I swear all chameleons look like they're having a bad day, all the time.

YES PART 2! And 3.... and 4.... 😅 So many adorable micros that I'm now going to obsessively researching because I've never heard of a few of them 👀

Dekay’s Brown Snake, would be a cool small snake. Watching them eat is so cute.

I set up a terrarium for a micro lizard or frog...and then fell in love with the isopods' antics. I'm saving this for the future if I change my mind about adding Godzilla to the isopod safe haven. Thanks!!

I love how unamused that miniature chameleon looks in the picture lol

For micro snakes if recommend either a rubber boa (not quite micro, but very small, especially for a boa) Or Dekay's brown snakes.

[moonutella]

I want to learn more about that tiny chameleon 😮
Thank you for always giving me an animal to obsess over 😂 I love researching a lot of these animals you bring up in your top lists

I would actually go for Neon day geckos (Phelsuma Klemmeri) over the Electric blue day geckos because both the males and females are stunning with their colours. Most keepers don't have any problems with them eating their own offspring (which can be a problem with day geckos) and they are super curious and not really shy by nature.

Cool fact, the only snake in Hawaii is the brahminy blind snake. I just got back from Maui and saw wild Hawaiian morning geckos and a day gecko. That's about the extent of their reptiles lol. There's a few more but sadly they are light on reptiles there. I'd move there if my reptiles weren't illegal to have there. I told someone this today and she was suprised I'd pick my reptiles over paradise. Any day 😊

About mourning geckos, they can be pretty loud when cohabited. They are feisty little creatures.

I stood up right when you asked "where are you going" and I said "nowhere?"... 😅

[tkmccoywv]

Yes, do a part two!
We always end up wintering over one or three morning gecko hatchlings. ALWAYS find a couple of them dashing about the house well after the time we could put them out. So dang cute. And they bark!

Love the Fahlo shirt!!! I just got one of the sweatshirts, and it's incredible ❤

A micro snake native to California is the sharp-tailed snake. I don't know much about keeping them, but I know they prefer slugs as a diet. Thry have a mild musk, and are very very docile and sweet. Wild ones calm down and get curious quickly. Pretty rosy brown backs, and grey and white striped bellies. They probably couldn't bite even if they tried, they're so tiny.

I would also like to add to the list the genus Eurydactylodes! I have a male E. Vieillardi that I got at this year's Tinley and he's like a baby chameleon crossed with a mourning gecko. Imagine you had a mourning gecko that ate Fluker's and may jump but moves with the gait of a leopard gecko and the speed of a chameleon. Great little guy and I can't wait to find a female to live with him in a big bioactive I'm working on.

Im so glad you made this video. With being on the topic of micro reptiles, i am hoping there will be someone here that may be able to help me with identifying a absolutely tiny lizard that i have been going crazy trying to figure out.
So, many MANY years ago, while living in idaho, my grandmother found and brought me a tiny lizard she found while hiking up in the mountains. Kellogg idaho would have been the nearest town. Anyway, this lizard was maybe a inch and a half long. It was a deep purple in color all the way down until it hit the tail, which was a beautiful deep blue in color and the colors almost looked iridescent in the sunlight. It had a rounded head, and the tail was somewhat short. It looked more like a salamander/newt, but it definitely was not one. It had scales and was found on the rocky part of the mountainside. Ive never seen lizard like this before or ever again, and at the time assumed it could have been a skink hatchling. But other than the coloring being somewhat similar, it looked nothing like a skink. And it stayed absolutely tiny for over a year until i had to leave it with my grandmother when moving back home. She ended up releasing it back to its normal habitat not having the time to care for it. Anyway, throughout the years of trying to find out the species, no google searches, or anything has produced any sort of help with identification. Its driving me insane, and hope maybe someone more knowledgeable might be able to help. If i even provided enough info to even help get the help.lol Perhaps it was some sort of mutation/morph of a lizard commonly found in the area? But again, the types of lizards normally found there dont really look the same, even if you dont take the coloring into account. It looks like a gecko, somewhat i supposed, with the rounded head shape and snout. The body was somewhat thick, not so streamline like many orher lizards. The toes were rounded, or blunt and no claws. The tail was short, about the same length as the body, and the colors of blue and purple were a deep gorgeous color that shimmered in sunlight. Purple from head to the start of the tail, with the tail being blue. Found up in the mountains maybe 30-45 mins away from Kellogg idaho, where it was somewhat dry for a forested area, right at the edge, on the rocky side of the mountain where the sun was pretty harsh. The lizard was maybe a inch and a half, if that. It fit on my 8 year old thumb and was nerve-wracking trying to pick it up. It fed on ants, fruit flies, and the tiniest crickets i could find, though had a hard time with those still. Anyway, if anyone has any idea of what it could be, or where i could go to have a chance identifying it, i would greatly appreciate it so much. Though, there really isnt much to work with, and i doubt there is enough to help identify without a picture at least.

Having a well planted enclosure is the center piece to getting micro reptiles and also be able to Cohab potentially and create something interactive to watch amongst it all.

Im a big snake lover, so this is a change of pace! Gotta love reptiles so small they can simply walk up your nose... never to be seen again...like a person walking into the paris catacombs, unaware he shall soon be swollowed by darkness and insanity... lol!

The smallest gecko I personally have kept is the Yellow-headed gecko, and they're very straight forward if you like small feeders. The reptile I have the most of is mourning geckos (currently five adults plus eggs) and honestly they are my favorite to keep besides leopard geckos. Broadly speaking, small geckos are my favorite reptiles to keep.
