Can you PLEASE GET A BARKING GECKO Underwoodisaurus Milli.... Please

C'mon Dion please get a Barking Gecko

[@gasparfekete-kepes9241]

I think his name should be Totoro

[@AmazingBeautifulBlindAlaina]

Name him Kevin 😊

[@halfassfashion]

Disappointed you bought a wild-caught animal. The exotic pet trade is a leading driver of extinction. And it just seems cruel to remove a critter from the wild, stick it in Tupperware, and ship it halfway across the earth.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

What a fun time it was! Always great seeing you my friend!

[@Reptiliatus]

Likewise brother!

Great video - and great B roll footage! Also, what is the lizard that appears at 2:05? I thought it was maybe a Mountain Horned Dragon, but the snout seems wrong. Thanks for the cool video!

[@rachaels8leggedwonders448]

Same question!!

[@elseyknits]

Also wondering!!

[@elseyknits]

Found it! Abbott's angle head lizard, gonocephalus abbotti

[@Reptiliatus]

Bingo!

[@Reptiliatus]

Thanks so much! I’ve answered a few others who asked but it looks like someone answered! Thanks for watching!

[@kevinpoe8137]

2:09, definitely should’ve gotten this guy, would’ve expanded your army of dragons, every general needs his war mount 😂

[@Reptiliatus]

The Abbott's crested lizards (Gonocephalus doriae abbotti) were so cool! Space though! Maybe someday in the distant future lol!

[@chroniclesofab6206]

I had no idea you could keep any beetles legally in canada until now. very cool!

[@Reptiliatus]

Yes! There are several native species! Pretty awesome!

[@Everything.On.Wheels519]

Croc skinks are definitely high on my list for my reptile room! Love them!

[@Reptiliatus]

They are amazing!

[@Everything.On.Wheels519]

I just wish they weren't so darn shy! Oh well it'll be a while before I can afford them 😅 Ashley took every penny from my pocket on her last EU import 🤣

[@TobysTerrificTropics]

Hi Dayan. Great vid as always. Just want to say thanks for the entertainment you give me ever now and then🤣

[@Reptiliatus]

Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Latch32474]

Hello Dion, your mini dragon content has been amazing, I have wanted a pair of Crocodile Skinks, I am setting up a 36x18x24 enclosure, with a half land half water feature. I was at the New England reptile show over the weekend and found a sub-adult pair. I have them in quarantine now while I complete the enclosure. Thanks for all the content

[@Reptiliatus]

How exciting! I'm sure you'll do so great with them! Thank you for sharing and best wishes for the adventures/pairing ahead!

[@Latch32474]

@@Reptiliatus I really do enjoy your video's, thanks for all the content - My son also picked up his first ball python yesterday - we have a 48x18x18 enclosure for him getting set up today.

[@canalsideexotics56]

Who did you get the red eye Croc skink from You said it was wild caught. We are not allowed to vend WC at the expo

[@cynthialbell9023]

Hi Dayyan So nice to see you at the Reptile Expo in Canada. There were a lot of beetles, reptiles, and tarantulas. That was a large EXPO. So glad that you found a juvenile crocodile skink. I hope that you will find a plain gecko to add to your collection. Thanks for showing how to set up a quarantine container for your new crocodile skink. ❤All of your frogs, and reptiles. Cindy

Hello great video information Dayyan

Thank you for watching!

[@kekepaniapayne5614]

Your awesome! Love your videos! Especially to Madagascar! And question…what was the taupe colored beetle with the dark brownish black dots on the side that someone was holding around 3:21. I actually just saw my very first one yesterday in NJ & have no idea what it was!

[@Reptiliatus]

Thanks so much for the love! tbh, I’m not 100% sure! You should checkout their website to see! 😊

[@squeakatu1981]

Hello can I ask if you know what the lizard at 2:05 was? I've not seen them before and would love to know as their so interesting looking. When you get a gecko I can guarantee I'll be here in the comments boring you with a million questions 😅😅

I'm looking forward to some Reptiliatus leopard gecko content, strangely enough. They're common as can be, but they're so freakin cool.

I am looking forward to sharing some! I haven't owned a leopard gecko in a very long time so it'll be so great! Hoping to find one to adopt!

Hey im wanting to make a youtu e channel about reptiles do you have any tips?

[@Tito13k]

2:05 what is that? Sorry if it’s a dumb question, I’m from Texas and never seen that Lizard in my life

[@33shorts-nl8pv]

Love this great job

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you!

[@ganyuvision3867]

Amazing content. Love it so much. Btw, i just got a adult tokay gecko. His name is tiki too.He’s tame enough for me but still have that feisty behaviour. But, he doesn’t cooperate with tongfeeding and i found him to bark less compare to other tokay. How do you manage to train your tokay for tongfeeding for the first time and is it okay for them to not bark at all?

