Just a heads up- adult axolotls need a minimum of a 20 gallon long tank and need 30+ gallons (preferably 40+) for cohab. They also need to be within 1 inch of each other and have relatively the same size head. Also, black light is really bad for their eyes so only use a blue light *for a few minutes max* to see GFP.

[@petercho8910]

[@robf.6273]

A single axolotl should be provided a minimum of a 20 gallon long. My male is 12in long and would be too big for a 10 gallon. Two axolotls should be housed in a 30 gallon minimum, doesn’t matter if it’s 2 males or 2 females.

[@robf.6273]

Brenden Pare I personally like 55 gallon and 40 gallon breeders for 2 axolotls, but as a general rule of thumb 30 gallons should be the bare minimum. Naturally bigger is always better but most sources will note that a 20 gallon long is good for 1 adult axolotl and you add 10 gallons for every additional axolotl.

[@devinscreaturecrew]

This is definitely correct, although if you’re getting two axolotls, I would definitely recommend doing a 40 gallon breeder. I just upgraded my two super senior girls into a planted 40 gallon breeder and they are loving it- and it helps with their water parameters too. But it is correct that the minimum is 20 gallons long for one and 30 gallons long minimum for two.

[@kenjiro2676]

Green tree frogs and gray tree frogs are invasive here and we have winters that dip into the very low forties and thirties(Fahrenheit), so they definitely don’t need heating. An alternative would be African dwarf frogs, they are even smaller and you can keep 3+ in a 10 gallon aquarium.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

depends if you want an arboreal frog or aquatic frog

[@ChloroformHM]

I know this is an old comment but I figured I’d leave this here for anybody who is revisiting this video and seeing this.
I’ve been keeping grey tree frogs for a few years now and they do need heating in certain circumstances. If you have a tank with no substrate and you want to see your frogs, you absolutely need heating. The reason they survive in the low forties and thirties is because they bury themselves and hibernate. If you do not provide heating, there are two outcomes here. 1) Assuming you have substrate, they might bury themselves occasionally you might not see them often if at all which is always a little bit of a bummer and can be stressful in situations where you need to clean their tank as waking them abruptly from hibernation can harm them, and 2) you do not have substrate in which your tree frog can not bury itself when it gets cold and it will be very stressed and miserable because it will not feel safe to hibernate. I’ve provided my tree frogs with heating pads and, in dire times (We get some pretty bad blizzard up here, it’s not surprising to lose power a few times), using handwarmers stuffed in socks and they haven’t tried to hibernate yet, meaning I get to see their cute little faces all year round.

[@kenjiro2676]

[@angsfeatheredfriends]

A few years ago I used my 10 gallon tank for rehabilitation for a wild tiger salamander. It was mangled by a tractor (field tiller, mom found it, asked if I wanted a project), lost a leg and all of its tail. I had a 10 gallon tank sitting empty. So I turned it into a wild eco terrarium. Collected rocks from outside, dug up dirt from the field, collected spring tails and isopods from different areas around the property. Named the salamander Deadpool. A few months later everything was regrown, and he ate all the damn isopods I collected around the yard lol. Even though I was feeding him various insects I caught as well. Suppose regrowing things takes a lot of nutrition. I set him free in the garden area, where I know a ton of bugs love to eat our veggies. Hope he is living a good life out there. I did add a few more isopods before I let the tank to fend for itself.
I haven't touched the eco terrarium in almost 2 years now. Never even open up the lid. Everything inside is still alive. I never even open it to water the plants. Really hate the idea of just tossing it all out. I am not sure what else to do with it at this point though.
Before that I kept 2 breeder mice in the tank. To feed my little baby cute corn snakes pinkies. Froze the older ones, for my ball python. My mom used to hate seeing dead mice in her freezer lol. Sadly I had to give up my pet collection after I was 18 and moved. That was 21 years ago. Just starting to get back into having pets again. With 2 cockatiels, and 5 budgies.
I really want a reptile or amphibian (limited space atm), just cannot seem to settle on what to get.

