Couldn’t agree more brother! Can’t wait till the next one 🤠🦎✨!

The Parson's chameleon is absolutely out of this world. That one is my favorite. I was super excited to see the frogs, especially the starry night reed frog. Such a beautiful and incredible species.

[@Reptiliatus]

They are truly little (but huge!) dinosaurs! The starry night frogs are magnificent! True beauties! Thanks so much for always watching and supporting Casey ☺️🙏🏼!

[@miriamw.8673]

Another incredible video! I was super excited to see all the frogs-- such incredible creatures! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!

Hello great video wow what amazing animals you found Dayyan

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you so much!

[@sfooladi2254]

This series has made me decide on Madagascar over Guyana this coming summer :) (I am going to Brazil/Amazonas in a week anyways, so it makes sense :D).

[@Reptiliatus]

How exciting! Hope you have an safe and enjoyable trip!

[@Mads-ChristianLGrnhj]

[@daniellemarie9996]

@@Reptiliatus I'm really enjoying it, I've been watching it on your channel, wickens wicked reptiles and Mike tytulas 🙂👍🇨🇦 and makes it better supporting a fellow Canadian!!

[@elisabethv8571]

These videos are currently my most anticipated viideos on YT. So relaxing and informative.

[@Reptiliatus]

Thanks so much! I’m so touched! 🤠🙏🏼

[@itsLizJaramillo]

What a cool video! And my baby decided to take a nap while watching so even better! It was probably your voice...it's pretty soothing.

[@Reptiliatus]

Thanks so much! Haha glad that worked out perfectly! I’ve been told that before haha.

[@kingnonoyt]

Hello,keep up the great work

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you so much!

[@LemonFN]

First

[@Reptiliatus]

Wahoo! Thanks for watching!

[@PegzieBean]

Amazing! I met your coworker and we talked about our grammastola pulchras and how you've been giving him advice. That is AWESOME. I love your videos - I can't wait to see more!

[@Reptiliatus]

Haha no way! Was it Chris I assume? Thanks so much for your support!

[@PegzieBean]

@Reptiliatus I wish I got his name! He was super enthusiastic and wanted to see all my critters photos haha (praying mantis, jumping spiders, and my first ever tarantulas). I fan-girl'd a bit when he mentioned you work there. I was like "nah! He's in Madagascar!" Lol

[@Nazumbo1]

Hi love ur vids

[@Reptiliatus]

Hi! Thank you so much!

[@aphiliarachno]

Awesome trip so far! Aw, chameleons are so cute. I like how they move. And how they sleep on branches at night, 😍. Guess it feels super interesting when they walk over your hands and arms and cling on to it with their toes, especially when they are that huge.

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you so much! It was the trip of a lifetime and I’m excited to share the rest of it with you all over the next few weeks! The parsons grip is INTENSE! Pretty much guaranteed to have lots of scratches and a bit of blood drawn just form them walking across your arm but it’s worth the experience! 🤠

[@_dboy_]

Wow these just keep getting better and better. The Parsons chameleons and the starry night tree frogs win the day for me but all these animals are amazing. What an experience that must have been for this great group of herpers. It's cool seeing all you guys who I watch regularly together in a cool place like this. I want the boas next✌️

[@jessecunningham9924]

Awesome video! I thought the exact same thing as Dayyan when I saw those giant chameleons. All they’d need are three horns and they’d be a tree-triceratops! Dayyan, so when are you going to get your own show on the Discovery channel? 😁

[@Reptiliatus]

They are truly spectacular! Couldn’t agree more! Goodness, you are far too kind! Maybe someday! 🤠😅

[@ewp1126]

Dayyan I LOVE the Madagascar series. What a trip!

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you so much! Appreciate it!

[@DoopDog124]

Great video! You genuinely have the best herpetology content on KZbin

[@Reptiliatus]

Wow, thank you! That’s so flattering! I try my best! 🙏🏼

[@TheBlubunni]

Really enjoying your Madagascar videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you so much! Really happy you are enjoying the videos!

[@MissEwe]

whaaaaaa? lol I gotta see 👀

[@DunkinBiscuits]

Top 3 things to consider before purchasing a chameleon - 1 - Do you have the time to give a chameleon the care it needs? If you have a very busy lifestyle then perhaps a chameleon is not for you. 2 - can you afford all the necessary equipment and live food etc needed for a chameleon? Chameleons need a constant and healthy variety of different insects as well as all the added supplements, they also need regular new uvb lights , plants, misters and many things to give a chameleon what it needs to thrive in the environment you have created for them. 3 - are you willing to do as much research as possible in order to understand the best ways of caring for a chameleon? You can never learn too much when it comes to keeping chameleons, we are constantly adapting and improving our understanding of how to care for them and as a group we all learn from each other through sharing our experiences, the Internet can be your best friend for learning how to give these incredible creatures the best life possible

[@Reptiliatus]

Fantastic comment! Thank you for sharing!

