Huge shoutout for showing ACTUALLY rare species and not the 10000th hognose or ball phyton morph and saying OMG SUCH RARE SNAKE. Really loved this video
What an awesome video, bro! Ashley brings in such amazing animals. Its so refreshing to see these sort of animals being worked with in the hobby. I really appreciate all the cool commentary on each species too and not just a basic ID.
Agreed! They have recently become pretty popular on IG with some cool photos and stuff being posted, but they are otherwise a relatively unknown species.
Omg I'm so stoked to hear that Chameleo Namquensis are being kept and bred in the hobby! It's one of my faves! Definitely not your Grandma's Chameleon. Can't wait to see the resurgence of Meller's Chameleons, too! Super kool herps! Ty for sharing!
a breeder in Florida is recently selling Royal Tree Snakes aswell, a pair for 20K. Definitely some pricey snakes but very beautiful. Happy to hear about Saara and Namaqua Chameleons entering the West. Hope they can become established and then make there way to the states. Awesome to see Naultinus grayii becoming more readily available, still a very expensive gecko and not one you will see oiften. One species I have heard is starting to take off in herpetoculture in Europe is the Galapagos Lava Lizard, hoping they will oneday make it stateside too, I had the poriovelage of seeing them in the wild and they are such cool little lizards!
Coldblooded shop? His were imported WC as well. In order for those species to become established we'll need a few more imports from Europe with different bloodlines otherwise they are doomed. I've never heard of those lava lizards, they are really neat! they are definitely on my list of something to see when I make it to Galapagos someday!
@@MikeTytula Yes it was Coldblooded Shop! Yep everyone gets very opinionated over wildcaught animals, but without them we would not be able to establish any species to the point WC animals are no longer needed. As someone who had the privilege of going to the Galapagos twice it is an amazing experience and i couldn't recommend it more!
Congrats on the carpet chameleon babies! And thanks it was a really special moment for me! They stayed in ontario so fingers crossed there will be some babies coming in the near future.
Always love the energy level of your videos. I think naturally occurring hybrids are interesting. But unsure about forcibly producing them for the hobby.
i have a buddy whos got a breeding group of the desert chams in canada, and omg the margaritatum!!! Saw them the first time ever online in 2019, cant believe they are now here!!!
The idea that hybrids in the wild could be a complete accident or the next step in evolution or both is so cool! We shouldn’t be doing it in captivity unless to save species genes (not for fun) however when it happens in the wild it’s mostly our fault anyways. Another great video!
I used to see those green geckos walking to school in a town called Perone where n Wellington New Zealand, there are different green species throughout nz but very rear to see them in the wild now, I saw them in the 80s
They might be rare for yall in Canada but where I live in the USA you can own any reptile and I've seen alot of these reptiles plus they have them in the one zoo that's 3 hours from my house. They are very beautiful reptiles I'm so happy you were able to see and hold these unique reptiles
They certainly don't have the royal tree snakes, but ya for those hardcore hobbyist many of the these can be seen. The Northland Green geckos are another incredibly rare one all over the world.
@qbisland4476 how the hell would you know in first off u don't know where I live second I've Been all over the USA and I know alot of reptile owners so before you run your mouth maybe you should actually know someone and their life first
It looks like the Royal Tree Snake has had some bad sheds and will probably need the end of its tail removed. Did you notice that as well? Otherwise all stunning imports as usual. I actually saw Ashley at Hamm in the spring. Hope she makes an appearance again next weekend
The only argument I personally understand (everyone is entitled to their own opinion) is that it can be difficult to track what’s what and is the utmost importance for breeders to do their due diligence of keeping track of the offspring of their hybrids when applicable.
Agreed! And to make sure they are labelled as hybrids because many people are into F2 hybrids and they look so much more like one species than the other. That's when blurring the lines because so easy.
we have a smaller species of legless lizard in Norway and they really dont feel like a snake when handled. In lack of a better description its more like handling a living steel rod...
I live in Israel, and we have a little desert chameleon that is hard to find, but very cute. Anything that is native to my country is illegal to own, so no euromastyx, no chameleons, no Greek tortoises, etc. Our while list is only two pages long.
I actually find hybridization really interesting and I dont have a problem it happening in captivity. The fact that its possible in the first place is enough for me.
hmmm current status 'At Risk - Declining', due to a mix of land development/clearance of habitat, and predation by mammalian predators , they need to be in the hobby so people can start to breed it for conservation , sad it cant even survive in native new zealand
I'm from South Africa and was not aware that we exported any of our local chameleons, I hope it was done legally and not through some illegal poaching from our beautiful country
@@MikeTytula I'm here because I like your videos, not because I'm researching guides. And I'm just saying that the world is bigger than North America and you can, if you want, think of ways to include a larger audience, like me who wants to know about reptiles without having to do math 😇

