye thing

Air plants need to be misted or be kept in high humidity. So they will most likely be very fine.

my fav utuber cuz ur vibe is chill and even when ur not chill ur so chill without being chill

Get ready for that protractor in my new enclosure. Better keep an eye out for it.

I really appreciate my Herp community for continuing to educate & to help learn from past errors! (I was born cold-blooded, before the internet existed, & am very glad I never committed such errors when I was little!!🙂

not alex going wild over ply wood "i could roll all over this wood"✨✨✨

I like the idea of negative star ratings on the truly abysmal enclosures

Thank you go herring for finally releasing this video🙏🙏🙏

You most love making these videos! Getting to roast people while the continue to send you more roastable content.

Alex, I literally had not been on Instagram for 6 years and I downloaded it JUST to post my one and only reptile enclosure for my Solomon Island ground boa... For your (hopefully) viewing pleasure. Pls review

We keep rattlesnakes in our backyard here in NM the lovely 102ish Temps,lots of mesquite bushes for hides and shade when needed, we keep them on regular dirt really easy cleanup and they are wild fed 😊😊

With regards to the "bearded dragons without water" thing - a lot of the...let's call them "facebook mom" level of bearded dragon keepers think that any humidity in a beardie enclosure is going to cause it to catch fire and explode or whatever. These same people soak their beardies weekly to keep them from being dehydrated. It's dumb.

I love these Rating videos! Keep up the good work xD

when i give my bearded dragon a water bowl he doesn't drink it and it evaporates and messes with the humidity

Alex, same on the magic eraser. HOWEVER we found out the contractor used FLAT paint instead of satin or semi-gloss. Flat paint is not meant for residential use and comes off when it gets wet... Anyway... That might be your issue.

HONEY NEW GOSLURPING VIDEO IS OUT

I need to post my Ackies enclosure for a rating. I don't think it's spectacular, but you don't see many so it'd be something different. 🤔

14:20 A Lot of people don't put water bowls In there bearded dragons enclosure because the humidity could get high and if the humidity gets high your dragon could get a respiratory infection

Depending on who you ask, there shouldn't be a water bowl in a beardie's tank. Allegedly, it will make the humidity too high and cause beardies to get respiratory infections and make them sick or possibly kill them. My beardies do drink water, but they love to soak in their water dishes especially if they're shedding. They mostly use them as a pool. They get fresh treated water daily, but will let me know if they feel I'm making them wait too long before cleaning and refilling it. According to the No Water Bowl Group, they get all the water they need from their veggies, or misting a surface a little. My smaller beardie will do the breast stroke to splash the water all over his back.

Did you film this at 2AM lol. You sound like I do when I have to wake up early for work.

Thanks for the review!! And yes my Mia and Tia were together ☺️.

I watched this earlier with my leopard gecko and he was blocking my view so I'm back and watching again ❤️❤️

Love the video it was pretty cool ant wait for the next :j

Most people don't give their beardies water bowls for 3 reasons: 1) Most beardies don't drink still water, or just shit in the bowl repeatedly 2) Causes moisture buildup, which normally in dry climates isn't an issue, but *can* become an expensive vet bill in moist climates like the southern us or the uk at literally any point in time 3) A lot of people and myself personally have beardies drink from syringes, this is helpful in that we know that they're being hydrated and provides bonding time I personally have had a water dish for my first beardie but as it got basically no use and as I live in a very humid area, I just don't really want to deal with the bacteria caused by non-chlorinated water and poop. I have also found that i can keep better track of my beardie's hydration through manually giving them water. Also I did notice a humidity decrease through the probe I have placed in the tank, so it works for me. Idk how to feel about the "they get all their water from their food" thing, i know some animals can do that but I personally haven't found anything concrete about beardies. I will not test this theory nor defend it as I don't really believe it nor try it. At the end of the day, as long as people are making sure their beardie gets water that should be all that matters. Some people, like me, are just a little more cautious. And i'm also not saying "OMG WATER BOWL BAD UR GONNA KILL UR BEARDED DRAGON" because it really just depends on so many factors. It's really just a personal preference thing, some people do it some people don't. Both sides gotta chill the fuck out.

the string lights in the retic enclosure?!

ALEX you already reviewed my retic enclosure lol last time you gave it 4 stars 😢. It actually hasn’t sold unfortunately. I would love to see what you think of my other work - I’ve just made a Skyrim theme BCI enclosure and a jungle book theme massive emerald tree boa enclosure. I keep them all in my “reptile room” which is just a massive sun room in my house. I’m actually in NC too so if you decide to go to expos again for whatever reason I vend on occasion 🤙🏻

I don’t use a water bowl bc I just think it’s easier to use a bottle. He doesn’t like drinking from the bowl

ALWAYS WASH FAKE PLANTS AND HIDES OR ANYTHING WITH HOT WATER TO PREVENT BLEEDING. I got those vines he mentions at 5:00 and soaked them in hot/warm water and yes the water turned green but theyre good after that.

Thanks for making me laugh for some reason

I used a magic erasers + DW40 to take off transfer paint on my car. Works really well

have people updated/upgraded their set ups with his suggestions? that would be a cool video

Dude, I've missed you. RU-vid stopped showing your uploads. So for like a year, I'd been thinking "Where's that reptile kid, Alex? He stop making vids?" But I could not for the life of me remember your name "Go Herping." I think I taught myself to forget that name, actually. But I suddenly remembered "Emerald Scales" and went to you site, which appeared to be in year long coma.

