Reptile Room Tour May 2016 (Part 2) | Over a DOZEN New Animals!

[@tarrenwade84]

This is my favorite pet keeper channel

[@lexxlovely2811]

I love you already. Unlike most reptile owners, you make sure your animals have a great quality of life by giving them large, naturalistic tanks. You're also very informative and seem like an overall cool person. I wish I had people like you were I live XD

[@crimsonghost4107]

I love how your terrariums imitate natural ecosystems. I want to be a person who works with herps when I graduate college and I hope to keep my animals in environments similar to these.

[@g2k346]

All of this for your pets but 1 pillow and a twin sized bed for you 😬

[@nesekaba]

Rats are amazing pets! Your little girl needs a friend though. They need to be kept with others

[@devinhunter7368]

nesekaba us g6

[@rangerdanger6894]

Love your collection of animals. I like the variety.

[@uncrumbledcooke623]

i like your rep room,one of the more organised rooms ive seen, i like that you have actual tanks for most of your pets, not take out dishes lol. good video! i Subbed!

[@samstefani4877]

Love your collection 😍 I'd love a similar selection! I've subscribed so looking forward to watching more from you!

[@jakefrommaryland7876]

Yo fam, the millipedes, keep them on a mix of organic potting soil, decaying oak leaves and white rot oak, it helps them grow faster and larger. Also keep them humid.

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

Thx fam

[@Beto71333]

All those animals in one room?? Ah dude you're so lucky! It's probably sucks not being able to bring your girl over to get to business lolol Btw, watching this while stoned is fucking amazing lol

[@Austinchoate100]

right bro

HAHAHA

[@jokeyy1116]

HAHAHAHA

[@Dancewiththedevill69]

im glad you have the pleco in a big tank they can get huge. you're very knowledgeable its nice :)

[@maddelinecowan6600]

your room is amazing and loving that the scorpions name is cuddles

[@cassalamon]

HOLEY CRAP DUDE!!! you are really good at making naturalistic terrariums!!! (i love them!)

[@centrarchid]

Great video, both this and the herp one too. A very organized, clean, and well maintained collection. I noticed your Tyrannosaurus skeleton too, I have the same one on my book shelf! I must point out to you though that I believe your skull is an actual domestic cat skull and not a ringtail skull. A ringtail would have a longer snout. Great content you're producing, keep it up!

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

Thanks, I appreciate it! I see what you mean about the skull - think you're right. Good to know for future reference.

[@caydendunston7250]

+AfroHerpkeeper I want a small snake that will stay small what do you think I should get?

[@rachelhoyt4142]

you should get a hamster

[@Fish1027fished]

Cayden Dunston a corn snake, and a ball python 0nly reach 5 feet max, but something a little harder but smaller is a hog nose and garter

[@dreameyes74]

nice collection...you look after your reptiles very well...nice to see...keep up the videos love them!!!

[@madisonkaylin6146]

The skull is a domestic cat skull. I volunteer at an animal shelter that I did co-op at which was through my school and part of a project was to put a cat skull back together after cleaning it. It was pretty cool it was upsetting because it was an abuse Case which is why it was in pieces but it was really fun to learn about and actually do !

[@mindy6293]

rats makes the best pets! I love them

[@lavahx2202]

Rats make good food for snakes too 😀

[@jackmiller9300]

they make great snake food too

[@marsidnicholson2031]

+Lava Hεx lol

[@ghettogarry8700]

Mindy W Whiteley

[@lagamingftw8316]

Good video your the best person I've seen look after reptiles properly 😀

[@redfielddbd]

Damn you must feel safe at night with all those lights and white noise. I wouldn't need a tv in that room it would be a real live discovery channel in my bedroom

[@slim4400]

I think you should get a mantis shrimp or freshwater fire eel for that collection if you have room/money for either (the mantis being the more expensive but more fun in my opinion). Like the videos though man, awesome setups

[@Jillybean711]

Cuddles the Scorpion xD I like it.

[@LisaSmithtm]

Lovely enclosures! :) I would love to see videos from you on taxidermy/preservation!:)

[@ranielcyrusechon1159]

Great video man! Keep it up!

