Saylor was the reason I found your channel. You are so kind. She looks great. I'm sorry about the hate you have gotten. Saving animals and putting them in a better environment is in my opinion one of the best things you can do.

[@KristenLeanneVlog]

Thank you, i appreciate that. I get hate about so many things. Unfortunately, I have a target on my back with having an online subscriber base, and a small (but large on social) company, people just want to band together be spread negativity and false truths. But God has my back and I know who I am. That's all I can move forward with! It will never stop, but I will get stronger.

[@susanmartin3762]

Today's modern times reptiles are put in these amazing enclosures. It makes me feel so bad. about 30 years ago one of my husband's friends gave us an iguana. He was huge. And he came in like a 20 gallon fish tank. He came with a branch and a heat rock that was it. We fed him some vegetables and mealworms. We didn't know what the hell we were doing. Thank God we let a guy take Larry because he had a iguana Sanctuary. So Larry got to spend the rest of his life in a beautiful place with other iguanas. I'm so into watching all these reptile channels now and I just feel terrible that we had no clue what to do with that beautiful big iguana. One day that little sucker got up on his hind legs and sprinted across the floor like a goddamn Velociraptor!!🐊🦖. It scared the crap out of me...I won't never forget that.!!

[@justmejo9008]

In the beginning I was sure she was not going to make it. This is so wonderful! Thanks for showing us it can be done

[@MichelleGutierrez32950]

Thank you for saving sayler!! You did such an amazing job

[@Kilyaru]

very late on this, and pardon if this is out of line, but I have a suggestion for more things you could add to her enclosure to make it more interactive and interesting for her! - 'hardscape', some rocks for her to rub off her shed with. this can help alot with reptiles who have had stuck shed problems and can just generally help with future sheds - more wood or rocks for her to climb on and explore - several little hides for her to chill in if her UV gets to be too much! having designated basking areas can really help with these things Im not an expert by any means, nor do I know the full extent of your heating/lighting setups (or if the enclosure will become more dense as you get more stuff), but it was just a couple suggestions ^^ you did a great thing rescuing Sayler, the world needs more good people like you. keep up the good work!

[@14mirjam]

I am just so, so happy for Sayler! What a cage. wow. And pretty soon actually!

[@kirstennicole1996]

You need a proper temperature and humidity gauge, the temperature gauge should have a probe so you can properly monitor the hot spot. You could also get a heat gun to spot check regularily.

[@kimberleypowell7905]

I’m not a reptile person but I don’t like to see any animal being mistreated or neglected so I’m happy to see this and what you do for all animals!! 🤍

[@oliviarinaldi5963]

I'm a new sub. I'm also a military brat and 60 y-old. When we were in Panama Canal Zone and I was a 6 year old little girl, my sister and I used to play with wild Iguanas. They were everywhere. Like you, I love animals more than humans. My cats and dogs are my babies. I can't keep reptiles bc Tempest, my big cat would hunt them. Just yesterday, he decided I wasn't eating enough and left me a squirrel on my doorstep. And he has a bell collar on his neck! So I just have to go and love on them at PetSmart.

For zip ties, you can also melt sharp ends with a lighter. Its a bit quicker, and no filing dust.

[@lisakoepke6466]

She looks amazing! You’re a true blessing for animals.

[@kwiggy5091]

I have two of their pvc enclosures. I'd say my biggest gripe is balancing ventilation with keeping in humidity. This is a huge struggle as I live in Las Vegas. I'd LOVE for them to release side panels with cross ventilation. I use the acrylic sheet on the top to cover 80%, and put my ceramic heat emitters on the open mesh. It works for my boas, but most lizards appreciate more ventilation so you end up needing the whole top open. I also use a fogger on one and a mist king on the other which helps but I would think would be necessary for animals where you need the entire top open. I have seen people use silicone to attach shower curtain rod holders to the sides and rest bamboo sticks or branches, but if you could find something like that with very strong magnets you'd have more flexibility to love things around. Best of luck!

[@faithcurry3175]

Everything about this enclosure is amazing other than the temp and humidity gauge thoes suck and aren't reliable

[@juliavalentine5291]

They can be dangerous as well. Before I knew any better I had them in my snake enclosure. She got one stuck on her.😭😭😭 I was able to remove it without hurting her stall. I felt so horrible.

With your pull ties that you filed off , you could also apply them with the " cut off " facing down before you file then she only walks on a smooth piece of pull tie.

[@emily.letsendbslintheuk554]

Nice viv for a juvenile and I realise that she probably knows that this viv wont last the iggie for life considering she could easily reach 4-5 ft in length so this won't last her that long (males can groe up to 6 ½ft but average is round about 6ft). So many of these stunning reptiles end up abused like this one did originally (mainly cos they are cheap to buy yet grow to a huge size) She does look a lot better now than she did 🐱

Great Stuff Foam and regular silicone. You can make backgrounds with it and then seal it with water based drylock which you can tint or get clear. I use the Pond and Rock great stuff foam since it's black then I carve it down a little after it's expanded and dried then seal it and you can press substrate like dirt, cork bark flat pieces, moss etc onto the foam with the silicone. For branches I always use silicone to attach them to the surface first then foam over the ends and then carve a seal as follows. Makes for some really awesome naturalistic enclosures.
