A friend of mine kept a California kingsnake and 2 tarantulas in his barracks. He did that knowing it's prohibited per the military. He got away with it because the walk-in closet where he stored his clothes are considered his personal items where it was mandatory that he buy his own lock to secure his valuables; therefore it's not subject to the inspection for cleanliness lol. I would like to reiterate that this is not me but a friend of mine who's in the military. Yes.. a friend.

[@dakotaalexander9292]

I did the same thing. I had a tarantula and a crested gecko when I was at fort Campbell. Funny thing was when I got them I had two of my friends with me and they thought I was high 🤣

Both of my roommates were absolutely TERRIFIED of reptiles, I brought a crested gecko home and they held him and going on about how soft he is etc. They've even volunteer to take care of him when I'm out of town. Crested geckos are the absolute best reptile!!! [Update] she laid an egg!!

[@maciejgronowski]

Whrn i was at uni (second year - i a rented house, not student accommodation) I kept tarantulas, african bullfrog, beetles, scorpions, mice, ball python, corn snake, geckos, chickens, ducks and more 🤣 only had to get rid of all indoor animals when I got married...

@@WickensWickedReptiles no problem man you deserve more popularity then you get...

[@reganmae]

he really is great and deserves more popularity. though so many titles have confused me with like "are ball pythons really that great" or something like that

[@derpro8125]

I just knew the hognose snake would be on this list! I keep a male one myself, and he's really awesome and outgoing for being so small. I can also recommend a fire skink as a blue tongue alternative, if you want a smaller, but awesome and reasonable reptile for a small space and don't mind keeping feeder insects.

[@HeavenlyiceDream]

i have Hobi , my evans hognose and 2 garters. Hobi is soo outgoing. he taps on the glass when I get home from work wanting to be let out to crawl all over me and my desk. best snake ever

[@derpro8125]

@@HeavenlyiceDream Mine named Egon is crazy curious and wants to interact with just about everything he can when outside by rubbing his nose against it. He tests his strength against my fingers by trying to lift them. He also seems to have an obsession with keeping his enclosure as it is, as moving around anything makes him cranky for days while he also becomes way more hissy and seems to be pushing the items back to where they are supposed to be with his nose. He's otherwise very chill, and comes to my hand when I put it into his his area without provoking a feeding response. He's very easy to handle and introduce to strangers when he's outside.

[@mindibun8160]

Thank you. Finally; someone with sense.

[@blackonyx9842]

My personal pick for my apartment reptile (and first-ever reptile pet) was a Mexican Black Kingsnake, and I’ve never looked back. Maybe not the best for tiny spaces, since he uses every corner of his 120 gallon tank, but I personally wouldn’t go smaller than that with a corn snake, either, and corn snakes tend to get rather longer and are also active anyways. I cannot say enough good things about kingsnakes; if you’re not afraid to maybe get munched on by a tiny mouth, their beauty, ease of care, hardiness, and bold personalities easily make them a top-tier small snake.

[@LiamLivesOn]

I'm in a house share, one issue with keeping snakes is that either you will either have to buy a separate freezer or have to have really cool house mates that are cool with you keeping mice or rats in the shared freezer 😅

[@Sienenenenena]

I put the bag of mice in a paper bag so nobody can see the mice

[@stevennguyen4993]

Yeah, I just let them take the L. Fortunately, my roommates are all males so their amount of fcks to give are a lot more flexible.

[@ElessarEstel]

My wife wasn't okay with me keeping rats in the freezer so I decided to buy my own deep freezer specifically for rats. I lucked out and my neighbor moved and left theirs by the side of the road like a week before I was going to buy my own lol

[@Shiiki_Gacha]

I’m ok with it if my roommate has one lol😂

[@Madashell-dh3ce]

It's about $40 for a mini freezer

[@tigergumby]

I'm almost at two weeks with my first snake, which is also a hognose! He's eating great and seems pretty well settled. I love him!

[@Kvs-vf9nt]

How's he/she doing now? I own a California Kingsnake aberrant male that's 66% het for albino (but I don't plan to breed with him, he's my family). Also he's born June 29 2020 and I have him since August 24 2020 and he's 110cm now and lives in an 80 gallons enclosure.👍🐍 I really love snakes.

