I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you focusing on something other than balls and geckos. I mean they’re obviously cool, but man there’s so much these shows offer that never get the time they deserve.
I’m a newbie to the hobby and went to Tinley for the first time on the 7th, and my retinas were basically burnt out by the monotony of ball pythons there, and I love ball pythons.
@@Melisski it’s the fad and they’re easy. I get it, but there are way more options for beginners that a lot may never get to experience because the market has become saturated.
I love that you focused on the unusual finds rather than the billion balls 😅 I love ball pythons but 90% of our local expos are ball pythons and it just gets repetitive
Ya that is what all reptile expos are. I get it, but for those of us that aren't into ball pythons at all.... I would be looking for a video like this one too haha.
Of course that is the goal with my videos showcase the rarer and less often seen animals. Cresties and ball pythons are great and all, but I'd love to see people start to move away from them and enjoy some of the other incredible herpetofauna the hobby has to offer.
Good stuff👍👍Finally starting to see some of the more rare uromastyx species at reptile shows. I wish you would have held the uromastyx princeps but atleast you showed them and it is cool to see the blotchy blue tongue skinks there as well.
Thanks for sharing. Love seeing the animals. I hope to go next year. Did they auction off the AnimalConUSA23 autographed schedule? I worked really hard to get everyone's signatures lol. It definitely had me crying watching this. The love from the reptile community is like no other. Like today on Brian's video, the sculpture Jay got outbidded on. He talked them into donating it to the new Legacy Aquarium. Was a giant leopard gecko. Again ty for sharing. Great video 💚🪖
Im jealous with the amount of reptile expos you guys have over there. In the UK they've become very rare all because of the PRAS interference. The 90s had shoes like this every month without fail & now they're very far & few aftech. It's a shame as I used to always spend a ton of money at these expos. Wish there wasn't so much interference from animal liberation services, they do my nut in.
Great review video! Thank you for showing the diversity! It’s really annoying how majority of the review videos are just ball pythons and people talking to their friends.
Great video but I kind of agree this that guys comment. I think it’s cool to get breed some nice traits and what not but when it becomes a detriment to the animals I think it’s bad. For example intentionally breeding albinos which have poor vision or are blind, can get sunburned, and generally live a shorter and shittier life. Also that crested gecko you were showing I saw another video where the owner said all the other babies from the pair die for whatever reason.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you focusing on something other than balls and geckos. I mean they’re obviously cool, but man there’s so much these shows offer that never get the time they deserve.
Totally agree, and that is why I make these kinds of videos... I would rather people learn/see some other species that deserve more attention.

Ya there was more this year than there was last year! But that is why I tried to get footage of more than just ball pythons!@@Melisski
@@MikeTytula Much appreciated!

Yeessss the frogs
I’ve been watching your expo videos and thank you for showing the frogs in addition to reptiles :’)
Of course!! Frogs are incredible!
Best expo video ever. Mike is showing me what I would be looking for there. Big ups, dude
That is the goal! Show some people some of the diversity that is there, not just the ball pythons and crested geckos.
NGL that auction made me cry in the best way.
Me as well... it was a tough one
Omg that leucistic crestie was adorable. Thanks for sharing some of the more rare creatures.

Thanks for the video. T was fun to see all the different reptiles.
Glad you enjoyed the video!

Ya there was some good stuff!
I really enjoyed meeting you on Saturday. We ended up picking up a female Tokay
It was great meeting you! Congrats on the tokay!
Does the person talking about the green tree monitors have a website or something I can follow for more information?
You can add him on Fb "Codey Kopp", or follow him on IG or youtube Ryzrr

There’s his yt if it’s the same guy.
That is the same guy!
Got some awesome Masked Tree frogs from Josh's Frogs. (Smilisca phaeota)
Nice! Love those guys! Was fortunate enough to see them in Costa Rica when we were there.
21:04, do my eyes deceive me, are those ptenopus geckos??? Don’t see those too often
It sure was!! If those could have come back with us… they would have haha. They sold very quickly
@@MikeTytula I’m sure they did, aren’t they mainly termite eaters or will they eat other things
They will eat other things as well. Granted I don't know a ton about them@@kevinpoe8137
Indonesia so many beautiful snake. I'm so proud of my country👏 love from indonesia dude 🇮🇩
@@ryanhandikaa Indonesia has incredible diversity! Thanks for watching!
@@MikeTytula thanks bro. Sucses for your chanel🙌 i hope you come to indonesia someday
@@ryanhandikaa I hope to come to Indonesia someday as well!

I dont think they auctioned off the schedule. Ya Desiree was kind enough to donate it to them.
Hello Mike How Are You Doing?! I want to go to Tinley One time you going to be there every year? 🎉
We go each october!
At the Indonesian exhibition, there are not many reptiles available
That sucks! There are plenty here!
@@MikeTytula Here it is still very difficult to care for uncommon animals so it is quite difficult to buy and sell them
I picked up 4 imperfect whites tree frogs
Nice! Congrats
Garrett (sp?)is qhicjly changing my ideas about keeping retix I'm considering adding one of his dwarf retix.
Garrett is the best salesman for retics ever hahah
@@MikeTytula yes that plus the retics that that he keeps are very beautiful and not as huge as most retics
Correct!
16:00 ?? Lol
hahah that clip is gold!
Did I just see Adam Wickens officiating a wedding ceremony?
I _did_ think it was him at first 😂
Hahah it wasn't him, but definitely looked a little like him.
Does anyone know what the green snake is at 24:30?
That is a Ptyas nigromarginata
@@MikeTytula thank you so much!
No problem!
Omg my eyes got wet watching that auction clip
Me too
Im jealous with the amount of reptile expos you guys have over there.
In the UK they've become very rare all because of the PRAS interference.

It's a shame as I used to always spend a ton of money at these expos.
Wish there wasn't so much interference from animal liberation services, they do my nut in.
I would love if there was only a couple every year. There is a lot out here, especially when considering all the american expos.
Great review video! Thank you for showing the diversity! It’s really annoying how majority of the review videos are just ball pythons and people talking to their friends.
Hahah that is the goal with my videos! I would like to get some more vendors on video but love showing some of the really cool stuff!
I start by saying this. I love reptiles. But this morphing shit i don't agree with. How would we humans think about being morphed?...
Morphing? What do you mean? Majority of these morphs are found in nature first, then brought into the hobby.
Great video but I kind of agree this that guys comment. I think it’s cool to get breed some nice traits and what not but when it becomes a detriment to the animals I think it’s bad. For example intentionally breeding albinos which have poor vision or are blind, can get sunburned, and generally live a shorter and shittier life. Also that crested gecko you were showing I saw another video where the owner said all the other babies from the pair die for whatever reason.
