You really have given this lobster a soul, a persona, and made him an individual that I feel empathy with.
you should see a psychiatrist then.
@@MikeR65wow....
Totally agree with you ALL life is precious
@@MikeR65 who wee wee'd in your breakfast buddy? This was a completely wonderful video and M M's comment didn't deserve your juvenile remark.
@@MikeR65 That is really uncalled for. I think that you need some empathy towards other humans.
Can't believe I've been keeping up with a lobster for the past 2 years. Long live Leon. You are a sacred soul, Brady.
Has it been two years already? Insane! I remember watching Leon’s first video when it came out.
Lobster actually live a long time. Leon will probably out live him.
@TentaclePentacle I meant more, so the fact I started to watch this in lockdown of what was a soon to be eaten lobster in a tank to being rescued by Brady. I can't believe how fast the time has gone, and I was surprised because of the circumstances that he was still alive, considering how it all began.
@@Liberate1990 I wood break into this ngga's house to take leon for dinner. Crazy mufcka keeping food as a pet.
Amen to that
Saving lobster from grocery store video from 2 years ago came up in recommended. went searching to see how long it lived and find its still alive. surprised but pleased. go leon go.
Awesome! Thank you for checking back in on Leon. ✌️✌️✌️🦞
Me too
They can live longer than 100 years, so this will be really cool to watch over the decades!
Lol, silly lobsters are some of the longest living animals in the world, 100 is middle aged
Lobsters aren't your traditional "cute" animal, they're not a mammal, they're not even a vertebrate, AND they're an animal we're used to seeing as food. The fact that you put so MUCH effort and heart into caring for this creature is such a picture of pure compassion, it never stops being the most beautiful thing to see.
humans..
This shows just how comfortable, safe and healthy Leon is-that he can shed his shell and exhibit such normal, healthy behavior. Thanks for this amazing video filled with amazing things that happen deep down in our oceans.
i have noticed that with enough exposure, humans will consider anything cute.
It makes you wonder about the first poor, starving bastard that was so hungry, he was willing to eat a giant sea bug? 🦞🦀🐙🦑🦐🦂😋 or worse🪼🐡🐸🦎🐍🤮🥶🥵🤮💀👻
I like to eat lobsters... Yum yum. but it would be cool to have one as a pet too.
My 7 year old and I are over here cheering for Leon “GET UP LEE! Get up! You can do it buddy!” I’m sure so many of us are rooting for him!
How sweet, Deb and I bet your Son really likes Leon 😍
I like his journey indeed!
@@aarone1981 we’re not worried…just cheering for the sake of cheering!
you area great mother for showing your child this and teaching empathy :) I'm sure your kid will cherish those memories
@@langustajableczna thank you! I was taught to have great love and respect for all creatures great and small and I think he’s got the hang of it now. Our poor dog thought we were crazy…but we panicked when we saw Leon completely fall over.
I thought he couldn't get any more colourful, but here he goes, with the redest claws I've ever seen. You go, little guy!
This was absolutely fascinating to watch.
He is truly a magnificent creature!❤🎉
Totally fascinating...Brady's narration enhances our experience
Beautiful eh! Almost ruby coloured
Yep, lobsters always seem at their most vibrant after molting. My guess is that their shell becomes duller over time as they get closer to their next molt
(Just a guess, I’m not an expert on Lobsters so feel free to correct me)
His colours are just amazing.
I cried through the entire molting. It was like witnessing death and birth at the same time.
I thought they eat there old shells
@@DarkMasterJo they will out in the wild usually, waste not want not. But leons pretty well fed so I'm guessing he doesn't need the extra protein
me too man so many tears, so emotional
calling in sick tomorrow
It was Surreal, he left his old self behind, then he was the new Leon. the genuine care. The narration, music, and the true process of mother nature came through so well in this. I would be lying if I didn’t say I had waves of emotion through this process. Thank you, Brady.
yeah, i thought so too!@@DarkMasterJo
I've probably watched thousands of "nature" shows, and this is the very first time I've seen a lobster molt. It was kind of an emotional experience watching the creature struggle through the process. I was rooting for Leon the whole time. Thank you for the Leon videos.
