32 REPTILES I GUARANTEE YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF!

[@NugShrub]

As someone who devours info on reptiles my entire life(32 in july) I really wasn't expecting to see anything new but you came through Adam. That tegu was beautiful. I keep a couple of the others on here but all in all a solid list on the less known wonders of the world. Happy birthday man

[@aidanlauzier326]

I know this is a once a year kind thing but I would literally pay for more of these

[@paulscoolscales]

RIGHT?! That's what we are focused on! Our footage was used for #13!

[@travelreview5962]

Patreon has a bunch! Personally I pay for the top tier and it's worth every penny!

[@WhereFernsGrow]

im honestly shocked about how many of these amazing animals i knew!! I hope some of these animals are able to make a come back and not go extinct, they are beautiful.

[@orareichhoff4391]

I didn't know two.of them

[@katherineirons4967]

I love Mata Matas! I saw them for the first time at an expo. I could never have one though, I struggle enough with a 30 gallon fish tank. Or snail tank, as it has now become...
Happy birthday!

[@Nadia-ri5wx]

Happy birthday 🎉 great video, Solomon island boas are underrated. Tentacled snakes are ones I would love to see in the wild they look amazing

[@darthshrek1]

My brother and I used to catch reptiles out in the Mojave desert, where we grew up. Our best catch was a Gambelia wislizenii (leopard lizard) when I was 14.

[@DeChane369]

I went 8/32 for not knowing them/hearing about them before so I’d say I did pretty good. Happy Birthday man! Keep making the great content

[@mastercrazyyyd7699]

21/32 for me, guess I know more reptiles than I thought I did! I own a flying gecko and he is the funniest little guy who I absolutely love.

[@Michael-es9xw]

Diamond just nuzzling into your neck omg my heart 🥹

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

I do love him!

[@Michael-es9xw]

@WickensWickedReptiles So sweet ima get the diabetes, unfortunately I don't have room for an enclosure for one :( But am looking into a Leo soon. A lady on Morph has some hatching anyday ❤️
LOVE your channel man. Best info available imo

[@ingeniouspixie]

Cool list! I really like the Spider Man lizard and the Hognose Viper. Those Flying Geckos are adorable, too. And, I really hope that Scientist's Buffet guy isn't on the endangered list.... *sigh* Ok, those are all my thoughts. Super fun video, thanks!!

[@InferiorRaven77]

The big headed turtle, the thorny devil and the zombie frog were my favourites. The garial is really cool too!

[@tkmccoywv]

I knew all but about 10. But I'm addicted to Sir David's amazing wildlife documentaries, so yeah. I tend to know about things no one else does :)

[@heliumhubcryptocollective9337]

i used to work in a pet store..in Agus ONT, called Gator Pets..my bosses would get in all the wierd stuff..back when their were zero regulations...my bosses got in several chinese water dragons....i regret to this day not getting them..one cause of how rare they are here and two because they were just great to handle, very docile, relaxed species, very interesting to watch and set up tanks for ...u need a good space with water trees and space to lay out...they need it all...and use it all...just an all round great reptile to have an herp with

[@kobe1565]

Happy birthday Adam and I just barely missed it I knew 15/32! There were a couple in there I briefly heard about once but, I didn't count it to be fair. It was the hairy frog and the snake neck turtle... Still a great list!

[@cowlauncher0901]

I was the first one to answer when you asked your Discord and my answer was Sunbeam. So glad to see this species represented

[@foxshot8967]

Happy birthday Adam! And finally some love for the candoia boas! You should look into getting a Solomon Island tree boa at some point! Captive bred and already on rodent feeders would be ideal, but talk about the perfect arboreal snake! Imagine an Amazon tree boa with the temperament of a ball python!

[@Stpunk17]

I KNOW IM LATE BUT HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADAM! Thanks for getting me into the hobby!

[@MrFishBlood]

I had a flying gecko about 25 years ago. Just found it in a pet shop for about $10, and they said I could cohabitate it with my barking tree frog. They seemed to get along just fine. Still one of my favorite reptiles I have ever kept (I had the world's tamest tokay gecko too, he was awesome as well).

