Did you notice anything different about this video? What did you notice?

Definitely did not know about the Golden Spiny Tailed Gecko. There are just so many species out there, and so many that haven't been discovered yet.

You should make more underrated reptiles (and amphibians). They’re my favorite type of video! Also, I can confirm that frog-eyed geckos are awesome. They’re called wonder geckos for a reason! They’re wonderful.

I'd love it if you could talk about Viper Geckos! I only learned about them this past May at an expo - they're like if leopard geckos were the size of mourning geckos, and bred just as readily! They're so cool, and I'd love to see more people learn about them.

I knew 3 out of the 5, just the golden spiny tail and the frog eye were new to me and that’s mostly thanks to you and Clint. Thank you for broadening my knowledge of reptile species and how to care for the ones I have. With help from you, Clint, Elle, Emily, Lori Torrini and Bob Bledsoe, along with my own research and hands-on experience, my reptiles are doing better than ever and will all be getting upgrades as money allows (so slowly and 1 at a time). I appreciate all the time and effort and money that you put into the channel and the animals you feature here and I hope you continue making videos for a long time. Thanks for everything Adam. ☺️💕

A lizard that could go on the list is a rankin’s dragon it’s kinda like a dwarf bearded dragon

Being an Australian, I see those two all the time on local markets and my go to breeder/ store. Always baffles me when people outside of the country pay a mint for animals that are so inexpensive here. You should do a feature on some unique Australian skinks and geckos some time.

I was very much under the assumption I would know all of them. WOW, you won Golden Spiny Tiled Gecko (Strophurus taenicauda). I had never heard of or seen Strophurus taenicauda. You taught me something new. "Frog Eyed Gecko" Teratoscincus scincus? You're always sneaking an amphibian into the list.

It was so nice meeting you at AnimalCon! What a great event. I was the tall woman in the elevator that you said, “How’d you know my name?”, to. That impressed me because it showed you don’t have a big ego that just assumes everyone will know who you are. Especially at an event like that. Super nice guy!! 🦎❤️🦎

I have to be honest, I already knew about a couple of the species on this list, particularly Ackies because I absolutely LOVE monitor lizards but because of my disabilities I wouldn't be able to care for one of the dream monitors (a full expression Black Dragon Asian Water Monitor or a Blue Tree Monitor 🖤💙) as they are just too big so while looking around online for information and pictures of these beautiful creatures I discovered the smaller Ackies. If my health and financial situation ever changed enough I would still love to have at least one of the two bigger dream lizards but Ackies (specifically the red ones) have become my more attainable dream lizard lol!

I like it wicked wickens reptile have a great day have a cool day have a super day wicked wickens reptile

Nice to see a Frog Eyed Gecko there!! As somebody that keeps one I can definitely say that they're very underrated. And Collared Lizards too!

Would love to see a video about the different smaller monitors, like the kimberly rock monitors, timor monitors, gillens monitors and how they compare to the most amazing ackies. Also would really like to see a video with xenagama. Now that we are captive breeding them, we should start seeing them kept more.

Once Again, Great video Adam!

You should definitely include different types of Anoles like Allison’s anoles and Blue Beauty anoles in the second one. Anoles are definitely one of the most underrated reptiles.

Awesome into, Adam! I must be watching only old videos because this is the first time I’ve seen it.

I feel like Eurydactylodes geckos are super underrated-very few geckos that are handleable can be comfortably housed in a 12x12x18. And they’re super cute and pretty reasonably priced. Definitely one for your part two!

Great video, loved it!

I’m glad that Schneider skinks were on the list and they are one of my favorite lizards and the frog eyed geckos look really cool

Ackies are one of two types of monitors legal in my state (the other being Savannahs). I really want to get one but I don't have a big enough enclosure. Aaaaaand now I've discovered that I need to get a frog eyed gecko haha

Ok you got me with #1 and Sherlock was happy be featured at #2!

Another great video Adam. You continue to talk about amazing and cool looking animals I've never heard about.

Oh boy more lizards to think about. So many good choices. Tracie and I enjoyed meeting you at Animal Con Adam. You are the best. Hope to see you again next year! Animal Con was great! Awesome panel discussions, friendly KZfaqrs…we learned a lot! Thank you! Great seeing Diamond!

Wow! Great episode. Thank you.

Man u are the king of 5's! Always good topics! :D

Hey, watching your videos for a while. I would love to see a tour of everything you have and your set ups!

I LOVE YOUR NEW INTRO!! IT’S AMAZING!

Hi Adam! First i want to say that im a big fan of the channel! Second: I have an idea for a video! Top 5 most colorfull reptile pets! From the Netherlands :)

Great video as always

Appreciate the new into, cool

I loved keeping Frog-eyed geckos, they are so spunky 😂

Your videos are always so interesting and have gotten me into reptiles. I got my first today: a little spotted python who is so adorable. Keep up the good work!

