Idk....my beardie always watches me when I enter my room. I take her out but she wants to go back in. BUT SHE STILL WATCHES ME. Lol😄
@@brianameza9794 they recognize owners
I used to think ball pythons were smart. Then i got some and now i realize that between the 6 of them they may have 3 brain cells to rub together.
Yeah I love my ball python to death but he's definitely a little special
They're just adorable lil' derpy noodles too innocent to comprehend love. 🐍💖
My my pythons are a lil slow but the cutest thing ever
For a “semi arboreal” snake they sure suck at holding on to things
@The_Worst_Guy_Ever I took my Ball Python to PetSmart on Wednesday and he fell of my shoulders and hit the floor 😱😲. Luckily, he was fine but It did scare me a little bit.
My local zoo had a Galapagos tortoise for several years and I’d go to see him a a few times a year. He was very old and didn’t really move that much but every time I came he would get up and walk over so I’d pet his neck. I declared his name was Ekaway. The zoo just called him Eddy. He recently passed away due to stomach issues but I truly believe he was wise.
oh man, sad
One of my vets said that monitors are some of his best patients. They recognise that they get better during and after their treatment because they have excellent long term pattern seeking brains and after at least the second or third visit they associate the rubber gloves with help rather than hurt. Especially the ones that are regulars that recognise his face, smell and voice specifically.
Dogs, cats and birds freak out in the same situation but the monitors just let him get on with it after a while and their stress and aggression levels stay generally low and stable throughout the visit.
Now you KNOW that's a smart animal if they can recognise that the horrible pain and discomfort that they feel right now will pay off in a few weeks and that the people doing it to them are actually helping.
Can you please make a list of the top 5 most misunderstood reptiles.
love this idea
@@WickensWickedReptiles i second this request!
@@WickensWickedReptiles me too
Yes please 😊😁
Dumeril’s Boa
11:11 "Imagine if you could target train a retic"
You can, Lori torrini has videos on her channel of exactly that, shes even going as far to train her retic to voluntarily hold still for an injection.
“your gonna get a 6 to 10 foot snake, depending on the size.”
*ah yes, the floor here is made of floor*
hahahahhaa
My grandma's turtle used to give "paw" and follow her around whenever she would let him out of his enclosure. It was the cutest thing 😄
wow
Finally some Falsie love. False Water Cobras are such underappreciated snakes
they really are amazing
I know I really want a pair! :0
Absolutely!! They're on my bucket list to have.
Thank you. FWC's should be flooded on UA-cam
I love my falsie!!!!!!
Clint's reptiles has been collaborating with the Mink Man who is training his monitor to hunt for him. Successfully. It's pretty cool.
I used to have a red foot at the zoo I worked at, she was the sweetest thing, she'd get so happy when she saw me, follow me around like a puppy, and was just so full of personality. I miss having a Red foot.
very cool
My hognose is definitely inquisitive! He always notices when I open up his enclosure. He in fact waits and asks to come out as he loves attention. He loves to explore and climb. He is very gentle with feeding and is accurate. False water cobras seem awesome too. I'd love to give training a tortoise a go since they are fed often and something you can hand them definitely can be done! Great video I love talking about animal behaviour. I train mammals using positive reinforcement and want to extend this to reptiles.
7:51 _Adam:_ Number two-
_Advertisement:_ Cats! They're smart enough to get their paws into your will!
_Edit:_ (This actually happened)
hahaha that's crazy
Dang cats
Oh yeah I know that commercial!
My commercial was dogs 🐕 😆
“But not smart enough to clean their own teeth”
My BCC is super aware of my presence. Thats why his name is Control. Hes really inquisitive about my hair, always moving upward to get a good look at it. Its got to be very intelligent for a reptile. Good entry.
nice!
Chameleons are also really smart. Just from personal experience I've learned this. As soon as they spot me in the room, if they want something, they come to the front and like make eye contact with me, sometimes with both eyes. They won't stop staring at me until I open the door and give them something to eat. If I don't open the door, they start climbing on the door. They also always look like they're really thinking about where they want to go when they climb and walk. Sorry this is so long, lol. I just wanted to share some info.
I'm really glad you mentioned how Hognoses seem a lot more cognitive than one would expect from a snake their size. I had a corn and ball before i got my first hognose, so her behavior kinda threw me for a loop for a while. She's only about a year and a half old, but like, she seems more aware and interested in the things around her than my corn and ball ever were.
