My Best Pets of 2024

Over the past year, I've collected some of the craziest, most interesting pets from every corner of the world. So, I've decided to turn all those separate pet videos into one giant movie. Fish that can walk, dinosaurs, ants, and way more are all in this video. So, grab some snacks and sit back because you are about to be amazed. Apparently, there's this rare species of lizard that not only looks like a dinosaur, but acts Just like one. The name of it is a thrilled dragon, and it looks very deadly. But despite how dangerous it looks, I

found this website that sells legal exotic animals, including this dinosaur, for uh $800. So, yeah, basically, I'm going to buy this, build it at home, and try to keep it as a pet. And I don't know how hard that is going to be because, as you've already seen, this thing is uh literally that that thing's a demon. I mean, look At that. But anyways, let's just buy this thing. And in this video, I'll be judging how good of a pet a dinosaur actually is by doing stuff like taking it outside like a dog. Yeah, this

video is crazy. But before any of that, I first have to wait for it to be delivered, which is going to take about a week. So, in the meantime, let's build this thing its dream home with everything it could possibly want. And to do that, well, uh, I've got a lot of Stuff. I first put together the glass enclosure to build the dream home inside of. And anyways, now it's time to actually build the dream home. And to do that, there is five steps. Starting with creating the background. To create the background, I sprayed a

ton of foam all along the glass so I could stick a ton of wood to it. You see, I'm basically recreating a forest in here since that's where frill dragons live in the wild. And to complete the forest look, I Covered it in a ton of dirt and wood chips so it look nice and natural, you know. As you can see, this tank is already looking very, very beautiful and and natural with all that wood and dirt. But it's also looking a bit brown and lifeless, too. So, let's get to doing some more stuff. Starting

with the floor. Now, I know I was just complaining about everything being brown, but um to make the floor, we do got to use some brown dirt. So, yeah. The cheapest way to get a bunch of quality dirt is to use one of these compressed coconut fiber bricks, which may not seem like a lot of dirt, but if we add a huge tub of water to it, well, uh now it's a lot of dirt. Finally, I mixed in a bunch of other types of ground stuff cuz that's what forest floors got, you know. All right,

this is starting to look uh almost like a forest, but we're still missing some key things. So, let's move on to step three, Plants and decorations. Now, first of all, I've got two different types of moss, which to start I'll use carpet moss, which comes conveniently packaged in this box. Now, I always thought moss was just like dead grass or something, but it's actually an alive organism that over time is going to grow and overtake the entire terrarium. Pretty cool. And I also spread a different type of moss around to add a little bit more

variety in this tank. Now, this moss is Absolutely fantastical. You know, it really brings the whole thing to life. But I'm going to need way more plants if I'm going to make this thing look like the dinosaur's actual habitat, which means I'm going to go get some actual plants with leaves and flowers on them and stuff like that. Yeah. So, of course, I got in my car to go to the best plant store in town. Which, if you've seen my channel before, you already know where I'm going, baby. Place your item in. Now, I had

some people shaming me for going to Walmart for plants in a previous video, but clearly you guys don't understand the fantastical selection of plants they got. I mean, look at all these. Thanks, Walmart, for all these good plants. So, I got a couple small plants and I also got one big one that should make the dinosaur nice and happy. And while I was walking around there, I also saw they had some plant Lego sets, Which, you know, I like Lego, so of course I bought some, baby. When I got home, I figured I should just

build the Lego set real quick to see how those plants look. So, I put that all together. And then I put each of the plants inside of the enclosure. And check these out. Yo, this looks so cool. I'm just kidding. This actually looks pretty stupid. I I don't know why I spent $50 on this. Get this trash out of here. Instead, I of course got out the Plants I bought and planted them around the tank. There we go. This thing is starting to come together well now. But in order to complete the decorations, I need

to add a huge piece of wood that goes diagonally from the bottom of the tank to the top of the tank so that the dinosaur will be able to have easy access to the heat lamp that will be at the top. And uh this is the only wood I have right now. Definitely not enough to get to the top. So in order to get some More wood, I went outside to find some. Okay, so I basically just need to get some sort of branch that's nice and thick and long and that's kind of too thin.

I need something that's not going to snap under the pressure of the dinosaur. And yeah, that one kind of sucks, too. But oh, this one actually looks pretty good. Look at this. My hand kind of wraps around it. That's good thickness. So, I went inside and grabbed the biggest knife from my kitchen and I Got to sign. This should only take like 30 minutes. I I'll be done soon. Eventually, I was able to get this fantastical piece of wood that would work perfectly. So, I quickly hosed it down to remove dirt and insects and stuff

and brought it back inside. After breaking it down so it would fit, I put it in place and covered the bottom with some more wood. And boom, the decorations are complete in here. But of course, I'm not just going to leave the Tank like this. We've got to first add in some technologies to make this the best enclosure ever. Starting with some water technologies. The first water technology I got is this little box, which is actually an automatic humidifier. You see, franks need the humidity in their enclosure to be pretty high. And basically, this well,

you know, it humidifies the enclosure by spraying water everywhere. Nice. The second water technology I got is Extremely high tech. It's a water bowl. Yeah. So, you know, the dinosaur can get a drink of water and stuff. Now, even though I added in this amazing water dish, fur dragons actually never drink from it. I actually just use it as a bathroom. Uh, yeah. So, to allow the dinosaur to actually get a drink of water, I got out this water pump, put it in a container of water, and linked it up with some tubing. Now, when

I turn it on, it creates this nice little flow of Water which furl dragons will actually drink from. Well, now there's just one more thing to build before I add the furl dragon in, and that is heat. And basically what that means is I need to recreate the sun in this enclosure. To do that, I got a heavyduty heat lamp and an expensive top quality UV bulb that recreates the same UV rays that the sun does. I also got another lamp with a highintensity heat bulb because frilled dragons like it to be extremely hot in

Their homes. To test the temperature, I hooked up a thermometer. And as you can see, it reached up to 100° in the basking spot, which is perfect. Finally, I put a bit of aluminum foil on top to keep the heat and humidity inside. Okay, well, the frilled dragon's home is now complete, and uh well, it's time to add it inside. And the next day, I got a notification on my phone saying the package was ready for pickup. So, I drove out to FedEx. All right, so I just Got back from FedEx and I just picked

up this box, which uh is probably the frilled dragon. I mean, it says live animal. Hopefully, they didn't give me the wrong package. But anyways, I'm going to take this thing inside and put it in the cage. And oh, there's some chickens right there. I might got to show these guys to the dinosaur. They're going to be good friends. But before I do anything like that, let's just start by opening up this box. Oh my gosh, I Can kind of see the dinosaur right now. And well, it's definitely a dinosaur. Now that I have the

fur dragon, I'm going to find out if dinosaurs are actually good pets by doing stuff like feeding it, taking it outside, and even more. But first, let's get this guy in the enclosure. Now, this may not look like a dinosaur just yet, but that's because its thing on its neck only comes out on special occasions, but trust me, I will Be showing you exactly what it looks like later in the video. Okay, well, the dinosaur is in its enclosure right now, and honestly, I'm still scared to get within a 5ft radius of this thing. Like,

I have no idea if this is as ferocious as those videos made it out to be, but uh I guess we're going to find out. For now, I already know this guy is very hungry and thirsty from spending a day in that shipping container. And as you can see, his water bowl is already Messed up cuz he was like jumping around and pooping in there like I thought he would. So, to give him a drink of water, I turned my water pump on a very low setting, which made little drops of water fall above the

dinosaur. Immediately, he started to stick out his tongue and take little sips of it, which is actually pretty cool to watch. Then, he just started to bask in it like he was taking a shower. Dang, maybe this guy isn't as ferocious as I thought. He Actually looks pretty chill right now. Now, to feed the fur dragon, I asked the guy I bought it from which insect is the dinosaur's favorite, and he said crickets are one of the best. So, I got a bag of some pretty big crickets. Bro, what are these guys all running around

in here for? It's not like you guys going to escape. They're just jumping around. Are you guys stupid? And literally immediately after I put a bunch of them in, the dinosaur Started to go crazy, as you can see, jumping all around the enclosure to get a nice juicy meal. And to show you just how cool it is when the frill dragon hunts, I hired a professional nature documentary narrator to tell you what's going on. Look at this. In this small recreated prehistoric world, a cricket enjoys a quiet meal of moss. But nearby, the frilled dragon,

a creature with roots deep in ancient history, has spotted the movement. Suddenly, the Dragon's head snaps towards the cricket. In an instant, it leaps forward, jaws closing around the cricket with precision. The cricket's meal is cut short, now being completely devoured by one of nature's best hunters. Now, as you can see, that was very cool. And the dinosaur is a very good hunter. So to rank how good of a pet this dinosaur is, I'm going to rank a bunch of different factors. And because it was super cool watching this guy drink and eat, I'm Going

to give Care a 9 out of 10. Yeah, 9 out of 10. That's a pretty good score. Good job, bro. But another important factor that goes into a pet being good is how friendly it is and whether or not it lets you handle it. Now, dogs are the perfect example of this. You know, they're super fluffy and nice and they pretty much never bite you. A but feral dragons on the other hand. Um yeah, I mean based off the videos I've seen, they are not friendly at all. All right, This is the moment of truth.

I'm going to figure out if this guy is going to let me hold him and to make sure I don't get bit. I've got some hand protection as you can see. I'm just going to go start by trying to pet him. Okay, there we go. Okay, we're petting him. And it seems like he's chill with that. I'm just going to be very gentle. Oh, okay. I got very scared there for a second, but so yeah, I was too scared to pick him up with my hand, so I just picked up The log. He was sitting

up. There you go. Good boy. Good boy. Okay, we're doing it. Okay, so we're just going to start by putting him on the kitchen table. Let's see. Stay right there. And there we go. Look at him. When he's out of his cage, he's doing good. He's just sitting there. Bang. But he's actually been a good boy. And the craziest thing is is you see the frill on his neck. It hasn't even come out yet. So, usually they put the frill out on their neck When they're super angry. But this guy, he hasn't even put it

out once. He's like super chill with me. See, he's just letting me pet him. He's a good boy, bro. And since the dinosaur was doing so good just chilling inside, I decided I would try and bring him outside to let him explore the world. And I'm outside with the little dragon. Look at this. He's just basking in the sun. This is awesome. It's actually pretty cool. He's like blending in with the log. I'm Pretty sure he does that to avoid any birds of prey. Cuz normally in the wild, they're like scared of birds attacking him.

But right now, he's just blending in with the log. He's not even scared at all. And like I said, I was going to show the frill dragon to the chickens. So, I don't want him to get too stressed out, but I'm just going to kind of let them see the chickens. You see them over there? Yeah. Yeah. You see the chickens? Aren't they so cool? Oh, they look Pretty scared. And Oh, okay. They're just running away. Yeah, I think they're scared of them. Okay, I'm just going to bring them back inside. That actually went very

well. And the dinosaur didn't even get mad at me once. But to be fair, I was too scared to hold them. So, because of that, I'm giving friendliness a 7 out of 10. And now for the final thing that determines how good a pet is is to see the reaction of my mom. So, yeah, I'm going to show it to my mom. But real quick, I just want to let you know that only 5% of people are actually subscribed and I know every YouTuber says this and uh I said the same thing last video, but

it is a real statistic. So, please just subscribe if you like this video. Thank you very much. Mom, can you come in? Have you seen my new pet? No. All right. So, the lizard is in this giant enclosure right here. Do you see it? Yeah. So, yeah. It's basically right there. And uh or do you know what Kind of lizard it is, though? It looks like a little dinosaur. A dinosaur. Yeah. Yeah. That's the That's why I got it. It looks like a dinosaur. And guess how much it costs? I don't know. It cost $800.

