★About Professor Herp★
I started getting into the reptile hobby in February of 2018. My first reptile was my Bearded Dragon - Maxine Pegasus (creator of duel monsters btw). Since then, I have added five Yellow Ackie Monitors (Asus, Dell, LG, and two unnamed babies), a Chacoan Black and White Tegu (Frappuccino), a Crested Gecko (Destin), and a Russian Tortoise (Tortellini). I also have a dog named Thrall (yes, from World of Warcraft) who is a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix - aka a Chiweenie.
My goal with this channel is to share my knowledge, experience and journey with other reptile/animal enthusiasts and become a better caretaker because of it. Hopefully I can learn a lot from the community through these videos.

Honestly this is classy as hell. I have mad respect for the way you handle things. There is so much negativity and anger in this hobby and its nice to see people who dont buy into the drama.
Drama hurts everyone. Even those that start it.
💯
absolutely love this video man
I love how passionate you are about your lizards I’m not really familiar with them but ever since I’ve watched you and met you you are so compassionate and inspiring with the way you love your lizards and provide them with everything they need. It’s amazing and I’m so glad I am able to know someone like you
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Loving the content! You handle all your reptiles so well! Keep it up and I can't wait for the next video! :)
Thank you so much!
Great video! Nice to hear your opinion and side of the story :)
I already said this on another channel (not naming anyone out of respect) I don’t have any experience with grow tents so I can’t comment on how good it works and so on but I can see positive and negatives in both kinds of enclosures. No one enclosure is perfect for all species!
Professor Herp taking the high road! I was wondering if you were going to respond and I'm happy to see you maintained your professionalism.
Great video, thank you for sharing your opinion. I agree we should be able to share opinion and constructive criticism. Well done!
loving the video's like always john! don't understand why people even would hate on you, you litterly have the best with your lizards, keep it going buddy!
Thanks man
I love the way you discuss this situation and others your are very bias about things without being overly aggressive or negative it makes me so happy to watch your videos as I can enjoy watching but also learn alot I would love to see some more lizard videos
I appreciate that!
You did awesome. Thank you for explaining
Hey man thanks for clearing this up in a respectful, mature way ☺️ we do NOT need any more drama in the hobby, and it seems like people loveeee to start it. I don’t understand. Aren’t we in this for the passion of animals? This is the most positive thing in my life, I don’t get how people fish for negativity to start drama. We are all keepers and we are all allowed to have our own opinions and our own ways of handling our animals. We are ALL learning as we go along! Give Frappuccino a kiss for me!
Frap was very disappointed when I opened the enclosure without a Reptilink in hand!
What are the measurements for those black enclosures you had in the background looking to build something similar
Very great of you not to create more drama, but to inform people on why you don’t like grow tents👏
2:16 i needed this sentence
Very well put and I totally agree not everyone is an expert so your opinion is 100% helping people especially since you want people to question it to get the best information well done 👏🏻
Thanks mew!
Great video! Way to share the opinions in an adult way with supporting facts and ideas. Side note, what PVC enclosures are there behind you in the video?
Custom order Animal Plastics
I love this channel. Ur videos r the reason i became a reptile owner. I used to have a cat. Got rid of it cuz it was annoying. Then k bought a komodo dragon. And it was the best decision ive ever made. Ty for these videos. Without the knowledge and facts u gave me, my komodo dragon would be dead right now cuz i wouldnt know how to take care of it. Keep making videos brother
ohhhhhh DNA
Great vid
Great video!!!!!!
Loving the videos! Can you make a video on how to over winter russian tortoises?
I will keep it in mind!
Grow tents are awesome! Especially in the Beginning or If you have an outside enclosure and need an inside enclosure for the weather. I’m pretty sure I misunderstood your other video. 👊
Dude, awesome freaking video man!
I need to find a video like this, but for pythons specifically blood pythons and ball pythons. I honestly don’t know what to use for a enclosure. I don’t have enough space for a 4 foot long glass enclosure.
Great video, do you think a mangrove monitor would make a good first monitor?
@SmoovCat why
@@LHELT464 They need a fairly large enclosure for their size, a water area that is big enough for them to SWIM in (not just soak) and it has to be filtered, they will eat mostly insects with some meat and whole prey, they aren’t extremely tame because most of them are WC, They need a very hot basking spot and high humidity, they need a pretty solid amount of substrate that can also hold humidity, you need to have big branches that they can climb on and you have to secure those branches so they don’t potentially fall on the animal.
