Move to Florida and the weather won't be such an issue! Also, I work for FedEx Express here in Melbourne Florida and appreciate the kind words. I really love my job and most of my fellow delivery drivers also enjoy the job which makes its easy to go above and beyond sometimes.
I would love to see a video about what goes into taking care of this many animals. What does daily/weekly upkeep look like? I just now realized that you weighed them regularly.
I would strongly recommend you starting your own Dubia roach colony. It is extremely easy. And they are a great feeder insect. He will save some money after the initial set up.
I probably will eventually, but the link in my description that gives new customers a coupon for feeder insects has gotten me so many rewards points, I'm still trying to uses them all up lol. Now that I think of it, it might make a good video to talk about
You look a lot healthier and happier! Your face isnt so gaunt, it has a healthy color to it. You also seem soooo much happier and you talk about Alice more! Thank you for these videos, I watch all (i loved the turtle delay) Would love to see more videos with Alice if she wants to be in them.
your hard work and dedication is inspiring, the fact that you can run a business for profit and still take proper care of the animals is something the rest of the industry could learn from
Dude I loved last year's version of this, so glad you decided to make another and will be binging this whilst wrapping presents! Hope your Christmas is great if u celebrate it!
What about using a bidding system for the intake kits? If you want to maintain a low number of animals coming in but want to benefit from high demand, you could offer a set number of intake kit spots per month and let people bid for the positions. Might cause the income steam to be a bit more variable though, and/or the idea of bidding might be off-putting? But yeah that's my two cents!
I recently found your channel after getting a ball python, I was trying to find information on how to properly take care of them, and I am really enjoying all of your content and the amazing things you do for these animals. So thank you for being a responsible pet owner, and keep up the great work. I really hope you get more popular so that you can have more income with that great business of yours.

