Snake Setup [Pro tips for Success]

[@icebrg.]

Your branding is amazing. From a graphic design/marketing perspective, you’re among the best for reptile content creators I’ve seen.

[@DrewJaynes]

Love this! Definitely should be hot with the beginner crowd because, as usual, you've managed to teach without judgement and sneak in some super useful protips. I never would've thought of that paper towel thing!

[@ReachOutReptiles]

It can cause some serious issues, for sure...

[@eugeniochoco5154]

This channel should have a lot of subscribers! Keep sharing guys! Love this channel so much!

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Feel free to share your favorite videos as well! And thank you very much!

[@alienreptiles2402]

Would be so awesome to a quick video on behaviors. When they feel threatened, getting upset or are content and so on. Thanks for another great video Garrett.

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Thanks for the feedback, I'll put that on the list!

[@scarolina360]

Very simple is the way to go. I like it. The paper towel part is extremely important for new keepers to understand.

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Yes sir!

[@TheStupidBrothers2x]

Garret, this is so awesome! This is what I'm going to use when I get a retic from you. I'm stoked to learn all this from you!

[@jjwingtech3827]

Thanks bro! I had no idea about the paper towel issue, definitely changing my ways immediately!

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Its a life saver!

[@trevorbraden5448]

Yeah man me neither.....

[@bjsreef6620]

Thanks for another great video. You make a great point about the paper towels. I never thought about the fact that they could tear a piece off and swallow it during feeding.

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Dangerous stuff.

[@miballs65]

Man I really appreciate the tip about paper towels. I'd never heard that before.

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Its a life saver...

[@firedrake7179]

Another great one my friend. As always we appreciate you sharing your experiences and wisdom. Take care and happy 4th!

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Thanks!

[@JaysBalls]

Awesome video Garrett. I'm anti paper towel substrate myself for those exact reasons. Paper for quarantine and cypress for everyone else works for me. I use pricey reptile spray so I'm also curious about your mixture for mite prevention spray. Thanks.

[@ReachOutReptiles]

I will have to do a full video on the spray. its called Permectrin II

[@flashingdrake7221]

this video is extremely helpful, it''s be my go-to for any new snake! I was at the steel city expo today and was blown away by the quality of your snakes! I really wanted one but I had a $100 limit haha! I've used paper towels with my bearded dragons, never with snakes, and I don't think the work well with any lizard either! They can tear a piece when eating insects and one of mine got bored the other day and decided to rip up the paper towel! Thanks for all the help, I'm glad to know I have a great local snake source!

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Thanks for stopping by! Sometimes, and extraordinary pet is worth a bit more up front... ;)

[@zaknava9418]

Glad you pointed out the paper towel thing. I'm going away from it for my bearded dragon because I have had to pull paper towel out of his mouth before he could swallow it while I was feeding him bugs. He did just as you said and accidentally got a corner of the paper along with his roach.

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Yikes!

[@WikkidVyxen]

Perfect presentation as always! Thank you for sharing, have an incredible day!

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Thanks! You too!

[@rontronnesjr]

More great information - thanks! - cool editing as well.

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Thanks Ron!

[@CmdrVOODOO]

Hey Garrett, how about a free tip Friday about treating a snake with a full blown mite problem? I’m interested to see how you would handle it.

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Good idea. Stay tuned!

[@georgekefalas292]

Hi Garrett, recently discovered your channel, through Brian Kusko, Brian Barczyk... amazing content! sooo much helpful advice, i recently purchased 2 baby ball pythons(for a future first time breeding project) and have been using paper towels for their beding :-( after viewing this episode you can be sure i will be switching to newspaper, thanks for all the valuable info

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Thank you very much- glad to have you here!

[@princessevileyethezoo4196]

This is what I do before each snake. Never a mite issue. I get deli cups & add a river rock so they don’t dump it. People always want “fancy”. I really want health!

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Fancy is OK, until it gets to the point of compromising your ability to care for the animal well!

[@familyjewels9854]

Thanks have a good weekend

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Thanks!

[@charles8081]

Mr. G, you are like really great, knowledgeable, I'm old school, never used anything but unprinted Newspaper!!!!!! I do use some sub for my slightly larger snakes.

