You are making my dreams come true!

Much love to you my friend! Appreciate your passion, kind demeanor, and sincerity.

2 beds in a hotel room- it’s for when a friend visits and you stay up too late talking. Or you’re so excited you want to bounce off the walls… okay, maybe jumping from one bed to another should be left to the 5 year olds.

Anytime brother, I appreciate what you and others like you do. It continues to inspire me to push forward with all this. I wish this you tube community surrounding this hobby was a thing when I was younger. I woulda got into this myself. I live near the Reptarium. I’m so fortunate to go there anytime I want but I’m a full time busy man. I wish my hobby was my job. But it never will be, and that’s ok, I make really good money as an underground plumbing foreman. This hobby for me is a labor of love. Like most of us( career, or hobby) we do this because we all love nature. The videos that folks like you and others make (Serpa, Goldberg, Brian, wickens, Tytula, snake discovery, Strand,etc) Please keep it going. I look forward to this content. It keeps me going. I don’t have friends that are about this life. So I just have you guys lol. :)

Hey reptiliatus, i’m doing a school project about reptiles, could i ask you a few questions like an interview over comments? if so, Whats it like running a fairly large reptile channel? what’s it like owning so many reptiles? What do you have to say to any people considering getting a reptile and starting the hobby? if you would like to answer this then thank you so much!!!!!

Ok so I've been subscribed for a long time now however if I'm being 100 I haven't watched a lot of your vids and it's not for any reason at all other than I watch Brian every day and then now I got into ts and I saw y a lot on kats page also petko when u guys found that t in the wild that was epic and I guess it's cuz I never connected with u before for whatever reason but being someone who loves love loves Brian he is my Steve Irwin and don't get me wrong I loved Steve and growing up that is who I watched however Brian really ignited a passion in me and got me thru some truly hard times with his daily vlogging when I was hospitalized for a lil ova 3 months when I saw the title I immediately clicked and u just gained a daily viewer Bec this was the most beautiful video and I finally vibed with ya lol but for real I'm so mad at myself that I wasn't able to go the AnimaCon this last time or the first but which brings up my fear I just truly hope there is an AnimalCon this coming year and I've been praying and will continue to that Brian will be there at the next one but either way I'll be there and I want to make it an annual thing I do for myself every year moving forward idc if that is the only vaca I could take that is where I want to go!