Full credit to you for keeping this guy alive and kicking and going through 'what he should do naturally' Well done to you for supplying everything he needs to keep him healthy.
except for an actual home or cave he can hide away in when he doesn't want to be seen
@@rochelem3872 I think I am right in saying he has a hideaway in the back of his tank. His owner will know the answer to that of course. When you take into account he was rescued from a live tank in a restaurant, ready to cook and eat, I feel he has been a very lucky lobster indeed.
@@rochelem3872 I believe he's said in another video that he feels safer being able to watch Leon molt, to at least be aware of any consequences happening. The little lower part behind the rocks is something Leon made himself though, and it's kinda his sleeping spot from what we have seen😊
Amazing to watch.. ,thank you!!!!!!
😊
All that good steady food must of helped with his new sized...
I'm 68 and volunteer in our alternate high school. Imagine my surprise when one of the teens and I started a conversation about you and Leon! On Tuesday, when I'm back in the school, there will be an excited teenager and another conversation about you and Leon! Thanks for the new vid. Love it!
That’s so cool 😄
Real education!🙏🏻👏👏‼
@royalbookshopper, fill me in on the details between you and the teen you were talking to about this latest Leon the Lobster video.
Getting rid of that old grocery store body must be amazing. Look at those colors.
I stopped eating meat about three years ago because of a video about a cow who loved to cuddle on a couch, I'm so glad, and this just makes me even gladder. You're a wonderful person Brady.
What a wuss
Future vegan
Seeing his progress from when he was in the grocery store to when he was in your care is truly heartwarming. What's even more heartwarming is that lobsters dont really "die" of natural causes. You're gonna have this little guy around, possibly for the rest of your life. Leon has made me care very deeply for lobsters haha
Might be wrong but don't they reach a point where they essentially stop molding but keep getting bigger, then die ?
@@Yautahmolting gets harder and harder and eventually it might be so energy consuming that they die
@@bugguyonline So theoretically if we could assist in the molting somehow without stressing the lobster out (I imagine it as an old person trying to take their clothes off but can't, then suddenly giant hands appeared to strip them), we could have a lobster (if remains healthy) that grow infinitely? At least until it reaches a limit that's not existed yet in the wild.
@@ADKV95 technically there are medical substances for fish and crabs that just knock them out or makes them relaxe very much. So if someone figures out how to shed a Lobster without damaging it, and before doing so knocks it out, maybe?
Same!
Seeing the rubber band scars on his original claws and the brilliant colors of his new claws after he shedded his prior self made me cry alittle. It made me think that everyone is vulnerable, sensitive and raw as they go through the hard work of change.
Leon is life. Life is all of us.
Leon is life.
Thats beautiful!
😭
I think you need to seek psychiatric care
It's true, changing yourself or your life, is hard work.
I am completely speechless by what I just saw....Thanks for showing it.
Awesome! Thank you for checking out Leon’s story. ✌️✌️✌️🦞
I never would have guessed I'd be so invested in a lobster's life but here I am. Thanks for caring for him, and sharing!
The size difference between molts is stunning. Makes me wonder how many years until Leon needs a new bigger tank.
IKR! That's exactly why, while on a tight budget, I bought his merch. Lol.
I will have to contribute also , his beautiful tank seems small already.
@@evelynbagnasco7293 We must serve King Leon 👑 and treat his BFF and Butler well. 🤩🕊❣
@@evelynbagnasco7293 kidding me? This guy makes like 5,000$+ for every single one of these videos. And they don't take a lot of effort to make..... This guy is completely fine with money. I'm sure these videos are just his side hustle too.
@@doingbettereveryday no effort? Lol. Get real.
Honestly Brady this is some of the most wholesome content that I have seen for years on TH-cam. Just pure novel educational content, a good emotional connection between you and Leon - and the audience, and no shout-out to Raid Shadow legends or ads. 10/10, amazing.
I would love to see Brady and Leon get some sponsorships.

Hey I appreciate Raidy Shady for sponsoring videos other advertisers wouldn't necessarily sponsor out of caution therefore allowing creators more freedom.
Let's work on "the Leon Law" ! Prohibit the inhumane torture of lobster cooking . You're a great launching pad for this project Brady ! 💚💙💚👍🏼
Of what I believe I’m sure they were classed as a sentinel being
Leons Law! 🎉❤
The next thing you know you weirdos are going to want to do the same for mice and rats.
