Watering My Reptiles

[@snakemannn1744]

Yes u is right watering is a tru task ,,,,, " I Know " ,,,, Great Vid '

[@cathyjerome1662]

I agree ! I clean all bowls 2x week . Fresh water daily ❤

[@avaogara]

this so fun to watch love to see your daily routines. lol peaches water again .looks like mud lol she shure gets it dirty

[@juelz713]

Someone in PetSmart told me they banned selling milk snakes in Illinois. They are starting to make it hard to keep reptiles in Illinois

[@reptiliangarden]

I haven’t heard of this! Any reason why? That’s so strange.

[@calicocriterisopod]

Why? I’m from california

[@samb1055]

Something I've heard (I don't have my own reptiles, yet) is that you can put old pennies (solid copper) in your reptile bowls, and it will help prevent bacteria and algae growth. I'm sure there are additional considerations for each animal (can they swallow a penny? Is that specific reptile sensitive to copper?) but it might be something to look into. As a fish keeper, I know that algaecides frequently have copper in them, but I also know that some fish will die when exposed to copper (most notably goldfish).

[@reptiliangarden]

I have tried this, but I also heard doing this long term can be toxic as well. So I ditched the method 😅

[@autarisanimalhouse.2480]

Snake discovery does this, you may be able to talk to them more about it

[@Numocron]

Wow Tricia this is such an awesome video I love it.😃👍❤️

[@reptiliangarden]

I'm glad you like it!

[@LanaLeon]

You should time the misting for 2-3 minutes for a chameleon enclosure. Just mist once before the lights are on, and in the evening after the lights are off. They don’t like to be sprayed on their body or face…

[@avaogara]

ooh i use a toothbrush also to clean my society finches cage..but i use dawn n warm water. will remeber the vinegar water hint ..for future bp

[@caitlynm8]

Can you make a video of a week of Peaches’ salads? I feel like that would be so cute :) Also love the video, always love hearing you and seeing your reptiles!

[@reptiliangarden]

Omg that’s such a cute idea! I can definitely do that!

[@calicocriterisopod]

@@reptiliangarden omg yess you should do like my reptile salads for a week that would be so freaking cute 😭

[@frankrelmar5903]

Great video kiddo thank you for sharing ❤

[@reptiliangarden]

Thank you ❤

[@cathyjerome1662]

Hi love all your vids . I was told not to spray during light on ! Vet says causes bacterial infection. Always spray b4 light go on

[@cathyjerome1662]

Have you heard this ? I've been misting when no lights

[@avaogara]

yes upgrade be nice ,water bowls for both bp snakes bet theyll soak ❤

[@LanaLeon]

2:52 you can be more gentle and spray the enclosure avoiding him. That’s not necessary, you’re stressing him. Also it’s better to have the lights out while you mist, it looks like clouds, gives them a warning that water is coming.

[@Bethany-b82]

I was thinking of doing the same thing in my torts enclosure 😅 (dumping the water) it drives me nuts every day! This video was the confirmation I needed

[@reptiliangarden]

I’m glad I was able to help! ❤ tortoises are more work than people would think 😅

[@Bethany-b82]

@@reptiliangarden so true 🤭

[@CarmenErickson-r4j]

Do you also use the repti drops to spray your chams?

[@LanaLeon]

Also girl, those super thin branches….. I mean basking branches should be confortable for them to just relax under the bulb. You should know this.

[@briabeardsley4465]

I have a corn snake and I’m trying to understand the UVB requirements but I’m having a hard time. What bulb do you use and do you have it mounted above the enclosure for bloom? I just don’t understand the difference between the wattage and the percentages and the different bulbs and I want to give her UVB but I am unsure what to get. Thank you!

[@MasovianReptiles]

Can i keep jeweled lacerta in 40 x 18 x 19” enclosure?

[@TheCoryAyers]

Thanks for sharing. Do you think keeping a copper penny (pre-1982) helps keep water cleaner? I've been told that it does. Also, what did you use to clean the glass? Was it a vinegar/water mixture?

[@reptiliangarden]

I did try that! Only problem is that I heard doing this long term can cause problems, so I don’t do it anymore 😅

[@saveriopanaccione996]

Yea thoses kind of bowls I’m slowly trying to not use since they aways get green.

[@reptiliangarden]

It’s so sad because I love how they look 😭

[@saveriopanaccione996]

@@reptiliangarden believe me I know they look natural but not worth it if they keep turning green

[@McIversMovies]

I'm awaiting my first ball python arriving; do you have any advice on how to maintain humidity? He'll be going into a 4x2x2 viv if that helps!

[@richardkelchjr.1954]

If it comes with a humidity shield, use that. If not, what I did, is get some of the HVAC tape (the silver stuff) and cover some of the screens. It will also make a difference if you are bioactive or not. You will just need to play with it. Trial and error. Get a hydrometeor/humidity gauge for sure.

[@reptiliangarden]

So exciting!! Make sure you have a good substrate that can retain moisture, a large water bowl that can take up a decent amount of surface area, live plants, then daily mistings should help! Is your enclosure pvc?

[@McIversMovies]

@@reptiliangarden Sorry for only just seeing this now! He arrived yesterday and is settling in well - it's a wooden enclosure however I've sealed it all with silicone and I'm using coconut husk with misting in the morning, afternoon and at night, seems to be working so far!

[@amyenglish4856]

I've never had an algae issue with my bowls? maybe its a different type of water thing here in the uk?

[@reptiliangarden]

Who knows! I’m glad you don’t have those issues as much!

[@metal4lifetime]

how can you get alghea in these bowls?? you know these need to be refreshed every few days right?

[@reptiliangarden]

I’m aware! And I do! Not sure why those two bowls seem to gather so much. I may try something else in the future.

[@lbeard7661]

@@reptiliangardenit’s all those windows I’m sure. My only water dish by a window at my house grows algae in literally a day or two.

[@metal4lifetime]

​@@reptiliangardendo you have uvb or full spectrum lights in the enclosures this happens? i had sord of the same water bowls and never had this happen,

[@calicocriterisopod]

Why did I smell the white vinegar through the screen

[@reptiliangarden]

😭😭😭😭 it is that strong 😂

[@dancewithjulie]

Can you do a video on baby bearded dragon diet please

[@michaelcychmistruk3899]

Nice video. Don't water too much they will grow too fast lol🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢

[@reptiliangarden]

Thanks for the tip 😂❤

[@LanaLeon]

1:30 your chameleon is too close from the UVB light, he can get burned!

[@LanaLeon]

If a chameleon “always wants to come out” it means there is something wrong with their enclosure. It could be bacteria or the environment isn’t right. That behaviour is romanticised, it’s just an unnatural behaviour. Check his enclosure closer, maybe he could be sick already.

Hello! HOW ARE YOU

Great! How are you?!
