What reptile would you buy if you had unlimited money?

[@rpetersen2]

Leucistic alligator snapper, or a Bob Clark high end retic to replace the one FWC forced me to sell outside the state after they illegally changed the class 3 permit law mid year in 2020. My last is a Croc monitor once I get a little more training with these monsters with tiger shark style serated teeth!! Love these guys!!!

[@DaveGrease-og8oo]

I'd pay for my Favorite Canadian Hobbyist. To come The Tri-State and school some of these guys !! Also to setup some enclosures and throw back a couple . Hit an expo and have unlimited bragging rights for all of 12 minutes !! 😂😂😂😂

[@BenjaminCuesta-tt7ge]

A super Rare Leachy , a parson chameleon, or a Deadpool line gargoyle from tikisgeckos

[@everypaneofglass]

A Vietnamese blue beauty bc I'm basic like that haha I just got my 'dream snake', a palmetto corn since they finally came down enough in price for me to not feel like a lunatic for buying one and I'm not super interested in owning a wide variety of reptiles or anything really rare or exotic. And I'm not interested in breeding, so getting investment animals isn't for me. So, if I had unlimited money, I'd dedicate a room to collecting cool morphs of corn snakes (my favorite snakes) and maybe throw in a blue beauty and a baron's racer as a treat.

[@SunnyLovetts]

Komodo dragon lol

[@KirstyMPearson]

Franky is my current reptile crush. He is just gorgeous.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

he's the man

[@davidwesley2525]

It Really Sucks that it is Legal to Own a Fiji 🇫🇯 Island Iguana in Canada 🇨🇦 But Illegal in the USA 🇺🇸. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

[@Life_With_Dragons]

Hey mate, Aussie perentie breeder here and we sell hatchlings for $4,000 a pop, adults are normally around the $2500-$3000 mark depending on age, also that’s my mates perenties in the video from dragon training mobile zoo 🤛

[@DeChane369]

NERD is relatively expensive in comparison for their animals but it’s all for a very good reason they do an incredible job at ensuring the animals health if it’s brought in from the wild or you have one of the best breeders out there. You should come down and visit! I’m right down the street from there

[@ashersamphibiansandreptiles]

If I had all the money in the world I would probably buy an Adam wickens! They are the best pet… like they don’t need a huge enclosure and just need a camera and they are set!

[@Mercedes_may]

I disagree, in addition to a camera they also need a lot of reptiles to keep them entertained, And a girlfriend😂

[@teddyroberts308]

😂😂

[@mattsowders4835]

Keep saying what you say and how you say it Adam. Don’t change who you are.

[@WickedWildlife]

I made it into your video! 😂 Lace monitors are my favourite lizards on earth, Lacies here are $400-$600 and Perenties go for $1500-$2500ish in my experience

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

[@brandibastian4193]

Is this account named after who you following cuz you got wicked from I guess this account and wildlife from Chandler

[@WickedWildlife]

@@brandibastian4193 actually I run a business called Wicked Wildlife, and have had that name since 2008 Plus we started this channel under this name over six years ago, but certainly a reasonable question

[@WickedWildlife]

@@brandibastian4193 fair enough question, but not at all, we run a business called Wicked Wildlife and had the name registered in 2008, plus have had the channel for over six years, it’s just a coincidence

[@nickphonewarehouse]

The Morph craze takes me back to when the first Toffee Royal Python was announced. think the guy in the UK paid £30,000 for it and then sold the hets alone for £11k. now they're like £200

[@ren2704]

2-3 years ago I saw in Paris largest reptile shop, Boelens babies sold for 4 or 5k euros. There is as well the bassist of the french metal band Loco Muerte that produces loads of Boelen babies every year ;)

[@joshuaedwards1366]

They're 12k for captive bred in the u.s

[@BGPythons]

I know Nico from the band and he has just had his first clutch in 14 years with his Boelens so he isn’t producing loads of Boelens each year, it would be great if he was and hope this clutch makes it.