I love looking after things, I have so many plants lol, it’s just really good for my mental health. But plants sometimes aren’t necessarily as fun as having an animal that will love u back and interact with u. But unfortunately I’m on a very strict set requirements. My mom is allergic to everything with fur and feathers, I am limited on space, so it has to be small, I also don’t have much money so it has to be relatively inexpensive, and ideally it wouldn’t eat rodents or insects but I think that I could do it if it was my only option. I’m not scared of snakes, spiders, shedded skin, or anything else so if u have any suggestions I would love to hear it.

[@ianviviTV]

Consider Crested geckos. They stay kinda small. They can live in a 20 gallon their whole lives. They don't required live insects, just a crested gecko food formula diet. They don't need special heating or lighting because they thrive in room temperatures 60s-70s. No more than 80°F. They just need lots of plants to hide, high humidity, so you spray tank twice a day and their diet food. Its good to give them crickets as treats and extra protein but it is not necessary since they get all their nutrients in the diet food.

[@ianviviTV]

Also when u turn a 20 gallon vertically , it really doesn't take much space and its a cheap option. Look for the tank sales 1$ per gallon. You can get a 20 gallon for 20 dollars. That is what I do. Look for the crested gecko videos. They are easy and cute reptiles.

[@cactusc9519]

yea!, i've also heard both 20 gal and 30 gal min. for cresties. and tbh, even a 30 gallon isn't that big especially if it's vertical.
and you might want to check out a little bit further - cresties are part of a group called New Caledonian Geckos, which have similar housing and caring needs, and some ppl find one they prefer over others. So there's gargoyle geckos, crested geckos, and chewie geckos.
Leopard geckos also are similar habitat and temperament wise, except they like things a bit more horizontal and warmer and dryer because they're middle eastern desert species.

I learned something new - I've never heard of web-footed geckos before! They look so cute with their long legs and big cartoon-ish eyes! We've been keeping a Chinese Cave Gecko in a 20L here - he could probably live in a 10 gal right now, but when he's at full size, a 20L is probably more appropriate. He was so tiny when we got him! He's up to just over 8 grams now, and he has grown quite a bit since we got him. From my experience, they're a pretty easy species to keep, but you never really get to see them. An ideal setup involves lots of dark damp spots, which means I have a 20L full of fake plants and cork rounds, and if you dig around you might find a gecko.

I've literally had this question since I bought my first snake need something to make use out of his old tank when he grows.

[@sleepyjay12]

omg I opened youtube just now *specifically* to see if you had a 10 gallon reptiles video, cause if not I was gonna ask

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

20 gallon video in the works :)

[@lifewithlaffy7931]

I am so glad you didn’t put leopard gecko in the list! So many people would put them in the same list!!!

[@Vanessa-te9cr]

just started watching u but love the quality and content

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

oh thank you so much!

[@basilstorm9461]

I know this is an older video but the minimum size tank for an axolotl is now 29 gallons, with a 40 gallon being strongly preferred

[@amazingaquaticsandexotics3030]

at this rate i feel like the so called minimum will become 75 gallons or bigger lol

[@Bella-jc3ji]

it's actually 20 long for just one but lots of people will push for a 40 breeder but you can definitely have 𝐨𝐧𝐞 in a 20 long and if you want more then one add 10+ gallon per each one 🙂

[@basilstorm9461]

@@Bella-jc3ji Care standards changed early 2022, now a 29 gallon is the minimum recommended, with 40 being ideal. You shouldn't have more than one lotl in a 40 gallon, and then it's 10+ gallons for each additional one

​@@amazingaquaticsandexotics3030it is getting insane...pretty soon my HOUSE won't be big enough for some of these...I understand with the water conditions for the axolotl but that is an actual rationale...a lot of other "size" issues I see are people anthropromorphizing small reptiles, etc...imo.

