[@NewEnglandReptile]

Thank you very much and you are correct! K

You will never meet a more humble guy as Kevin. He hates notoriety and if he could get away with it he would be the guy you never see behind the scenes.

Don't ever give Kevin a compliment, he'll freak out l o l

[@ReptileNews]

I love the fact that Kevin doesn’t speak over people. He listens and gives others a chance to speak. I have more respect for him after seeing that. I’m referring to the bit where him and Clint talks about KZbin. Very cool.

[@fastbreak0822]

Kevin’s authentic passion for animals, their behaviors and husbandry is the foundation all reptile enthusiasts should adopt. I relate to geeking over the subtle yet well though out mods with the FB rodent racks over 2 decades... NERD RULES!!!!!!

[@ryanwatson7509]

Agreed 💯%

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

I am a jolly person actually, and no I'm not married...yet. Great seeing you guys there. Wish I had more time to stop and chat. Kevin, we are definitely going to have plan for a rattlesnake herp trip next year. It's been way too long.

[@zaknava9418]

Can't tell you guys how nice it is to see Kevin pulling back the curtain a bit on NERD and everything that he does. I've hoped for years that he would "step out of the shadows" if you will haha. Love to see his passion for these animals and I can't wait to see more. Keep up the great work guys.

[@dvlexotics2177]

Omg Kevin and eric together that was hilarious. It was good to see Kevin mingling at Tinley after not attending for a few years.

[@MaryBieg]

Love that you talk about the back and forth with the animals. It really translates to every species. Most of my animal experience has been with horses and livestock. It’s the same thing, people don’t take the time to learn about their behavior and then blame the animal for its reactions. It’s so nice to see you promoting this mindset.

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Mary Bieganski thank you. I keep learning all the time. I gave the best teachers ... my animals ! K

[@JoinReptiles]

😢 my eyes teared when I see the 3 of you having a simple fun conversation about your favorite animals and how care respectfully so they can make the greatest companion in the wild world 😁✌ Love what I'm seeing

Kevin's passion and love for Reptiles is represented so well in this vid. We are lucky to have this awesome guy in the herp industry.

This is the rock n roll hall of fame for reptile keepers, all we need now is Will, Chandler n Tyler n Dinkgo, awesome vid

[@yucLucy]

"If I like snakes, that doesn't mean I don't like rodents." Thank you so much for that simple sentence. I've got a pet Gerbil (who despite his species doesn't like company) for almost 4years now and would love to get more rodents. But I also got my first Ballpython this saturday and hope to get another one in the future. That doesn't mean I like one Pet more than the other or would even feed one to the other. Clint, Emily and Kevin are the only 3 Channels I watch on a regular basis and I can't thank you enough, for the info you're putting out there. Less than 2years ago I was terrified of snakes, know I don't even understand why.

[@kimpanther5110]

I'm in the same boat! I just love animals and want to have pet hamsters, finches, mice, snakes, and lizards when I have the space for them all! I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves rodents and reptiles 💜

[@DeadpanVT]

I have 4 African soft furs and I am obsessed with snakes and reptiles and they are incredibly common feeder mice and it's truly a misconception that just because you have to feed a snake a mouse/rat means you can't love mice/rats. I love my boys they have a 50gl with 3 hides and multiple chews.

Canadian living vicariously through NERD as I'm unable to attend! Everyone's awkwardness is a mood.

So exciting, seeing Kevin with Clint and Emily. Snake Discovery was pretty much the only snake videos I watched for my first year of reptile education.

Kevin, you are doing a great thing with USARK. A lot of legislators don't even realize or care that laws against reptile ownership are almost always unconstitutional. You aren't just supporting reptile owners, but you are reminding legislators about the rights of citizens. Thank you.

Hello Rebecca how are you doing today.

[@jadafranksain9369]

My eight pet rats appreciate your standpoint on live feeding videos! Rats are fantastic little creatures with the capacity for affection and empathy. Snakes are so neat, and I love them too, but rodents are more than snake food. I appreciate people keeping reptiles well with proper diets going the extra mile to be as humane as posisble to their feeders. I'm just getting into the reptile community. I should be getting my first soon. I'm glad to be among compassionate people with a passion for animals.

[@chrispeever489]

This is a great video it's cool to see so many big names in the industry interacting and just being themselves with each other. It'd be nice if this was the way smaller and the lesser known community was this polite and respectful.

[@ginganinja9135]

I'm glad you posted a video like this. I really enjoy these videos especially since I don't make it to these types of reptile shows. It's usually just people running around quickly looking at snakes and other reptiles. Keep the great videos coming!!!!

[@darcieclements4880]

I think if I met Kevin in person I would happy cry. I'd be way too hyper with the other reptile youtubers, but seeing Kevin handle animals and read them completely and correctly... I happy cry every time I see one of your videos with that because that is a depth of skill and level of attention I rarely witness. It is beautiful, and I really hope he knows that.

[@kaylavoss8804]

Kevin, you ROCK. I don't really consider you a KZbin personality, (though you are) but you are by far my favorite of them. Never met ya, all I know of you had been word of mouth for years. Love that you're more prolific on KZbin, you're contributions, knowledge & insights are incredible. Donnie, props to you for making NERD's channel top notch! I know it's probably not your thing, but love seeing collabs with other respected YT'ers Hope to see more! Great video! Keep 'em coming!👏

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

One thing I've noticed that sets the herp community apart, generally speaking, is that we love ALL animals. We don't keep reptiles and amphibians but hate dogs and cats or farm animals or whatever, the way many of those love their animals but often despise herps, for instance.

Didn't realize Kevin played guitar and was into metal. I guess it should be somewhat obvious from your intro music. It was great to see him run around and have fun. It's ironic you guys hit on the whole "Clickbait" issue with youtube because Brian literally dropped a video today where he addresses that and makes the case why it's somewhat necessary for youtube success. Not only is Kevin an amazing source of reptile information, what he has done for the reptile industry fighting against misinformed politicians is of utmost importance and everyone in this hobby/industry should be grateful. Awesome to hear USARK did so well at Tinley as well. Keep up the great videos!

​@@NewEnglandReptile Woah, Incredible! Your vocals remind me of Hetfield on the old albums. Seriously impressive. I have a very similar guitar style. I could tell when you were messing around in the Tinley video you had skills but I'm blown away. I checked out "Cinder" and the "Painkiller" cover. Awesome stuff man. A local hero of mine, Chuck Shuldiner of Death, did a cover of Painkiller before he passed, love that song, your version is killer. I want to go check out the rest of your songs as well. Very cool to know one of the original reptile legends that I look up to is into such great music.
