Honestly this is classy as hell. I have mad respect for the way you handle things. There is so much negativity and anger in this hobby and its nice to see people who dont buy into the drama.

absolutely love this video man

I love how passionate you are about your lizards I’m not really familiar with them but ever since I’ve watched you and met you you are so compassionate and inspiring with the way you love your lizards and provide them with everything they need. It’s amazing and I’m so glad I am able to know someone like you

Very great of you not to create more drama, but to inform people on why you don’t like grow tents👏

Great video! Nice to hear your opinion and side of the story :) I already said this on another channel (not naming anyone out of respect) I don’t have any experience with grow tents so I can’t comment on how good it works and so on but I can see positive and negatives in both kinds of enclosures. No one enclosure is perfect for all species!

loving the video's like always john! don't understand why people even would hate on you, you litterly have the best with your lizards, keep it going buddy!

Professor Herp taking the high road! I was wondering if you were going to respond and I'm happy to see you maintained your professionalism.

Hey man thanks for clearing this up in a respectful, mature way ☺️ we do NOT need any more drama in the hobby, and it seems like people loveeee to start it. I don’t understand. Aren’t we in this for the passion of animals? This is the most positive thing in my life, I don’t get how people fish for negativity to start drama. We are all keepers and we are all allowed to have our own opinions and our own ways of handling our animals. We are ALL learning as we go along! Give Frappuccino a kiss for me!

I love this channel. Ur videos r the reason i became a reptile owner. I used to have a cat. Got rid of it cuz it was annoying. Then k bought a komodo dragon. And it was the best decision ive ever made. Ty for these videos. Without the knowledge and facts u gave me, my komodo dragon would be dead right now cuz i wouldnt know how to take care of it. Keep making videos brother

I need to find a video like this, but for pythons specifically blood pythons and ball pythons. I honestly don’t know what to use for a enclosure. I don’t have enough space for a 4 foot long glass enclosure.

What are the measurements for those black enclosures you had in the background looking to build something similar

why would people start drama with such a chill and cool guy? Cant people take any critcism without becoming salty just because what a small group of people think of something one way doesnt mean others cant have a different opinion and different views on something than you- Keep up the good content Professor!

Grow tents are awesome! Especially in the Beginning or If you have an outside enclosure and need an inside enclosure for the weather. I’m pretty sure I misunderstood your other video. 👊

Underrated

HEY GUYS HOWS IT GOING

You didn’t say anything against grow tents. I rewatched the stream. You said “if you have the money for a vivarium, why not buy one”

I agree with you on majority of your points.

I'm a few months late responding on this video, but maybe you should show proper set up in a grow tent. I use a grow tent for my Tegu and she thrives more so than the enclosure she was in when we adopted her. I personally think i have her set up good, but would love to see a video on your opinion on doing a proper set up for a grow tent for a Tegu..

I’m using grow tents for an iguana and a Chinese water dragon. They’re awesome for high humidity species!

Grow tents are a tool if it is used for the right reptile and used properly they are fine. Do I use them or would I no I wouldn't but I am not going to shame people who do, as long as they are used properly!

Great video, do you think a mangrove monitor would make a good first monitor?

@@LHELT464 They need a fairly large enclosure for their size, a water area that is big enough for them to SWIM in (not just soak) and it has to be filtered, they will eat mostly insects with some meat and whole prey, they aren’t extremely tame because most of them are WC, They need a very hot basking spot and high humidity, they need a pretty solid amount of substrate that can also hold humidity, you need to have big branches that they can climb on and you have to secure those branches so they don’t potentially fall on the animal. I think a better beginner monitor if you’re looking for something arboreal is a: Timor Monitor (Varanus timorenis) They are a species of dwarf monitor which means they won’t need a very large enclosure (around 36x18x36 or larger) They don’t need a swimming area They eat primarily insects with the occasional pinkie mouse as a treat They need high humidity because they come from Indonesia They need a hot basking spot (Around 120 degrees F) At least 4 inches of substrate that can hold moisture Being arboreal monitors, give them places to climb They are a bit shy, but with frequent handling they will calm down Timor Monitor average price: $150-200

What material are grow tents? Wouldn’t they tear a lot

@ProfessorHerp

2 жыл бұрын

not sure. Think it depends. They can be reinforced and are probably not best used for larger reptiles.

Would a grow tent be bad for ball pythons? I've seen a couple of people who put a few racks in a big grow tent. Humidty is great and temps are controlled.

no sure tbh. Not to knowledgeable on BP care

Soumds like you have issues with bad keepers than grow tents. Problem with these enclosures aee they are really expensive,especially aince covid, and the companies cant make them fast enough.

But I was dissing grow tents too. I think it’s due to a pre existing issue. T

As some one who keeps reptiles with grow tents I don’t think professor herp said anything wrong, even if you are against grow tents it’s understandable because I was too, but I disagree with him when he said a lot of people are not putting any effort in their grow tents and that is the majority of the case when it comes with grow tents. I did a lot of research about grow tents and even joined a Facebook group (facebook.com/groups/611005919288553// ). The majority of enclosures I’ve seen really shows versatility and the vast capabilities that can be achieved with grow tents ( even with large Reptiles). Most of the enclosures I’ve seen when it comes to monitors and tegus and water dragons have the walls reinforced with bamboo Fence and have digging areas using containers or bricks.