Many thanks regarding Schneider skinks, I will certainly research more about them now

Thanks for sharing! I already knew a little bit about all these species but I’m an absolute zoology nerd so it makes sense haha I am very interested in less commonly kept species. I recently got a pair of olive tree skinks, it’s been hard to find much info online so it’s definitely been a process of trial and error, but they’re doing really well!

great video as always 👍 about next one of those, are you missing eurydactylodes ❤️

Great video! I like the idea of giving some of the less known reptiles some time in the limelight. I don't want to brag but I knew about all of these. I did learn more about them though. Thanks for the content.

YES 🥰 BEEN WAITING! YOUR THE MAN

I just realized my clip is there. That's freaking awesome!! Thanks man

dangggg love the new intro too!

I used to breed frog eyed geckos years and years ago. Love that species

Glad to see someone show off GIS Herps ackies. Jeff is awesome and he has some of the most vibrant and beautiful ackies

Wicken! Hecken good video. Love those little skinks. Also, i have an idea for a top five or a video thyme : top five reptiles with interesting cultural legends behind them.

Nice editing!

It's funny, the one most people are surprised about was the second most obviously known to me, haha (first was of course Ackie). Aussie inhabitant here ;) For the next list you could consider talking about Barking geckos and Boyd's Forest Dragons - they're really cool! :D

I'm surprised desert iguanas were not on this list, severely underrated, no groups on Facebook for them, little to no youtube videos talking about care or enclosure requirements, I hope you consider checking those out in the near future!

ADAM! You should do a few lists like top 5 handleable lizards, or snakes, or frogs. I would totally tune into one about geckos!

I'm new to reptiles so didn't know about most of them. I did know about the Ackie though from one of your previous videos. I had given that one some thought before deciding on a beardie for my first reptile. I've had Loki for 5 whole days now.

It's good to know underrated lizards because I own a leopard gecko and it's good to hear about other types of lizards

Here's a few more I'd like to add based on personal experience: Yellow Headed Geckos are similar to keeping chinese cave geckos (room temperature, humidity, mildly arboreal) but they're the same size as mourning geckos. Furthermore, they are semi-arboreal the same way bearded dragons are; they don't have toe pads but they love to climb on things and be off the ground. They're really wonderful lizards when captive bred and they combine the best aspects of chinese cave geckos, bearded dragons and it comes in a mourning gecko sized package. Bynoe's geckos are are type of desert dwelling terrestrial gekkonid (which itself is unusual since the Gekkonidae family is mostly arboreal), but they are also very small, and parthenogenic. In other words, they're like mourning geckos but they live in the desert. They're also becoming increasingly common captive bred; last week I saw plenty at an expo. Peter's Banded Skinks are basically like kenyan sand boas (they spend most of the time submerged in loose substrate and are absolutely fantastic for handling) but with a generalist omnivore diet (mainly insects but also vegetation and meat if offered). Care is tremendously easy and very suitable for beginners, they're very good to handle, even the wild caught individuals, and they look adorable and have really cool colors. The catch is that they're not widely available captive bred, but that is changing soon. Ocellated skinks are a smaller species of skink; they are invasive in both humid and desert climates (famously, they can be found in both Arizona and Florida), and are semi-fossorial and semi-arboreal at the same time, giving lots of different options for making their enclosure. They do well in pairs or even groups, and although they are awful for handling, they are quite charming and easy to take care of. They are also one of the cheapest skinks to acquire due to low demand and relatively easy breeding. Zebra skinks are somewhat similar to ocellated skinks but much better for handling and a little larger. They do well in groups and have somewhat similar care to blue-tongues. They're also available captive bred judging by their presence at expos. Yellow-spotted night lizards are a member of the Xantusiidae family and the Scincomorpha clade, so for all intents and purposes they're basically really weird looking skinks. They aren't great for handling and supposedly have venom, but care is very reasonable since they're hardy and fun-sized, and they look incredibly badass due to a dark coloration and spikes. They used to be widely available but imports were banned, so now they're beginning to become available captive bred again.

That intro was rad love your videos keep up the hard work.

Great list love them all! You should do another list and have Madagascar Pygmy Leaf Chameleons on the list! I have one and they are really cool to watch and the care is pretty easy!

Love the new intro!!

You know we never get tired of Schnieder's Skinks. Frog Eyed Geckos look like an anime version of a gecko...

that intro is so awesome I love it

I Loved this video and would absolutely love another! Any chance you can do one on snakes? Your videos are always entertaining and well informed! Thank you for these!

Love the new intro!

Giant Frog-Eyed Geckos & African Lion Geckos (Chondrodactylus angulifer) my favorite underrated Giant Ground geckos.

I got so excited to see Schneider’s Skinks!! I love them so much and almost bought some a few years ago. I didn’t know that they were so friendly so now I want them even more!

you teach great stuff about lizards I want to get one of my own mow!

The care guide links for Schneiders and Cave Geckos are missing....which I assume is because you're making those videos soon and will add them later. If so, definitely looking forward to them. This video was great too, learned few things.

Ha! Those frog eyed geckos are super derpy looking, I love them! 😂

Those frog-eyed geckos are ADORABLE!

Love your new intro!

Great video

Rewatching this video. I saw an ackie monitor in person for the first time recently and I fell in love I had never considered one before even though I had heard of them. Loved how he moved and how personable he was he was crawling all over his human, absolutely adorable

Geckos: What the heck is this dude doing here? Monitor and Skink: Uuuuh.....

