@SnakeDiscovery is an awesome team. I hope to visit their zoo one day!

Every time I see Snake Discovery in a thumbnail of a vid like this, I get so scared that they're getting called out for something horrendous, yet every time it's nothing but positive things to say and I love their channel and the work they do just a little more. When I first started getting interested in the reptile community, I followed some not so great KZreadrs at first that didn't treat their animals with the care and respect they deserve. Knowing that Snake Discovery, a channel I've followed since the beginning of my reptile interest days, still has a stellar reputation and has always been forward and honest about their mistakes and faults is so special to me.

They're super awesome and very well versed in their care knowledge. While I DO wish some of their animals had bigger enclosures that aren't zoo animals, the fact that their animals live otherwise one hundred percent spoiled lives makes me smile. Here's to their baby season and the joys it is going to bring!

While generally yes, the video on the alligator in the pet store was very bad. Alligators, even stunted ones, are still capable of dislocating or ripping off your arm or killing something like a small dog (of which there are many dogs in a pet store). It wasnt safe for the reptile and it wasnt safe for the people, and it was negligent to make a video like that.

It's also worth noting how many of these 'viral animal rescue' channels injure the animals they film, too. enough that there was a video documentary on the whole thing some years back, it was rather disturbing to say the least.

Who would have thought when we watched this a year ago that Brian Barczyk would no longer be with us but sadly he passed away today. So happy to see he got the first green card, a legend we'll all miss!

If it hadn't been for the pandemic KZread hole I fell into with Snake Discovery I wouldn't have been knowledgeable enough to recognize when an acquaintance was neglecting a snake. Too small enclosure, no heat source, improper water dish, ect. Needless to say, I now have a rescue snake, haha. Not something I ever thought I would be comfortable keeping, but I love them, and I'm happy I was able to improve their life. I think the snake definitely owes Ed and Emily a lot for making reptiles so much more approachable for people who have only kept the fluffy ones.

Snake Discovery and Goherping are actually the two channels that got me more interested in owning reptiles or at least appreciating them more. I dont have the resources for any at the moment, but I do have hermit crabs and would love to get vampire crabs someday as well.

He had also used the VERY ableist point that "you wouldn't put down a disabled person" in response to pll saying that he breeds suffering animals just bc he gets paid for it. 2. Completely ignored his snakes mouth rot even when people were actively telling him about it. He then later replaced this snake as it died from the infection. Once called out for this he made a video crying on camera saying he was geting "bullied". 3.CONSTANTLY bothers and harasses his animals for content. For example he had sprayed his retic with a hose after just eating, the reason for this was absolutely nothing. Also bothers his animals 24/7 and often acts dramatic on camera whenever issues occur which obviously stresses the animals 4. Creates clickbaity thumbnails which perpetuate the idea that reptiles are huge evil killing machines. 5. And lastly the most obvious one, hes a mill breeder. His animals are kept in awful conditions with cages disgustingly small. These have 0 enrichment and literally consists of a hide and dish. His wife even stated that his new animals were gonna be dead in a week

i'm very glad a LOT of the comments is talking about Brian because, what a kick off for this video... i don't think i need to add as to why Brian isn't a good channel, just because he was a great impact in the growth of the youtube reptile community, doesn't mean everything about his very well documented malpractice should be ignored under the nostalgia rose tinted lenses.

There isn’t enough time in the world to discus why Brian is an awful reptile keeper. Now I will say his keeping has got better over the past few years still not amazing but better however 1. His old videos promoting bad husbandry are still up to influence his mainly young or uninformed audience that don’t know what is right or wrong and I think he is very irresponsible with his influence especially when it is the largest reptile channel. 2. He still shows really bad behaviours to this day that present him and in turn the whole reptile community as many people think everyone is like him as impulsive, go in blind etc when acquiring new animals which again is dangerous to a very impressionable audience. As much as I don’t like him he has fought hard for the reptile community and our rights and he has helped introduce people to the wonderful world of reptiles and has changed many peoples negative views towards reptiles so he’s not the devil but he is by far not the best reptile KZreadr on the platform

I haven’t watched enough of Brian’s videos, but I can say that every video of his that I started watching, I’ve had to click out because I don’t like his attitude/how he treats the animal, and I’m not sure I like the enclosure setups. The racks are quite bland/small.