Like, sometimes when i got into the room she's in to get or look for something, and I'll take a quite look in her tank, and she'll be there, peeking out of a hide or looking towards me when she very clearly hadn't been before i came into the room. If i step closer to her tank, she'll inch out of her hide/move closed towards me. Sometimes, if she's particularly active, she'll go all the way to the glass and crawl along it.
I first chalked this behavior up to her expecting food, since i do feed her in her tank, but she has a completely different behavior for when she thinks i have food now. She'll starting rearing up, towards the top lid that i remove to put her food in. and she'll stay like that, even if she's moving to another area of her tank (bc she's usually laying where i tend to put it, since she's a weirdo who never took from the tongs.) It's so bizarre. And she's mostly accurate, which is the freaky part. like, yeah, sometimes she'll do it when i don't have food to give her, but a good 7/10 times she'll somehow know.
i've tried for months to just kinda put myself into her perspective to try to understand and explain away why she does what she does, like with instinct and stuff, but i've never quiet been able to shake the feeling that there's something a lot more there behind her eyes. She's just...super cognizant for a snake.
At least in that regard. She's also a snake who absolutely will crawl right off a tabletop without any hesitation. And then look offended at me when I catch her, like I'm the problem. Hognoses are just weird.
I think them falling off of tabletops is that nothing in their instincts tells them they’re approaching a ledge. In the wild, even a cliff will decline before dropping off. A table is completely flat, so nothing in their environment is telling them that if they keep going, they will fall. Just a theory
Recently came across your channel, quickly becoming one of my favourites
Awesome, thank you! Thank you very much
Definitely agree with the intelligence factor of rear-fanged venomous snakes. One of my garters, Ruby, definitely seems to be smarter than other snakes I've owned and seen. She voluntarily comes up to me to crawl onto my hand and smell me all the time before going about her business. She also seems to trust me more than my other reptiles.
I inadvertently taught my chameleon how to flush out the crickets that hide at the top of the cage by the light and frame. He only sees what moves, so I would nudge them or tap at them to get them to move so he would see them and go after them. Now he'll stand on his hind legs and pluck at the top screen with his little nails and looks around the top to get them to move and go after them.
“Say of course again, I dare you.”
hahaha
once again it’s squid
His other personality finally popping out to threaten hisself
Yes steam, the people on WWR discord do actually watch the channel. I know, shocking right?
@Joel Setyo pardon?
Tortoises are really intelligent reptiles. Our tortoise (I just know the German name of the species - it's "Breitrandschildkröte") is interacting with our dogs, he has his own mind for sure and knows exactly what he has to do when he want outside of his enclosure. He also waits in the bathroom when he want a bath! Isn't that cool? He also knows the difference of food and finger while feeding! He also loves to have sex with Crocs (the "shoes"!) - it's weird but funny, his noises and all... He has much character, there is definitely much goin' on in his cute head! Excuse my bad English - greets from Austria ✌🏻
You're right about boas. When I got my b.c. amarali, the first time I fed her, I put some newspaper on top of the substrate as I didn't want her to ingest any substrate. At the next feeding, some three weeks later, I put in the newspapee, and she struck - clearly, she remembered that the newspaper meant food was coming. She's a wonderfully docile snake except when food is present, so I'm sure she remembered. No newspapee since then!
You make my day better I've been subscribed since August 2020 and I love this this channel you even made me lose my fear of snakes your so underrated and are part of the reason I have a leopard gecko
really!? that is so cool!
Alot of people have a fear of snakes i totally get it! Thats why i volenteer with a group to educate the public bringing our own personal snakes for education purposes. Alot of people after seeing how the snakes are with people slowly take a second look at their own fears, Ive even had people hold a snake where as the hour before they were petrified to be near them!
Thats so impressive to get over a fear like snakes! Took me 6 years to break my fear of spiders (family is austrialian so fear of dying was comon) Took 6 years but now I see the beauty still havent held one.
Least intelligent reptile: politicians
can't disagree there
Literally the worst reptile to keep, no positives. -3/10, would not recommend.
Sooo expensive and very boring
@@squid4399 They are even worse than children 😂
Mammals (and therefore humans) evolved from a group of reptiles called synapsids, so, yes, politicians are the dumbest reptiles
My male dumerils boa has learned to differentiate between live and frozen/thawed prey, and when its the latter (which I intend to keep feeding him from now on, so nobody needs to lecture me on the risks of feeding live) he has learned he doesn't need to bother wrapping it, and just grabs it pretty gently and pulls it down into his cave to swallow. I feel like that's an indicator of some sort of intelligence on his part, to overcome the hardwired instinct to wrap when its basically just an unnecessary energy expenditure.