[@ren2704]

@@BGPythons my bad then. Another guy told me he was producing babies and with the boelens Nicolas is showing on his amazing youtube channel, it seemed credible. Fingers crossed for this clutch then ;p

[@RMack-up2zc]

I want an armadillo girdled lizard so bad They’re are literally mini dragons and I love it

[@annareifer2249]

omg YESS they are sooooo cool and cute!

[@Inkedscales]

I remember seeing that trio of lace monitors on Kijiji. I was very interested in getting just one Bell phase but passed. Glad I did after what you just said.

[@Rileysparadox]

My best friend is a hybrid Salvadoran with Rhino and he is absolutely a blessing in my life.. The bond and his personality... money can't buy the relationship I have with my dragon. I'm humbled, grateful and lucky.

[@TheBlubunni]

Frankie playing peekaboo 😊🦎💚

[@Mr.PeanutSteve]

I wish Fiji Banded Iguanas were legal to own in the US. They are Gorgeous!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

they sure are!

[@kingju1ius]

franky fills my heart with something NO partner/lover could provide me with. i love franky

[@CrimsonKing-ox6ti]

I love all your videos you should do a video on false water cobras!! They are my dream reptile and I’ve done tons of research but you’re always the one I take the most advice from!!

[@Pushupman759]

I have a western fence lizard I think they are really cool

[@kennethmullen-qe9hg]

That was my entrance into the hobby! His name was Swifty!!! LmMFaO!!!!! ;) :P :o)

[@Pushupman759]

I am starting and his name is push up man

[@bullfrogjay4383]

I love cheap reptiles. Leaves me with more money for food, enclosure and husbandry needs. I appreciate the beauty of different morphs for sure and totally understand people spending big money on them though. I saw a Banana Spider Mojave ball one time and had to pick him up. He was super cool looking and chill.

[@Lilonika_]

Bells phase lace monitors are my favorite too. When i vending with my bf at an expo . I had an opportunity to handle some monitors & i handled 3 baby bells phase lace monitors & other cool species .

[@virginiamae4777]

Some of my dream reptiles: an anaconda. Probably a yellow, but even that is crazy expensive for housing. A reticulated python!! Same problem there. And lastly, blue tree monitors ❤ (and duh, a bell's phase lace!!)

[@TheNorthernHerper]

With all the money in the world I wouldn't buy an expensive animal, but I would pay for the full vet education of individuals specializing in reptile, amphibian and avian health. I'd also put money into owning an exotic vet clinic. Ontario needs a new model for veterinary care overall IMO.

[@InformalHistory24]

Great Video Baldy

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Blue_pikmin11]

9:18 Lol same that's why I watch your channel 😂

[@hbhalcomb]

Give me part 2 of celebrities with reptiles! I’m curious.

[@repccessories]

Im back from traveling and cant wait to binge the vids i haven't watched yet! Great vid! i agree with the huge price drop, you see it all the time!

[@BigGuyLevi9]

I got a crestie last august and it was fed wrong and would just get grabbed and wasn’t treated the right way. I got him repashy but I’m not allowed live food for him yet. I let him go for a bit and he hated me I though. But 3 days ago I hand fed him for the first time in months and he came all the way out. 2 days later I saw him out when I fed him again so I hand fed. Then the day after I see his head out (didn’t feed him though since it would be to often) hopefully sooner than later I’ll be able to handle him

[@heliumhubcryptocollective9337]

omg omg...u mentioned savannah monitors .. he mentioned them he mentioned them lol i can now die a happy man lol

[@bkm2797]

Yes, thanks Adam for making Frankie part of the video. Another really interesting mini class, and yes I would like to know more about what reptiles some famous people keep, Nicholas would be a good place to start. Thanks Adam, Frankie and Diamond👍

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

hey thank you!

[@jordanvargovich]

Great seeing clips of Brian. Also how about Tyler Nolans albino gabbon vipers

[@saralou123]

Frankie is bringing out so much cute aggression from me. 😂

[@KylesMonitors]

8:05 that listing was removed within minutes. The seller was also shamed all over social media. They trashed their reputation and nobody wanted to deal with them anymore. I haven't seen anything from them since and I hope nobody bought that monitor.

