"imagine if a reticulated python and a carpet python had a baby and it grew up to be the size of a garter snake" is the best description of antaresia snakes I've ever heard.

Your comment about dumerils boas being great at helping people overcome their fear of snakes and it is honestly SO true. My dumerils boa, Salazar, is everyone's favorite snake and everyone that has met and handled him has loved him. My boyfriend wants to hold him every time he comes over. And I know many people have said they want to meet him sometime even though they're "kinda scared of snakes." A lot of people are intimidated by his size at first, and want to see my corn snake, until they see how flighty she is when being handled compared to the big slow boy lmao. I've had him for almost 5 years now and I'm so happy to see dumerils boas becoming more popular recently bc they truly are incredible.

My spotted python never, in four years, got the message that I wasn't food. I was bitten more by that snake than by every other animal and human I've ever encountered put together - and it was never a bluff or a defensive strike, he was doing his damndest to make dinner of my hands. Fortunately they have small teeth so it was more amusing than painful, but it was a bit baffling.

You haven’t done a video on them, but I recommend you do, as they are such beautiful skinks (perhaps not as much so as a emerald tree skink, but they have a similar personality (running around all over you p, and not wanting to be restrained, but they also are more tolerant to handling. They are also a burrowing species of skink, if that is of interest to you.

day geckos are the best pet lizard. Here's why: 1. They're diurnal, so you won't need to wait until night to play with them. 2. They don't have eyelids, so you can enjoy staring contests. 3. They eat fruit, and maybe vegetables (not sure about vegetables). 4. They come in all different shapes and sizes. 5. They can help you save 15% or more on car insurance.

I’d love another beardie like lizard but smaller, but I know lizards aren’t a good pet for me anymore, and that has to do with my mobility issues. Some days all I can do is check my snakes temps and humidity and thanks to tech I can do that from my phone. So as long as I check water bowls daily on good days I know they are still ok on my bad days. Stimson’s Python and Dumeril’s are on my snake wish list. I even met an adult male Dumeril’s at the reptile expo last weekend. I got to handle him. I fell madly in love with that snake. Definitely getting one for sure. I did end up getting my 2nd I have right now (and 3rd in my lifetime) cornsnake which I had planned to do IF I found a classic wild type. I did, I came home with a 7g 12 inch little girl. Next to red tails, the cornsnake is my favorite snake my 3 have/had the most curious friendly personalities I just love them, I may require more lol. We’ll see.

ok, fun story, collard lizards are native where I live and at one time 3 made their way into my house. One hid behind a painting and some cabinets located in a largely undisturbed room, the other two chose the living room (one in a well sized planter and the other mainly spent its time close to the couch). After a while the two that claimed the living room got fairly used to us, specially the one that hung around the couch. They didn't really spook any more and tolerated us picking them up to interact (or just to clean the area)..... they actually hung around for several years (at least 3 if not more)

Tap training is pretty simple, I believe. Generally, you use a snake hook (or a roll of paper towels) to tap the snake's side or head (preferably side) to let them know that it isn't feeding time before putting your hand in. Though I do agree, a video on the topic would be awesome!
@MaineDoom

Tap or stroke the snake on it’s side with your hand or head with a tool for a second or two when you want to handle it. Never tap of stroke the snake when you feed it. It’s really that simple. Cleaning a water bowl takes more explanation and effort, no need to overcomplicate it. But a ‘skills’ video with all the techniques / tips of daily care is not a bad idea and I’m sure Clint has already done several iirc.

Easiest pet lizard is a California fence swift or blue belly. Theyre small but can grow to over 6in. Theyre trainable and feed on insects. They are generally drab but in captivity they can get lots of colors. Hardest part of them is theyre not in pet trades and the wild populations are tiny now. And theyre generally super shy but adapt to handling to point of knowning their names and owners

Thank you so much for your videos Clint! My husband loves reptiles and I knew one day we would have a snake because he would want one, but even though I do love all animals and respect snakes (I grew up watching The Crocodile Hunter and loved him), I was on the fence about having a snake for a pet. Your videos have helped so much, especially your "24 tips to not get bitten" video. It helped with my nervousness and somewhat fear of possibly getting bitten. In fact our plan to get one snake turned into getting two. We have a breeder for a female Dumeril's Boa (who i've already named) that we are getting next month. While preparing for that snake I noticed an Albino Ball Python that had been at Petco for months and really needed a home. I looked at my husband and told him "I want to save him". so we also have a 6 month old Ball Python named Cream who is my boy. :) My husband and I are hoping to go to the next Tinley Park Reptile Expo, would love to meet you there if possible!

I would like to nominate a few for this list. Mexican boas, i.e. Sonorans (includes leopards and hypos) and especially Tarahumara Mt. boas. All stay small and are fairly uncommon and higher priced than typical boas. Hog island boas and longicaudas (Peruvian long-tails) are also more expensive and uncommon and stay at reasonable sizes.

consider schneider skinks to rival emerald tree skinks, they dont need as much vertical height as emeralds and they are probably just as interactive as emeralds but schneiders tolerate handling and put up with you as well as jump and run up on you. also much lower humidity, fun to watch hunt for insects almost like ackie monitors, bigger than emeralds, can be cohabbed, the list goes on.

Hmm...I've been thinking for a while about the collared lizard as an ideal pet reptile. I captured one from the wild here, in Eastern Oklahoma. Its colors were beautiful and it was an active, healthy animal. However, after 2-3 weeks of setting up with heat, insects, and light, it would not eat. I released it back to the wild, watching it run several yards on its hind legs like a dinosaur, finding later under a rock with a mate. After witnessing this wild behavior I knew I had made a mistake trying to capture it in the first place.

Love your videos. A snake I don't see much of on youtibe is Elaphe schrenckii. Perhaps you would consider making a video about them. They are absolutely amazing. Very inquisitive even as babies. When mine was delivered to me at 3 months old the first thing she did when I opened the container was climb on to my hands. No fear no strike position. Truly amazing animals and highlybrecommendable as a beginner snake.

Emerald tree skinks are just like a lot of other skinks, except green, with the personality of a jumping spider, and really jacked up legs

I would say King Snakes, rat snakes, most boa localities make good pet snakes. Stenodactylus geckos are one of the most "work giving" reptiles out there. And they are also beautiful. But I don't know if you have many in the US.

Keeper of a pair of green tree skinks here, and I simply want more for my colony xD such anklebiting fun-sized and fun personalities! Christ, Antaresia are a perfect Christmas gift! (But not much is sold, even in its native Indonesia) Madagascan tree boa and Madagascan cat-eyed snakes sounds like interesting recommendations from the comments section here, and heh Dumeril's boas are here too. Madagascan snakes are bomb!

Dumerils boas are my favorite boas. I've had 3. Luckily their popularity is catching fire right now and more people get to experience a great pet snake

My list would have had Arabian Sand Boa five times. But this was more informative.

Is the little acoustic guitar bit at the end of these videos "I've Always Loved You" by Third Day? Also, yes, a sequel to this would be very much appreciated and enjoyed.

I'm a bit surprised that the Blue Tongue Skinks, Tiliqua sp., are not included. One of the most mammalian and personable and easily kept reptiles I've ever owned.
