Welcome back to episode sev-seven (chuckles)
of rating your reptile stuff.
Your rooms, your enclosures, whatever you post on Instagram
with #GoHerpingReview. (laughing)
It's been a while,
I'm kind of scared what there's gonna be.
But if you want, you can post something,
and I might give my opinion on whether I like it or not.
Just whatever I think.
Starting off with a leopard gecko in a cat carrier,
within a baby tent, a rabbit?
I don't know if that's for human babies or...
Sometimes I wonder if people personify
their reptiles a little too much.
Like in all of my gecko's cases,
I think they would rather just be in a hide.
I mean, technically he is in a hide.
Is he enjoying this?
I don't know, I can't say.
I can't read his mind and I don't know this gecko.
So three stars to start it off
because we need a baseline.
Moving on. (laughs)
This perspective just makes me uncomfortable.
And I really don't like it.
It makes me feel weird.
Two stars.
What is this?
I'm scared, and now I'm more scared.
What was that?
Okay, that was epic.
Five stars.
We've got a salamander, technically counts,
I mean, it's not a reptile.
But you see, the term amphibian is not very search friendly.
So I always just use reptile, even if it's an amphibian.
He kind of just looks like a side quest,
which I kind of like, so I'm going to give it four stars.
Okay, we've got an actual room, or half a room.
It's quite cute.
It looks very, it looks like that section at Target,
like with the really overpriced furniture.
I like the section, it's just, it's out of my price range.
Like the chair and stuff.
It's very cute though.
And it's all live plants.
A lot of people do the fake plants.
I like this.
Why is there a mirror, is that a mirror?
Why you want to stare at yourself at the desk?
I thought I had a big ego, anyway.
It's cute.
It's actually it's, I like it.
So four stars.
Nothing more needs to be said.
Nothing more needs, nothing.
This is really cool too.
A spot the tortoise, oh God.
Is he in the first picture?
Is that a security camera?
I literally don't, where is it?
I don't know where it is.
It's a really pretty enclosure though.
So another four stars, a 4.1 stars.
But I don't know where the tortoise is.
Oh boy, this happened.
Is this a day gecko?
This, I've had the issue with day geckos getting out.
They are so, they're very pretty,
but they're so insanely fast.
And the worst part is their skin is so sensitive,
it's so delicate.
Like they're not meant to be touched.
They don't exist to be touched.
And, is that it?
Oh, and so, like literally their skin can rip,
and I've had it happen the first few times,
because we would end up in these situations.
And it was like, what else can I do other than grab it?
But actually this is pretty big brained, I did not do this.
And it looks like its skin is intact.
They're not for me.
They're very pretty.
I like to see them.
And that was a much better way of doing it.
So four stars, let's keep on the four-star streak.
Can it continue?
No, it's a dog.
Why is there a dog in #GoHerpingReview?
One star, moving on.
Why?
We were on such a good streak.
What is this?
Why is there a crab?
Wait, can you keep, can you just keep crabs?
Sometimes people like take images online
and they're like, look at this bad enclosure,
give your thoughts.
And I'm like, wow, that's bad, you're right.
I think this is their enclosure.
I joke around with the one stars,
but this is a legitimate one star.
Please redo all of it, thank you.
Oh my God.
My bedroom and reptile room.
I'm also a doll collector, not a minimalist.
There's a lot of images here, let's proceed.
Okay, we got an invertebrates, I assume.
Maybe a reptile in there.
Tarantula,
scorpion,
hognose, I think.
Even some fish, there's a big variety.
Oh my God. (sighs)
Did you purposely use flash just to make this uncomfortable,
or is it just a really dark room?
Because if I go in the room,
like say the hallway light's on,
I opened the door and that hallway light
like, goes through the crack
and flashes on this single doll, I would lose it.
Ball python.
There's a lot happening in this room.
There's a lot of different animals.
So I'm gonna give it five stars,
because if I give it anything less,
I feel like a curse is gonna be put on me.
I don't know if they're great dolls, or like,
it looks like a high quality collection.
It's very organized.
They're all, they're there.
It stands out a lot.
It's a very memorable one.
And I actually really like it.
It's better than just the generic room.
So I'm gonna stick with five stars for my own safety.
But before we continue rating,
this video is sponsored by Curiosity Stream.
Curiosity Stream has thousands
of award-winning movies and TV shows.
Think Netflix or Hulu,
but with exclusives and originals specifically curated
for people into science, history, nature, space, and more.