The fact that Barczyk is number one on this list is truly upsetting. This is a guy who neglected an animal to the point where it's mouth was rotting off, then, when viewers noticed, he switched that animal out for a similar-looking one and claimed there was nothing wrong. That is just one example of his husbandry. I'm saddened that he is allowed to keep animals.

Yes Brian gets anxiety and has depression but he is not a monster for it. He is growing and gets better over time.

Because while some things I could understand would be beneficial to the reptile keeping community, is it beneficial to that species as a whole to continue certain practices? There's a line between this being something for YOU and it being something you do because you love animals and want to give them the proper care. I'm just confused how that is viewed as a win if it's supposed to be about the animals themselves. But I have no idea because there were no specifics given!

I love your videos a lot, and I generally agree with a lot of the things you say, but I whole-heartedly disagree on Brain being 'good' for the community. He constantly posts fear-mongering videos (usually about being bitten, an animal escaping ect) and his stance on spider ball pythons is disgusting. Breeders should be looking to better the breed of the animal they take on, but it's been confirmed that you will never breed the 'wobble' out of spiders, and due to the 'wobbles' most of these snakes have a lower-quality of life. They are suffering, and yet people like Brian put profits and looks over the well-being of their animals. This is coming from a person who works for a dog breeder. We had a girl who kept producing pups with eye issues. We bred her twice; the second time we tried a different sire in hopes that it was the male we were using, but when her second litter came out with eye issues, do you know what we did? We gave her away to a new home and made sure she wouldn't be breed again. Because as a breeder, that is what you do. If you know that breeding two animals together could result in health complications that are 100% attached to the animal you are breeding, YOU DON'T BREED IT. It's that simple. His care of his reptiles also leaves something to be desired. Generally most of his reptiles are kept in wayyyyyy too small of enclosures for the breed (god, just look at his poor larger snakes) and the enclosures he has are barren and completely devoid of any enrichment. Just a hide, water bowl and that's it. His zoo enclosures are amazing, but he has hundreds of breeding reptiles kept in poor and neglectful conditions. Racks can be amazing, take for example Snake Discoveries racks. They are full of enrichment, are nice and large, and are just good quality environments for the animals. Just looking at the two side-by-side is disheartening, because it becomes so clear how lacking Brains enclosures are. I understand that he is a big inspiration for you, but it honestly seems that your admiration for him is clouding your judgement.

Tip for potty training puppies: I recommend grabbing the dog/picking them up, and immediately taking them outside (without putting them down until they’re where they SHOULD be peeing). They normally stop peeing when you pick them up, and will normally continue peeing once you put them back down. If you allow them to pee too often in the house without intercepting them, it will take a lot longer for the dog to get the message of where they’re allowed to go to the bathroom. Also, using a product like Angry Orange pet stain and odor eliminator breaks down the smells fully. Cleaning with something like this will help prevent the dog from smelling where it previously peed (in the house), as they tend to continue using the bathroom in the same general area because they smell it there. Many normal cleaners won’t be able to remove the smell entirely otherwise. (Oh and always immediately reward good behavior with a treat [like if they went to the bathroom in the right place]!) It’s almost impossible to over-do it on treats for puppies-treats help the most for reinforcing any good behaviors you see!

So so glad both of my Ems (Emily and Emzotic aka Emma) got positive reviews 😊 I wanna go to the Snake Discovery Zoo soooo bad. I would probably cry if I met Ed and Emily. They've had such an influence on my interests and pet care.

Shoutout to all the speciality reptile channels - it’s not easy to make content and grow a channel around 1 or 2 species but it’s so great to have them as a resource for people wanting to dive in and learn everything they can about that species.

You’re amazing for speaking up on the people who abuse animals and supporting those with the most ethical practices! I appreciate and support you!!

Pov: you watched him literally praise an animal abuser in the first few minutes of the video and now don’t care about any of his other opinions.