I would include the king snake into the list as well. I had a ball, corn, rosy, and king. The king would watch me as i moved in the room. He was so curious. the others only seemed alert when they knew food was around. Out of all my snakes I loved the king the most, he was so fun to own.
they are super smart!
I mean, I've seen king snakes try to eat themselves or line up to mate themselves, so I'm skeptical about their smarts. They don't seem to have good self-awareness.
I think garter snakes are pretty intelligent for such tiny guys. Even the wild ones seem inquisitive.
deffinantly agree mine always come to see if theres food and adore exploring new areas! I just setup a bin thats 4'x2'x2' with pvc ledges and obstracles even with a hide fastened to the top lid. Found her enjoying that hide alot! So much for corns not being climbers
Yes, all three of mine are very curious. They observe the world with a lot of focus.
@@elorine1535 feet or inches?
@@KarmicEwe feet. Dude, what reptile lives in a 2 inch cage...
Bruh I’ve been non stop watching your channel it’s very informative and I’ve been doing my research to get a blue tongue skink once I have enough but I’m excited thanks for helping me get into reptiles preciate you bro
0:40 I think crocodilians would easily beat out king cobras. They can actually follow some human commands
About the leopard gecko thing: mine perks her head up when I come in after school/work. Other times she’ll get up and walk to the front of the terrarium and when our picks her head up and turns around from the edge of the bed when I say “Mila no”.
I do not think they are really smart, but are not dumb and definitely notice you
Mine is an absolute idiot with maybe half a brain cell but he does look up when I come in the room on the chance I might be feeding him
My false water cobra is so smart and cool. I love him to death.
I'm jealous 🙄
Where did you get your fwc from?
@@itzjdub282 I bought it from a local reptile dealer I know. I paid a premium for it.
A type of boa (Cuban Boas) has been seen to engage in what can even be considered pack hunting. I just skimmed a couple articles but it sounds like they basically form a snake wall outside bat caves so they can each have a better chance of catching a bat when the bats try to leave at night.
I think curiosity and troublemaking are signs of smarts ;) I recently got into Lori Torrini's training channel and it's made me rethink some of my keeping- I'm going to work on more out of enclosure play areas. I'd been kind of working on training my savannah monitor, but it made me want to actually take it more seriously, and try it with my ball pythons.
Super cool video Adam. I swear two of our Ball Pythons run a game on us. It's like they know if we find them on their cold side in the morning they're gonna be held. When we take them out, they go around our necks and either rest their head next our jaw or shoulder and just camp out with a knew you were gonna hold us look. I know, sounds crazy. Keep 'em coming my friend 👍🏾🤘🏾. Take care 🇺🇸🇨🇦.
hahaha super cool pythons
Yay, you gave props to Kamp Kenan! He really sets the standard, especially when it comes to larger reptiles.
he's great!
The amount of Bert and YMH references on your channel brings me emence joy.
keep your dogs away from Bert!
I used to do custodial work at a zoo and they had an argus monitor. I used to visit him every day, he was my favorite animal there. Just amazing.
Definitely my favourite reptile channel
thank you!
@@WickensWickedReptiles Your welcome
Great video Adam! I love hearing what you have observed about these reptiles. Hello from Atlanta!
This is why I love beardies. My bearded dragon knows everything that goes on in her domain. Any time someone enters she watches them and is always aware of what they’re doing. They look at you with a certain intelligence, and she definitely gets excited to see me and even certain other people. My girlfriend has taken care of her a lot and she gets so excited when she comes over while with other people she’s indifferent
I find it funny you mentioned your leopard geckos don't seem to notice you, because mine definitely does! He'll look at me when I get near his enclosure and has learned to recognize my tongs as giving food. If it's feeding time and I reach in without them, he tracks my hand like he's wondering what's going on!
That's awesome!
Ooohhhh I agree about the tegu! Mine knows her name and anytime I enter the reptile room when I call her name she comes out 0f hiding up to the door! She also trained very easily at a very young age. When I tap the tongs 3 times against her open door, she knows its food time and the response is so fun!
I enjoyed the videos of the reptiles interacting with their environment and enrichment. More videos of smart snakes and reptiles being cute please!
You got it!
