Yes please on the updated hognose care guide..I'm really hoping to get one at NARBC Tinley next March. I can't go this October...I'm getting ready to go on a trip where I'll be cage diving with great whites 😁. Since hognose like it drier does that mean they can't be in a bioactive? Thanks again for all of the great content 💚🦎🐍🐢💚

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

I'll update the care for sure. They can still have Bioactives for sure

[@aidanlauzier326]

I also might be getting one soon, so that would be awesome to have an update!

[@pyrpyr5Wolf]

They can be in bioactives! My boy was the worst eater until he got moved to his bioactive setup. I use Carex and Festuca grass, mealworms, Spanish isopods and a couple of morio worms for clean up. Water the grasses directly every 1-2 weeks. Mist under a couple of cork/rock/log pieces for the isopods and water the setup a little extra when the snake is in shed and you're good to go.

I ADORE whites tree frogs. I finally got two gorgeous babies this year. They are so cute and goofy. They love their little pool and hunting lobster roaches. One is a more blue with snowflakes, and the other is a blue eyed, so more lavender blue body. My little blue eyed boy recently started croaking. It's adorable and hilarious. Bok bok bork! Just short little bursts. But a lot of noises will set them off.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

I was hoping cresties would be on this list! I've never owned a reptile before but after watching yours and Clint's videos, its got me very interested in them! And I plan on getting myself a crestie next year when I move (hopefully to a place that will allow me to get one lol)

[@RaymondSmith-if6ge]

Hello Ella how are you doing today

[@guy8646]

I’m always surprised when uromastyx don’t make these lists. They need larger enclosures (box turtles need more space) and require high temperatures, but their care is so easy. They don’t need a water dish, they don’t need to be misted, their waste doesn’t smell at all and dries up incredibly fast, and you can buy their food when you shop for yourself, eliminating an extra shopping trip.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Part II?

[@JupiterJamie]

@@WickensWickedReptiles What a wonderful idea! hahaha

[@DoorsToHideBehind156]

You forgot no bugs! But I guess that does in with the shopping thing

​@@WickensWickedReptiles its great! Honestly you need to make sure its dug down at least a foot tho, because they love to dig and escape!

[@Faliat]

I have a little gargoyle gecko now and he is just awesome. Used to have mourning geckos but since they died I had the urge to go bigger because the one big downside to them was how small they were. So when I went to a convention I gave in to my 3 year urge to get a garg soon as I saw my little dude's face pop up out of his little plastic tub. He stood out over all the other cresties and gargs on the table and I just couldn't leave him. I needed one with a good personality and strong character to be able to cope with the 8 hour journey home in a stuffed to near bursting gym bag and I sure picked one that has both. Added bonus is that he's also gorgeous. Vibrant orange stripes on cream white with big lavender eyes. I went to that con hoping to pick up a future mate for my childrens python but there's no way I'm not getting this guy a companion either. Cons are also so much cheaper than reptile shops and buying online. Especially if you're there near closing time and the breeders want to shift some of their last few animals. There was no shortage of baby hogs and a lot of them were going for $50 or less. So if you want a hog for a good price, as long as you don't mind them being really little and needing a little bit more care, go to a con.
