Leon Moves To Georgia

This is a huge new video! Leon the Lobster moves from South Carolina to Georgia, and moves into a huge new aquarium. Come along for the ride. This is the longest video in the Leon series, but has so much interesting and enjoyable content! Special thanks to Established Titles for sponsoring this video and making Leon's huge new aquarium possible.

It amazes me that when Leon was first introduced, due to a lack of knowledge (like most) he seemed to me like a perfectly healthy lobster with bad claws due to them being strapped, but looking at him now, his colours, patterns and over all look show how wrong that was. He looks incredible and is a truly beautiful creature.

Tell me about it! Since his molt, he's been so vibrantly-colored. I was curious as to whether that would fade with time... though with how well this big boy eats, I suspect he'll only start looking pale when he's ready to 'respawn' again! 😀

[@SilvaDreams]

@@saraglickman5889 He wasn't really sickly, just not given tons of TLC and a very clean environment. Since he was a live grocery store lobster they were just kept in communal tanks that rarely are cleaned well and it doesn't take long for the muscles in his claws to lock up and grow weak with those rubber bands on so tight, a week or two and he'd have the issues of opening his big claws.

Same. I just discovered this wonderful page and that first moment where he didn’t even react when his claw was freed told me everything I needed to know.

I recently lost my twelve-year-old Siamese rescue, Simon. He managed to pick up quite a few nicknames of his own during the time I had him. I'm still missing him terribly but I did take in a new rescue, a little tuxedo kitten we ended up calling Dolly because she cried on the ride home until Dolly Parton came on the radio then she miraculously went quiet and calmed down. Already she's my "Dolly-Wolly" when she's being cute and getting cuddles. I'm so happy to see Leon still thriving and that he's now moving to a new tank and home. I was born and raised in North Carolina myself, I had an uncle who lived in George for many years too. I hope you all settle in nicely and I look forward to seeing more of Leon's adventures! Edit: Oh, I forgot but the tiny little soft-shell crabs you found in the oyster shells look like pea crabs to me. I discovered a few as a kid looking for shells on the beach and will never forget how they sent my brother screaming because I found "water spiders." I learned what they were back then but I haven't seen any up close since I was seven, so I could be wrong.

I have really liked following Leon and his new life. I did come across this info and thought I would share. : Humans grow old - But not lobsters. In normal cases of cell division, the shields at the end of our chromosomes - called telomeres - are remade a bit smaller, and so a bit less effective after each subsequent cell division at protecting our DNA. When this reaches a certain point, the cell enters senescence and will stop dividing. It won’t self-destruct but will just carry on and wallow as it is. Lobsters, though, have a special enzyme (unsurprisingly, called telomerase) which makes sure that their cells’ telomeres remain as long and brilliant as they’ve always been. Their cells will never enter senescence, and so a lobster just won’t age. However, what evolution giveth with one hand, it taketh with another. As crustaceans, their skeleton is on the outside, and having a constantly growing body means they are always outgrowing their exoskeletal homes. They need to abandon their old shells and regrow a new one all the time. This, of course, requires huge reserves of energy, and as the lobster reaches a certain size, it simply cannot consume enough calories to build the shell equivalent of a mansion. Lobsters do not die from old age but exhaustion (as well as disease and New England fisherman). Keep Leon safe and happy..

My heart sank when I read the title of your video! I thought you found him a sanctuary and we were never going to see him again. His new home is beautiful, and I love that there's other creatures in the tank with him. Thanks for posting the videos of Leon. It would be more than ok if you posted more of them though, I love seeing them.

[@meg2831]

Seeing the salt water and fresh water separation was so cool!

[@angelaandel622]

Lol! You got me with the Ultimate Litter Box! Your video editing skills have gotten so good. I think i can speak for most when i say that we appreciate how thoughtful you are with moving Leon and giving him his new urban lobster mansion.

[@beckyh1369]

So good to see Leon again! He looks so healthy and seems very happy with his new larger home. He made himself comfortable immediately! He was probably thinking “oh well, it was nice while it lasted”, but then he got the best instead of the worst!

[@nickandersonco]

It was nice getting to know you a bit better in this video, Brady! You're also just such a good cinematographer and story teller. Thanks for the update :)

[@mjalbert5359]

On the first day of this new, yesterday, my son and I stumbled upon your video of rescuing a lobster from a grocery. We watched several videos. Your calm manner, thoughtful anecdotes, and attention to a lobster are what we didn't know we needed! Happy moving and glad to know Leon is thriving a year later!!💖💖💖 🦞

[@369poe5]

Love Leon and watching his journey! Just bought his 15 oz mug and can't wait to enjoy coffee every morning with the world's most awesome lobster! Thank you for being an amazing human Brady! I have 5 cats myself and was feeling a little like a crazy cat lady but you and your girlfriend got me beat! Lol!!!

[@mariaq8087]

I never thought the day would come when I thought a lobster was beautiful... Leon is truly something else, and the way you take such good care of him is so touching ♥️♥️

[@astick5249]

Their exoskeleton has multiple layers of pigments so it can look very interesting. Even better is when theres lobsters that don't have some layers present, leaving behind a wide range of rare colour possibilities like blue.