At my store we have a red tegu named Snoopy. He is a good boi. Not only can I literally hand feed him F/T rodents without him biting me, but he the other day surprised me. We let him out to free roam and when he was all tired out from walking around the store, he climbed back into his enclosure himself and laid down under his light. It seems like such a small thing but you don't see that with say a bearded dragon. He also is very aware of someone's presence and has even seemed to figure out who will let him explore and who just looks at him. When customers are looking at him for example, he doesn't move much and just chills under his light, when I walk over he gets up and comes to the door knowing hell get some exploring time. Its very very interesting. I love watching him and interacting with him.
Came in to suggest tortoises. Happy to see them mentioned. Ive trained a Hernanns to not leave certain areas of a room, without boundaries.
Thanks for sharing
I'm surprised you didn't mention Eastern Indigo snakes(Drymarchon couperi), by far one of the most intelligent snakes. I read something where they can recognize their owners, and become "attached" in a way. I don't want to say they "care about their owners" because that's with a whole other level of controversy, but they become attached in the sense that some individuals will only accept food given by the person it trusts. They are beautiful and amazing reptiles.
Of all the reptiles I have either owned or dealt with, my Woma Python was the smartest. I have never seen a more curious about the world reptile. She could differentiate among various family members and act accordingly, she even had a memory probably better than mine. lol
I gotta say I ended up blindsided by how smart my mourning geckos are. Day 1 of me getting them my (late) youngest was able to hook her shed on plants and then walk in the opposite direction to pull it off in one piece. Yesterday I discovered that the reason my oldest doesn't eat her Repashy is because she prefers catching the insects that go to investigate it rather that eat it herself and watches the food to wait for when they show up to grab them. They're always out watching what you do, too. I keep them on my desk next to my PC and so I watch them back a lot and they are definitely somewhere in the smartness scale closer to my ackie monitor than to my bearded dragons despite being about the size of coin.
SoI got my sav a giant chicken coop and I'm painting the inside and whenever I go in there to paint, she climbs up my leg and watches for a minute, and then leave to run around, but she will check on me every 5 minutes or so lol she watches EVERYTHING! She really is smarter than my dogs lol
amazing
How the hell did you not include Drymatchon???
Indigo snakes and cribos are widely considered to be the most intelligent non venemous snake.
Tegus also can make good guard pets. My tegu Princess bit a man, who was trying to attack me. I never seen up until that point, her get aggressive with anyone. My nieces and nephews but I'll play with her (obviously with adult supervision), just an absolute cuddle bug. But in that moment, to protect me she bit this man right on the Achilles tendon. Obviously he lived, it was just a really nasty bite. But at the end of the day it was in defense of me.
I've been having the hardest time paying attention to Adam because of the white snake crawling around on the top of the tanks the entire time he's been talking - with Diamond possibly looking like a snack on his shoulder.
Hey Adam I’m back! I missed your videos and I love the content your amazing! Keep it up 😁
Welcome back!
We have 4 tegus. They're certainly the smartest reptiles I've ever had or seen. They're the best!
Yo love all your vids
Love how there’s 0 dislikes
thank you!!!
Sadly there is now 4 dislikes
Aw sounds noises
My one leopard gecko comes out of it's hide when I walk in the room and I've heard of other leopards doing the same. But the ones I've seen for sure that react to their owner are not in a rack system
I can attest that tortoises can be very smart. My mom owns a handful of mojave desert tortoises, they act like dogs. They all have very individual personalities, they have came up with ways to communicate when they want food/water, they've even came and got us when other tortoises flipped over or were stuck and needed help multiple multiple times. They like following you around, nip at your toes, when they want to do something they will figure out how to do it, they always want to be in the house, they play with her dogs, they love exploring. They've gotten into fights with each other, we've yelled at the instigator and the instigator acted like they were ashamed (I'm not saying they were but for days after wards they would slowly walk like they were moping and when they came to get food they wouldn't look you in the eye. The fact they came and got food from you makes me think that it wasn't from fear). It's really surprising how smart they are, I have always owned reptiles, I've owned snakes and lizards my whole life and those tortoises made me completely change the way I think about how smart they can be.
I don't know if anacondas could be lumped in with boas here, but my local zoo has a yellow anaconda in their education/ambassador collection whose been trained to tell the difference between feeding and handling time. One tap means dinner and two taps means handling, and while he's still young he seems to have caught on quickly. I knew snakes could be intelligent but hearing about this took it to a whole new level for me.
