Reptile Cohabitation, The Top 5 Reptiles That Can Cohab Successfully And How To Do It

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

DO you cohab animals? What species!?

[@Jaydens_backup]

I'm thinking of getting axolotls and I might get two but I don't know how I feel about it

[@darelyshernandez355]

I might get 2 leopard geckos but I want to do more research before I get them

[@JalensXo]

Help me out here, I plan on doing my 2 gold dust day geckos with my 3 painted mantellas in a 12x12x18 that’s Bioactive with live plants. I figured they would inhabit different parts of the tank and have very similar requirements. Does anyone think they’ll be ok?

[@Ash-hi5hy]

I adore garter snakes, and they're very misunderstood little noodles. So I'm glad they're at the top of the list!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

They are!

[@virgoexotics8755]

[@blep_9294]

Absolutely! I love them! If I ever got snakes I would 💯 get them :)

[@Dehalove]

Are they good for handling? I love handling my ball python but colubrids seem totally different.

[@catief1031]

@@Dehalove From what I've seen of mine, they can be rather quick and squirmy if they're not use to it. So definitely hold with two hands and prepare to do the treadmill with them. Mine's still young so I can't confirm personally, but from my understanding they can get use to it and be pretty handable as adults. Snake Discovery has a group of female garters they keep together. Sometimes they have babies so you can see videos of the different ages in action.

[@unspokentruths6416]

I've always had pet snakes, my favorite snake/the coolest snake I ever owned was a garter snake my dogs almost killed and I nursed back to health. When I lived in Ohio my sister's dogs got ahold of a garter snake and about killed it while I was at school. When I came home my brother in-law told me about it, so I went out and found it to make sure it was alright. Over the next 3 or so months I nursed it back to health, I'm honestly surprised it didn't die during that time. It was so chill and friendly that I would put it in my jackets open breast pocket while I would walk around with my friends, I would even take it to school in that pocket occasionally, it loved going out. It would just hang out and occasionally pop its head out of the pocket to look around. Once it was mostly healed I made the coolest tank ever for it, I used a lot of tree bark, I even made it a burrow in the ground out of bark, that was squirmys favorite spot. I also found a huge bowl shaped rock and used it as a water dish, I always kept a ton of live fish in it, squirmy would sit on the edge of the water and strike at the fish like a cobra. That snake acted like a dog, when I would take it to the park with my friends I would sit it down, it would explore but would always stay close and would come back to me if I left it alone for too long, it acted like it didn't want me to leave it behind. By time he was healed winter rolled around so I couldn't release it and by time spring rolled around it wouldn't survive on its own in the wild anymore. I miss that snake and think about it everyday to this day... To anyone who read my long ass comment, sorry for the novel and thank you for reading it.

The problem with cohabbing leopard geckos is that they can live together just fine for years and then one takes a chunk out of the other. Had this happen twice.

Exactly. Leopard geckos should not be kept together. Doesn’t matter if they’re both female.

[@rachelmurtagh8659]

[@AllCanadianReptileGirl]

I'm so happy you had garters as #1! They are awesome and one of my favourites😍! I've got 9 garters from 3 species that I co-hab (each species in their own enclosure, of course). They're so active, so much fun to feed and interact with.... although the valley garters are a a bit of a handful and like to helicopter their tail when they musk. It gets everywhere.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

[@imananonymoususer]

awesome video! I'm on a Wickens Wicked Reptiles binge. we have 'cohabitated' our iguana for the past 12 years we've had him. he is currently 4.5 feet from snout to tail. he will free roam indoors with 2 cats. sometimes they lay together and the cats will groom him. in the spring/summer he will go outdoors in a cage with ducks/ducklings. never had issues him. he even has snuggled in bed with the humans! I think a lot has to do with the animal itself and how they are raised/treated, not just the species.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

[@catfish3302]

In Florida, the green anoles aren’t pests or anything because they’re actually pretty hard to find, as the Cuban brown anoles are out competing them.

[@wildabeeest4637]

When I went to Disney world they were everywhere, which was fine by me because I love them

[@emileats3620]

they aren't necessarily outcompeted, they just climb higher and the males never come down. I see a female every once in a while.

