Top 5 BEST Lizards At EVERY Size! You'll NEVER Guess Number One!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

What lizard is YOUR Favorite Species?

[@KBM_herp]

It has to be black and white tegus

[@Kitsune1989]

Curious, for your dart/gecko cohab what space requirements would you recommend? I want to try a cohab but the things I keep right now are not cohab-compatible in any way, not even with others of the same species. Would there be things setup differently due to cohabitation or just setup for the two individual species needs? Panther chameleons. ●Like a dog and a cat wrapped up in one animal personality-wise. ●Pretty forgiving to keep so long as you're supplementing/lights properly. ●Slow, easy to handle, and will come up to climb on you (whether or not you want them to say hi) if you put the effort in. ●colours all the colours ●entertaining shedders ●Not expensive foodwise and different behavior for hunting different prey if you're free feeding. ●Not as fragile as they're made out to be *IF* you get cb from a responsible breeder (I've got 13 chams currently of various species and in 15 yrs of keeping Chameleons have only needed vet care 3 times, and each time was less then 100$. But I do take them for bi-yearly vet checkups just to ensure they're as healthy as I think they are). ●trainable to do tricks, simple or complex, with a *lot" of patience and bribery..much bribery. Some can be taught more then others depending on individual intelligence and food motivation. ●handleable, again IF you get cb from a good breeder and put the effort in. ●These guys can actually form individual based bonds rather then it just being a food bond. They can and will show preferences to who they interact with, when, and for how long. And have favorites. ●intelligent. And an idiot. Often simultaneously. One of mine has figured out how to unlatch his enclosure and can do some rather complex tricks even were he a dog (such as jesus lizard and play dead. Play dead is still a work in progress)...he will also sometimes grabs his own tail then freak out because something has his tail. Downsides. ●initial costs are expensive. I spend about 1000$+ on enclosure and setup without automated misters and without factoring the animal itself. That being said, a lot of those costs are one time costs (such as the enclosure itself or branches) or infrequent (such as bulbs or plants) ●they require effort to get them to a point where they are happy to see you and want to be with you. Unlike a lot of reptiles where you can just take them out and sooner or later they grow used to it or that you can bribe to tolerate you/handling. ●they need proper supplementation. ●without a cleanup crew maintenance can be a bit of a pain since they will use *all* of their enclosure and you can find poops in some interesting places. ●if you don't like kids, don't get a chameleon. It's like owning a toddler, but the kind of toddler that looks directly at you as they attempt to put a fork in the electrical socket. ●being arboreal they need up and down space. They also need space to tuck under plants to cool down or hide so they need some side to side space. In a 2x2x4 enclosure they will use every inch of space at some point. And they will sometimes use it in the weirdest ways possible. ●females are waaay more work.

I Love monitor lizards, I will prefer black-throat monitor then tegu ❤

[@ZachSwarbrick]

Crested geckos are just too goated what’s there to hate about a gecko that can climb walls and jump there’s literally be dragons if they could fly

[@Bigredracing123]

Chinese water dragon

[@ShirahaneYuki]

I definitely think blue tongue skinks could be on the list in the same size category as bearded dragons. They have a pretty easy diet that's also interesting and varied while also taming out really well.

[@danielleb.7055]

Definitely agree. I love beardies and I don't hate but personally they're overrated but whatever. I'd love to see bts more common or on more channels. Ppl probably don't agree but whatever lol

[@CalebsAquarium]

My blue tongue skink is also more chill to handle than my bearded dragon is.

[@Maria-jq3zv]

Yeah I’ve had bearded dragons and blue tongues before (currently have a blue tongue), and I very much prefer blue tongues over bearded dragons. I also live in a climate that’s better for blue tongues, so they’re easier to keep for me.

I can't say enough about how awesome tegus are. They are gorgeous, super smart, and so rewarding to build a relationship with! I love mine so much, she's such a cuddle-bug!!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

She seems like it!

