We went to the Global Pet Expo!
As a reptile store owner, you always want to know the newest and most innovative products on the market. To do this, we regularly attend the Global Pet Expo in Florida! We learned about new products coming out this year, attended educational seminars about running a business, and more. And, the best part is, you get to tag along on our experience! We hope you enjoy this style of video!
Huge thanks to Xtreme Exotics Wildlife Foundation for teaching us about exotic animals in today's video! Go check them out here:

Before anything gets out of control, exotic cats (caracals, servals, etc.) do NOT make good pets. Nor do anteaters 😅 They were only attending the show for educational purposes, so we had a perfect opportunity to teach viewers about these incredible animals 🥰

I did enjoy watching this! I think you should focus on reptiles for new products, as that is your audience and the reptiles need the representation as opposed to dogs and cats - though I love them and did enjoy seeing the cutie pies you petted! The seminars would be interesting too, for those who can't get there.

Thank you for putting this out there! I clicked ready to have to make some comments. When I interned at Nashville Zoo, I talked at baby feedings and you would not believe the amount of people who think a clouded leopard would make a great pet. Like yeah a full grown female is only 35-40 pounds (males about 45-55) but these guys have canines almost the size of tigers. Nursery staff have had claws of 2-3 month olds go through compression socks.

Its too bad you cant edit the video to say any of this for people who don't read the comments. It honestly sounded like the woman who was showing you them was promoting getting these animals by encouraging me to do my research, before go ahead and adopt my own. I'm sure there is context missing but you have a lot of young and impressionable viewers who will not understand that. You are at a pet expo.

Servals are terrible pets. Servals and Asian Leopard Cats and Caracals, and their hybridized versions, are at the TOP of surrendered/abandoned felines. Many vets nationwide who work with dogs and cats will turn you away if you bring in a Savannah because it is a wild animal. PLEASE don't make more - I volunteer at a rescue and it is heart-wrenching what they go through in the pet trade! Even the lady herself said it was common for the moms to eat the young, please don't support the wildcat pet trade because they are NOT designed to thrive in captivity. Edit: I did mean percentage. They aren't likely to have a happy ending in private homes.

Honestly my absolute favorite part of you KZread videos are snake babies being born and the expos. They’re sooo fun to watch.
being a cat person I feel the need to re-emphasize that servals and carcals are *not* pets. Servals have territories of 4-12 miles in the wild, caracals have a minimum territory size of 22 miles in the wild and many have territories much larger. They should never be kept in homes or by private keepers. This is not a "do your research" situation, this is a "don't do it" situation.

To be perfectly honest with you, I enjoy watching pretty much everything you guys make. Your enthusiasm is infectious, and I like watching your videos because you love making them. My favourite segments in these videos is honestly your interviews with the vendors. It doesn't have to be entirely about reptiles or birds or anything. It could be with anyone. I love seeing people talk about what they enjoy doing, and with a lot of these vendors it is 100% a passion for them. You could have made a 10 hour video of just you interviewing the vendors at the show and I would have watched the entire thing.
Please please please post more shenanigans! I need them. I ❤ you guys.

love these kind of video! the only concern i have is highlighting those in the more "exotic" pet trade without proper disclaimers about how 9 times out of 10 they're not suitable as good pets. oh course there was that small disclaimer at the end with the serval, but i definitely think there needs to be more clear discouragement. you're pretty good on this about reptiles - you've always shown how keeping an alligator as a pet isn't a good idea - but i think a lot more needs to go into the more "popular" exotic pets that people like to buy and abuse when they cant care for them correctly, like the felines and foxes and the sort. that's my only concern! otherwise, very happy with this kind of content

I was thinking this too. The amount of exotic pets sold every year is increasing because of viral videos driving demand.

People who watch these videos aren't stupid. I think it was made pretty clear that those animals aren't suitable as pets (not just them saying so but also the fact that the mom of the lynx eat two of her babies and her mentioning that this tends to happen in captivity). They are pretty much only suitable for a near zoo environment or, if you want them in a pet setting, you basically have to dedicate your damn life to them (which is something so owners of exotic larger pets are willing to do and practice).
All in favor of a snake discovery podcast upvote this so they know!! We would LOVE that
the little servals face at 14:42 looked like it was smiling!! so cute! ❤
Stuff like this and Cheyenne's video are definitely fun and enjoyable.

Wow the rex-latte!
I think a Snake Discover podcast would be an amazing idea! You could talk about specific species of snakes and their morphs and where they come from. It could be like an internet zoo exhibit. You could do interviews with other breeders, like the ones you talk to at conventions and get their takes on the reptile world in more depth than you can put in a youtube video. It would be great to use it as a spotlight for endangered species as well. There's a lot of details that you can put in a podcast that you don't have time for in your normal content because you have to squeeze in time for all the animals you feature.
I personally like the business/seminar videos you guys make as long as you're alright with it adding more to edit, post, etc. It gives insight into how much goes into the business as reptile breeders, educators, and content creators and thus helps your audience really appreciate what you guys do. It also gives insight in what it takes to learn new knowledge and skills as you expand your business! 💛💛💛
All for seeing new products, and since I have cats and dogs, all for that, too!
I love these types of videos where you interview all sorts of folks. I can always learn so much from them!
I personally would absolutely listen to a SD podcast!! But I understand that would be a lot on top of what you guys already do!! 💚🖤💚🖤
Love the behind the scenes and the bigger picture of the pet industry in the USA. Also love that your video got featured on the bird food stall ❤❤
I love these types of event videos!!! New products for sure, the seminars tend to be pointed for business owners.
Seeing Emely get soooo exited over animals is seriously making my day !!! ♥
Honestly, I hope you do more with the rescue side of exotic animals, especially in different areas of the world, so that people have somewhere to look if they need help. The reptile product reviews are great too.
I love this type of video. You guys have so many opportunities as business owners to go to places like that where the average person would never go. Its really cool, and learning about new products to the pet world at large (pretty much anything that peaks yalls interest would be fun to hear about) is always welcome/fascinating.
I like seeing the new products, but particularly things about reptiles and birds.
I've been watching you for 2 years now and I'm astonished by you, you have inspired me along my life, thank you and I love you ❤

I do like seing you guys go to expo's and talking to people about new and interesting animals and products! I think a lot of people are a bit uncomfortable with exotic (non reptile) breeders due to the ones that were milling and issues with exotic pets being so easy to get in some areas but maybe if you guys balanced it with rescue sides of it or ways ethical breeders help might be a better way to show exotics 😅 not that I'm saying the ones you showed were bad breeders necessarily! Just that I think most viewers like the rescue side and stuff like breeding to benefit the availability of non wild caught reptiles kind of things if that makes sense?
