Brian, I hope you've invested in a great security system for your zoo. There are a lot of good people out there but also there are people with not so honorable intentions. Please make sure you've done everything you can to protect your investment. Don't mean to be a downer, it's happened to my business a few times in the past. Love ya brother. Congrats, it looks so great!!!! I can't wait to bring my family to visit one day.

[@cherylmullins3986]

Brian, I’m totally stoked!!!! I watch your blog daily. I’ve never touched a reptile in my life! But through you I see their beauty. I’m so happy for you and your wife! This was truly a labor of love. If ever I travel to Detroit I will definitely be coming there. You are doing great things and know that I’m praying for you and yours!!!!

Hey Snakeman. For me, I'd have to say both! They were both presented and build amazingly! A real master piece! :)

All those people lined up just to see you and your amazing animals just shows how brilliant and how much all your hard work has paid off, you should be so proud of yourself, unfortunately I can’t come see your amazing shop because I’m in the U.K but I look forward to watching all the progress and everything in your videos every day, keep up the good work, you’re amazing😊😊

[@AmmoGunsAndFun]

congratulations Brian on the reptarium being finished looks amazing.keep living the dream

[@HoboAltros]

Congratulations Brian. You deserve the success. To many years of the Reptarium!

[@Cboot301]

You did it Brian! Congratulations!! Everyone did a great Job.

[@SeekerKC]

✨🎈🎉Congratulations!!!🎉🎈✨ The place looks great, & it's been amazing to watch one of your big dreams become realized! I was wondering, is there a health risk for the animals who are being touched by so many different people? If so, what do you all have to do to minimize that risk (i.e. bathing/cleansing the animal)?

[@skittles8770]

What about the people that bring reptiles to classes and stuff do they wash them? I litterly no idea. But I would think they have the same procedures at the end of the day

[@SeekerKC]

@@skittles8770 Actually, my daughter will be volunteering to help one of her teachers, who used to run a reptile rescue, care for her pet snakes she's keeping in the classroom. Although the students don't handle them, she'd most likely know if anything special would usually be done. I'll ask my kid to find out what she did after using her snakes as "teaching tools" at the local museums & events.

[@rmc2710fishing]

Excellent job wonderful animals. You guys ROCK. Never truly been BIG fan of snakes but you are warming me up on the idea. From the midwest.

u probably didn't see but they do have Hans sanitizer for ppl b4 u touch anything

[@stuartsmith1740]

Congratulations to the BHB team! You guys have created an awesome place there!

[@loisjones2158]

One thing I noticed in the background. There was a little boy probably around 8 years old trying to climb without success to see what was in the top cage. Do you have stepping rocks for the little ones if theres enough room. Just a thought....

[@ginadelsasso288]

He pointed out one rock he had at the beginning but i didnt see that many in the isle...seems it would be a tripping hazard. But maybe if they are too big for parents to lift they could have a portable step stool available so it doesnt get in everyones way. Good catch...i didnt see the kid but its definitely something that needs to be added. Im super short too and at 35 yrs old it would be weird if some one picked me up to look at the cages....lol

[@lorlorslinger9617]

I was about to say, are most of the exhibits built for people 7ft tall to see into. I'm 5'5, there's no way I'd be able to see most of the enclosures.

[@elias_xp95]

Or they could build a foldable steps so when not in use they can be put back into the wall

[@cryptocure925]

Congratulations Brian for a successful opening of the reptarium

[@BrianBarczyk]

Thanks so much

[@danangelucci257]

The place is amazing and is only the beginning! If you are anywhere in the Great Lakes region, come see this you will be glad you did!

[@Happily_kara]

Brian, I have been watching for several month religiously. I am far from a reptile person, I breed fuzzy bunnies and like cute fluffy animals. lol but your vlogs and you personality are absolutely addicting!! I have come to learn a TON about snakes and reptiles and a FEAR of mine has actually turned into curiousity. I hope i get the chance to visit, I live in Silverton, Oregon so I would have to make a trip there!! just wanted to say CONGRATS and you and your staff are doing AMAZING things!!

[@kathrynhernandez734]

RoadtoBaby Scoville I feel The same way I love fluffy animals but I have been watching for a while now and every day for updates on the zoo. I’d like to win the trip to see the zoo but I feel like it would be wasted on me since I have only ever held a snake twice. I think a die hard reptile fan should be picked.

[@marcovelez942]

Congratulations! 💯 I'm so excited & proud of you for your accomplishments. It was a fun journey watching you VLOG throughout the process and see this dream of yours evolve and flourish into BHB REPTARIUM. I can't wait to see how this evolves into a franchise and how those enclosures your working on with Universal Rock for the general public will come out. Best Wishes!

[@candicetang2569]

Such an amazing turnout! I can see it in your eyes that this meant so much to you especially knowing that people showed up. Congratulations!! It will be nice if you have a short description of every animal/reptile that you have on display so everyone can know more about their back story or their characteristic :) Thanks for bringing us along on this journey.

Ahhh! Congrats, it looks SO GOOD! I really hope to win that trip! I got sucked into your videos from David's Vlog, and then seeing you on Sam's channel, I just had to check you out! I have been binge watching ever since, love love love the videos! I've always been a little terrified of Reptiles, but watching your videos makes me see the beauty in them, especially Verde, she is GORGEOUS! Really and Truly hope to win that Trip, so I can show everyone that even though you grow up being terrified over these animals, that they are actually amazing animals and that there is nothing to be afraid of with them!

👍😁🙀 I’m happy to see your grande opening was a great success. Now we need you and EVERYONE who helped to make reptarium a reality, headed to DC too teach OUR entire government how to work together to achieve a common goal. Your the team for the job because you definitely showed us on your VLOG that surrounding yourself with a variety of ppl who all have different skills and ideas but are all working together for a common goal are unstoppable! It’s not a left or right, Democrat or Republican, it’s the UNITED states of America, and DC needs to be reminded of that! Thanks for sharing, and sorry for being political I’m just really impressed with what you guys have accomplished, and wish I’d see more of it in DC!

I'm really proud of all of you!! The Zoo looks amazing!! I will be commenting on Miguel's video next week because I want to come there so badly. I live in Maine and it's going to take me a little bit longer to save to come see you but I will. I really really hope I win that contest that would be a dream come true. I told Miguel if I did go there I'm a very emotional person so I would need some time to cry cuz I would be so overwhelmed with happiness.