No, it did not. It cost $800. It's not even funny. Well, it did. Um, but this is the new This is the new addition to the the family. All right. What's his name? Doesn't have a name. Oh, Mr. Prehistoric. You want to name him Mr. Prehistoric? Mr. Prehistoric. That's a Stupid name. So, what do you rate it out of 10? You're pretty cool. Prehistoric 10. 10 out of 10. 10 out of 10. Okay. Bye. Thanks. So, she actually ended up liking it and gave it a 10 out of 10. That means the average score for

the pet dinosaur is 8.7 out of 10. So, that means this is actually a very, very good pet. I recommend it to anybody that can afford it, which nobody cuz who who's going to spend $800 on a lizard? Anyways, I know I said that the dinosaur Would be showing his neck frill a lot in this video, which he hasn't yet. So, to try and make him do it, I got a scary picture on my phone and showed it to him. And um he he didn't really care. So, I tried getting another picture of a bird

predator this time, which um yeah, he didn't care about that either. So, sorry guys, I lied. Mr. Prehistoric is not going to show his frill in this video, but that is a good thing anyways because it means he likes me and he Isn't stressed at all. But don't leave yet guys because we're only just getting started. And the next pet, or should I say pets, are even cooler. Say hello to my ant colony. This is my harvester ant colony. Despite starting from a tiny little tube, over the past 30 days, the colony has expanded to

an entirely new level. Over the month, I've documented their lifestyle, including them hunting, building shelter, eating, and more. I even introduced special predators and Prey in order to simulate realworld scenarios in the wild. To understand how this all started, we got to go back to day one, where my entire colony was confined to a single tube. But while they may be small, they are already extremely powerful. To demonstrate this, I'm putting a live mealorm inside. The colony immediately went into defense mode, and the workers swarmed the worm. While half of the ants used their mandibles

to crush the worm's Exoskeleton, the other half gathered around the queen and larae to protect them from the potential threat. Using their stingers, they injected a potent venom into the worm to paralyze it. The meal worm stood no chance and its only purpose now was to serve as food for my colony over the next few days. But I could tell the colony was getting way too big for this tiny tube. And they were even trying to break their way out. So I figured now is a good time To expand them into a bigger home. This

is a hybrid nest and it's going to be their new home. So I connected vinyl tubing and soon enough one of the ants started to walk towards the new nest. After discovering it, she traveled back to her home to tell the rest of the colony about the new found land. And slowly over the rest of the day, everyone moved into the nest. I let the colony get used to their new home for a few days. But by day six, I was bored of Just looking at the ants in a plastic nest. So, I wanted to

build their first realworld habitat with live prey and predators, a desert. For the build, I built up the substrate, starting with a drainage layer, and then I added in a mix of sand and coconut fiber for the floor. I finally added in rocks, wood, and cacti to make it, you know, a desert. The desert was complete. So, I connected the ants with another vinyl tube. And quickly, a couple workers Ventured into the uncharted territory. In order to give a reason for the colony to explore further into this desert, I sprinkled some of their favorite food

around the habitat, dandelion seeds. And let's just say those seeds made the ants start swarming into the desert. And everyone was doing their part to take food back to the queen. But one of the ants traveled a little too far into the desert and came across This little pit. Thinking it was nothing, he made the worst decision of his life and walked into it. Something was attacking and the ant could do nothing about it. You see, earlier that day, I had placed ant lion laraes into the desert. These guys create little holes in the sand

and wait for an unlucky ant like this guy to stumble in. But this ant wasn't going to die without a fight and grabbed on with his Mandibles. The ant lion was actually losing and didn't even have a grip on the ants. But the ant lion was smarter and used his ability to burrow and pulled the ant under the sand, never to be seen again. While the ants liked the desert, they had to be careful to avoid the deadly predators. Anyways, I wanted to add a desert themed prey into this habitat to give the ants a

solid protein source. So, let me Introduce you to Mexican jumping beans. These guys may just look like giant seeds, but in reality, they move. That's because inside of each of these beans is a little caterpillar that would eventually turn into a beautiful moth. But these caterpillars will not be turning into moths because the ants are going to eat them. Now, to be honest, I thought the ants would just swarm the jumping beans and dig their way into them. But in reality, they didn't really React to them. So, I had to expose the juicy prey inside

by cutting them open myself and putting them right next to some of the colony. And well, it's safe to say that the ants enjoyed the soft membrane caterpillars that they could split in half with their mandibles. Okay, that's actually pretty brutal if I'm being honest. The colony slowly started to build up their food supply at their home base with seeds and the caterpillars. And of course, the excess food led the queen to start laying more and more eggs. And after only a few days, the colony's population was getting ready to boom. So to prepare for

all the new ants, I'm going to build another entire habitat for the ants to explore with all the new predators and prey. So in this weirdly shaped terrarium, I'm building a rainforest. Honestly, it's a little complicated on how I built it. So, I'm just going to show you these sped up Clips. And there we go. I'm going to first fill up this rainforest with some Kentucky blueg grass seeds. And then I've also got some flightless fruit flies for the ants to get even more food. Of course, where there's food, the ants will venture. And within

a few minutes, the ants were swarming their new habitat. The flightless fruit flies were the perfect size for the ants to Hunt, and literally single ants could bring them back to the nest. But this wasn't just a foodfilled dreamland. There are predators here, and this ant is about to figure out the hard way. With one wrong turn, the ant makes its way towards a carnivorous Venus fly trap. The ant slightly stepped onto it, not knowing its life could end at any moment. Foolishly, it fell for the bait, as Venus fly traps produce a sweet nectar

to attract insects. As the ant was busy inspecting the plant, the fly trap slowly started to close its mouth, leaving no chance of escape for the ant. You could see the ant slightly moving around inside. But over the coming days, the Venus fly trap will produce a type of acid that will dissolve the poor ants. But carnivorous plants weren't the only thing that ants had to watch out for. as I'm about to introduce a fierce predator into the rainforest. Something Menacing with excellent eyesight and sharp venomous fangs. Everyone, please welcome Jeremy, my jumping spider. A

I haven't fed Jeremy in days, so I expect him to instantly start eating the ants. Wait, wait, what? Okay, it turns out Jeremy is a little bit camera shy and just instantly went to hide in some plants. I tried to push him out so I could film him eating some of the ants, but he just went and hid at another place where I couldn't even see him. Well, uh, Jeremy is in this rainforest. And when he does decide to come out, these ants better be careful. Yeah, it was now day 23, and today I wanted

to simulate some natural disasters across not only the rainforest, but also the desert to see how the ants will react. Of course, over in the desert, I'm going to create a sandstorm. So, I brought over my hair dryer and turned it on. The sand started to fly everywhere, and the ants that were out exploring had to try Their best to cling on to the grains of sand that they could. But over in the rainforest, fog had started to roll in and a thunderstorm appeared out of nowhere. This rain will play a vital role in making

sure the ant colony has enough water to sustain their entire colony. It was nearing the end of the 30-day simulation, and today on day 28, I wanted to see how the ants would respond to an intruder in their home Nest. The intruder I'm going to put in the nest is this dubia roach. So, I removed the glass and put the roach in. Immediately, it crawled down to the bottom of the nest where there were no ants. Now, to be honest, I thought the ants would instantly start swarming the roach, but it took a few minutes

before even the first ant had contact with it. The ant got super scared and fell on his back, but the roach was just as scared and it ran all the way to the exit of The nest. He then crawled out into the desert outworld, never to be seen again. Thankfully, the queen was left unharmed, and the colony got to live another day. Well, that's it for the 30-day ant simulation. They'll eventually grow to have hundreds or even thousands of workers. But for now, say hello to my next pet, which has an absolutely insane special ability.

This is a totally regular fish. Just kidding. It can literally walk on land. Yeah, I just Figured out that there's this species of fish that has evolved over millions of years to be able to survive out of the water. It's called a mudskippper, and I want to keep it as a pet. So, I did what any normal person would do, and I drove to Petsmart so I could buy it. All right. Uh, do you guys sell mud skippers? A mud skipper? Yeah, we don't sell those. Okay. Turns out Pets Smart just has goldfish and these

things. What even is that? So, yeah, they don't have Mud skippers. And it turns out the only way I can get one of these things is by going to this sketchy website and getting one for only $24. Why is it so cheap? This has got to be a scam. Is this thing even going to be able to walk? I don't even have a choice. Let me just buy this thing. Okay. Well, it's b it's going to be here in 7 days, so I guess I just got to wait for them. With one week until the

walking fish got delivered, I needed To create a home for it with both a section for water and land. So to do that, I just went out and bought uh one second. This this 40-gallon terrarium, and I'm going to fill it up with this. I'm just kidding. There's more. A lot more. So yeah, basically a lot of stuff because I want to make this be a dream home for my mudskipper that will have tons of awesome stuff, including a literal parkour course to figure out if the $24 muds skipper will actually be Able to jump

out of the water. All right. Anyways, to build this tank, we can pretty much get rid of all of this stuff. And that's because all we need right now are these. Although, it may not look like it. Inside of each of these packages is rocks. Just for some reason, they've all been individually wrapped. I don't know who did that, but I guess I got to unwrap all these now. 20 minutes later. All right, there we go. Basically, I'm going to use these Rocks to lay out the foundation of the enclosure to separate the land and

water areas. So, I laid some of the rocks out, but then I eventually ran into a problem. Okay, I've just ran out of small rocks while building and the only rocks I have left are way too big. So, you know what time it is. There we go. So, I continued building up the height of the rocks like this because I'm planning on building a waterfall here with a working water flow So the walking fish will be able to play around in it. Now, to fill in the gaps, I've got to use this spray foam to,

you know, spray it. Now, this is where the build gets fun because now I get to use this little pump to make the waterfall actually work. Now, to be honest, I don't really know how I'm going to do this, but I need to somehow send water from this pump up the rocks so then it can somehow flow back down into the water area. Okay, so I guess I'll just try and use this tube that the pump came with and try and send it up over the rocks like that. Well, I guess let me go get

some water and fill this thing up so I can see if the waterfall actually works. All right, moment of truth. Let me plug this in. And it's plugged in. And wait, is it working? Uh, kind of. Okay, this is more of just like a like a sewage pipe than a waterfall. But uh Oh god, why is the water turning brown? What is going Since It wasn't working uh very well, I decided to get some more water and add that in to see if it would help. Okay, with more water, the water pressure of the waterfall

goes up a lot. Bro, what is this? Can you stop going? What is How is Okay. Oh shoot. Oh no, bro. It is spraying all around my room. Turn it off. turn them off though. Thankfully, I found this dial on the pump that let me turn down the water pressure. And then the waterfall was actually working Pretty well. All right, there we go. To finish it off, I glued some rocks on the top to hide the pump. And I also drained out the sewage water because uh yeah, we don't really want that. The waterfall was

now complete, but this is only just the start. I have some crazy things planned for the walking fish, like building a literal parkour course for it to play on. Yeah, I am not kidding. But first, I need to finish the foundations of this enclosure, which means I need to Make it look like a beautiful lake. To do that, I got a bunch of different stuff like wood, which I glued onto the rocks. Now, I've got to add the substrate. So, for the land area, I'm using these black balls, which I'll put behind the rocks and

sloping down the waterfall. Finally, I put a layer of dirt on top to make it look more natural. Now, for the water area, I'm going to keep it simple by just adding in some sand, you know. All right, the Substrate's finished now. But if I'm not going to lie, this kind of looks uh really bad. But the only reason this looks really bad right now is because the final step to making a beautiful lake is to add in plants. And unfortunately for me, I can't really just grab plants from outside. Okay, I don't know why

I even grabbed that. Let me just put it back. Instead, I have to drive to PetSmart again and buy the very, very overpriced aquatic plants There. Holy moly, guacamole. $10.99 for this tiny leaf. Why are these so expensive? This one is literally the same size as my finger. $10.99. That is so expensive. Despite those plants being an absolute scam, I still bought them. And uh yeah, I have plants now. So, I spent a little while using my artistic skills to put the plants around the terrarium, and it ended up looking like this, which, you know,

this looks pretty good. All right, now that that's done, It's time to add the water in again. And this time I'm going be a little more careful to make sure it doesn't turn into sewage water. Also, I figured I should mention this, but I'm using a water that has a very small amount of salt mixed into it because that's how mud skippers live in the wild. So, if any of the freshwater plants die, it it's not my fault. Oh my god, look at this. This is literally like a a paradise. There's a working waterfall. There's

plants. Uh, okay. I mean, that's just normal, I guess, but uh you know, it's still pretty good. And look, this is the best part. I even got a light on it that when I press this button, it will turn it to nighttime. And by nighttime, I mean it just changes the light to blue. But I mean, you still got to admit that's pretty cool. The base of the enclosure was now finished. But there was still 4 days until the muds skipper walking fish arrived at my door. So to make this enclosure even better before he

gets here, I'm going to add a bunch of tiny fish inside. But before adding in the fish, I quickly poured some healthy bacterias into the water in order to let it cycle and make it safe for the fish. All right. Well, uh, it's been a couple days now. Uh, I guess let me just go get the fish. You know, I got to go to PetSmart again. Uh, I'll be there soon. So, I went and purchased the fish and got four of these mollies. Okay, the fish have been acclimating in the water for a little bit

now. And to put them in the water, I'm going to do a super cool transition. So, basically, when I clap my hands, they'll be in the water. 3 2 1 boom. Look at that. That's a super clean transition. But anyways, the fish are in the, you know, the lake. So, I got four fish. Three different species of mollies. And, you know, they look pretty cool. We got like a zebra looking one, some goldfish looking ones, And then there's black one. You know, these are pretty cool. Look at this. This guy's eating the sand right now.