The show "Life at the Limits" kind of reminds me
of those like addicting documentaries
we used to see on like the nature channel late at night,
but super modern, and super high quality.
And then there's the show, "Doug to the Rescue,"
which is just a dude saving dogs in natural disasters.
And I'm sure you'd really like both of those shows.
Personally, I just recently watched "Packing For Mars"
'cause I'm a bit of an Elon, okay.
And if you use my code, and the link in the description,
you can start watching now on any device
for a whole year, for 14.99.
So if you wanna sit back, stream as much as you want,
while being entertained,
and learning a bunch at the same time,
on your computer, TV, phone, whatever you got,
go check 'em out.
But now I need to hand out some more stars.
I'm kind of glad this is next.
It's like a little bit of
eye bleach.
It's very cute on its own.
It would be like, okay, cool.
Three, three star, like a cute little hide and stuff.
But the fact that we came from this makes me like it more so
four stars.
Also Goldie, my leopard gecko,
I did a video,
I'm building a leopard gecko enclosure using only TJ Max
products.
And he had one of these
and he literally never leaves.
It's impossible to get him out.
Like he comes out to eat and drink.
I have no control over where he is because I can not get
into it.
It seems to worse with the hognose almost.
Oh no, no mistakes.
Only happy accidents. Yeah.
This here is definitely a happy accident. I'm joking.
It's fine. I mean, is it fine? Okay.
It's a red-eared slider and a map turtle.
Oh, I see it's back there.
It's kind of small.
Like my checklist of like turtle stuff is,
space obviously.
And then is the water safe, and then,
is there enough basking spots, for each turtle?
Do the turtles get along? Is there UVB and heating?
Making sure the substrate isn't so small that they can
digest it. Technically this checks all the boxes,
except it seems kind of small to me.
So I'm going to say three stars.
I think they deserve more space than that,
but basic turtle enclosure could be a lot. It could be,
it could be this.
Okay.
I should probably stop harassing that single person so much.
This I'm guessing this is geckos breed. Yeah.
Breeder geckos.
I appreciate how organized it is.
I'm guessing these are the adults.
And then these are like the offspring.
Maybe they're going to sell them or something.
This is cool.
It's fake plants.
But like sometimes that's best,
the thing about fake plants
with cresties is they poop on all of it.
'Cause if it's like a live pothos
you just take the leaf off or
let the leaf die and then take it off.
I just don't like cleaning them, but they,
it looks cool.
And it's a nice little project
and it looks kind of fun.
Four. But it's a crestie.
So three.
I've never actually.. what is this?
I've kept so many 'acanthosauracapras'
and this one is very cool too.
I don't, I've never seen this before.
I like it though, it stands, it's very dinosaur.
So four stars!
I don't really know what I'm rating reptiles based on,
but back to a room.
That sounds cool.
Pale's scales, pale scales.
It's like the opposite of Emerald Scales.
It's a very pale room, very mute.
But I like it. It's not just bleach white.
It's a very neat room and clear to look very good.
It's very magazine like, which I think is a good thing.
And it looks insanely immaculate in here.
4.5,
Eh, 5 stars.
I guess. Why not get five stars?
The first thing I see is this bearded dragon plush.
It kind of scares me.
I so badly want to sell plushes.
I want them to get them made so much.
The one quote I've gotten is it's like $30,000.
It's a ton of plushies.
It would be like a thousand plus plushies.
I don't need that many plushies.
I'm going to find plushies though.
And it's going to look better than this one. No offense.
Is that my face? Wait, hold on.
I need context here. Okay.
'Hey Alex, you gave my Musk turtle's tank
a five-star review.'
I don't remember doing that. But that's cool.
'I will be upgrading when she gets bigger.
She also has a camera so I can watch.'
Oh yeah.
There's a camera right here. Is that a pet cube?
I think, yeah.
I reviewed a pet cube.
She, (stammers, chuckles) I can't read.
She has an old phone set up
as a TV to watch goherpingreviews.
That's amazing.
That's a five-star yeah. Wait, where's the,
I guess I should actually look at the enclosure first.
We're starting at five stars.
Let's see if the enclosure brings it down or if you're going
to keep your five-star streak. There's the beardy,
it's very small compared to the enclosure,
which I think is cool.
And it's got everything, normally, yeah, it's like four,
four and a half stars. Not crazy,
but I want to keep the five star streak going and also my
face is in it.
