  • Good Morning, Reptilians! This week we're doing a video that has been requested a lot over the years... I've just failed to make it 😅
    until now
    We're talking all about reptiles that can live in small spaces. These are great if you only have a limited space to house an animal, or if you have an extra 10 gallon or 20 gallon tank laying around. I also tried to add reptiles on this list that we haven't talked about before. So there's that.
    Happy Father's Day! ♥️

    I have 3 green anoles and a long tailed grass lizard in a 40 gallon tank and they do great together. They are also very easy to care for. I have them in a bio active tank, they love it. I’m going to put a couple more in the tank as soon as my pet shop has them in. I know these are usually feeder lizards, but I just love them. They could be on the list, the don’t need much.

    Thank you Elle. My 11 year old daughter and I love your videos. We have a 1 year old corn snake named Luci, she's currently comfortable in her 20 gal tank, but we will eventually upgrade her to a 40 or 55 gal, depending on how big she gets. We're watching your channel to pick a new reptile to take Luci's tank in the future.

    Great video! My 8 year old son recently told me he thinks reptiles are cute (and I agree!) but every time I looked into getting something I was met with massive setup requirements. I’m not one to cheat those requirements so I never got anything. But came across this video and thought it’s perfect! Thanks so much for keeping it real!

      Depends on their temperament I think? , I'd avoid it unless your gecko is just super docile and friendly with other geckos. Maybe try some trial runs for a few hours at a time? Idk, I am no expert at all and open to learn more!

      @@brinleighbertram8372 I would definitely avoid cohabitating leopard geckos, you would need to have an extremely large tank and even then they would still probably get stressed out long term. They aren’t social so it’s better just to have one per tank.

      For males yes, but females will get too big. The minimum is the length and the width of the enclosure equating the full length of the snake. I’d recommend at least a 67 gallon (48*18*18) enclosure for an adult corn snake.

    Why are you suggesting 20 gallon tanks for geckos?? 20 gallon long tanks are the bare minimum size. And snakes should be able to fully stretch their bodies in their enclosures.

      Are you talking about leopard geckos? Because I mentioned multiple types of geckos in the video. 👀 If you're talking about leopard geckos, I say in the video that this is bare minimum size and I feel like they need larger tanks....... 😅
