Mossy Leaf-tailed Gecko, The Best Pet Lizard?

You are awesome. I look at your channel to learn if the animal is for me. Thanks

Speaking of awesome looking masters of camouflage, Could you ever go through pros and cons of owning a pet octopus? You might be expert in reptiles, but for this argument ill just assume you know everything about every animal anyone has ever owned ever. :)

Man this lady is doing such awesome work, and I hope she knows how many of us appreciate it. I wish like hell I had known about her website when I was trying to prepare for my ball python before him. It took a ton of time to find a bunch of care info even for something simple like a ball python, and to compare and contrast info I was finding, hoping I had a good sense of which sources were the most trustworthy. I'm so glad to know there will be a place for me to look when I do my research for my future snakes.

[@user-zb4jc2kl8i]

Hey Clint, I know you usually do the "Best Pet Lizard" format or variants of it, but I was curious if you would consider reviewing you fan-bases reptile setups? It may be a good way to interact with your fans, and give people ideas for their reptile habitats!

[@wedgehead3603]

Just found your channel, stinkin rad my dude. I had a pair of leopard geckos when I was a teenager you've made me want to get back into owning reptiles. Your enthusiasm is palpable and contagious.

Never underestimate the need for proper ventilation with all uroplatus species. I had lots of success keeping New Caledonian species and thought I had the experience to keep a Henkeli. My terrarium heat and humidity were fine but in an effort to keep in humidity I covered some of the mesh at the top of the enclosure. My gecko got a RI a 3-5 days later. She got treatment but she was never the same after the stress and sadly passed 5 months later. Proper Ventilation is extremely important, almost as much as not overheating. Many care sheets miss out on highlighting ventilation considerations for many species.