You see that? What the heck? I didn't even know they did that. Okay, wait. I'm not even going to lie. These are actually super cool. And to make it even more diverse, I also got some narrite snails, which will help clean algae and stuff. So, yeah, that's pretty helpful. But, if I'm not going to lie, I'm kind of getting bored of just these normal Fish. So, you know what time it is? It is time to add in the walking fish. The reason why we're all watching this video. So, uh, let's just get to the good

part. All right. I just got a notification on my phone. It says it's here. So, you already know what time it is. It is mud skipper clock. Uh, let me just get this package. Oh, yeah. Check it out. This is the walking fish inside of this box. So, let me open this thing [Music] Up. Get out of here. I'm just kidding. There's nothing actually in this box. The walking fish has actually been acclimating in the water for a while. So, I can already add him into his new home. Right after adding him in, the little

fish started to swim all around his new water area. Even started to play around with some of the other fish. But of course, this isn't just a normal fish. It is a walking Fish. And this little guy clearly knew how to do that very well. Oh my god, this guy is just just walking around on land. This is so cool. Bud skippers are able to defy the law of fish because they have not only the ability to breathe through their gills like all fish, but also through their skin while it's still wet. So, in fact,

muds skippers will actually spend more time out of the water than in the water. So, I don't really know if they can even Really be considered a fish at that point, but I mean, it still looks like one. But the best part of this video is coming up now where I'll be feeding the mudskipper all types of food, including live insects, to see which he likes the most. Then I'll build him a parkour course, and if he can successfully complete it, I'll give him unlimited of whatever his favorite food is. And of course, this little

guy is first going to need a name. So, after searching Through thousands of options, I came across the perfect name. This walking fish will be called Franklin because I just feel like he looks like a Franklin. Anyways, let's feed Franklin some food to see which he likes best out of these. First up on the list, we got house flies. Now, I have 200 of them in this little container, but I only want to feed him a couple of these. So, I'm going to have to be careful that hundreds of these don't Escape around my room.

So, I'm just going to try my best to empty a few into here next to Franklin. And oh, dang, he is going crazy. About three flies had dropped in, and Franklin had instantly sucked up two of them. But one of the flies had managed to escape onto a little leaf. But of course, I wasn't going to let him get away. So, I scooped him up and brought him over to Franklin. I will be honest though, his hunting skills did Need some work as it took him a couple tries just to eat this tiny little fly,

but eventually he got it down. Clearly, Franklin loves house flies, but I wonder if he'll go for some bigger insects. So, next up, I got some meal worms and got straight to dropping them in front of Franklin. This time he was under the water, but that didn't stop him as he tried to eat the worms right away. Although there is a reason why I said he tried to eat the worms because he failed So many times at trying to eat it. This guy stinks. And eventually another fish just tried to take it from him, so

he just swam away. But a little later, while Franklin was chilling on the land area, I dropped another worm right in front of him. And this time he leaped onto it and absolutely devoured it. Wait, is he going under the water with it? Wait, I think he just swallowed a hole. Dang. Well, it's clear that Franklin likes meal worms. It is a Little bit hard for him to hunt them, but there's still the final insect to feed him, which are crickets. And these are almost as big as Franklin, so I don't really know if he's

even going to try and eat them, but I dropped them in anyways. The crickets started to slowly move around in the water, and Franklin definitely noticed. Franklin got into position and waited for the perfect moment to strike. And as soon as the cricket moved again. Oh. Oh. Okay. Well, It turns out the cricket scared Franklin away and he just hid under the water. Well, now I know Franklin loves flies, sort of likes worms, and is just straight up scared of crickets. Well, now it's time for the best part of the video where I'll be building

Franklin a parkour course to test how good he is at jumping. Now, you might be wondering how I'm actually going to create this. And well, to be honest, I don't know. Like, actually, I do not have a plan at all. But I guess I'll just start with something I already have, which is this plastic stuff. And I'll quickly just create some little pillars that the fish will have to jump to. Now, we just got to put these into place in the floor. And boom. Here's the game plan. There's three of these pillars that the walking

fish will have to go from jump to jump. And if he gets to the final pillar, I'll give him unlimited house flies to eat since that's his favorite food. All Right. Well, the course is built, so I guess I'll uh just wait and see if he'll complete it. Two hours later. Uh so Franklin never even tried to complete it on his own. I don't really know what I was expecting. So instead, I got some tweezers and meal worms to try and bring him towards the course, but it seemed like Franklin was scared of the tweezers,

so I just had to keep repeatedly dropping the food in the direction I wanted him to go in. And Once he tried to eat it, I picked it up and repeated the process. It eventually worked to get Franklin over to the start of the parkour course, but this is the hard part because now he actually has to jump from platform to platform. So, I tried the same strategy of dropping meal worms, but it was taking forever. So, I had to make it a little easier for him by putting some mud leading up to it. So,

now it's not really a parkour course. It's more just like a a walk Core course. But after doing that and switching over the flies, Franklin started to make a little more progress. But this is where it got hard for Franken because while he could make it up to the first platform multiple times, he just wasn't going to the second platform at all. And he definitely wasn't going to go to the third platform. So I just removed that and decided if he made it to the second, then he would win the unlimited flies Prize. So I

continued trying to bring him there for literally 2 hours, but Franklin just kept abandoning Mission on the first platform over and over. Mission failed. We'll get him next time. So, to be honest, I just gave up and scooped Franklin up onto it because I still wanted to give him unlimited flies. Yay, Franklin. You totally just did that by yourself. Now you get unlimited flies. Here you go, boy. Eat up. Eat up. Oh my god, there's so many Flies. No, they're getting a winner flying around my room. And of course, Franklin really enjoyed those flies. Well,

Franklin is going to be an amazing pet, but we've still barely scratched the surface. This next video has seven different pets. It was really cool. These are the most exotic insects in the world, and I have seven of them that I'll be building homes for and showcasing their coolest abilities. To start off, the first insect I have is This giant Asian mantis. Despite looking absolutely majestic, this is secretly a monster that devour its prey while it's still alive. But to be able to see that, I need to recreate her natural environment in this little enclosure.

So, I built it up with all sorts of stuff like bark and moss. And soon enough, it was complete and ready for the mantis. Now, mantises actually have these little sharp spikes all over their legs, which allows them To grip onto very smooth surfaces like this glass. And because this mantis is so beautiful, I'm going to name her something beautiful to match. So, everyone, please say hello to Bertrude. But Bertrude wasn't the only thing alive in this enclosure as just earlier I had put a couple crickets inside. Immediately after Bertrude sensed them and rushed in

towards the prey with killer instincts. Seconds later, the cricket Was now getting crushed by Bertrude's claws and ripped apart by her alien mouth. But whilst the mantis was enjoying her meal, another cricket walked by. So, she snatched that up and started to eat two crickets at once. Clearly, she was pretty hungry. Now, Bertrude has got to be one of the coolest insects I've ever seen. Like, seriously, she looks like King Kong right now. But there are still six more insane insect species I'm going to be Showing off in this video, including a cow killer that

is known to have one of the most painful stings in the entire world. And I'm going to be holding it. Yeah. But before getting to the cow killer, let's say hello to insect number two, a metallic stag beetle. Now, this is straight up an exotic insect. I mean, it literally looks like it's from the future. This species has some of the largest mandibles out of any beetle species. And honestly, those big sharp Mandibles make me too scared to pick it up. So, instead, I just picked it up with this plastic lid. For its enclosure, I'm

using this 14x 8 in tank. And watch this. When I clap my hands in front of the terrarium, it's going to be instantly built. Three, two, one, boom. Now, that's a super clean transition. As you can see, there's tons of stuff in here like bark and spagnum moss that will be perfect for the beetle to hide under. And speaking of the beetle, I of Course need to give this guy a name. And since, you know, it's the best and coolest beetle ever, I'm going to name him Paul McCartney because uh, you know, I just feel

like that name fits him pretty well. You know, he looks like a p. Anyways, despite Paul having these absolutely massive mandibles, he doesn't even use them to eat prey because he's a boring herbivore. So to feed him, I just got an orange and woo, put it inside. I also put some of This beetle jelly because I think they like eating this, too. But Paul is a male beetle and he looks pretty lonely if I'm being honest. So I also got this female of the same species that is honestly a lot uglier than Paul because she

doesn't even have those cool mandibles, but I put her in anyways. And soon she started to wander around. Eventually, she even climbed onto Paul's back while he was sleeping, which seemed to annoy him. and he got up and walked Away. Not a great start to these Beatles relationship, but I'm sure Paul and this new female will eventually enjoy their home together and might even have little beetle babies. A and remember later I'm going to be picking up a cow killer wasp, which is set to have a sting strong enough to kill a literal cow. I

hope it doesn't sting me. Anyways, as you know, we still have more exotic insects to showcase. And for this next insect, let's play a little game. When I move my camera down, you have 3 seconds to find the insect in the frame. Let's go. And did you find it? Well, probably not because this insect actually has a very special disguise. Scattered around here is a species of insect called filium filipini gums. Um, commonly known as leaf insects. Anyways, I don't have much to say about these guys. I just think it's pretty funny how over millions

of years they've evolved to Look like a leaf. I mean, they could have evolved to have huge teeth and claws and stingers, but no, they evolved to look like a leaf. Now, for their home, I got this glass terrarium that's a bit bigger since we have four of these bad boys, which will all eventually grow to be about five times as big. So, I needed a lot of space. I wanted to make this look like a plains biome. So, I got some artificial grass and I also put a bunch of tree branches all around the

Tank so the leaf insects could pretend to be leaves just like they were born to do. Welcome to your new home, boys. I hope you like it. Or girls. I I don't know if they're boys or girls that most of the little leaves were just walking around and enjoying themselves, but a couple of the leaf insects started praising to the gods or something by raising their hands in the air and doing some sort of ritual. Anyways, these guys diet Consists mostly of themselves. And by that I mean they eat leaves. So yeah, they're basically cannibals,

but their absolute favorite food is blackberries. So of course I put some of those around the tank. Well, this is pretty good. But I think these leaves are going to live a fantastical life in here. Moving on to the fourth insect, we got a fierce apex predator. Not only does this insect have fangs, but he also injects a potent venom into anything it bites. Everyone Say hello to one of my jumping spiders. A Now, yes, technically by definition, this isn't an insect, but by my definition of an insect, it is. So, uh, don't comment about

it. Now, I'm not going to pick up this guy with my hands because they're super fast and he'd probably just jump off my hand and go hide under the couch or something, and I don't want that. So, I'm just going to speedrun his new home real quick with tons of places for him to jump around. And boom. Let's get this little guy into here. These spiders are actually one of the coolest species because most of them have the ability to eat prey up to three times their own size. So, of course, I had to challenge

my jumping spider by dropping in a few pretty decently sized crickets. Immediately, the jumping spider hit on this piece of wood, seemingly waiting for the perfect moment to strike a cricket. But the funny thing was that he Never actually did any attacking. If anything, the jumping spider was actually afraid of the crickets because every time he saw one, he got startled and slowly walked backwards. It was actually pretty funny. So, to feed him, I got a couple smaller crickets and put those inside, hoping he would eat those. But it kind of still seemed like he

was scared of those as well. Well, I guess this guy's just not hungry right now. So, in the Future, if he still doesn't eat any crickets, I'll try feeding him some smaller worms and stuff. But for now, let's move on. I've been saving the best insects for last. And coming up soon, I'll be holding the cow killer wasp, which of course is the deadliest insect out of all of them. But first, for insect number five, let's play another game. I'm going to build this enclosure just like this. And as you can see, I built a

nice little dirt enclosure with Wood and moss. So now, can you guess what I'm going to put in here based off of the enclosure? Your options are A, a shark, B, a dog, or C, an earthworm. The answer is, if you guess shark, you were actually wrong. The actual answer is none of these. Is D a millipede. And yeah, technically, once again, this isn't an insect, but don't worry about it. This species in specific is a pink toad millipede, which to be honest, I don't know why it's called that because Its toes are not pink.

