Building New Enclosures Using Only Leftover Reptile Supplies (For My Kingsnake and Rat Snake)

upgrading salem and tofu's enclosures using only spare reptile supplies i had laying around :) plus a lil update on how they are health wise, behavior wise, etc :)
products i used to build the walls in their enclosures:
Gaps and Cracks by Great Stuff
Silicone All Purpose Caulk in the color brown.
Cork Rounds & Other Misc Wood, plus general reptile supplies you want to add to the bg
Coconut Fiber (to place on top of the paint before it dries)
you'll also want:
Something to cut down the rounded edges (razor blade, etc)
Disposable Brushes to apply the silicone paint with.
Gloves bc the paint and the gaps and cracks is very sticky lol
(not sponsored lol)
(you can find this stuff @ home depot or lowes or other home improvement stores)

Taylor, it’s never boring hearing to you chat. I’ve followed you for years, since maybe the seahorse days, and it’s just nice to see you and hear updates on you and the animals. Do whatever makes you happy and you’re comfortable with, there will always be people who want to hear you “ramble”! 🖤

[@amandadavidson5819]

Here for the rambles ❤

[@solanum6039]

No, it’s annoying.

[@mangamama9881]

Just gonna throw in there that, personally, I love longer videos because I reserve them for the evening to calm down. :) also thank you for posting again and I am glad to hear about the animals again 😊

[@iwashere3167]

SAME! I love watching longer videos while getting ready, it's like a podcast

[@Bethanysienna]

I agree too!! After a long day at work and just relax in bed and watch KZbin videos on computer!

[@miawl9]

Agree, also love the longer videos to put on while cooking or cleaning!

[@TheRaychenator]

for all the snake research ive done, ive never seen anyone decorate an enclosure like this. it looks so easy and so enriching! i found you recently from your "one year sober" video and i hope that your health is good, and that you're able to get that coin so you can move out. I can only imagine what a huge confidence boost that would be for you.

[@carlyfritz6182]

It's so nice to see you around YT more. I definitely missed your animal videos & your fun personality. I'm proud of you! I wish you & your critters all the happiness. 💕

[@ind_i_gox]

So proud of all your progress Taylor, never apologize for your shaky hands! You should try rephrasing "sorry" phrases into "thank you" phrases like, "Thank you for dealing with my shaky camera work, much appreciated!" How you speak to yourself frames how you see yourself, don't apologize for letting people know your boundaries & needs

[@Joseph-gq9us]

This^🙌

[@mewybee]

i’m taking this advice

[@moigjoid260]

This is the earliest I've ever gotten to ANY upload. Woah! So glad to see you again Taylor!! ❤

[@barrytf9920]

your story and how Ur overcoming this is giving me the strength to move pass everything in my life and i just wanted to say thank you

[@miawl9]

Shes an inspiration, because same! I hope youre doing well and staying strong.

[@meredithbean1414]

You probably won't ever see this, but you are the reason I took an interest in reptiles. 9 months ago I was in the process of setting up a cage for a crestie, a couple days before I was supposed to go and get the crestie I was sexually assulted and there were times where I just didn't wanna live because I felt so dirty and slutty and my crested Gecko (who I named Izzie) got me through it.

[@karmenwildheart]

We're all so proud of you love! So happy that you're better and sober! You're such a strong and beautiful woman! Never give up and keep fighting! Remember that we love you, and we're here for you ❤️

[@lieenm]

Wow I’m so happy to see you back consistently on YT. I’ve missed this talkative kind friendly passionate personality you have for your animals. I’m genuinely beaming this whole video 🥹 now I can go back to learning about all these random reptiles yay you go girl

[@amandapetersen3150]

Not me checking in on KZbin every day waiting for a Taylor video........As a long time follower I am so happy for your progress on your sobriety. You are so beautiful and kind and I just love your sense of humor,I can't wait to see updates on the rest of the critters!!

[@peacefuldingus]

I’m always excited when you upload Taylor!! And I love listening to whatever you have to say even if you feel like you’re rambling ❤ thank you for the snakey content, I have a major phobia so I try to learn as much as I can about them 🐍🖤looking forward to seeing your other animals soon!!

[@OrSh]

Happy to see you posting your animals again

[@danidevo]

My daughter and I have been watching you since 2017. All my love. 💙

[@ashleymuffincakes]

Oh how I've missed these videos from you Taylor!!! I'm so happy to see you doing well & I know you'll be able to keep going strong!

[@maia9419]

Randomly came across your channel again yesterday, Ill always have love for you Taylor. Your real fans know you're only human and nothing was your fault. So many of us have gone through similar situations with relationships. Thanks for being you! so proud girlie

[@maia9419]

Keep going!! you're badass

[@jessiesplace1003]

I will purposely look for her longer videos. I could listen to her all day

[@capric0rpse]

I have a chameleon and a frog. Love that you’re doing reptile videos again. I have a ton of animals, they keep me busy and make me happy.

[@kathrynnnnnnnnnn3954]

It’s so good to see you back. You were and still are one of my comfort channels(and I love your long videos) we all love you and are so proud of you!❤️

[@DKittyCone]

I love all your videos, short or long. I love having your videos playing and hearing to all your "rambling". All the fun and serious stuff, do what is fun for you! I have been following you for years with another account and I am here for all of it!

