Have you ever been absolutely convinced you wanted a certain reptile, only to realize later that it just isn't the right fit for you?

We're talking about the reptile species we once thought we wanted to keep and why we've since changed our minds. From changes in our lifestyles and priorities to learning more about what these animals actually need, we share the species we've taken off our wish lists and what made us reconsider.

Then we wrap things up with a listener question about one of our favorite topics: enclosures! How big does a Leachianus gecko enclosure really need to be, and is there such a thing as an enclosure that's too big for a reptile? We talk through the factors we consider when choosing enclosure size and what matters most for creating a great environment for your animal.
