    A friend of mine went to a show in Maryland. Had a frog (legal in his state). Was told they were not legal in Maryland. Put it UNDER the table. Asked a fish cop to verify the law if it was indeed illegal. Was told that it was. Then asked if he had one. Yes, but will not put it out while in the show. Will take it back home when the show was over. Got arrested anyway FOR TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
    I respect law enforcement for the most part, but this was total douche baggery at it's finest.

    Thank you for coming back on , and sharing your knowledge of these Beautiful creatures.
    This is the First time I've seen you smile, and I know thisnis an older video, buy, you are doing what you were put on earth to do. And your love of snakes and gators is contagious. I'm 50 years old, and I've been afraid of snakes my whole life. Like an Irrational fear. So I decided to start watching some snake videos, and I've Completely fallen in love with these Beautiful animals. So thank you, for helping me overcome my fears. I think my next move will be to start visiting pet stores, and maybe hold one, which I have never done.
    Again, you're awesome, and thank you!!! (Ps, you remind me of my son Ben, my big Gentle Giant) 💙

    I am sorry this happened to you and how you were treated afterwards. I had stumbled across the news story when I first started watching your videos. I decided that I was not going to allow them to taint my opinion of you or your channel. What I see through your videos is a passionate and knowledgeable individual that loves his reptiles. Your cages are clean and the animals look healthy. I am scared to death of snakes but have a healthy respect for them. You allow me to learn and grow without having to be near the venomous animals. Thank you. Hopefully you can now release the anxiety and feelings of guilt you have harbored for these past years. Although you felt you owed us an explanation you truly did not.
    BTW I held my first snakes a few weeks ago. The baby corn was super spastic but I understood that he wasn't trying to hurt me but wanted to just get away from me. Once I safely and gently returned him to his enclosure I felt a sense of accomplishment. Thank you.

    I grew up in Reno and caught my first great basin rattlesnake at about age 10. I was hooked. I caught many and once got a more or less dry bite. (Still hurt like hell) work sent me to Tucson and every night I was out catching snakes and caught many species. Then I went to visit a friend in Belize. I read everything I could on eyelash bikers and fir de lances and spent 16 nights in the jungle hoping to catch one. Your videos and others have made me glad I didn't find one. Keep up the good work.

    Good for you dude! When your doing what you love who cares what people think. Those people that made you feel the way you did owe you an apology, especially since they didn’t even ask you what happened first. They really weren’t friends and shame on your uncle for being that shallow. Keep rocking on bud!

    Great story! Sadly another RUclips channel (Desert Wolf Armory) was not complimentary about you 6 months ago.....but I didn't pay attention & have been following you since around 6 months ago. BTW, I've been keeping snakes in Africa & Asia since the 70's....You have my respect for sharing this .😎😁😎

    I really like how you laid out your story. When you fuck up most important thing is recognizing that AND making amends when possible. You have done all that and more.
    I am a keeper and totally can relate to so much of your zoo issues. Zoos are full of soap opera drama!
    I look forward to what you got coming up. Take care and keep on keeping on!👍👍❤️🐍🐍

    Jeez - what a crappy thing to happen. I don't think you did anything all that dreadful! :-) I'm so sorry you went through all that. I admire you very much, respect you and think you have a great attitude. Your new developments are exciting. Good for you to come back. I just today watched my first video of yours - about you receiving the feisty young Black Mamba and I was so impressed by your attitude and the way you were very responsible in dealing with unpacking it and trying to help it feel safe and calm. Yayyyy that you're back. I'm looking forward to looking at your various videos. :-)

    U can see how much you've grown since ur old videos. I had a LONG comment in mind but I'm not gonna waste YOUR time. Simply put, I'm super happy to have u back. I had a similar instance (not with hot though) where I did something illegal with a reptile I owned for yrs. Same thing as far as moving something I shouldn't have. I didn't get caught. Just wanted to say that bc I understand the situation 100%. I can't blame u for doing something that was best for the animals. Even though it's wrong on paper. U could of said "I'll let these go in Maryland. They won't survive through the winter and I won't get in trouble". As STUPID as that sounds ppl do it ALL THE TIME. Good for u man. Thx for opening up. This channel needs that. I love the animals but I'm also interested in u. Just glad to have u and the knowledge u share back. Can't wait for the next video. Those Heloderm though 😮

    I'm terrified of snakes , I've been overseas in 2 wars and still would be more afraid of a snake , even a gardener snake lol. That being said I have a viper tattoo sleeve wrapping around my arm elbow to shoulder, to face my only fear . But I must say , I watch a couple of hours of youtube daily on your, tyler , Chandler's, and others pages for the knowledge and learn more about the reptiles. It blows my mind they way all of you handle the animlas , and I truly see genuine love for these reptiles from all of you . Sorry you had to deal with all that nonsense, and thank you for the story . Take care bud

    I love your videos. I love Cobras and other elapids. I had seen reports on google and what I read did not match up with what I saw in your videos so I knew there had a valid reason for what happened. On your videos, it is abundantly obvious that you care so much for reptiles and I love the fact that you take the time to explain about each and every snake that you show us. Keep up the great work and sorry that you had to go through this.

    You’re from Missouri? Me too. Outside of STL. I recently started watching two channels that randomly popped up in my feed. I’ve never thought about keeping a snake as a pet until recently.
    I’ve been around them and handled them. I’m fine with that. Non venomous. But then I saw Tyler Nolan’s false water cobra and started researching them. They are very beautiful and I’m starting to get an interest in keeping one.
    I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction as to what the relevant laws are regarding certification/licensing and any other educational materials you think I should study before going down this path.
    I want to know as much as possible so I can make the best informed decision I can on this matter.

    The one thing I appreciate the most about your channel and how you handle your animals is how you respect them and treat them appropriately. There are a lot of YT channels with someone VERY famous YT’ers being extremely careless or downright risky handling some of the most venous snakes in the world all for views. You never do that. You handle them, but in the most careful way possible.

      I appreciate you noticing. If I ever get bit know it wasn't avoidable. But I truly believe every bite is avoidable so I don't plan on getting bit. Why take the risk you know having millions of fans would be nice but if that day comes that I got bit doing something stupid the animal would suffer and so would the people who love me. Why risk it