Well....I've sat for two whole days and nights watching all the Leon tapes back to back. Great story. Thank you a million times over for saving Leon and looking after all the creatures you have. I'm an old lady in the UK and I'm also a nature nerd so I identified with everything you did. Thank God for people like you (and me) for helping give creatures a better life. Looking forward to more of your stuff. Xxxx
Thank you for saving Leon because we wouldn't see Leon come this far and the fact that he progressed while he was under your care was so beautiful bro
I want to eat him
Wow, Brady is a great filmmaker!
Save Lobsters 🙏🏻💙🦞
Lobsters lives matter ✌️
I still remember seeing you take off the elastics from his claws and seeing what poor condition he was in. What a life changing experience for leon, thanks for sharing leon's changes over the years.
It truly is unbelievable 🙏
@@jeffg6008 I cried
stop eating them
Leon literally brought my mom, brother, and me closer together 😭
no way i genuinely never expected to see another Xenosaga fan in the wild like this lol
i had full body chills watching leon interact with his old self post-molt. just so powerful to see from where he started to where he is today. i’m so emotional and grateful to have been able to share in witness. thank you for rescuing and thank you for sharing
Would you stkll eat a crab cake? Just curious?
@@useyourdelusion6807 im vegan so no
@@MichelleGrondine ah well at least you arent a hypocrite then
@@useyourdelusion6807I don't like this notion that its impossible to respect the animals you eat, i do eat meat, but i also recognize that i'm literally eating something that had to die for this to happen.(nothing against being vegan by the way) on the other side of this, i also find it irritating when people are incapable of seeing an animal we tend to eat as nothing more than that. There does not need to be a "one or the other" argument here, you are allowed to love the animals you happen to eat.
@@astick5249 is it really love then? Or just an appreciation coupled with the positive emotions the living animal makes you feel? The dopamine you get from the experience, is that a shallow love so to speak?
Never ate a lobster in my life and never will. Unreal videos and thanks for saving Leon and showing us all his life.
Never had lobster either, and don’t wanna. How beautiful
I've never eaten lobster either. These videos are a real insight into a creature I knew very little of.
I couldn't agree more these creatures not only deserve to live but they deserve to just be left alone and contine cleaning the bottom of the ocean
My eyes swelled up with tears when you pointed out the sensitivity of his shell and what this amazing creatures suffer when they are boiled alive, literally torture, I will never sit on a table where this is served and will always be loudly against this inhumane form of torture.
Leon is such a beautiful creature, and you are a great man. Thank you for this series.
Absolutely with you on that x
Yeah, it's been debunked that they don't feel pain when boiled. Just took a few centuries to figure that out. *shakes head*
Its the only way to safely eat them
@@DiscoDevil197 incorrect information. As a chef and restaurant GM, I prefer putting them in the refrigerator to slow them down and/or a quick knife thru the brain. Never live boiling or steaming. But personally, I dont eat lobster or crab.
Totally agree
Wow. I love the whole Leon series but this should win an award for a documentary! (It looked about as difficult as giving birth.) Long live Leon!!
It really should!
Agree
A documentary.... In theaters or DVD or Internet...en toto
Oh he will live long, haha
@@aarone1981 You're saying that shrugging yourself out of your own thick skin while blind would be easy? Because you read an article ....
Huh.
@@davidcovington901 💯
Leon is so inspiring and I found the molt deeply spiritual and reverent, even seeing him going back to it right after he shed it
Yes agree ...spiritual and reverent ...God's creation is just wonderful
Same , powerful to see what happened to us when born again and our old nature dead
20:50 Leon is so beautiful here. He truly is a survivor, and a big ole beast. The colors on him are so vibrant. Glad he made it through the molt.
I'd have never imagined I'd be so engrossed and invested in the day to day activities of a lobster, but I've been here the whole time! God bless you, Brady. Thank you from Warner Robins.
Ahhhh cool! You’re practically Leon’s neighbor. ✌️✌️✌️🦞
@@Bradybrandwood Yes sir. Transplant from Yorktown, Va.
As an invertebrate owner, I am shockingly surprised at how similar Leon's molting process is to my tarantulas and scorpions. It's incredible to watch. Their vulnerability is the hardest part to think about. Especially how delicate they are for WEEKS after their molt. What a WONDERFUL thing you've caught on camera. Thank you for caring so well for this special little guy. People often ask me how I can care so much for spiders and "bugs"....I tell people that once you're forced to keep something alive and actually CARE for it, you start to see it in a totally different light.