[@naeemahharris4736]

We love and support you T :). Very proud of your progress, you got this. It's so lovely to see you on yt again. You are the source of my happiness today

[@ushergusherussy]

Missed you and your videos Taylor! And no matter what content you put out, whether they're long or short, as long as it's what *you* want to upload I'm always happy to see you on my feed❤️❤️ I'm so glad to see you're in a better place now. We love you Taylor

[@deececi]

I remember finding you through your nala pictures on twitter YEARS ago, I loved watching your videos before your addiction, and I love watching them now. You're such a genuine vlogger. I can't sit through anyone else's videos but even though I wouldn't consider myself an animal enthusiast, I love watching yours.

[@dreamsmpwarrior3456]

Your making great progress Taylor! I'm so happy my childhood KZbinr has come back. Your recovery is doing great so far! You can do this.

[@lidocainelizz]

I could listen to you talk for hours. I enjoy your content so much regardless of what you’re talking about but obviously make videos that are as long or as short as you need them to be! Just happy to see you and your content again!

[@lordgoat7259]

Poor Nemo! My cat Goat also has bladder problems, our most recent vet visit was a 5 day stay at £1600 ($2050ish). They gave us a discount as they did the treatment wrong initially, I dread to think what the full cost would have been. He's great now thankfully, and I'm so happy to see you make content again!!

[@13thdeadworld]

your videos are some of my favorite to watch exactly bc of your rambling. i love listening to rambling, and i loooooove your edits. no need to be insecure about rambling!

[@Bellssprouts]

I’ve been watching your videos for at least 6 years now, I’m so proud and happy of how far you’ve come, you’ve felt like a big sister to me even though we’ve never met :) you always made my day better by posting about your life and your animals lives, I’m grateful you’re here Taylor 💜💜

[@phoebemallett]

I’ve always loved your videos. I love animals so much and it’s so nice to watch someone else be so passionate about them and I always find your videos really soothing and entertaining!

[@adarlingdemondemise]

Im happy with whatever content you give us :) a quick 7 minute check in or snakes being cute? Cool! Thanks for sharing! 39 minutes of explaining snake morphs? Sweet! Keeps me entertained for me whole lunch break :)

[@Suarez-p3x]

I love your long videos and short videos I feel like the long videos are more personal and the shorter ones are fun and light hearted.

[@emilyw8631]

I always watched you as a kid, you inspired me to get a crested gecko (which thankfully never happened) and as im older I realized and understood everything you have gone to and can even relate it to my family. you are so strong and we are so proud of you!!!!! love you and love your videos

[@emilyw8631]

gone thru*

[@chrisparksen5118]

i love your longer videos!! honestly i love rambling so i also love listening to someone else ramble lol so proud of you taylor

[@fishpony1211]

Simple explanation on how to setup and enclosure. It came out great. Congrats on the one year!

[@nicolegorecka2686]

[@This_Is_Just_To_Say]

Lol at Tofu being a lil cute wriggle noodle xD It was nice to see the enclosures and have a little update with the snakes and you. :)

[@Basskingdom7]

Love your snake video’s! I just purchased a MBK and initially named him Venmo, but after seeing your snake, Salem. I think that’s the perfect name for my MBK. So thanks for that! I also live in a town called Winston Salem so that fits!

[@23ongxinyi84]

No way?? I'm first?? Taylor!! I just wanna say I really love you and I've been watching you since many many years ago. Like I was 12 when I started watching your videos and now I'm turning 19 soon?? So happy to see you truly healing and getting healthier. Been loving your new uploads and looking forward to new content :)

[@mayakashisagan4025]

Happy to see you back

[@monica77aguilera]

[@elvensprout]

Salems blank stare into the camera made my whole day :)

[@mercyorbit9351]

So happy to see you. What a great video idea too

[@kendrasammons3744]

Just wanna say i love your 30 min vids the longer the better hehehehe

[@laurenross-97]

Salem’s stare in the end made him look like Toothless 🤣

[@sarahrosekhalil]

Loved the ending of this video

[@justAlittleNobody]

Listen… I will ALWAYS love the long videos but the short ones are great too. I think you should create whatever feels good to you

[@Xiexiecomp]

Omg you're back it's been ages bruh. I miss your video taylor 😭😭😭

[@jewelse1975]

Omg Salem not doing anything at the end was the best!

[@stevenessenson568]

Good to see you again. Hope you are doing well.

[@emilyy9008]

ive been keeping up with you for years, and im so happy you’re posting again, i really missed your vids ❤

[@FallonCohen]

I'm not sure how I randomly happened upon this, but I used to love Exoterra cages until I started dating a reptile breeder that builds his own glass cages. Quarter inch glass with doors that swing down and leave no gaps when closed. I recommend :)

[@sarahburrows6470]

Yeah nope .... We love the rambling and the you that is the rambling no need to alter your state or delivery you are perfect

[@PumpkinBecki]

So glad to see you 😊 Your videos can be as long or as shirt as you like, you do you xx

[@BlueBelle-711]

I enjoy your long videos. Please bring 😊more. ❤

[@snazzymaddie917]

I lost the staring contest with Salem, he bested me this time.

[@annabanna8146]

Its so good to see you boo

[@FerLyn1031]

Your corn snake inspired me to get my own corn snake, and I came across an adoption from a pet store who nobody wanted to feed there because she was so mean.. (she was a baby) so I gladly took her and she shed 4 times already and still rattles her tail and strikes me constantly but once I have her in my hands she stops biting me, (at least the hand that is holding her lol) I don’t understand how they are considered the friendliest snakes yet I have probably the worlds meanest corn snake, you think she’ll grow out of it, she’s hasn’t broken my skin yet but I’m sure she will as she’s rapidly growing now

[@craw3l]

Salem looks so silly in the end LOL idk why but I was imagining the vine boom sound as if he was catching me lacking 😭

[@jennifer3962]

I’ve never seen a “I need to try this” snake bite 😂