I’m a chameleon mom but love and am fascinated with all reptiles. Love this introduction to some awesome reptiles and snakes. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed the video! It’s always fascinating to learn about new crazy creatures!
“Potentially spicy aftertaste” 😂💀 my new fav quote
hahah even I laughed at that one while I was editing.
Very nice! Never heard a peep about the Rainbow Tree Snake. I totally agree with your assessment. Most stunning non-venomous!

Heyyy thanks so much for the amazing content!!!! Much love!
Thanks for watching!!
I love this! Some beautiful species I've not seen before. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
Great video. Also props for showing habitat!
I did my best to show where they were from, couldn’t always get it though.
Amazing, so incredible to see these species highlighted. True gems!
Thanks for watching Harry! They really are gems!
What a fantastic line up!! 💚💚💚 Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks so much for watching! Looks like you went on a bit of binge on the channel today haha.
@MikeTytula Gonna watch 'em all!! Haha 🤣🤣🤣
Love it! Good luck there is a lot of non sense on this channel hahah
The Northland Green Gecko looks awesome!
They are fantastic!
Omg those Uromastyx so very cute. Great video.
They were adorable!
You are awesome, and your genuine curiosity, excitement and passion for these animals shows. Well done, keep it up!
Thanks so much! So happy I get the privilege of seeing these incredible animals :)
@MikeTytula I'm happy about it too! hose red tailed green rat snakes are something else 🐍
Ya they are insane!
My two favorite animals were the tall handsome one in the green shirt and the smaller one in the black shirt!😂
Great video!
Hahaha thanks man! Hopefully you enjoyed the lesser animals in the video too

Good to know! I will definitely keep that in mind!

@MikeTytula thanks. Very exciting to hear they stayed in Ontario. Also Fadi is in a bake off with Bill live at 8pm tonight.

Very cool u got my like and i subscribide

That was really fun mike thanks ❤
Thanks for watching James! Even got a chameleon in there for you!
@ I know !! super cool thanks buddy
snake is gorgeous too both!
They certainly are!
you literally unboxed all of my dream reptiles in one video :()
There were definitely some awesome species that came in! What species was your favourite out of the bunch?
Wish I had that red tailed rat snake. Very envious!
That colour is gorgeous!
Always love the energy level of your videos. I think naturally occurring hybrids are interesting. But unsure about forcibly producing them for the hobby.
@@letrosezburn1495 Thanks! I’m not the most energetic person, but gotta love some crazy cool reptiles :) totally agree with the hybrid statement.
Do you think that red-tailed green rat snake might be axanthic? If Blue + yellow is green would green - yellow be blue?
In theory it could be, but at this point I would just feel more safe saying its a blue oxcy hahah
makes sense, thanks
She has some sort of crazy connections because the loricata and the naultinus are damn near impossible to get in North America
Nah she just followed the book, they aren’t bad to get into Canada, they are harder to get into the states.
@MikeTytula does she have social media so I can follow her? She keeps a lot of diverse stuff
She doesn't really keep much besides Gonyosoma oxycephalum
Great video!!!!!!! Thanks so much!!!!
Loved it!!!!!!!’👍🏼👍🏼🩷
Thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed!
i have a buddy whos got a breeding group of the desert chams in canada, and omg the margaritatum!!! Saw them the first time ever online in 2019, cant believe they are now here!!!
Nice! Probably got them from this shipment? They are indeed here!
How does heavily compacted substrate facilitate burrowing perfectly?
They dig into it and it holds burrows. I haven’t seen them in the wild so I’m not entirely sure what their burrows look like
Right at the intro, those tanks, are they connected somehow? Like metal braces in between them to hold em up? If so what're they called?
They are Reptizoo enclosures and ya they are all connected.
that green gecko is brsutiful!!!
Ya the green gecko is insane!
Cool video. You should get bree one of those Gonyosoma for Christmas.
Hahaha definitely not gonna happen

