I'm glad I found your channel recently. I'm subscribed and like your videos. I just told some people about you saying Spadefoot toads can survive buried for months. I wonder if you could legally allow in-person tours of your pets and accept donations. There is probably some way to identify it and limitations that would not require permits, licenses, registrations. I'm sure I personally would never visit (just because I don't travel for any purpose), but if you were within 5-10 miles of my home, I would.

[@sporq4156]

This is awesome. Reminds me of when I bought a 270 gallon enclosure from a pet store that was closing. It came fully set up and they even delivered it to my house. But when I started going through all the plants and substrate, I found 3 green tree frogs, 5 fire belly toads, 2 Moorish geckos and a baby green iguana hiding inside. So I got busy building enclosures and ended up with a minizoo too. Yours is way cooler than what I had though. Congrats on your minizoo!!!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Oh wow! What a score!

[@entombedmachine1518]

I can’t believe they were going to just trash those poor little animals.

I use my husband's KZbin account now so it doesn't show me as an OG but been here since 2019 and loving it. As soon as I moved out at 20 last year I've been slowly growing my reptile collection and you are such an inspiration! Love all the new upgrades. Also I have no idea what species you could be getting but keep us updated lol.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

ohhhh it's a cool species! thanks for the long time support!

[@JPsPetNation]

What reptiles do you have cesar?

[@The_Original_LBSwanson]

This is super cool, I love all things frog. Those milk frogs and the blue dart frogs were my favorites from your new collection. I'd be down for a dart frogs care video! Awesome new additions and so excited for you and your mini zoo.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Thank you 🤗

[@XJunixAnnexKayxScarX]

WWR, laying down: "Paint me like one of your French girls." Also, btw, the only part I was disappointed about this mini zoo was that it wasn't open to public 😂 as a Canadian, I need more reptile zoos to visit

[@davidshaw6159]

That is an amazing ready-made collection, and I'm glad it could stay together and go to a good home. And it definitely counts as a mini zoo 😊

I totally agree!

Get some Oyapocks for your next dart frog. Very bold and the white and black with the Blue legs is pretty striking in person.

Hey Adam, I would highly recommend buying something like one large mistking system instead of three exo terra monsoons since I am having great success with mine. Also the mini zoo looks great!!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

[@alexandriahayes9827]

Man I'm jealous, hahah. You got a lot of species I want! Not sure about their bones, but milk frogs do have blue blood, which is actually why their everything else is blue (and why our mouth and organs are pink/red). Though I suppose their marrow would be blue at the very least, and there are blood vessels throughout the bone, so they might be blue too after all!

[@brittneymcglynn5474]

Also, I have a pair of giant day geckos in a skyscraper. If given the space, they will use it ALL. Super awesome mini zoo!! Congrats one the dope find!!

[@heyoclan8217]

I think that a display tarantula would fit in this collection! It might not be part of the reptile hobby, but it would be cool to see an arboreal tarantula in one of the empty enclosures. An Antilles Pink Toe makes a great display!

[@Squeek801]

I love how fresh and green that wall looks. I would love to see a video about what sorts of plants can be put into a bioactive set up, and if you do create backgrounds, I'd be really interested in seeing the process and what you do with them.

[@LukinsNotmanMusic]

What is the substrate mix in the Arid leopard gecko enclosure. What a cool setup and great video.

[@themurrrr]

I completely understand and agree with you referring to this as a mini zoo. The animals all look so adorable, I cannot pick a favorite. Yes, to all the vid suggestions you made, yes, do it all. Looking forward to seeing the big room finished. Also….. as someone with two black thumbs…. i am so envious of those lush beautiful plants!

What a find! I thought I was lucky to find just three a few month back! It would be awesome to see you go through a couple of the main plants in each tank saw quite a few I wasn't familiar with. Awesome video man!

[@nataliesreptiles]

I can never remember the name of the dart frog that I love. I'll have to go back to the dart frog collection video I saw them on and get back to you on it. But they would be a cool addition. LOVE the Amazon Milk Frogs. Would be a frog species I would own. I do hear their blood is blue. Not sure about their bones though. Would be cool to see how long it takes the isopods to break down feces. Can't wait for updates. Yes! Would love a care guide about Day Geckos. Got a feeling one of these days you're going to have a legit reptile zoo. Would be awesome!

@@WickensWickedReptiles I just got my mist king system this last weekend. Was super easy to set up and connect to three enclosures. Currently using a 5gallon bucket as a water reservoir. I also went down the rabbit hole of looking into DIY systems but the pump cost alone on top of not having a timer it's just not feasible to get the same quality for any cheaper than just getting a starter system. There are cheaper options for nozzles and lines though!

WAIT! You are a plant guy? Please I need a plant collection video. I myself collect rare Hoya and Aroids so I‘m always interested to see other people’s collections. If anyone wants an unsolicited recommendation for unusual Terrarium plants: Try hoya serpens or begonia amphioxus. Both basically impossible to keep alive outside of terrarium or cloches, but absolutely stunning and thriving in 80%+ humidity.
