What is the animal you love keeping most?
ferrets
Southern angle headed dragon, mostly cuz it’s my only reptile since I’m in australia :P
Dog.
Betta fish currently
Cats and crested geckos at the moment!
I don’t know why the care guide does poorly. My 9 year old daughter has been saving up to get a leopard gecko because of watching your old care guide. She has saved up and watched all she could and research at the library.
great!
Seriously?! I recommend the new care guide to someone who unexpectedly came into a leopard gecko over on Reddit and everyone was on team "this is a great guide and Adam genuinely cares about the species"
Its gonna be so awesome for her the day she gets one! I hope its not that long annymore.
I love the care guides, even for things I think I'll never own. Just love having as much knowledge as possible about all of them, don't know why that's not more common.
I adopted a leopard gecko from my local rescue and she’s the sweetest baby ever. Maybe a full grown gecko would be nice for a child, little lower maintenance etc compared to at least in my experience a baby leo. I don’t know just food for thought.
"The care guides have been doing so poorly."
*Immediately heads to binge watch the care guides*
you rock!
@@WickensWickedReptiles I don’t get why they’re doing poorly, the production quality is amazing and they’re super informative. Thanks for making them!
@@WickensWickedReptiles I've been watching your guides lately just by chance as I just purchased a BCI and am thinking about making some radiant heat panels. So even if they don't have the best performance they are greatly appreciated.
"the care guides have been doing poorly" *proceeds to go and watch every single one because I LOVE to learn about animals and also I want him to keep posting care guides*
Meanwhile diamonds inner monologue is like "you better at the very least give me an a". We all love you Diamond 😁
"You better rank me at the top if you want your ears to remain intact, hooman."
@@CommanderWiggins😂😂😂😂😂
You’re killing it bro. We’re similar age and I was the weird reptile kid in school too, and only had what my mom let me/funded me and now that I’m living on my own I’m finally almost done my first reptile shelf/wall. The newest addition is a baby dumerils and although she’s being picky right now, she’s gorgeous. My hognose is by far my favourite, she’s so sassy but also gentle. You’re an inspiration man, from another fellow millennial, weird reptile kid from Ontario. 🤙🏻
that is so great to hear!
My cornsnake is definitely squirmy to handle and never stops moving, however he's tame as can be and has never struck or shown any defensive behaviour. Which is surprising given he's a wild rescue (he stowed away on a shipment of plants up to Canada so I ended up taking him in when he was found).
Ya, my cornsnake can be squirmy. Easy to handle and never have struck at me. I find them similar to Kings but dont have to worry about accidental bites. Also, very inquisitive. Surprised corns were below Kings and hognose. My hognose can be defensive and have had a bite.
I liked the video. Of course the rating changes based on your personal experience. My uromastyx is shy too. Some days he is cool with me, others nope. As for the Dumpy's Tree Frogs, a few of mine are about as nuts as your Schneider Skinks.
your dumpy bois are hilarious!
My dumpy's are really boring...they are also at least 10 years old...
My CRB is super friendly/curious/easy to handle and I would still categorize her in the C column - husbandry of rainbows is def not the easiest.
exactly!
I love seeing what other people have. I recently got a yellow spotted climbing toad over the summer, and he quickly rose to the ranks of my easiest and funniest pets. And recently, my 3 White's tree frogs started "singing" at night, and my toad joins them but he's a juvie still and squeaks like a dog's toy. It's really funny.
I just got a crested gecko last Thursday and I'm happy to see your ranking on those little guys.... They are so adorable.
Good choice!
Crested Geckos are *AWESOME* ! Despite what some people have said, they most definitely do drink from water bowls. I have four and lots of pictures and videos of them drinking out of bowls of water. In case you heard from the people that are mistaken.
@@amandastakeonit7402 I put one inside just to be save.
Green tree monitors are a solid S!
They are pretty dope eh!
Their price is an S tier.
S for Super Expensive!
I heared they are not easy animals? I know yours is great but they are not all great i heared.
@@MrNiC0S they're all individuals of course but it really seems to be a matter or dedication to working with them. Great display animals if you don't want to, but if you wanna spend the time I've met A LOT of really well socialized tree monitors.
This is so cool! You should do another tier list but with your pets specifically (e.g. diamond, ducky, Irwin, etc)
You've single handedly helped me become a better keeper just off of the care guides alone. Thank you for that, I'm super excited to go to repticon this weekend for the first time and know something about the amazing animals I may come across.