[@jimmysprinkles_]

Wow first time I’ve seen a sponsor that I actually stand by! Into the AM is one of my fav companies and I’ve been wearing them for years!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

I love their clothing

[@theuneducatedbiologist9637]

I actually learned about 6 new species! I love your videos Adam! Keep up the fantastic work!

[@theuneducatedbiologist9637]

Also, HAPPY FRIGGIN BIRTHDAY BRO

[@annakevlin8634]

🎉🎉🎉Happy birthday!🎉🎉🎉
So was I the only one who was hoping for a longer video today with a number like 32 in the title?
Great video as always regardless 😊

[@alexallen9640]

Happy birthday, Adam and nice list. I knew 20 and didn't know 13 of the creatures on the list. 🥳👍🐍🎉🎂

[@christmas10023]

That's 33

[@RealJRoyall]

I'd heard of 23 but the other 9 were super rad to see. Happy birthday my dude! I hope it's a great one.

[@LuckyStone888]

I have never heard of Fish scaled Gecko (Geckolepis sp), The northern blunt-spined monitor (Varanus primordius), The green-blooded skink (Prasinohaema virens), Günther's Sun Tegu (Euspondylus guentheri), and Scientist Lunch buffet Lizard (Leiolepis ngovantrii). I was very surprised I had not heard of this many.
Great content.

[@mrturveydrop]

Great video! So many new reptiles! My first boa was a Solomon Island ground boa, but that Zongs (sp?) Oddscale Snake was a beauty. Thanks again, and Happy 32nd!!

[@Anything_Editz02]

It’s a good day when Adam posts

[@Soilfood365]

Happy Birthday! 11/32 were new to me. (I had to check that the 'Spiderman Lizard' wasn't a regional variant of Kirk's agama to be sure that it was unfamiliar. It is related, but distinct).
Lunch buffet Lizard made me think of our (Southern Africa) "Eastern Herald Snake" - there is no western herald snake, but it was first described in a newspaper called the 'Eastern Herald'.
Some you may not have heard of from within my homecountry (Zambia):
The aforementioned Eastern Herald.
Burrowing Asp (The bane of the casual snake handler, aka stiletto snake)
Turner's Thick-toed gecko (A big chunky gecko of rocky areas; very personable)
Purple-Glossed Snake (Almost identical to the burrowing asp, but more inclined to appear above ground and barely venomous)
Zambezi Giant blindsnake (rather chunky, somewhat beaked, burrowing snake)
Kafue Worm Lizard (Endemic earthworm-like amphisbaenian)
Kirk's Rock Agama (Exchange red for yellow in the spiderman lizard)
Angulate Dwarf Gecko (Tiny, short-lived, reticulated geckos that are everywhere around houses and gardens)
African Dwarf Mud Turtle (Smaller than most of our Pelusios terrapins, but no less stinky)
Rhombic Night Adder (main 'model' for Egg-eater mimicry - somewhat venomous but quite well mannered)
Snouted Night Adder (occasional model for egg-eater mimicry - enough venom to be upsetting for a short while, but docile and rarely recognises anything below as a potential threat, so often handled).
And an amphibian as a bonus:
Marbled snout-burrower (Pig-faced frog that burrows with its face).

[@brwnumygwel]

Great video as always!!!! i didn't knew about the same ones that you didn't and the fishskin gecko. 6 more rabbit holes of research to go through now.

[@gamer708886]

Reptile: Exists
WWR: That's my favorite reptile!

[@JC-fz2pv]

Mang Shan Viper has the most insane pattern, need to see more of these.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Definitely!

[@clistiarobinson34]

Happy birthday Adam, I haven't heard of some of these but I am seriously going to start doing more research to know about this whole list. Have an awesome day

[@itsLizJaramillo]

I didn't know 10 of them. Great video! I'm such an animal nerd that I usually have heard of just about everything

[@markcillophotography]

Great video!
We have the Ozark Hellbenders here in Missouri, really cool to see them on the video. They are probably a lot more common than people think, we see them all the time on the streams where we fish.

[@GalacticcGaming]

The most metal thing about the hairy frog is that it will break its own toes and use those as claws to defend itself.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

SLAYEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[@bobbiec2829]

Happy Birthday! I believe I counted 7-8 that I hadn't heard of before.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

very cool!