I mean, it doesn't even have toes. If anything, it should be called a orange leg millipede, but whatever. Despite it being kind of disgusting looking, I built up enough courage to pick it up onto my arm and move it into its enclosure. Oh no, this feels so weird crawling on me. What the heck? I swear this is actually like stinging me right now. What the heck? This feels so weird. Yeah, get off of me. You see, millipedes have hundreds of Legs, which helps them grip onto stuff and allows them to even walk upside down. Okay,

maybe it's not that cool. Now, unfortunately for this video, millipedes are the most boring eaters ever and basically just only eat decaying matter. So, I'm just going to put some blackberries in here and uh yeah, call it a day. Enjoy your home, little guy. Now, for insect number six, which actually happens to be one of our most Unique ones. You see, all of the other insect I've showed live on land. Well, this one actually lives under the water. These are bandit diving beetles. And despite looking uh kind of lame, they are actually carnivorous killers that

will eat prey way bigger than themselves. For its tank, I got this 10gallon aquarium. And basically, I'm just going to fill it up with substrate, aquatic plants, and finally some water. Now, the best things about these guys is That they don't even need a water filter since uh they are much less affected by variability in nitrogen or phosphorus concentration because they do not breathe. So, yeah. Uh let's put them in. The little beetles were shy to come out at first, but eventually the tank was swarming with all seven of them. The way they swim is

honestly just really cool because they got these little legs and stuff that they propel themselves with, which I guess is just kind of normal and Not that cool. But uh now I want to show you guys how these beetles eat prey. So to do that, I got some meal worms and dropped them in the water. After a few minutes, amazingly, a beetle stumbled across a worm. So he grabbed it with his legs and pulled it all the way up to the surface of the water. When he got there, he started to absolutely devour the meal

worm by sucking the life out of it. A couple more of the aquatic beetles found some more meal worms. So soon Enough, the entire tank was feeding on these guys. The next day, I came back to find these little lifeless mealorm exoskeletons laying around the floor. Clearly, the beetles had enjoyed their meals. Now, this is the moment we have all been waiting for. The seventh insect, a cow killer. Well, this is just a box, but inside of it, the cow killer awaits. Now, the actual name of this is a velvet ant, but the legend has

it that its sting is strong enough to kill a Literal cow. Hence why people call it the cow killer. And I'm about to have it crawl on my bare skin. But before that, I need to have its enclosure finished so I have a place to, you know, put it so it's not just stuck crawling on my arm. These guys live in the deserts in the wild. So, I'm going to quickly recreate that here by doing another super cool transition. Watch this. As I squeeze my hands in, the desert magically appears. Wow. Okay, now that's actually

super Cool transition. That deserves a subscribe. Seriously, subscribe. Scroll down right now and click subscribe, please. I am begging you. As you can see, I got a heat lamp to make this place nice and hot. And also, lots of little places for the cow killer to hide under. Speaking of the cow killer, I should probably stop stalling and just get to opening it up. So, I opened up the box. And apparently I accidentally bought a dead taxiderermy cow killer and Not a real alive one. So of course I went to buy an actual alive one

online and unfortunately I found out that you can only get one when they're in season through July to October. Now this is where the original video ended. But I have news for you guys. I am working on the dedicated cow killer video right now and it will be up before the end of the year. So stay tuned for that. Well, those are all the exotic insects. But have you ever wanted to see the full Journey of a tadpole turning into a frog? Well, whether you did or didn't, you're going to love this next video where

I do just that. Watching a tadpole turn into a frog is one of the most interesting processes in all of [Music] nature. And in this video, I'm going to spend the next 50 days of my life raising 20 tadpoles into an army of frogs. It wasn't an easy process caring for them, and not every tadpole made it. But here is the full 3month journey of raising tiny tadpoles into fully grown frogs. It all started on day one where I was waiting for the tadpoles to be delivered to my house. So in the meantime, I got

out a glass tank and a bunch of supplies. You see, at first the tadpoles are going to need to be fully aquatic. In order to raise them, I have to make an enclosure that is all water. So I laid down some soil and covered it in a bit of sand. And finally, I put all Sorts of decorations around, like pebbles, wood, and plants. And after filling it up with some cycled water, the enclosure was complete. Dang, check this out. It actually looks pretty good. And I've got some fun plants for when I add the tadpole

in here. But anyways, speaking of those, they're going to be delivered here tomorrow. So, I guess just uh cut to that. Okay, I just woke up and got an email saying there's a package here. And okay, there actually Is. Not even sure if this is the right package, but it does say there's an animal in here, so probably is. And after unboxing it, I got my first look at the tadpoles. And to my surprise, they didn't look very normal. They were actually orange and very large. You see, when I bought them, I actually got a

20 pack of mystery tadpoles, meaning that once they grow up into frogs, it could literally be any species in the world. And some have really cool Abilities. Oh man, I really hope we got one of those rare species. But for now, one by one, I put each of the tadpoles into their new enclosure. And immediately they started to explore all around and even interact with each other. But I guess this was their first time being kept in a glass enclosure because this guy didn't really know how it worked. He just kept swimming into the glass

and uh yeah, I think he got brain damage. Well, that's all there was To do on day two. So, I came back on day three, but something unexpected happened on this day. Shoot, bro. I'm starting to get worried. Look at the tadpoles. Almost none of them are even moving. They're all just like sitting at the bottom. This could actually be a pretty big problem. I got to figure out why this is happening. So, quickly, I did research, hoping to find a fix. And thankfully, I came across this guy that said something about how the problem

Might get fixed from adding in an air pump. So, I immediately got one of those out and hooked it up in the water and turned it on. As you can see, it makes a bunch of bubbles, which apparently spreads oxygen around the water. But even after adding this in, the problem was still here. The tadpoles were still barely moving. Okay, I've got to make sure these guys are all right. So, as you can see, I got out this little bottle of tadpole food. It has some like Protein and stuff. So, I'm really hoping this is

going to get them to be more active. This is my last idea. This better work. So, I dropped in a couple of the pellets and literally like magic, the tadpoles immediately started to move. They must have picked up the scent or something. I even put a ton of them in the middle and they basically all just turned into food eating machines. I mean, look at all of them. The problem of them not moving had been fixed. And Even better news, I noticed that they had these tiny little legs starting to grow. This is a great

sign and it means as they grow bigger, arms will start to develop under the skin and soon we'll have a full frog that can eat insects. Anyways, that's all there was to day three and unfortunately on day four, I came back to yet another problem. Bro, what the heck happened? Why does the water look like sewage water? This obviously wasn't a good sign. So to fix The issue, I got out this filter to, you know, filter the bad stuff out of the water. Thankfully, after setting it up, it cleared the water super fast and the

tadpoles were all fine. So I continued to feed them their tadpole pellets. But that was until day eight. On this day, pretty much every tadpole looked super healthy and they were growing at a good rate. But to my surprise, over across the tank on top of a rock, I saw that one of the 20 tadpoles had died. Dang, Bro. I'm not even sure how this guy died. And I'm really hoping the other tadpoles are going to be fine, too. Now, in the wild, four of every five tadpoles actually don't live long enough to become frogs.

So, while it sucks that this guy died, it's kind of to be expected. Anyways, on the next day, I wanted to prevent any further tadpoles from dying. And considering some of the tadpole legs were getting pretty big now, they should be ready for a whole New type of food to make them evolve even faster. So, let's go cook it up for them on the Terra Green Cooking Show. Today on the menu, we got a very special item. We're making tadpole burgers. The only difference is instead of normal ingredients, we're using some romaine lettuce as the

bun, blood worms as the patty, and some tadpole pellets to add, you know, a little bit of flavor. All right, but anyway, step one is we're going to get our lettuce. Then, I'm just Going to put it under the sink and turn it on. And we're just going to wash it. Hopefully, you can hear me. This is kind of loud and annoying. I'm just washing. And we take the lettuce, tear it up into tiny little pieces, and throw it in a pot of boiling water to, you know, cook it. And then the final step, we

just got to assemble the burger. So, I put down the bottom bun, the burger patty, some of the tadpole pellets, and then the top bun. And boom, check these burgers out. After freezing them for a few hours, I got them out and got ready to feed these burgers to the tadpoles. Oh yeah, I already know they're going to love them. To start, I dropped in two of the burgers. And after about 20 seconds, they slowly started to thaw out and the blood worms started to get unleashed from them. Soon enough, the lettuce also separated and

all the food spread all around the tank. As you can see, it didn't take long until the tadpole Started to notice. They would literally just be swimming around the water while having an end of a blood worm sticking out of their mouth. Looks pretty tasty. I'm just kidding. It doesn't look pretty tasty. Actually looks pretty nasty. I wouldn't want to eat a blood worm. But while they were eating, I actually noticed that one of the tadpoles has now officially entered stage two. As you can see, his back was starting to turn yellow and develop a

little bit of a Pattern. And that's not to mention that his legs were actually getting pretty giant by this point. Bro, this is so good. Most frogs are not this yellow color, so we could actually be getting a really rare species of frog. Oh, this is going to be so cool. Anyways, a few days later on day 11, the colors of this guy became even more vibrant. And there was some super good news. But look, do you see that right there? I'm pretty sure that is his hand about to poke out of His body. I'm

pretty sure this guy's arms are about to grow in literally today. That means we need to build a completely new tank because this is a fully aquatic tank and we need something with a bunch of land area and everything. So, this frog will be able to go onto land and start eating bugs and stuff. So, without wasting time, I got out a new 20galon tank and a few different types of supplies to make a new home. Obviously, with this second Enclosure, we're still going to have a water area so the tadpoles can swim around and

do their thing. But along with that, we're also going to have the land area so that when the tadpoles have their arms pop out, they can start hunting for insects on land, which will be very cool to watch. For the build, I started by putting a wall of rocks along the middle and connecting it with some water safe spray foam. On the left side of the rocks, I basically recreated the First tank with some soil, sand, and a whole bunch of decorations. And then I filled it up with water. Then for the right side, I

put some dirt, sticks, moss, and stuff like that. And it didn't take long for the second enclosure to be finished. All right, check it out. It looks uh all right. I mean, it's going to serve its purpose. Anyways, I want to add that one frog in here once his arms pop out. So, uh let's just wait until that happens. Anyways, it took a few Days until that frog had his arms actually pop out. And by day 15, even his tail was starting to absorb into his body. Dang, this guy's basically a frog at this point.

And that means he can survive out of the water. So, I picked him up onto my hand and I moved him into his new home. Immediately after putting him in, he actually just stayed in the water portion of it for a few hours. You see, at this point, they have very small gills, so they could breathe underwater. But, of course, they also have lungs now, so they could breathe on land. And a little while later, I saw him sitting on the beach portion of the enclosure with half of his body poking out of the water.