So it is an automatic five stars.
Two for two. Can you do three?
We'll find out in episode eight.
If everyone likes this video.
This is a cool room.
I like that.
It's a very nice, it's a lot prettier than my cat tree.
It's right there. It's kind of ugly compared to this.
Okay. Let's see.
What else we got? Is that a pink couch?
Normally I don't like green walls,
but it really works in here. I must say.
It's very neat.
Very like literally neat and also neat to look at there's
dolls here too. Now I'm just kind of scared.
I'm going to start seeing dolls everywhere. Also,
this isn't in English and I, maybe they're...
I have no idea what they're saying. It's a four-star room.
It's a solid four-star room.
I will take this room, and now we have a five-star room.
Look at this wall.
That's the most beautiful wall I've ever seen.
It's not how I would set up the animals,
but I'm not here for that.
Do you have any more pictures of your house? Look,
they even use their house as an aesthetic.
They're using the wall as a background. Look at this.
Look at that's so great. It's so much gray.
I really like gray.
Gray is a pretty color, like look past the crestie.
You just kind of look around. Ooh, that's pretty nice.
That's that's a cool room. That's a nice couch too.
Okay. Sorry.
I'm getting sidetracked. And it averages out to a three.
How about that?
I've never showed a quarantine set up,
but honestly this quarantine set up is better,
than a lot of the enclosures we see.
So shout out to their quarantine set up. Yeah.
Even Moongirl X3 said,
'Finally could quarantine set up'
I agree.
Another cool room. This one's a lot more simple.
They've got those Zen habitats.
I did a Zen habitat review,
I gave it a bad review and over $5,000 was spent on
Zen habitats using my code.
After I gave them a bad review.
You literally don't care about my opinion at all. I said,
don't buy this product.
And you went out and spent $5,000 on Zen habitats.
I'm glad a lot of people like them because more better
products, the better.
Maybe I almost have enough credits to buy another.
So I guess I could do a second review,
cool room though, around three, three and a half stars.
Just because there's a lot of competition here,
but there's nothing wrong with the room.
This hurts my eyes.
Oh my God. This is a lot of stuff,
how do you walk around?
You just climb the furniture?
It looks like you got a lot of cool stuff, but I mean,
it is just a small room which I've experienced.
Like you fill every room up with reptile stuff and then
you're stuck putting all your personal belongings in a
very small space.
And it kind of hurts my eyes with the LEDs though.
Three stars.
'Cause I don't really know what's going on.
Cool plushie shelf though.
I know a lot of you see me as the manliest man on YouTube,
but I would rock this room.
Everything from the art, to the colors, to the plushies,
to the bed, the curtains,
this is a.. everything matches in this room.
When I was a kid just like living in my parents'
home, I was like, oh, like,
you should make these things match and you should make this
room match. And then when I got my own place,
I realized how hard it is to make everything match.
Cause you have to.. it takes a lot of work,
but you accomplished it. Is there a reptile?
Yeah. There's a reptile.
Cool. A reptile too!
It's a five star room.
Enclosure's just fine.
It's like, yeah.
Neat enclosure. But I'm here for the room.
Let's be honest.
This looks claustrophobic.
I don't know if it's a very low ceiling or very high
enclosures. I think it's just high and a high bed.
I think everything's just so elevated.
It looks like I'm about to bump my head on the ceiling,
on the amazing ceiling pattern.
You took advantage of every square inch of this room,
but in a way that you can actually walk around,
unlike a few of the others.
So I think that's a neat 13 by..
Oh my God. I literally needed to practice reading.
It is rather filled with a small zoo,
but this is how I keep all my animals.
In a 13 by 12 foot room.
That's cool, that is really neat.
I think it's a good job. It's not the prettiest room ever,
but four stars because you make it work and it still looks
pretty organized. It's pretty cute.
I haven't looked at much fan art recently.
I probably should. I really like it.
Nevermind. Why did, why?
Any picture?
Just, this is not the only picture of me on the internet.
Just letting you know.
That's a pretty leopard gecko,
but sometimes it's hard to
come up with opinions when all the leopard geckos
look the same, but this one stands out.
Do they have more pictures?
It almost looks like a filter though. No.
Well there's their hand.
Their hand would look weird if it was a filter. Wow.
I've never seen a leopard gecko like this.
Pure gold geckos. Sorry,
I'm getting sidetracked, but I want to see them.
