It's so true that spray bottles disappear when you need them most, and as soon as you buy a new one, the old one magically reappears. I think my parrot is hiding them from me.
And yes, smart plugs are such a life saver! My parrot has a full spectrum light that stays on for 12 hours, and it is so nice not having to worry about turning it on or off. Having it turn off automatically also reminds me that it's time to put her to bed, which is wonderful if you're as forgetful as I am.
The spray bottle growing legs and walking away is the most accurate thing I’ve heard in a very long time
Nooo they run in like 3 secs
Agreed!
True
I've bought so many and like....where did they go
It`s so painfully true.
*goes to used car dealership*
*salesman open up the trunk*
“This trunk is huge, you could probably fit 50 jars of pickles in this bad boy”
SOLD!
I slapped the table and yelled out THANK YOU!! for everyone one of those items, but one I think really should be on that list is a temperature gun thermometer. Again not expensive, only like $20 and you really don't need more than one.
Seconded, a little shocked it was left off the list. Also a digital scale, or is that a no brainer?
both of these made my "5 things to buy a reptile keeper" video from last Christmas
@@WickensWickedReptiles I have a question about the light thingy u showed us what do I plug into that so It can use it
@@gavigoldman9659 If you're talking about the smart plug, they come with a link for a smartphone app to control them and set up timers, plus they usually work with both Alexa and Google Assistant.
My dragon takes bigger poops than me.
one of you should see a doctor
@@WickensWickedReptiles 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I like the list, the only thing that I would add to that is a pair of tongs for feeding. Sometimes it's nice to "hand feed" smaller reptiles with tongs and also for holding rats when feeding snakes. Keep up the content, you're killin it!
Great tip!
To the guy asking how I got here from yersteday, The Wizard Did It Again
it's true!
Wait a minute
Whaaaat
How did u do this?
Elizabeth Edwards a wizard called Patreon
"They(spray bottles) grow legs and run away." LOL yup
THEY DO MAN haha
Happens to my feeding tongs all the time
F10 is made inert by organic material so make sure to spot clean faeces out,for deep cleaning make sure to keep the enclosure wet with f10 while it’s having the contact time :)
Thanks for sharing
Yes adam, the best way to measure a mini fridge is the amount of pickle jars. Also diamond is always hungry for ears🤣
so Mr. Fridge sales person.... how many pickles fit in this bad boy?
Love the random toad while talking about spray bottles!
You should make a "little foot in your pocket" tee for your merch =) She would be so cute peeking out.
Amazing vid, can’t wait for top five 40 gallon
Coming soon!
Well,at least when I get my first reptile,I can always look back on this video,and would be great for me,as a beginner.
Absolutely!
Yep
You seriously made me want those smart plugs. You SHOULD be sponsored!
heck yea!!!
seriously...me too and I don't even have Alexa.lol
Fun story about gloves: I got a tokay gecko from a guy who wasn’t taking good care of it. and he called me a wuss for bringing a pair of gardening gloves. He changed his tune pretty quick when he reached into the tank and the gecko attempted to rip his fingers off lol
shaming people for not wanting to get bit is so silly
The absolute best thing I ever spent money on for my reptiles, was a 2-ft long pair of feeding tongs. It makes feeding the snakes so much easier and makes me feel much safer and more confident.
yes also super helpful tool
Adam: My names Adam, this is Diamond the Dookey Machine
Diamond: Excuse me?
😤
The smart plugs are a must! I have some for my aquariums and my beardie. My work schedule is weird and so it's really nice not having to worry about turning the lights on or off at the right time and it helps it stay consistent
it's pretty great!
Best sales pitch for smart plugs I've ever seen. Getting a dragon soon for my daughter and wanting to make upkeep as simple as possible. 😊
I feel like such the “In crowd” I saw this yesterday after I signed up for your Patreon! Question? What’s the easiest way to sex a Bearded Dragon? I think Waffle is a boy? But.... he’s my first Bearded Dragon....So? And you totally have to have a jar of pickles in your mini fridge lol 😝 I have pickles, all the fruits, veggies, worms, Dragon treats and mustard in my mini fridge. LOL 😆 My fiancé tolerated a lot when I got back into reptiles but he put his foot down to worms in the main fridge HAHAHAHA 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Can’t really get mad at that one! And THANK YOU!!!! Your the reason I got back into reptiles, and it has improved my anxiety SO MUCH! Stay awesome 😎
hey hey! take a look at the vent, if you google male vs female dragon you'll see the difference. stay awesome!
There really was an ad right before number one. Come on UA-cam😭
yeah cause I would nevvvverrrrr.... ever.... I didn't do that.... ;)
@@WickensWickedReptiles Haha
The letter kenny got me, also pink socks in black slide. Nice.
hahahhaaa
I agree with the smart plugs. I love mine! And if you only have one reptile, like me, there are mini mini fridges that can hold a 6 pack of cans. And those you can buy brand new for less than $40 and they come in cute colors lol.
thanks for adding this!
Literally. The mini fridge. If you only keep a single reptile or two as I do - Ross, Marshalls and Tjmaxx often have cosmetics mini fridges for cheap af. They work well enough, too. Love it!
