SCHAUMBURG NARBC REPTILE EXPO! (July, 2022)

[@SynergyPaintball81]

If that little girl with the pied is who we have coming up in the reptile hobby, I’d say we are doing a pretty good job. She was incredible

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Could not agree more!

[@jessicalanda4098]

the pied baby? she needs a channel! love her!!!!

[@CatAleah]

1:24 it me 13:58 it me second 20:15 it me thrice I'm glad I went with those ivory blue tongues, they were INCREDIBLE! Can't wait to hang out with you in Florida for AnimalCon and then again at Tinleyyyy in October! 🥰

[@ariw9405]

6:25 love love love how the little girl is excited about her snakes.

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Right?

[@babynoodle42]

@@davkaufmansreptileadventures she was so cute “look how curious and periscoping she is doing”, I swear she knows more snake terms than some keepers lol

[@Upper_echelon_exotics]

I know she was so freaking mature and so cute 😊 I bet she has parents that talk to her like an adult. My daughter was smart like that when she was little too. People told me all the time. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have known the difference honestly. Lol 😂 I wasn't around other kids that much.

[@stevenhall8964]

yes it's awesome to see youngsters getting into it the right way from the start, my generation was all trial and error with catching and keeping native species ourselves and trying to keep them not knowing about vitamin supplements and the different lighting and heating, if any were still alive after a year it was a lucky miracle, but we persevered and we learned valuable lessons that we now apply to the exotics we keep as well as the few natives that have made there way into the hobby and were popular enough for people to start breeding, i.e. Bull Snakes, Hognose, Garters, and the like, I'm glad we are not seeing the horned lizards anymore, millions of them were caught and sold out of the wild and most died. The native Californian horned lizards once found throughout the central valleys have almost completely disappeared and have not been seen in some places where they were once common in over 40 years, the coast variety used to be found on the strip between the Redwoods and the shoreline from Santa Cruz north to San Francisco when I was young and they were not common but we did find them, ask the kids in that area now if they see any and they are either amazed that they were once there, or they'll call you a liar!

[@MotherTruckinReptiles]

Omigosh the little girl with the pied ball needs her own channel! 😆

[@elainewood5887]

Omg! That little girl with her pied. Adorbs. 🥰

[@snakesinthehood]

Dav I've unfortunately never been to a single reptile expo but I live them through you! Thanks for always covering these expos it's really appreciated 💪

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

You have to go to one some day!

[@rancemuhammitz805]

I haven't been to one since the early 90s. It's a whole other world now. In a good way.

[@aubreypruitt5649]

Thank you for the award. Means the world to us @A&BEXOTICS to get such recognition of the hard work we put in to our breedings. The Ocelot project is just beginning! Wait till Arlington and Tinley...

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Well-deserved my friend

[@thisistheaccountname]

5:40 Here's to Ella for her naming her snakes Link and Zelda. I named one of my dogs Link and Zelda because they had a Triforce marking on their fur when they were born. Love that name pairing.

[@tex959]

"Emily and Ed have not had a break from this in 45 years" 😆

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

It's sorta true :)

[@stevenhall8964]

I could have sworn Ed said 55 years!

[@Rin-vj4wg]

The little girl with the pied was so adorable

[@elishagardner]

I just LOVE seeing all the kiddos excited about the hobby.

[@realDV]

6:23 adorable, future KZbinr?? :>

[@loriw2661]

Damn!!! That Retic blew me away. Definitely deserves the Rattle On award!🐍❤️🐍

[@exskoozme]

It was my first show! I got 2 geckos. I saw you Dāv, but you were always camera up so I didn't want to bother you. I was so glad I went, everyone was so nice!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Aww bummer. Next time for sure

[@fastbreak0822]

Holy smokes... That caramel Ocelot is insanely gorgeous..... Mad respect.....! Well done Dāv...... The BP doc was rad...... One x

[@benjismith593]

Dav your movie was incredible, and you are the ambassador of reptile ownership.

[@katiemcintoshclark9523]

And the Rattle On award to the biggest groupie goes to ME!!! You made my whole year last weekend bro!!! Rattle on Dav

[@royalroaches4867]

Congrats to Sacred Geckos n Living Wild for their Rattle On awards. You guys are crushing it! And how cool that we get to enjoy you both right here in St.Louis throughout the year! Thanks Dave for highlighting the show….nobody does it better! Mike

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

So well deserved

[@davidbartke315]

Your movie was awesome you are my favorite creator thank you love you man

[@jonathanyoungblood8676]

Each and every rattle on award was well deserved but the retic stole the show omg just amazing 👍👍🤘

[@crazyaboutreptiles8833]

That reticulated python was absolutely uncharted. Those Ivory Blue tongue skinks were absolutely off the chain. Incredible 😎💪

[@crystalfranklin2583]

Your interactions with the people in this video made me so happy! Great video!

[@steventolley44]

Fantastic coverage as always Dav. You need to do a spotlight on Aubrey Pruit 😉

[@IntrepidExotics]

Looked like a great show, and great to see Aubrey's retic get some air time...he has some awesome animals!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

He sure does!

[@vick7470]

That booth is amazing. I was supposed to attend, even had a special tie for Emily & Ed. I really appreciate your videos.

[@CricketsMa]

Cool, cool, show! Your picks for awards are perfect. That’s a “leave your wallet at home” show, for sure. Thanks for showing us around, Dav!