[@videosbythemadanimalhouse]

There were some good ones on that list😁 think my favourite had to be the big headed turtle😅 I've got another one you could have added... Casqueheaded tree frogs😁 there's a few different species but I keep triprion petasatus😊 really not very common but have some cool behaviours😁 I was lucky enough to get a couple as a rehome from a friend of mine😊 won't be producing any, though coz they're both males😅
Also... happy birthday🥳

[@manthemanlyman]

Happy birthday dude! I have been watching you since 2020 and it’s insane how much you have grown since then! 🎂🎉🥳

[@sarahblancher3817]

I didn't know about the white eyed crocodile skinks, northern blunt spined monitors, zombie frogs, green blooded skinks, zong's odd scaled snakes, gunther sun tegus, catalina rattlesnakes, and buffet lizards. Very cool to learn about these animals!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

oh absolutely!

[@zakarymcleod1850]

I've heard of chinese croc lizards, white eyed croc skinks, tentacled snakes, spider tailed horned vipers, mata mata turtles, tuataras, gharials (they have them at the St. Augustine Alligator farm if anyone want to see one in person, hairy frogs, spider man lizards (didnt know what they're called but I've seen them here in Tampa), pygmy chameleons, big headed turtles, earless monitors, keel bellied lizards, snakenecked turtles, flying geckos, thorny devils, galapagos land iguanas, african egg eating snakes, and the hognose viper. That's more than half, but not all of them.

[@brofishb5423]

Knew 13/32, Loved the variety in this countdown!

[@Narutass43]

"I don't wear any clothing"
- Adam of Wickens Wicked Reptiles

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

accurate

[@mikeayers8951]

OMG you mentioned White Eyed Croc Skinks!! They're amazing!!!!! Such an amazing family with 8+ babies. They really love their babies, and for a long time too. I'm currently waiting for a new egg to hatch.

[@MetalGurl4Eva]

Happy birthday Adam!! 🎉🎉
I’ve heard of 16/32! Not too impressive, but I did learn about 16 other species!

[@GilraenTook]

Happy birthday!
Spidey Lizards were the first I hadn't heard of, which is odd since I live in FL. You'd think I'd have heard the rants about all the exotics by now. Also hadn't heard of the fish scale geckos, the first of the monitors, the big head turtle (omg, so cute!), I don't think the king rat snakes?, the green skinks, possibly the land iguanas, the odd-scaled snake, the sun tegu, the rattle-less snakes, and, ah, the buffet lizards. Funny. I figured I'd only know about 10% of the list, and I knew most of it ^^'

[@gaurweth]

I was surprised I knew a whole 15 of them, this was a super fun list! Edit: Happy birthday!!

[@ashersamphibiansandreptiles]

Awesome video and happy birthday friend!! My favourite was definitely the Chinese croc lizard!

[@Paula-sw2tt]

The ones that I didn't know: Spiderman lizard; Northern blunt spined monitors; Borneo earless monitors; Zongs oddscale snake; Gunther's sun tagus (interested in learning more about these); and buffer lizards. Happy birthday Adam.

[@cottagegremmy]

Happy Birthday !! First time I'm super early. Excited to watch and learn :))) Thanks for makin great vids ! Hope your birthday went well (assuming this was recorded before today)!

[@KyriosMirage]

Knew 15 of 32, clearly I need to binge more of your videos... Happy birthday!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Thank you!

[@trcrawlies3727]

I knew 18 of these reptiles/amphibians and I didn't know 14 of them.

[@funimationdeath]

I learned about 7, most excited about the Hognose Pitviper. I have one that almost nobody talks about. Madagascar cat-eyed snakes.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

very cool!

[@kitsuanuma5569]

Happy birthday! Hope your day goes well! Keep up the great reptile work!

[@MrBeefy-og7nw]

Spider tailed horned viper...wow! Amazing, weird, and so cool.

[@graceshaw2541]

Happy belated birthday Adam! Super interesting video, keep up the amazing work! (would love a pt. 2)

[@just_krane4854]

Happy late birthday man ! I'm new to the hobby but I've been watching your vids for months now and you've helped me so much

[@Rainy_Loser]

I knew 17/32, tentacled snakes are one of my dream reptiles!