[@susanarellano3212]

Love your reptile room

[@wrxsti001]

Very nice!congrats mate :)

[@lexisclark2568]

If those are Kaytee rat pellets, you need to get her off of them ASAP and onto oxbow. Kaytee lab blocks are full of preservatives and all sorts of nasty things. I would switch her to oxbow (either young rat or adult depending on how old she is)

[@deangeribo175]

the Bichir will get 18 inches in a good size tank. it will also grow, I'm sure you are noticing, fairly fast. If the Bichir does not the proper tank size(55+ gallons) in will suffer and live about a third of his life.

[@exoticfantasyy4896]

all u missing is a chameleon

[@tarantulagirl9977]

Great collection😊

[@reza3624]

Extremely funny how you keep a madagascar cockroach and Iam sitting here trying to buy some anti insects spray because they are extremely irritating :)

[@luisc8525]

you make cool reptile vids bro👌

[@brandonc.7108]

Can you please give me a list of pets that can live in a 2.5 gallon aquarium

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

Lots of small animals can fit in a space that small, but an aquatic habitat is going to be harder to maintain, simply because there's just not enough water to properly cycle the tank. That said, shrimp, snails, and guppies do fine in a 2.5 gallon tank. If you're looking for something terrestrial, you could try invertebrates such as tarantulas, scorpions, or smaller insects, or a small amphibian or lizard. I've kept tree frogs, scorpions, roaches, day geckos, banded geckos, and other terrestrial lizards in tanks that size before.

[@kylest1234]

Brandon C. N

[@sarahferguson5791]

a tarantula or scorpion with deep substrate would be fine in that

[@rubenjavarandomvideos7418]

can you lose a sling tarantula on a 2.5 gallon tank ? .-.

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

Slings are typically housed in cups because they're small, burrow-sized containers that make feeding easy and allow you to keep tabs on them at all times. I personally wouldn't recommend housing a juvie T in anything larger than a measuring cup

[@BrickHeadReptiles]

awesome video bro

[@craftedbychris1721]

Plz make a vid on the animals u think would make good starter pets from all the ones u own

[@mustaqeemroslan9253]

nice video dude ! your video really inspires me to be a collector too. i have a question, i really interested of having some pet turtles, but i like the small species. where can i bought tht kind of turtles ?

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

If you live in the US, try the classifieds at kingsnake.com

[@pedroparente9450]

WOAH, really nice room you got there!! What reptile/amphibian do you think a beginner should start off?

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

Plenty of species to choose from! Anything you feel comfortable with works, but I'd start with an animal commonly bred in captivity. Any specific type of animal in mind?

[@pedroparente9450]

Well, in my country(Portugal) the range of possibilitys is kinda low, being that under 70dollars the only thing avaible are mostly bearded dragons, corn snakes and some geckos(more inclined to the geckos) : Gonatodes ocellatus; steno stenodactylus; Gecko marmoratus; Ebenavia inungusis ; Gecko vittatus. Do you personally know any of these geckos? ( Thank you for your fast anwser, for now i will be reading about the species for at least a couple or more months, just so i can be fully prepared if i decide to own one)

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

Oh wow, I had to look most of those up. G. ocellatus and E. inungusis are seriously beautiful. That said, I think you'd have the least trouble with G. vittatus - I've seen them offered before and they seem easy to work with.

[@jadenschild1727]

Thank you

[@biskoi2428]

love ur vids keep it up

[@scaredyjack3821]

Nice..love your video.

[@laenabodovsky3476]

I have two Coastal Plain Toads, in a ten gallon, but they are about half the size of yours lol

[@Christopherjamesmurphy21]

disheveled good word bro .

[@theoryg]

My folks would complain about the electricity usage.

[@leslysalazar6209]

you should get the lil rat a friend :0 they ate quite social animals !

[@LisaSmith-ke4ko]

All your missing is a chameleon,a Chinese water dragon and A leapord gecko.

