I clicked on this just as soon as I saw it in my notifications. I'm really looking forward to getting my "first" reptile. I had snakes, skinks, lizards, and frogs when I was a kid but I KNOW I didn't do their setups right and probably not their care either. That's what happened back in the day when you only had the pet shop worker's word to go on about what they need. The internet changed everything. I'm really looking forward to starting fresh with the knowledge I need, and I loved this video!

I didn't have it in my notifiications, but I saw it in my recommendations now and this is super helpful for me as a first time reptile owner. My husband had lizards when he was a child, but he never learned how to care for them and they never lived past a couple weeks, so I'm accepting no advice from him.

One thing I can also recommend to all beginners, make the enclosure is as detailed and as big as your going to want your reptile to be living in for the rest of its life. You will save so much money instead of buying things that are just going to be sitting in your closet after you find something you like better.

Looking into getting a Milk Snake. Got most things set up, getting a dimmer switch for the basking bulb. I appreciate the way you inform your audience “set it up how you want as long as the parameters are right” Exactly, I see sooo much varying information “What’s the best temps are for this reptile” when really it just needs to be within a certain threshold, a gradient n what not. Anyways, good stuff!

I also won a tomato frog at a reptile expo a few weeks ago and it's doing amazing ❤️ I'm so excited about getting back into this hobby, especially now that im a mom and my son is suuuper into reptiles and amphibians.

I agree to a point that we arrange an enclosure for us, however all the extras that I have added to my Leopard Gecko's enclosure as well as my other reptiles can only enrich their lives further. I wouldn't downplay the importance of this as we are literally creating our pets world for their whole life and over the course of that life changes will be made, things will be added, but the bottom line is that I'm constantly thinking about what my pet might like and always feel so happy when they use what I've given them. I hate it when I hear "Oh that will be good enough, he won't care," because in very many subtle ways I think they do. They need enrichment and things to do just as we do and that's how I set up an enclosure with that in mind. I really enjoy your vids just hope you always stress the best ways to keep a reptile not just the cheapest.

Again, thanks for watching and commenting :)

Hello AWESOME ADAM!!!!!!!!!! Question, I think that all of these years I've been in error on my enclosure temperature. I am setting up 4 new enclosures for a Fla Kings, I have one side that a heat mat that is set on 85 to 88 degrees, the over-all air temp however remains at around 73 to 76 degrees, Is this ok as long as the snake has complete access to both temperature areas, or do I need to also raise the air temp on the warm side or is access to the heat pad area enough? I have all set temps on therms. Thanks so much Adam!!!!!!!!!!

Heat mats aren’t a good primary heat source. A halogen flood bulb connected to a dimmer/dimming thermostat is the most natural and beneficial option, Arcadia’s deep heat projector is the second best option. They produce IRA and IRB like the sun, heat that penetrates deep into the skin tissue and heats them far more effectively than heat mats. Whereas heat mats only produce IRC, which only heats the surface of their skin.

I have so far never found kits to be economical and it enrages me when they include sand. The best way is to do the research and buy the best quality items.

Great point!I do think kits can be the best way to go if they include mostly what you need like this one did. It ended up being cheaper than getting everything individually

Would you recommend getting a snake (I'm looking for a hognose), when you've never ever handled a reptile in your life? Or should I find a way to try that first? As a child I was even scared of picking up my guinea pig... but that was over 10 years ago, so hopefully that's not an issue anymore. Idk.

My first reptile as an adult was a Rosy boa. I'm not sure I would recommend a hognose because they can be quite sassy, but if you are confident enough to handle that it should be fine.