Digging the intro Adam. Another gem my friend. Totally agree with what you were putting down. We've got a huge bottle of 2% chlorhexidine and it works like gangbusters. Take care my friend 🇺🇸🇨🇦.
Sounds great! thanks so much!
The pickle measurement killed me🤣😭😭
measure in units that matter! Like pickles! haha
every time you get on to your beardie in all of these videos.. it doesn't come off as cutsie funny.... it actually makes me think of how you treat it when off camera.
get on to your beardie? what does that even mean?
@@WickensWickedReptiles that weird scolding jokey thing you do that is done to a child that you awkwardly do to your beardie
I love your channel, I found it a month or so ago and I love the content! Keep it up!
Welcome aboard! thanks so much
F10 hasn't really been available in the U.S. for months. The veterinary disinfectant chlorhexidine is easily available (Amazon, etc.) and is just as good.
Thank you!
Good info, thanks.
I follow Snake Discovery and i needed a canadian accurate source ! Thanks haha 😂
Welcome!
Love this channel! Great info, beautiful animals ❤️ Also, I LOVE LETTERKENNY!!!
You did a really good job in this one. I agree with your list and that plug you have with the usb is pretty cool
Hey, thanks!
Smart plugs ar by far the best investment I’ve made for my fish and reptiles. Not only do they make everything really easy to synchronize, but they also work great as an indicator for weather you have electricity while not at home.
100% agree!
Excellent, friend! Thanx!
Many thanks!
Loving the pink socks with your flip flops! Another great video!
3:29
"And then he turns himself into a pickle, funniest crap I've ever seen"
That trailer park boys reference is gold
Frig off Mr. Lahey!
Another thing to add to the F10 thing. So many people use a water/vinegar solution to clean after their reptiles. Vinegar doesn’t remove bacteria/parasites/fungus. If it did we wouldn’t have all of our cleaning products and vets would use that. Use something that is meant for removing bacteria!
I’m not talking about the bowls but everything else should be cleaned with something like F10. (That’s what I use)
OMG, when we first got a beadie, we discovered that the beardie's poop was pure concentrated evil. I can't believe that such a tiny creature made such a huge get-of-the-room-now smell.
Hahahaah so accurate
I love this channel soooo much. Keep it up 👍
Thanks, will do! thanks for watching!
You just gave me some great ideas man thanks man👌🏽!
Happy to help!
I love ur channel it’s so informational you deserve more subscribers
Thank you so much!!
Adam, One thing I always have at the top of my list is hand sanitizer... No, not for what your thinking though. I have a giant burm, 14 foot, 130 pounds, and hell on wheels... (Thankfully I haven't gotten grabbed by him yet, but not for his lack of trying!) I also have a few larger carpets and have been locked on before by them... When they don't let go, a little shot in the mouth with the sanitizer works every time... So when we work with the burm, sanitizer is at the top of the list! Love your videos and your charisma! Jeff from Wisconsin
I always keep a mini squirt bottle of mouthwash on the top of my rack for this reason :)
@@WickensWickedReptiles Awesome! I didn't realize mouthwash worked... Thanks Adam! Any chance you can do a video on the "BIG" snakes, but not the bonecrushers? I'm talking carpets! Amethystine, Olive, Coastal, Bredli, Irian Jaya... For folks who want a long snake, but not a burm or retic. Our addition is almost done. (500 sq. ft.) And I am actively looking at the first four of these to add to the collection, but am having a bear of a time finding the scrubbies and olives... Any breeders in Canada you know of? Thank you for all you and your sweetie do!!
Pickles are hereby now an official unit of measurement
Your videos are by far my favourite of any animal youtuber. I MUST know what mic and camera you use! Your lighting is FANTASTIC. Your videos are wicked.
3:22 Dude, you totally went American measuring units on us 😂
Yes, that was a good sales pitch on the smart plugs because i bought a 4 pack lol .. thx
hahha nice!
Great job thx you
"all my reptile food and pickles to"
you are now my favorite reptile youtuber
pickle gang!
Dawg my blood type is pickle brine !
welding gloves are great for teething puppies and dogs that like to play rough. the dogs realize pretty quick that gloves mean bite time which can also help teach a dog faster to not bite the rest of the time
Enjoy your videos. Love the Trailer Park Boys clip!
Great video! I think a temperature gun is a must have. I got mine for $20 and it is so much better then a thermometer.
also a useful tool
100% agree with the mini-frig!!!!
I'm not saying what you are doing is wrong, I just think there should be some clarification. There's a difference between cleaning and disinfecting. I don't know what the bottle says on the F10. Maybe it's a cleaner and disinfectant all in one...but best practice that I was taught as a vet tech is to clean your surfaces first and like you said Dawn and water will do that job fine. Then once the that's rinsed off, you can spray more lightly with the disinfectant. Also disinfectants need contact time, whatever the bottle says. Then wipe that off. Your disinfectant will last longer and you'll use fewer paper towels b/c you're not trying to pick up dirt and dry off the spray at the same time. Disinfectants work less well in the presence of dirt.