[@eeveegirl1334]

Who gave you the hognose bug was it Adam or a different TY person; for me it was 2 channels Exotics Lair and SnakeDiscovery.

[@Joshs.exquisite.serpents]

I was literally waiting the entire video for the old "don't bite my ear". Diamond didn't disappoint as usual! 😂 I keep 5 snakes and 2 birds in a small room with a king-sized bed. All of them have big enclosures and I've rearranged the room twice to make space for more whilst aquiring them 👌 To say I'm looking forward to getting a bigger place is an understatement!! Loved the little bit in the middle showing your frog enclosures, they are beautiful 👍 top content as always!

Ok one more: I actually think the solution to loud frogs is to just intermittently play loud frog calls on KZbin and then sometimes turn them off and sometimes don't turn them off. It's certainly no worse than my neighbor who currently plays the same song over and over and sings along loudly and off key, or my other neighbors who played Forza at 2AM every day.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

yeah i think any reasonable person wouldn't complain... but also I used to live above someone who would call the cops if I played electric guitar.... without an amp... just the most silly person

[@judahnavidad8250]

I bought a baby leopard gecko a few years ago. Started with a 10 G terrarium and upgraded it to a 20 G a year ago. My mother and father didn’t like her at first, but now they adore her and are now taking care of her while I’m in college. I was thinking about getting some type of reptile once I start renting out an apartment or living off campus, so this list is very helpful. Great video 🙏🏼

[@a.harrington1634]

As someone who lives in a studio apartment, I do have forbidden skittles (St. Isabel tree frogs). They do call, but it sounds so quiet and squeaky that half the time I forget it's them making the sound. Plus, I agree about the beautiful spaces. Their terrarium let me combine my plant lady tendencies with my love of amphibians.

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

adorable!

[@kayleemcbay1200]

Haha me right now in my room with 5 gallon betta tank 3 gallon shrimp tank and 30 gall fish tank n bout to add 120 bearded dragon n want collard lizard in 50 n have them all in my room cause we have woodstove for heat but heater in room lol

[@sbird8675]

I totally agree with cresties being #1. My room has a huge window which keeps it quite warm year round, so no additional heat source required, diet is super easy, and he's very sweet and docile. Only tricky thing in the beginning was humidity if I've got a fan going in my room, but that's easy to counter with a small humidifier.

[@nightinggale6470]

How warm does the enclosure get?

[@mckinleyt98]

i also like the idea of a blue tongued skink for an apartment/dorm situation because 1) your roommate probably won’t be afraid of it like they may be afraid of a snake, and 2) it won’t get loose and hide like a snake could, which could be an even bigger issue than normal in a shared space

[@Avocetexotics]

I loved the video! Honestly though, once you go to 4x2x2 enclosures, you could keep so many animals. So many different snakes and lizard (and even frogs) would do great in 4x2x2, bit I get the concept of other care requirements being considered as well. I'd definitely say my easiest reptile that I have is my crested geckos!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Good point!

[@metaknight115]

67 gallon (48*18*18) enclosures are up there as well when it come to snakes, corn snakes, king snakes, smaller ball pythons, rat snakes, dwarf Burmese pythons, pine snakes, dwarf boas, male Central American boas, and more. Not sure about lizards. You could get away with bearded dragons and keep those lizards that are kind of like small bearded dragons, but I’m not sure about anything else.

[@strangestereo]

I'm a teen living in a tiny apartment with my two parents and on-and-off sister. A plains hognose snake is PERFECT. They don't need super big enclosures, especially as babies, they're good to get people afraid of snakes unafraid because of their adorable faces, and they're awesome for handling. Highly reccomend.

[@jessicagifford2691]

I have a male Western Hognose in my small apartment and he's perfect!! (as well as a few ball pythons..) I would also say that Rosy boas, Rubber boas (if you can find one), and Kenyan sand boas would be other perfect little snakes for a small apartment or dorm!

[@ConniieBearrr]

Great list, totally agree. Love guessing your next answer on these types of list, and was able to guess that cresties would be number one! I live in a apartment and have cresties!

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@kriskirchner3373]

My crested gecko has been one of my favorites to keep and has been pretty low maintenance in the bio active set up. It’s my first reptile and I really like having the height to play with rather than floor space. I’m in a small one bedroom apartment so only have one book shelf for tanks, so I have my crestie and is 10 gallon tanks I have a tomato frog, Pac-Man frog, and a fire belly toad. I got them all on a similar feeding schedule and all are bio active so it’s all pretty easy to maintain.