[@frozendusk7177]

Only didn't know ten of them, did better than I thought I would have. Glad to watch your vids, keep up the hard work

[@jaschabull2365]

32: I don't remember if I've heard of these, I might be thinking of crocodile skinks. Pretty cool, in any case!
31: Yeah, I've seen a red-eyed one, but I'm not sure if I've seen a white-eyed one before.
30: I've seen pictures of some pretty iridescent snakes, but I don't remember if any of those were sunbeam snakes.
29: I actually have seen these in person before! Vancouver Aquarium had some in their tropical section at one point, I think.
28: I've seen animal channels like Nicole Lindsay talk about these, they're pretty amazing, pretty cool for a snake to turn the tables on birds.
27: I actually remember seeing this one in a documentary as a kid and loving its constant smile. Such happy bois, definitely friend-shaped turtles.
26: Definitely have heard of these, I think maybe first in a Jerry Pallota book? Pretty cool this super ancient isolate branch of lepidosaur still exists.
25: I remember first learning about gharials in a nature-related spot-the-difference book I got as a kid. Also, anyone who's caught a krookodile in Pokémon might have learned it had a real-life counterpart.
24: Shouldn't the list be herps instead of reptiles if amphibians are in it? In any case, I've heard of hairy frogs before. Like the gharial, it has a pokémon equivalent in toxicroak (though toxicroak doesn't have its hair itself)
23: Might have seen one of these before, but I don't concretely remember.
22: This is a new one to me, as I don't know that many boas. Pretty neat patterning it's got.
21: Also new to me. Interesting feature with the scale "mange".
20: Never seen these before either, they sure are cute!
19: Also never seen that monitor before, pretty cool tail.
18: Pretty sure I've seen that exact TikTok shared on Instagram, pretty crazy a turtle exists that basically has squirtle proportions
17: Never heard of these before, they're pretty awesome looking!
16: Never heard of these either, are they a relative of the purple frog? Definitely has that familiar silhouette!
15: Also new to me, pretty neat!
14: I've heard of these before, quite possibly in the same book I learned about the gharial in.
13: Don't concretely recall having heard of these before.
12: Never heard of these. They're all green on the inside? Ok, that's wild.
11: I think I had a toy of one of these, I certainly recall hearing about geckos that glide.
10: Yep, definitely heard of these prickly li'l ant fiends of the South Pacific!
9: I remember seeing these in a David Attenborough documentary last year, I seem to recall watching them clamber down precarious cliffs to lay eggs.
8: Another reptile I recall seeing in a documentary, namely Animals Are Beautiful People.
7: Don't have any recollection of seeing this snake before, pretty cool!
6: Also new to me, pretty cool as well!
5: Quite a pretty tegu, never seen one before!
4: I've heard of rhino vipers, but I don't think I've heard of hognose vipers. Pretty cool snake!
3: Learned about these from a Jerry Pallota book and I remember naming the quagsire I caught after it. Such amazing amphibians!
2: I've heard rattle-less rattlesnakes are more common in areas they have to interact with people, as rattling usually makes a person more likely to kill a rattlesnake than less, as it just gives the snake away and gives the human more cause to want it dead due to being tipped off that it's venomous. Not sure if that's the case with this species (if it's the whole species, I suspect not), in any case, this species is new to me.
1: Never heard that story, poor lizards :(
Final tally: 13 I've never heard of, 13 I have heard of, 6 I'm not so sure about.

[@rickieoakes5267]

They live on Islands where they prey mostly on birds, so they are semi arborial and the rattle would be a big give away.

[@ShirahaneYuki]

Happy Birthday Adam!! Hope your day is as awesome as you are!!

[@bradclarke2770]

I caught a 2' hell bender about 40yrs ago while ice fishing in the dead of winter. I t was caught in a lake in Wisconsin. Happy Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! - MJK

[@kerseykrewzoo]

There were 13 on the list I hadn't heard of and I was pleasantly surprised by how many of these "unknown" species I had heard of. The Fish Scale lizard is one I'd heard of before and the way they shed their scales as a defense mechanism is super awesome and gross at the same time.

