Regarding the voltage difference between European and American plugs- we thought that may be the problem too, but the heat mat that came with the baby rack had an American plug and it performed the same :( It's a great idea in theory though! We even tried plugging it into a European converter :/

The heat mats not getting up to heat is due to chinese outlets being standard 220v. (at least google tells me) Meaning that 28w heat mat will run at about 1/4 the power or about 7w.

Fun fact that effects none of you: The exact same time as Ed said the word “off” my heat lamp (which is on on/off mode on a thermostat) turned off. Ed is very powerful indeed.

It’s so funny how she’s being all serious and educating all of us and then the pickle in the back comes out of the corner 😂😂😂😂

I believe that the heatmat test is actually inaccurate, since it is ment to be used with EU outlets which have a nominal voltage of 230V while the American power outlets have a nominal voltage of 110V, meaning the Wish heatmat is effectively operating at under half of its maximum wattage (about 10W). At least with my logic, as a soon-to-be electrical engineer.

The humps in the baby rack bins is so you can house amphibians (like salamanders) and have a pool and a high dry section. Okay, time out. What's up with pickle Rick? I had to back up twice to see what the heck was crawling around your kitchen.

13:19 DAMN PICKLE!! Jesus that startled me, I thought you had a mouse running along your cabinets.

Emily: pulls out a frozen rat Me: looks over at my pet rats running around in their cage...

The pickle rick at 13:18 really caught me off guard

The "pulsing" of the mistpump might also be, due to a 220v system plugged into a 110v power line, like the heatmats not heating. They will work ok in Europe.

Alternate title: Wish finally figures out how to seduce the reptile nerds

Honestly I felt so happy when Emily said she used to play french horn cause I now have someone who knows the pain of cleaning one

Honestly for the tiny snake rack, u could just buy bigger bins and turn them too the side, you’d only fit 4 reptiles but hey more space if they are bigger

The heat mat that isn’t heating up: of course it won’t: you have the model with a Euro plug: euro voltage is 230, whereas US for light appliances is 110!!

You could use the miniature baby rack in the incubation room. For the reptiles that lay 2 eggs at a time.

The rack would work good for insect feeders ! I want it now 😂

13:18 jesus christ that pickle rick scared me so badly, i thought you had a mutant rat in your house lol

Emily: turns on mister in front of her face Mister: mists her face Emily: surprised_pikachu.png

So I just saw this video, and I realized that itty bitty baby bin would be PERFECT for pupating beetles, especially blue death feigning beetles that are really hard to get to pupate! You have to be on the ball with exact temos and humidity to pupate those so this seems ideal!

Ain’t goin cheap with electrical stuff in my house, that’s just me though..........even extension cords and surge protector, power strips, I stick with name brand stuff. Beats a possible house fire.

"We made a mess there was water everywhere." Rexy : "Pff amateurs"

The little mini racks look like they're more for like baby or adult frogs, or lizards & stuff like that. I feel like that's what the raised back is there for. For like frogs or tiny baby turtles or something who like water but also want a dry area too. Seems perfect for baby turtles since they're so tiny.

i think the tiny baby shelfs would be good for baby frogs. the raised bit can be land and the deeper bit can be filled with water. just a temporary place for baby frogs. an example is if you are raising milk frogs and most of them have lost their tails and you need a place to hold them for a bit while you get a bigger cage ready

Love the video's guys. One other thing I thought might be important to mention is ...buying from China is not only an ethical question but it can also be dangerous. There are very different standards of manufacturing especially in safety. Electronics are commonly not up to safety standards for the US. It can be dangerous and a fire hazard.

When I went to america I took my hair curlers and hair straighteners as I was going to a wedding and an EU to US adaptor and the curling tongs and straighteneres wouldnt even reach temp. My hair dryer would also run super slow. I dont think US outlets have enough power or something, might be why the heat mat didnt heat fully.

Maybe the tiny rack could be used to baby frogs(or frogs) that don’t move to much, like pac mans

The way she had no problem holding a dead rat!!! I would be in tears!!!😭😭😭😂😂😂

The heat mat we have is the same and we got it ten years ago when I was 3 and 11 years later we are still using them for our 🐍 snakes

that shelf with the boxes would be good for tiny tarantulas or scorpions I think! :)

No ones gonna mention the pickle in the back when she was talking about the mister😂.

10:45 I was just about to write, that those things looks like what I would clean my trumpet with.

Me, an aquarist when Emily says the normal feeding tweezers are 5-10 dollars: All these brands are SCAMMING ME! THEY’RE 25 DOLLARS! Btw I’m not completely sure how similar feeding tweezers are to aquarium planting tweezers but still. 25 DOLLARS FOR TWEEZERS

Hey Guys :-) The warmer mat doesn't work, probably because we have 230v in our outlets in Europe. So... you need a transformator, that provides you with that to heat it up properly LOVE your enthusiasm and how you both live your dreams!

I'd be pretty concerned the thermostat/hydrometer wouldn't be accurate on that mini rack, awesome concept tho

Answered all my questions about wish good. Hook the Wish misting system outside your window in the winter now and make snow!

