hey everyone i don't do a lot of these but today we're doing an unboxing this is actually a really
cool species of reptile that i've been wanting for a really long time i did actually have one
for a very short period of time but due to a whole bunch of other events we don't have it
anymore so really excited we got a pair of them in well supposedly pair we'll talk a little bit
about that i don't have a cool giant box opener so i'm just gonna use a super really this really
dull kitchen knife and we'll get started shall we so these guys are an amazing species of
reptile i should say i'll explain it what it is in just a moment
and i've been looking for one for quite some time but the problem is they're really only available
just kind of at weird parts of the year they're just kind of available off and on
just kind of throughout we just i'm kind of at the mercy of the hobby unfortunately
so get rid of that got a little cool pack in here okay so
first one and this is the setup behind me by the way this 4x2 enclosure will give updates
as it goes along today i'm just doing the unboxing so it'll be a shorter video today
come here fly all right and here we go european legless lizard i've talked about this one
pretty often i talked about it in the uh reptiles of europe video if you guys want to check that
out you absolutely should and then go check out the playlist of all the other reptiles
that make good pets from around the world on every other continent
these guys unfortunately are almost all wild collected or wild caught so when they come in
they have to be kept for a little while make sure they're stable and then we get them in
they're really hard to tell whether or not they're male or female so a lot of people
uh keep a small group of them and watch the behavior check for mating things like that
and kind of sort them otherwise i've heard things about like their head shape or other things but
i'm pretty sure the only way you can really tell is either with a dna test or by proving them by
breeding but with that being said um i know that they can be housed communally if given space
and lots of opportunities to get away from each other and to be fed really well so i'm going to
put them into this 4x2 enclosure behind me but if not i have another enclosure set up ready to roll
part in the iguanas just crashing down to the ground on the background and dog's parking in the
background as well but i'm going to put this one in and then we're going to open up the other one
all right so that's one just says two okay oh it says male on there whether or not that's actually
true or not we'll see as i mentioned before uh they're really hard to they're really hard
to sex and again apologies for the dogs in the background so this one says female i don't know
if that's true or not that'd be really cool if it ended up being that we get a pair but let's get
into here again apologies for the dogs parking here we go this one's a little bit smaller but
looking really lively coming out got those nice little tongue flicks if you actually i don't
i don't know if she'll do it but if you can tell it's actually a really slight fork at the
very end like it's a little tiny little fork i'm not sure if phil if she'll do it or not and i'll
do a whole species spotlight about these guys i just want to get them nice and established first
uh before they go before we really start talking about them because i've done an
extensive amount of research about them but i've never actually kept them for long periods of time
so this will be a fun experience for all of us and i greatly look forward to keeping these guys
being able to hopefully use them for educational animals and educational purposes and doing shows
and presentations and just to have this really cool species of reptile in the hobby again sorry
for the stupid dogs i know i keep mentioning that but we're gonna get these guys in here and this
is again going to be a much shorter video just an unboxing talking about this really cool species of
animals a big thank you to goodguy reptile i think is good guy reptile that i got these guys from
um really cool very personal big shout out to them greatly looking forward to these guys thank
you so much you did a great job packaging these especially doing you know it's getting warmer
and shipping and everything going on like that so we're gonna get this one in here
and i'm actually gonna add because it looks a little like there's a bunch of cork bargain in
there it's a little sparse i actually have another really big tube that i'm gonna throw in there to
give them more places to hide and get around and move around each other but with that being said
let's shut this so they don't wander out while i'm talking because that's been known to happen before
um but thank you guys i'm really excited for this i know it's been it's been a very long day for me
because we have to go pick them up in denver so it's i've been up since this morning and it's
now late evening but really excited to get these guys just a little tired sorry about that again
but please look forward to some really cool updates as we see these guys move along
i may determine whether or not they're a pair if they're cohabitating really well
different behaviors about that as well as the species spotlight for them down the road and i may
encompass that all in one video just to make it a little bit of a better presentation for you guys
but i'm super excited for this guys this is going to be really cool let me know if any of you guys
have kept these and like give me different ideas of how if you've kept them before i've talked to
quite a few other people who have kept them for long periods of time but i'm always hoping to
hear some other really cool tips and tidbits and ways that have worked for other people so if you
guys have kept these for a long period of time let me know down below and tell me like how you
set them up and how they did and different little cool idiosyncrasies and behaviors that they had
hope everyone is having a great day thank you so much for your watching for your support for
everything like that and we hope you're having a great day and we'll check you next time