I live with a vet tech, I've been taught the basics of cleaning again and again, haha
"Why do you keep pushing inside of my head?"
Diamond: "I am your conscience."
hahha
Diamond: Lemme seduce you.
Wick: What are you doing to my ear?
Diamond: “Hey little mama lemme whisper in your ear”
he was whispering threats, he's a tough dragon
Thanks, a bunch for the informative reptile tips & the chuckles! 👍 🐍🦎🥒🥒🤣
Any time! :)
This is my new favorite video
I've been using chlorhexidine for years, a vet grade disinfectant is absolutely a must. Great video! Made me remember...gotta buy a longer snake hook lol
Glad it was helpful!
I love how you handled mentioning the gloves. I rescue and rehabilitate reptiles, and I currently have a very aggressive beardie I'm working with, and I NEED gloves to handle him because other methods just aren't working and he's very bitey and that's no bueno.
Thanks for sharing!
Mini fridge is easy to overlook but it is such a huge convenience
I will definitely adding the smart plugs to my setups.
Solid Letterkenny ref
Pitter Patter
I don't even own pets but I like to watch😂
thanks for watching!
Smart plugs are great, but I usually opt for a mechanical timer switch more often then not because my internet provider can be a mess sometimes and when my smart plugs lose connection because there’s an outage, they don’t cycle properly. Mechanical timer only has an issue when the power goes out, which is a bigger issue overall for reptiles!!
Thank you. 🥰🐍😊
You’re welcome 😊
I agree with the pump sprayer. It is also the best thing I have bought lol
For me must haves are feeding tongs, temp gun, and scales. I use all 3 on a regular basis.
all very useful
I've been misting my terrarium 2-3 times a day so I just bought a mist king. Was going to make my own system but they have a pretty good package for a decent price.
Good ideas
Glad you like them!
You got the pink undies to go with them socks. Hahaha
duh!!!
That intro cracked me up because I'm cleaning my BP's crappy tank right now and using your video as a distraction from the nastiness. (Not nearly as nasty as my boa's poops though) Haha!
hahahaha nice!
Look morty! I'm pickle Wick!
exactly
about the dollar store comments... the only Dollar Store i know of that legit has nearly everything for $1 USD, is called Dollar Tree. every other dollar store, Dollar General, Family Dollar, they have stuff like any other grocery store with a wide range of prices.
we have Dollar Tree here too, everything is $1.50
Nice
Australia man gets you every time
hahahah yea
We have the same type of dollar stores here in the states it’s called Dollar General cause most things are generally around a few dollars
interesting
Vinegar works also very good! Its sanetizing and works wonders cleaning glass as well. But you need to let everything air out after washing it
I got the smart plugs, man these things are so useful
100%
Your dog is so cute! Looks just like our dog Albie 🐶😊
Dawn dish soap works awesome 👏🏽 .
Is sunrise to sunset a setting in Google? We have smart plugs, but I haven't heard of this before.
i like watching you its super fun to watch. how did you learn to edit?
thank you! Honestly, just watching YT videos
@@WickensWickedReptiles i love watching you while i play tetris. i learn alot buy just listening to you
You can for sure tell he knows his american fans since we will literally use ANYTHING else besides the metric system. Him messuring in pickles is perfect lol.
In Australia we call dollar stores "cheap shops" and they have lots of different prices.
What type of frog is the adorable little creature who makes a cameo during the sprayer part?
Smart plugs are the best!
they really are!
Luckily I have a beer/mouse full fridge in the garage. Keeps the wife off my back lol
Clip of your better half using a snake hook for a Ball Python. Never seen that, ever. 😂
GROSS! That’s my sister.... YUCK!
Wickens Wicked Reptiles oops, sorry. No offense meant.
Robert Norris hahaha I’m only playing, but for real, that’s my sister, she’s gross, how dare you! Haha
Hi cool video I Watch all your videos 🐍🦎❤️👍🏽
thank you so much
Hi you so cool 👋🏽 and thank you
Am I the only one that heard him say $3 at the $1 store
I explain in the video near teh end
I use vinegar and water mix :)
Great tip!
Lol at procrastinating by making a video :)
But I buy the BIG jars of pickles. Probably could only fit one jar.
Diamond cracks me up
PICKLES!!
I have everyone of those except the reptile gloves. They'll be in my Amazon cart after this video is over. :-)
nice!
Smart wifi plugs are better then those other stupid timers they never seem to turn off when I had them setup the wifi ones are way better I even shut it off from family members house one time
A Diamond is so funny also do yall in Ontario have penny stores where the most expensive thing is like 2 dollars?
hahaha, shockingly no, but I'm sure they're working on it
I have use f10 b4 to clear respiratory infection in a few of my snakes...that stuff is the best
it's awesome
“I don’t need gloves” *barehands my Insularis*
I have everything but the hook and gloves. Also I dont like that pressure pump water sprayer. I've noticed that what ever they use to lube the pump it also cover out with the water.
Also a temp gun is a must.
temp gun also very useful