[@elliotgreason1364]

Tegus are a major part of why I got interested in keeping reptiles. I'm currently working on selling my home and moving so I can have space for one. Content from great creators like AllCanadianReptileGirl, WickensWickedReptiles, and other reptile KZbinrs get me so excited for all the things I have to look forward to in my reptile keeping journey.

[@YochevedDesigns]

I just got home from visiting a reptile zoo, and one of their tegus was enormous! All 3 of them were so chill and easy to handle.

[@Jeffrobro]

​@@WickensWickedReptilesI don't know why this is, but my female leopard gecko loves me and is really sweet, but she bites my mom and brother! Like every time they try to hold her.

[@brandens7615]

Tegus are awesome but not all of the are chill and cuddle bugs so always be very careful if you go to handle a tegu you don't know. I've ran into some very aggressive tegus. If they weren't handled enough growing up they can be very aggressive and very dangerous to your limbs and fingers. Never buy a adult tegu unless you've handled it several times on several different occasions. They have a incredibly strong bite. Stronger than a monitor and you could loss a finger. While they can be super chill and affectionate I definitely wouldn't recommend it to a beginner and I strongly strongly recommend you get one that's very young. Stay clear of adult tegus unless your a very experienced tegu owner.

[@StarlitesExotics]

I definitely want to see a best pet snakes list and a tegu care guide. As far as making a part two, I'd definitely add on crested/gargoyle geckos. They are awesome lizards (at least my garg is pretty neat, such a chill little girl).

[@charlottegaughan8578]

A top 5 list of snakes from biggest to smallest would be really neat! A care guide for Schneider Skinks would also be amazing 😊

[@squeakatu1981]

The way Kamp Kenan keeps his lizards is the best in the yt community in my opinion but saying that he has the space to keep them in the big outdoor enclosures. I really want to get a lizard I'm a beginner to the reptile hobby, each time I think I've found a lizard that will be happy in the enclosure that my husband and myself are refurbishing someone will tell me "oh no not good for beginners". That puts me back at square one in trying to find that perfect lizard.

[@CelestineTheConfused]

honestly, no reptiles are "perfect" beginner pets, just choose one that fits your lifestyle the best. For example, if you travel a lot you could get a reptile that eats weekly or biweekly. If you get stressed easily, find a sturdy reptile that won't get sick if its been in the room temperature for a few hours Just my two cents

[@loriw2661]

I agree with the Asian Water Monitor being at #1. If I had one, I’d keep him like Kenan keeps Slinky. I have the property for it but I don’t have the money it takes for the enclosure and the Aquascape water feature, that is a necessity for a WATER monitor. 🦎❤️🦎

[@mauzawa]

I genuinely love how you include bloopers and other things in your videos, like with the hognose eggs. it's really exciting to hear about, and it's also fun to see you as a person and not just a professional video maker :)

[@jynessajohnston6270]

Awesome video, me and my brother met you at the reptile expo a few weeks back and you were so kind made me even bigger of a fan!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Pythonaddiction]

A Tegu Care guide would be amazing. There's a difference of opinion when it comes to some of their dietary requirements and feeding schedules etc... So I think that a care guide would be a great educational tool.

[@tylerdupaw8775]

I agree I’ve been winging it with mine i got her 4 months back and there’s so much Mixed care guides like the parson I got mine from was feeding her beef and eggs and I switched her to a mix of chicken boiled egg and green peppers. Another big thing is you need to provide them with the size enclosure, UVB, basking spots and a humid a nuff environment. But over all thy are really easy to care for once you got there habit all set up

[@kerseykrewzoo]

Uromastyx and skinks would fit a list like this I'd think and with skinks you have the added bonus of different sizes depending on what you want and/or the space you have to work with.

[@kaderblast5194]

Honestly for alternate suggestions I'm really a big fan of dumerils (aka brown roughneck) monitors in the 2nd to last category, they have a lot of the features of asian water monitors but in a smaller package while not being as tiny as ackies or timor monitors. Shame they're not captive bred more.