He was about to take his very first steps onto land. And once these frogs actually do go on land, I'll be able to figure out what species they are and feed them insects, which is going to be really cool to watch. But first, I want to let you guys know we've made a Special limited edition merch collection just for this video. We've got a hoodie, stickers, and even a poster. And all this stuff is selling out pretty quickly. So, if any of this merch stuff looks cool, make sure you buy it soon cuz obviously if

it's sold out, you can't buy it. We just have so much cool stuff. A bunch of different pets for my channel. And yeah, just check out the website. There's tons more stuff there. I'll let you know more at the end of the Video. But anyways, let's just go back to the frog walking on land. The little froglet slowly peaked his head out of the water and scanned around the land portion to see if there was any predators. And after seeing it was safe, he took one step, two step, and now our first frog had walked

on land for the very first time. Oh my gosh. This is the tadpole. Well, I guess it's a frog now, but this is its first steps on land. It's actually very cool to watch cuz I've been raising these guys for like more than 2 weeks. So, it's this nice little milestone. But the frog didn't stop there. He walked even further onto the land and started to do something that I would have never expected. Oh my gosh. Do you guys see what this guy's doing right now? He's basically burying himself under the dirt. Obviously, this guy's

that cool yellow and orange pattern on his back. And that made me think this is a Pac-Man frog. And now That he's doing this, I 100% know it's a Pac-Man frog. Basically, Pac-Man frogs do this because they wait for an insect to walk above them while they're in the dirt. And when that does happen, it jumps out and eats it. It's very cool. And I'm about to show this guy doing it. But first, on day 16, I scooped the biggest tadpoles out the old tank and put them into the new one so that they would

be able to walk once their arms popped out. I wanted to wait till There's a couple more frogs. So, I came back 2 weeks later on day 28. And now there was a total of three froglets. The original one, another yellow one, and for some reason, even an orange one. Pac-Man frogs can be all sorts of colors, so maybe we'll even get some other types. But anyways, later that day, I noticed the two yellow frogs were chilling in the dirt with each other. All right, I really want to see these guys jump out of the

dirt for some food. So, that's why I've got these crickets right here. Hey, let's just let's just drop some in. Hopefully, something happens. So, I let the crickets loose, but while they constantly walked near and sometimes even on top of the frogs, the frogs didn't really react to them at all. So, instead, I tried to get out some smaller crickets. And oh boy, this is where it got fun. Right after putting him in, this lone cricket went up to the pair of frogs, and the one on the right Tried to eat it, but he missed.

So the cricket tried to run away, but then the left frog tried to eat it, and he missed even more miserably. Yeah, they're pretty bad hunters. But this cricket was just so stupid that he looped back around to the right frog. And this time, he was out of luck because just like that, he was now getting swallowed by the Pac-Man frog. Now, I thought that was going to be all that I got to see, but 2 minutes later, one of the original Big crickets walked by them. I thought there was no way one of them

would try to eat it. But as it slowly got closer and closer and finally tripped on the dirt, the Pac-Man frog just opened his mouth and the cricket fell straight into it. This dude just ate a cricket the size of his own body. And it seemed like the frog on the left was pretty jealous. Yeah, he just kept like licking the frog on the right. I don't really know why he did that. At this point, the main goal Is to get all the tadpoles transformed and get an army of Pac-Man frogs. So, I continued to

care for them and feed them and all of that stuff. But that was until day 40 when there was a huge problem. By now, there was a total of six froglets roaming around the enclosure. But one of the froglets was sitting under a rock with a tail and legs sticking out of his mouth. Even though I was feeding them more than enough food, it had eaten one of the Tadpoles. Now, Pac-Man frogs will basically eat anything, including other frogs. But I figured that since they were so small, there'd be no way they'd eat each other.

But unfortunately, I was wrong. Since I now knew there was even a chance they'd eat each other, I had to separate all the frogs into their own enclosures. So, I went out and got a lot of individual enclosures and some supplies to build everything up. For each tank, it's pretty simple. You Basically just fill them up with about 3 in of coconut fiber dirt. Add some water to make sure it's nice and moist. put in some moss and sticks so they could hide under and put in a shallow water dish. I repeated that process in

a few more of the enclosures. And now you can see I have a lot of them. Now the final step is that I got out some heat mats and put them running along one side of the enclosures to create a heat gradient inside so the frogs will be able to Choose how warm they want to be. All right, check it out. Some of the enclosures are ready for the frog lipids to be put inside. Now, I probably will have to build bigger enclosures as the frogs grow up because they get to be pretty big. But

these should last for, you know, at least a few months. So, this is good. So, on day 41, I scooped each of the six froglets into their new enclosures. And as you can see, that one frog that ate the tadpole was absolutely Massive at this point. He probably wouldn't be hungry for a few days. Like, dang, he he's pretty fat. Soon after putting them in, some of the froglets went to go chill in the little tray of water to get some quick moisture. You see, at this point, most of the froglets have lost their gills

and can only breathe air. So, it's important that the water in their enclosure is very shallow like this so they don't drown. To finish off the day, all the frogs buried Themselves in the dirt, and I dropped a few crickets inside so they could eat. By day 62, I had to build even more enclosures because at this point, every single one of the remaining tadpoles had transformed into frogs, and I moved them all into their new homes. There was a total of 15 Pac-Man frogs. And you're probably wondering, what do I do with all these

frogs now? Well, I guess the only thing I can do is continue to feed them crickets and make sure they grow Up. because as I said, they get extremely big. Yeah, I'm about to have an army of frogs in my house, but I've been saving the craziest pets for last. And this next one is easily one of the most disgusting ones yet. Yeah, just take a look. Today, I was scrolling through YouTube and found a video called feeding giant pet leech, where this guy literally showed off his pet leech and fed it his own blood

for 3 hours. Now, you probably think this is weird, but I Am known for keeping the weirdest pets. So, of course, I found this website that will sell me a pet leech. Dang, $20 for a pet leech. That's a bargain. I'm going to buy two of these things. Let's just get this checked out. So, in this video, I'm going to build a home for them, show off everything about keeping a pet leech, and literally let them suck on my arm. Yes, I am not kidding. I'm going to let them do that. And I might get

some unknown deadly virus. This is easily Going to be my weirdest pet. Anyways, until the leeches got delivered, I got out a 20-gallon aquarium and a ton of rocks to get its enclosure built. Step one to make its home is to make a rock arch. To do that, I got out some water safe spray foam and sprayed the entire left side of the enclosure and then I covered it with some lava rocks. You see, leeches spend most of their time in the water, but they actually have the ability to crawl on land like a worm.

And basically, by connecting all these rocks with foam, I was able to build an arch here that I could cover with dirt to make the land portion of this enclosure. On the land, I put some very simple decorations like a piece of wood, some carpet, moss, and a small plant to complete it. All right, the land area is looking pretty nice and small and cozy, and it's going to be so cool to see the leeches swim onto the land so they can eat food and stuff. Oh, and also, if You're wondering where I got this

beautiful plant is, of course, from Walmart. Got to keep the channel's tradition going, you know. Anyways, step two of this enclosure is to create the water portion. Now, I started by getting out some of this black aqua soil stuff and putting a layer of it down because it'll allow us to grow some beautiful, luscious plants in here. But first, I covered the soil with a layer of sand and started to scatter giant river rocks Along the bottom. I figured it'd be cool to make this place look like the bottom of a river since that's where

leeches live in the wild. To finish the river look in here, I put some smaller river rocks around. And then I put some extra small tiny river rocks around. And then I put some extra extra extra tiny small river rocks around, which aren't really rocks anymore. They're just kind of like gravel. But uh yeah, anyways, now it's time for the aquatic plants. So I drove Over to the local pet store to buy some. Okay, here's the aquatic plants. And I always hate buying these cuz look at this. They're so expensive. Anyways, let me just pick

out a few that look cool. And yeah, this cart right here cost like $70 for five plants. Anyways, when I got home, I used my artistic skills to find the most optimal locations to plant each plant. And by that, I mean I just put them around randomly. But after putting them all in, it actually looked pretty Cool. All right. Dang, this is actually going to look pretty good once I add water in here. And also, it turned out really good how that rock arch makes like a little cave there. That's going to be really cool.

I guess the leech are going to be able to swim there or something. Anyways, leeches are freshwater creatures. So, I just filled the enclosure up with some normal water. You know, pretty simple stuff. And in no time, it was done. All right. I'm liking The look of this a lot, but if you look at the dirt, it's absorbed the water and it's super moist and it kind of looks like mud right now. Now, because the humidity is so high right here, mold can actually grow, which is of course not good for the leeches. But don't

worry because I have the perfect solution right here. Inside of this container, I had some little insect creatures delivered to me for step number three, the mold cleanup crew. These are Springtails, which you may have seen before, but I have a cool idea for them this time. They're basically just super tiny white insects that I guess uh eat mold when it grows in here. And yeah, there's tons of these things in here. So, I just dumped the whole container on the land. All right. I think it'd be really cool to get a time lapse of

these little guys eating. And since there's no mold in here right now, apparently their second favorite food is yeast, which uh Is like a fungus or something. I don't really know. You use it to bake bread. But basically, I'm just going to sprinkle a little bit right here and we'll see what they do. I don't even know if this going to work. So, I waited for the springtails to absolutely devour the yeast up, and they were all kind of gathering up around it, looking like they were probably eating it. And as you can see, this

part of the yeast kind of changed. I don't know if that's just cuz It soaked up the water from the dirt or what. I guess I only record the springtails for like 30 minutes, so it's not a very eventful time lapse, but this is what it looked like at the end. Now, for step number four of completing this enclosure, we got to put some technology in here like always to make it super good. Now, first of all, I got out this machine, which you may have seen in some of my previous videos. Basically, when I

turn this little dial out of the end of The tube, a bunch of fog comes out. So, I set that up on the side of the glass and let it run for a minute. Dang, check this out. It completely transforms it from being kind of boring to like super spooky. And honestly, it's a little bit too much fog. Let me get some of this out of here. Okay, that's better. But, you know, it's cool. Adds the atmosphere. Leaves are pretty spooky. And, you know, I'm going to be letting it stuck on my arm. It's not

going to be Fun. Anyways, for the second technology, well, uh, this one's a little useless, but it's cool. Okay, so I was walking around Target earlier and saw these little robot turtle toys on sale for about like $8. And I think it'll just be funny to put these in the water with the leech, you know, once we add them in. But let's just test them out real quick to see what they look like. Okay, I got it. And I think you just like press these buttons and Oh, okay. Its arms are Moving. Guess we just

put it in the water. Let's see what this thing can do. And uh Oh. Oh, it's moving. And it's just swimming into the the glass. Okay. Okay. I guess it's kind of cool. Uh, okay. It's not that cool to be honest. Let me put it on land. Let's see if it can uh walk on land. And uh yeah. Okay. It can't walk on land. Well, this enclosure is now 100% complete and ready for probably the weirdest pet I have ever got to be put inside. The leeches. So, I guess uh just cut to when I

get that package. Okay, I got the leeches delivered just now. But before showing you guys these, I want to first give some big updates on the channel's merch. It's now available to buy from anywhere in the entire world because everyone from the United States loved it so much. And not only that, but for Black Friday, we're doing a massive bundle sale. Basically, if you buy all three poster Types, you get a big discount on the bundle. And also, if you buy a shirt plus a hat, then you also get a big discount. These bundle sales

will only last until Cyber Monday, so make sure you get them quickly. Also, some of the sizes of the hoodies have started to sell out, so make sure you buy it quick before more sell out if they look cool. But anyways, let's just go back to the leeches. This is going to be cool. All right. Supposedly in this box are the Leeches. I just got them shipped. I still can't believe we're going to be keeping these as pets. And I'm literally going to be letting it suck on my arm. This is not going to be

fun at all, but it's going to be pretty entertaining. But hey, let's just go get these guys in their enclosure. We don't want them in their shipping box anymore. Let's go. So, I brought the box inside and opened it up. Oh no, bro. The leeches are inside this little foam box. I do not Even want to open this up. Inside the box was a little plastic container with water and the leeches, which I moved into this bigger container of water. And well, here they are. My new pet. Aren't they so cute? A Oh, are you

seeing this? This is so disgusting. This guy's just climbing up the side of the enclosure. They're already trying to escape. But despite how nasty they were, I had to transport them to their new home. So, I tried to scoop them out. Okay, I got one Of them up against the wall in this little container. And I'm just going to try and scoop scoop it up. Oh, there we go. Oh. Oh. Oh, shoot. That's not going good. Oh no. Is this thing trying to escape right now? No, this is not the time. Can you please go

back in the container? Oh my gosh, it's just on my table. But eventually, I got it back in and I was able to put both the leeches into their new home. And right after dropping them in, it didn't take long For the leeches to start swimming around and be super active. Basically, how leeches work is they mostly get around by swimming around just like this, like how a sea snake would. But on one end of their body, they actually have a little suction cup so that they can grab onto walls and rocks so they can

stay still. And of course on the other end of their body is the mouth that they use to of course grab onto animals with. Okay, as you guys know these leeches get most of Their food by sucking the blood out of other animals. But before I feed them my own blood, I kind of want to fill them up just at least a little bit by feeding them some other type of food. And apparently Google says one of the best things to feed them is raw liver from the grocery store. And I don't really have any

of that. So I guess let me just uh go get it. So I drove over to Walmart and found some of that raw beef liver that supposedly the leeches will eat. Dang, check this stuff out. It's only$2.44 per a packet of it. That is why we shop at Walmart, everybody. And it does look pretty nasty, but I'm pretty sure the leeches are going to eat this. I don't know. Let's just go home and figure out. So, when I got home, I opened the packet up and got a little raw piece of liver out. All right.

