      @Bradybrandwood So wow Alexa just told me that Leon can live 20-80 years. That’s quite the range. Have you put him in your will? Just curious because in the parrot world, some of our larger birds can live 80+ and are willed down the family line.

      Yes, an enchanting lobster fellow. I don’t know why it is, but I watched the first Leon video and was captivated by it. I don’t understand how his face/mouth works, and his giant claws are so intimidating, but his little feet on the back look like he’s wearing high heels and it makes me smile. He’s so other-worldly and fascinating. You probably think I’m nuts but I’ve become very attached to this creature and enjoy every new part to his story.

      All creatures are intelligent within the capacity they are created. Observing them live their life is a good thing. Admittedly Leon is in a tank but considering he was on a seafood shelf ready to be boil or freeze to death I will make an exception. I hate zoos only been to one, it was enuff for me to know that no animals should be kept in cages especially those thats on top of the food chain. Will never forget my direct eye contact with a tiger in a dug out shocks me to the core. I couldn’t go any further turn back & waited for my friends by the zebra’s containment..at least they don’t look as miserable. Never will enter a zoo or support one

      @@H_A_L_7 They say lobsters gain a pound for every 10 years of their life so he'd just have to weigh him. Considering he got it from a supermarket, and those are pretty much always like 1-1.5lbs, I'd say he's probably pushing 15-20 years or so. In the wild, assuming they don't get caught or eaten young, they can live up to 100 years he's gonna be around for some time. Although, there isn't much on keeping lobsters in captivity afaik, so maybe he'll live longer or less time. Hard to say really. Lobsters can in theory keep growing and aging forever since they have negligible sinesance (they effectively can't die of old age), and the only limiter on their age is their ability to molt which becomes increasingly difficult as they get bigger and bigger.

    Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but bats commonly carry rabies. Here in CA, it is super common for them to be infected with rabies (not sure about where you are). But....rabies is nearly 100% fatal. Brady, please call your state Department of Public Health to see if you need the immune globulin injection and the multi-dose immunization protocol. In CA, you would receive both if you handled a dead bat.

No idea what else I can put in that he won't destroy. If I had a mini-crab like you did, he'd kill it for sure.

    I'm just back from 3 days in a log cabin in a forest - this is Britain, so when i say Forest, think small wood to you - and I nearly wet myself with excitement on seeing a deer. A solitary Roe deer. Well, actually, the bum of a deer, as it bounced away from me. For this privilege I paid £650 - that's $820 to you. I watch your videos in awe. You live in such a beautiful place. You literally go out your back door and enjoy the most stunning scenery. Thank you for sharing your experiences - I loved your exploration of the bat cave - though rather you than me with all those spider crickets (luckily we don't have those here!). Leon is looking fabulous, and I Iove how you protected the little crab. Your videos are compulsory viewing!

    I would never be able to go into a cave like that... Just the thought of all those bugs and spiders scuttling around makes me shiver. I would feel itchy for the rest of the day worrying about bugs crawling on me.

    As long as you don't hear banjo music coming through the woods, you're ok. That means I'm too busy playing on the computer watching YT videos to go out on the porch. I've always wondered why mylar balloons haven't been outlawed, or at least outlaw large-scale balloon releases. These things can end up anywhere, including being pulled up into the jetstream and sucked into aircraft engines, or end up landing in the lakes, rivers, streams, and oceans only to harm or even kill fish and other marine animals. Not to mentions the trashy aspect of it.
    It's amazing how much Leon has grown! He looks like he really enjoys his home. Since they are filter-feeders, I can only imagine the clams help keep the water clean. No doubt Leon will wake up one night craving something new to snack on and figure out how the pull--tab works on the clams. Have you tried putting in live oysters? A friend once had a very large aquarium like yours with east coast cluster oysters in it. They worked great at keeping the water filtered and clean!
    Great video Brady - thanks for sharing with us! Nothing more relaxing! Back to the banjo ...

    I have always had the softest heart for animals, but even I was surprised at how much I felt that heart in my throat when the little crab was caught out! I knew you’d save him, LeonPapa Brady, but the relief was palpable at my house when you did.
    Thank you for your wonderful channel and beautiful content. To visit with Leon really is to enter an oasis of peace (unless you’re a wayward crab, of course!)

    @16:56 The spider is likely Dolomedes tenebrosus. A fishing spider, and arboreal (normally living in trees). Very interesting to see it living in the dark at the back of a mine.

    Leon ''helping'' bury the clams is such a fascinating behavior ! I wonder what he's trying to do. At least he seems to not consider them food, I guess he would be either trying to open them up or pushing them towards the dirty dishes section...

      @SpringoStar~In Episode 1, I saw faint traces of blue on Leon's legs. As he began to receive a regular diet and grow stronger, his color gradually changed until he molted. He started turning blue after the second molt. Brady takes such wonderful care of his aquatic creatures! It won't be long, I foresee, until he needs a much bigger aquarium.