I love this!! You truly care for Leon’s dry-land-equivalent critters! You’ve got a perspective on Leon most of us and likely even Leon’s caretaker don’t even have! How beautiful ❤
I remember someone saying that crustaceans and arachnids come from similar origins ...😊
@@layercake2368 yes they did!
Makes sense to me. Your scorpion is just a few generations away from Leon and other lobsters
They are like the spiders of the ocean ☺️
By boys and I have been following Leon since the beginning. None of us can believe how big he has gotten. The 12 year old keeps trying to bring his own Leon home from Publix. Sending all the love and best for our favorite lobster Tampa Bay, Fl. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Ive literally just found this channel. It's so gracious that you "rescued" him from the Fresh Seafood shop. I watched as you snipped those elastic bands off his claws. Ive noticed - since literally watching back-to-back episodes - how colourful he has become. I believe it's because he's happy, healthy & it's because he's completely safe. Such a glorious sight. ❤️❤️😘
I love how after molting Leon come to his shell, put his claws on it like "Here buddy, everything is okay", and gone to rest. Almost made me cry
To see Leon sitting by his old shell at 12:25 is quite a powerful image. He is fresh and reborn, saying goodbye to his old self. How many of us get to do that?
Us Christians do 👍
Well, like most humans I never quitted my body for a fresh new one. I guess I never got the occasion of sitting by my old skin...
Eat that lobster
Once you're saved, you're reborn
@@JohnWick-vb9pc eat your gf- oh wait, you don't have one 😂😂😂
Leon could potentially live forever in his current climate. This story could span generations!
IIRC lobster can grow up to 80 years in age. so its a lifetime job if you get one as a pet. ^^
Actually in the wild they can live to be 100+
@@nvgboiyes6386 That would be an extreme outlier. Generally they're believed to live about 45-50 years. What's interesting though is that they don't really age like other animals do. The limiting factor to their lifespan is the moulting process. The bigger they get the more energy it takes, so eventually they reach a point where they die from exhaustion during a moult.
I am becoming a midwife and seeing this made me cry, it was just like a baby birth, it made me so happy.
Leon and the world got lucky the day you walked into that store! Thank you Brady, for sharing his life with us. So incredible to be able to witness that moult!
molt
@@ruthkletke Must be the Brit in me. Check your dictionary.
@@piggerma We have it spelled both ways in Canadian dictionaries. Molt and moult..go fiquire.
@@ruthkletke figure *
@@piggerma Yes, thank you for appreciated it 🙏🏻💙🦞
I used to work in the seafood department at Sobeys, a Canadian grocery chain. Over my years of employment, I probably steamed and sold thousands of live lobsters. During my time there, it was starting to become more widely known that most seafood, lobsters included, definitely feel pain, it's just not currently known to what extent. Moreso; lobsters, squid, and octopus are all now scientifically understood to be sentient. You and Leon have brought me a view far more profound than I had before and with it, a deeper regret. I truly wish better living conditions were required for these creatures.
Great news that remember save lobsters because they are very similar at humans, love your message eh. 🙏🏻💙🦞
They feel pain but cannot comprehend the experience.
@Kevin Griggs how do you know? you just assume that cuz they cant randomly start talking to you in english and making human expressions
=> ' I truly wish better living conditions were required for these creatures' These intelligent creatures shouldn't be there in the first place with their claws all taped up. I sincerely hope there are less lobsters being boiled alive since Brady rescued and introduced us to Leon.
They're bugs.
I love how Leon looks so healthy
Never have I ever cried over a lobster and been so proud of one either
He used to be so scared and timid but in this video he's really came out of his shell
Dad please
Ba dum tss 🥁
Just a random Brazilian girl who has been anxiously waiting for this update. We all love Leon.
BRAZEEEEO CARALHOOOOOOO
I had to read that twice 🤣 it was in the right order the second time and you didn’t have a Brazilian 🤣
Remember Lobsters are like Humans Save Lobsters Community is present 🙏🏻💙🦞
Love Cold places hope you can stay well, Hello from Canada, and remember Lobsters are Animals.
Awwwwww!!! You kept his old claw!? That's like a parent keeping a child's baby teeth!
Haaaaa haaaaaa so true! 😅
Leon is living and thriving because of you. ❤ Thank you, Dad! 😊
This video made me so emotional and I cannot exactly place why. Just seeing Leon safe, healthy and seemingly so happy with Brady is just so lovely. I hope Leon has the best life ever with Brady.
