and then we come over to the infamous stack over here so the 2x4 stack which as someone
very rightly pointed out in one of the comments uh yeah flex watt in addition to the regulation
of this thermostat here which is you can clearly is not on and not nothing's plugged into it
probably needs a little bit more room to breathe other than just the stacking
um i had modeled this stack after multiple other ones i have seen that people
who in the hobby had done it quite a bit for years at a time and so i just model after that without
knowing any better but now there is no flex watt in this entire stack it's still attached to the
bottom of some of them but they're not plugged in they're just sitting there and taking our broom so
at the top it is completely empty for the time being i plan to put either a snake in
here because this one is a little bit better for a snake what kind i don't know i have a
couple more arid species out there like we have our desert cal king hybrid downstairs we have a
couple other rat snakes and things like that that will be growing up and could be put into here at
some point haven't fully decided what we want to do but i'm thinking this is going to be a snake
or possibly a legless lizard again not really a arid species but a more tr uh you know temperate
neo-tropical species and i really want a european legless lizard so um they're almost always wild
caught no one really breeds them in captivity because no one's figured out how to do it yet
but i really want one or two hey maybe i'll get a trio and i'll try my luck at that and i think
this would be a decent cage to try a pair with so we'll see how that goes moving down along
we have remus our little yellow aki monitor we like remus a lot um so we just recently
highlighted his remodel he just did that today you little bugger that's the thing that's a fun thing
about reptiles doesn't matter what you do and renovate them and cleaning them they will always
make you work for it like the tortoise who poops in his water
or the geckos who like to tear everything up oh hey she came over so i'm actually going to talk
a little bit about this really quick so these ones are very intelligent very curious animals
they're always just kind of wondering what's going on so i was in here earlier and she was
hiding back over there not wanting to come over but when she knows i'm in the room she's always
paying attention to where i am and more active and curious about what i'm doing like for once i
accidentally left this so these were purchased second hand from somebody uh for like 50 bucks
each so i couldn't say no to 2x4 enclosure 50 bucks even if they weren't perfect um and so
before i added this and did a little bit stuff i once left this like that once i just i didn't
fully shut it and when i came over she was just hanging out not trying to get out but was just
watching me to see what i was doing they're very interesting species very underrated probably
as far as intelligence goes they're interesting little cats and apologies for the uh dirty glass
because i'm not always able to clean the inside of glass as much as i would like to but anyway moving
right along so back to remus so as i said there's no flex swot in here that's uh just the day the 12
hour daylight timer with the added uh uvb and heat i do need to replace that red bulb with
a ceramic uh just a ceramic heat emitter and i have that just haven't gotten there yet
because there is always 1100 things going on so moving right along we have this guy
this is warlock he is our northern blue tongue skink some nice oranges as you can see he also
did that to his water just now and i if i know you don't believe me but i scrubbed the side of this
because white's really hard to clean i wiped all that down and it looked really good this is what
he has done and he's pulled that cord down because he's a butt head it's a little tray that i'll swap
out for his different wet foods and things like that i'll throw greens wet foods that i also dust
with stuff there too but that's his little cage and by the way he is doing well after the uh fire
incident because the fire actually took place in this cage down here but it was right there where
the bird of dragons is and he had a little bit of a kind of a bit of a sneeze going on but he's
been doing fine since and just so you're aware the little note for that says veggies there and
this one too that i did not write on are actually notes for our housekeeper which is the main reason
why we're able to go on so many little reptile adventures is because we have a housekeeper that
can take care of all of the furry ones as well as while not necessarily interacting with the snakes
and the lizards but can do basic feeding and lights including the geckos and these
guys and for longer trips we can give her a cricket card or she can work out of the
gut loading tub so here we go here is our uh my famous super not happy wispy bearded dragon
sorry for that so there she is she is not a happy little camper as usual but that's okay so there's
a little sorry so there's a little basking area right there where she actually doesn't
spend a whole lot of time um that's i have the little infrared gun over there if you can see it
there's that the one that lives in here um in the basking spot at like the hottest part of the day
it's like 110 to 118 just depending on how hot the room is in general and then the rest of the
