      @mallorypaige9416 Pƙed 5 lety +21

      Lisa Crazed yes! I wish pet stores would stop selling beardies or if they do they have to have a special license to do so where they’re regulated closely. They must be giving the most accurate care instructions. And why we’re at it, people should have to fill out applications to get approved to purchase them. Maybe have them prove they have the correct set ups and know the proper care. I’m sure there’d still be some terrible people that wouldn’t care for them properly. But it would cut down on it a lot. You have to apply to adopt most dogs & cats, why should reptiles be treated any differently?

      I think anything that lives over 3 to 5 yrs should have regulation but that costs alot of money & effort. The best way to start is doing exactly what Alex is doing, spreading awareness. More animal keepers need to go teach at grade schools. Train em young to love & especially respect their pets.

      in Australia, we have strict licenses, and anyone who's involved with reptiles needs one. so only certain shops have reptiles dealers licenses, and anyone who wants to buy a reptile needs a keepers license. i believe some states also have licenses for breeders. so luckily we don't really have impulse or bad buyers of reps here

    I have an enigma that I wasn't informed was an enigma when I bought her. (I had no idea what an enigma leopard gecko was at the time, though I had researched leopard gecko husbandry I wasn't particularly interested in the different morphs), and she does much better when I leave the lights in her tank on very low (ambient light only and no specialized lighting, UTH for belly heat), and I've fount that feeding her out of a mealworm bowl (raised sides, the gecko puts her front feet up on the lip of the bowl and then retrieves her food from inside) keeps her from biting herself. I still tong feed most of the time, and she's a genuinely sweet gecko, but I would never ever buy another enigma.

    • @animarelic
      @animarelic Pƙed 5 lety +31

      It's heartbreaking when I watch her and think 'people are still breeding them like this' , especially when I realize people aren't informed of what the reality of owning one is and might even get one unknowingly, like we did. She's taught me a lot and I value the experience but I wish I hadn't supported the seller. I am very careful to research different colors and patterns now, given what I know about spider balls and enigma geckos...

It is what JessicasAnimalFriends does for her rescue Enigma geckos, because she is afraid of them accidentally drowning themselves.

    I have a rescue enigma as well and I've found that keeping him in relative darkness with not much for him to see and keeping him as stress free as possible really helps him not show as many symptoms. Also mine has trouble finding his water dish also so I use a large kidney bowl near his favorite hide and that seems to help. I show him some on my Instagram if anyone wants to follow.

    Glad to see peaches is recovering so quickly! And i did watch the other video with them, hope it isn't going to cause the sweetheart much lasting damage.
    And oh my, an enigma leopard gecko. Beautiful looks but oh dear, that movement pattern... I know some are less severe with it, but i genuinely can never be certain how these survive the egg.
    I know there are feeder bugs with high water content, can't remember which rn, probably wouldn't hurt to add those in if they can't reliably make their way to a water bowl. And a humidity box, but those are just a generally helpful thing for herps.
    Edit: silkworms! that was the one i was thinking of. also hornworms but those grow super fast and aren't as cost effective.

The enigma gecko made me cry, but she's super cute and looks pretty healthy to have the kind of issues she has. I imagine caring for animals with such needs can be quite challenging.

    My leopard gecko, Bennie, was just diagnosed with cryptosporidium earlier today. She probably won't make it but I'm giving her 3 medicines and an intensive care food prescribed by the vet in hopes of some miracle she gets better. She is not even a year old yet and it breaks my heart to know that I may never see her grow up. I hope your little guys don't have it and slowly whither away like my sweet girl ❀