[@anthroterra7223]

Agree 100% on crested being #1. I’d have added sand boas too, if you get a nice curious one that at least periscopes sometimes.

[@JoaoE97]

I have my crested gecko in my apartment and it's the best pet I've ever had! What an amazing and easy animal to have. I live with a friend and he loves Kuzko too and never bothered him at all! Glad they made the list tho it was obvious they would.

[@adamturner749]

From watching Adam’s videos I’ve learned so so much about reptiles and I was once one of those people who was a little freaked out or scared by reptiles but now I think they’re beautiful animals with their own amazing personalities. I’ve changed my views so greatly I’m hoping to get a crested gecko very soon and that’s all through Adam’s amazing videos and care guides and I wanted to say a huge huge thank you for posting them and having such an amazing channel.

[@calewarner06]

[@o_o8203]

I just got an albino axanthic hognose baby boi partially thanks to your channel. He's so cute but I wasn't prepared for how much he stays under the aspen lol (it reminded me of what you said about sand boas being an expensive tank of sand) maybe its because hes still adjusting to the new place. He's above the aspen for about 30 minutes a day then hes back under the aspen for the rest of the day. I love when I see him scooching around his room, its so precious 🥺

[@WickensWickedReptiles]

they can hide a lot at first

[@o_o8203]

@@WickensWickedReptiles thanks, it just makes me nervous because I've never seen him drink and I haven't found any urates so far (although they could be blending into the aspen). He has 2-3" of lightly compressed aspen with undertank heating at approx 85F, a hide on the warm side, and a water bowl on the cool side with lots of leaves in between for cover.

[@verdantlocks860]

I just recently got a California King Snake, I love him! He's still relatively small, and I have him currently in a 24 x 18 x 12, I know he's going to need something bigger in the future.

[@metaknight115]

He big is he now, and what enclosure do you house him in. I’d recommend bare minimum a 40 gallon enclosure, since bare minimum the length plus the width should equal the full length of the snake. However, bigger would be more desirable such as a 75 gallon enclosure, preferably so your snake can stretch out or near enough (like, if your snake is 4’2 and the enclosure is only 4 feet long, it’s so little of a difference that it doesn’t really matter).

[@madsxolotl378]

[@michelleshaw1010]

Love this Top 5!! The crested gecko is what I'd have, if I could! I don't need a small space pet but love this for its smaller cost for set up and animal and I love the fact that the feeding is very simple. One question- do they small bad? The hognose was super cute too!!

[@oliviaward2908]

I would love a video on how to set up proper UVB for a crestie! I’ve seen it talked about more and more lately

[@deathstalkerzlo639]

I turned my college dorm closet into our iguana enclosure and my roommate and i just shared the other closet for clothes. Drilled a small hole for the cord of his sunlamp to make it to a nearby receptacle. Took fresh veggies from the cafeteria every morning to feed him. The RA never knew a thing and it was a sweet roomy setup which Rex thoroughly enjoyed.

There are so many reptiles that I do like and would want, northern blue tounged skink, crested gecko, mourning gecko, emerald tree skinks (Clint sold me on those) or pink tounged skink. But the more I researched, the more I really thought about it; my first reptile will be a hognose snake.

[@blakew5672]

100% on corn snakes. Low space requirements, easy care, very easy going nature. Just got a corn snake yesterday. The difference between it and the Cali king I had prior are night and day. The king took actual effort to get handleable, and even then it didn’t enjoy it. ALWAYS a threat display, ALWAYS musked on me, and spent all its time buried in the substrate. The corn is a bit skittish when you first try to pick it up (like most baby snakes are) but immediately calms down in the hand. I’ve not seen even the slightest amount of aggression either. Also naturally inquisitive, it’s not uncommon for it to be out of its hide exploring the enclosure. My experience with corn snakes so far has been enjoyable, while caring for the kingsnake always felt like a chore. If you have to choose between the two I’d highly recommend the corn.

