About Brian Barczyk:
Hi! I'm Brian Barczyk, and I have been daily vlogging on KZbin since May 10, 2016 sharing my amazing life filled with animals. My journey here on KZbin and social media has been truly magnificent and magical. Since 2016, I've been part of TV network series, produced my own documentary in South Africa, traveled the world to meet incredible animals and animal lovers, started a podcast, created a convention for animal content creators, built and expanded The Reptarium - an interactive reptile Zoo in Utica, Michigan and so much more.
In March 2023, just as we were ready to break ground on our expanded facility, I received a life-altering diagnosis of inoperable Pancreatic Cancer. Despite the challenges and my fears, the amazing community we've built on KZbin over the last 7+ years has kept me inspired to continue sharing my journey.
Now, I'm fully committed to building our expanded facility, Legasea Aquarium & The Reptarium, just across the street. This project represents resilience and the pursuit of dreams in difficult times. With the incredible support of our community, the #ReptileArmy, we're turning obstacles into opportunities. Together, let's create a brighter future for reptiles and all animals, inspiring others to embrace their passions in the face of adversity.
Join us on this inspiring journey of discovery, conservation, and hope. Together, we'll make a lasting impact and celebrate the extraordinary animal world.

Good Morning Reptile Army! I hope your days are going well. I figured we would give you an update on how things are doing at The Reptarium! I know a lot of our content has been about the LegaSea, but still lots going on over across the street as well. Hope you enjoyed seeing some of the animals and the update! Thanks for always supporting me and the things that we do! I am excited to show you how it all comes together! Love you all! Brian

Good morning Brian and Tye we can’t wait to watch us after school. Have a wonderful day. Love you guys make it epic one.‼️🫶‼️🤩😇

[@rod2308]

Hard to believe Brian only has a month to live filming this. His dedication to his message, the vlog, his animals, his family and us was unwavering to the very end. i will always support this channel and i can't wait to come over from Aus to see the Legasea later this year.

[@Iris_Germany]

„Wandering“ through Brian‘s last videos made me admiring his positive energy he showed although he knewed about his time running low … ❤️‍🔥 Man, you really loved your vlog and your Reptile Army! And we love ❤ you! Forever! It’s so sad 😔 that you lost your battle against this f*cking cancer. Wherever you are now Brian , I‘m sure you watch what‘s going on and you will feel how much we all love ❤ you. Hugs 🤗 love 💝 and greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@calebvance3325]

When salt and pepper move across the street you should definitely get a pair of Chinese water dragons for that enclosure!!!

[@BrianBarczyk]

Thank you and you as well!

[@loispadgett6306]

Getting to see both the Reptarium and LegaSea today was wonderful. It is going to be so unbelievable when it's all finished and the fish and other animals are in at the LegaSea plus all the new ones going in to the Reptarium. To see your dream come true is such a BLESSING. PRAYING for YOUR HEALING as you go into this trial soon. We LOVE YOU MR. BRIAN. GOD BLESS 🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖

[@inspelled]

I could not help laughing when Drogo popped his head out as you were talking. I found myself debating just what it was he was saying... at first I thought maybe DADDY HUSH, SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO CATCH SOME MORE ZZZZZZ while the other part was thinking maybe OH LOOK, THE CAMERAS HERE AGAIN, HI CAMERA. I often wonder what animals would say to us if we could get on the same vibe in speech... I mean I KNOW they talk to us and to a point we can understand them and vice versa but.... oh you know what I mean I'm sure. But hugs and xmas blessings to you all.

[@melcoetzee7734]

Healing love and light Brian, be blessed hun ❤

[@candacedolan4857]

A day at the Reptarium is fun. Almost like the old days. Love seeing Brillo. He's always ready to come out abd play. You continue to look fantastic. Sending love always and prayers to you and Lori to keep the faith. ❤🙏

[@mattsaxton4321]

So glad he made the effort to put this smile on and make this video. Kind of like a gift

[@tracywebb5315]

I love the cage by cage tours. So many new animals every time! I hope you’re taking the time to rest when you need to. Please know that will be here to support the vlog even when you can’t be in it every day. It’s most important that you conserve the energy you have and use it when you start the treatment. We’ll still be here when the treatment works and you’re feeling stronger again. I know this is the miracle we’ve all been praying for! Love you, Brian, Lori, and the rest of your family. #BrianStrong

[@Heidi_Pfeifer]

Thanks for the tour. You know what tour I miss... the one of the Barczyk home with all the Xmas trees. Lol

[@Demonboy-hn5nw]

Good morning Brian! Can't wait for a tour video of Legasea when it's finished, assuming you'll do one. Nice to see the Reptarium too still. Have a great day man!

[@BrianBarczyk]

Yes, I really look forward to that tour video!

[@lisaramsey]

Hey Brian I love to see the animals. I would love to see more of Lucy she's my favorite I love her attitude n she is such a beautiful snake. Sending love n hugs n prayers daily.

[@BrianBarczyk]

She is a great snake!

[@lisaramsey]

@BrianBarczyk she really is awesome. I miss seeing her give attitude. Lol. She needs a water fall.