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you so much! Oh awesome! Congrats! Perhaps checkout my tokay gecko taming playlist! Lots of tips and suggestions there!

[@ashersamphibiansandreptiles]

Awesome expo Dayyan! Expos are sick but this one is the best in the country. Hope to make it out one day!

Really cool expo, I will go to TerraPlaza in October so I can get more mantisis 🙃

[@kamiki0209]

Hi Dayyan! Greetings from Taiwan here. Thanks for bringing this video up for us to see the diversity of the animal species of this expo. In Taiwan we have expos like this recently, but honestly we don't have that many rare species like you Canadians do! By the way, if you end up couldn't find a normal macularius, why don't you consider another subspecies or other species in same genus? Their care and husbandry are as easy as macularius, some even beat the macularius in terms of colouration or the size!

[@questtherebelgaming]

You give me croc skink fever man lol i can't wait until they are more available captive bred.

[@Reptiliatus]

😂👌🏼

[@lonewolfbackcountry3734]

Its funny at the last Calgary expo I was talking with a leo gecko vendor and I mentioned that you dont see many normal ones anymore and they agreed with me. good luck with it I hope you find one.

[@Reptiliatus]

Exactly! It’s so funny!

[@thequackyest3604]

what was the the lizard at 2:06

[@thequackyest3604]

I should prob learn more about reptiles though birds, incects, fish and deep sea stuff Is my thing

[@azaria7528]

Do you know any sites/places in bc particularly in the weat coast area that sells them?? Also i have a 20 gal paludarium set up (horizontal) and im looking for any semi aquatic species that can go in the tank, love your channel!! These skinks are always my favorite update of yours

[@dylangeltzeiler946]

2:06-2:08 What species of Lizard is that? I don’t think I’ve seen one of those before. It almost looks like a species of Iguana.

Hey Dion, could you inform me where to find some captive bred dune/elegant geckos?

What kind of lizard is that at 2:05

[@reubendaly827]

This was an awesome vid, I'm going to my first expo since 2020 this weekend, and am being rather impatient! Qotd: I think a good name would be "The Strait of Mallaca and It's Impacts On Global Shipping Routes" or Mala for short

Thanks so much! Have a great time! Thanks for the name suggestion! Mala sounds cool!

WHO WHATS Dion to get a Barking Gecko

[@Reptiliatus]

[@RC_Murphy]

lol I felt like the leaf guys because the last show I went to I came home with a huge, massive . . . 2-inch pot with a new succulent for my tortoise enclosure. I did, however, help my friend grab almost everything she needs to make her corn snake enclosure bioactive.

[@Reptiliatus]

hahaha

[@bullfrogjay4383]

Hey, yeah man ! I love normal Leopard geckos. I adopted 4 females about two months ago and while they all are beautiful, the normal is just so nice looking with lots of crisp black dots. I will pick up a male eventually just to have both genders. Very cool footage, love expos. Also, as for names, Draco, Drogon, Rheagal and Balerion the Black Dread 🤣

[@Reptiliatus]

Right?! That's great! I would just like to have one, normal-looking leopard gecko haha. Thanks so much for watching! Great name suggestions!

Does a wild type leopard gecko exist in captivity?

[@rabidvulture]

I had to miss this expo, and I was so sad about it!! How was the selection on scorpions? I didn't see any in this

[@Reptiliatus]

Was a great show! Not too crazy! Remember Buthids aren’t allowed in Toronto so basically just Heterometrus and Pandinus are what you see :).

[@rabidvulture]

@Reptiliatus I'm wanting a pandinus! It's hard to even find the heterometris where I'm at though, so I usually hold out for expos.

[@steveburlingame1935]

What kind of gecko u get

[@Upper_echelon_exotics]

Maybe to aquire a leopard gecko you could check locally. People are always rehoming leopard geckos.

[@Reptiliatus]

Thank you for the suggestion! You’ll see what I did soon enough! 😉

[@fielddaisy9493]

wonderful pets, I got mine at a price, nobody would believe. Mated pair, 220 dollars. This was years ago and a mistake by the seller but honored.

[@Mastervulpes]

What in god’s name is that green lizard on the thumbnail?? I’ve never seen anything like it

[@kenjiro2676]

12:28 Ooo a wildie, although it is good to advocate for captive bred animals, wild animals should be left to breeders who can use them to diversify their bloodlines. Every wild animal used in captive breeding programs can help deepen the gene pool of the captive population. It’s only a problem if a new keeper grabs a wild animal because they are cheaper, and end up not knowing how to quarantine or treat them for parasites.

[@alexallen9640]

I'm glad you enjoyed the expo, and I'm surprised to hear you mention that you're looking for a Leopard Gecko. And to answer your question of the day, how about the name Marty? 🙂👍