This is a good video to show the life of any small business owners: learn from your mistakes, streamlining things, re-evaluate operating system, troubles with staffing and hiring, and coming up with creative ways to financially support your small business. I’m glad you are in a better place this year mentally and physically. Continue to periodically evaluating your business. Keep up the good work providing this valuable service. Cheers from Japan.
It's nice to see you looking healthier and happier. :) I love all your videos, reptiles but also I love the ones of you mowing the lawn or building a wall. 💕
Reptile meme review could be fun. People could send you their best memes and reptile related images for you to comment on. Love everything you do. Also, I put your videos on for my beardie sometimes. He watches them. I think he likes them? Very hard to tell.
This is really interesting! It’s cool to hear what’s going on! I love all your videos, but the ones where you talk about chickens and houses and business are some of my favorites (but also unboxings are fun too)
Thank you so much for your content, I have been researching bearded dragons and I found your channel, it is now my favourite and I am always really excited for your uploads
I just want to say that yes I agree with what you said at the end. I love the long videos that I can just hit play & listen to while I'm driving... or while I'm soaking in the tub shaving my legs like a literally just did watching this video. 🤣 judge me not 🤷♀️. .. I've watched all your year to date videos & looking forward to the next, so yes please continue the long videos if you can!! P.S. You're an inspiration on so many levels so keep up the excellent work in all your endeavors whatever they develop into next!! I'll be following you every step of the way!!💜
Despite the pitfalls, you seem to be doing very well. You’ve done things that I, at your same age, can’t even fathom doing yet. You’ve bought your own house for Pete’s sake. I wouldn’t even know where to begin. I’m starting to think going to college was a mistake..lol. Keep it up man, I’ll continue to watch you for as long as you make videos.
blessing us with such a long video!! yayy haha:) i hope you’re having a happy holidays alex! i’ve been loving your content lately, always have but especially lately!
I guess I'm finally guna throw this video a like, since it's been helping me fall asleep for months. Thanks. I really appreciate the How Much I've Made videos for this reason.
I just noticed it was actually DISLIKED. I must've hit it while I was nodding into sleep or something. Oopsies. I obviously didn't mean to, but now I'm wondering how often this has happened.
I am impressed I watched it straight through without clicking away. A rarity for me. Three things that caught my attention. One, this guy is smart. His accomplishments are fascinating and I hope you have some more. Two, I do believe the housing market will crash. Belief that we are in an immense bubble, one of which is the housing bubble and about to explode might unravel VERY soon. Hope for your sake, it won't hurt you. Three, YES. F*** Homeowner's association. WORSE THING EVER!
we were going to re-home my moms neglected russian tortoise, but you inspired me to nurse him back to being a healthy happy boy! he’s 16 years old now and having him as a pet has been so rewarding. thx alex ❤️
Please please please do another unboxing reptiles!!! It's my favorite, those videos are the most entertaining out of all. I watched all that were posted in one night 😂😅. I want more pleaseeeeee 🙏
Congrats, Alex! You completely deserve this success! You work so hard and have a truly commendable mission. Keep up the integrity no matter how the company grows, and no matter where it takes you, remember the many lives you're saving!
Ty for this video alex u inspire me not only as a reptile keeper but a highschool dropout and also as a bussiness owner one day i would want to be like you
It’s very inspiring that you continued to work on something you loved even though there was little to no profit. It’s nice to see there are still people out there who prioritize animals over profit, although I am happy you are making more than you were a few years ago! Also as a small business owner, it’s nice to see these things broken down and know that I’m not alone in business start up struggles.
I always love watching these. Long videos are my favorite. I can get stuff done while watching. But also these help be I want to breed invertebrates so I guess that’s sort of a business
Great to hear that you are doing better and that you have settled abit. Passions are difficult, when the reptiles become a "chore" and drain all time and energy its understandable that the connection fades, especially when most of them are with you for a short period of time. It sounds like you could/should/might consider hiring someone to do the mundane tasks (like feeding, cleaning) connected to Emerald Scales so you can focus on the individuals that need more attention. Not telling you what to do or anything but your passion for reptiles might be rekindled if you try out some new/more difficult species like scrub pythons or false watercobras or eastern indigos or some larger monitors... just a thaught. Thanks for the great content you put out buddy. Cheers!
This is a great series The start of a company is always hard if you're not already rich, but if you stick with it, and take some chances, it might just become a living.
Pro tip! If you’re moving don’t buy moving boxes. Call all local retail shops and ask if you can have their boxes. I used to work at old navy and we would have easily 50-100 boxes from a single days shipment that would just be recycled, but we would save them if someone called wanting them.
I love these videos! Glad you made some money this year! I think once you get more settled and hopefully have more time for down time you'll feel even better! Go you! Excited to see what ya do with this year!!
Now that you're settled your views on things might change. Give it a little time. See how it goes. And as far as emerald scales goes, it sounds like the key to that is to not get behind.
Maybe you can rehabilitate but have a max number at a time? Example: 5 at a time? Have a different price for them, different side of the room/dedicated area for them? Set budget pool and only use that? 🧐
In theory that'd be great, but I'mm inevitably going to get animals with issues. In 2021 I tried taking 0 animals that would need special or longterm care, but dozens ended up staying here for months despite looking perfect in pics beforehand
@@GoHerping i think it makes sense to decline the obv very ill ones, since they likely wont make it, and a lot of the ones he will get will unfortunately not be in the best shape anyway
oh cool! Added to my watchlist for when I can rebuild my portfolio later this year. I just realized there's an affiliate program so I'll probably mention backblaze in future vids for some good ol commissions.
A tip for you and I'm not sure if you're aware of but on a lot of your lizards you can use the shells from the eggs that the chicken produce for calcium you can grind them up and put them in the food.
Perhaps you could collaborate with other TH-cam channels who also create similar content? I really like this channel and I can't wait to see where it goes!
that is so odd for me that fedex does so well for you!! Usually they're the slowest and least reliable for me (west coast USA) while DHL and USPS are like the easiest and nicest to work with. tbf I think its also due to international freight and what not. Anyways, congrats on this year!! Heres to 2022 being even better :)
I think they just put a lot of importance on their rushed overnight. Like, all of USPS's mail is "priority" so basically none of it is. But FedEx's slower services are nothing special, probably because they truly prioritizes the overnight (and they better for $50-150 per label)
Late congratulations for the house! It looks really nice! I hope you will continue posting youtube stuff and mess with reptiles. Maybe you could start breeding them in the future? It would be interesting to see. Ballpythons or something.
Most people don't understand what I mean so I probably should have been more specific lol. Basically if someone has to send me their animal, they will buy a box with everything they need. I send it to them, and they send the box back with their animal. The reptiles that come in are "intakes" so it's an intake kit
Your old HOA was ridiculous and id almost bet newer or with a bunch of old people and they just didnt like you because the one I live in is established and has been for over 25 yrs with not many old people except for a couple and I've never been fined for overgrown grass or anything for that matter. In fact the only time we were "picked on" was when we first moved in as everyone was because the HOA had no idea how to act right. Now they get it that we are all here for the long run and will keep up with keeping the yard and house nice once settled. Maybe we do just get a warning here and there but only when it involves every house in the circle. Like when it's time to clean the siding because every house is covered in moss and mold on one side because the sun doesn't hit that area. Or if all the shutters on all the houses are faded so it looks like section 8 around here until everyone paints them. Im actually thankful for the HOA because of that reason. It starts to look nasty after while when people don't do basic touch ups and upkeep. Also hiring someone to cut your lawn is cheap. 30 bucks a week where i live and its a richie rich neighborhoods which we are far from rich. Just know how to budget. Anyway. HOAs can be a pain in the butt id you don't do basic yard work and house upkeep or if someone doesn't like you and i think that was what your problem was in your rental. You just lived around too many Karens sadly.
I agree but he'll obviously be uploading many reptile videos and his humour is incredible. As he already has an audience, videos on different topics will naturally reach a wider audience and increase his subs and hopefully views across the board.

