- Today we tour Reptile Rapture, an awesome reptile specialty store in Madison, Wisconsin! Richard shows off some of his incredible snakes in his breeding rooms, including black-headed pythons and a mystery white-lipped python (is it a new locale? A hybrid? Nobody knows)!

You can tell how genuinely happy talking about his animals made him. These are the type of breeders we should be supporting, notice he didnt mention a single word about the money he makes, he just talked about doing what he loves. This man breeds the animals because they're in his heart, not in his wallet. And I really highly respect that.
Allen Jay I love you *as a friend* and I agree
Allen jones why do i see u so much
The fact that he rehabilitates rescued reptiles makes him awesome too!
I think his tubs are a little sparse; not holding enough enrichment for his snakes. But he seems to, like you said, take great care of their health. 🤷♀️
Hmmm... I agree with all that but I'll support breeders that give all their snakes hides and enrichment instead
You know he's a good breeder if he breeds a difficult species on accident

Are you being serious or sarcastic? Can’t find out
Alex Linders it's all up to interpretation
Hey! I am an employee at reptile rapture, and I wanted to say it was super exciting to have you visit our store. You are the reason I started working there. So thank you for all the videos and inspiring me!
baby monitor to future owner: mom..am..am I adopted?
owner: yes my son..and you were an accident
2:36?
Sister Squad it’s just a joke
'Baby monitor'.. I'm thinking of the gadget that helps you listen for sleeping baby :-)
Richard has a really enlightened philosophy towards rescue. He is absolutely right, he sells reptiles. He contributes to these animals numbers in captivity and not every owner is going to live up to the responsibility, so he steps in.
They have really nice displays, their displays look like something out of a National Geographic magazine
I like how their displays are nice and big!
Looks like a really cool place! I might need to check them out when I'm up there. Thanks, Emily!
Oh hey Clint
I’m on of your new subs and I have been subscribed for only a couple weeks
Glad to see Clint watches great reptile channels such as his own!
_theres only 2 replies_
_why_
I love how you and Emily support each other's channels! You ALWAYS comment and leave feedback for each other.
Please do, please do, please do (and make a video)! 🙏🙏
Richard helped me with my bearded dragon that wouldn't poop. The vet we took her to didn't help at all. Stopped and talk to him gave us a couple roaches for free she pooped later that day! Love this guy!
Janet Jedrzejczyk What were you feeding it before?
It was when we first got her from a previously owner (they couldn't keep her). Nothing we did... She was a year and a half old now going on 10 years. She's all good.
@@janetjedrzejczyk1903 Glad she's doing good. =)
how is she doing now?
I like what he said “we sell them so we should help them too” more breeders should think like that !!!
The baby savannah was adorable and GORGEOUS....I guess that's what a healthy baby savannah monitor looks like. That's pretty rare. Hopefully we will see more of these in the future to take strain off the wild population.
Can you do a video on what makes a good/bad breeder and red flags to look for when adopting a snake?
RockerCatErrorEncountered 404 or a reptile as a hole cause I can’t tell you how many times I’ve bought monitor lizard with parasites and and infections
This is a good look at small scale breeding. He doesn't alow his greed to outweigh the safety and happiness for his animals. And even though he uses rack systems they're nice and large.
and he handles them properly, doesn't just pick em up, wave them around for the camera saying how rare they are to entice buyers, and then throw them back into their tub. cough cough brian barczyk
I love what he said about rescues, and that as a breeder, you still have some responsibility even after the animal is sold.
Loving these 'touring' videos Emily, please do make more in the future. It's fantastic to see that you're sharing your (much deserved) platform with reputable breeders, as well as people who know and care about animals and their welfare as much as you and Ed do. Btw you've completely changed by view on snakes in the past six months so thank you!
"Someday we'll get a black-headed python"
*Me watching this in 2020 and grinning*
Can I just say that Furiosa is the PERFECT name for a black-headed python?
I know a girl who named her baby girl Furiosa. Yeaaa..... F
My dad loves Mad Max and would be so proud.
Richard has a really enlightened philosophy towards rescue. He is absolutely right, he sells reptiles. He contributes to these animals numbers in captivity and not every owner is going to live up to the responsibility, so he steps in.
I'm quite impressed with reptile rapture he is one of the few breeders I have seen with properly sized enclosures and enrichment. I can tell that he truly is passionate about the reptiles he keeps not just the money they make him.
I think it’s awesome that he doesn’t power feed his animals!!!! To many breeders/owners do that with no care to the animals health or life expectancy. This was a great video.
I am LOVING this series, and this is probably my favorite video in it so far. His rescue & re-home work especially makes my heart happy. 💖💛💙