You should do a tier list of the animals that are commonly sold at big-box pet stores like Petco, PetSmart, etc. (I know well all hate these stores, but these are where people are oftentimes buying animals, and they generally push animals that aren't behinner friendly)
great idea!
That is so weird, in my case, the Uromastyx would have been right up there with the Bearded Dragon, I had a few and they were just as docile and handleable as the beardies, just had to keep them hot was all. Also, could not agree more on most of your list, specially the beardie and dumpy frog. :)
Another very informative and entertaining video, thanks as always. :)
The care guides are my favorite videos of yours! Hopefully more people catch on. Keep up the good work, cheers!
Much appreciated!
Thank you so much! This has helped me to decide which new pet I am going to get soon. I love your videos!
I'm so glad!
Loved the vid! Always look forward to you posting:) much love and many blessings
Thank you so much!
No man I really liked this video! And the care videos are what I watch the most keep it up bro!!!
I really enjoyed this video. It was something different and it seemed like you may have been pushing out of your comfort zone which is awesome to see. ❤️ btw No-Shave-November is lookin good on ya so far, keep it up 😉👍☺️
I have a kingsnake named Zeke and I love him, but he is an IDIOT. The other day, he missed the mouse in front of his face and attacked one of his plants instead. I don't get to see yours in a lot of videos, but thanks for showing him today, and I wasn't expecting a rating as high as a B, but as a kingsnake lover, I'll happily take it. Thanks, man!
amazing!
They have that high prey drive with an itty bitty brain
At first I read it as kindergartners and I was so confused lmao 😂
I really liked this one! The tier list format made comparing and contrasting very easy.
Awesome, thank you!
I love this video. And really all your videos! Keep up the good work!
I do like that you're transparent about how ornery some of your animals are, I feel like some people on youtube are like "every single one of my animals are so nice!!!" and that may be true for them but is not the experience of everyone
I for one love the care guide videos. Keep it up
I really liked this video actually. It was cool to see a really quick overview on all of these guys. It put a few more reptiles onto my wish list, for that I don't thank you lol.
Diamond for Prez 2024. This was probably the best video I’ve seen. I mean it’s a dumb concept. But to just hear someone talk about 33 species and just be blunt is awesome.
Diamond is already Prez, the world isn't real mannn
I have a tegu and his name is Roody. He is such sweetheart and super smart I hope yours ends up the same way. That way she will be an S tier 😂
haha nice!
I couldn't think of a better reptile than a tegu honestly, I've had several reptiles since I turned 18. Years of experience..and now i'm 36 *sigh* and couldnt be more happier with my red boy
I like this video! It's great for comparing different species. You could do tier lists with specific categories of herps too (one for colubrids, one for geckos, etc.)
As always: I absolutely adore your honesty.
ohhh thank you!
Thanks! I loved how you viewed your own animals.
Very interesting!
I really enjoyed this! If you decide to do something like this again, I’d suggest ranking the best looking animals!
good call!
I have loved every single one of your videos, they're great. ❤
I love your videos You give so much information
I love your Chanel and I love these types of videos. I am shocked you have corns at C, but I must admit I can see your point. Great video, keep it up!
Thanks for watching!
Good thing about a video is that it keeps on giving long after it is produced. Enjoyed it.
Very interesting! Are you going to show us more about your Chinese Cave Geckos? Since your first video about them, I'm obsessed and seriously considering keeping them - after longer research, since I never kept reptiles in my life.
I literally came to this video after watching a care video 😂😂 I hope they start getting more attention lol I love care guides
I loved it! Great change of pace... You seemed over it towards the end. ADD much?
the DHD is so real bro! Bro-et?
I love the care guides. I even watch them for animals i never intend to own
I’m super hype for the King Snake care guide
I did like this list. Thank you Adam!
Fun list buds, can’t wait to live vicariously through you guys when you go to Costa Rica 🇨🇷!! Eeeeeee!!!!
Axlotl got shafted! They look so interesting, even sitting(?) still, they're just unique.
I have 10 .. they are really odd animals but very Fascinating ..
Love all your videos! Could you possibly do an updated corn snake care guide?
Great list and I actually enjoyed hearing your opinions on care, temperament and overall experience. We are experiencing the hunger strike situation that makes ball pythons so fun 🙄 habit checks out as far as humidity/heat and hides, he’s just kind of new to our home and wants live lunch like at his previous home but we really want to get him switched over to f/t for obvious reasons. The spotted pythons sound amazing 🤩 not sure if you’ve done a care guide for them yet but yeah, great list and hope you do another. Would love to see if anything changes position on the list.