[@6strings735]

You said it, and I vote for a male Plains (Western) Hognose as the best snake for a small space. Easy to hold (not squirmy), a small cage or a 20+ quart tub is plenty of room, tolerates a wide temperature range, fun to watch, once established will eat out of the hand, eats f/t mice and Repti Links if desired, etc. I really cannot think of any other commonly available captive produced snake that has all of those attributes in such a compact package. Great video!

i actually kept a male colombian boa in my apartment for the last couple years of college and it worked out great. he was a little guy, maybe 5.5 ft/1.7m, so i managed to give him a nice spacious enclosure. don't get me wrong, it took up half my bedroom and one of my closet doors wouldn't open. but all i had to do to compensate was put a bunch of stuff in storage bins and stick em under my bed. totally worth it imo.

I have a blue tongue in the living room, a bearded dragon in my bedroom and a couple crested geckos in my office. So where ever I am I have a lizard near me.

[@lorrainemunoa791]

Dropping a comment on this great video to add that African House Snakes are another option for people needing an easy to keep snake that doesn't need much space, as they are often smaller than corn snakes and take about the same care levels. Just be sure to get a well established eater juvenile if this is your first, since when they're babies up to a few months old, they can go off their food and be difficult to start/restart. Once they're feeding well, they're lovely little shy and chill snakes, with beautiful blue iridescence to win over snake-fearing people.

another great apartment amphibian: African Clawed Frogs (they are illegal in some US States though) can be housed in as small as 10-15 gallons, eat a prepared pellet diet, males aren't very loud when they sing.

[@Gamyeon]

Thanks for this video, it was helpful! I'm actually moving in a bigger apartment and informed the landlady that we intended to get a reptile eventually, asking if that would be a problem. We were expecting a straight-up yes or no. Instead, she replied to us that only salamanders, turtles and lizards (yes, I know one of them isn't a reptile) and later specifically wrote down on the lease that snakes were forbidden. That bummed us out because we had intended to get a hognose snake, and snakes seem to be easier maintenance than other reptiles. But we'll start researching on which type of lizards would fit us better (or wait until we can get our own place and have ALL THE HOGNOSES). Definitely thought about getting a crestie or a gecko though.

My White's tree frog boi croaks every single day, especially if I put on the water boiler, or if I laugh/talk to loudly. He seems very reactive to sound, so if I croak back at him he keeps going on. :D He's actually croaked since he was 3 months old. The females are also very talkative, but in a much more quiet manner. It's more of a chirp than a croak. Highly entertaining frogs.

Lol dorm master. RA Adam. I want my own apartment and a reptile so this is the perfect list for me. I’d also love a corn snake so I was glad to see that on here.

I was thinking Lecheanous gecko too along with crested geckos because of the super easy heat and diet requirements but I forgot they're big bois. Great video!

That's a great idea!

I have a native terrarium in the bedroom in a jar, it's easy to hide from my parents :))). There are a few small insects, a earthworm and moss, it's funny to watch how evolve day by day.

So I have had a variety of hidden in closet animals to apartment living. I originally kept leos exclusively for the first few years. When I first got them, I kept them in my fairly large closet in tanks and containers. Then they graduated to a shelf rack with individual tanks. Then I got crested geckos who also went on those shelves. Then I moved into an apartment and they were put in the living area and my room. Then I got a gargoyle gecko. I've also had emerald swifts. Now I have leos, cresties, a garg, ball python, corn snake and kenyan sand boas in one apartment. I'd say if you're only having one, any reptile under 10 feet should be more than reasonable, but I highly recommend the kenyan sand boas. The males don't need a large enclosure, they need higher heat, but not humidity, besides a hide for shedding. I personally keep mine in some fairly large, but short containers and they have more floor space than a 20 or 30 gallon enclosure. There's enough height for them to explore their hides and etc. Personally, they fit very well in a small space. Plus they're adorable, multiple morphs, don't have the average snake look- so most don't think they're as scary, and I haven't had any issues with handling or keeping temps right or feeding beyond skipping a week or two here and there. Leos though, will always be my first love and personally, a critter I think is fairly forgiving with it's care and space requirements, especially if you can build or make second story hides and ramps and so on.

Of course, I received permission for my reptiles and even have had the property manager over to hold them! If I didn't though, I wouldn't have moved there or they'd be very nicely hidden away in a fake dresser or something. Just saying. Where I go, they go and if they don't go, I don't go.

A 4x2x2 could also do double duty as a coffee table if you get a sturdy one (and probably a hood)