[@lexie.9709]

Damn how do u keep up with all of them

[@tbg9233]

How do you you sleep?😂😂😂😂

[@devinhunter7368]

TBG 8

[@craftedbychris1721]

That's how I feed my eel

[@nicholascestone7484]

That's not a ringtail cat skull. That is a domestic house cat skull

[@chaozgaminginc2030]

Thats amazing ur so lucky a brave i would never touch half those animals lol

[@shadow3648]

love it

[@LeeMusicTW]

Hey Daniel , my leopard gecko's tail got ripped off by my parrot recently , what should I do ? Thanks (p.s. I know that you aren't a vet)

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

If the flesh is still exposed, keep it clean and keep the leo in a sanitary environment until the wound closes up. Feed it lots of protein and calcium-rich foods to encourage proper growth. Thankfully, leos are built to lose their tails and it shouldn't be a problem in the long run, just be sure to keep the parrot away in the future.

[@Rachel-ez2gs]

My rat does the same thing 😑 some how pulled my bag half way in her cage and she chewed away lol

[@shanesmith7770]

hey what are the dimensions of your big metal rack ?

[@voze4268]

How do you clean all those setups

[@jadenschild1727]

Hi I was just wondering if there was a reptile/amphibian that does not need electricity and eats pellets and can live in a 10-20 gallon tank

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

Crested geckos fit that description pretty well - they do best at room temperature (65-75 degrees F), and don't need UV light. They don't take pellets but do eat a powdered food mix, so there's no need for live prey. African clawed frogs also fit the bill, but without an electric pump you'll need to clean their water somewhat more frequently.

[@joebrooks2773]

I have the same got bug poster

[@mr.quimby_is_newclyde8830]

How tall should a tank be for a crested gecko

[@fruitmakesuhigh]

Nice fossils , why not put them in a fossil machine? Maybe you can get aerodactyl

[@Ellsfarm]

XD aah the memories

[@brigecko3007]

Second that. A fossil video would be cool.

[@typobrains6820]

in Michigan there's a lake by my house u go there you'll find the biggest minors ever at least. a foot caught and mesuared

[@YoungFitLife]

Can you give me a list of reptiles that can live in a 10 gallon tank? I used to have my baby bearded dragon in it but I upgraded to a 40 gallon and now I just have an empty 10 gallon.

[@alexlrz673]

Pepe The Frog i'm interested too I just got a 10 gallon tank for free but don't know what to put in it

[@SpockBlocked]

I love putting fire belly frogs in mine. I also have had leopard geckos, tarantulas, scorpions, large insects, or Pacman frogs. A lot can potentially live in a 10 gallon tank.

[@kewhallhernandez1127]

How big is your bread dragon tanks??

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

The larger one is 70 gallons, the smaller one is 40

[@SlenderTroll]

Nice video, but I'd like to point out that the hisser you picked up is female. You can distinguish a male from a female as those "bumps" on the pronotum of males are significantly pronounced (they use them to ram into each other when sparring over females) and they have shorter abdomens as they aren't needed to house embryos like those of the females.

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

I'm aware. Considered adding a caption to correct it but decided not to. Thanks though!

[@petlifewithtravis5558]

my gecko lade eggs today I need advice how do I keep them safe

[@alvaradohome911]

Do you have any hermit crabs

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

Kept plenty in the past, but not recently

[@allenramirez7495]

Fam what kind of gecko did u preserve

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

Two adult Texas banded geckos

[@keysilver7744]

Rats are too social to be kept alone. You should get her a buddy from a rescue (just make sure it's another girl, unless you want a shit ton of baby rats).

[@desodell7122]

You must have a very well paying job to feed, house and care for all the animals at 14 years old. Good on you! Not many children have time for all that babysitting.

[@brendensullivan5779]

It's simple raise your own food or have rich parents

[@marsidnicholson2031]

he youtubes

[@WeHateDarius]

He said in a video he also goes on like reptile tours

[@misscasualty]

As others stated please get your rat a friend they are highly social and she could develop depression. It's considered cruel to leave them all alone even labs have strict rules about not having solitary social species.

[@rebeccacurtis8886]

do you have any frogs if so can you show? :)

[@repulserichie9312]

showed some toads in part 1 but i dont think he has any frogs

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

In part one, I showed off an African clawed frog, a Sonoran Desert toad, and a coastal plains toad. Just got a Cuban tree frog, so I'll be making a video about him soon!