I felt quite emotional watching this, too. The entire molting experience is just so incredible. It is truly remarkable that he had legs, claws, a body inside his body, like he is two lobsters in one (even more than two as he molted before and likely will molt again). Makes one wonder, how many Leons are in Leon?
One of the most striking parts of the video to me was the comparison of the claws. It is incredible how the second claw "grew" but was a different claw. The teeth look exactly the same, as though it was the same claw growing. But it was an entirely different claw.
Leon is healthy because of what you have done for him. Love nutrition exercise and a few friends has really brought him to a great place
When I lived in Florida I would catch Florida lobster sometimes I would come across a few molted shells it was very interesting never seen one mold but thank you to you now I know how it's done thank you
I just commented something similar on a dog groomers videos. Just... People caring so deeply for another being. I'm not going through a great time so it's nice to be reminded people can care
Me too!!!
@@asadovesoacrowWe've all been there. Hang in there! Always darkest before the dawn.
How weird it would be if humans moulted. You'd have to book time off work for it. "I can't come in today, sorry. I'm still feeling pretty vulnerable and my eyesight isn't 100% yet."
We'd get two birthdays as well, which reminds me:
HAPPY REBIRTHDAY LEON! ❤
Never thought I'd be crying over a lobster - it really was as if he were saying goodbye to his old self... some deep philosophical stuff in there.
Great photography as always, Brady. Honoured to be on this beautiful journey with you and Leon
At that point it wouldn’t be weird at all, it would be normal.
We kind of do dust is skin flakes.
Can you imagine how creepy it would be having the skin of our old self to dispose of.
@@davidmccann9811 You know we would play with it, like the curious creatures we are. We'd find different ways to fuck with people by stuffing them with newspaper or something.
Thats probably what will finally kill him. Lobsters are essentially biologically immortal but eventually he will get too big and it'll cost too much energy
That was one of the coolest videos I've ever seen.
I never thought id be so entertained by a lobster but i love this guy and his pet lobster, they have a special bond thats for sure, even staying up with him during the whole molting process, im sure leon knew you were right there with him if he needed you
Holy smokes, Brady! You showed great restraint in not intervening when Leon flipped over. I think I may have dove in that tank in order to help him back to his feet.
Thank you for letting us be a part of this wonderful event.
😅😅😅
It would probably be wildly more stressful for Leon to be touched at all at that point knowing how vulnerable he is :(
Leon's new look is incredible, I love his lava coloured spikes on the claws. I relate to Brady on some level. I saved a campbells hamster from a home that didn't want her anymore and she lived for 3 years and a few months, an incredible age for her species. I believe she appreaciated her new large tank with lots of activities and a thick layer to dig her tunnels. She was calm, sweet, curious and never bit anyone, let me clip her nails with no problem. Giving an animal a second chance and seeing it flourish is a great experience.
Brady is a cat rescuer, so there is that! (Admittedly cat rescue is more mainstream than adopting lobsters!)
When you are able to love all creatures, it is a sign your soul is maturing. I think Leon is teaching us all something about ourselves.
Wow! I remember watching the old video when it came out and thinking he looked way more healthy and colorful after his first molt. His colors now are somehow even more bold and brilliant! Amazing how love and care can bring him from being in a terrible state to how he is now. Awesome stuff.
Do you think Leon understands what's happening when he molts? Is it scary, or a relief I wonder. He's a trooper and very inspirational in a strange sort of way. Thank you for all you do for him.
He seems to know that's why he becomes more aggressive. He knows he's very vulnerable. As to whether or not he feels fear like we do is unknown. He seems to be attached to his old self as well. Very interesting and fascinating to watch. I really love these videos.
@@skylark...
Me tooo! ❤
It honestly looks like he's giving birth to himself once a year.
@@danielled8665 perfectly put!
It's definitely a relief when all is said and done. He molts because his insides are literally getting too big for his old exoskeleton. But at the same time, he knows he's vulnerable until his new carapace hardens.
It's so interesting how protective and attached he seems to his old shell like he's saying goodbye to an old friend
What beautiful, noble creatures lobsters are. I never truly appreciated that before. Thank you, Leon. Thank you, Brady. ❤
I am so fascinated by Leon's improvements. So glad you saved this little guy. We are leaning so much. I didn't want to eat these lobsters before, and really don't want to now.