[@CroatiaSurvival]

I have a two headed tortoise hatchling in a jar. A friend of mine breeds T. hermanni and T. marginata and has around 250ish babies a year. This one died after 48 hours.

[@Danielalocasia]

We have the morph thing in the plant world with variegation. Some weird new variegation patern or color wil be found and sell for thousands. 4 years later its been tissue cultured into oblivion and they have it at home depo and walmart for $29.99

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Monstera Thai and Albo have entered the chat

[@bash_content]

Great video as always. If I am not the only one who want so much a care guide for chuckwallas, please consider making one) Am I the only one, guys?)

[@clistiarobinson34]

Sorry I'm alittle late I didn't get the notification I had to search for this. Great vlog as always. The purenties are so gorgeous I am so sorry if I spelled that wrong. I hope you and Trish have an awesome day and weekend.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

thanks so much for your support always!

[@stevereed5046]

Hi Adam, brilliant video as always. How about doing a piece on Prentice? Not something no too much about I know Australian big are they good pets? Obviously expensive but a nice bit of information will be great. Please keep the good work going. 2:28

[@YochevedDesigns]

I would love a small colony of Aldabra tortoises from Sam. The most expensive part would be owning enough property that they would have lots of room to roam around on. (And they are not legal in my country! 😭)

[@blip-2024]

Aldabra tortoise would be my "money isn't an obstacle" reptile

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Oh absolutely!

[@scootersreptiles]

Great now i gotta get permits to own a fiji banded iguana 😂

[@scootersreptiles]

@@davidwesley2525 I was looking at them online. I never saw anything on being state level only federal and that you need a permit to have them and a lot of paperwork. Which if I get my conservation area set up id definitely go through all that work 😂

[@torIIgo]

I wish I could have a Fiji so badly! Too bad I live in Texas, though.

[@bazamere]

My dream reptile would be a black throated monitor... I just love their big chonky faces 😊 but would probably need to build an extension onto my house 😂

How did I miss this video lol, epic content WWP!

[@nathanbeverly1714]

Imagine what it must feel like when you are holding your animal and talking with your hands at the same time. Must be like a bad ride at an amusement park.

They're awesome. I just bought an adult pair that I'll be making some videos on very soon

[@xxxx9815]

​@@KylesMonitors the animal collage I'm going to have a pair of them, im so excited to work with them!

[@brandonhartfield992]

Where do you purchase the radiant heat panels that you use in your ball python setups. I’ve been watching your channel for a while now ,and I got my first ball python. I wanted to use the same heat setup that you have. I couldn’t find a link or where you may have mentioned the exact one in a video.

[@natekelley2000]

My dream reptile is the northern green anaconda 😅 or a saltyyy 😅😅😅

[@beenherebrforemurry6365]

Croc monitors anywhere from 6k to 12k . In the uk

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Crazy!

[@giacalonebuilding4443]

I want some brush pythons. I’m not sure how expensive they are or even where to get some but giant arboreal diurnal pythons? Yea count me in lol.

[@giacalonebuilding4443]

Also Amazon puffer snakes, they are so bad ass

[@TheDisplacerBeast]

What was up with the lace monitors? (If you can say)

[@BradStudet]

please make a uromastyx video

[@gratuitousumlaut1944]

Assuming that all the money in the world = can afford to house and feed them and give them all the time their care needs? Tegu... there are more expensive animals on my dream list, but it's the time that really stops me with lizards in general. Snake sitters are much easier to find and their care is a lot less per day.

[@buckfutter99]

Build an Olympic sized indoor pool 30 ft deep with marine iguanas. Pay for full time staff and have its food flown in daily. From halfway around the world. Entire building would imitate the natural habitat down to humidity, current, salinity. Yeah that should burn through a billion dollars.

[@nexusexotics]

I wish you could send you 1 of my gecko. Come see them they're nice!

[@Marktec]

Albino Green Tree Pythons. Less than 100 ever known to exist.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Crazy right

[@johngriffin5446]

I would get a blue anole colony

[@MitchellDavis-mq4no]

Hi Adam how are you doing today

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

great and you?