[@cheysconstrictors5583]

The first hissing roach you showed was a female, the second was a male.. It had "horns" females do get little bumps but they aren't as prominent as the males. Nice collection

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

Good eye. Noticed that in editing but didn't bother adding a caption.

[@cheysconstrictors5583]

Haha, I have a colony of about 3,000. Yours should explode soon.. As breeding is basically a by-product of good care. You'll have to start using them as feeders

[@gohant1237]

put a water fall with some rocks so they will live in the rocks

[@boomjacob9254]

In Norway we arnt aloud to have lizards, amfimpians but we can have spiders

[@unmoeglichmoeglich9635]

You should get axolotls. :D

[@kylest1234]

Can you tell me what can go into a 2.5gAlon tank

[@melanyflores8579]

his scorpions name is cuddles

[@JuanMartinez-lf9of]

How'd you get all the fossils?

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

Collected them over time. A couple were gifts, a couple I bought, and the wall-mounted ones I actually bought for $15 at a thrift store. I just recently found out about a fossil expo in Austin, so I might end up going there... Lots of really cool sites online if you're in the market! Would you watch if I made a video going over some of mine?

[@JuanMartinez-lf9of]

+AfroHerpkeeper of course I would watch it and I might start going to the thrift shop to try and find some because I honestly think they look amazing and are great for display

[@emmaandlindseybreeden8583]

I THOUGHT THERE WAS 3 FROGS😢😢😢

[@gohant1237]

and the turtles

[@chqnnel2651]

You're scorpions has a tiny tail

[@typobrains6820]

Dome think I should get a male or female beta

[@rjgamer4565]

Should anyone happen to know how much a ball python is from petco

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

Generally around $60-$80. I'd recommend buying from a local breeder, because they're much healthier and you can usually get a normal hatchling for about $25.

[@rjgamer4565]

+AfroHerpkeeper k thx

[@homocannibals309]

Please consider getting gusgus a friend! Rats are extremely social animals, and they need another rat to be with. Other than that, I really enjoyed watching your collection videos! Very excited to see your wet preservation video as well. 😊👍🏽

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

Believe me, I know. Had three ratties in the past and they couldn't stand being apart. I've considered taking in another, but she's already a senior (almost 3) and wasn't housed around any other animals until I took her in. Still thinking about it!

[@nickwhite5491]

i live in arizona 😛

[@miakoenig3391]

Why would you hold a scorpion they are venomous

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

Any animal with venom can use it, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will. So long as they don't feel threatened they won't sting.

[@sarahferguson5791]

rats are very social and need another rat to play with

[@VixinatorsVideos]

[@sndszoo4538]

you should really get GUS gus a friend rats are very social and need to be in pairs or groups if you don't get her a friend mand sure you give her a lot of extra attention

[@TheNine66600]

I love the reptile g baucoup de reptile mon pere travail dans une maison des reptile

Reptiles

[@cameroncannon7997]

coo

[@kiababoy7584]

aphonopelma(pronounced ah-foh-no-pel-ma) scientific names can be a b**** especially with the debate on the the relable of haplopelma

[@calebcalcut6781]

Get a leopard gecko

[@disgruntledherper5156]

I would highly suggest getting a pal for your rat. the get lonely

[@MsForeverChained]

Connor Moriarty Not all of them. depends on the rat. My one and only rat preferred more to be alone than with another, as I tried a couple times and ended up giving to a friend because it didn't work out. Just making sure you play with them frequently and they should be just fine.

[@sharkboyeddy1341]

Get an Axotol

[@kallmikai]

Oh my God. I watched part 1 and loved it. I watched all of part 2 loved it till you got the the hissing roaches

[@gunnerc6244]

Get a tiger salamander

[@dashspud7549]

I liked the video but PLECOS ARE NOT A TYPE OF CAT FISH!!!!!!

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

They're in the order Siluriformes, so technically they're classified as catfish.

[@myducksonquack5149]

Boo u didn't show any reptiles

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

All my reptiles and amphibians are in the first part of the video - it's split into two uploads.

[@trentonz3797]

roaches are repulsive

[@AfroHerpkeeper]

Cool 👍

[@slowazzd2165]

They make good feeders tho

[@sassyvtmom]

noticed you had no hermit crabs