I wish these were also rating the animal health. You have great insights!

ngl this is my fav series

Hey question! Do you have any suggestions for cleaning wounds my leopard gecko got itself caught in an enclosure and it cut itself it’s scabbed up now and I cleaned it with warm water but any suggestions for future so I can be better prepared?

Cant wait to have my ball python's enclosure all set up so that you can rate it!

It’s taking forever to upgrade my beardies enclosure, she has been in a 40 gallon for a while but for half the time I’ve had her I’ve been trying to upgrade her, first made one out of a school project then it was thrown out by the school, teacher gave me “wood to replace what I had done” and gave me enough wood to make a 20 gallon when I was working on a 120 gallon, and now I have this dresser that im turning it into but slowly giving up on so soon I’ll have her a new enclosure to post

Thanks for the new Video Mr Funny reptile man!

hey, I just got a bearded dragon and when I pick him up he wiggles around how do I calm him down

Hey! I just got my first baby corn snake a little over a week ago and im having trouble lowering the humidity, its been staying at about 60-65% so i got a dehumidifier, a smaller water bowl, and i was using coconut fiber but replaced it with aspen and its still staying at 60%. My last option is to get a overhead heater instead of using the heat mat but if that doesn’t help I don’t know what to do. Is there anything else i can do? Im just worried because I don’t want him to get sick, any advice would be very helpful :)

Air plants love humidity, but need airflow :))

Bearded dragons get all their water from their food and veggies. Very rare to see a dragon drink out of standing water bowl. Plus it increases the humidity which can cause lung issues.. Surprised you even had to ask about this honestly

The first red eared slider turtle was mine the enclosure has completely changed now lol

Lmao 🤣 I love watching these

I feel like if RU-vid is going to censor a video of frozen-thawed mice being fed to a snake they might as well censor videos of someone eating a shrimp cocktail.

wouldn’t the wood on the china cabinet conversions rot with the humidity?

How do I submit my enclosure?

Question. Do you have any special education for this line of work / passion? My daughter would love to do something similar but isn't sure how to start. Thanks.

lmao this title is everything i need

Yo Alex, whatever you did to your hair....keep doing it😉

Hey can you do a care guide for King snakes

Was going to post my finished beardie enclosure for review but too lazy to reactivate my ig account

Why does papa herpes voice sound different like more human and non robotic Cute…. Boy

My turtle was the first turtle in the video thanks for the 3 star the enclosure is different and re arranged completely now!

beardies don’t really need water dishes when they’re older because they get most of their moisture from their greens

How often do these videos get posted?

Would love to show my enclosure buuuut it's still a work in progress and doesn't have much too it yet! 🙃

i love beardies and i really want to have one but i got a baby last year and i did everything right for it but it died after a couple days and i’m too scared to get another

It’s got wawa at 16:13 🤣🤣🤣

“I’d rub my whole body on this wood.” - GoHerping 2022 😏

Never been tempted to submit an enclosure pic, but now I have to desire to be roasted

once i move my beardie into his new converted tv stand inclosure i’m definitely posting a picture for you to judge

i dont think the enclosure at 9:44 is custom made as i've owned one that looked almost exactly like it

why does it sounds like you're saying gorping review in the beginning of the video

8:35 Alex was gettin frisky over some wood

green stone is fluorite. An inexpensive crystal that comes in a wide variety of colors.

Infinite turtle glitch

Hey! my scorpions juse those food dishes for💧😂

i wanna submit my tanks but i’m too embarrassed to post on instagram lmaooo

how are peoples enclosures so fucking bad?!😩😭😂

i though he was calling turtles fish for a second

MAGIC ERASERS ARE FR THE BEST GLASS CLEANER !!!!

I love the thumbnail 😊

I was going to post a picture of my 4 foot snake but it loves in a 10 gallon tank

i dont know what pets you all got but. iv never seen an animal other than dog or car that wont eat a nightcrawler.. good for constipated pets too.

This is the last good RU-vid video this RU-vidr is made so far

Spinach is NOT good for beardies, it depletes the calcium from them. The best veggies for them are collard mustard and turnip.

Does my Jumping Spider's smol house count?

Damn one of my posts gets found at last and it’s a feeding video that can’t be seen 😭

9:44 Whats wrong with this one ?

Dude!! GO Herping review to Snake Discoverys enclosure build off... It would fit this format plus generate a lot of views.

How does this video have 900 views and only 137 likes. I don't understand

it kinda fells weird how much energy he has im a little used to a more gloomy tone lol, im not judging or hating

It's do funny how baby beardeds cause people stress because I find them insanely easy. As long as you have the heat, the light, and the proper gut loaded insects, you're gucci. My baby girl is growing up beautifully and I'm so excited to see how she turns out (high orange leatherback). But I raise my own dubias and maintain their diets, plus she loves her bugs. It's so easy to get her to eat up and then she just basks in her heat and uv rays

I have a video idea for you. there's this reptile breeder called wilbanks reptiles and they are awful. we bought a snake from them and not only was he severely underweight ( they were feeding hatchlings only once a week) he got damaged in transit and his eyes were nearly popping out. when we contacted them about it they said it was congenital (him being a bamboo butter ball python) but after his last shed his eyes are starting to look normal. they also put a thing of hand sanitizer and a bunch of merch in the same box as him and he was coming from somewhere at sea level and was getting sent to a high elevation so it could have popped and killed him. Also, nowhere on the box did it say live animal and even worse they buy 5 star reviews (getting 100 in 2 days is ridiculous when your price point is as high as it is). Just thought you could give fellow reptile lovers a heads up. even reddit forums say they're shady.

Dat was three stars sir
