I started watching reptile videos about a year ago and I really didn't want any reptiles and now I'm sure that if I get one it'd be a gecko, which translates to the fact that I want one now. xD
I've just started selling invertebrates and i'm finding it quite hard knowing how much stuff i should be trying to list etc. so this came at the perfect time. Thanks :)
Hey Alex. You’re probably not going to read this. Since quarantine started, I’ve felt more depressed and anxious than usual. I’ve started disconnecting from my family and friends and I feel so alone. The only support I have is from my snake, and she can’t help as much as a person can. I’m too scared to tell my therapist and my parents think I’m overreacting. But I just want to end it all. Your videos have helped me take a few minutes to realize that there is good in the world and I can get through it. It’s just very calming and inspiring to watch videos about amazing creatures. You also have a very soothing voice. I don’t get joy from anything anymore, not even hobbies I used to like. Everything feels pointless and there’s no reason for me to be alive. I just wanted to tell you that even though you didn’t intend to, your videos help me when I feel really isolated and lonely. Thank you so much, Alex.
I hope you’re doing better than when you posted this. I know you said you’re too scared to tell your therapist how you’re feeling, but that’s what they’re there for so please talk to them (or someone else). Hang in there, Sofia. ❤️
Some curly hair products to you... 1. Catwalk by TIGI: a cheaper curl definer 2. Rusk smoother: a leave-in conditioner that helps to prevent frizziness 3. the company CAKE: anything by them is amazing!!! the packaging and stuff is more feminine, but my cousin, an overly "manly" and athletic guy, recommended the brand to me and I love it!! Also, you should use a hair dryer and a diffuser since your curls are pretty tight. since my curls arent as tight, i just use a dry towel. You could make a video of testing different curly hair products and stuff like that.
It has been a while since I have watched your videos. Thank you for the information. You were able to put in some points which could be very helpful in more than selling animals and it is appreciated. You seem to have learned a lot in the last couple of years and are able to admit that tubs and rack systems are helpful for a business in their own ways. Nicely played.
Thank you 😊 number five was my favorite one of all, you are one smart person, you’re going to go far in life I guarantee it good luck and I love your channel, and what you do for animals!
Great video! I am going to be getting a new pair of jumping spiders tomorrow and I was planning on breeding them when they're older, this video helped a lot
Hey, I just wanted to say, I'm so fucking glad you added step 5. I love animals and pets, but I hate with a passion the pet industry. To be entirely honest... I cried a little... lmao...
Morphmarket is a great way to market animals. I had a website for two weeks with no sales and thought I'd never sell anything and then made a morphmarket account and have sold over a dozen reptiles in under 3 weeks. I'd say 99.9% of people on this sight do not scam you and you can look at their ratings and see if other buyers were satisfied!
After watching your videos I’ve decided to get a leopard gecko off of Craigslist with a full set up. His name is Nugget and he’s a very happy boy after redoing his set up
fairs to him though people should get past his views and just watch him, i’m not gonna let politics get in the way of me enjoying his content, and i’m a massive socialist so that’s saying something haha
@@niamhwalker3967 i love his youtube channel and i think he has his head screwed on right when it comes to animal husbandry but i absolutely cannot stand his personal twitter. almost everything he says is layered in an unknown level of humor and he might read constructive crit, but he doesnt acknowledge specific information he has been corrected on frequently enough for my tastes. i know i cant change him and even if it annoys me, its not my job to change him, thus, unfollowed there, only watch here.
When it comes to enclosure images, are you specifically asking for permanent setups? I ask because often my quarantine enclosures are somewhat lacking comparatively...
Bearded dragons are a good easy lizard as long as you pay attention to lighting, also skinks are amazing. If you want a more snake like lizard ask for a legless lizard!
Dose he have any arguments for why you can't get one besides " I said so"? If that's the only argument he has get it yourself. Save up money for the supplies and animal, and if you're a minor get a family member to take you to get it.
I have my own project going on and it was what I wanted to do but it happened way too early and I have loads of babies on the way. I'm taking invasive and native species of louisiana and rehoming invasive ones, and now I'm breeding all of these lizards geckos and skinks.