[@DrakeDragonheart]

Are you in Canada? In US most monitors cost a fair bit less. Even the bells phase and lanthanotus. Whereas I’ve yet to see fijis or naultinus available.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

I am in canada yea. No Fijis in teh USA, well, not legally anyway

[@GrizzlyDave85]

Someday I’ll get a caiman lizard!

[@vickiwatchulonis5535]

Hi Adam. Enjoy your channel. If an animal from another country is rare (Amazon tree boa) can it still be bought in the US?

[@ritger563]

Do you think ten years from now Boelens pythons will become affordable to the average Joe? Kinda like ball pythons did over the years? You should do a video on reptiles you think are really expensive but in ten years could possibly become affordable enough most people could have one!

[@dljprogun]

12:50 Saltwater crocodile If money is no issue bigger is better and the Saltwater crocodile has it. And I would probably name him Steve Irwin.

[@zacg_]

While the reptiles aren't necessarily expensive, some can be so expensive to house and keep that I'd say they fit this category. For me, if money was no object I'd get an Asian Water Monitor but I'd give it a large zoo type exhibit with a large pond and glass under water viewing to see into the pond. I'd also do the same with a few crocodilians (including the underwater viewing.) They'd basically need their own building. That's why it's a dream.

[@KylesMonitors]

That's the best way to keep them. I see more and more people holding off until they're totally set up and ready, and that's a great thing.

[@Guuzaka]

0:26 Winning the lottery.... 🤑💸💸💸 4:55 "I'm literally bleeding on my head" That is the power of dragon claw! 🐉🩸 9:10 Would not be a list of luxury without the glorious Boelen Python. 👑💎🐍🌴 12:50 Boelen's Python, Pied Burmese Python, Magpie Blood Python to name a few potentials. 🤑🛒

[@brucebrazaitis321]

Hundred Flower Rat snake. , Think of a gray rat snake that someone put red nail polish on the top of its head. Radiated tortoise,. I would love to get Blomberg's toads. Of course if I had money I could hire people to help with the maintenance ! More important than the animals!

[@singingwolf3929]

Honestly, if I had the money, I'd probably end up building giant enclosures for all the reptiles I want, even if they don't "need" the space. 😂 Retics, balls, boas, hogs, and maybe some green trees.

[@ameliaalva1549]

I would buy a Lace monitor if I had all the money in the world. They are my dream reptile and the only time I saw one for sale in the U.S. was $10,000$ dollars online.

[@KylesMonitors]

They aren't that expensive now. I know a few people that breed them and they usually sell for $4000-$6000 depending on the market. There's a Bell's phase for sale right now for $4000

[@jasonirelan-ig5fl]

Brian's not there, but Ben and Jerry might be even though I doubt they sell ice cream to people to go to the zoo.

No object? A Komodo wearing a crown, surrounded by a small army of large melanistic and albino monitors of other species. Not even close. They'd eat like 10 turkeys a day and have a whole ranch in Arizona or something

[@maggiepie8810]

If I had all the money in the world, I would definitely get a big monitor. You can get Savannah monitors captive bred in Sweden, there's an amazing lady who is breeding them here.

[@Blackratsnake]

So why exactly was the offer for 3 Lace monitors too good to be true? If you're allowed to share?

[@speedyjustice4u]

Thats easy Radiata Tortoises Theyre big but not as big as sulcatas or aldabras

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

I agree!

[@tacocruiser4238]

I saw a guy who owned a Komodo Dragon. It was still very young so it posed no threat. But I would imagine the adult dragons would kill their owner without hesitation if given the opportunity.

[@ineverrage4176]

Probably an asian water monitor. The animals themselves are pretty expensive, but that's nothing compared to the massive enclosure with the heated and filtered pond they require.

I would say aisan water monitor beacuse you need water too

[@michaeltaube7554]

An Albino Amercan Alligator would be mine

Also when you mentioned two-headed reptiles I immediately started thinking about that little baby some type of garter that Emily and Ed had a couple years ago that sadly failed to thrive you know garter snakes are about quantity over quality and by the way Emily and Ed have bread related snakes before but it'll be like maybe just once you're not going to keep breeding back like the targaryens cuz that will cause problems it's more like Lannister inbreeding