Well, we got the beef liver right here. It's kind of nasty. I'm not going to lie. Slimy and everything. And hey, the leaks Are out and about right now. So, I think I'm just going to drop it in right there. Hopefully, it doesn't make the water dirty or anything. I let the meat sit there for about 15 minutes, but the leech just didn't end up finding it. So instead, I just picked it up and brought it right over to one of them. Immediately that first one picked up the scent or something and latched onto it.

So while that leech rode the piece of meat, I brought it over to the second One. And that guy immediately latched onto it, too. And yeah, I just let them go crazy on it, eating it up for a little bit. Oh my gosh, these leeches are absolutely devouring this piece of meat. I got to make sure they don't get filled up on this meat cuz I still got to eat meat. Can you guys come off, please? Oh my gosh. If they're this hard stuck on the meat, what are they going to do when they're on

my arm? I don't know, bro. This is not going to be fun, Though. All right, it's the next day and the leash are still doing good. And anyways, this is the moment we've all been waiting for. Well, I haven't been waiting for it, but I'm going to let the leeches go on my arm now. So, let me wait for my mom to get home so she can record that. And also, I want to see how she reacts to this new pet leech. Okay, mom, you can come in now. All right. Hi. Hi. I'm just bringing

you in here cuz I want to show you my new pet. All right. So, basically, just look at its cage and I want you to guess what's in there. Oh my god, dude. Do you see anything in there? Yeah, it's in the jar. Yeah, right there. Disgusting. In the jar. I had to put it in a jar just cuz Is it a centipede? A centipede? It's underwater. No, that's a leech. No, dude. A pet leech. Isn't a pet leech cool? No. Is it the sucking of the blood leeches? Basic. Yeah. It sucks your blood. But

you know, we got to feed it. Oh, right. I see where you're going to go with this not happening. Yeah. Yeah. Don't worry. We're definitely not going to be feeding anyone's blood. But I want to show you this thing you see on top. You can put fog inside. That's neat. But I don't only have fog. We also got some turtles. Some little turtles. Um, yeah. They just kind of move around. They're kind of cool. Why is it in a jar like that, though? Oh, you're wondering why it's in a jar. So, basically, it's in a

Jar because I need to do something with it and I need you to record me do something with it. Oh my gosh. Okay. So, basically what I'm going to do is I'm going to pick the leech up and I'm just going to take all the water out. And then I'm just going to put this upside down right here. And basically, I need you to take my phone and record me sucking the blood out of my arm. No, you're not going to do that. Yes, I have to do that. No, we're not. Dude, why do You

have to do that? Because I said I would do that at the start of the video. Oh, right. I'm just going to take the jar and put it here. Oh my gosh. Why are we doing this? Don't worry. No, dude. So, this might take like a couple minutes. I don't know. it to even get out of there. Yeah. You see how the suction cup is on the jar? Yeah. Here. Maybe I can like it. Okay. It could happen right now. It could happen right now. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

No. No. No. No. No. Okay. It's biting me. No. Why? Why are we doing this again? Go back a little bit. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Okay. It's biting me right now. It's sucking my blood. I feel the blood coming out of my arm. Oh my god. No. Ew. It feels so weird. So, basically, it's injecting like a chemical in my blood right now to make it run faster so it could suck more blood out. Oh. Oh my God. Are you serious? Is this Can it really harm you? So, I don't

know how to get this off, actually. No, I'm flicking it off. No, no, you can't flick it off. Okay, so the teeth are like going harder into my body. So, some people feed these for like 3 hours at a time, but yeah, I'm not doing all that. Oh my gosh. They actually let them feed your blood for 3 hours. Yeah. You just kind of want to like trick its teeth into like scaring It, you know, so it all unbite it. All right. And just like that. Get off. Get off. Get off. Get off. Oh my

god. Get off. Get off. Bet me again. There we go. Just like that. It's all fine. That's my new pet. What? No, dude. Let's just throw it in the toilet. Okay, we're not going to do that. Don't worry because we got princess band-aids right here to heal the wound. Oh my gosh. And we got some uh cream or something. I guess you got to put on it. Neospor. Yeah. Okay. So, first we just got to get the cream. Put some on there. Like that. Maybe that's a little too much. And then we have our princess

band-aid. So, we just take that out. Oh, I don't know who that is, but it's very pretty princess. And boom. Just like that, we just fed our pet leech. Oh. Oh my goodness. Yeah. There. You want to try? Nope. Absolutely not. No. Or just throw it in the I'm definitely never doing that again. That's all I'll say. But what's an even Weirder pet than a leech, you might ask? Well, I'll tell you. An alien. And yes, I got a pet alien. just roll the video. I just found probably the most alien looking creature on Earth.

It is literally a mutant creature with the mouth of a spider, the body of a scorpion, and claws that look like saws. And that's not even mentioning that it has some of the weirdest and creepiest behavior out of any animal ever. But despite how weird it is, apparently There's a website that will sell you one as a pet. So yeah, you guys read the title. I'm going to build a home for one of these things and actually keep it as a pet. $20. Let's just get it. Oh boy. And once I get it, I'll be

judging if this alien creature is actually a good pet. And I'll even show it to my mom to get her reaction. Oh my. Yeah, she's going to love it. Anyways, after placing the order, they said they would ship it out in a few Days. So, in the meantime, to build the enclosure, I got out the tank and a couple big boxes of rocks. Yeah, I got a lot of rocks for this. This is because I needed them to start stacking around the outer part of the enclosure to try to make it look like a cave.

You see, in the wild, tailless whip scorpions like to hide in between rocks because uh I guess that's just where they feel safe. I don't really know. And to connect the rocks together, I originally tried to Use my handy dandy hot glue gun and you know, glue them, but the rocks were just too heavy and it kept collapsing over and over. Oh my gosh, these stupid rocks keep falling. Yeah, it wasn't really working. So instead, I resorted to using some animal safe spray foam like always. And I covered it in a bunch of the big

rocks and then a bunch of tiny little rocks. And I repeated that process on the left and right side of the Enclosure. And check it out. Hopefully you see the vision I'm going for. You know, there's a cave. We're making a cave. There's rocks on the walls. Yeah, I think it looks pretty cool. Now, this is a good start. However, you'd be dumb to think this is all I'm doing. I'm making this the best enclosure ever so I can show off all the cool things the alien creature can do. is going to be so cool

to watch. Anyways, the next step is to do the floor and decorations. And for The floor, we want it to be high quality and cheap, which is why I've got a bunch of these coconut fiber bricks, which are about to expand into a ton of dirt. Seriously, these are so cool. You just add a big tub of water like this. Oh, I'm getting that everywhere. And over time, it's going to start to absorb that water and they're going to expand and become a bunch of dirt, you know. And boom. Look at that. I went from

those boring bricks to this nice moist dirt Boy. Okay, maybe it's not that cool, but you know, it's dirt. It's pretty necessary. To top off the floor, I mixed in some wood chips, dead leaves, some moss, and a couple rocks. Now, apparently the alien creature I'm getting has the ability to dig burrows out in this dirt with its claws, but I have no idea if mine's going to do that. So, hopefully it does. That would be pretty dang cool to watch. Now, to decorate the enclosure, I got these Super thin sticks and started to glue

them along the top. As you can see, they kind of look like tree roots, which adds this cool effect to the build that makes it look like there's trees growing above this cave. Nice. And of course, this wouldn't be a terra green enclosure without some plants in here, which, as you can see, I've got a few of. And if you're wondering where I got them, uh, yeah, I got them for Walmart as always. I love Walmart so much. Please sponsor Me, please, please, please. As you can see, all the plants are pretty small since we

don't want it to look too planty in this cave. So, I planted them around and gave it a nice spray down with my water spraying thing. Now, these plants are actually super important because water droplets will gather on top of the leaves, which will easily allow the alien creature to sip them up and get hydrated, which, you know, is good. You know, we got to make Sure he can drink water and stuff. But while I was at Walmart getting the plants, I also found this absolutely majestical stone statue of an alien. Hi, how are you?

Cuz you know, we're putting a tailless whipped scorpion inside of here, which is basically an alien. So yeah, I put that in to finish off the decorations. Bro, this guy's got a big forehead. That's a real shame. Thankfully, my forehead isn't that big. Okay, the first three steps are all Complete, but now it's time to get some technology in this enclosure to make it stand out. The first of which is this big machine right here, which can do something very cool. To get it to work, I had to fill up this container with a bunch

of water. And after it was filled up, I put it back on top and finally twisted this knob right here. And now, check this out. Out of the end of this tube, a bunch of smoke, as you can see, or fog, not smoke. It probably be bad if There was smoke coming out of it. Dang, that is actually cool. Look, it just comes out. I don't know how a machine just turns water into fog. That's That's pretty cool. Anyways, this is actually very useful since as long as I turn this on about once a day,

it will keep the humidity levels at a good spot for this enclosure. Also, it's just cool and adds to the cave ambience, you know. And speaking of cave ambience, this next technology is going to add to it even More. It's this super tiny Bluetooth speaker, which I buried in the dirt and covered with a leaf. With this, all I got to do is connect it to my phone with Bluetooth and I can play stuff like cave noises, which is pretty cool. You know, adds to the cave ambience. But of course, I don't have to make

this speaker just play cave noises. I can make it play literally anything like the most annoying sound in the world. 1 Hour. What is this sound? What? This is so stupid. Okay, I definitely wasn't lying. This is probably the most annoying sound in the world. Um uh I don't think the alien's going to like this if I play this when he's in here. Okay. Okay, I get it. Can you just turn off by now? Turn off. Okay. Oh, okay. But please turn off, please. Okay, anyways, this enclosure is finished enough to be able to add

the tailless whipped scorpion alien creature in here. So, yeah, I guess just cut to then. 2 days later, I got the alien delivered. But before opening it, I've got some big news to tell you guys. Today, the very first Terry Green merch collection is releasing with all sorts of super cool items. All of my coolest pets have been turned into shirts, hats, posters, and stickers. And I even made a special pet alien sticker for this video. that's included in the sticker pack. It's the holiday season and it's the perfect time To buy them. I'll let

you guys know more at the end of the video, but for now, let's just go back to the pet alien. All right. Well, I just went and picked up this package. Says live animals and you know, I'm pretty sure it's the alien. Now, as you guys know, this thing is insanely creepy. I mean, I showed you that video of it literally crawling out of its skin. So, this is definitely going to be my most creepiest pet. But anyways, let's get this in the enclosure I built for it. Let's go, baby. So, I got out a