It would be nice if more exotic sellers required proof of vets. Dog shelters around here call the vet and ensure you have an appointment booked for the animal before purchase
Not a fan of getting investors or business loans if it can be avoided. I think it's great for many people's ventures but I prefer putting my own money in. Also I don't think it's a big enough market for the sharks although I'm a big oleary fan :)
GoHerping just go on and ask for something they’d probably say no to or you can also turn down their offer if you get one and you’d still get the air time hopefully!
I am going to be getting a lizard very soon, and all these websites say different things on how to care for it, so could you let me know what I need for it?
i’ve bought two leopard geckos from online breeders, both never asked me about my experience or proof that i could take care of the reptiles. i know i could but it was weird that they never asked anything of me. nothing against these breeders/companies but they were taking a gamble selling to me. what if i was a child taking their parents’ credit card or someone who abuses animals?
Hi, this is a question completely unrelated to this vid😅 but when you feed corn snakes mice, do they digest everything? Or do they leave parts/ spit parts out? I want to get one but my parents say they will leave bits and it will smell
Thank you for this video. I recently got a rough green snake from an acquaintance. I set up her a beautiful arborial huge enclosure, and surprise surprise, shes wild caught. Shes also due to pop a clutch within the week. Those were unexpected expenses. So now I have baby enclosures and an incubator I didnt plan on. So I've been soaking up information like a sponge trying to figure out what to do with the babies if they survive. Or they could all be slugs I have no idea they arent out yet I'm just prepping in case. I wasnt sure if I should sell them, or give them away or send them to you 😅 all I know is I have a pregnant snake. I'm used to reptiles I've just never had eggs or anything. My first clutch. I was planning on breeding her far in the future after I had more information and a but of experience through other breeders. Just didnt turn out how I planned. If you have any information on them please share with me, I know you have some little ones.
Hey Alex, do you think slightly tighter legislation around selling exotic pets might provide the appropriate amount of accountability for reptile breeders?
I’ve got a question for you. If you’ve got a front opening reptile enclosure is there a greater chance of springtails infesting the rest of the house outside the enclosure?
Question; do you recommend pyrantel pamoate suspension for a grown bearded dragon, pretty sure he has a parasite or bacterial infection. Some black runny poo. Still urinates. Just rescued this beardie from a horrible owner, he was impacted and now his not. Wondering if what’s coming out is the infected poo that has been backed up for months
Thurston thank you for being worried! But just so u know I did resort to taking him to the vet, which I alrdy planned. But extra information and anything to save a expensive exotic vet fee will work. He indeed did say I was right and that he was going threw post traumatic stress mixed in with some over done blueberries which he needed for the nutrients. It’s always best to do your own research and learn about your animals before having some “professional” that most of the times only cares about the money and not the well being of your animal tell I otherwise. Luckily my vet is a on call old friend of mine that charges me for a revisit besides a full check up.
Do you ever trade animals or have you ever heard of anyone trading? I have a clutch of Eastern Box Turtles due soon and I am wondering if it is common to trade a baby for a baby or a baby for an older turtle or if people just sell their babies then buy what they want.
I’m looking at this corn snake on craigslist that comes with a homemade wooden enclosure. I want to give the enclosure to my brothers Beardie bc it’s big and I want to put the snake in a big plastic bin. It’s $300 any pointers?
You should talk about how you go about selling in a humane way... what I mean is what measures do you take to ensure the animals safety and the customers satisfaction throughout your experience maybe even some mistakes
my beardie had eggs recently i did a video on, and i did a care video for milky tree frogs, i would appercaite your feedback as i have learned alot of things about care from watching your videos :)
Will go helping I want to ask you something what about crested geckos. I keep them in a giant tub that is y’all just so they can have proper humidity and etc
I have a crestie myself and I know of a lot of people that keep them in tubs as long as you make sure there is proper ventilation, climbing spots, and hide it should be all good if that's what you're asking.