[@Annie_Annie__]

That’s what’s happening where I live in south Texas. Not that long ago green anoles were everywhere, but now you almost never see them, it’s all brown anoles. And we don’t have green anoles up high in the trees because in my area we don’t have tall trees. It’s basically a scrub desert and the major tree is mesquites. Mesquites don’t get very tall and they grow almost parallel to the ground. I’ve seen the brown anoles climb pretty high up the mesquite trees to find food or to get away from predators. I like brown anoles too, they’re pretty cool, but I wish we could have them without losing green anoles. I miss my green color-changing buddies.

Garters were my gateway into reptiles as a whole. I recently found out I can legally keep and breed checkered garter snakes in my state without a license or permit. My first ever genuine pet snake was an albino checkered garter snake and honestly they are my favorite species of all of the garters. I am quite excited to get back into them.

[@joshatshideshow]

Same, my mom encouraged me to go out and find snakes, salamanders, spiders... I'm 41 now, and she's said several times, lovingly, in the past few years that she "regrets" having me do that because I have a zoo now.

[@Fellidae]

So happy you mentioned garters! I have a 'bonded' pair of male eastern garters. Definitely with some attention to detail and care to make sure they get along, they are wonderful pets. Mine are very interactive and curious. There are many studies done that highlight their strange social behaviours, super interesting to learn about. I love my two boys, they're very different in personality, but I think they're super fun to learn about.

[@TitanChief10]

I do have an accidental case of cohabitation that has been working really well for almost a year. I had a big tank 120x120x60cm with my crocodile skink. He turned out to be an absolute master of disguise and I managed to not see him for almost half a year after which I was positive that it must have escaped somehow, so after mourning the loss I decided to get green anoles in the enclosure. And a few months later I suddenly see the skink walking around in the terrarium. By this time they had been together for some time already. Initially I wanted to separate the species but after some time I found they actually go quite well together. Anoles are day active, arboreal and hide out on the plant leaves at night while the skink is active at dusk and dawn, terrestrial and to heavy to climb on the leaves. This combined with the size and lush bioactive setup means they can easily avoid each other if they want.

hi Adam, i just recently "found" your channel and it is awsome! your info really helped me become more interested in the hobby. I have a question regarding Geko`s. would it be possible to cohab diferent species of similar size geckos ?

This is one of the best reptile channels I saw on KZbin and I don’t have a reptile but I am interested in them. Can you do a video on top 5-10 most harmful diseases reptiles can get?

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

I could, if you're kinda new to reptiles you'll love the next video, come back on Thursday!

Does anybody know if I could Cohab a green tree python and a dart frog? I know that green tree pythons are a bit bigger but green trees are arboreal and dart frogs are terrestrial.

I kept jewelled curly-tailed lizards, green anoles and gold dust day geckos together also a male boa constrictor and a male Everglades x yellow rat snake together for over 20 years until the rat snake passed from cancer at 28, the boa was 30 this year.

a rat snake and a boa.... so random

I wanted to add something to the garter snakes. House at least 3 or more. They do better together and they do bond with each other. But so,e garter snakes can just die for no reason, and if u only keep 2, when one dies, it’s buddy can die too. Idk if it’s what u can call a broken heart or loneliness, but it just happens. This way if one dies, the garter snake still has another friend. If u keep a single garter snake by itself, that’s fine. But they are more active and eat better when they r together

The first picture you show for Mourning geckos is not a Lepiodactylys lugubris but a relative to Tokay geckos, dont remember the name tho :/

A cohabitation idea I recently started puzzling out is a large table of three Indian star tortoises with some kind of a mesh top and sides. On one side of the table I'd create a "mountain" of rocks with a bunch of nooks and crannies, and keep a couple of leopard geckos in it. You have nocturnal vs diurnal activity, an insectivore vs a herbivore, and the geckos will likely stay more in the rocky sections while the tortoises will make more use of the open areas of the table. I haven't finished working out the details yet, but I feel like it would probably work, and I'm confident enough that I'm going to try it out after some more planning and some enclosure design.

We have a cohab enclosure with a Rough green sanke, Long tailed grass lizard, and a tree frog With a large water area that has large snails in for help with filtration. All are sub adult and never had any problems.