You normally you have to pay a lot of money to get time in
my video with products.
$1,600!
It's okay.
No one will buy it. I'm just kidding,
it might be worth this.
I have no idea what these are valued at.
Pure gold geckos bikini top.
I don't know how I feel.
If I was like at the pool and someone had my logo on
their bikini,
what I want to know is how many of these you've sold.
You got to diversify.
All right, moving on.
Got distracted.
What's this, a boa, some sort of boa?
I don't know. Oh, it's just a BCI, I think.
Not just. They're cool. I like them.
This is a neat enclosure.
It looks very high quality.
A lot of times people just throw together like the cheapest
plywood.
But I wonder if this is a conversion or if it's made from
scratch. I like, I like the plants and everything.
It's cool. It's a,
it's a four-star episode except for a few one stars.
This is a four star as well.
This is a very specific theme as well,
but very different.
It's not my theme, but I kinda like it.
It all fits.
I assume they must be in like Arizona or something.
They've got the little cactus. Wait, what room is this?
Turtles? Can't complain.
Hope it isn't too small. I can't see the turtles.
So I honestly have no idea. Maybe it's a bedroom.
It looks kind of like a waiting room for like a kind of
weird massage place or like an pretty decent acupuncture
place. It's cool though.
I mean that as a compliment.
Here we got a kitchen, kitchen we've made.
Eat. Just eat.
Why is it sideways? Wait, why are they..
Oh, wait, you posted the pictures in reverse and side.
You managed to build this kitchen and you can't post
the pictures on Instagram correctly?
It's very pretty though. It's nicer.
Oh, actually I have a clip of..
I prepared. Yeah.
Here's here's my kitchen now. The new one.
I mean, most of this was already here.
I had to buy a new fridge. So I got the cool Samsung one.
It's actually not a very good fridge, but it looks neat.
I'm happy with this kitchen.
I'd like to redo a lot of it, at the same time,
it's not the kitchen. It's a five-star kitchen.
Like, I'd rate my kitchen, like 3.2 or something.
And this one gets like 4.8.
So you went up to me on the kitchen.
Few more to go through.
My face again.
It's so weird seeing it's so weird knowing my face.
Literally as we speak my face is on screens,
it makes me uncomfortable.
I kind of signed up for it.
Didn't I?
Okay.
I can't really see what's happening here. 10,
10 leopard geckos, I guess.
Leopard geckos are my favorite reptile to keep
very basic.
Shut up.
I don't care. But one is cool too.
Even cooler, three, get a little assortment, but if 10,
what do you do with 10 leopard geckos?
Got Popeye's though.
So I guess you get a pass. That's fine.
I don't know.
This is a lot of Exo-Terras.
That's neat.
You are trusting that shelf with your life,
with how much weight you have on them.
I really like Exo-Terras, but they're just so heavy.
And I hate cleaning them.
'Cause like say you have an arboreal gecko and they just
like splashed up everywhere. It gets all on the plastic,
but it looks very clean. It looks like you manage it.
I wouldn't want to,
but four stars because that probably takes a lot of time
And to finish it off,
we got 'Starting our reptile room in our master closet.
Soon enough, all of our reptiles would be in this room.'
I think this is cool because closets, it's like kind of how
like a lot of people use their garages for things that
aren't for cars. It's the same with closets,
but I feel like people don't do it as often.
I know some people will make like YouTube studios in their
closets and obviously you'd have to have a big closet.
Mine's not big enough,
but I started Emerald Scales in my closet.
I had my personal animals in my bedroom,
just in a rental house that my family is at.
And then Emerald Scales was in this closet with two doors
and we could fit like five animals at a time.
It was cool. 'Cause it's a very usable space.
And it's also kind of like a little secret cave with
everything.
And also, if all your animals have similar husbandry,
it really helps with the heat.
Basically what I'm saying is, it doesn't look that cool,
but I think it's a very nice concept and I think it'll look
good.
So let's give it four stars because I have faith that this
will look cool. Maybe he'll post an update.
So that's that.
I think that this was actually a really cool assortment.
I had to go through a lot of older posts because well,
I haven't basically promoted the hashtags.
So if you do want to post something, it's just Instagram.
It's just the easiest to organize everything,
but I'll check it out there.
So that's it for episode seven of rating reptile stuff.
Thanks again, to Curiosity Stream for sponsoring this video,
you can check them out in the description and that's it for
this video. So I'm Alex and thanks for watching.