It was interesting to hear an overall about all your pets.
I really enjoyed this ranking video. I think it's the most "practical" ranking list I've seen. You simply explain why you they ranked them against each other the way you did and in a way that people can really understand and use ("He bites. He just sits. She's cranky. They're easy to care for..."). Most lists are either too generic or mash too much together to result in a useless final score. (ie - cost or availability is interesting, but in the end, does not really matter all that much and artificially affects their over all score or rank to something that doesn't in the end tell me the basics). In the end, we want to know: do you enjoy the animal and why or why not? (And in THAT light, care, friendliness, activity level, etc. means something. )
This list did it perfectly!
I did like that style of video because it gave me a couple of examples of things to research more to see if maybe I would want to get one...but I promise to research the heck out of it first....lol
Excellent video as always, Adam! Was bummed to see you gave Milksnakes a C but I understand these rating are based on your experience with your pets. Plus you have much more experience than me! My only reptile is a Honduran Milksnake and he has been a joy since day 1!
Your rating of an S for the Schneider skinks REALLY caught my attention. I know nothing about them but I’ve been looking for a lizard, and have been eyeing blue tongues for a while, but the much smaller size of the Schneider skink is attractive as I assume they will need much less space than a BT!
I look forward to your videos every week, thanks again man!
Loved the video! 👍
So glad!
Yes can’t wait for that king snake care guide.
coming soon!
great video! thank you
Definitely cannot thank you enough for making me aware of the schneider skinks I now have 3 and everytime I open their enclosure they climb up my arm to the top of my head and they are so tickly when they reach my neck!!
I agree with everything except for the corn snake. Enjoyed the video, thanks!
Different from your usual, but thought was for sure light and fun!
Glad you enjoyed it!
i can’t get snakes (or most of these animals really) due to where i live but i do have a blue tongue and he’s really awesome, he does have a big enclosure but he’s so low maintenance, i definitely agree with your ranking. And my bestie in california has a king snake who bites every time she’s handled (lol) but she’s pretty cool, i love her, we call her the alaskan bull worm. but my friend would definitely have her lower on the tier list 😂 then she also has a cresty who is also s tier, and a leopard gecko who’s very shy so probably b tier, and a ball python named honey who’s easily a tier. Cool video, Adam!
Congrats on 160K subs 🎇 👏 👍
Thank you so much 😀
Diamond is so adorable lol! Loved seeing all the animals!
Thank you! 😊
Sucks that your care guides haven’t been doing as well. That’s the most important ones for new people and even ppl that may not know something you say and it could really help ppl.
Great to see the spotted python at the top! I'm looking at getting something from the anteresia genus - a care guide on these please!
I love your channel!
You are so kind
Just a side note, if you are thinking about getting one of the giant snakes Burmese are good first giant snake! The majority of them are just so incredibly chill and easy to handle.
mine sure is!
Great video! I'd love to see some more content like this
Thanks for the tips!
I love that snake discovery is a patreon supporter that’s awesome
Hi, I got to know you after watching clints repites and i have followed and responded you for a long time. I've even watched more of you lately you are coming out with more videos than Clint. I really like you and what you have put online. I don't agree with what you have said and where you put the common boa, I've kept them for years to me the size and there beauty makes them top of the list. To me any snake that gets bigger is still at the end of the day still a reason for worry know matter how much i love them. At the end of the day they still have a wild side. It's better to be safe than sorry. Like I said I'm now a big fan of you and love what you do x
I like the fact that you said best to not best instead of worst
none of them are worst, I love em all!
@@WickensWickedReptiles oh idk if u remember but I said I wish I could get a reptile but my parents wont let me, but I might get one for christmas specifically a crested gecko
Loved the video!!!! and, since I only have a leopard gecko, than i guess that is my favorite one to take care of!! Lol
Good choice!
I loved the video!
Great video. We have a crested gecko baby and he's doing really well. The cutest little thing ever.
That is awesome!
I love your videos and your reptiles
Great video
Thanks!
At first that list confused me lol. I thought green (good) red (bad) green>red🤣. Great vid again Adam!
hahah thanks
Great idea with the chart :-)
Thanks!
I agree that you should do it with your personal pet collection. Like diamond, Irwin, little foot!
for sure
Awesome list. Can you point me to a good setup for a dumerils boa?