I just found your channel and I already love it! I subscribed😄
thanks so much
Your welcome:)
Do people think iguanas are intelligent? I remember meeting one thinking it was a very aware reptile.
My Cayman Brac iguanas are the smartest reptiles ever recorded on You Tube. I have trained them to do multiple tricks and complicated stunts, best in the world!
Personally I'd see Taiwan Beauty Snakes on this list. They're a snake that are super curious and really do notice your presence when you enter the room and are super inquisitive.
Good call!
@@WickensWickedReptiles I thought so. They're definitely an underrated snake species. I got mine as a rescue and he is by far my favourite to watch and handle.
I have a couple leopard geckos but onlyone of them is very aware of everything in the room, and he even looks me in the eyes when I approach. He also uses his tail to scare crickets towards his mouth.
My greek Tortoise was so smart in the way of breaking out. She was able to break out of every single enclosure we had her in, didn't matter how high the walls were or how much we tried to stop her, she somehow got out
I was impressed with how smart bearded dragons are.
Who is the snake on the top of the cages in the background? Loved the video!
she's just in a really clean enclosure, the plexi is so clean she looks like she's loose haha
In my experience, if you want a smart, inquisitive snake? Corn snakes.
My female corn chases a laser pointer.
@@jdm8702 Aww I would name her kitty! :3
Oh, cool. A beginner-friendly snake that's also pretty smart? I like it.
I just got my first ball python and your channel has been super helpful and I enjoy all your videos!!! Thank you so much for a great channel!
I can confirm my boa notices when im in the room and Messing with the substrate and honestly i knew boas were gonna be on this list. My boa usually just comes when i open his enclousure and climbs onto my arm i always thought of that as strange since i only ever see boas, burmese pythons and carpets do this. But every snake has a different personality
I feel like bearded dragons should also be on that list. There are times I'm like "yeah this girl is pretty brainless" but I have witnessed some truly astounding things from my beardie.
Same here! He is so focused on everything and knows his name, and when it’s feeding time. He’s funny too. I love my beardie.
my sulcata good smart amazing boy... he comes when you call him and seeks human interaction out and you can tell he knows what’s up... love him
so cool!
Common snapping turtles, eastern painted turtles, king cobras, monitor lizards (especially, croc monitors, black throat/white throat, and all monitors really)
All crocodillions. Not pets for Joey averageman but firecly intelligent
I think I have proven that the smartest species of reptile is the Cayman Brac rock iguana, of course I have never seen videos of all reptiles showing intelligence, but from what I have seen , the Cayman Brac is hands down the smartest reptile species. I do have lots of videos to prove this.
100% spot on with the tortoises, my Sulcata Blinky actually comes when you call him. And will follow you around the kitchen and sit and beg for food 🤣.
that's awesome
Man I'm gonna just sub now
Yur channel is awesome!
Ps, can u do a video about the funniest reptiles pls?
thank you so much, I love that idea
@@WickensWickedReptiles another list where hognose will be on the top?
Crickets are not one of my favorite things. However, when I temporarily raised them, any time I added a random food item, they ALWAYS ran over to take a small bite and evaluate if it was good or bad. They were not starving and always ready for food, I made sure they always had food, but they always were curious about newly introduced foods.
It was pretty fun. I even gave them things like super tiny piece of fried chicken (like 1/4 the size of a toothpick, nothing wasteful) and they sampled it.
A little off topic here, but, there is a crazy irony with this...
Crickets favorite food = freeze dried Mealworms
Mealworms favorite food = freeze dried Crickets
Both species get insanely greedy when you offer them.
Instead of walking over and eating it, instead, they will grab it and RUN to a place to hide with it so that they can eat it all themselves.
This is even with mealworms who are in a bedding of foods, so you know they aren't starving.
There may be other foods they both like more, but with my tests, it was the only food that gave this response to.
I tried many human foods and many pet foods (including fish foods, turtle foods, dog food, etc).
great to hear
I once had a BCC eat a section of newspaper I was using as a substrate because it smelled like rodent, so I’m a little skeptical about boa intelligence, to be honest.
Brian Barczyk target trained one of his retics. Those guys are incredibly smart. And as far as boas, my BI boa is clicker trained. He doesn't come out of his hide for food until I click the clicker.
him: puts snake in the list for smart reptiles
his snake in the background: why am i not out yet? i put my body near the exsit? why isnt this working,if i just do it more im shure it will work.
hm yes very smart
hgahahhaha yep!