Yeah… :(

I want to add a +1 for Viper Keeper. He's an absolute font of wisdom on hot species, and is very involved in husbandry and breeding of endangered hots for zoos and research collections. Like Kevin at NERD, he's been doing it forever, and has been actively been involved in antivenom research, development and distribution too.

It's so cool that he's /finally/ getting the recognition he deserves too. Not that he seems to want it - but more people owe it to themselves to watch his channel. You learn so much about hots.

i love how not even 2 minutes in and we start off with a bold lie. Brian literally breeds spider balls and sells them for a profit. thats what we call trash in the hobby.

@@souleater9574 So you a liar or you own some of the first snakes of their kind? I I highly doubt your claims and I am very sure anyone who has the slightest inclination about Spiders being as every single Spider suffers from Wobble. So congrats and maybe don’t lie next time… Although maybe you didn’t notice in your twenty years of keeping?

Snake Discovery is one of those channels where I can't say enough awesome things about them. Emily and Ed are just the most wholesome kind of people! I really enjoy Chnadler's channel too, he's a bit like a Steve Irwin from Florida XD The way he handles his animals did make me a bit skeptical at first, but the more videos I watch the more I see how much he repects the dangers involved and that he does take safety seriously. His passion for the animals and the knowledge he shares has always been fascinating. Love how these videos can help branch people out. I found this channel through Snake Discovery, and from there I've been looking at a few others. Been thinking about getting a corn snake some day, so all new knowledge gained is good :D

One channel I really like that's a bit newer than this video (or got popular after this came out) is definitely Molinaro Snake Lab. Kerry seems really genuine and I appreciate how he handles eggs and babies from what I've seen. I'm extremely picky about who I'd buy from, and he's actually one of the breeders I'm looking at most in the near future, as he has both species I'm interested in.

Right! Him and Green Room Pythons seem very laid back, knowledgeable men with a good heart and interest in the wellbeing of their animals.

I'm so glad there's more positive channels than negative ones :) fortunately I've not had the displeasure of having the disgusting ones you mentioned about come across my feed. I'm kinda in disbelief that that's even a thing. Sad. Thanks for the great video!!

Yeah there’s a difference between being misinformed by pet store employees (even though they should research even after the employee says something) and those who are wrong and too ignorant to learn and refuse to try to do better

I met Emily from snake discovery in a random place and she was so sweet and genuinely and talked with me for like 15 minutes despite that she was clearly busy doing something else. I’m an undergrad and we talked about the importance of women in stem and it was just so nice. I definitely look up to her as an incredible science communicator

Adam, It says a lot about you for sharing and opening our eyes to the good and the educational channels, as well as the bad ones. I totally agree with you opinions as well. Thank you.

I’ve got to say you’re pretty spot on with all of these, Chandler is a friend of mine that I’ve hung out with a couple of times and he’s just as genuine off camera as he is on camera, he’s always informing and caring about his animals and how they’re doing, love your videos! Keep up the awesome work

Chandler is amazing, he avoids drama like the plague, and even when he's involved in it, he rarely brings it up, minus what the city was trying to do to him... I cannot believe they were holding secret meetings to try and get his permits taken away, but FWL came in for that clutch save and said to pretty much get over it.)

One you missed out was Dingo Dinkelman. I love his utter enthusiasm and love for snakes of every variety. He's a South African version of Steve Irwin with how hype he gets spotting and interacting with the snakes. You can't help but get hyped along with him.

Totally agree about Dingo. He was literally my favorite reptile channel. I'm still so sad about his channel being taken down.

Watching this a month after Brian passed was really sad but I agree, he got many of us interested in reptiles (myself included) and may his legacy live on. 🖤

I love Snake Discovery. They taught me about morphs of snakes that I didn't know existed, especially the more concerning ones like the spider morph. I also love their baby videos because they explain about the veins on the inside of the eggs when they create slits in the tops of the eggs when the babies are ready to hatch along with the color of the fluid too and whether the fluid is a good sign (it being clear) or a concerning sign (cloudy or yellowish). I learned way more about snakes on their channel than I have from reading books that only tell you about the more common morphs and breeds.
