African fat-tailed geckos (Hemitheconyx caudicinctus) are much less common pets than their cousins the leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius), but do they make good pets? Is the African fat-tailed gecko as good of a pet as the leopard gecko, or are they not? Is the African fat-tailed gecko the best pet lizard for you? #africanfattailedgecko #clintsreptiles

Spiders, scorpions, vinegaroons, mites, ticks, and other arachnids are amazing, creepy crawlies that live almost everywhere (including right on your face). But how many kinds are there?

So, how much herping is too much herping? 20 hours? Because when you go herping in the hot, Arizona desert with Dav Kaufman, Brian Kusko, and Garrett Hartle, apparently it is an epic affair. But we were looking for Gila monsters. No sacrifice is too great! #davkaufman #briankusko #reachoutreptiles ==== CnB Reptiles: https://www.facebook.com/cnbreptile/, https://www.instagram.com/cnb.reptile/ Phoenix

It’s the end of the world as we know it and birds and crocodilians will be fine? How is it possible that they survived the extinction event that killed all of their closest relatives including all of the non-avian dinosaurs? Let’s take a look at what exactly killed the other dinosaurs and what made birds

The woodlouse spider was the creepiest thing I would find flipping rocks as a child. Those fangs are absolutely enormous. This is the creature of my nightmares. So the obvious question is, is the woodlouse spider a good pet? Is the woodlouse spider the best pet hellspawn nightmare for you? #woodlousespider #spider #clintsreptiles ==== Clint

Turtles are, as a group, pretty unusual reptiles. They have a shell, their head and limbs can go inside of their ribcages, they have a beak instead of teeth. They are weird! But among the turtles, there are a few that are particularly weird. One of the weirdest is the Fly River turtle, also called

The mangrove or gold-ringed cat snake (Boiga dendrophila) is venomous, beautiful, and notoriously grumpy. That said, they can make very interesting and spectacular captives.

We don’t understand very much about very many things, but we’re working on that. Science is the key, but what is science? How does it work? And given that it is probably at least a little bit wrong about almost everything, what good is it? ==== Clint is a professional biologist and educator, but above

What is the best pet isopod? I don’t know. It’s time that we get to the bottom of this via a bracketed tournament! Move over Tokyo Olympics, this is the Isopod Olympics 2021!

Suction feeding sucks on land! The good news is that reptiles and amphibians, like frogs, chameleons, monitor lizards, and turtles have some amazing adaptations that make feeding on land a possibility. And best of all, this transition onto land, actually made possible the evolution of my personal favorite adaptation of all. What is it? I’ll

I hope to see you soon! I’ll be at the Wasatch Reptile Expo in Salt Lake City Utah. What should I take about? #clintsreptiles #wasatchreptileexpo #clintsreptileroom

Cats are pretty great pets, but there is one cat that has always intrigued me more than any other–the Bengal. So what is a Bengal cat? How is this hybrid cat different from domestic cats?

Dogs are one of the most widely kept pets on the planet. There is good reason for this, they are amazing pets. At the same time, many, perhaps most, people are not right for a dog. Dogs are a major commitment. They are not a casual pursuit. So what makes a dog a good pet?

What do zoologists think of your animal-themed Halloween decorations? They’re terrible! What do they get wrong? And what do they get right? Clint takes a look at some horrifyingly inaccurate skeleton decorations to see what we can learn from these anatomically incorrect abominations. #clintsreptiles #halloween #zoologist ==== “Labeled Rattus Skull” by BenChance under CC BY

Reptiles make great pets for sure, but do they make the best pets of all? Many people would argue that they do not. So are they right, or are they wrong? Let’s let science decide! Clint puts reptiles against mammals, amphibians, fish, mammals, and arthropods to determine which animal group makes the best pets. #bestpet

Sunbeam snakes of the genus Xenopeltis have got to be some of the most beautiful animals on the planet. Their iridescence really cannot be rivaled by any other snake, not even rainbow boas. They are absolutely unreal! So why are they not more common in the pet trade? Is the sunbeam snake a good pet?

Wild type reptiles are very cool, but there are also an incredible variety of unusual and beautiful morphs like albino, piebald, leucistic, hypo, etcetera that are dazzling to behold.

Emily from Snake Discovery may seem like a wonderful, charming, intelligent person who wouldn’t want any harm to come to you. And even though all of that is true, it is her fault that I was bitten by a venomous false water cobra! To my knowledge, she isn’t even sorry (and nether am I). ====

Budgerigar by Leila Jeffreys For the human, the ritual of getting to know each other is quite a process that often results in stress. We find someone who catches our eye, and then we must create a rapport to advance the relationship. It’s a time-honored protocol that no one can avoid. Relationships do not just
