Cave Gecko, The Best Pet Lizard?

Supporting Clint’s Reptiles on Patreon makes me feel like I’m doing something good for the world- the educational content you create dispels many preconceptions and shares boundless love for our natural world. When people know what’s out there they want to protect it, and that’s what you are doing every day. I’m proud to be a Stinkin’ Rad fan, and I hope someday to get to visit the reptarium in person!

I don't understand how this is true, it's the base of Clints channel. The core of what he does, and asides from the new series on taxonomy, it's the majority of his content. There's no one type of content, debunking/poking fun at books/youtube theories, trips, general animal deep dives, etc that's as numerous as this series it seems. What's more iconic then Clint sitting at the table counting on his fingers (backwards) the categories of what makes a good pet?

You're so important as a quick resource to keep un informed animal keepers to consider a new exotic pet! I love your channel please never stop.

[@KylesMonitors]

It makes me really sad that the Best Pet videos aren't doing good anymore. They're such a great introduction to specific species and reptiles in general. I started watching them a few years ago when I was laid off from work and they helped me discover my love for reptiles. Because of them I got my first reptile, an ackie monitor monitor. I ended up loving her so much I got 4 more! Today my life revolves around reptiles. I have over a dozen monitors across 4 different species that I keep and responsibly breed, a few boas that are just pets and 1 little Chinese cave gecko. I wouldn't have any of my amazing reptiles or my business and I never would have even discovered my passion without these videos.

[@AGiantTalkingLizard]

I never knew I loved reptiles as much as I do now if it weren’t for Clint! I would have never found out about a whole ton of KZbinrs as well if it weren’t for one of his videos I forget which one (I do think it was the best pet____ video but I’m not sure which) was for but I loved the channel. Then I saw so many other KZbinrs like Garden state Tortise and Snake discovery bc of Clint!

[@pencilpauli9442]

[@MissLessie]

May I ask why they aren't for you? I love reptiles, but am still doubting whether I just have a fascination or whether I could actually keep one as a pet

[@42ZaphodB42]

@@MissLessie Well, they are different from social animals. You can't interact with many of them the way that you are used to with birds or mammals and you'll often times have to handle insects as feeders. Those are big nonos for a lot of people. I personally hates crickets (the disgusting smell and noise) and started breeding my own dubia roaches, that made life a lot easier. I suggest searching for a reptile zoo or visiting something like clints reptile room, where you can touch and handle snakes and lizards. You'll get a feel for them there.

[@pencilpauli9442]

@@MissLessie Sure. The main issue is that I have ME/CFS, and as a result can be hypersensitive to touch. I also get violent involuntary shaking. Wouldn't do the reptile much good if they were being held, or on me. I don't have the space for a larger reptile so a gecko would be ideal and I wouldn't want to risk their safety. I have some fish now, so at least I have some animals in the house to look after.

[@dranorter]

I think I know what is happening here. I started watching Clint via a phylogeny video, and I just love the way he talks about phylogeny. I've gone back and watched all of those videos, and only a few of the pet videos. I tend to watch Clint videos if they show up in my home page. But I think KZbin has "learned" that I like the phylogeny videos. Scrolling through his recent videos it seems like the pet rating videos don't always get recommended to me.

[@kw7378a1]

@@dranorter I think it's also that for any given viewer, they might only watch the pet videos if they are pet shopping and then only for the types of pets they are considering.

Hey Clint not sure if you’ll see this. But I run a small Animal Science program at a school in Massachusetts for students with special needs. Myself and the kids care for a number of rescues and rehomed reptiles, my students also travel to other schools where our students teach other kids about the animals they love. I use your Reptile Review videos as a concise and entertaining introduction to various species, I’ll be using your video on Cuban False Chameleons this summer when I introduce our new pair! Please keep making them, they make a difference. Also the kids are huge fans so if you see this we would love to work with you in some way, whether that’s providing you with some b-roll of our animals or if you ever come across an animal you think would benefit from being in our program.

[@paulglennie1991]

I hear so many stories of people getting reptiles as pets without understanding if it's the right pet for them, As I know some who run a rescue centre, and every year people hand in things like small snakes/lizards because they find out they didn't understand the care. Will agree videos like this are very important for people

[@gildatheplant]

These videos helped me a lot in deciding which pet reptiles would be the right fit for me. Now I have three pet lizards, two of which are rescues. I think a lot of people want an exotic pet, but don't want to do a lot of research. These videos make research fun and entertaining which certainly helps.

[@orochifuror7148]

Snake Discovery say they take in multiple reptiles into their adoption program nearly every single day. That boggles my mind. Pets aren't fair weather friends, you need to know how to take care of them because they are living creatures, not toys you throw at your kids to shut them up then dump for something new.