[@authenticthreads]

100% Uromastyx! A bit more to know about care than Beardies but set up cost is the same, even if animal cost is more. Easier to feed because no live food requirement and a bunch of sizes and colors to choose from. Absolutely the most underrated pet lizard. And honestly, if we gave them their due there would be a lot more captive breeding efforts, which is absolutely essential to their long term survival. They’re not endangered but they are poached for both local food and for the pet trade and wild caught animals seldom acclimate well in general.

[@ing3666]

New Leo owners here, new to having a reptile as well. Love watching him/her grow. Got the Leo for our son’s 16th birthday, beginning of June. It can be time consuming researching all things and breeding the feeder insects, which I am now doing….. Oh, did I mention that I have a huge phobia of grasshoppers and crickets? Ya, good times 😂 but slowly getting over that fear. Thank you Adam for all of your insight!

[@ianviviTV]

I have a phobia of anything that has multiple legs/arms. So the superworms are difficult for me 😫

[@MsMeI]

I was terrified of roaches when I got my leo. Now dubias are my fave to use as a feeder. =)

[@redheadedbint]

I have a pair of Jewelled Lacertas and they're definitely high up on my list. Theyre very tame and come out of the enclosure to explore and sit up on my shoulder and I love watching them eat and trying new foods with them. Theyre also out basking most of the time so I get to appreciate them. I also have a beardie and various geckos but I think these just have slightly more character.

[@seanbaros-qe1rp]

Love the video as usual. I totally agree with all of them. As I said last video I am going to get a shingleback lizard and I can't find any good care guides for them. So it would be so helpful if you made one. Thank you so much for entertaining me. I look forward to your videos all week. Good job

[@LoreBeast]

I will always be in the camp that crested geckos and gargoyle geckos are some of the best out there. Would love to see a video like this on snakes.

[@s.creasy4603]

Please do a tegu care guide. they're a dream pet id love to learn more about. 😃

[@jpslizards]

For me they would be Tiny: chameleon geckos Small: collared lizards Medium: Kimberley Rock Monitors Large: Tegus Giant: Black Throat Monitors

[@lorrainemunoa791]

My fave lizards would be the skinks, like Schneiders and Emerald tree skinks, and fire skinks, and blue or pink tongued skinks.

[@yzettasmith4194]

I like lots of different lizards. My favorite tiny lizard would be the Williamsii. Medium would be Blue Tongue Skinks (the Australian ones) well, actually Shinglebacks. Favorite large is a Caiman lizard but B&W Tegu is a close second, a tie really.

[@ashersamphibiansandreptiles]

Have 3 of 5 as pets currently to leopard geckos a bearded dragon and a Argentine black and white Tegu. I also have a crested gecko. All of them make great pets. But by far the Tegu is the most loving and efficient one we got her as a 2 year from a pet expo and she tuck to us immediately.

[@reedwetzel1324]

Good list . I was opposite. I owned 4 snakes first because feeding a rodent was easier for me than feeding a lizard bugs which grossed me out. But last year I bought a crested gecko which I like how it can be feed bugs and paste. I just adopted/indonesian blue tongue skink and it's diet and care is very simple and I love how it interacts with me.

[@corathus]

I doubt these would classify as Great Pets however to place in my vote of favourite reptiles and possible dream to gets. Small: Jeweled Lacerta Medium: Fiji Iguana Large: Australian Water Dragon Huge: Tri Color Monitor.

[@clistiarobinson34]

Great vlog today, if I was to get any lizard or whatever one I want to make sure I have the space, an enclosure for them to move around in and the food because I would love love to have a Asian water monitor or if I had to go smaller I would either get an ackie or a beardie

[@Bec_Bec]

i absolutely love green blue and yellow tree monitors, theyre so pretty to look at and also not so small that theyre super fragile! such a nice size for a monitor or lizard overall imo.

[@Me_1983-]

It's awesome you mention that firsts can be large. I have found that as long as it's something you are passionate about then you are going to take the best care, do the best research, and provide the best home for your new family member.