I was a HUGE shellfish eater. I stumbled on Leon’s first video and I’ve never eaten shellfish since..
That was so interesting especially the slow motion shucking himself out of his old shell. When i watch Leon i know I'll never be eating Lobster. Boiling them alive feel utterly barbaric. He looks so beautiful,so many different colours in his shell.
I've learned so much from your videos,thank you🦞
I have stopped eating fish completely, not solely because of Leon but he absolutely contributed to my decision!
Me neither. Seeing the lobsters piled up with their claws banded in those small tanks at the grocery store is heartbreaking. Thinking about them being boiled alive makes me feel sick.
im going to eat twice as many lobsters now just so your change makes no difference
The molting is almost like a spiritual experience. It is like he is giving birth to himself. There are no words!! The whole journey from the supermarket to now is incredible. Thank you for sharing it with us! ❤
I wish I could do that too!
I guess you could call it an out-of-body experience. 😁
Spider's do the same thing. Grose
@@smurfie8412 we kinda do, we shed a lot of skin cells during the day
I had to subscribe. I never seen a lobster molt before and your care for Leon is touching. I'm sure most of us watching your videos will never look at lobsters the same way again. His/her hew shell is beautiful.
Awesome! Thanks for the sub and for watching ed! ✌️✌️✌️
Thank you for this. You and Leon are amazing.
What a striking and educational video! He is HUGE now. The moment when he actually emerged from the old shell was shocking. What a drama of danger and struggle, but ultimate triumph. Leon is a Phoenix!
With plenty of 🔥 for another day. >>;=)
Hate to say it - but no wonder lobsters and crabs are caught so easily. This is so interesting. Thank you for this study on Leon xxx Love you saved him!
He is beautiful

this is easily one of the most interresting videos i have ever seen on youtube. amazing! leon is king!
I'm flabbergasted for the second time. Thank you so much, Brady, for letting us in Leon's life.
Leon is The King of Coolness. Appeared to me, that in the minutes following the shedding of his old armor, he kept returning to it, as if he was paying it homage for it's time in service. This ol' gal is in awe, seeing such gratitude from a Lobster named Leon. He is a fine example to us lowly humans. Brady, the content of your videos is a topnotch, fascinating education. Thank You and Leon.
I learned that an Octopus displays many emotions, in the movie (My Octopus Teacher), but am now enlightened about the sensitivity and emotion in Lobsters, along with the many other things you show us in these wonderful Leon videos. Again, I say Thank You.
I couldn't have said it any better. Thanks! 🙂
I agree with you on every point you made. 😊
I don't know who I Love more... Brady or Leon! 😉❤️ lol
It's not uncommon for them to eat scraps of their old exoskeleton to help their new one calcify faster.
I’ve loved watching Leon grow and adapt and hope he lives many more years! Thank you for making this possible!
Always a fantastic watch, Thanks for keeping us upto speed with Leon ❤🎉
Congratulations to Leon, he's beautiful. And many thanks to Brady for everything he has done to save Leon and keep him healthy, and for giving all of us a wonderful education into a lobster's life. I love the videos, the music, and Brady's comments.
Thank you Brady for showing Leon's second moult. Following Leon's journey is unique and the knowledge that you give is wonderful. Leon looks absolutely spectacular in his new shell and may he moult many times more.
I am so thankful you have taken the time to care for Leon!! I always hated seeing those poor babies in grocery stores!! Thank you again for taking care of this sweetie!!
Dude these Leon videos always hit me in the feels - good for you. Such a cool pet!
That was WILD. He’s so much bigger than after his first molt. I appreciate your curiosity and empathy for Leon.
That was CAPTIVE.
Can't wait to see more when it comes to comparing his molts! Not weird at all. Research is important. It's how we learn, and it's not hurting him so nothing wrong with it. He's looking great ❤
Personally i would have taken the opportunity with the old shell to perch a top.hat on the head and put a cane in one claw.
Today is the Leon's Birthday! Happy Birthday Leon! I want info you Leon is an Aries and a Gemini! Very Cool! That because his 1st molt was on April 01 of last year, so Happy Birthday Leon! 🎂♈️♊️
@@nealgrimes4382 Speaking of weird...