tank is usually about 80 to 86 most of the time she's usually right here up on one of the little
branches or i try to give her sorry again for the sound tried to give her a burrow with a larger tub
that tub in fact but she was not using it and completely buried in her entrance so i gave her
a smaller one and we'll see if she uses that um hasn't touched it yet so far but this is
her little enclosure as you can see doesn't matter what you do is composed to the bearded dragon yeah
i know you don't like me uh the bearded dragon uh upgrade where i showed this to her after i
just cleaned it out and then filmed it she's buried her little fake cactus moved everything
around yada yada and there's a little cup for the greens because bearded dragons do get greens too
and we'll shut that and moving right along up we go cause i'm old so a nice little
succulent that lives outdoors during the summer uh and comes inside although it's been inside
basically the last two years because uh well actually no yes uh last year it was outside a
lot because of covid and i was home for most for basically the entire summer um
but uh once while we were out of town it snowed in colorado in june and we had it out and so
that's what that little like burn is from but anyway continuing on here is one of our infamous
bioactive tubs this is the variable king snake the male the female lives downstairs in a tub
so he has successfully just uh destroyed his little uh burrow den that i gave him
he stopped using it after he exposed the pipe so most of the time he's under here
let's see if that's where he is yep there he is and but i just gave him some new stuff to
play with and i recently tilled up the dirt uh make sure the isopods are still in there and yes
they are they they're usually under see there you go isopods so this is bioactive and this
other plant didn't make it but i'm going to leave this in here for it to kind of naturally decay
for the isobods to chew on and then the little agave plant which is doing pretty good hey buddy
so there this is just to show that i don't set it up and i don't do anything with it
this is a as you can see it's a pretty big tub for the size of the snake a lot of
people like to keep them in smaller tubs but there's that so there he is he does pretty good
in there i gotta get that fourth lock right there and then this is currently sitting empty this
housed our mail brettles python for a while until i got the uh second christmas tree tub rack built
downstairs and so now fiero the very special burmese python the pair of brittles are all
downstairs in that and i haven't quite decided what i'm gonna be putting to the fourth one
because the four stack but so here is o'malley our mexican black king snake named o'malley
because if any of you get the reference good on you but if not i'm just a weirdo so there he is
um he gets a little light there too again most of these guys are kept on ambient temps like all of
those guys it's all ambient this is all ambient although the timor has a basking spot they have
basking spots because they're lizards and they need it but most of the snakes are all kept under
ambient temps in here but if it ever gets cold which it rarely does even in the winter i do have
a heat pad under here that's ready to go for him if it ever gets a little cold same with this one
and there is another one that lives right under there does it just kind of suck in between but
i haven't decided what i want to put in here i want to get colored lizards i want to get
um you know ornate urmastics i would love to get some other different fun little arid or timber
temperate species that not a lot of people work with but working on different things like that
and this room is going to change quite a bit hopefully by the end of summer because
these guys will be moving so here's what i said about that bowl just being absolutely
complimentary so i just put in three heads of greens two mustard or two collards one uh
one mustard with a little bit of dust they did that to their water literally as i put
that in there this is what they've done since then but here is their little house right here
um sorry messing with the camera a little bit um this is it's it's they're quickly
outgrowing it as you can see he has exploded when i got him he was smaller than pinecone
so he's getting huge right now yes you speed bump do you wanna come here speed bump you
wanna come here you wanna come here speedy no all right that's fine but we are planning on
building their tortoise shed outside which will probably be like a six by eight or six by ten shed
it'll be nice and insulated and then a large area that will be used as a run i haven't
quite decided how we're going to completely do that if we're going to let them share space
with the muscovy ducks and the two girl rabbits that one was supposed to be a boy to breed for
feeders but whatever um i don't know if we're going to let them share common outdoor space or
not because they have a huge area outside that's completely sealed in but you know it is what it is
but what i'm planning to do is more than likely we're just going to take a saw and just straight
cut from there over and just take out this piece here and that'll go away this board here
will get moved up against there and then they will move into there our little house hippos
