rodents for some people is a deal breaker so the logical alternative would be an herbivore reptile that only eats plants. Great news, there are several great salad munching animals to choose from. If you are into big reptiles a rock iguana or a rhino iguana might be the right option for you! Cyclura as a family are so interesting and unique. These big lizards can be amazing pets for the right keeper and they are 100% herbivores. A smaller but still sizable option if you're looking for an arboreal lizard might be a monkey tailed skink. Monkey tail skinks have a wicked prehensile tail and can have an amazing temperament for an arboreal species. of course these skinks only eat plants which makes the diet rather easy to take care of and overall these can be great pets! A more common vegan lizard would be a uromastyx. There are several species ranging from bright colours to more drab colors and small or large options too. All Uromastyx eat plants and seeds only making them great pet options for those keepers who want a really cool lizard buddy with super hot and dry environments. Tortoises can't be overlooked, well most of them. Red foots and other similar tortoises do eat some protein but most other tortoises are 100% plant based shell bois! Want something really unique? Chuckwalla lizards are really cool, come in many colors and of course that diet it is 100% leafy greens and other plants!

What herbivore reptiles did I miss? What is your favorite salad muncher on the list?

[Mussoi]

my favorite thing about rhino iguanas is that they look like those incredibly scientifically innacurate victorian dinosaur reconstructions

Adam: says things like "puppy dog tame"*
My puppy: bites the crap out of me!😫🤣

[kimpanther]

I swear, every top 5 video I watch makes my dream ranch in Arizona bigger and bigger 😂😅
It'd be so cool to have an enormous year-round outdoor enclosure with a Sulcata tortoise and a rhino iguana!!

I didn't even realize there were Egyptian Uromastyx! The whole reason I want one is because they're herbivores. I love lizards, but I can't bring myself to handle insects. Dead rats to my snakes? No problem. Bugs just wig me out 😂

[LunaFoxtail]

I’m partial to uromastyx as my first pet reptile was a uro. He passed a few years ago, but I recently welcomed a hatchling into the family! I love preparing the salads and watching them eat and skitter around. 😍

Ice cream and a new WWR video, my days definitely looking up :)

[carabencivenga]

I actually didn't know about the tortoises eating decaying meat, that's pretty wicked! And also slightly terrifying 😳

[amandawelch]

Uromastyx are my all time favorite reptile. Their personalities can very so widely, and they are always entertaining once they've gotten used to the sounds and noises of the house, and have made up their own routine. And they are trainable to an extent.

You know it’s gonna be a good day when wickens wicked reptiles posts

[OhhWeOhh]

Desert Iguanas are pretty dope, I had one for years & she was every bit as chill as any beardie I've known

[austincrowmusic]

This is so cool! I’ve been vegan for almost a decade, now I can have some vegan reptiles! Lmaooo

[sheaoconnor]

I actually just adopted a Chuckwalla recently! He is still pretty young, maybe 8-9 inches long.
The lady at the exotics place told me, " Make sure you feed them veggies and insects, they have the exact same diet as Beardies." And I was like That's... not quite right...

[huntercollum]

That comment about reptiles not eating seeds... it's like I can hear Clint screaming "BIRDS ARE REPTILES" from Utah

[itsjojomusicsa]

Great video Adam. I agree a lot of people would want a reptile that have a herbivore diet.

[lxcys]

Love the grind and hope diamond is doing wicked!!

[staceyerasmus]

Not me on my way to convince my husband we need to move so that I can Have the space to go get a Rhino Iguana.
OMW they are adorable 😍

[rickcroney]

Awesome video for anyone looking to get an herbivore!!! Decker is proud to have been featured 🦎

[JLAvey]

Plants are living! Russian Tortoise completely wiped out all of the plants that were planted in his box. He took no prisoners. On the plus side, I can split a salad with him.

Y’all need to be part of his discord it’s amazing
