I’ll say hi at the next one!! I’m going through radiation so I was using a walker and you are so tall and moved so fast every time I saw you you were on the move. 😭😂 I’ll be stronger in the fall and see you then!!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Please do. Yes I have to move pretty fast to film everything I need to at these expos!

[@leann2045]

Sending healing prayers 🙏🙏🙏

[@AckieGamer27]

Meeting you at the show was amazing! So glad you visited!

[@dzzspotreptariumeducationa6340]

We didn't get to meet you in Arlington but so glad we caught up with you in Tinley. Arlington was great though. I bought my wife chocolate for Valentine's Day. (GHI Chocolate) 😂

[@kyleerosee3]

Those crested geckos are stunnnning

[@AmandaPaige71]

[@LyssasLizards]

Loved running into ya again! Such a great reptile show 🙌🏼

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

[@sammyvargas3679]

Very nice I was glad to meet you and talk to you about Puerto Rico

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Likewise

[@deutschermeister7673]

I saw you over by the Aldabra tortoises, and mentioned the albino rainbow boas! It was a pleasure to meet you in-person 😊

[@kimspurre1242]

Wonderful expo and so many awesome reptiles. I don’t know how you do it every time but your RattleOn awards are always spot on! ❤️🐍🦎🐢

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thank you!

[@marg6883]

Got my first PVC enclosure from Tristan last year! So happy for him!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Nice!

[@andrewjames5373]

I got a pair last year and another this year, been really happy with them!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thank you!

[@crittergirl3647]

Prizes for arthropods and amphibians would be great!

[@technoraptor7778]

Dav!!!! I was there!!! You were zooming everywhere so...I didn't get to show you my awesome new addition I got over there. But I wanted to show you sooo bad. Hes a sanoran leopard boa..at the Wilbanks booth

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Damn! Tackle me next time lol …no. Don’t.

[@technoraptor7778]

Haha even if I did you probably wouldn't notice...im 5 ft 1...and only weigh 82 lbs.

[@nataliesreptiles]

Was half expecting B&B's pied blood python for best snake. 🤷‍♀️ Can't wait to see you at Tinley. I'll be vending for Midwest Expos. A premier set of MONTHLY reptile shows based in the Midwest in Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois. Hoping to expand to Iowa. I'll also be sitting in on the USARK auction at a table.

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

That’s definitely on my radar

[@nataliesreptiles]

@@davkaufmansreptileadventures 👀 Oh? Will we be seeing you at one of the Midwest Expos some day?

[@kotehmacluka4809]

Dave, you might have the coolest life on Earth! I respect you so much and absolutely love your content. You pioneered the industry by bringing so much attention and adoration, it’s truly something special. Love you, man. Keep on keeping on 🖤

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thank you!

[@kgconstrictors]

Amazing Shows!!! Amazing Animals 🐍 🤟🏻

[@kesna8]

It was so awesome getting to meet you! But geeze, even though you casually say how tall you are it never sinks in until we see you towering in person 😅. Thank you for the advice about finding someone to teach me how to properly relocate venomous snakes. That booth at the con didn't pan out but still looking. My son and I watched your vid of you and Clint exploring that abandoned zoo for chuckles on the way home. Keep up the great work you do any maybe next time I'll remember to ask for a pic. Lol

[@karyannfontaine8757]

Wonderful show. I saw a Blood Python who appeared to be a dark red from the Marter line. The animals chosen for awards certainly earned it. Enjoyed interviews with their breeders. Loved the chosen booth and wish I could visit.

[@snakesinthehood]

I live out my dreams through you 😂 awesome video Dav!

[@oun6661]

The albino BRB stole my heart. BRB’s are my favorite species and those albinos are an awesome feature!

[@Wrightreptiles]

Been waiting on this upload ! 💪

[@DowntheRoad40]

Thanks for letting me say hi. Good picks on the awards. Looking forward to seeing you the next time you come in to town

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

You bet

[@Keatonsrealisticreptiles]

Beat vid I've seen in a while thx dave

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Glad you enjoyed

[@Loveofreptiles75]

What a great show. I wish we had more here in IDAHO. Great stuff as usual. Keep it up.

[@rebeccafriend4854]

Loved this! Been waiting for your video all week. Home with the Rona.. and needed a good distraction. Rattle on!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

So glad!

[@lilliancassady8954]

I saw you at the expo! I also saw you at the 2021 one, I just never worked up the courage to say hi lol

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Say hi at the next one :)

[@martinexoticsusa]

Dude the start of this video, I met you at Tinley last year in line and I asked to get a pic and you were just like "oh dude totally!!" ....been a fan since haha!!!!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

That’s awesome!

[@abzu96]

Have you thought about coming to the Expos in New York? Just to warn you, our shows are not as good as the ones other states. However, the NY reptile community is extremely strong and tight nit. It would be nice for NY breeders to get some recognition.