That’s so crazy to hear! Unfortunate to hear they aren’t as prominent now though
Incredible. SE Asian colubrods are my favorite snakes
Ya they are Bree's well! Someday we will make our way over there for a herping expedition.
How could I find out more about the common stream lizard?
There isn't a whole lot of information available for them, best place to look would be research papers and such on google scholar
@@MikeTytula Thank you!

You shouldn't make blanket statements like "you can own any reptile in the US". This is false and makes what you say....crap
It feels like ethical hybridization has to do with a lot of different factors
Agreed!
Hello.... These are reptiles in my area rare... thank you for sharing about them...
Thanks for watching! I’m happy you enjoyed!
your voice reminds me sooo much of wedge from the FFVII remake, which is great because i love final fantasy!
hahah I'll take it!
It looks like the Royal Tree Snake has had some bad sheds and will probably need the end of its tail removed. Did you notice that as well? Otherwise all stunning imports as usual. I actually saw Ashley at Hamm in the spring. Hope she makes an appearance again next weekend
Ya we noticed it as well. She definitely won't be there next weekend, but that is cool that you got to meet her!
Are these captive bred?
Most of them are, depends which one you are talking about
@MikeTytula all of them
@@MikeTytula the royal tree snake?
They are not CB unfortunately, nobody here breeds them. I don't even know if anyone in Europe or SE Asia does either.
@@MikeTytulathen they are takin from the wild? And if they are why are you supporting it?
The legless lizards are found all over the USA, snake discovery ever has them. Their eggs didn't make it but they did get eggs from them
I know they have them. They aren't that common in Canada for sure. Thanks for the update on snake discovery!
Did you get anything? 👀
Watch the whole video ;)

The northern tree lizard looks like the lizard version of an emerald tree boa
The green gecko? Ya that is totally true!
This is always my dream species.
Which one?
@@MikeTytula i mean the royal tree snake,but every pair selled for 20000 dollars in China
Are those from Steven Bol? 11:11
I have no idea, I don’t think so though.

Oh wow that is crazy! I wouldn't have expected that
I am wondering who bought these crazy ‘expert’ level reptile. Canada or USA breeder? I am really interested when they have namaqua chameleon offspring
I honestly don’t know where they all went. The Namaqua chameleons stayed in canada though.
Duncan MacRae has an adult trio of margaritatum, he says they were extremely easy to acclimate 🤔
hmmm never heard of this person! That is really good to know :)
i’ve been emailing them trying to get ahold of an animal they say is in stock and haven’t gotten a response in 2 weeks 😭
You've been emailing who?
@ northern lights reptile imports, been inquiring about one of their Blue Rhino Rat babies for about 2 weeks now
@@haydens465 She doesn't have any babies from the blue rhino rat, that's probably why?

Ya its most likely outdated. The most up to date place to find new information would be her facebook account
Namaquan chameleons in Canada!?
you betcha!
the boiga and the red tail rat
Those are your favourite?

Great Choices :)
Stream lizard body literally has o no wrote on it. Please tell me someone else sees this?
Hahaha I definitely see it
I actually find hybridization really interesting and I dont have a problem it happening in captivity. The fact that its possible in the first place is enough for me.
