    I am not personally a TH-camr, but I know that from what alot of them say is that TH-cam has ups and downs in regarding to views and analytics.. Also, make videos that you love to make and it will be easier to do.
    I personally love your videos and how well you take care of your animals. If you find you have alot of anxiety regarding making a video, please know it doesn't have to be perfect. Also it doesn't have to be a big production either. I have learned to apply the saying to "keep it simple," and it applies to videos too. I also love seeing Blu because he is so loved and such a chill lil guy. It's refreshing to see how calm and exploratory he is. Make him your mascot for your channel.! Maybe do a brief update of Blue in each video. You have so much to give to us in terms of education and your passion for Herpatolagy and it shows. Also if anxiety is getting the best of you, self care is vital in coping with stress. Finding something that brings you joy everyday is critical in dealing with life's stresses. I just wanted to give some friendly advice in case you might need it. 🐍🐢🐸🦎🦗🌿

    That video was great. I love his enclosure, and am sure it will look really cool if you do make it Bioactive. He is such a spoiled boi, but is just so cute. I never really realized just how extremely dinosaur like he looked until this video when I could see so many shots of him and could really constantly see his size compared to your furniture. He truly is a fantastic animal. Thank you for this video, Daniel. Also, it was so insane to see my own art on display in your room. That was just so cool to see it outside of my home. Keep on doing what you do, Daniel. You truly are a fantastic person.

I totally get the anxiety stuff about making videos because I'm the same way. Its a lot harder to put stuff out there than the average viewer realizes.
    To be fair, i see a lot of people all over the internet recommending you as one of the higher quality animal educational youtubers and i completely agree.
    Honestly i always really look forward to your awesome nerdy reptile videos and you have my support. 😊

Also I can understand social anxiety and the trolls and online bullies very well! But I’ll tell you this, unfortunately it is a downside to being in the spotlight now. Also the haters are putting money into your pocket and it’s going to you and your animals needs! So please afroherp! Stay positive and keeping being you.

      @AfroHerpkeeper  5 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      A grow tent is a perfectly viable option for a majority of reptiles apart from those with the biggest claws, like water monitors and the like. Even though it's made of seemingly-flimsy tarp and a metal frame, it holds together well, stands up to abuse, and comes back apart for transport. It's waterproof, it holds heat and humidity perfectly and has led to the best-looking shed this tegu's ever had. The material the walls and floor are constructed from doesn't glare or harm their eyes. These are a cheap, viable option for those who can't afford or don't want to invest the time and money in building a large, heavy custom enclosure. It's not some stoner's mad scientist experiment - they're designed with the intention of maintaining a microclimate and I have plans to turn this one into an indoor greenhouse. I know folks who keep racks of smaller enclosures within grow tents to keep a constant humidity and temperature going