[@SupportMensMentalHealth]

Good morning brian, hope youre feeling good today, try take it easy love from cheshire in the uk 🇬🇧

[@secondsfromdisaster5360]

I love all the sentimental touches they are surprising you with Brian, that must make you feel amazing seeing the things they are doing for you. I really like Jay's idea of having you & Lori put your hand prints in the cement somewhere

[@SmithBeatZ1]

When Drogo peeks his head over to see what's going on 😅 2:49

[@-Angi3_Panda-]

Hello Mr Brian, how are you?❤ My favorite animal is probably…. All of them!❤

[@-Angi3_Panda-]

@tap__profile__send_text_now553 excuse me?…

[@-cMc-]

I love Luna she's gorgeous

[@TheCripeCrew]

We were there in March 2019 as a surprise birthday trip for my daughter’s 10th birthday. She absolutely fell in love with an iridescent black snake, I think it’s name was Night Fury. We also have several pictures of her with Brian holding and interacting with a bunch of the animals. It was an amazing day

[@santoroaquatics5038]

Good morning Brian happy Tuesday you Rock and awesome video today 💯💪👍👍💪💯

[@BrianBarczyk]

Morning and thank you

[@Sick_Boy_Rick74]

I was just going through some of the older vlogs and I really loved this one. We all found out yesterday that Brian’s fight with cancer was coming to an end and he was saying goodbye to the reptile army. Today Brian entered hospice care. There is going to be a huge hole in the reptile community once he passes. I’m going to miss his presence and his positive energy. He did leave us with a decade of vlogs to look back on. Every time I commented on a vlog he posted Brian would reply. I love you Brian and family! #ReptileArmy #BrianStrong #FuckCancer

[@Quailplayz]

Don’t speak negative there’s a chance he doesn’t die, my grandpa had cancer and the doctor game him 6 months to live and that was over 6 months ago and he’s going strong and has no cancer in his body so don’t loose hope Brian

[@mr.sir0173]

The problem is the doctors told him there is nothing else they can do for him.

[@vincentfabiano4892]

​@Quailplayz I was thinking the same thing. I'm still hoping for a miracle. I've known people that have gone from being on hospice & got better. I also know lots of people that have beat all kinds of cancer.

[@jakobplumstead4490]

​@@vincentfabiano4892you know "lots" of people who beat cancer? C'mon bro

[@vincentfabiano4892]

@jakobplumstead4490 I actually have. I also know a lot that hasn't.

[@beckygallant186]

Good morning everyone. Have a good day 🙏💜🐍🦎💜🙏

[@BrianBarczyk]

Morning and you too!

[@noobbuilderproductions7865]

Please give the redfoots a vast place to roam, the place they’re currently living in is too small for even just one of them there’s just too many of them in there. I would love to see a tropical rainforest kind of enclosure and a water feature ideally a mini stream flowing through the center. I love my red foots and the channel, I just hope nobody forgets about them and can give them the best life 🥰

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

PIG is a great company! Knowing how absorbent their products are from using them in automotive applications, it makes sense they are great for enclosures! 🏁

Seeing Brian emotional gets to me Everytime.

[@gillianharrison-gates7181]

So curious. Are you concerned about Ben and Jerry’s move. Will you try to mimic their cage ? So loving the journey to the new building. Hope you are feeling ok. I have a lot of weather effected ailments I am assuming Cancer is similar

Hey Mr Brian! The bedding for flaiming hot cheto looks really good. Where Can I buy that!? Hope your feeling good today!

[@BrianBarczyk]

You can get it at www.ReptilePrime.com

[@jodyfitzpatrick989]

I was thinking it would be great to have a 3D picture cube of Brian in the legasea and the reptarium !! Lit up so even when u need to take time off it looks like you are always there over seeing everything . I have seen busts of them lit up in other places and they are very pretty and memorable :)

[@jordanvargovich]

Glad to see an update on the animals. Can't wait till they get their bigger enclosures.

[@alexsquid8560]

I don't get why people think snakes don't* climb. I have plans to make a tall enclosure for my reticulated python because he climbs ON EVERYTHING. He absolutely LOVES climbing! Same with my ball pythons. They love it. Edit: I left out a word that would have made this make more sense!! Oops! 😅

[@ToeTheFoe]

When Drogo peeked his head up I got a good laugh 😂

[@christophersimkins7109]

Much appreciated Bryan, don't get me wrong I'm proud to get to witness your aquatic dreams come to light, but I started following because I'm a reptile man. I needed this today.

Love how you’re upgrading the sizes of the enclosures! 🙏💫

Thanks for always sharing and updating us on all the reptiles/animals. I love all the special touches at Legasea with the heart and hands. Something to cherish forever. Stay strong Brian. Hugs.

You know you’re missing one animal that you have to have. A really cool bird! Not sure what kind but there are so many in rescues!

[@bkm2797]

Always love a tour of the animals, especially by you Brian! I love The Reptarium, it's such a special place for that up close and personal experience, so glad you are keeping it. So it was July 15th 1989, for you and Lori, we all celebrate that extra special day when two soulmates came together to make dreams come true❤️. Thanks for taking us along Brian, hope everyone has a Great Day!

Thank you for the update on the reptarium. Keep us updated on your health.

[@jinjin0135]

I love all the babies at the Reptarium! Im kind of sad that it wont be open to the public when Legasea opens! I think u have plenty of show stopper animals right now and should maybe hold off on spending more on anymore for now being $200K overbudget.😅 I cant wait to see them in their new enclosures but who will be there at the Reptarium everyday to care for them since every employee wants to be at the Legasea??? So many beautiful animals, so little time in one day!

What ever happened to UBASUKU the Night Nile Monitor? I remember Bruce put in a lot of hard work to habituate her to tolerate interaction with people...