    You're one of my favorite youtubers, seriously on par with Snake Discovery and a shade above Clint's Reptiles. (I love Clint but anyone who supports and participates in the breeding in Spider Ball Pythons isn't going to be a top favorite. I would usually not support someone who does either of those things, but his channel is otherwise a wonderful place for someone looking to get started with reptiles for really figuring out what's good to start with and advance to.)
    I've done rescues, alot. I generally have enough stuff from animals I've had through the years, and stuff I've had to get to save a reptile that came out of nowhere- that even when most of the time I take them in to get them healthy and rehome- I've had to buy enough stuff to just have on hand.
    Tanks from 2 gallons up to a spare 40 breeder (though that will be for my still-new ball python when she gets bigger), a wide variety of undertank heaters, thermometers, hydrometers, fishtank heaters for when I've been given dying bettas to try to save (though I usually end up keeping the bettas- have a crap ton of 10 gallons and bettas being given to me to save is rare), fish tank filters, I have a diatom filter in storage, which is amazing for any fish to turtles, esp if parasites are an issue, a UV sterilizer (same), automatic misters, mesh enclosures, substrate from forest flooring and moss for my python and tarantula, with sand and walnut for my tarantula too- need to mix that in with the dirt so when she burrows it keeps a shape), I have those green squares florists use for bouquets that's amazing at holding humidity- also thanks to my tarantula- I cut tunnels into them and put them under the dirt so she has pre-made tunnels to just have, and then she'll dig into them more. (It's great- I'll check in on her a few times a day, and when I've done a cleanout and give her new foam caves, mixed in with the dirt she's kicked out of her way while digging, green flakes will be there from her preferring the entry in a different place, and she'll cover the holes she doesn't like.
    I have a range of heat bulbs, though when I have a random reptile I'll buy new UVB bulbs. I usually give those bulbs to the new home since they need to be replaced every 3-9ish months depending on the brand and kind of UVB bulbs (it will say on each box how long they last), and even if I used it for a few days, it can be years until I use them again and while the UVB creating substances * should * still be good if not used that much, I just feel better making sure it's new, and specific for what I'm bringing in.
    When I lived in Brooklyn I had 2 "feasts" (a street festival) that would go to 2 avenues at different times of the years, both 2 avenues from my home, where they gave iguanas and baby turtles as prizes. (Illegal in NYC and trust me I talked to the beat cops there and called complaints in to the humane society and the ASPCA and nothing ever gets done), they give them away with tiny plastic containers and care sheets that are actually decent. (I took a look at them)- so of course when people win an iguana who will get humongous, and red ear slider babies that do the same, where both live decades, I've found many in garbage cans on on stoops. To the point where every night of the feasts, and for a week or two after, I walked up and down avenues glancing in garbage cans making sure nothing alive were in there.
    I found 2 baby turtles once in one of those containers on the double yellow line of a 4 lane street around the corner of where I lived. Another time 2 babies in a zip lock bag under a tree.
    Get them in proper conditions, get them slowly strong enough to swim and climb out, get them eating a healthy range of food, vet checks when needed (thankfully not needed as often as one would think), and from the SECOND I get them I start asking around to see who will want them once they're a safe age/size.
    I know people who have large fenced ponds including my parents from when I used to live in a cabin on their property, and thankfully the number of turtles I couldn't place with people with the proper knowledge could go to, and iguanas are tricky to home, so the times I've ended up with them myself and my friends bust our asses handling them so they're easier to home with people who understand their needs, usually with people who just ended up custom making the enclosures when they grew up because the right sized enclosure for iguanas is expensive and so on...
    But yeah- rescuing you end up with animals who are not in good shape, even when they don't need a vet, and it takes time and effort to get them back to health, and handleable so they're ready for a new home.

      Agreed but with computers today, one can learn so much. American formal education has a ridiculously bloated price tag. There r accelerated schools that weed out the completely unnecessary courses but their cost is insane. Then u have the regular college route that makes u take & pay for classes that have nothing to do with ur chosen field. I mean, what does a dr need with college English Lit.? Late n life, I did Medical Assist. at an accelerated school n 7 months but went over $10k n debt. At my local comm. college it would have been cheaper due to gov programs but would have taken 2 YEARS for the same education. It almost seems at times the system was designed broken but I know its just all about money. I could have easily learned all the same skills working n a Dr's office for 60 days.
      It's too bad that the system isn't more geared to help the young & eager to succeed instead of throwing up roadblocks 😧 For people like Alex, that would b a major benefit to all, there should b programs available for regulated on the job training like n some other countries. Instead of just the unspecialized money trap of vet college where he would have to pay to learn large farm animals & how to setup & run a commercial vet office. He just needs a reptile & amphibian condensed course.

    I have an enigma leopard gecko actually! She is special needs because of her nasty neurological symptoms. They can get stressed really easily so sometimes a smaller enclosure with everything close together and paper towel is best for them. I have mine in a 10 gallon because I feel like upgrading her would not be a good idea considering how small she is.
    With enigmas, the more stressed they are, the less likely they are to eat and will rapidly lose weight as I have found. I couldn't believe a breeder was selling her but I fell in love with the full intent of keeping her stress free. Just keep an eye out for the death rolling and seizures!