I subbed 2 days ago or something and I am really glad I did
than you so much

My ball python appears to be somewhat intelligent. I know ball pythons aren’t really considered an intelligent species but she seems to be really aware of her surroundings. She always notices when I walk into the room and will often come up and sit in a branch and that’s how she lets me know that she wants to come out.
BPs are really cool snakes
@@WickensWickedReptiles I feel like their mental capacity is really underappreciated
Video idea: Bearded dragon feeding guide. BTW love your content.
Thanks for the idea!
It’s a good day when wwr uploads
AND he shaded Brent Chrysler
uhhhhh hundred percent
Are Rosy boas substantially smarter than Antaresias or Hogs? A video on smart beginner stuff would be cool.
My leopard gecko notices when I walk into the room, especially if I'm noisy, she will poke her head out her cave or even walk up to the glass. But I still think she's dumb lol, just curious. She will walk up to my hand and stare at me all cute, but the moment I touch her she spins around and runs. I did adopt her though and I need to be patient with her.
My Leo baby perks up and will wake up when she sees me! When I show her what she’s going to be eating, she gets so excited. And my green anoles have their own personalities and I can tell they’re thinking.
“You probably shouldn’t be keeping king cobras.”
Me: *looks over at my king cobra* “They’ll never tear us apart!”
Oh yeah! Boas seem very intelligent! I have to work later into the evening and when I come home I usually handle our baby boa. It's gotten to the point where she waits by the glass door to come out, the lock for the door is part way in the enclosure and she'll just sit up on that and when I come over she'll lift her head expectantly as if she know's it's her time to come out.
My yellow rat snake is super smart and hyper aware of what’s going on around him...it almost seems like he wants to be involved in whatever I happen to be doing. Lol. And my hoggies, while derpy, I think are pretty smart! 🥰🐍
You could totally put a tortoise in your hood or kangaroo pocket. You might be wearing the most tortoise friendly hoodie ever in this vlog.
All of my leopard geckos are in racks as well but every time I open them they come right up the edge because they think its feeding time. I do have them tong trained to eat live, canned insects and Hikari leo gel. Also 2 are litter trained as well. Only one doesn't really come out and is more shy.
i got my first tegu when i was 15 they are definitely really smart i was able to target train mine and he responds to my voice too but i don’t think they are quite expert level pets the enclosure size is the hardest part i would say but other than that they have easy care and are very tame and easy to work with
You are a man after my own heart! Tegus are one of my dream reptiles to own! It'll probably be years and years down the road but, dang I'd love to own one!
hoping to get one in 2021
Tegu,s, are amazing I just vot a baby;)
I own a female imperator boa who sometimes reacts to stuff happening in other rooms or even outside the house.
I love to open her enclosure then get back to my computer, reading my mails and making myself look occupied while I discreetly watch her : some days she will get near the entrance of her enclosure and just wait until every one in the house gets out and the car leaves, then she starts exploring around and flickering her tongue in all directions, me still watching her (I may sometimes have to get her back to her enclosure if she gets too far away) but as soon as the car enters the courtyard, she rushes back into the enclosure and watches the entrance with an "S" shaped neck. She is very tame and curious but very exclusive to me at the same time.
Great list Adam🥰
Thank you! 😁
I know I'll never have the space for any of the bigger monitors or a tegu, so an Ackey is my dream herp to get down the line. You can really tell how smart they are just by watching them, I've heard people describe it as almost crow-like.
Love your vids
thank you very much
Although it doesn't look like that, the Tokaj geckos are also very clever, to a certain extent they take care of their young and can even cooperate. One breeder had two Tokaj geckos in the terrarium, and when they wanted to run away, one jumped on the door and did not open, but later both geckos learned to jump on the glass at the same time and the door did not last and opened.
Hi I've been watching you for the past year
thank you so much
Cool video. Love my Falsie. Glad you acknowledged them!
A snake I've been really impressed with intelligence-wise is my Macklot's Python. Apparently they have reputable intelligence.
I had a Madagascar Red Tail Boa. He was so cool. Really fine scaled, felt like silk. He had a personality, as to where my ball python was cool but he was just there.
What’s a Madagascar red tail boa?
@@WickensWickedReptiles it's a 🐍 beautiful creatures.
@@WickensWickedReptiles there may be a different name for them I bought it at a pet shop and that's the name they had on it.
I feel like My ball python knows me. Whenever someone that’s not me hold him he’s scared and is in a ball but once I hold him, he’s moving around.