[@nathanberry5828]

Great video as always dude!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Appreciate it!

[@taliarose8825]

I'm super jealous that your leopard gecko is super chill about hanging out on you. My leo thinks he's arboreal and tries to climb up my head. He has branches and hammocks all over his tank. The guy just likes to climb lol

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

nice!

[@jdandkikisExotics]

i have a bio tree frog tank it looks cool cant wait til the plants grow

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

gunna look awesome!

[@F1fangirl96]

From the research I’ve done for axolotls they always always recommend a 20 gallon long minimum so I kinda disagree with number 5.

[@hardlightsasylum5533]

It'd be neat to see a video about animals that can be cohabited with their own species or different species that can be housed together in the same setup.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

just dropped this one, check it out :)

[@bellacontreras7595]

omg the sand geckos are sooooo cutee

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

they are!

[@esser8010]

Axolotls need more than a 10 gallon. 20 gallons is the minimum.

[@ronaldmcdonald4839]

I’m surprised he didn’t say a dekay’s brown snake

[@animallobby5550]

I keep mourning geckos just to have them and I love how interesting they are

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

nice!

[@johnagen3688]

Yes most definitely!!!!!! Please do all sizes!!!!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

For sure!

[@alldragonsaresluts1958]

A video on custom built enclosures would be awesome. Like the pros and cons, does and don'ts, and where to look for customs.

[@gacha_gecko5698]

Could you please make a video on gargoyle geckos? I love them but it’s hard to get correct information sometimes.

[@Renigade16]

Thank you!
I have a 10 gallon and I want something to put in it now that my crested has outgrown it.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

happy you enjoyed

[@robot_j2831]

I've been waiting for this moment my entire life

[@ameliaarmstrong6183]

For the Pac-Man frog the males actually don’t even need a 10 gal they need a 5 and it’s crazy bc of the size difference

[@KingNothing5711]

Yes...20 gallon long. 40 gallon breeder would be awesome too!

[@johnagen3688]

YES!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Coming soon 😊

[@twenny6256]

I've had 7 reptiles outgrow their 10 gallons in the last 3 months so now I got some options, thanks! :)

[@sahvanna97]

I've learned just to skip the 10 gallons 🤣 even my baby leos go straight into a 20 gallon long. My 10 gallon has a pacman. I tried a 20 with him but he used none of it. He used 2 spots on one side and only moved when he pooped. So he downgraded to a 10 and actually started eating way better.

[@twenny6256]

@@sahvanna97 They were all rescues from the same person ( he had a lot of bad crestie clutches and got a load of runts and he didn't have the time to take care and monitor them more than a normal crestie ) and i didn't feel comfortable putting runts in anything larger than a 10g at the time. Luckily they all pulled through fine with some TLC and are now all in their custom build 30 gallons

Im Currently going to get 2 Mourning Geckos, I have a 20 gallon for them, Im very excited, and before People start yelling at me, Ive been wanting a Mourning Gecko for a LONG time and have done TONS of research.

[@shriihanmukherjee6502]

Why would ppl yell at you?

[@kikitcat5]

I have found in these communities people yell "animal abuse" for everything, the newcomer learns nothing, flees from the site, and everyone (like the animal said community was trying to "save") is worse for it. Everyone piles on with their opinions and there is no way to vet every statement that is passionately made and thrown at said newcomer. It is actually sad and a big flaw of these communities, which should be for support, but this is the Internet so we can't have nice things!😭

[@OKLynnie]

Could you do a video on 40 gallon breeders please? I have an empty one and having a hard time deciding on what to get.
Are you saying tree frogs can live in a 12x12x18 exoterra?
And lastly, how do you keep your schefflera alive?? 😅

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

The big secret... ready.... I bought it like 6 days ago... hahahaa

I don’t really agree with axolotls living in a 10 gallon tank their whole lives and it being comfortable. Mine was in a 20 gallon long before I put him in a 40 gallon and he looked too big for it.. to each their own I suppose