Got my first reptile (a crestie) from reptile rapture’s old location! Absolutely love the store and how healthy the reptiles are!
I got my beautiful hog island boy from Reptile Rapture! All the animals I've seen from them have been wonderfully healthy, and Richard obviously cares a lot for them and knows his stuff for sure! Definitely a place I plan on visiting again for more reptiles in the future!
I purchased a beardy from Reptile Rapture a few months ago and I was incredibly impressed with their entire shop. They do an amazing job and I am excited to get more reptiles from them in the future! They do a fabulous job.
I'm studying herpetology in college now, thanks to you!
It takes skill to accidentally breed a species that has collapsed in captivity like the savannah monitor. Gorgeous baby!
It’s absolutely lovely that he takes in rescue, because he’s not a rescue centre but he takes them in, gets them as healthy as possible and regimes them. A lot of reptiles would suffer otherwise or get released illegally.
Amazing animals, it’s obvious the love and attention to detail in their care.
I've watched some of Richard's videos. You can tell he's a very knowledgeable and genuine person. Must be something in the water up there!
So black rough-necks are just small, skinny, scaly dogs?
CUTE!!!
D.J. Droz I was thinking the exact same thing 😂
Absolutely loved this place, thanks for showing us. 😍
Beautiful cages, great care and I'm very impressed by the rescue “program“ that's going on. 👍
14:51 I thought that was one snake and I thought it had broke in half for a split second...
I got my blue axanthic iguana here. Make the hour drive a lot because we love it so much!
Richard is the attraction not the snakes😁😁 He has such a gentle charismatic demeanour!!
The green keeled lizard : Hey hey pay attention to me! Heeeeey hey hey
The sand boas are like big fat worms I love them 😍
I love Reptile Rapture! They're very friendly and knowledgeable with a great selection of animals you can tell are well cared for. I only go there maybe every 2 months but they still remember me and my animals.
This has quickly become my favourite channel. My very first noodle is getting shipped to me this week and all your expertise makes me feel prepared to be a good snake-mommy! I also keep dropping random reptile facts on everyone I talk to. Love what you're doing and thanks for the videos!!
I Go there once a week :)
They are great! Big variety!
They are so nice and informative to all the children, and parents.
Lots of awesome animals! Really enjoying this new series. ❤️
Ed’s laugh @6:27 🤣🤣 “we keep it lean otherwise they get fat and lazy and don’t wanna breed” made me LOL.
Reptile Rapture is my local store and I couldn't feel luckier. My current collection includes two uromastyx, a crested gecko, a ball python and a kingsnake I bought from Richard and they're all thriving. That's not surprising since they got a good such a good start at RR.
I'm actually pretty scared of snakes. But thanks to your videos I overcome that fear and show more understanding in the “ reptile world “ .
I wasn't really scared of snakes but I didn't fully understand them. These videos are fun, educational, and all around great!
Great job emily keep up the great work love your vids! And garter snakes!
That place looks great! The animals look well cared for and he seems very knowledgeable.
That's really respectable, that he takes it as part of his duty, to take care of all those rescues. Major props!
Richard seems chilled out and cool.
I absolutely love this series. Also Richard seems like a very good guy! Enjoyed how he takes in rescues and gives them such good care. I respect him so much
The green keeled lizard, I think I'm in love 😍
Richard seems to be a cool humble dude. For all he has and has done
Love your vids emily you are amazing at what you doo!☺☺☺
That 2nd spieces (the arboreal lizard) sounds perfect for what i had in mind.. Not too big, fun behaviour, beautiful color, easy to feed, good looking enclosure. I'm going to have to keep those in mind and research em.
Its really nice to see someone you love animals this much and breeds them with such good care and also has a personal connection with most of his animals
So awesome!!! Taking in rescues & rehabilitating then rehoming.....how wonderful!!!!!!!
Awwwww I loved this!! I live in Madison and Richard is such an outstanding dude. He really works hard for the animals and has so much knowledge! It's awesome to see him get so much recognition. He's literally so kind and has taken so much time to be supportive and helpful with my own reptiles. Much love!
you've been going on a lot of tours around places!! good on you for getting the contacts x
Reptile Rapture has a special kind of passion that I have a really hard time finding anywhere else.
Emily & Ed, who would’ve thought that 10 months after this you would have your black-headed Python! So happy for y’all!
I love legless lizards!!😍😍
AWESOME vlog!!! They are truly doing wonderful things over at Reptile Raptures!!!!
Love Black Headed Pythons and Womas...some of my favorite snakes. Loved the tour. TY.
Your enthusiasm is infectious! Love your presentations so informative and educational!
Lol!! Who had to watched more than twice because you were just distracted by his tattoo sleeves. 😁
Oh, I love this video! I think I’ve just found a new channel that I absolutely have to subscribe to! Thank you so much for introducing him to us.
How amazing was that blue frog at the end?! I need to know more! 😃💕
I am loving the past few vlogs. Loved the monitors and other lizards and snakes.
Yay! This is such a good video. Thanks for introducing them! 💕
Oh my goodness those are beautiful big enclosures, lovely to see for a store.
Would love to make it up to Reptile Rapture one day. Maybe this fall when we go to Chicago for Tinley Park. Love Richard's channel and his passion for reptiles (breeding and rescuing). His store looks amazing through video and photos. I imagine it's even better in person. 🦎👍
What a beautiful place with such a wonderful owner! Thanks for this video Emily and Ed 😍
This is such a wholesome and well put together video. Thanks guys!
I'm SOO happy that Richard is getting more recognition! Him and his team are really awesome and I've been getting animals and supplies from them for 3 years now!! Love them so much XD

This is where I recently got my rosy boa ❤ it's a healthy, friendly sweetheart!
Reptile Rapture is my local reptile store!! So great to see this tour this is where I'm planning to get my first snake
I love the terrariums they are in, much better than a plastic box, you can enjoy them more like this.
Awesome thanks for the tour
Such an enjoyable video, done with really knowledgeable people. Now, if I can figure out how to make KY to WI a day trip. Thanks so much.
That's such a awesome store, and what a nice guy! Wish I had something like this near me, would love a wander around checking out all the cool reptiles!
Awesome as always 🐍
My best friend and I went here and the employees were so nice and they let us hold a snake named Toby. It was amazing.
I love the place! I always go there for reptile supplies. I am planning on getting a corn snake there. They take real great care with all there animals!