13:28 Is that pickle Rick XDD

The big reptile product manufacturers don't include a rheostat on their heat mats for two reasons. First, they are greedy, they want you to buy a thermostat from them. Second, they don't want to be blamed for any problems when the user doesn't monitor the actual temperature and the reptiles health or life is impacted because of it. Great video as usual!

The raised back might be if you’re using for turtle hatchlings. Like Water in the lower area and dry basking area on raised area.

That little rack could honestly be great for someone breeding small reptiles out of their apartment or something. Anyone with a tight budget and/or limited space who still wants a small breeding setup could probably use it effectively. Granted, it only fits about a single clutch of babies (depending on the reptile), but if you have one breeding pair, then it works just fine.

I really love that rack system, it looks so cute XD it would actually probably really good if you're breeding Antaresia snakes

6:00 I HAVE THAT 😂 My product review is, great shelf for babies. I kept all my baby corns in it for a month and they did great The reviews were “My ball pythons can’t fit it this” so I guess I’m the only one that read the size lol

The rack may also work as an emergency baby bin, or you may be able to find some/order custom containers that fit 1 per level.

The pulsing of the mist pump is because it has a pressure switch, it pumps until the pressure in the tubing flips the switch, then as the water mists out the pressure drops until it is low enough for the pump to kick back on. You could actually make the pulsing slower by adding a pressure chamber into the piping.

it can't be just me but, in every video, I see pickle rick at least once. He could be zooming past in the background, or he could be half cut off by a corner. Editor, good job. we all owe our applauses to you.

7:10 I believe the raised back is for turtle babies so you can make a wet and a dry spot.

Yes. That rack would actually work well for juvenile tarantulas.

I love the close your eyes part lol

wish has a express shipping page with items that all ship in a week or so, sometimes less. and yeah those cheep diaphragm pumps pulse a bit. there's a screw on the top that you can use to adjust pressure. you should try it again with the heat mats with the correct plug. EU=220volt USA=120volt it might not be a matter of plug size but the fact its operating at the wrong voltage.

Oh my goodness! It's Pickle Rick running across the baseboards at 13:17. I had to rewind the video several times because I thought it was the previously frozen white rat that Emily used in her "scientific" tong test! I almost screamed at my screen because I was so shocked that the frozen rat just got up and ran away! 😂

I loved it wen ED POINTED HIS FINGER IN REVERSE inTO THE CAMERA, TO US telling us not to LOOK! Bwahahaha! I 💘 ed!

One thing you could use the the Wish baby rack for is a travel enclosure for vet trips, reptile expos, or you could use them for baby geckos!

Have you ever looked into heat mats for hydroponic growing, for seedlings basically. They come with a thermometer built in so you can always set it exactly where you want it. IPower and Vivosun are some examples

I instinctively closed my eyes when Ed pointed at the camera and told us to close our eyes. I actually closed my eyes. I can't be the only one. Tiny baby hognoses are adorable

“Is this a scam or not?” It is

4:24 poor dead rat's got a concussion 🤣🤣🤣

13:20 I legit thought a stray rat ran behind Emily! Lol!!

13:18 I spotted pickle rick and went “OMGWHAT” I legit thought he was a hedgehog at first lol

The adapter doesn't change the voltage. You would need a converter/transformer to go from the 120V 60 HZ North American standard to the 240V 50HZ required for these to operate as designed. These can be bought for around $30 USD.

0:03 did I spot stardew valley there? 👀 Cool!

Haha, I thought a rat had gotten loose and was running around your kitchen (20:50)... just a little Easter egg you put in ...cute!🤣

No no no. Wait. How much power output do your sockets have? We have 240 Volt in the EU! It's not just the plug that is different but there could also be a different resistance in the mat! I also have a cheap heat-mat from china and it works like a charm.

The baby rack seems perfect for baby garters or geckos as well!

Little baby DeKay's could go in the little baby rack!!! So cute 🥰!!!

The issue that I can see with that baby rack, is if the heat isn't working properly, it doesn't look like there is an easy way to change it out without having to do some DIY and since it's already so small, it could potentially compromise the integrity of the structure. I'd have to look at it more closely to see but just a thought. Especially since the heat mats were already kind of sketchy.

7:05 “this is a tiny rack” Yeah... I get that a lot 😓

I have one of those exact style mats with the US plug, though I bought it on Ebay (looks exactly like the ones on Wish & made in China too so probably the same thing). I have the small 7W one and it easily gets over 200F. The thing is, the max it can heat to is beyond the high markings on the dial; you can move the dial almost 360 to the right. This is super nice since it means it can be turned down super low to add a little, gentle supplemental heat to sensitive tropical amphibians or invertebrates during the winter when room temps may dip below optimal. It's also great that I can use my 7W mat for my leopard gecko (90F hot spot) or the more extreme temp needs of my Peter's Banded Skink (125F hot spot). The biggest downside to the mats is that the dial can easily slide out of place & w/no tick marks on the dial, you can't tell at all by look if the setting has come out of place (you need your tempt gun to tell). I found an easy, cheap fix for both. You can paint on your own tick marks using a fine tip paint brush/paint marker & once you got it dialed to where you need it, put a piece of tape over the dial to hold it in place to the plastic housing it's on. Been working great for the aforementioned skink now for a few months.

a lot of these, all i can think about it "wow, that'd be a nice aquatics tweezer for feeding our dumb blind oscar." or "BABY AXOLOTL RACKS!!" or "betta jars, betta jars for days!!!" Thanks for reciewing these, i wouldnt be using em for reptiles, but a lot of the stuff that wouldnt work for reptiles could work for aquatics. You could also use that $104 rack for a makeshift chicken incubator since it (hopefully) monitors both heat and humidity, and you can tape the vents in the boxes too for better humidty rates.