If my leopard gecko is shedding and doesn't eat, should I worry?
He literally just made a vid to help his competition
Yeah he’s a good person. We need more people like him in the reptile community
that's how confident he is
Well it’s not like we will WANT to put him out of business
He needs competition to be more successful.
his competition has been a major supplier of his rehab and resell animals
"I make youtube videos on reptile stuff"
One video ago: "am I a furry?"
I don’t even own a reptile let alone plan on ever getting one, but HECK YES I am watching this video all the way through and maybe even taking notes.
I have reptiles, but absolutely never plan on selling them and probably would never breed them, I love Alex, I’d watch him eat soup tbh.
I have 10 reptiles lmao
I have 1 reptile
I started watching reptile videos about a year ago and I really didn't want any reptiles and now I'm sure that if I get one it'd be a gecko, which translates to the fact that I want one now. xD

I don't have a reptile, I don't have any kind of pet, I still watch Snake Discovery and Go Herping lol
You have good taste! I love both of them so much :)
Perfect timing, I literally just started breeding crested Gecko's last week
OOH SAME. I'mma breed mine this month
For some reason I read that as bleeding....... I was scared 😹😹😹
I like this kid he give a good perspective that take a averages person a long time to figure out. Good video yung man.
Me wondering how this is the only time we have seen Alex with wet hair.
goherping: makes money selling animals
everyone else: wishes they could do this
I've just started selling invertebrates and i'm finding it quite hard knowing how much stuff i should be trying to list etc. so this came at the perfect time. Thanks :)
Totally impressed by this guy's business skills/principles. Has a very bright future.

That toad tho, he's vibing
For once I've been awake when he uploads since I'm in the U.K and it's normally 3:00 over here when he does
Awesome info, thanks for sharing.
Going to be keeping these concepts in mind as I learn more about breeding and selling :)
2 goherping videos in one week? What universe is this?
Thank you 😊 number five was my favorite one of all, you are one smart person, you’re going to go far in life I guarantee it good luck and I love your channel, and what you do for animals!
i really loved how you explained "the money is more important than the animals"!!
Great video! I am going to be getting a new pair of jumping spiders tomorrow and I was planning on breeding them when they're older, this video helped a lot
I actualy miss the animal update. When will the other update come out?
"Sometimes I just decide to take a shower" ...bigg mood.
Hey, I just wanted to say, I'm so fucking glad you added step 5.
I love animals and pets, but I hate with a passion the pet industry.
To be entirely honest... I cried a little... lmao...
Thank you man, because I’m trying to figure out how to sell my Ackie babies but you gave some good points. God Bless you!

Yes we need an angry lizard update
You should have 2.5 million subs
I've never been so early my god-
"Sometimes I just decide to shower"😂 ...... I love u bro 🖤
I just like you and your channel. Reptiles not so much. But you! Thanks for making them.
Second youtube channel idea: reptiles walking over PC keyboards
RWK
he seems really nice, why do other you tubers not like him?
Because he speaks fact
Thank for this video as I am interested in breeding Leos soon!!
I love the leopard geckos omg my heart! ❤️
You need to make a video How to make a RUclips video" and then "How to edit a RUclips Video" Not for the teaching, your comic timing is amazing.
i literally first thought the text in the thumbnail said “ reptile steeling tips”
I love your channel
See i dont agree with this video because he said he showers EVEN though we all know gamers don't shower😎
I thought your pfp was a Twinkie and now I’m craving them :( I just thought you’d want to know, Ethan
we love u alex 🥺🥺
Thank you for your upload.
Do you have to have permit to sell them?
Thank you.

Good to see one of the uromastyx in a vid - hope they are doing well!
When it comes to enclosure images, are you specifically asking for permanent setups? I ask because often my quarantine enclosures are somewhat lacking comparatively...
I have to give up, my dad won’t let me get a snake, I’ll have to settle for some other reptile. Recommendations?
Legless lizard.
Bearded dragons are a good easy lizard as long as you pay attention to lighting, also skinks are amazing. If you want a more snake like lizard ask for a legless lizard!
or get a snake and claim its a legless lizard
Dose he have any arguments for why you can't get one besides " I said so"? If that's the only argument he has get it yourself. Save up money for the supplies and animal, and if you're a minor get a family member to take you to get it.

This is great because I have a female leopard gecko and am considering breeding and selling her hatchlings! Thank you!
Relly like ur vids hope u reach ur goal... :)
Honestly been following for the last year an if or when I wanna get lots or any reptiles, probly will be the first place I go to vs any local place
The intro we never expected
Would you ever wanna get emerald scales on Shark Tank and made global?

welp only one way to find out...
I'm just here because I like his voice.
Do you have a video about stuck shed. I got a baby corn snake on the 22 of June and it has stuck shed. What should I do.

You need to take that animal to a vet. Not ask random RUclipsrs for advice, which you are unlikely to get.