I would love to see a video about what goes into taking care of this many animals. What does daily/weekly upkeep look like? I just now realized that you weighed them regularly.
same!! i’d love that:)
Same like if he did a feeding day video
Very expensive takes a lot of work and research on reptiles
Yeah, like a day of just reptile care

Who else is just so damn proud of Alex?
I would love to see more LEGO and cat videos. Or your mom commenting on audience questions and playing with your reptiles
I've really liked your DIY videos like making the chicken pen & fixing the trailer. Would love to see more of that on your channel
Yay for the 21 update! Merry Christmas kiddo and I hope 2022 is even better for you and all the animals you take such good care of 🎄💞
I love how honest you are and how you say things the way they are, without omitting of sugar-coating the details.
February in the nutshell
Customer: I didn't get what I ordered, you owe me money!

I love seeing how your business works. I want to start my own business someday not selling reptiles but this is really useful information.
I bought the Nicaraguan boa. I'm mega excited. The homes ready. I am ready, the wife is not ready, I will die of excitement before I receive it and it's worth it
Just wanted to warn you.. those opossums will kill your chickens. We have experienced this a few times. Make sure they are well protected at night.
damn Alex congrats on that profit increase, that's very impressive
I love these videos even more now that I started my own small business. Best of luck!

Cactus success in a nutshell: Terracotta pot, cactus dirt, stick it outside and dont touch it.

Passions are difficult, when the reptiles become a "chore" and drain all time and energy its understandable that the connection fades, especially when most of them are with you for a short period of time.

It seems that emerald scales is a real success!
Legit been watching since your life of a bts video. It's insane how much you accomplished and invested in since then.
Great humor as always
Your compassion fatigue is absolutely valid.
Oh, I just finished your 2020 money video! Glad I checked your channel to see if you uploaded this years!
If you ever need a 3rd person I'm pretty close by in Charlotte NC and I adore reptiles but I'm also pretty tech savvy

100% agree with u on HOA I can't stand it.

Therapy and inspiration thank you young sir
That Potato video was Gold!
That was the day I subbed.
The process of buying a home IS nuts and HOA is definitely a nope 😂
I'd be interested in a video about the house buying process. I haven't seen one.
Your old HOA was ridiculous and id almost bet newer or with a bunch of old people and they just didnt like you because the one I live in is established and has been for over 25 yrs with not many old people except for a couple and I've never been fined for overgrown grass or anything for that matter. In fact the only time we were "picked on" was when we first moved in as everyone was because the HOA had no idea how to act right.

Do yourself a favor and buy a dubia colony, you will save so much money in the future!
you seem to have everything together as far as buying a home and starting a garden and raising chickens XD I'd like to do that all someday too
