I just can not believe how beautiful and clean your facility is. you obviously spared no expense. you are such a great ambassador for the reptile industry.
@@DMExotics I first joined the NY Herp society in 1965. I knew a lot of the old crowd, Eugene B, Tom C, Rico W, Tony N ..... my wife and I actually got a personal tour of Bill Haas' facility which was closed to the public on our 1978 honeymoon. All the greats shared your love for the animals first,,,, the business was always a distant second for all the old time greats IMO.
I love how your animals are healthy animals the coloration and the brightness of the skin says how healthy are your passions and dedication are genuinely God bless your efforts to bring the best quality animals to us
Love the Tannah Jampea Boiga and those aberrant B. melanota too! Fun stuff my friend! So cool to see you really putting so much effort into all these Ptyas species. I remember back in the day when Live Cargo used to offer some really rough Ptyas...and would sell them by the foot! Lol! You are giving these animals the respect and appreciation they deserve! So much better! Keep up the great work! There isn't anyone else doing what you've proven you're dedicated to do!
Worked that way alot back then. I remember catching snakes and selling by the foot. Also turtles different prices on certain species. That stopped really quick shortly after with new laws.
YES!!! The ptyas nigromarginata! Been hoping to see them enter the collection. All the best getting it acclimated. Can't wait to see how things progress on that front.
When the new cans ran out, my manager bought some locally but it was old and didn’t expand the same so on the bottom we have a couple odd jobs hidden away. I like the way it looks, it has the limestone karst appearance to me.
The nigromarginata are super cool. We were discussing those not that long ago Dan you may recall. And yes Dan! Leading a boring life isn’t a charge anyone could lay at you and Apples door 😂
@@bzig8988If you really are trying to do the same thing as I am, start building relationships now with an overseas partner. I’m almost to the 20yr mark for Malaysia. It’s very hard to find good honest people in any country these days, time weeds out the bad ones.
@DMExotics no sir , I meant retiring and doing something I enjoy . We have been building our zoo with plans to retire at some point and focus on our big cats . Buying animals in the US is enough peopleing for me. If you guys are ever in Florida come by
@@keithfaulkner6319 Your comment on our recent video disappeared but I wanted to let you know that the hike I was referring to was up the side of a mountain, started at about 5pm and finished at midnight. Seven hours of steep incline/decline, I am 53yrs old with knee surgery less than a year ago...I reserve the right to be honest that it kicked my butt but we also filmed an entire video of it so I think we did ok lol.
@@keithfaulkner6319 It generates an email notification every time when there is any comment. Regardless, those night treks into the jungle are always brutal....better if only 2-3 hours, much worse when 7-8 lol.
Don’t have any at the moment, we will likely add some later. That wall is a work in progress. If you think we are making green snakes blue with uvb…no, they have never seen any lighting. My partner’s brand of caging includes light fixtures but no bulbs yet so the ones you may see in frame are empty.
@@billsmith1998No worries, I think everything in moderation is likely helpful. Too much of anything(or too strong) can cause injuries. I’ve never used lighting but since we have 38 fixtures that came with those cages, we may as well use them but with some very low strength bulbs and on a timer with a shorter time period. Everything is already breeding well without it but I’d like to try adding it.

We are actually a bit shunned by the “industry”. I feel like a young humble hobbyist with the excitement I get from this still to this day.

NO WAY!!!! NIGROMARGINATA!!! You guys HAVE to set this species up as a project!!!
So amazing...lovn the ptyas and gonyos...... excellent..can't wait for babies

Fangtastic video Dan, and the two snakes that opened the video are stunning, great work 👏 👍 👌
Always the best eye candy on the web!
The Nigromarginata is really cool and the blue Gonyosoma is absolutely amazing
WOW!
Beautiful snakes
Those enclosures are super nice you’ve sure got a model facility. 🐍 🏠
It’s over packed at the moment. Just waiting for the export to go out and it will get closer to how I envision it. We have more glass coming as well.
Very cool !!!! Keep them coming !¡!!!!! Really nice to see other people's projects !!!!!!!

Looks like you've adjusted to being retired ok , place looks great
I am adjusting by loading up more business ventures to replace the void left by the job that I bailed on.
@@DMExotics love to see it. Hope to do the same thing myself.

love it all, Borneo, nigromarginata, omg amazing
💚
My favorite species of animal on the planet, Ptyas nigromarginata 😭😭😭😭
LOL 12:40 - spoke too soon!
No freaking way!!!!
If you're importing from Jampea, are you bringing in retics?
There aren't a lot of them in captivity these days.
Ha no, retics have been banned from import into the USA since 2014…you are 10 years behind.
@@DMExotics oops

crazy color on the red tail , whats happen to camo colors , lol
The multi-colored silver, yellow, green Gonyosoma are from Indonesia, we don’t work with any of those.
just curious about the uvb lighting for those gonyos

What type of arboreal cages are those?
My partner’s brand Malaysia Habiture(MYhabiture).
@@DMExotics nice. Are they coming to the US anytime soon?

Hi bro
How is your ptyas carinata breeding?
We should have our second clutch of eggs next month
@@DMExotics Extraordinary.
This year I had 4 females lay eggs but many failed during the incubation process
@@sobatReptile Been there, done that...see what happens now in our Malaysia facility and with Malaysian carinata and not Indonesian.