So glad to see Leon tolerated the move well. The new tank is so spacious. I hope Leon will love it and the company of his new tiny friends. He looks so healthy, happy and colorful!

i am in tears watching Leon in the corner as you move his tank over he is so expressive 🥺🥺🥺

Leon is one lucky lobster to have you taking care of him! ❤

[@ruthkaiser6168]

Leon you are a very lucky boy. Your dad has bought you a new home and is is bigger and very very nice. I hope you like it and you tell your dad thank you. Leon you are a very handsome boy. Brady thank you for a great video. I loved you sharing your travels from South Carolina to Georgia and your t trip to the fish store. They sure have some beautiful fish displays. Thank you just loved this video very much. 🦂🐟🐠🐡🦐🦪😊🐈‍⬛

[@bunandcheese4445]

Happy anniversary Leon. I saw you the first day you came home from the fish market. I haven’t seen you in a while but at least your still thriving Leon! Enjoy your new home!

[@marian6593]

The headline for this had me worried as I thought you'd sold or rehomed Leon to someone else. Thankfully you and your family including the cats and anything else you have are going with him so all's good. The amount of money you've spent to give Leon his wonderful life is incredible so it's good that he is able to repay you simply by being healthy and, as far as anyone can tell, happy. Thanks for sharing Leon with us. 😁💖

[@glamdolly30]

Your empathy for other sentient beings does you huge credit Brady. This is a fantastic relocation/upgrade for Leon, and with lots of thought, organisation and effort you achieved it with minimum stress to him - Respect! I was touched that at times you shaded the corner of the new tank for him, with a piece of cloth. I believe it's very important for any creature confined in a tank/cage, to feel one section of it is protected from the outside world like that. Many moons ago my mom had a budgie that lived to the grand age of 19 years, and she swore it was because she always covered the rear of his cage with a dark cloth, so only his front aspect was exposed. Animals exposed on all sides naturally feel vulnerable (predators etc), and can't fully relax. But it takes empathy to realise that, so sadly not all pet owners think to provide a cloth to protect an area of their home and make them feel safe and secure. Great job Brady, like so many others I can't wait to see Leon enjoying his new, luxury home! Great job sir! Much love from the UK. XXX

[@kristopherriemer4807]

Well said! Brady's videos about Leon are good for the soul. They remind me that despite all the negative things you hear about everyday, there are still empathetic people out there putting good things out into our world. Whether it be grand or small, each time we choose to be kind and loving it makes a difference to someone.

[@glamdolly30]

@@kristopherriemer4807 Wise words, I totally agree. Brady restores my faith in human nature. The way he goes the extra distance to give Leon a happy life lifts my soul. What an exceptional human being! I think he's made many reconsider eating lobster too! Seeing Leon grow big and healthy and enjoy his life, when without Brady's intervention he'd have been boiled alive and eaten long ago, really makes you stop and think. Hope life's treating you well, have a great week my friend.

[@tessam5970]

Love Leon’s new mansion and watching him redecorate! Thank you for sharing him with us.

[@mausmail6907]

I am watching Leons story since the first video you posted about him and I am really amazed on how much effort you put in this whole project. As a child I always wanted to save a lobster and it gives me a deep chill to see how well cared Leon is with you 🥰 Happy 1st Anniversary to you - I am sure Leon celebrates it too in his new home

[@glamdolly30]

LOVE Leon, thank you Brady for your fantastic work making him an ambassador for his kind. XXX Much love from the UK.

[@ChefClary60]

Tip of the hat to the YT community that helps take care of and pay for a man’s lobster! Your attention and care is really admirable. Well done sir.

[@AriannaKidder]

I'm so glad he is still doing well!!

[@tommyb1853]

Only the Best for lobsters 🙏🏻💙🦞

[@jessicaa5566]

It’s good to see his big pincher claws are beautiful and picking up his food at the end of the video. I’m just glad he is doing good and climbing over his stuff like that. Keep it up Leon ❤

[@geeky12ful]

I agree it was so neat to see him using his big claw.

[@RoulicisThe]

Be prepared to have a lot of birthday parties for Leon : Lobsters can live up to 40 years so depending of how old he was when he was caught, he'll be with you for A WHILE xD

[@wintersprite]

Lobsters can live much longer under the right circumstances. They could be a pet that is passed down generations in a family.

[@Axle-F]

Or just eaten when the apocalypse comes before moving behind the bus fort 🫣

[@c.a.fontaine1074]

There are some scientists that even think lobsters can live forever.

[@watermelonsavage2914]

Lobsters are one of the few species considered to be "biologically immortal" meaning they don't deteriorate and die from old ago, they actually become more fertile as they get older. Obviously they're still eaten by other animals, they can die from disease/parasites, or, as they get REALLY big, they can die from exhaustion during the molting process.

[@daveshawaii]

They can live 100 years if well cared for. He is precious, and your love for him -- and top shelf care -- are super inspirational... I also love lobsters and crayfish, and really admire you for taking such good care of him! God bless you both. Appreciate your kindness, brother. Aloha.

[@ScourgePrime87]

I never thought I'd be so invested in the life of a lobster. Please keep the videos coming Brady!!!

[@erikadevallini5362]

Yeah Cheers 🙏🏻

[@katherynesmith4301]

I was wondering about Leon a few days ago!! I was thinking "huh, I haven't seen that lobster in a bit, I hope he's doing ok" while scrolling youtube looking for the perfect video, and saw this! It makes me happy how much care you put into him and your cats. You are a good soul!

[@williamwassmann317]

I see a lot of people referring to this lobster as "Leon." Leon owns a plot of land and has a title of Lord. You will address him as such

[@tarsquid385]

I'd always wondered how people safely transported live sea creatures over long distances- we know lobsters are okay with being out of water a little while but obviously koi would need to be submerged- the tote/inflated oxygen bag thing makes complete sense and you even explained how to position him in the car! Lord Leon is quite fortunate to have such care and attention given to him. His new friends/servants/ possible late-night snacks are a nice addition too!

[@astick5249]

I love how casually you say "Leon sits watching his world being dismantled and taken away"