[@AtomicGirlPow]

I am new to the hobby with my first reptile, a five-month-old (Mack Snow/Halloween) Leopard Gecko and I am in love! Your excitement and respect really comes through each video. Can you recommend any shows in Virginia? I would really enjoy attending. Thanks for another exciting video.

[@nonabaumgardner4433]

Hopefully I'll be able to meet you soon at Daytona 🥰🥰🥰

[@avaogara]

Wow .great expo..I very n Indiana.texas too far but I saw you at a expo I'd definitely would say 👋 hi dav.huge fan. Do you know bot the Tinley park expo in Illinois?

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Of course! Haven’t missed one since 2008.

[@Jleejjk]

Was that Anolis equestris potior?? I was at the expo but I did not see those!

[@IsaacLX3]

Here shamefully early but as usual thanks for the great video, loving living vicariously!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thanks for watching!

[@kerryfiddler9530]

Was there last Sat. brought home a new friend, a Thayeri King!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

I was going to buy those albinos but someone beat me to it

[@AnneHughesVaderMom]

Can't wait to wear my Dav shirt! See you at Tinley 😊

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

I'll be there!

[@christysank7705]

this is so cool and maybe some day i will go to Repitle expo that is on my do list

[@jessepease567]

Rattle on brotha!

[@b.duke0811]

The best snake award should have went to the pied blood python!! Wish you had shown it. Good video though!!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Just wait until Tinley :)

[@newforestmorphs1377]

Amazing reptiles Dave. Really enjoyed your tout.

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ianparkinson7039]

Hi Dav awesome expo as always. I was hoping you’d make it to the Penrith reptile expo in Australia this year, but no go. Hopefully next year definitely be nice to meet you in person. Cheers from down under mate 🦘🦘🦎

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

So did I. Next year for sure!

[@TheJoshBartlett]

Awesome video Dāv ! I look forward to meeting you someday at a show! You inspired me to start herping in my home state of California and also inspired me to adopt a Uromastyx as part of my family after seeing your “Uromastyx in the Wild…” video 🔥I hope to travel the world someday and go on herping adventures of my own. Seeing all your adventures is so incredible and motivational!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

That’s great!

[@Dennis-DJMReptikes]

Great video Dāv!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thanks!

[@heatherlynne4653]

I love treehouse geckos!

[@brianhopkins5776]

I am getting a yellow belly pastle python on the first of February

[@bethbaker4275]

I love you and CatAleah together. You make such a cute couple.

[@krisdockery1245]

Which one had the pied retic and wats ur favorite retic morph

[@oscarma15]

Wait what?? I missed this. Why did no one tell me there was an expo near me 🙃

[@sammansfield21]

Which we had reptile shows in the UK. Think there used to be 1, but cant remember where

[@mpk6664]

Waxahatche, TX had a quite large tornado last year. Hope the tortoises were fine. And those crested geckos are my weakness.

[@justintaylor6907]

I hope to see you at the Conroe Tx expo next year, there’s some super cool stuff!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

The NARBC show is really the only one I do in Texas

[@justintaylor6907]

Great video

Thanks!

Do they have chameleons. I want to go to the next one to find a male panther

[@timfoil2319]

Just one more reason to move to Texas

[@ssad17]

Dav, I have a question. How come Rainbow Worms isn’t selling boxes of crickets. They are one selling 100 at most. It’s been 2 weeks like that. I thought you would have the scoop since they sponsor you. Thank you.

[@angelaferraro90]

Can’t wait to meet you at tinley! Hope I run into you!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

I’ll be there!

[@donna7243]

Who had the Lace Monitors?

Always!

Great picks!! I’d leave there penniless, but very happy.

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Thant's just about how I leave every show lol

[@Jleejjk]

Totally missed those Eurydactylodes, what a shame.

[@Upper_echelon_exotics]

Dave! Your second example could have been sun rays...

[@sorrelfinch7857]

What types of snakes are these? 17:18

[@haydenlucas2986]

awesome

[@vexvoltage6456]

Will you be at NARBC STL?

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

I don’t think I’ll make it this time

[@GettingthruLife]

I'm in Dallas. I knew about it, the show but didn't allow myself to go. It would be too hard to see and not buy. I'm sure prices for the animals were nasty high. I have 2 Tegus and a Nicaraguan Boa. My time is full with just these 3.

[@beachaddict7653]

When are you going to finally do a video on wild ball pythons as well as Angolans? I would do it myself but I don't have the funds.

[@LaurenSchraderMusic]

I moved away from Texas last year, would love to be able to go to that expo someday next time I am down visiting my parents. Hopefully its still legal by the time that happens so that the expo can even happen.

[@geckowen8386]

Hey Dav, hope you're well. Will hopefully get seeing you all at tinley october. Ps. Cat says to buy more geckos.

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

I am :)

as much as my own anxiety makes the interactions with fans awkward to watch, it's what makes these videos tbh. the public interactions between reptile people

in my opinion a normal brazilian rainbow boa will always be more beautifull than any morph. but i dont really care abiut rarity.