I feel like it was the opposite for me… I found out dogs (and most mammals, honestly) aren’t for me.

your reptile reviews are so important to me at least. Not only did they tell me clearly, concisely and kindly that im not ready for a snake, but also my lil cousin, my friends, and so many more ive told the channel about. Really hope they stay for the long term, even if you decide to move away from em its good to know where ya started off(And were clean shaven, got shocked to realise i didnt notice the beard until now xD)

[@onixprime]

I love all the educational videos on phylogeny and such, but these pet reviews have been so useful throughout my very recent foray into exotic pets. Maybe the format could evolve a bit and do more individual dives into the pet, its environment, its habits, etc on top of the 5 criteria? Like a 3-5 minute profile of the animal. I know there are a few of these where Clint really dives into some of the animals at the start of the video (because you can tell he is really excited for that animal) and those were very interesting videos that I almost forgot were pet reviews until the numbers started, lol. This way it's meeting some of what makes your other videos so well watched while still fulfilling the pet review.

[@zacg_]

All of Clint's content is fun and educational. But let's face it: the pet review videos are why this channel is truly great. And the reptile reviews are simply the best. I personally only have one pet reptile (a hognose snake) but these videos pull me in. If I'm on a road trip by myself I will sometimes listen to the playlist of the pet reviews. I guess the videos feel aspirational. I hear about an animal and my mind dreams of what it would be like to have a ton of pet reptiles and how that specific pet would fit in with this dream collection. I do plan to get a few more reptiles and you can bet that these videos play a huge roll in that.

[@Jt-lp9ki]

Your video "Every Species of Alligator, Crocodile, Caiman and Gharial! (If You're Into That Kind of Thing)" autoplayed, and it reminded me that nobody liked my comment on a Jurassic World community post asking "what's your favorite dinosaur?"

[@Wocyppah]

I don’t know where I would be without the pet reviews, and especially the reptile reviews. I discovered your channel back in March 2021 before I had any “exotics” outside of tropical fish. (The tongue-in-cheek review of Blacktip Reef Sharks is what drew me in btw). I spent hours going through the library of videos during a spring break road trip and got my first hognose snake in the fall. Since then, my herp collection has grown with a pink-tongue skink, emerald tree skinks, boa constrictor, woma python, and dart frogs. The vinegaroon, greenbottle blue tarantula, and assassin bug videos also kickstarted a modest collection of invertebrates. There is a slew of “bucket list” reptiles I never would have considered before watching their respective videos. The newer videos, especially the phylogenies, are still some of my favorites to put on while at work. However, the pet reviews are an invaluable resource for hobbyists looking for a starting point in their research. Maybe some pet reviews could be of genuses or subfamilies to avoid redundancy? Please continue making them, even if only on occasion. (PS, still waiting for the woma/blackheaded python review and an amphibian phylogeny!)

[@lunahemera6387]

Please don't stop making these :( these are the videos that got me hooked on the channel! I am not in any position rn to keep a reptile but thanks to these videos I know I wantg to as soon as it's realistic for me to do so, and a cave gecko could be one for me at that point

This is actually some of your most entertaining content, so I'm surprised to hear you say that. Years ago the idea of owning a reptile was something I had never considered and now I'm looking at what size enclosures I can fit into my living space. Turns out after a couple hundred snake videos the idea of keeping dead rats in my freezer is growing on me. I still hope you get around to covering Russian rat snakes as an alternative to stuff like NA rat snakes for their hardiness and personality. I've heard a lot of cool stuff about them but not from my favorite voices in the community. They are definitely on my short list of "beginner snakes that actually interest me".

In the past year I’ve been researching animals I might want to keep. This channel has kept me from just jumping into something impulsively. I always consult Clint’s videos, sometimes multiple times. You guys started this channel with the mission to help make sure people don’t end up with the wrong pet for them, with the animal possibly ending up in a bad situation. Please never stop making the “best pet” videos for the sake of the people who need the information and for the sake of the animals. I had to cancel all of my Patreon subscriptions for current financial reasons, but I promise I’ll be back to being a Super Rad Fan in the future.

I don't care if you cover pet reptiles or phylogeny, as a Zoology guy, I will watch either. We respect you as a creator and presenter as well Clint, so don't worry, we will stick around as long as you do.

I wondered why the pet review videos slowed down. I’m here for all of it, but I definitely stay for pet reviews!

YES please do a revamped leopard gecko video!! I loved that video but an update from you would be great!!!

[@brikramberg8084]

I really want to see more of these videos! I used to be scared of snakes, lizards and tarantulas. Watching these videos has allowed me to overcome that as i now find them amazing and fascinating. Please keep making them!

Pet species that Clint’s “is this the right pet for you format” has helped convince me to keep: Brazilian Rainbow Boa Black African House Snake Thai Bamboo Rat Snake Green Anole Emerald Tree Boa That’s more than half of my animals. Thanks for the work you put in, Clint and all the team. I’ll have to look into upping my patreon sub.