[@CaliAnimalLover]

I have to share this video with my son. He has a chameleon! That yellow-lipped guy looked huge. And I loved the starry reed frog. He’s so CUTE! I’m like Mike, I love the frogs! And I have to say, the Chameleon guy just looks soooooo happy, like bursting at the seams happy!! You speak French? Parle vous en France? I learned a tiny bit in H.S. one hundred years ago! Lol.

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you for sharing! I hope he likes it! Haha yes, I speak French!

[@CaliAnimalLover]

@@Reptiliatus you’re welcome! I asked him what kind of chameleon he has, and he said a veiled. I don’t really know much about them, other than they are hard to keep alive. I get so invested and attached, if I brought anything home and it died, it would break my heart. 💔 But he takes care of all kinds of plants and animals and they all thrive.

[@bonniev2685]

Well done, amazing video. I just love watching the chameleons feet, so interesting.

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you very much! Yes! Their feet are so neat!

[@jessicarabbit8195]

Thank you for taking us on these adventures!!

[@Reptiliatus]

Our pleasure!

[@theonlypawssquad8820]

love all your vidoes man you are the reason i got a tokay gecko yesterday been watching the vidoes for a while now :)keep it up

[@Reptiliatus]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate you watching and leaving this kind comment! Congratulations on your tokay gecko! You will not regret it! They are incredible geckos!

[@beamerhull6373]

Hey, do you happen to be selling red eyed crocodile skinks? Because I really am interested in breeding them just like you. Also, some of those were huge!!

[@Reptiliatus]

At this time I have a few available in Canada :). Thank you for your support!

[@beamerhull6373]

No problem! Do you have a website? Sorry, I forgot to ask this earlier 😅

[@Stwinky]

Just a couple of buds stirring up trouble in the jungle!

[@Reptiliatus]

Hahaha

[@rickcroney1286]

QOTD 1) Caging - Hybrid vs Screen 2) Lighting - UVB, Basking & Daylight/LED 3) Hydration - Night Fogging & Misting Schedule.

[@Reptiliatus]

Thanks for the answer!

[@ChantalsCritters]

Great video as always

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you Chantal!

[@kevinpoe8137]

I have two lined day geckos, both males so I’m gonna have to get them lady friends at some point

[@Reptiliatus]

Very cool! I hope you are able to eventually find them mates!

[@davidvento5481]

Top 3 things to consider before keeping a chameleon (any herp actually); 1 - Humidity/temperature (being able to replicate habitat requirements.) Most chameleons do best with a fogger/misting system and good air exchange to keep from overheating (a screen top or sides). 2 - Enclosure size - as Chameleon species are arboreal the enclosure should be much taller than wide with plenty of plants/branches to climb on. 3 - Diet; a supply of (preferably live) insects is important as their feeding response is movement induced. Some can be acclimatized to eating canned insects by presenting them on a long twig/straw & simulating movement.

[@Reptiliatus]

Some great suggestions! Thank you for watching and thank you for commenting!

[@dacisky]

Just astounding.

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you so much 🤠! Thrilled you enjoyed the video!

[@CliffTheAlien]

Amazing overhead shots. Let me know if you ever want to rent my spaceship for higher vantage points, send me your coordinates and let's make it happen

[@Reptiliatus]

Haha thank you kindly! Will do 🖖🏼👽

[@franciscojavierrodriguez9066]

How rare is the Brooke’s chameleon is too find in the wild

[@RodeosReptiles]

What is the name of the tour guide company you used?

[@squeakatu1981]

Do chameleons make good first reptile pets? I've been loving these videos and I'm so looking forward to the rest of your trip.

[@Reptiliatus]

In my opinion, because of their more delicate or less forgiving nature, I would have to say no. That being said, someone could do a lot of research and make sure they know exactly what they are doing prior to owning one. The hands on experience with other reptiles makes a big difference leading up to a chameleon.

[@outdoorthings6917]

I personally will never have a pet chameleon but they are cool to see in the wild and captivity 🦎

[@Reptiliatus]

They certainly aren’t for everyone but interacting with them in the wild was a real special experience!

[@outdoorthings6917]

That’s cool

Please don’t take this offensively, but your voice is so soothing. You should look into narrating sleep stories for insomniacs.

[@Reptiliatus]

Haha not offended at all! Thanks for the kind words!

[@d.h.437]

I like your tarantula videos! What camera do you use?

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you! For closeups it’s usually an iPhone!

[@camhaothi8400]

Hey Miriam I want to ask you a question ❓❓❓❓ can tarantula eat fruit it because I read it on the internet that tarantula can eat fruit is it true.

[@leafwitheyes2473]

4 views and eight likes! Im early😂!

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you for your early support and viewership! I hope you enjoyed the video!

[@joejohnson81]

I'm just hoping you pronounce chameleon differently than me, or else I have questions on how to pronounce your "giant chams" thumbnail lmao.

[@danielleb.7055]

I think bills advise should apply to most species in captivity. But I think we should provide the best enclosures and care for the animals we have instead of "collecting" every animal and put them in the little enclosures. We should appreciate them for what they are and observe their natural behaviors ( well as natural as possible). Anyway ill stop.. have a great day

[@janlvll5486]

Housing environment and diet.

[@Reptiliatus]

For sure!