Those little frog-eyed geckos are too cute to be legal!

that spinytail gecko is one of the most beautiful geckos ive ever seen tbh

Idk why but when you said the ackie is named Susan... that made me laugh so hard 😂 I love it

If you do a part 2, I gotta throw in fish scaled geckos. Never had them myself, but from what I've heard, they're basically nocturnal day geckos as far as care and behavior go, with big iridescent scales and a defense mechanism that makes day geckos look like underachievers

Please do part 2 this was awesome!

best reptile youtuber intro!!!

Love your intro!!

Adam - I would love to get a list of the top five most colorful and handable lizards. Thanks for the great content! Okay, so I am proudly one of the folks that got a Schneider's Skink based on Adam's recommendation. And I am so glad I did! He is totally 100% on point when he says that these skinks want to be handled and want to hang out with you. Digger was just about 9-months-old when I got him, and it took maybe a week or two of gentle handling before he was launching himself out of his enclosure to run up on my shoulder, and yes, he loves to sit on my head, too!

I knew of all of the lizards in this one but did not realize that the skinks love to be played with. Now they are on my radar. Thank you!

As soon as you said ackie monitor, I immediately thought of Emily getting bit by hers in the snake discovery shenanigans XD

Definitely knew about the frog-eyed geckos. Back when I was in herps , I was breeding the (Teratoscincus keyserlingii) and selling them to a local shop here in Rochester , NY . Huge eggs.

I have a frog eyed gecko. I love it! Its such an awesome eater. Like a mini velociraptor. Eats a bunch of food for its size too

This reminds me of your 10 gallon video where you mentioned pictus geckos and I have one now because of it! Only issue is a grown adult definitely can’t live in a 10-gal forever mines in a 20 long and it’s too small! Maybe you could mention them in another video soon! Great video as always though

That new intro is badass.

That is so cool and what is good fact about different repiltes to

I’ve seen frog eyed geckos before on tiktok, took me a bit to learn what they were tho bc the channel had a language that I did not understand lol. Definitely on my reptile bucket list

More underrated reps! Love this videos…⛑

Learnt something new today golden spiny tailed geckos and frog eyed geckos….love it!

THIS IS AMAZING THE FROG EYED GECKOS WOOO

Didn't know about Golden Spiny Tail. What an interesting critter! I currently have a Madagascar Plated Lizard. It's hard to find any good info on them. The previous 2 owners were keeping her like a Mainland Plated, but she wasn't thriving. They had her on Kijiji for the cost of the enclosure. I got some info from Reptifiles that said their husbandry was more like Indonesian Blue Tongues. Changed up her habitat, and she is thriving. Still can't get her to eat anything but bugs. She was wild caught, and is very skittish. There are a few people trying to breed them, but it seems like there is limited success so far. Would be neat if you featured them in a future video.

I’ve never had one, and it’s been a really long time since you mentioned it but the toad agama should be in the part 2

Smooth knob tailed geckos!!! We saw one at a local breeders showcase in Phoenix and had to get it. So cute and not too well known. Great video sir. Love the content

I'm sure you probably know about this species but I have a pink tongued skink. I think they are super underrated I don't really see them around here very often. Since he is a scavenger he actually prefers canned bugs and that his veggies be in the form of a mush. He is super docile, loves to climb is gentle when hand feeding. We actually build him obstacle courses out of old boxes and things and he gets real joy from climbing them. Everyone I tell about my lizard Bandit asks me if he is a skinny blue tongue.

I figured that chuckwallas weren't on the list. They were popular at one time, then faded into obscurity

My man, Stan, my Teratoscincus scincus Frog Eye is such a cool dude. He's like a little bulldog and noms like a champ. Love these lizards. They are burrowers so I hope people listen and do their research. Especially substrate. I experimented with sand/soil/bentonite clay mixtures to find the right one. It holds tunnels perfectly, he's got little ant-farm tunnels going on in there lol

I knew all except number one! Great list! Ive always wanted shneider skinks, they for sure could of been number one!!🔥

Sure I are underrated,hope to see some and this video was amazing

The Golden spiny tailed Gecko was new to me. That is an awesome looking gecko!

I've wanted a wonder gecko for about 15 years. One day when I have space!

Was very surprised to find a Crocodile Gecko at an Expo recently. Didn't get him, as I didn't have an enclosure pre-set up, but man what a neat looking little dude!

Rankins Dragon could be on your next underrated list :) a beardie in a smaller package!

The intro is so fire :)

Saw a Schnieders skink for sale in my local reptile shop for a really reasonable price but didn't know what it's needs were so decided to leave it until I had done some research, when I went back a week later it had been sold. Next time I see one I'm having it.

I think I saw all of these, (except maybe not the frog eye?) for sale at the Daytona expo a few weeks ago. Though that was the first time I had ever seen spiny tailed geckos in person and for sale at a show. Really wild to see them! I also think we don’t call them skunk geckos because it’s already a Nick name for the white stripe gecko. And while I would love to “stump you” on a reptile you didn’t know about, I’m not sure I could. Enjoyed the video!
