- Join us as we get a rare behind-the-scenes tour of the Zilla Headquarters to see how some of the more recognizable reptile enclosures are made! We also get a first time look at the Zilla Lab with some of the rarest reptiles in captivity!
Great job on the video! It's nice to see that Zilla is putting that effort into making sure they're selling a good product. As a reptile retail store owner myself it makes me feel good about carrying their products.
Never thought I lived less than 20 minutes from this place!!!
Wow I am about to graduate with my nursing degree and cant wait to get back into herping once finances are stable because of this video and seeing the # Americans (includes workers in american who are not american) that this company employs and the craftsmanship that it teaches its employees I will be buying Zilla products whenever possible.
I know this video is old but I’m really glad I came across it, I’m new to the reptile world and expected every major brand to be made in the same factory overseas- couldn’t have been more wrong and happy for it. This obviously had to be simplified for time/viewership but it’s amazing they do so much in house
Great video and tour of the Zilla facility! I'm glad there are more companies in the industry that are dedicated to the care and husbandry of herps. About 75% of herps that visit the vet do so because of incorrect or poor husbandry!
+tactical veterinarian Couldn't agree more!
Thank you and Zilla for the tour. The only product I can think of would be a bedding that comes in a roll. Something easy to cut and change out for snake enclosures. Thanks

7:08 very cool! Tragedy about Borneo. Thanks for taking us along on the tour.
+smetlogik Thank you! Yes, please help spread the word to NEVER buy palm oil or products that contain it.
+HerpersTV - I hear you brother, doing my small part on the palm oil/products.
Great video! I would like to see Zilla make lower-height, plastic cages for snakes specifically, with a round screened cutout for dome reflector light/heat. Material can be HDPE or HPPS or ?? Would be awesome. Glass cages do not hold heat well in a cool room, and full screen tops lose heat and humidity for tropical species. While I know to cover much of the screen top, many beginners do not.
Crazy how Zilla had pink tongue skinks 8 yrs ago but they are still so hard to find
I loved this video it felt like the how it's made tv show on the history channel.
But better, right? :)
Awesome video! You should do Ship Your Reptiles/The Reptile Report next.
+Mid-South Morphs Great suggestion!
+HerpersTV I second that!!!
yoooo zilla is really about it
I love zilla tanks! ! All mine r Zilla, so cool! Wish I could work there! Lol
Great Video!!
+MichaelsCreativeCreations Thank you!
great video, awesome company
+granddaddyHerps Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the episode!
Hope you breed a lot of earless monitors!
They look like dragons
7:59 They're like baby Godzillas.
Exactly what I was thinking! Herper's would go nuts over them if they ever establish a captive breeding population.
You should do an episode interviewing some of the big name retic breeders like Jay Brewer, Bob Clark or Kevin McCurley. I could probably get you in touch with Gavin Bowe too and being in WI he's not to far from you.
+Richie B Bob Clark and Kevin McCurley can be both be seen in Herpers II
I am a real big fan of zilla because they are a really good brand and in my mom's chameleon cage there was a place so a fogger can connect
That's awesome!
You should make a aquatic turtle kit I would definitely use it
They do. Check out their catalog at www.zillarules.com
i always thought that these tanks are machine assembled, didnt know that even exo terra's stuff is man assembled
The Tessera corn @ 3:57 was produced by me
Nice!
Great vid. I wish they would make PVC arboreal caging in all different sizes for animals that require high humidity such as GTP's and ETB's. The Exo terra and zoo med models with all glass around and a screen top do not hold humidity like a PVC cage would. I think they would make good $$$ and they already have the plastic molding machine to do it. Just my two sense, coming from someone who keeps these animals and doesn't want to stuff them into a rack system.
Cents*** lol
What is the Scientific name of the lizards?
awesome video, I would love to work for Zilla
Thank you! They seem like an awesome company to work for!
Surprised they are using mice as a standard nutritional source for pink tongues. Pink tongues eat and prefer snails in the wild.
i wish zilla ships to asia some of the products are good
are earless monitors illegal to keep in the u.s.a
Currently the laws surrounding them are a little vague and ought to be looked at more closely, but other than for research purposes any earless monitor taken out of its habitat was removed illegally. But right now there aren't enough laws in place to protect them everywhere.
TheCoondog14 yups i come from borneo overhere it is even more hopeless it is a good thing and a bad thing if the species got popular as a pet , the good thing is they become save from extinction but the bad thing is once it fetch a good price poachers from all over will try and capture it and smugled .
even the laws in the us is so vague law on wildlife here in malaysia is more useless to protect these guys
they need to make cheaper plastic cages
We love Herpers Tv at skylilysnaturetv! We are huge fans of you! Awesome video!! We love Ryan and Zilla! Check us out they just sponsored us! 💞🐍🐉🐊🐢🐞🕷💜💖🌟
Thanks guys! I just subscribed to your channel! Keep up the good work!
Hides for aboral geckos that would be great.
How can I get free things??
I was shocked by the condition of those animals... The Pilbara Rock Monitors were incredibly skinny and looked nearly emaciated.. The Bearded Dragon was incredibly obese. Why do Americans not seem to be able to care for their reptiles??
No sand or desert blend (plz don't kill any more reptiles)
It's literally what they live on in the wild...
"We're looking at techniques to heat and light small enclosures without overheating them".
Errrr thats easy and been accomplished for years, its called a thermostat. Not to stereotype all North American keepers, but why do very few of you actually use thermostats to properly regulate your enclosures. It's standard practise here in Europe but maybe we're just perfectionists.
