I like how he is honest and tells ppl how to own animals on a budget. And isn't like trying to just sell things just for the money. Actually wants to care. Thanks.
Pasillas Family I am def not doing this for sales. I just want to create solid content to our channel so we can be regarded as a resource and set some standards.
Whats the point of having a snake as a pet if you cant give it the best enclosure you can? By that I mean naturalistic. If you buy used or build yourself you can do it for less than 200 usd
Even if it’s not a permanent situation, a sterilite with a locking lid is the perfect place for a new snake owner. Easy to store and clean. You can literally put it in a shower and use dawn soap.
This video series should be mandatory for anyone purchasing a terrestrial species of snake! Basic info that will make the hobby much more enjoyable for the keeper and the animal. Thank you Kevin! Also, where can I buy or listen to your music? 🤟
John Knouse if you search Crotalus on this channel you should find several songs. I need to put up my music for real. Just have not gotten around to it
I need the Hognose bin size but couldn't find it but in my research I came across the options for the largest bin and figured I'd share. It's my best guess anyway. Sterilite 37 quart clear plastic bin with gasket and 6 latches in blue. Outside measurements are 24" x 18" x 7" according to Amazon. Iris USA has a 41.2 quart Weatherpro clear plastic bin with 6 latches and gasket in black. Outside measurements are 23.6" x 17.75" x 7.88" according to Amazon.
LUCKILY, after 2 hours of SEARCHING, we found our corn snek (corney corn) hiding in my shoe, that was in a hanging shoe rack on the door. REALLY? HOW,WHY😂
As you explained a setup for a python... it suddenly dawned on me why many houses here in tropical Aus have at least one [python] living in the ceiling... it is warm, dark, a little moist and there could even be food [mice, rats, possums etc]. Never really thought about it before, just accepted it as "normal".
Seen your collabs with Clint and you obviously know your stuff incredibly well, but this is my first watch of your channel. Haven't even finished the video and I know this is exactly the knowledge I need to help plan out my first project with Rosy Boas. now to watch your vid all the way through and then the one on terrestrial snake enclosures, which im sure will have some great tips for the couple larger display enclosures i'm building for my first breeding pair.
Love this series of videos. Kevin, any knowledge you're willing to share, I'm sure we're all willing to listen. It makes all of us better keepers. Peace. 🐍
What a great video Kevin and donny. Kevin your setup helps me more. I have a female ball python that does very well in a 74qt Christmas bin with cool side have a hide, water dish in the middle, a hide on the hot side with a hot spot of 95 with a thermostat with 2 to 3 inches of coconut fiber substrate.
I use the 37 quart stairilite enclosure for corn snakes, but only for the first 8 months to a year depending on how fast they are growing. I know that is about as much space they get in breeder racks, but for adult snakes I think they would be alot better in about double that space.
Another great NERD video, I could watch these all day and sometimes I'll play them on loop while I'm tattooing a client. NERD videos have actually inspired a few of my clients to purchase their first reptile witch is really cool.
Love these videos. Have a 9 year old son who's interested in reptiles & I love all animals. These videos are helping us do our research for a future pet. Thank you!
I own no reptiles currently. I have been afraid all my life. but I follow u evolving pythons and Brian barczyk and I really am excited to get my first snake within the year. Soo keep bringing the knowledge I appreciate it.
Do you have a video of visually setting up the tube tank? Sorry, I’m a visual learner so hearing an explanation kinda confused me. But I really loved this!!
im so glad there is A video like this. I just started breeding and am bringing in 3 new hatchlings this month to my collection so I was wanting to do something like this for quarantine for them.
Hey there I'm CJ, Marshals wife, a new subscriber and it's great to meet you! I know these are old videos, but I just got done watching the entire three-part series and I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. It is very kind and generous of you and I know that there are millions of us who appreciate it so much. We are so excited to get started, but have absolutely no clue where to start, because they're is so much info floating around our there! You simplified so many things that I already knew about, but seemed more complicated to me than it actually is. :-) So, thank you again! I look forward to watching more of your videos!!! - CJ
I'd say it more than "might be" worth the little bit of extra money to buy a thermostat. It's absolutely necessary. Those heat mats get well over 100°F without a thermostat. You *will* cook your snake to death without one.
Kevin, thank you for your educational videos, they are fun to watch and contain vast amount of useful information. Would you maybe consider doing a ball python morph video that explains 1- what they are and 2- how certain genes act when combined with others?
