Port of call best cage flick imo and its a hurtzog film

[@surfinshinji6845]

I remember hearing that Sylvester Stallone kept the red-eared sliders, Cuff and Link, from the original Rocky movie as pets. Did a quick Google search and found out that was false, they are still owned by the pet shop owner that originally lent them although Sly did reunite with them very recently for a photo op. Regardless I still think it's cool that animals from an older movie are still alive and well. In 1976 they were just teeny babies, now they're in their late 40's and are HUGE!

[@moemed99]

Wow I heard that too!

[@SoliRhymesWithJulie]

The photo of Slash with Betty White made my week.

[@GarysTandAExotics]

Love the pic of slash and my love Betty. I named my tegu after her. They share the same birthday and Betty( human) loved all animals. She view acting as a side gig that helped her spread awareness and funded multiple conservation efforts. Plus she was Americas sassy Gramma. 😂 mouth like a sailor

[@mrturveydrop]

About 20 years ago I was looking at a Victorian house for sale in San Francisco. Turns out it was one of Nicholas Cage's homes, and he was selling it. The entire house was remodeled inside in a wild, fantasy style, including a huge fireplace mantel made from copper and shaped to look like a dragon's head with the mouth positioned where the fire was lit. Upstairs at the top of the staircase was a gigantic cage built for (if I remember correctly) his monitor lizards that he kept. The enclosure was enormous, and basically ran the length of the hallway so you had to walk past them in order to reach any of the bedrooms. Other things as well, but those two things stood out. As soon as I saw your teaser line for this video, I thought of him, and he was your number 1!

[@nicolaxoxo1]

Wow how much was the house selling for?

[@mrturveydrop]

@@nicolaxoxo1 I don't remember - it was almost 20 years ago. I'm pretty sure it's been bought and sold at least once more since then, and most of the Cage "touches" are gone, unfortunately

[@AJGozun]

I used to work at the Wildlife Discovery Center in IL and actually had Nicholas Cage donate his 20 year old Asian Water Monitor to the curator!! His name was Grug and as much as it sucks that the Wildlife Discovery Center closed down the curator that founded it still owns Grug!! He was the sweetest monitor I have ever worked with, fed and cared for!

[@MisoTurtle10]

Nick cage having reptiles is the most unexpected thing since me passing language arts

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

YOU PASSED?

[@bettyadamsoveranalyzes]

Okay, was anyone else profoundly dissapointed that this was not a video detailing how to properly feed, house, and care for celebrities?

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Hahahahaha

[@ixeliema]

Ya know I generally don't care tonlearn about what celebrity does what (they're just people after all) but I think this video is important. It's important to help normalize our passion, a passion considered weird by so many people. While I don't look to very many celebrities with admiration, a ton of people do do that, and seeing these people with reptiles may help spread positive word and normalize our wonderful hobby. Can't hate a topic that kills harmful stigmas ❤

If some one hates on me for liking snakes I will ✨light you house on fire✨

John Quincy Adams and Herbert Hoover's son had alligators. Theodore Roosevelt had a badger, lion, hyena, wildcat, coyote, bear and zebra.

[@TheBwing]

I believe Roosevelt had a boa as well

[@HENRYANESDRUMS777]

This is actually an awesome video, speaking of SLASH a few months ago I sold a bcc to his old reptile keeper, he let me know that during the 90s they had an animal planet special about celebs with animals….. the guy is still a reptile keeper in Mexico(Tijuana) and has some pretty crazy boa morphs

[@morgancampbell7115]

Dave being Slash from Wish is the funniest thing I've heard in a long time...

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

accurate!

[@jorgedm15]

Nicolas cage lived here in las vegas for a while. When he would go film stuff, he would leave his collection at a small reptile shop here. I would go there often and got to handle a few of his animals. Eventually he moved away and most likely gave his reptiles to the shop. A few people I knew within the reptile community ended up owning his collection

[@saralou123]

SLAYERRRRERR!!!!!! 🤘🏻 I’ve been fortunate to see both Slayer and Velvet Revolver in concert. ❤

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

That’s awesome!

