Hey Rattlers! I want to hear from you! What did you all think of Jan Paul's awesome facility? Leave a comment and also let us know if you know of any other really awesome reptile facilities anywhere in the world? I want to go film them! Rattle On!
Nothing would beat that. Does he have a fb or Instagram? Address would be good I'm moving in 😜🤣
My mom lives in homosassa the have a cool wildlife park ....they have hot springs and you can swim with manatee ...they have Gators walk through and a boat ride through the park too pretty cool bunch of gators
Homosassa springs Florida
Soooooooo jelly, he is in paradise
You should see Randers Regnskov in Denmark ❤️
The mans a visionary genius, his house is a living eco system/zoo/home.........im almost speachless
Totally agree!
this is the 2nd one i have seen , not as hardcore as this nether land dude , th-cam.com/video/FCDvF0d53K8/w-d-xo.html
INDEED I COME BACK TO THIS VIDEO FROM TIME TO TIME JUST FOR INSPIRATION
Too sad his ex destroyed it all and made Jeroen life a living hell
@@gabriellev.d.l536 You mean Jan-Paul ;-) i guess autocorrect on phone?
”There’s so many things to waist your money on, you know, booze...”
“Yeah, I did that too”
I‘m not a reptile keeper but this is... I‘m speechless.
It‘s so beautiful, the animals are so chilled, they love their life. That’s what I saw as a non-professional. Must be like you mentioned... like a kid in Disneyland.
Jan Paul seems to be a very nice person and I think a little bit shy. That makes him extra sympathetic.
Thanks for sharing this awesome adventure at such a wonderful and incredible place. Have an amazing journey.
Thank you Sandy. I'm so glad you liked it
Hey Sandy, I think with a few modifications this could be converted to a regular animal home. It truly is fantastic. Now, when I win the lottery, I know what I can spend all those millions on.
@Patshhi4, yes I completely agree. That’s a great idea!😃
The way the Ray came up to him was so cool
Gobsmacked! Stunning!
This screams goals. I am amazed. 😭😍💕
I know, right?
Im so glad dav did a video on Jan and his home, Jan's channel was the one i suggested you check out in ypur dream reptile video bc of his Caiman lizard Hugo 😊
Yes I think so too
Dav, that truly is a once in a lifetime adventure. Jan Paul is really smart. I noticed when he was explaining different projects, nothing had just one use. For example, water coming through heated the floor and misted the animals. And I was pleasantly surprised when he was talking to you one of the spotted string rays came up to him and Jan Paul had food that he fed the sting ray. He clearly spends time with his animals. They are not just display animals. When he pulled off the leaves to feed some animals it reminded me of Kenan Hardwick.
Dav, I’m glad you had the opportunity to see Jan Paul’s place. Perhaps some other herpers and even zoos can get ideas from what he has done. His initial outlay was huge, but he did it in such a way to reduce costs in the future. Thanks for the video. Pat
Thanks Pat, you are absolutely right!
15:10 for the stingray feeding
I was also truly impressed at the innovation and forethought he put into his structures and enclosures. He went farther than just ‘simulating’ a natural environment, he provides almost a complete clean up crew for his animal!
Besides all the live plants and soil, he has smaller animals in each of the larger enclosures to keep the water clean and break things down into smaller waste components.
The food web is also respected with each of those creatures taking care of any possible pest control, while the larger creatures take care of population control.
It’s simply brilliant.
Holy crap! I never even dreamed something like this was possible! I'm in awe
I didn't either before I got there
This man's house is incredibly amazing and engrossing. I have never seen this type of reptile work ANYwhere. The basement is literally a temple of reptiles what a beautiful house 🦎🤪
Words can't describe how epic this private facility is!
His collection probably doesn't even know they are captive!
Ikr must be heaven in a box
Wow 🤩 when animals are life. Incredible 😊
Hi Leopard Gecko
WOW! Just WOW!! What imagination and creativity! Blows me away.
That is the most unbelievable house I have ever seen! He could totally charge admission! Beautiful monitors and the rays in the basement, holy crap. Fantastic!!