[@TheJStale]

A very happy birthday to you, Adam! I hope you have a good one! You are a little over a year older than me, and we are sure getting old haha!

[@willclark5426]

You forgot to talk about the Sugondese Ligma. One of the neatest reptiles I've ever seen.

[@Lorena5799]

I knew the sunbeam-snake, the chinese crocodile lizards, the tentacle snake, the broocesia, the keelbellied lizard, the snakeneck turtle, the thorny dragon and the african egg eating snake. My favourite was the turtle with the big head! Sorry if I wrote anything wrong, I'm from germany 😅

[@Parakeet239]

Happy birthday WWR!!!!! The big 3 2

[@hollyodii5969]

I think the Tuatara has an adorable face! Happy birthday Adam!🎉

[@brandibastian4193]

Happy birthday Adam. I was not paying attention to the number that I knew versus not, but there were some that I recognized (not many) So you're just a few months older than my sister My sister who's a decade younger than me. She turns 32 in September and she has a cresty named echo! Actually not that long ago. She also technically had a leopard gecko for a while. I never got to meet that one cuz it passed not long after she got it. It was in a bad situation. She rescued it and was trying to bring it back to health but it was too far gone.

[@AronRa]

I was so arrogant, I thought surely you wouldn't know any that I had never heard of. But, much to my surprise, I didn't know almost half of them.

[@Repti-verse]

I love my pair of solomon island ground boas! They are super cool boa species!

[@dimmasvaerd]

You got me on 12. So, 12 new species for me to look up. Awesome.

[@falksokoll2094]

I'm looking forward to your 50th birthday. I wonder how many reptiles you'll present on that occasion?
Congratulations from Germany, enjoy your birthday!

[@kennithnieman9130]

Good video I didn't know about half the list, one I did know but still amaze's me is the spider tail viper.

[@rottweilerfun9520]

Happy Birthday Adam , I hope that you have a great day with family and friends.

[@lookingglass3626]

That flying gecko is TOO cute!
My tally - pretty much 50 - 50. Some of them I knew about in the sense that I've seen them in videos but didn't know them by name. The "hellbender" I've always just known as the giant salamander.

[@VeronicaLeigh79]

We have tuataras at our zoo. I love them so much, and feel so lucky that I get to see them. 💚

[@andreloos7843]

great video, thank you!

[@gecko-guy362]

Happy birthday Adam

[@breyerobsessionist16]

The Scientist Lunch Buffet lizard gives me crested gecko vibes. Like, they thought that cresties were extinct and then *plop* a crestie fell into the lap of a scientist. So cool!!

[@alainszyller615]

Gunther Sun Tegu looks amazing...among all those other beautiful critters

[@ericcarr1648]

Happy birthday, dude! Hope you have a great day!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Thank you!

[@kennethlambert1837]

I've got a Solomon Island Tree Boa which are reasonably close relatives of the ground boa version. She's an awesome snake, but I'd be somewhat surprised if any of the Candoia species get very popular. I don't think any of them are easy to breed in captivity because you need pretty big habitat and multiple males. Almost everything out there is imported or "captive born". I got mine as a long-term-captive and still felt kinda bad because odds are she was imported. I can console myself with the fact that they aren't threatened.

[@vanessavieux7283]

17 of those I had never heard of. The only reason I had heard about some of them is because I watch your videos lol

[@joebauer2768]

Happy Bday! I didn't know 15 of them. Well done, sir!

[@NatalieandElise]

Happy Birthday Adam! I knew about 15/32 of the reptiles

[@rebekahkennedy4562]

I've actually heard of several of these. My dream gecko is the flying gecko. There was someone at Tinley in October with them. But I'm sure they were wild caught. There is a breeder in Wisconsin that has them. One of these days I'm gonna make the 4 hour drive to get some. First, I need to make an enclosure big enough for them to glide. The minimum tank size for them, in my opinion, is too small. Plus, they can be cohabed. All the more reason to have a giant enclosure. And I really need some nocturnal animals in my life. I spend half the week only awake at night, due to my job. It'd be nice to have some reptiles to keep me company on the nights I'm awake. And yes, I know they are mainly look at only kind of animals. Nothing new to my collection. My beardies are the only ones I have that tolerate being handled.

[@suemoo22]