[@tipping_scales]

Ok, this video spoke to me in all the ways, as a guitarist, reptile guy, someone who had reptiles magazine as a kid in the 90s, growing up with Krat's creatures, and even down to your ad because I literally had a Fum cart put together earlier this week and was like, "ah I'll just wait for now." So this ticked all the boxes, get out my head

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

heyyyyy that's awesome!

[@tarzangief]

I was hoping to see William Regal on this list (Legendary Former Professional Wrestler and Now Coach and Backstage Administrator for WWE). He lives in Orlando and keeps Red Tegus as well as some snakes and a tortoise and has spoken out against numerous laws Florida has tried to pass concerning reptile keeping

[@grumpygamer235]

I know he’s pared down how many he had in recent years but yeah, was hoping he would make the list too.

[@YFwestwood]

Wow didn’t know William regal Kept Tegus that’s cool af.I was gonna say he should of added Current AEW tbs woman’s champion Kris Statlander has 2 beardies and has posted them a few times also talked about it on busted open radio.But thanks for the fact with Regal

Robin Williams, god bless him, was also a celebrity I sold reptiles to.

[@jackcattera5110]

Met him at a few cycling races:)

[@Hepler-s2b]

I think for most kids who grew up in the 90s slash was the most well-known, cuz even at the height of him touring with guns and roses, he was very vocal about having pet reptiles

[@undefined6251]

Matthew Lawrence(Jack Hunter on Boy Meets World) has a collection of lizards.

Reptile Magazine first came out in 1994 iirc. I remember reading it as a kid and dreaming of all the snakes, and now I'm living the dream

Alice Cooper did have pythons back in the day he would use on his tours.

[@kellybraun7048]

Kratts Creatures! One of my three favorite tv shows as a kid! (Magic School Bus and Bill Nye are the other two, ofc.) I hated Zooboomafoo, it was aimed at a much younger audience… and I watched the 3 above shows before I could read (4? 5?), so at around 8, I was soooo upset. 😂 I’m told their even later animated series Wild Kratts was decent. Legends alongside Steve Irwin for 90s (and maybe 00s) kids. But we recorded quite a few episodes on VHS to watch endless reruns when we were sick, so I still have copies. Gotta digitize them and see how much our knowledge of animals has changed. 😆 Fun fact: in 2017, a newly discovered mantis was named after the Kratt brothers. Thank you, Wikipedia.

[@captainmorgs4672]

well I wasn't looking for a reason to feel old but you mentioning Kratt's Kreatures makes me feel it

[@Richexperience1]

Slash toured with his snakes on a solo tour - “Slash’s Snake Pit” I think was the name.

[@MrSanemon]

I love how their talking points must explicitly say to mention "habit" because I'm assuming it's never been studied and they don't want to get in trouble by having you explicitly say "smoking"

You forgot the OG Alice Cooper! Their first snake was a pet of the drummer but after touring with that snake and several others afterwards he caved and got a few himself, and he lets them free roam his house sometimes and has keepers watch them when not in use while he's on tour. He said he likes to watch football with them on the couch

Video was great as usual, my 7 year old and 4 year old love watching new ones with me when they come out. It was an interesting conversation to have with my 7 year old, however, when you did the vape advertisement. She asked if she could have a flavored stick like Adam. I guess it was an opportunity for a conversation, but I don't like that someone she looks up to is making it look cool. Anyways, food for thought, keep up the great content!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Ok buts not a vape at All, it’s meant to be a healthy alternative to a vape. No smoke, no vapour, literally flavoured air. Imagine balling up a mint leaf in your fist and breathing through your fist. It’s that basically. At the end of the day, if I can convince someone to suck on flavoured natural air rather than smoke or vape, I’ll gladly take that opportunity. Thanks to you and your family for watching! :)