[@bIeaq]

As someone who just upgraded their lone leopard gecko from a 40 gal to a 4x2x2 (yes, it's set-up properly for her), I'd argue going at least 1 size bracket up from what Adam recommends is ideal, both for the animal and you.

[@CrimFerret]

Given the finances and the space to do it, I'd love a black and white tegu. There's a lot of good information about keeping them. Target training seems like a must. They are so smart you have to watch to make sure they aren't training you rather than the other way around. I can't imagine a better large lizard to handle than a well socialized tegu. Sure you might get claw scratches, but that's going to happen with any larger lizard.

[@toddlahaye5478]

There are soo many more you could make at least 4 of this videos and that's just off the top of my head

[@blue-wn9hz]

At my work, we have 2 Asian water monitors, a mama and her baby. The mama has a whole room as her enclosure decked out with tunnels, branches, a whole shelf system to hide In, benches and a mini pond!! Her baby has similar but in a much smaller tank as she's 6/7months

[@carrmaye]

Tegus are awesome! We love ours, a care guide video from you would be awesome

[@alexiswilson4186]

I think a good option for people looking for something between leopard gecko size and bearded dragon size (or if you’re just looking for something more tropical, or green, or slender) is a green keel bellied lizard. I have one and he’s a joy to have in the house, we don’t handle him although if you raised one as a baby I’m sure handling could be a possibility but they are very fast. Tokay geckos would also be an option between those sizes although I understand why some people don’t want to keep one.

[@Agg1E91]

I am currently raising a Keel Bellied Lizard in a bioactive 36Hx17Dx22W (Thank Leap Habitats for the odd dimensions) enclosure with mister, fogger etc. Had it about 3 months. It's about 4 months old. Already about 12" tip to tip. 4-5" body. Lot's of fun. CB from CB parents. So pretty even tempered. It's already willing to crawl onto my hand or arm. But it goes where it wants. I don't pick it off me like I would my Leo. Gotta coax it back into the enclosure when I've had enough. Plus, at this age I still have some concerns about it screaming, "Fweeedomm!!!!" and just taking off. It could easily climb places I can't go.

I would add Dumeril monitors to the large but not giant lizards that make great pets. Properly socialized, they become very docile and actually learn to recognize you. They'll come to the front of the cage when you come home and beg for neck scritches. Not quite puppy dog tame but pretty close. I had two and they were great.

Theres loads of underrated species most people never consider or have even heard of as alot of pet/reptile shops dont stock them often like Coleonxy (Banded Geckos) from the Americas that are variable from humid rainforest to dry desert dwelling depending on the species. Theres Conehead Iguanas (Laemanctus species) they're medium sized like Basilisks care wise just a bit smaller. Tons of Anole species with some being just as colourful as some Chameleons and then you've Agama species like Uromastyx again loads of colours and no livefood needed for them or instead of Water Monitors but you're still after a med-big lizard that likes to climb and swim there is Chinese Crocodile Lizards, Australian or Chinese Water Dragons, Sailfin Dragons, Caiman Lizards. Monitor lizard wise theres Pygmy Mulga, Storrs, Kimberly and Pilbara Rock, Ridge tailed (Ackie), Timors, Green, Blue, Black, and Yellow tree monitors. Oh and another alternative to Tegus are European Eyed lizards Adams mentioned before they dont get as big are much more cold tolerant than Tegus being able to be kept outside in most of the US, EU UK for at least part of the year they're colourful too and don't just eat bugs.

Perhaps you can do a top 5 for each of these categories? Rankins dragon is the best small pet lizard in my oppition. A bearded dragon but half the size, twice the fun. :) A beardie the size of a leopard gecko. Unlike the gecko's you mentioned Rankins are day animals, so you will see them during the day. How do you rate them compared to the gecko's you mentioned? I love my Rankins. They have the personality of a beardie but pocket sized and they are day active. I know beardies are great as medium lizards, but personally I would buy an Ackie monitor in this categorie. However it is same category as bearded dragon and you chose one per category. But would you say that Ackie monitor is the second best in medium size after bearded dragon?