hello tater and then tilly's under her little igloo castle thing um and yeah they've pulled all
of their straw in there and completely decimated the collard greens that i gave them as well so i
mean literally this was less than 20 minutes ago where i got home fed them off and then uh
tidied up a couple things around the house and i'm shooting this video now so this is what happens
if you have this many animals not everything stays pristine it is a constant maintenance work
but i just wanted to show you that you know i don't pretty everything up forever for these
videos but things do happen i still do my best to keep things clean um and that's really all but so
they're gonna move there these guys are gonna move outside to their shed which will be insulated and
heated for the winter and then outdoors they'll have kind of like a little doggy door that allows
them access to outside when they want to um i don't know exactly how i'm going to rearrange
this at all i might scoot this over or rotate it all but what i really want to do is this dresser
may or may not move somewhere as you can see that's also where we uh temporarily put a dog that
we were watching just in this room while we were cycling dogs and she scratched on my door which is
super nice but i want to put the like a couple of the 32 quart racks right there and act as a stand
and then we have a local we have a couple local builders that are really good here
in town around the denver area um and one he will either do pvc or the um not people we'll
just call it pvc or like the hdpv or whatever like what they make cutting boards and stuff out of um
that which he's currently working on a couple enclosures and one of the racks downstairs and
moving forward as well but i want to get a couple of those right there that will act as a stand
as well as housing some of like those little ones up there maybe even um garter snakes or something
like that that we'll put in here i don't really know yet but i feel like it'd be good to have a
couple smaller just racks in here and then i want to put stacks of 4x2 by eighteen so four
by two by eighteen um stacks of dyed stained and silver's i guess not dyed but stained and sealed
wood enclosures that have light in them and that way i can put in radiant heat panels as well
inside of them so that way we don't have to worry about the flex squat issues and
starting from a fresh scotch build and i can give them a really nice kind of natural wood looking
uh just enclosures which will look really cool and i'll put most of the snakes in
there so o'malley he might be good in this 36 inch one right here maybe i'll decide to move
him and put like the gray band or another rat snake or something in there and then the larger
snakes like desert king snakes and cali kings and things like that will go in these four by twos
they'll be stacked maybe four or five high up here i don't know what i'm going to do with my amazing
artwork um local artists of the t-rex skull and these were used to be in my partner's hair salon
before she rebranded plug if you guys are looking for a really cool hairstylist that's a
you know great member of the lgbtq community and open to everybody does people of color hair
and all that other jazz i will absolutely plug my partner's business there and i'll even put a link
at the bottom of this video shameless plug because she helps a whole lot even with running her own
business she does a whole lot for us around here and at some point i will get that involved in
the podcast too and we can hear from her what it's like having to deal with my crazy butt
as well as running in her own business and helping with these guys but so as i said at the beginning
of the video i know that somebody wanted a full species uh tour but that will be the reward slash
goal milestone for 1000 subs we're on our way doing my best to stay motivated and some hard
times right now but there you go there is the arid desert room you saw the gecko tropical room that i
put out back in september although it's already changed since then and maybe come september i
will do another um tour that maybe we'll do like a yearly thing like this time of year we'll do
this room and then the next time a year we'll do the gecko room but hey if we hit a thousand
subscribers you'll see it before we get there and you can see that constant work in progress as well
but hopefully you like this video if you have any questions about any of these guys that i haven't
that i didn't really touch on that i didn't get in the species spotlight spotlighter set
up or anything like that or if you have ideas of what i should get um no more bearded dragons
um that i should put in there or there i do think i will put the scale the legless lizards up there
but um what i should do in this tank what i should do in this one what i should do there
that's another one that a dog knocked over that broke luckily there was nothing living in there
so that's just gonna sit there that'll turn into a terrarium eventually as well
but i digress but give me some ideas for the future again hope you enjoyed the video hope
you enjoy the content in general um really helps me get through the day as well just knowing that
there are a couple people out there listening that also like and love these reptiles so now if
that was great i'm going to get back to cleaning these guys again hope you have a great day bye