Quiet! He still lets me in for free :)
Dāv. My jaw *literally dropped*. It’s like Jurassic Park meets REAL magic. This place is just a testament to human ingenuity & naturalism maintained. Thank you & Jan for this 🙏🏼
So agreed!
💯❤
My jaw was literally touching the floor aswell speechless❤
This is definitely his dream house, this is straight MOTIVATION…….🤟🏾🖖🏾💯💯
Absolutely incredible. And such a humble guy.
Wow those water monitors are living their best lives... and here I thought that the wild ones in my grandmother's lawn did. Talk about goals
Dude this is the definition of a true animal lovers dream house there's so make pple that got alot of property that is awesome also but this is next level and these animals look happy it's a whole ecosystem in a house crazy!! Super cool Dāv🐢🦎🐸
Absolutely love this video. That man is amazing
His bills must be huge.
The propane/water heating system should be fairly cheap, and he uses a lot of natural light and has all that stone thermal mass, so he's as efficient as possible.
I hesitate to guess and how much his energy costs went up, but it's much less than it could be with a different system.
That bazooka used a 35kW heating system tho. That's a lot of money. I work for a pool equipment company, and we design electric heaters etc.
Your average 8x4 meter swimming pool would need about 15-18kW of heating to maintain the temperature if you are not living in very cold climates.
That's 48 cubic meters of water being heated, and it still requires about HALF of that bazooka.
This dude would save so much money if he invested in something like a heat pump using inverter technique.
The COP (coefficient of performance) can go up to 15. Which means that it'll produce a heat worth 15 kW, when all you are actually putting in is 1kW.
Needless to say, his house and the way he built it is beyond anything I have ever seen.
Such a smart design, and I also like that he is using water as a heating medium instead of running a bunch of electric heaters.
katy donawether its. 0.5 euros/kwh here in europe
@katy donawether Your USA numbers couldn't be more wrong. The US state with the most expensive energy prices is Hawaii; their price per kWh is similar to Portugal/Italy, and about 2/3 the price of German electric prices. Our 2nd most expensive state/s are Alaska and Connecticut; their prices are similar to Luxembourg and Finland, and about 10% cheaper than UK electricity. Energy in the US is, by far, cheaper than the EU. I don't know where you got your information. Would you care to share?

@@underthetrees4780 yeah but rats and stuff are really expensive
Wow. Absolutely incredible.
this has to be unrivaled. Id say better than a zoo because you have one keeper, one thread of trust and care relationship. what an incredible display and gem in the hobby!
This is jaw dropping. I wish I had his talent to build like this!
Me too!
This man is an actual genius
Agreed!
Epic in each and every way! I love it💯💯💯💪🏾
This is amazing, congratulations!!!
He should definitely be a zoo consultant and they should pay him big time for his ideas! this is amazing stuff.
He is so devoted to their natural needs. Especially when you are obtaining wild caught species I feel it is so important to provide stimulation and as natural environ as possible and he has aced it. I also love that he likes them to stay wild acting though idk if that is a good thing or a bad rather just a preference. They have a lot of what they want in addition to everything they need and they are not being predated.
One in a billion hell one in a trillion you will never forget how awsome that place is and one better you will compair in your head every other place to this WOW
WOW!!!! Words can't express...
Absolutely mind-blowing!
That’s what I’m talking about ! Now This is how reptiles should be kept ! 💯
This man's dedication to raising his collection the best way for them n still being amazing to view is astounding. And the fact that he dug out that basement, as well as designing n building this cages blows my mind
It looks so much better than the average zoo or museum. There may be a few exceptions but for the most part, it is better than the average zoo open to the public.
You nailed it, definitely the best one in the world!
I get to visit a lot of facilities and each one is awesome in itself but you've got to appreciate what is Jan Paul is done here
That's how I envision the herper version of a "Barbie Dream House" being lol.
Lol! Totally!
I honestly did not expect to be this impressed! Holy cow! That’s amazing!
This is the most amazing setup I've ever seen. I'd pay him to make me something similar if I had the money. You can tell he really loves his animals and interacts with them often, they aren't just on 'display'.
What an insane place to live, I can’t Beleive this with my eyes. That guy is a hardworking dreamer and doer. In shock and awe
This man is my hero!