knife and opened the package up. And oh, here it is. Guess you can't really see anything. There's paper towels everywhere. Okay, hold on. Let me open this up. I then very carefully removed the lid and paper towels to expose the alien creature. Oh my gosh, this thing just going to jump out at me. I have no idea. I'm just going to close the glass though. Yeah, get that closed. Thank you very much. Now, at first it was completely still, and actually I couldn't even tell if it was alive. But eventually, I noticed signs of movement,

and then soon enough, it fully started to climb out of its container. Very creepily, it slowly made its way over to a rock to go into hiding. But it wasn't just any rock. Of course, it was the rock with the alien statue on top. Well, well, well. I told you guys this was an alien. Only a alien would go under the rock with an alien on Top of it. But anyways, as I said at the start of the video, I'm going to be pranking my mom with this thing. But before I do something like that,

let's just see what it's capable of by trying to feed us something. I don't know. Let's just put some food in here, though. And after doing some research, it turns out that tailless whip scorpions absolutely love crickets. And thankfully, I always have a bag of crickets since all my favorite pets eat Them. And immediately after putting them in, they actually all looked very happy. These stupid crickets really thought that this was their new home and they were just going around eating moss. Well, little did they know that this home actually belonged to my tailless whip

scorpion. And unfortunately for one of the crickets, it made a wrong turn. It walked straight into the crevice of the rock that the alien creature was sitting inside. I thought for sure that That cricket was a goner, but miraculously about a minute later, it walked out the rock unscathed. A little later, I saw the alien creature in a different spot, hanging onto a wall. And just like before, a cricket walked straight up to it. And in fact, this cricket was extra stupid. He started to walk right in front of the alien's literal mouth. But for

some reason, the tailless whip scorpion was not eating it at all. Okay, it's the next day and I Figured out why the alien creature in here isn't eating. It's because this species is partly nocturnal. And as you can see, I just have massive studio lights shining super brightly on here. I guess he just doesn't want to eat in the light. So anyways, I want to let this guy just kind of adjust to the new home for about a week. And I guess I'll just come back then and we can do the rest of the stuff.

In the meantime, here's this cool video by Aquarium Pets of the same Species eating if you're wondering what that looks like. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Anyways, let's get back to the content. Okay, this is the absolute best part of the video because I'm going to show my mom this alien creature and then I'm going to prank her. And if you're wondering how I'm going to prank her, just take a look at this thing. It's basically a oneon-one model of the tailless whip scorpion. And yeah, I'm basically just going to throw it at her. She is

not going to be happy. But anyways, she's not home right now, so I guess I'll just cut to when she is and we'll show her this. Okay, you can come in. All right, so I just got a new pet and I just want to show you it. Now, come stand over here and you can try and tell what it is. I just want you to guess what kind of pet I got. Uh oh my gosh, it looks super cool. Where's it at? Can you see anything in there? I'm trying my hardest. Okay. Well, it's Hidden

behind this rock, but Shut up, dude. Do you know what it is? No. If you look very closely back under that rock, there's something right there. Oh my god, dude. I'm scared. For some reason, she couldn't really see it. So, I gently woke it up with a spatula. And here's her reaction. Oh my god, dude. What the heck is this? Seriously? No. Oh. Yeah. This alien and mindfulness alien in there. Oh my goodness. Anyways, I have this fog machine so we can put some fog On it. And that's pretty cool. That's super cool. But seriously,

where did that come from? Uh, I don't know. The space or something. Space. Okay. Anyways, that's all I got to show you. Do you think it's cool? No, dude. It looks so freaking weird. Yeah, it looks like evil. Well, it's a good thing you'll never have to see it again. Okay, bye. Now that she had seen it and left, I got the one-on-one model out and put it on my hand. This is going to be Really funny. Okay, could you come back in here? I just forgot to show you one thing. Oh my god, dude.

Dude, you want to say hello to it? No. Go away. You're such a dork. That's not even real. Yeah, it's just a piece of paper. Oh my god. What do you rate it out of 10? Oh my gosh. I don't know. I'm still I'm still confused. Okay, bye. Okay, so she rated it an I don't know. I'm still confused out of 10, which translates to Probably a 10 out of 10. So yeah, I guess she likes it and I'm going to have to get more animals like this. Well, that tailless whip scorpion alien has an

amazing home. But speaking of amazing homes, this next pet actually didn't have an amazing home. So in this video, I completely transformed it and gave them a new life. Take a look. The other day I was scrolling through Facebook Marketplace and came across this post titled Old Fish Tank has a live fish and Frogs. And just look at this monstrosity. Yeah, this is not even a fish tank. The water is straight up black. And somehow it says there's fish and frogs alive in that. How is that even possible? I I need to save those guys.

So, in this video, I'm going to buy that tank, completely revamp it into the best fish tank ever, and save the fish and frogs that are somehow still alive inside of it. So, first, I had to, of course, drive out to the seller and Fork up the $20 needed to buy it. You see, normally a fish tank for $20 would be a good deal, but this thing has a whole list of problems. But anyways, it's mine now. So, we're just going to go take it home and, you know, run some diagnostics that we're just going

to see if these fish are going to be able to survive. Let's go. As soon as I got home, I got out some water testing strips, and after swishing them around, I figured out that there was a bunch of Problems with the current water. I needed to get the fish and frogs out of there as soon as possible. So, I quickly got a temporary tank, built it up, and added some healthy quick start bacteria to make it safe for the fish. And of course, I can't scoop the fish out of this straight up sewage water.

Yeah, I can't even see through it. So, I quickly set up a filter. And after a few hours, I was able to see through the water. All right, it's 100% clear now. And if There's fish in here, I'm going to scoop it out with this net. Oh, did you just see that right there? It's a good thing these are still alive. Let me get you out. Thankfully, the frogs were still okay. So, I scooped them out and eventually I even found the fish all still in good health. I identified the frog species as African dwarf

frogs, which are able to survive fully underwater. And the fish was the species of black loach, which is this Weird snake looking thing. But of course, now it's time to focus on transforming this. I honestly can't get over how bad this is. Like genuinely, who built this? And to start the process, this thing needed to be cleaned. So, I drained out the sewage water and got rid of it. And of course, I took everything else out cuz uh yeah, we don't really want any of this nasty stuff. If I'm being honest, this is already 100

times better than that Garbage we started with. But we're about to make this 1,000 times better. So, let's give those creatures a new home. Anyway, step one was to buy a lot of money's worth of new supplies. Oh my god, $400. This is going to be an insane build and get them delivered to my house. But for step two, we got to actually get to building. And uh there we go. And to start the build, I'm going to recreate that plastic arch thing that was originally in the tank. And I'm Going to base the entire

theme of the new tank around that. Just obviously I'm going to be using real rocks, not plastic trash pet store rocks that are dirty. Yeah, this is so bad. Get this out of here. Anyways, the build was pretty simple. You just place rocks in and then glue them together. And then repeat that like a billion times. And after literally 4 hours, the cave arch structure was done. And I know, I know it might look like trash right now with All that exposed foam and stuff, but trust me, it's going to look good soon. And speaking

of looking good, let's get to the next part where we add in the floor and decorations. First, I'll do the floor, which I'm mostly going to be making out of this aqua soil stuff. But I also kept some of the original soil from the trash tank because while it was dirty, it was actually some pretty good soil. But of course, it needed to be clean so I wasn't getting deadly Bacteria and viruses in my new tank. So, to kill all that stuff, I decided to boil it in in some boiling water. Yeah. All right. It's

been boiling for a little bit and it's probably killed all the bacteria and stuff. But I was thinking this kind of looks like soup. So, I'm just going to go and see if my mom will try and drink it or something. I don't know. Let's see. I made some soup. Do you want to try it? What kind of soup is it? It's dirt. No, it's Mushroom. Okay. Is it really mushroom? Yeah. No. Like, actually, it is. You can. No, it's not. No, it's not. It's It's raw. No. Yeah, it is. It's mushroom. Okay. I guess

it doesn't really look like soup. She didn't fall for it. Anyways, I added it in and then poured a layer of gravel on top. The floor was now finished. And next up was the decorations, which basically meant I was just going to add some plants and stuff. Yeah, for the plants, I got a Delivery that cost $100 from some aquarium website. And I got straight to planting them. First, I covered the whole top of the cave in this moss stuff to make it look like grass was growing on top. Then for the rest of the

plants, I just, you know, put them around the aquarium as you do. Finally, I scattered some rocks and wood around. I just uh forgot to record that part. So, just imagine this is footage of me doing that. Okay, the whole base of the tank Is now complete. But this is honestly kind of average. Rocks, plants, you know, every aquarium has that. And I'm transforming this into the best aquarium to give justice to the poor frogs and fish, meaning I still have a lot of work to do. Next up on the list is to add custom

technology in here that will make the tank actually cool. And the first technology I got is this little water pump. And to show you what it does, let me fill the tank up with water. Plug it In. And yeah, boy. It makes bubbles. Okay. Uh, maybe it's not that cool, but it is important to have this so oxygen can spread around the tank. Nice. Anyways, this next technology is actually cool. This is an automatic fish feeder. Basically, I just got to set it up on the side, fill it up with all types of tasty food,

and now I just press this button on the side, and it'll drop food. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Or I can set It to be automatic every 12 or 24 hours. But there's no fish in here. Uh, so let me just take this food out so it doesn't get moldy and stuff. Okay, now for the third technology. This one is actually the coolest thing in the world. So basically, I was just wandering around Walmart yesterday and saw this little robo fish that apparently can swim around in the water by itself. That is too cool to pass

up on. So of course, I bought half of their stock. And on the Packaging, it says it even changes colors in the water. That's sick. Uh, but I don't really know how this works. So, I guess I'll just press this button and Oh, the fins are moving. Okay, let me put this in the water. Wait, bro. Look at this thing. This is actually pretty cool. I got to get these other ones in here. Let's see. Okay, all the fish are in here. And this just looks like an aquarium now. I'm not even going to lie.

Bro, the actual fish Are going to be so confused when they see these ones in here. That is going to be so funny. Anyways, for now I'm going to take them out and later I'll be adding them back in with the live fish to see how the live fish react. Now, the final technology, and this, to be honest, isn't anything special. It's just a water filter and a water heater, which is just some basic necessities to make sure our fish and frogs are able to thrive. And speaking of those guys, it's Almost time to see

how they're going to react to the new transformed tank. But before then, I'm going to first add in some friends for them. And I've got a lot of stuff. The first species I added in was a bunch of ghost shrimp, which you know are shrimp. They clean up the tank and stuff. Thanks, guys. But actually, this is a pretty cool species because, as you can see, they're kind of see-through. And because of that, you can literally see stuff inside of their Body. Like this guy just ate some moss. And because of that, you can see

some green inside of his body. Wow. The next species I added in was two new African dwarf frogs and five more loaches. And yes, these are the same species of fish and frogs that were in the original tank. And that's because those species that we already have are all social animals and it wasn't ideal to only have the two frogs and one fish that we started with. The final species I added in was some neon tetras just because uh well they they look cool and they swim around schools and they look cool. Yeah. Well, all

the friends are added now, so of course it's time to add the original frogs and fish inside. Be free. Uh okay. Well, that's kind of antilimatic. Well, they're in here now and I'm pretty sure they're going to live an amazing life, so that's good. But now that it's transformed, this is the best part of the video where I'll be Doing stuff like seeing how the fish react to the robot fish and also I'll even be hatching live prey from eggs to feed the frogs and fish some live food. And speaking of that live prey, let's

get to hatching that now cuz it's going to take a little while to get those hatched. These are brine shrimp eggs, which to start the hatching process, we're basically going to get a pot, throw a bunch of ingredients in there, like a soup, and put in a heater, a Light, and a pump. And yeah, basically, these shrimp are going to hatch in about a day, probably. Uh I I don't know if I set this up right, but I guess we'll see. In the meantime, I had to, of course, test out the robot fish in the