10:38 This one time, at band camp... I can't un-notice the similarity now lol

13:19 a wild rick pickle spotted

Oh man the story of cleaning French horns gave me horrible memories of high school band. My friend would spend like 10 minutes pulling out all of the tubes in his horn after class and just "draining" them on the floor. I don't know how anything can gather that much spit over the course of 45 minutes 😬

I built my own micro ultrasonic fog mister for my toad and frogs faunariums.. A clipseal container, aquarium air pump and hosing and an ultrasonic fog generator/humidifier, and a plug timer. Its cheap and cheerful and rather drippy/sputtery unless you add a catch pot but it gets the job done for a fraction of the cost of a premade fogger for small terrariums

I have watched this vid at least 20 times and yet every time I love more and more❤️❤️

There was legit a pickle rick skittering across the floor in the corner. Ya'll are insane. Lmao

me: MOM LOOK AT HOW CUTE THIS LITTLE NOODLE IS!!!! my mom: *EEK*

8:15 I feel like the "hatchling rack" would work pretty well for like, small frogs?

I played French horn back in the day too and was thinking the exact same thing!! I’m happy you mentioned that haha

13:17 Did anyone else see the green thing in the corner

Your Chanel is literally the reason I got over my fear of snakes, and I'm very thankful for that. I hope I'll be able to take a trip to your zoo! That would be so freaking amazing! (This doesn't really have anything to do with this video but I just wanted to say this lol)

For the heat mat, you have two variables negatively affecting the accuracy of your test. 1. European outlets output 240v, while American outlets output 120v. When manufacturers design their products, they have to adjust based on this difference. 2. The Wish heat mat has a reflective surface, which will skew the temperature reading from the temperature gun. To more accurately measure the temperature, you should apply a piece of matte black painters/masking tape to both heat mats and measure the temperature of the tape.

It also brings me back to my band days with the trumpet 🎺

Who else actually closed their eyes when Ed said to😂

The bump in the baby rack is incase you put turtles in them so they have a spot to dry off

I know this is an old video, but using that tack for small terrestrial froglets would be nice. Especially for toads. They don’t need as much heat and as long as they ventilation holes weren’t too big, then they would be secure.

8:46 You could use it as a baby feeding rack? Like you put the baby snake(s) in the bin(s) (preferably hognoses) give them the food and BOOM! Baby feeding rack. Yes ik I’m late on the vid but oh well.

Water: is on the table and in the air Emily: pulls the plug out and puts it on the wet table

Emily: Im SURE we can put something in the baby rack me: Baby garter snakes?

I literally just bought everything I need for a ferret a snake and a millipede for $500 buying everything on AliExpress, eBay and Amazon- things arrive in about 10 days on AliExpress so not as bad as Wish. I have that exact heat mat and am testing the setup before the millipede arrives. The snake is getting the same one too but it definitely benefit from some insulation behind/beneath them. I got 4 of those thermometer/hygrometer's too and will test them again my more expensive kitchen temperature probe. I'm treating all the cheap stuff with cautious optimism.

I got so excited when she said “ this brings me back to my band days when I would play French horn” because as of right now I also Play French horn🎉👍

Your plug adapter doesn't have a voltage converter built in. There's your problem.

I love the fact that my friend walked in and said “why does she just have a dead rat “ she doesn’t know anything about the channel 😂😂😂😂

Pickle Rick just ran under the stove lol I love it

Ok that animated mouse crawling around in the back ground got me lol

Emily: This brings me back to my band days with the French Horn Me: I play the french horn 🤩

4:50 Scientificly accurate: Tested on a rat.

You can actually find that same type of heat mat on ebay and they actually work! They usually don't get as hot as name brand heat pads (i don't think I've seen them exceed 100°F) and they might not last forever but I've probably bought six or 7 and except for one they've all worked ♡ (from us sellers i should add)

The 'baby rack' has a raised inside based on information I have seen on Wayfair and sold as a "breeding box". It is also less expensive on wayfair's website: $67.52 on sale and $74.88 regular price. On Sale. I' thinking that if possible, A person could take the drawers out that it comes with and instead just find a bigger 1-drawer tote with some holes in it and use it temp for leopard geckos etc., nothing long term though.

I love how there’s a pickle Rick running around the kitchen

3:19 pickle Rick ran from the fridge to the stove lol

The tubs could be used for pacman frog when they are changing from a tadpole to a frog the dipped down end could have water and the high raised end could be so they can get out

For the rack you could get slightly bigger bins and have them go sideways so you can fit four different bins and they be a bit bigger