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Thanks!

[@mallorylouviere5893]

Just a tip with the news paper ...my local paper co. Will give u any left over papers from the day before (they always have extra) and they can't sell an old paper so most of the time they will give them to u for free.

[@ReachOutReptiles]

I do something similar here, great tip!

[@MorphMixologyReptiles]

That setup looks just like mine. Paper is the way to go and dollar store hides. What's your mite mixture?

[@ReachOutReptiles]

It's called Permectrin II- I'll do a full video on it soon.

[@crystaltripi6775]

Thank you so much, always used paper towels never knew how dangerous it could be😲, love your hides they are so cute and inexpensive winner winner tofu dinner😉, and agree setting up an animal is just that you do what the animal need in the end you have a happy healthy new friend which bets any decor or flashy trash you can set up. That's why I had a problem with Beta fish I hate seeing people treat them like knick knacks. Great tip thank you ever so much for sharing and best...Also that babe you used for an example was adorable 😍😍😍

[@ReachOutReptiles]

tofu dinner, lol. love it!

[@shelleoshelle7252]

Your videos are excellent!

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Thank you very much, Michelle!

[@LanceKirkman]

Happy Friday!!

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Happy Tuesday! ;)

[@LanceKirkman]

Reach Out Reptiles good Tuesday to you sir

[@dickmico3043]

Keep it simple. Great info!

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Thanks!

[@robnagle26]

Thanks for sharing great info bud

[@ReachOutReptiles]

You're welcome!

[@pxrisxiv]

Just got a boa like 4 months ago and I’m already considering getting a Het anery Super Dwarf retic at the end of the year for £190(England) I’m not sure what locality it is but it’s coming from a reputable reptile store so I’m sure I can trust them on if it’s super dwarf or not.

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Often times stores get them from breeders, and re-sell. Be sure to ask as much about the background info as possible, ESPECIALLY if you intend to breed.

[@cdsexton1]

Needed this last friday :P

[@cdsexton1]

well now I have to go home and change the paper in my QT rack... my new Retic is sitting on paper towel :(

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Day late, dollar short. Hope it helps now!

[@marshallawmorphs3758]

Great info Garrett, thank you! Curious as to what your mite spray mixture is? Those sprays from the store can be pricey

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Called Permectrin II, will do a full video on it soon.

[@EquitySolutionRayRaz]

Love that Packaging 100% , one day I see myself opening one of those SD beauties from ROR , after I am done building my specific collection 1st . Or soon they can buy a cage from me cause mine are solid like vision cages on steroids built to suit and 100% plastic and awesome , all my babies are happy AF . Can’t wait to hook up with another shipment of plastic , Future of Gorilla Tough Caging systems Peace out ✌🏼, I pop my hides in the same exact direction basically

[@paulamanzanita]

Awesome advise like always! What do you use to pre-treat for mites? I see you prepare your own and I'm curious.

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Its called Permectrin II, I'll do a video on it soon.

[@paulamanzanita]

Thanks! I think it is the same compound find in Nix, isn't it? I'll be patiently expecting your video! Thanks again!

[@nicolerosito2357]

I use the same baskets as hides

[@ReachOutReptiles]

lol, they are great!

[@Babygirl-te3ju]

Where do u get the white news paper??

[@rtreptiles6537]

Do you have a separate quarantine room or just a separate rack?

[@cdsexton1]

I recently ordered some tub liners recently, not because paper towels tare, never thought of that. I went to liners, just recently, like came in yesterday lol, because the snakes just push the paper towel into the center lol moves too easy.

[@ReachOutReptiles]

I like those, too.

[@jamesnelson1970]

I use butcher paper with my ball pythons. Do you think thats ok?

[@JaysBalls]

James Nelson As long as you're able to keep the humidity up!

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Yup. Just use the absorbent kind, not the shiny stuff.

[@DanColganTCS]

great tips that i will have to use on snakes other than sd retics!! 😡

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Absolutely! (and then you can buy some SDs from me when you're good and ready). ;)

[@DanColganTCS]

i am ready . i meant because i live in nyc!!