Omgosh this is the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen. Not only are the room stunning but the fact that they’re self contained is so cool. He has put so much love and effort into his reptiles. And the Ray was such a cool site to see. Every herper/reptile owners dream home 😂💚
Couldn't agree more!
Speechless!!!
It’s so amazing I’d actually say this man probably has to be borderline insane. The amount of just pure dedication and endless mind blowing work he has to be a bad man..lol
Absolutely amazing! I would love a basement like that, maybe not with monitors but with turtles, fish and frogs! Ok, add the sting rays.
I LOVE IT!!! I sat with my mouth open and my eyes staring at this incredible house. That man is a genius. So many amazing animals and well thought out.
WOW! I can’t even wrap my mind around how much work he did to get to this point!! Just an unbelievable place. Most people find it hard to believe that a reptile can inspire so much love and dedication, but they are such awe inspiring creations that a lot of us that keep reptiles just can’t help but go a little crazy on them!
Wow incredible! And so clean like bio active!
I'm awe struck with his set up.This guy is amazing. And what's so cool he's pretty unmoved by his incredible creativity.
I know, right?
That black throat monitor is so gorgeous
Amazing!!!!
does jean paul also have a youtube channel?
HOLY SHIT BATMAN!! That place is freakin awesome! Truly amazing what can come out of a drunkin bet. Thanks for sharing Dāv, love this channel. 🤘🏻🐍
Only question is when is part two coming out?! We need more of this private collection!
I'll do a follow-up next time I'm in Europe
There wont be a part two from this particular reptile room I'm afraid. :(
@@Fyralynn why's that?
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures
You can say the country he's in you do know Europe isn't a country.
Just like America isn't a country.
@@bnhyg150 No shit Sherlock. Europe is a continent. Dav Kaufman lives in North America. Thus why he stated he would visit again when returning to the continent, Europe. After leaving his continent, North America.
Incredible reptiles room or reptile house 😆😆
His reptile setup was amazing there was so much detail put into his rooms it was unbeilevable
This has to be one of the most amazing guys in the world the knowledge, the architecture and the passion is insane !
This facility is so incrediable, sensational, amazing, unbelievable, mesmerizing and breathtaking. It's something to write home about. Thank you so much for sharing.
Absolutely amazing man, so much thought and attention to details. I literally couldn’t think of anything you missed. Other then the tombstone road I wouldn’t change a thing. 💯
Yay!! I’ve been following that channel for a while now. I randomly searched “indoor rainforest” and one of his videos showed up and I was left speechless after I watched the basement at night video 👌❤️
A lot of times when I see titles like "the most amazing x" it does not live up to the title. This... wow. This is the most amazing reptile room in the world. What a great inspiration to up my husbandry.
What he has done is truly awesome, and I would love to spend the hours there you would need to take it all in. Truly inspiring!
We spent most of the day filming and it wasn't nearly enough time to take it all in
Me too
Wow. Everything is absolutely genius and gorgeous. What an incredible place. Just wow. A true work of love and art
Absolutely amazing!! Not gonna lie id love to have this set up with everything built in. Any reptile would be lucky to live here.
You have to visit this mans room again and find similar to feature on the channel.
taking "animals are my life" to a new level
Does this guy have an Instagram or something ? His collection and set ups are incredible would like to see more tbh
He doesn't look like he does 😂
Yes!!! He has a Facebook account... Jan paul Groen. You can add him if you like.... because something tragic happends....
Everything is gone...
In his newest videos, he shares everything. Its spoken in Dutch, but the comments can translate it for you... and you can always send him a pm if you have any questions.
Love. ❤
@@Breakthechain14 waar kan je die filmpjes vinden?
@@ctenosaura7380 op zijn tijdlijn! Alles staat openbaar. Sorrie voor mijn super late reactie haha ik had dit helemaal niet gezien! Maar je kan hem toevoegen op Facebook als je wil! Dan kun je alles bekijken! 😊😊
@@Breakthechain14 This is my second time to watch this video as it was so memorable. Then I came across your comment and tried to find his FB page, but it's no longer up. What happened? I'm in Tenerife, Spain, and the laws have made it all but impossible to enjoy my hobby of over 50 years here. Is it regulations, or something else?