Brady, you are a kind, gentle soul. The world needs more people like you!❤
This is incredible,thank you
Ever since I was a little kid when I saw the lobster and crab tanks in grocery stores I wanted to do this. I remember back then thinking they were for pet adoption and embarrassing my dad because when he told me what they were really for I started crying loudly in the middle of the store. Lol! So glad to see Leon thriving. I'm always telling people about his videos and they think it's kind of funny at first until they watch them and end up getting invested too. We all love Leon at my house! Congrats on his second molt!
"its Gucci man, its Gucci..." lol Leon so princely. Thank you for saving Leon and documenting his survival. May he continue to thrive!
Iv just started watching Leon story iv watch all his film so I really enjoyed watching him thank you for saying him x
Josh. Thanks for sharing. That was very intriguing. That was very educational.
That was stressful watching my boy molt for the 2nd time but he did his thing. Thank you for taking good care of Leon!
Leon is the best ambassador for lobsters all over the world. Hope things change and more care and compassion is given by people for this humble creature 🥰
Unlikekly as long as they remain delicious.
This was so interesting to see 😊 thank u for sharing!
Thank you for letting us witness this experience. Leon is amazing and you're a wonderful caretaker :)
Not going to lie, watching Leon go through his molt was sort of distressing. But it is the cycle of life for him, and he came through shiny and bigger. You got some amazing photography here, Brady. I do not envy you being awake and staying up to film some of it!
I, too, was stressed out watching Leon go through his molt. I found myself holding my breath a few times. 😯 I was so relieved when he was finally free of his old shell. 😅
I can’t bear to think about what it feels like for them being boiled alive 😢 I love to see Leon living a better life than the one he was destined for, on a plate. It’s been a great informative and close up look on a lobster so far and looking forward to many more. 😊
I've always been vegetarian (well since my mom read me Charlotte's Web around 6 and then took me to Austria to her farming village!!). As a child growing up in New Orleans I remember when my family or neighbors would have "crawfish boils", I would always steel one or two and bring them to the levee and set them free. I think, without being preachy, Brady and Leon have probably saved many lobsters and maybe even other animals. Maybe even crueler then being boiled alive is being starved with claws tied together (imagine being starved with handcuffs) for weeks? months? Leon was probably broken and wishing for death when he was chosen from the tank and voila, he's a star of the internet, living the life, given treats regularly and getting better and better digs.
I agree, it is barbaric.
leon looks happy! thank you for updating us.
You are doing some important work in having people learn and appreciate these extraordinary creatures 👍
It’s like he’s laying in his back kicking his pants off 🙂
Congrats on your successful molt Leon. I can tell you're much bigger now compared to your old shell!
I’m sure I’ve said this before, but isn’t he incredibly beautiful colours? He is amazing, and we learn so much from your narrative. I would never ever eat lobster again.. (actually I’m vegetarian but only for 5 years so far). I’m ashamed for my diet in the past. Than you so much for sharing his life with us..❤
You are ashamed for having eaten your natural diet?
@@MikeR65 I think that you need to see a psychologist.
Yup.
Not sure if it's my new glasses or what but even pre moult this episode, Leon was stunningly beautiful.
The colours were amazing
@@MikeR65 It's also natural not to eat lobster.
Crustaceans have probably been off the hominid menu for a lot longer by a few factors, than they have been on it.
And the thing about being Homo sapiens sapiens is that we also can make an ethical decision about what we shove in our cake holes.
Or are you saying making conscious choices is unnatural for our species?
You've made the change. Better than most people will ever do.
How interesting. I never knew they molted until I started looking at a fisherman, and now this story pops up on my feed. Thank you so much for sharing.
Awesome! Thank you for watching. ✌️✌️✌️🦞
This was truly amazing!!!! Thanks for sharing it & letting us be a part of Leon's molting.
Honestly Brady this is some of the most wholesome content that I have seen for years on TH-cam.Full credit to you for keeping this guy alive and kicking and going through 'what he should do naturally'
More people will have known that this lobster existed than people that know I existed. Crazy to think about. Cheers, Leon!
Thanks for sharing. Leon looks great after his molt.
Amazing video. Thank you so much for documenting this. So beautifully narrated too.
Absolutely amazing to watch Leon molt! Thank you for sharing your adventures with your pet lobster! You are an awesome dad to Leon and all your animal children.
His colours are magnificent. Thank you for saving him and taking us all along on his journey ❤