Also I'm torn between a dumeril's boa and a bredli python currently.
Can I have your thoughts on the two?
Sudan plated lizards are VERY “tameable” but the problem is nearly nobody has time to tame them, mine took a year to trust my picking her up many have told it has taken them up to 2 years to build trust but when you have their trust they completely change their personality it’s very unique
cool!
Poor Uromastyx! Great video!🐍
i like every second of this video
I actually really liked this video!
thanks so much!
With aquatic animals, a lot can be solved by just doing water changes. A lot of the equipment and technology out there is to just help put off water changes. Once the filter media is cycled, just do your water changes, and you're fine.
Love it!
Kinda breaks my heart that at 15 minutes hearin' things like "thanks for sticking with me; we're almost done". Man, I love that longform stuff.
On which note, if you could ever find yourself doing longer essays on reptiles and raising them, maybe putting that stuff on a separate channel, I'd certainly be here for it.
Dumpy frog care vid soon, I hope; getting mine in three weeks!
Phew, was getting a little nervous there. Been way too long since you posted;-; I missed you ❤️
hahaha, every monday and thursday
Thank you and I liked the video.
thanks so much
My corn snake is really active for the he first few mins out of the tank then just chills out and sits draped on my shoulders or loose around my neck. I'm the 3rd owner and he is somewhere in the 15-17 year range now, but was still really chill when I got him 10 years ago. Never had him as a baby so maybe that's why
Loved this video! I don’t understand why the care guides don’t do well. 🤨
I have a ball python and a California kingsnake, and I prefer my kingsnake for the exact opposite opinion mentioned in the video. I like that I rarely have to worry if she will eat, and she's curious. She's my little explorer. She gets into everything wanting to know what everything is, and I find that more interesting than my ball python. He's so chill. He gets "outside cage time" and I never have to find him because he will be in one of two spots and doesn't move, or explore. He's "boring", but I still love him.
Super cool video! Great job!
I only have 1 snake and it’s a corn snake but she is not the best ahah.
I would love to get a ball Python and a milk snake.
nice!
I love my ball python, so far self managed, since we got him he struck at me a few times before shedding, but right after now fully social to the point of coming out of tub to your hand. I haven't yet had to deal with feeding issues as he eats 2 times a week. BUT I bought a baby corn snake who a week later in trying to handle it bit me and squirmed out of my fingers and is now roaming my Basement. Too tiny to find as of yet. I give this snake a F on cost, and handling. Paid 90 for corn snake, and 70 for ball python.
Oh no! I hope you find it/it's ok. I bought a baby corn and I heard they're really flighty especially while young and they need a lot of handling training. I guess they're hit or miss. Mine's a little over a year old now and doing great and hasn't struck at me.
I put the cornsnake on the A, maybe S too (mine is a super chill one, never bite while he was on shading state neither) and dartfrogs... I put them on the B or C rank for the diet and the high huminity needs. Cornsnakes has easy avalable diet and not really huminity needs, and you could handle them too (I mean frogs are anfibians so you can' t handle them)... But of course it's your list. :) :)
More tier lists pls!!!!!
Would you ever show us your burmese enclosure? I'd love to get inspiration for my 8 foot pvc and I'm sure it would help others too!
As much as i love my CRB i'd probably agree with the C rating. Mine's fine with handling as long as he's not in shed but the care requirements are way different than anything else i own. I live in the desert so keeping humidity up was a challenge at first and maintaining it is definitely more involved than any other snake I own.
I love that vid. When the update one PLEASE ♡♡♡♡
Soooon!
Ive been out of the hobby for over a decade, but my uromastyx were really some of my favorite reptiles. Mine were personable, handle-able, and just all around some of the best terrestrial lizards I have owned. Better than my bearded dragons. I lived in Houston when I owned them and never had an issue with too much humidity.
there was a point where i didn't agree with you on rainbow boa requirements since im a huge BRB enthusiast, these things seemed easy enough to me. Now that they're becoming popular because of their appearance, i see people screwing up the most simple of requirements with them. So easy to me, but i guess it doesn't click for some people.
bingo!
Very good shout I have got to agree with u
All that corn snake head. 😂 Great video!🙏
hahah right!
When making the tear lest, not the animal in general but like in your collection pacifically, rate your favorite pet and lest favorite pet, by how much your attached to them. Like diamond would be at the top because she is always with you.