It’s an older video, but it’s so good and refreshing to see. A lot of people will shame and rip apart people who can’t provide royal standards of treatment for their pet. Attitudes like that aren’t going to stop people from keeping pets on a budget, but it IS going to stop them from asking for help and advice. That kind of gatekeeping is such a disservice to the community and really should be called out when it’s seen to stop the bullies and provide support to people struggling, which in turn provides much needed support to the animals. Great video to revisit! As usual, perfectly explained by Kevin 🩶
If you honestly want to know what I think I sit here everyday for 1 hour watching you and Brian from BHB Reptiles listening to you guys trying to learn different things about reptiles cuz one day I would like to turn my passion and love for reptiles It 2 breeding them for a hobby
I would like to know more about putting plant life in its environment. Do you recommend plastic plants? Is there any issue with putting in silk plants? Can living plants be put in with the snakes and if so which ones do you recommend?
Hi! Nice video!😊😊😊 very educational. Can you also make videos on making improvised incubator for burmese eggs? Buying reptibators are not practical coz as we all know burms lay 30 or more eggs. Thanks
Great content Kevin! So glad to see these videos. You are a rock star in the reptile world and these videos are very helpful. I raise mostly Skinks and Geckos of various species, but I have learned a lot from this series and the other videos that you have done. This series has been like taking an on-line class. You could easily call these and upcoming series...”Reptile U”! It is like taking Herpetological courses! Thanks for putting these together and sharing with the thousands of reptile (and amphibian!) keepers out there.
By ball is set up in the tub shown and is set up with pretty much everything shown. I used forest floor and a small amount of eco earth. It is an awesome tub and a great size for my 2 month old and he will be able to grow nicely. I was having trouble with too high humity with only one row of holes around the base so I added an H pattern in the lid and that worked wonders. The tub also has an indentation on the bottom that works well with the heater and cord. I also elevated mine so there is air moving around. T rex makes a great duck tape that is waterproof and has a temperature rating that helps hold the pad if it loosens. This is a great set up and a great video.
I got my first snake, a ball python, in March. (thanks to Brian B. and a few other snake enthusiasts who make videos)i plan to build them (lol got a sand boa in April) nice bioactive enclosures but i have started them all in homemade bins like you are showing. I thought it would be best to start them in nice big bins with hides and enrichment since they had been living in rack systems. They both eat well, are healthy, and don't seem to mind coming out to explore' :)
Felix Felicis yes at that time he was in there. Now I have him in one of those Xmas tree storage containers. I also have my 1.5 year old bcc in one. Works well.
Jellee I had Trace Hardin ship him to me. I cannot speak enough good about dealing with him. I’ve only dealt with him once and I’m certainly glad I did. I still check his site every now and then to see what he has available, his breeders, etc... Last time I checked I don’t think he had anything available but after this here I think I’m going to check.
Jellee So I checked and nothing available but I went to his updates and says babies have been hatching. The date was 6/25/20. Hardin Herpetologica is the site.
Kevin!!! I just had both of my daughters subscribe!! We LOVE your videos! Could you please do a video on Ball Python behavior and maybe a 'what to look for' when buying one. Much love from us to you! ❤
@@NewEnglandReptile Awesome! Thank you again so so much! My girls and I only have 2 ball pythons (that we love So much) but you and your videos have truly been so much help to us! We hope to one day get to visit your awesome facility!! ❤
Would be much appreciated if the links for the first and second parts of this video were in the description. I love your guys video thanks for all that you guys at NERD do!
I saw your video from about 3 years back and you had some baby cuviers. I got one that's about 7-8 inches long and could really use some advise on getting him to eat. He's very picky and usually just spits them out.
Hey I love your videos! You and Brian Barczyk have taught me a lot over the years! I would love to see a video on transitioning baby boas, burms and retics into larger cages and what to do about hides and ways to keep the proper humidity in a larger cage! My boa is ready for a larger cage and currently doing some research
Tbh this isn't the best way to keep snakes but it will work. You absolutely need a thermostat tho and idk why he just offered it as a suggestion, not having a thermostat can and will kill your snake in a enclosure like this especially if they are a burrowing species also if you do a enclosure like this make sure to take your snake out for some enrichment
Could you make a video or maybe series making a cage from scratch or maybe at least go over important things for consideration when doing so and some solutions
Another great video Kev I think everybody is digging all the new content. And who doesn't wanna see or hear what the evil morph god had to say or do next. Keep up the great work Kevin/Donny and the whole NERD crew.
These types of tubs are perfect for Ball Pythons. I have four of different sizes in tubs like these. Their sheds are perfect, they're tame and they eat like beasts every week. I have no need to put them in another kind of enclosure any time soon. They're quite happy and I'm definitely not going to screw that up by putting them in something "pretty" that doesn't suit their needs as well.