aquarium, so uh be free. Right after adding them, the first fish to encounter them was the little school of neon tetras. At first, they seemed pretty chill about it, just ignoring it and going about their normal life. That was Until one of the robot fish started to rush at them at max speed and uh they all got extremely scared. One of the frogs was also chilling on top of the cave when another robot fish came swimming in towards him. Yeah, he was not going to have any of that. But the thing is, most of the

fish were inside of the cave, so I wasn't able to see their reaction. So, of course, I put all the robot fish inside of it. And uh yeah, they kind of all got stuck and I Couldn't record any of the fish reactions cuz it was too dark. And since I couldn't even reach the robot fish to get them out, they're just going to be a permanent addition to the cave. Nice. Anyways, I let a day pass so that I could come back to the brine shrimp eggs being hatched. And while it looked like 99% of

the eggs hadn't hatched, if we zoom in a bunch on my bad quality iPhone camera, you can see thousands of little dots swimming around. Those are the Brine shrimp. Listen, I didn't say they were going to be big, okay? So, I got my water sucker, sucked them up, and was ready to feed the fish. I first put a little bit of the shrimp right next to a lone neon tetra, and within seconds, he started going crazy. It even attracted the attention of some of the other tetras, and soon multiple were sucking up all the tasty

shrimp. Next up, I put some of the brine shrimp near a frog, and at first, he seemed to not care, but Then he started to, of course, devour them, too. I guess these brine shrimps taste good. Dang. Finally, I put some of the brine shrimp near a loach. And I was expecting this guy to start eating them, too, but he kind of just uh yeah, he just swam away into the darkness of a cave. Well, even though I found this aquarium as a piece of garbage, I'm happy I was able to completely transform it and

give a new home to the poor fish and frogs that Were alive in it originally. There's one final pet left in this movie, and I saved the rarest for last. You just got to watch this. Trust me, it was insane. There are billions of lizards alive across the world. But out of all of them, one species stands out as unique. But what the hell? Chameleons. You see, chameleons have the ability to be bred to have extremely rare color patterns, like a literal rainbow. But I just came across the rarest color variation that I Have never

seen before. This beautiful red and blue chameleon that literally looks like a Nintendo Switch. Just to represent how rare this is. Let's say there's a billion lizards on Earth and about 1,000 of those are a chameleon with this exact color morph. That would mean there is a 0.00001% chance of this existing. And sure, it may cost $899, but this is going to easily be one of my coolest pets ever. And once I get It, I'll show off some special abilities of chameleons that many of you have probably never seen before. but it's going to take

a few days until it gets shipped out to my house. So, in the meantime, I probably should build up an enclosure for the chameleon with everything it could possibly need to live an amazing life. And of course, to build that, I'm going to need the giant 120galon terrarium and hundreds of dollars worth of Supplies. But to start the build, the only thing we actually need is some dead leaves and bark. You see, to make the floor for a chameleon, you don't want to use normal materials like dirt. This is because chameleons have these special tongues

that when they're shot out, they'll pick up stuff like dirt on the floor and eat it, which will make the chameleon sick. Yeah, I don't want that to happen. So, even though this floor is super simple, it's actually perfect. But, of course, the rare Nintendo Switch chameleon I'm getting is going to need a lot more than this in this enclosure. Yeah, this is just definitely not enough. So, for step number two, I got a whole bunch of wooden branches. Now, as you can see, I installed these two metal bars going across the enclosure, which I'll

start by covering in the branches I have. I made sure to make the branches reach all along the top of the enclosure, the bottom, the sides, and Literally everywhere. And after they were secured in place with zip ties and foam, I covered up most of that ugly stuff with some moss and leaves. So, uh it doesn't look like a 5-year-old made this anymore. I also got a bunch of these vine things, which are basically these long bendable uh rubber sticks that recreate the look of jungle vines. and they curve all around the enclosure. Okay, if

I'm being honest, this does look a little bit cluttered and messy Right now, but trust me, coming up in this video, I got some stuff planned that's going to make this uh, you know, actually look good and be an actually good enclosure. And plus, all these branches and vines are actually very necessary to allow the chameleon to climb and swing around the entire enclosure. And don't worry, guys, because I'll be getting plants to cover up these big ugly foam things in the corner. Speaking of plants, I should Probably put some in here since that's the

next step to finishing this amazing home. But uh I don't have any right now. So I'm going to go to the plant store. Now of course I drove to Walmart as always to buy my plants. And the plant section was actually amazing this time. I mean they had a way better selection than they usually do. Just look at all of them. Oh my gosh. Are you guys seen this? $15 for this giant plant. Okay, that is actually a super good deal. You're only going to see deals like that at Walmart. That is why I come

here, guys. So I picked out all the plants the rare chameleon could possibly want and brought them home. All right. So, obviously I've got plants now, but you'd be stupid if you think I'm just going to put these straight into the enclosure. Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm going to make these plants way, way better. And what I mean by that is I'm going to make them look extra cool with Some animal safe red and blue paint. Yeah, I'm going to paint these plant pots to be the same color as the chameleon I'm getting. I

don't know why. I just think it'll look cool. Okay. Yeah, I did I did this on every plant pot. It took forever. But after letting the paint dry for a few hours, I started to scatter the plants along the floor and sides of the enclosure. And in no time, I was done. And check this out. This looks Uh I mean, it looks all right. I mean, the plants and everything look fine, but maybe the blue and red pots were not the best idea. The paint kind of started to fade. It's not even blue anymore, but

it's still pretty funny. And I bet the chameleon's going to like to see some of the stuff of his same color. So, uh, anyways, we're going to get to the next step. Let's just go to the next step right now. Let's go to the next step. Okay. Anyways, on the to-do list, There's two more steps to make this a chameleon dream home. Starting with some basic technology. And what this means is I've got a bunch of technology like this light bulb, which is necessary, but to be honest, it's nothing special. This light bulb in specific

generates heat. And as you can see, right in the basking spot under the heat lamp, it reaches up to 90°, which is perfect. And of course, in a cooler part of the enclosure, it reaches about 70° so the chameleon won't Get too hot or nothing. You know, we don't want the chameleon to get heat stroke. But another basic technology you need is a long UVB light bulb, which recreates the same UV rays the sun does. And basically, this lets the chameleon get vitamin D or something. It's pretty complex biology stuff, but it's very important. And

finally, I set up a simple water misting system, which, you know, you just press a button and it starts spraying water all around the Enclosure. Yeah, pretty simple, but it's very necessary. Okay, well now that the boring technology is over, let's get some fun custom advanced technology in this enclosure. At the start, I got this big cool blue thing. Wow. You see, earlier at Walmart, I saw these toys that were apparently made by the YouTuber Mr. Beast. And you know, I love Mr. Beast. So, I bought this egg looking one, which I had an idea

for how I could use in the chameleon enclosure. So, I Pressed a button to open it up. And inside was uh this thing. Uh, what the heck is this? Okay, I guess inside there's a Mr. Beast toy that makes that annoying noise. Well, I don't really know what I was expecting, but I guess let me just uh put this inside the chameleon enclosure. And uh there we go. If you're wondering why I put this in here, well, I was just thinking I want to give the chameleon a nice friend. And you know, this is kind

of animal looking Thing. So, okay. I'm sorry. This is stupid. Let's just go to the next technology. And now, next on the to-do list, this one is even cooler than the last. All right. So, for the second thing I'm adding in here, basically I just wanted to make it look more like a home. And as you know, most homes have paintings around their house because that's just what homes have. So, I'm going to add my own custom painting inside of here. And to get the custom Image made, I asked AI to make a picture of

a red and blue chameleon wearing a suit. And oh, look at this. Look at this. Oh my gosh. Wait. Okay, we're going to put this painting inside the chameleon's home. Oh, this is going to be pretty cool. So, I drove to the printing store and printed the image out, hoping no one around me would see me getting these stupid looking paintings. And there we go. Check it out. This looks pretty I mean I mean the Painting looks kind of cool, but uh I don't really know why I added this either. It's a little useless, but

anyways, this entire enclosure is actually pretty much finished. I don't know anything else I can add to it. So, I guess it's just time to add the rare red and blue chameleon inside. Let's just cut to then. So, as you can see, I got the lizard right here. And uh I don't know what I'm doing outside. I should probably just go put him in the Enclosure. So, I opened up the package and immediately was amazed by its beauty. Oh my gosh, this thing looks super cool. Okay, wait. This is easily going to be my coolest

looking pet. The only thing to do was open the lid and let it crawl out when it was ready. And of course, it went straight to doing its stupid chameleon dance. But what the hell? Now, as you can see, the colors on it right now are sort of darker than what they should be, and That's because currently it's a bit stressed from just getting out of the shipping container. Coming up, I'll be explaining exactly how chameleons change color and why by showing you guys this rare lizard. But for now, I want to show the amazing

ability that chameleons have to hunt prey from literally across the enclosure. Now, you guys may not know this, but chameleons actually love crickets, like literally all my other pets. And crickets are pretty healthy For chameleons. So, yeah, that's what I'm going to be feeding him today. So, I waited a few hours before putting any crickets in to allow the chameleon to adjust to his new home. And as you can see, soon enough his color started to brighten up. And that means he's ready to hunt. Come on, crickets. Get out. Get out. There we go. Yeah,

get out. I put a few of the crickets inside. And at first, they sort of just started to mind their own business, just walking around Looking for food, you know. But little did they know that they are about to become food for this guy. Hi, how are you? Now, the first ability chameleons have for hunting is their eyes. As you can see, both of his eyes are able to move in different directions, constantly scanning everywhere around him in front and behind at the same time. And it wasn't long until the chameleon set one of his

eyes on one of the little crickets. He started to move into attack Position very slowly. Yeah, chameleons are so slow. They're basically slots. And while this cricket thought he was safe, little did he know what was about to happen. [Music] [Applause] Chameleon's second ability, their insane tongue that's over a foot long. Yeah. Whenever this chameleon was within a couple feet of a cricket, it locked onto the target and shot its tongue directly Towards it. And because the tongue is so sticky, it just brought the cricket in with it so it could enjoy a nice, tasty

meal. And after seeing how cool it was when the chameleon hunted, I got a funny idea. Okay, you see this cricket here? I'm going to get this onto my hand like that. And then I'm literally going to try and feed the chameleon from my hand. You can see it's right there. It just jumped off. Okay, take two. We're going To put this right next to the chameleon's mouth. And there we go. That's the perfect spot. Eat it, bro. Eat it. I want to see this thing eat from my hand so bad. It's literally right in

front of you. Uh hello. You're just going to watch it. It's crawling all around my hand. You have the perfect opportunity and you're not doing it. And okay, I think the chameleon's just walking away at this point. I guess he doesn't really want to eat from my hand. I'm sorry, Cricket, but I'm just going to you're going to get eaten. Anyways, I should probably name this rare chameleon. And like I said earlier, this thing has the exact same colors as a Nintendo Switch. So, I'm going to name my chameleon Switch. Yeah, I mean, it's a

pretty creative name, I know. Anyways, now I'm going to show you guys exactly how chameleons change color. And it might actually be pretty surprising to Some of you. But quickly, I just want to tell you guys that since the last video, you've increased the amount of people subscribed from 5% to 6%. Which is okay improvement, but let's get this to like 50%. So, please, if you're enjoying this video at all, just scroll down and click subscribe. Now, anyways, you might have seen me show you guys this video of a chameleon changing colors. And while this

viral video is actually very cool to watch, it is completely fake. Yeah, Chameleons can't actually control their colors like that. And in reality, they only have the ability to become slightly darker or slightly brighter. This happens because it's super tiny cells in their skin that can get bigger or smaller depending on certain conditions like heat. You see, when I first put Switch in the enclosure, he immediately ran up to the heat lamp and sat under it, which made his color change to be way brighter. Anyway, Switch is very Cool, and I've only just scratched the

surface of chameleon care. I might even end up doing another video where I breed Switch and another rare female chameleon to get an ultra rare chameleon. So, subscribe if you want to see that. Well, guys, that's the end of this insane movie. If you're hearing this, it means you're a true fan of mine and truly thank you. I appreciate all the support you guys gave in 2024.
