NARBC Tinley Park- March 2023 VLOG

A little look around the NARBC Tinley Park reptile expo! Got to talk to a couple awesome gecko breeders such as Gekkonidazed Geckos and LAC Herps about their breeding projects. Also filmed some of the USARK auction where the community got together and raised money for Brian Barczyk who has been struggling with his health.

I really like the interviewing style with b roll of their animals while they chat. It’s more personal than just showing the animals with music 🥰

It's so great to see that there's so many great people out there that are more than willing to help support Brian. He's an inspiration for all of us. His legacy is going to live on for many years to come.

Tyler, thank you for sharing the auction at the end of your video. The outpouring of support for Brian has been insanely incredible. I'm new to the reptile hobby, just owner, not breeder. You, Emily and Ed, Dav, Brian, and so many more have taught me so much and I see you and Maddie following in the footsteps of the those who are already established. Love to you and Maddie from this old lady in Wisconsin. Next time I attend Tinley, I hope to meet you and thank you in person for what you have taught me. ❤

[@MaddieSmith]

Lots of geckos keep both of us super busy!

My joke "Those are all baby Crested geckos, you can tell because they have their tails. Like frogs Adult Crested geckos don't have tails" is becoming more challenging. Which better care and more selective breeding A lot and sometimes most collections of crested geckos still have their tails. I was so proud that my elderly Crestie still has his tail but he is now not as special and that makes me sad. This comment has no purpose other than engagement for YT AI>