@@jimenezcindy1able Thermostats. If a heat mat is hot enough to melt plastic, it will kill your snake. I would think you'd be more worried about that than a melted tub.
Love your video's I've got over 13 snake's from small to very lager these videos r really helpful for beginners and easy to understand grate work keep them coming please
Master kevin i have your ball python bible book since mine 18 im 27 now great videos keep going you can do a tarantula keeping video since i saw first video of domiedony from worstpetuber channels ahah you guys are funny cheers keep going
I actually got that book from a package deal with some snakes and equipment, I was amazed at how well it was written. I ended up selling it on Amazon because I got like a hundred bucks for it LOL. At the time I needed the cash HA.
This was a great 3 part series. Question. I keep ball python in a 20 gallon glass tank. Just realized I can have many many more in these plastic containers. Is there any danger/ fire hazard with that UTH mat in direct contact with plastic?
As long as you have a thermostat connected to the heat mat it shouldn’t be hot enough to melt. Remember to always keep an eye out tho bc equipment does malfunction. But as long as you have the temp regulated you’re good to go. No need to worry!
These are probably a silly questions but.... when I put a heating pad on the bottom of a glass tank ( x large exo terra) should I put something on the inside between the glass and the substrate , aspen bedding for corn Snake. And should the hide be on top of the heating pad or next to it. I do plan on having 2 hides.. and a lamp on top with lots of branches and foliage I’m hoping it will like to climb on. I did learn and appreciate that I should put the corn snake in a more confined place when we get it ( i was thinking that an adult would be easier to handle than a young one)
Thank you for another awesome video guys im soo glad your taking the time to put the correct husbandry information out there its a big help!!! I would love to see a video about the proper husbandry/ care for boa constrictors as there is information out there but i find alot of the info conflicts with each other plus i trust you guys and Kevins extensive knowledge especially as he clearly is making these videos as he genuinelycares for all animals welfare.
I'm a hopeful future hobby breeder of garters, I have a decent start of a collection (2 albino, 1 albino granite, and 2 wild type all of them checkered) and I hope to add some California reds this year. Any suggestions or tips for a beginner?
Awesome videos I keep all my snakes in those. I’ve got nice healthy snakes I was worried about humidity but two years later they are still alive and doing well thx for the video love your instagram also!!!
love the vids!! are you planning on doing a vid on leachianus geckos,i would love it, i want to get one but need the husbandry info, keep up the awesome work!!
How many quarts is that bigger tub? Sorry this is an old video and you probably won’t see my comment but trying to plan a nice little diy rack build. I have 6 40 gallon tanks and they are starting to take up too much room. Need a cleaner look!
So for fire safety with a plastic bin I just need to drill more holes? And get a thermostat. Does it need to sit on anything special because I just had it sitting on the floor. I went to a snake shop and spent $500 kind of sad that they didn’t send me home with a thermometer because they knew I was a new sneak owner
Loving these videos, very informative. My wife and I just switched from a tank to tubs (we had an as of yet unrecovered escape) and it seems to retain too much humidity. Daily I've been checking the humidity and drilling a few more holes in the lid. It's been dropping closer to where I need it. Is it safe to manage humidity this way? The snake should be ok at the wrong humidity for a few days until I have it all sorted, right?
I learn so much from your videos . Thank you... our BP's are S friendly as most of your snakes. Makes me think I'm doing something right. Again, thank you for your videos
Serpent of the light we recorded all the music but leads and vocals. I got very distracted when my dad got sick so I hope to get back to it. The book of blood
Kevin, can you point me to a video you’ve done or explain why I would need an ambient temperature of 80 for a ball python when they have a heat pad available? I haven’t seen anyone speak to this point directly, when surely overnight lows in their natural environment dip down into the 50’s.
I like how he is honest and tells ppl how to own animals on a budget. And isn't like trying to just sell things just for the money. Actually wants to care. Thanks.
Pasillas Family I am def not doing this for sales. I just want to create solid content to our channel so we can be regarded as a resource and set some standards.
@@NewEnglandReptile IM A HUGE FAN!!!!
We need to plug each heat pad into a thermostat, then plug thermostat into wall?
Whats the point of having a snake as a pet if you cant give it the best enclosure you can? By that I mean naturalistic. If you buy used or build yourself you can do it for less than 200 usd
Great topic for those of us growing a collection on a budget

Bryan Luikart maybe he made friends with it. She was good prior. I think she got scared and lost it.