This man's craftsmanship is amazing!!!! All I can say is wow!
What a lucky and determined guy. His collection and enclosures are amazing.😎 THANKS FOR SHARING!.
Dood holy tegu droppings that place is absolutely amazing!!! I'm gonna use some of these ideas for my 400 gallon emerald tree python tank!!!!!! Keep up the good work man and let me know if you need a hand building more of these. I'll fly out tomorrow!!!!
Imagine what we all could accomplish if we put the life stealing tech devices down and put that time toward whatever we were actually passionate about. This is absolutely inspiring, I'm already the type of person who goes deep into my passions and hobbies but after watching this I'm all in, no more waisting any time at all.
By far the coolest reptile tour you have done! If not the coolest video! Absolutely amazed! Definitely watching this one over a dozen times! Mind blown🤤!
Thank you! Wait until you see what's coming next!
One word: Astounding. Truly an I press ice collection of rare animals. And the careful placement of heating in the rooms is so perfectly planned! Glad you got to film this Dāv!
The funny thing is that in the netherlands u can get reptiles u wont see often
That caiman lizard is pretty expensive tho
Been following it for more than 12 years, and it still amazes me.
Even after visiting twice, you will always see something new. ;)
This inspires me so much. 🙂
What fantastic enrichment those fishing ponds are for the water moniters
Took me forever to find this video again cause I am slow...shit.
Thanks man love this video and years later still love it.
Jean is a genius, the most amazing reptile room, the dream for all reptile keepers¡¡ love it¡¡¡
Wow, SO wicked cool!
You'd never know you were underground, SO cool!!!
If that was my basement no one would ever see me again
Fo Sho!
Then we'd all visit just to make sure you're OK...
You know, because we'd all get worried and stuff...
;)
Holy bleepers that’s the most amazing reptile display I have ever seen....with wild croc monitors to boot. Amazing!!
Dav your videos help me so much to get ideas for the reptile zoo I am currently designing to be built next year. Can't thank you enough brother. You'll have to come do a video of the place in a couple of years! it will be based in Queensland australia and the plans are really big at the moment it's going to be incredible!
Glad to hear that, and I'd love to come check out your zoo!
the rooms are awesome but even cooler is the fact that he obviously loves and adores the creatures living in them.
One minute into the tour and my jaw is already on the floor, this is AMAZING! Looking forward to the rest of the video lol
this is freaking incredible..
I remember the days when the tombstones weren't there yet and the digging was still in progress. It was always one of the craziest but best builds for a long time.
At the 11 minute mark was insane then 17 seconds later there was a caiman lizard one of my favorite reptiles and the sailfin Dragon on the branch thank you so much for showing this it is my dream reptile home
Wow his creations are phenomenal that is like a private zoo
Jan Paul is living my dream that's for sure! What an outstanding facility :-)
I agree!
Hey this was my first reptile expo ever! I got my first snake here and it was super cool too see myself in your video!
His place is simply amazing!!!!
Agreed!
You GOTTA do another visit!! Dying to see what hes done in four years and two being covid time. He's prolly got another wing below his basement lol
Aaaah it was amazing to see it in real life right Dāv ?
I didnt had enough eyes to look at everything 🤣😜
It was so beautiful, my god the hummidity though but all bio. 👌🏻
Thank you so much for introducing us and bringing me over there! I forgot to mention in the video that I had to keep the cameras in the rooms for about 30 minutes for them to acclimate to the humidity and Heat!
Was it the first time you had been there Farah
Yeah, first time ever for me to visit there.
It was amazing .
You are more then welcome Dāv, it was a pleasure.
And Im already thinking of where to take you next year 😱😉👌🏻

Wow! This is incredible. I am so inspired!

Nice!
I was so proud of my 5 foot cube Viv I built out of teak, for my frilled lizards! Then I watched this! Wow! I'm in awe!
Zoos should be hiring him to build enclosures. His ideas are genius! What a talented guy and what a great life he has provided for these animals.
This guys crazy real motivated
Truly awwsome!
