Thanks for clarification on the emerald scales and sorry you had to do so but you did nail the reasons on the head imo. Also the leopard gecko with his eyes sealed against the light is me before coffee ☕ 😁
I just caught a baby black racer so if you want to try to breed them again I would be happy to give it to you because you know more than I do about snakes.
as always the leo is my favorite lol Also I’m glad you clarified what happened with Emerald Scales because I was curious but I also didn’t want to pry and invade on anyone’s privacy.
Classiest response video! Wasn’t a huge fan of the way Alex portrayed the situation in the video especially with his huge following and the fact you were such a huge part of his channel. Maybe it would be different if you were anonymous or weren’t a content creator but... ya. I’ll quit my rant. Love both radiant reptillia and emerald scales. We definitely need more companies doing what you all are so I’m glad there are two:)
I love colubrids. I’ve never been into ball pythons at all. I think my next snake might have to be a white corn snake :-) I watch both of your guys’ RUclips channels. And I like both channels. Sometimes business partners have to split and that is OK.I think both of you have handled it fine and neither of you should have to explain anything to the RUclips world. But I do admit that I am glad you guys are still friends at some level.
For the first half of the video: Very interesting! I honestly couldn't care less if I ever "own" an animal with a morph. Klaus (my 'normal' ball python) is the most wonderful snake and people that can't see how beautiful he is are just blind, in my opinion. That being said, I am always fascinated by everything that has to line up for morphs to happen. The science of it is fascinating and they are pretty to look at it. As for the second half of your video, I'm sorry people can't just mind their own business and that you have to dedicate part of a video just to put rumors to rest. I never got the impression that there was bad blood or that you were the villain in some comic I didn't realize existed. I really wish people could just chill and stop making drama out of nothing. Business partnerships are often dissolved over differing opinions. It doesn't mean you guys are waging twitter wars and going to divorce court. *sighs
@@syedbakhtiyar9457 Lol, I'm not a bro but I appreciate your question. I put own in quotes because I find claiming ownership over a living thing to be kinda strange. Yes, technically it is true, but still feels weird to me. And yes I added a sigh at the end because the drama people create over things on RUclips ranges from hilarious to exasperating, this situation being the latter.
Dear Ethan, I first saw you in alex's channel and I have been following both you since 2 years ago. You haven't uploaded in a while and I was worried that you have decided to stop because of what happened a while ago. I like your persnonality and your vids and hope you continue doing youtube and your business. Hope you can refriend alex since both of you are pretty young and can still turn over a new page.
Maybe I am wrong to say this, but the reptiles on your website are literally more expensive than they would be from a breeder. I don't see how rehoming a rescued animal for a breeder price makes sense. The ball python was listed at $400. Even a pacman from was listed as $50. Black eyed lucy ball pythons go for like $300 from breeders and pacmans go for like $20. Can you help me understand please..?
Sure! First off it depends on where you get your animal. I have seen some black eyed lucys for as much as 600, as well as some for as low as 300. I payed 40 for my personal pet pacman frog, and it was not a fantasy. Secondly, I must price on the higher end BECAUSE I work with rescues and rehomes so much. It means that I am not mass producing anything like a breeder does, so the profit margins on each animal are lower. I cannot rescue this many herps for free, its taking up more time than a part time job at this point. The animals need homes and if I want to be able to help them I need to also make enough money to put food on my table and support myself. Thirdly, after explaining why I attempt to price the way I do, let me explain why I can do it with a clean conscience. My animals are breeding quality, or better depending on the breeder we are comparing to. I may not have as much info on their extended family backgrounds, but each and every one is in superb health, while many breeders will sell undernourished or thin animals. Additionally I go lengths to ensure all my animals have enriching and proper enclosures, while many big breeders keep all their animals in huge racks with little to no enrichment and many other issues. Hope this helps you understand!
@@RadiantReptilia Thank you! I didn't think about it that way. I see where you're coming from and I am sorry if I came off as rude. Maybe you should bring the reasoning behind your prices up in a video. I have seen a lot of people say similar things to what I said so clearing up any confusion like the confusion I had might help people understand why your prices are what they are.
@snoopy dubination I think you and I disagree on basic premises. I don’t think its wrong to up-charge based on color, even for breeders, because it took more work to produce the animal. Breeders are the ones that set the prices and therefore the demands. I just insert myself into the world that already exists, and charge similar prices so I can actually support myself and continue to rehome as many animals as I can.
I ran across this channel on accident- I had no idea you had a youtube, man. for the first part of the video: I love white animals- I'd love to get a corn snake like that! they're in my top three morphs, I just simply can't with how much more expensive they tend to be. :,) white beardies are also pretty cool- if I wanted a lizard that would certainly be up there, but hypos are where it's at. for the second part: I'm glad you addressed all this. I admit I was one of those people that thought some of those things. not nearly as passionately as other people apparently do, but to a certain extent. Now that I've heard your response to those comments it does make it a lot more clear! and it certainly makes this all sound even more silly. I'm sorry you gotta deal with that backlash dude, kinda sucks. will definitely be watching more of your stuff! :D
The business separation part was so interesting! Things like that happen, and very often not that nicely at all! You guys made the right decisions and I’m confident for both of your futures ☺️
I don't usually make comments on videos, in fact I rarely do so. All I can say is after watching your video on how to remove snakes from glue and then this one, I feel like Alex (GoHerping) made a mistake posting the video he did. Even if it was unintentional, I feel that he needs to address the fact that you are receiving so much backlash from his fans for no reason. I have a lot more to say about him, but there is no real reason to; I wish you two the best of luck and look forward to both of your content moving forward.
I got a baby snow cornsnake off Craigslist in January. I think she’s around 8 months old. But I can’t wait until she’s an adult, she’s my first snake :)
Yes Ethan . I gave you a hard time at first because I didn’t know the whole story. Keep focusing on your thing and don’t let those jerks bring you down.
Hey Ethan, really cool vid and channel! We met at the Bentsen State Park campgrounds. I hope you found some interesting critters out in the brush. If you did, it would be a treat if you'd publish some footage. In any case, you got my sub!
Hey! I actually did not take any footage of my time in Texas, I focused more on photography. I’ve been posting the a couple Texas shots each week on my Instagram, @radiantreptilia. Thanks for reaching out, it was great meeting you :)
Don’t you think it was a little irresponsible to put all the animals on one table the beardie was ready to attack the ball python and the leopard gecko could have easily been attacked by both
Hey ethan. I dont know if you'll see this but I had previously made some passive aggressive comments on one of your videos in which you responded to and now that I hear your side of the story I truly apologize. I realize it was wrong to assume. Thanks for this video clearing things up. :)
I'm on Alex's side. HAHA, I'm just joking, lol. I love how you guys dealt with this situation (so frick'n mature). I'm ecstatic for the future for you two, whatever that entails I have confidence that you'll handle it well and grow in spite of difficulty. *I saw you in one of the video's where you guys go "dumpster diving" and figured I'd come by and check you out.
Gorgeous reptiles! Great video 👍 Also I'm glad you and Alex are doing well and I wish you both the best of success!
I haven’t gotten any updates on this channel for so long! Love the video, keep it up!
Thanks for clarification on the emerald scales and sorry you had to do so but you did nail the reasons on the head imo.
Also the leopard gecko with his eyes sealed against the light is me before coffee ☕ 😁
Where did you go. I miss your posts
Ethan was a teacher in his past life, I literally learned something new in every video🧠
this wasn't a pointless video and you're awesome.
I just caught a baby black racer so if you want to try to breed them again I would be happy to give it to you because you know more than I do about snakes.
The corn snake is sooo cool, I really enjoy white animals with accents, like the beardie with her gray and the corn with his yellow!
I’m sorry, but I can’t stop looking at your gorgeous hair Lmao.
Why doesn’t he post no more?
Where did this man go? 😞
11:37 I almost peed my pants laughing.
Why have u not posted a vid in a while
Great video mate was abit nervous when the snake whent near the beardie
as always the leo is my favorite lol
Also I’m glad you clarified what happened with Emerald Scales because I was curious but I also didn’t want to pry and invade on anyone’s privacy.