Another fantastic informational video Kevin and really looking to the panel live stream with Brian Barczyk on snake racks pros and cons :)
People, use a thermostat. Please use a thermostat
That’s what I was thinking not only because your risking your snakes getting burns but you also have the risk of melting the plastic
This is part 3...... did you watch part 1&2 before these comments?
Kevin covered all that. 🙄
I saw your video from about 3 years back and you had some baby cuviers. I got one that's about 7-8 inches long and could really use some advise on getting him to eat. He's very picky and usually just spits them out.
Ryan Meyer is the set up correct

Wonderful topics !! Have been researching past few months which snake would be best for our family new to reptile world !!
These are probably a silly questions but.... when I put a heating pad on the bottom of a glass tank ( x large exo terra) should I put something on the inside between the glass and the substrate , aspen bedding for corn Snake. And should the hide be on top of the heating pad or next to it. I do plan on having 2 hides.. and a lamp on top with lots of branches and foliage I’m hoping it will like to climb on. I did learn and appreciate that I should put the corn snake in a more confined place when we get it ( i was thinking that an adult would be easier to handle than a young one)
Thank you so much guys. My wife and I appreciate you a ton.
Do you know the brand of those tubs? And the size of the ball python one?
AWESOME series! Love these videos.
You guys are killing it. Love the new videos!
Break That Thumbs UP !!! LOVE The Vids ... Keep Em Coming .
Thank you for another awesome video guys im soo glad your taking the time to put the correct husbandry information out there its a big help!!! I would love to see a video about the proper husbandry/ care for boa constrictors as there is information out there but i find alot of the info conflicts with each other plus i trust you guys and Kevins extensive knowledge especially as he clearly is making these videos as he genuinelycares for all animals welfare.
This has been the most helpful video. Thank you so much for putting this information out there!
I'm a hopeful future hobby breeder of garters, I have a decent start of a collection (2 albino, 1 albino granite, and 2 wild type all of them checkered) and I hope to add some California reds this year. Any suggestions or tips for a beginner?
Awesome videos I keep all my snakes in those. I’ve got nice healthy snakes I was worried about humidity but two years later they are still alive and doing well thx for the video love your instagram also!!!
love the vids!! are you planning on doing a vid on leachianus geckos,i would love it, i want to get one but need the husbandry info, keep up the awesome work!!
Great topic and very informative, thanks for sharing.
How many quarts is that bigger tub? Sorry this is an old video and you probably won’t see my comment but trying to plan a nice little diy rack build. I have 6 40 gallon tanks and they are starting to take up too much room. Need a cleaner look!
What species are you keeping?
Heating pad with a plug in regulator/thermostat Is key.
So for fire safety with a plastic bin I just need to drill more holes? And get a thermostat. Does it need to sit on anything special because I just had it sitting on the floor. I went to a snake shop and spent $500 kind of sad that they didn’t send me home with a thermometer because they knew I was a new sneak owner
I’m trying to say you guys need to ship to Canada!
Loving these videos, very informative. My wife and I just switched from a tank to tubs (we had an as of yet unrecovered escape) and it seems to retain too much humidity. Daily I've been checking the humidity and drilling a few more holes in the lid. It's been dropping closer to where I need it. Is it safe to manage humidity this way? The snake should be ok at the wrong humidity for a few days until I have it all sorted, right?
Marcus La Bonte exactly Keep modifying for the right ventilation humidity balance.
@@NewEnglandReptile Holy shit, an actual reply. Thanks guys!
Sand boas are adorable I would love one
I'm really liking your new informational videos! Keep up the great work!
I learn so much from your videos . Thank you... our BP's are S friendly as most of your snakes. Makes me think I'm doing something right. Again, thank you for your videos
I'm so glad you guys started doing more videos :)
Been following your projects since '06. Great to see your channe finally l doing well. Have you been working at all on a new Crotalus album?
Serpent of the light we recorded all the music but leads and vocals. I got very distracted when my dad got sick so I hope to get back to it. The book of blood
Thanks for all the videos guys your info is the best out there and always works!
Love the vids could watch for hours. Keep teaching you guys are the best on CZcams
I started with a 100 qt for my month old ball python because hes a king.
U should say whT size the enclosures are and what brand tub and where to get them
Kevin, can you point me to a video you’ve done or explain why I would need an ambient temperature of 80 for a ball python when they have a heat pad available? I haven’t seen anyone speak to this point directly, when surely overnight lows in their natural environment dip down into the 50’s.
I always got told to not put heat mat underneath
Thank you for all your efforts 👍🏻
Can we breed maxican black kingsnake with Californian kingsnake??
BisTLeiS yes it would be viable.
New England Reptile thank you so much 👍🏻
Can you go for a taller box? That way you can add a few branches