I think a better beginner monitor if you’re looking for something arboreal is a:
Timor Monitor (Varanus timorenis)
They are a species of dwarf monitor which means they won’t need a very large enclosure (around 36x18x36 or larger)
They don’t need a swimming area
They eat primarily insects with the occasional pinkie mouse as a treat
They need high humidity because they come from Indonesia
They need a hot basking spot (Around 120 degrees F)
At least 4 inches of substrate that can hold moisture
Being arboreal monitors, give them places to climb
They are a bit shy, but with frequent handling they will calm down
Timor Monitor average price: $150-200
@@PlanetOReptiles I have done a ton of research into Timor monitors, I would get one but I heard they aren’t good for handling
@@LHELT464 That’s awesome! People have calmed them down. Check out Snake Discoveries video on building them an enclosure. Try searching “ Timor Monitor Enclosure Upgrade”
@@PlanetOReptiles I watched it right when it came out
What about for brarded dragon
Great video I think your point was clear here 👍 🙂
Glad you think so!
I agree with you on majority of your points.
What material are grow tents? Wouldn’t they tear a lot
not sure. Think it depends. They can be reinforced and are probably not best used for larger reptiles.
I'm a few months late responding on this video, but maybe you should show proper set up in a grow tent. I use a grow tent for my Tegu and she thrives more so than the enclosure she was in when we adopted her. I personally think i have her set up good, but would love to see a video on your opinion on doing a proper set up for a grow tent for a Tegu..
I do not like grow tents personally. They are not for me. Doubt I would use one in the future but who knows! Thanks for the suggestion!
I’m using grow tents for an iguana and a Chinese water dragon. They’re awesome for high humidity species!
They are great with humidity!
Underrated
why would people start drama with such a chill and cool guy?
Cant people take any critcism without becoming salty just because what a small group of people think of something one way doesnt mean others cant have a different opinion and different views on something than you-
Keep up the good content Professor!
I am pretty rad aren't I? :)
@@ProfessorHerp yepp
HEY GUYS HOWS IT GOING
I swear I haven't been able to find your channel despite WWR mentioning you. Found it now :)
Welcome aboard!
I use grow tents so I can save money to give them more plants and enrichment u said this perfectly tho not all species do well in grow tents
Would a grow tent be bad for ball pythons? I've seen a couple of people who put a few racks in a big grow tent. Humidty is great and temps are controlled.
no sure tbh. Not to knowledgeable on BP care
I always love keyboard warriors. I love your info keep on doing u. An opinion is just that.... take it or leave it.
Thanks, will do!
Grow tents are a tool if it is used for the right reptile and used properly they are fine. Do I use them or would I no I wouldn't but I am not going to shame people who do, as long as they are used properly!
But I was dissing grow tents too. I think it’s due to a pre existing issue. T
You didn’t say anything against grow tents. I rewatched the stream. You said “if you have the money for a vivarium, why not buy one”
LMAO JOHN HOW COULD YOU LET ME FALL
bahahaha
I love you.
I SAW HIM FIRST
@@WickensWickedReptiles HES MINE >:l
Lmao I thought you were a bot
that's cute, even his fiancee knows he's mine... :)
@@KamOBannon his fiance is mine too.
What I don’t get, is I said I don’t like grow tents either. But seriously it’s getting childish lol
Soumds like you have issues with bad keepers than grow tents. Problem with these enclosures aee they are really expensive,especially aince covid, and the companies cant make them fast enough.
As some one who keeps reptiles with grow tents I don’t think professor herp said anything wrong, even if you are against grow tents it’s understandable because I was too, but I disagree with him when he said a lot of people are not putting any effort in their grow tents and that is the majority of the case when it comes with grow tents. I did a lot of research about grow tents and even joined a Facebook group (facebook.com/groups/611005919288553// ). The majority of enclosures I’ve seen really shows versatility and the vast capabilities that can be achieved with grow tents ( even with large Reptiles). Most of the enclosures I’ve seen when it comes to monitors and tegus and water dragons have the walls reinforced with bamboo Fence and have digging areas using containers or bricks.
you ever just stared at a beard for 15mins ? i have...
a very unkept one at that!
Imagine someone getting mad because you have a different opinion. Sounds cringe as fuck.
If this was a mma fight... this was a win by a really gentle rear naked choke 😂
Honestly your a breeder I’m sure the comments your getting have to be from people who just got into the hobby and are doing everything by the book when actually there’s hundreds of ways to house I’m sure those would be the same people who would hate a community fish tank different fish
