In this September 2024 reptile room tour, I’m taking you through the space that’s currently housing 145+ (honestly pushing 150+) pet reptiles and amphibians. This is the full walk-through—what I’m keeping, how I’m keeping it, and why I’m set up the way I am. You’ll see a mix of geckos like spiny-tailed and chahoua, snakes like a Savu python, shovelnose, ground snakes, a black-headed cat snake, and some absolute stunners like a red-tailed green ratsnake. I also show off amphibians like poison frogs, marbled rain frogs, and a Mexican giant tree frog, plus turtles and tortoises like Hermann’s and black-breasted leaf turtles. A big theme in this tour is natural lives first—enclosures and systems that make the animals’ day-to-day easier, not just something that looks cool for a photo. I walk through communal setups (including an Australian communal tank), my newest reptile rack, and a grow-out snake rack so you can see how I manage a bigger collection without cutting corners on husbandry. There’s also a “bad news” moment in here, because keeping a room like this means being real about the wins and the setbacks.