Where’d you go my guy
Nice video , enjoyed Seymour "nods" 🐸💚🐸
Is that bearded dragon healthy? I don't want to question your judgment but it just looks really thin and irritable, but I'm not 100% sure.
Hey Ethan, Have you looked into HPSP? If your looking at veterinary school it looks like a good option.
Good for you. Happy your still friends
where have you gone?
you've disappeared
Hope you are doing well!

No problem, happy to help explain! And thanks that’s a great thought I may try to mention it next time I have a video with a fancy morph.

I mean I can't change your mind, but if I didn't do what I did I wouldn't be able to rehab or rescue at all. Take it or leave it I guess.
That gecko is fucking beautiful
Idk why he brought up the credit card account then.... obviously it bothered him...
Yellow must just be really stubborn in reptiles huh

Way to sell the video in the intro 😂.. it was interesting though! Not pointless!
Cool! Any chance you could do this with all black reptiles?
If I get enough in, I would love to!
So why did you leave Alex Company
Alex made a video talking about it a while ago. Called something like "how much money did I make selling animals?"
You need to post more, how else are people going to find you...
What?

That means a ton! Thank you :)

I'm here from goherping who else
Bruh Go herpings account got hacked and all his videos are gone 😭
People tend to think bad about you, if they are jealous, especially if you come from money or good looking.
are you still friends with alex ???
Bruh, did you watch the video?
Radiant Reptilia that is a little rude, you have at least said yes or no
@@aLySsA-mc9nw it's not rude. It was a dumb question
this video do be kinda racist doe
bruh
😑 dude....
Ues
Don’t you think it was a little irresponsible to put all the animals on one table the beardie was ready to attack the ball python and the leopard gecko could have easily been attacked by both
I was there and watching them all closely.
Radiant Reptilia maybe you were but it is still a risk that is not worth
