Happiness is finding someone who is okay with your 6 leopard gecko cohab. All jokes, happy for you guys.

Adam, great video and awesome that you turn down sponsor for Betterhelp as they were fined for violating customer privacy.

Oh wow I had no idea

The good thing is that this gets people qustioning how wild animals live, you goes and points out that leopardgecos live in grops in the wild with real proof of this. And that is great, we can now start to adapt our husbandry to better suit the animals. But New, beginner keepers will not know how to do it propperly because there is too few with experiense to share care tips, and therefore there is a risk of cohab beeing done incorectly, with the animals health on the line. But this is the way of all progress, you have to experiment. Who is to say it is not the norm in 10 years too keep leopardgecos in groops?

People are ridiculous keep doing you, it’s not your fault people don’t understand how animals live. I love the channels you have, always extremely entertaining and informative. I wish I was available for the live

Congratulations to y'all on the engagement Adam!!

As for the decoration part, yeah, it was not (in my opinion) nice to look at. But in Sweden we have a saying "smaken är som baken, delad" Taste is like the buttcheeks, split.

Thank you so much and happy anniversary!

I’ve been involved with snakes since the 90s - I remember when keeping on loose substrate would get you horrible hate. Just like cohabiting nowadays will get you hate - the same thing…including horror stories, mob “parroting” of how wrong it is, etc. Now we not only have loose substrate but plants, springtails, etc. I have a feeling 10 years from now it will be a similar story regarding cohabitation

Thank you for standing your ground and showing my kids and myself included that are watching with me to be strong!!

I had to bounce early but coming back now 45 mins in and I completely agree with your mindset

I'm so sad I was already tugged in bed, sleeping deep when you went live with this but I just wanna say, during this stream you have shown all the reasons why I personally really like your channel and your content: You are who you really are, you back up your opinions with facts, research and you say stuff you can stand behind even when people get upset by it. Huge respect. Keep doing what you do, I'm really looking forward to your future trip to home hoods of leopard geckos.😁

I would have loved to join when it was live! Great live stream! Congratulations on your engagement man! Love when you said you apologize to no one😂. Got me laughing!

I don't co-hab my Leo's but I have a friend who's always co-habbed his without issues. As long as you don't have the "set it and forget it" attitude and keep an eye on them, I don't see any issues regardless of what others may say.

Yo Adam, I thought I would say there aren't Canada-wide laws, but there are CERTAINLY rules that apply to all of ontario that you should be aware of.

Sad the hear you can't escape to texas

I watched it all!

Loved the talk about different cage brands as I’m currently shopping for a 4x2x2. Have you ever gotten one from Toad Ranch?

We have a Kages and a Dubia, the first is too expensive, but nice... but Dubia's is fantastic, in looks, price and buildability (plus the little rubber mallet is a nice touch lol). Haven't tried Toad Ranch enclosures myself, but I know a lot of keepers love their other products... I see those all the time!

Hey...I missed the live, live... but I just wanted you to know I'm on your team...you know exactly what you are doing...and if you are successful co-habbing 6 Geckos then you do it!! Please don't allow the keyboard warriors to deter you from what is working for you!!! I learn soooo much for you! Much of what is presented in the reptile world is just parroted from false information...on repeat and embellished. I hope you don't let the idiots influence or hurt you!!! You keep doing you and growing this world and influencing for the best outcome...just like you ALWAYS DO!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry missed your live. Agree with others- your looking great and looks like you’ve lost a little weight Also wanting the mister for two 18x18x36 created geckos and too large areas for juvenile tegus that will need to handle eventually their adult enclosed 8x4 The question-and I think I know the answer do they need to be hooked directly into the home plumbing 😮

The home of keyboard warriors

your only mistake was mentioning the cohabitation of the leos

Using names for clicks is super shady. This goes on in the MK (Mortal Kombat) community a ton, and I've watched it unfold in multiple ways and multiple times. They'll straight up lie about each other. I called them out, and I'm not even a content creator. I saw what happened, chronologically.

9:05 Engaged?! 💚💚 Wow, nice! 😎 I wish you peace, blessings, and happiness. 10:55 "No, I did not propose to my zookeeper! My zookeeper is an 18-year-old woman and I am 33 almost" 😂🤣 Well, I mean, marrying an 18-year-old is perfectly legal in Canada. I am personally not into large age gaps, but just saying. 😉 24:10 If ExoTerra has worked with "every" Canadian reptile keeper, except you, then to me it sounds as though they just personally do not like you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 29:35 Great to hear that you are staying in Canada after all. 🍁 Canada is a better place than the United States to live in! 😜 Angry eagles be incoming! 😨 34:38 I would entirely get rid of "Sweeping Ban" laws like banning the entire Pythonidae family, et cetera. Municipalities would be required to do hard research and must have permission from the public before they go on banning sprees. 🦎🐢🐍 42:00 I strongly agree, we need not make the reptile hobby look as though this is only for the rich and accomplished. 🚫💎 There are 1000s of reptiles and amphibians out there to suit every budget and need. 😌 54:40 L-O-FRIKKEN-L! I never knew Adam Wicken used to be a Barbie decapitator! 🩸 1:06:45 Good on you for turning down gambling, alcohol, and vaping sponsorships. 👍🏾 1:07:15 And this is why it pays to watch replays when you can, because I initially thought you were going to go all the way to such a faraway country like Pakistan to prove people that were already wrong, wrong. 👾 This part clarifies that your trip was made long before the gecko drama. 🎭 1:08:58 Kia Telluride, eh? I would have thought that you would have gone with a GMC Yukon seeing as though you drove a Sierra, and wanted more seats. 🤨 1:17:30 Wow, that is a sad, crazy story! Taking a picture with Jake, only to have him shortly die on the plane... 🌹⚰ 1:19:50 Glad you touched on the subject of anxiety a little. Definitely an uncomfortable subject, but Doctors who are quick to push out anti-anxiety medications without trying better dieting, exercise, or cognitive therapy are people that patients should steer clear of. 😶 1:32:04 "I proposed to her on a beach in Cuba" Muy Caliente! 🥵🌶🔥💓 1:39:35 "Rent in Canada is really cheap" Really?! 🤯 I also heard that there is no longer a family doctor shortage! 😂🤣 Jokes! 😜 Well, sad that this has to be a joke... 😭 1:40:20 A wild Trish has appeared. 🔴 1:45:00 I was hoping that you would have filmed Epicrates subflavus, Jamaican Boas while you were in Jamaica. 🐍 2:02:49 She said F***? 🤬 Never heard it. 🤨 In fact, Trishs’ voice throughout this video was either cutoff, distorted, or too low. 2:07:39 Sometime ago, you said that girlfriends bite. 🦷 Now I know that Trish bites! 😲 2:30:30 Reticulated pythons being cohabited is rather interesting in a good way. 😀 2:48:30 In Ontario and I believe Manitoba, venomous reptiles are allowed, so long as your particular city's by-laws do not have them banned. 🟣🐍 For other provinces, you either need a permit or cannot have them at all. The Northern Territories do not have them banned, but good luck if you ever get bitten, or if your snake gets sick. 💀

You didn’t just use their names for clicks you jumped on a current hype-wave that the KZread algorithm would pick up on. 57:31