[@andrewjames5373]

Fantastic pick for the best snake, I couldn't agree more! I keep several ocelot morph jungle/jaguar carpet pythons and I love how this pattern mutation expresses itself in the retic.

[@lilys.2220]

It was wonderful meeting you at the expo half a million times and I loved it so much! The skink is still doing wonderful, and has a super nice setup! Thanks for having us in your video :)

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Great meeting you guys, and meeting you guys, and meeting you guys lol glad to hear the skink is doing good!

[@-cMc-]

Those Teagues were so tame and gorgeous 😍

[@fireinateacup89]

I ❤️Pied girl! 😍

[@nataliesreptiles]

Thanks Dav for the shoutout for Laboratory Petz. Can't wait to see you at Tinley this fall. Not suprised the ivory skinks got best lizard. Saw them on Tikis Geckos earlier this month and then BOOM! 2 or 3 vendors at Schaumburg had em. So they're really blowing up. WOW!! Axanthic cresties! 😍 Idk how I missed those!!

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

No prob. Great being table neighbors with you

[@nataliesreptiles]

@@davkaufmansreptileadventures Absolutely.

[@leannepaxton5012]

So many stunning creatures! That retic at the end, absolutely stunning!!! 🥰 Thank you so much for always taking us along to these shows, Dave. Living in Australia, we don’t get to see everything that you guys are lucky enough to see at these show and possibly even buy! This looked like an amazing show. Some day, when I am able to get back over to the States, I will time it right for one of these shows!

[@hypergalacticnoodles]

wow, that caramel retic is absolutely amazing! I wish they came in dwarf size too. retics aren't for everyone

[@aubreypruitt5649]

We're working towards SD Ocelot stuff now. They will happen!

[@sherrybrzeczka7966]

LOVE the pickled stuffies!

[@justinquirkquirkyscolubrid9172]

Thanks Dāv, these videos are much appreciated!

I'm taking time off work for Tinley in October so I'll see ya there! I'll walk if I have to lol. I need some breeders for my Enchi Firefly and maybe my new Pure Sonoran Hypo boa!

[@caughtafaygo]

I agree with your stance on the retic vs ball python

[@jaywalters6609]

Stuffed toys in jars definitely a space saver 🤣

[@susanspeight148]

That caramel ocelot retic is amazing!! No best chelonian??

What an awesome show! Those Skinks were simply AMAZING! Great interview with the best new breeder. what a fun couple to interview! Thank you Dav! #RattleOn

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

Right? I did the eye bug at those skinks!

[@LanceKirkman]

@@davkaufmansreptileadventures I would too! There's AMAZING things breeders are doing with Northerns, it's simply amazing. An almost white line, now a morph white with yellow striping, and then a gent who almost has them pitch black. AWESOME! #RattleOn

[@nicolasannawn5715]

@@LanceKirkman well about "ivory" they are exactly like australian whites. Weirdly enough now that they are cites 3, and that several australian whites have been illegaly imported, all of the sudden "ivory" appears. It's not something they made, it's just something passed from australia, through china.

[@LanceKirkman]

@@nicolasannawn5715 WOW... Not heard any of that. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful Reticulated Python 😻🐍💚

[@tylerdixon5629]

I loved this video and it makes me excited because there is a reptile expo coming up near me. My only question is is there an online store to those preserved stuffed animals, that is the coolest thing and I think that would make a great gift

[@-cMc-]

Pure red Albino Teague 🤩🤩🤩

[@brianjones540]

I dont know if you ever have seen D.A.T.Z. Cichlids & Reptiles but i have 4 Ball Pythons from them amoung other pets and they have the brightest colored and nicest Pets i have seen in a long time. They are in McHenery Ill and please check them out. They are the best people i have meet in a while and they treat you like family. I love them

Aw, that monitor was clearly devastated! So cruel! It deserves a special award for best interrupting monitor! ;) Amazing snake, though! I feel a bit sorry for Emily and Edd, it must be exhausting... I'd last like ten minutes... ;)

[@Wulfgeist]

Awesome animals. I went to Tinley fall of '19, the year I discovered the awesome world of reptiles. I've been dying to go back, especially now. I've met so many awesome people in the community through the web, I'd love to get the chance to actually meet them in person, you among them. Ed and Emily are great. You were sitting with them for a bit at their table at the auction. It was hot, I was exhausted and on oxygen. There was another young man with them and an extra chair at the table that kept getting pushed out of the way. He offered it to me kindly so I could sit down. From now on I'll remember to bring my rollator so I have my own seat. Hate that all the seats in the back were empty yet one person among 20 would be "saving" them for others. I got a couple nice snakes at the auction including a pos het sunset from Brock Wagner I've yet to be able to try to prove. I hope to go and meet you and all the other wonderful people next year!

[@carltoncarnivores]

The retic is an absolutely spectacular animal and I wish I had the funds and space for another that looked like that...that said, I really, truly hope that retics do not reach the popularity that ball pythons have. Beautiful and amazing as they are, there just are not that many people that can adequately care for them. Now if we can get all those morphs and a lot of focus into breeding the super-dwarfs, maaaaybe...but an 8 foot snake is still no small feat to care for either.

My walk slow and drink a lot of water award goes to Dave (no fear) Kaufman for best award giving! And my be nice to small FURRY animals (unless they're Reptile food) goes to Snake Discovery because Ed is the only man alive who could keep up with and put up with Emily's good natured shenanigans!!!
