Wouldn't matter if I had 100 tarantulas. I'd still have to watch Tom Moran's M.balfouri communal vids. They're absolutely brilliant.People who watch a lot of tarantula you tube vids have one thing in common.....
Not enough tarantulas.
Brain Barczyk is the reason I'm working with animals so closely. He is by far my idol, and I disagree with your opinion of him. I cant even begin to describe how much of a role model he has been for me, and my own specialty pet shop is in the works because of him. That, and my town is lacking in pet stores as we only have one petsmart that i hate. Brian Barczyk is 1000% the reason I even started with tarantulas, (he helped me stay passionate about doing what I love) though i learned what I know about T's from Arachnoboards. One day I hope to work with snakes and other reptiles like him, im just starting with Tarantulas. Not only does he create a feeling of happiness and raw passion towards all living creatures, but he has helped me stay positive and push through my anxieties, and come above my depressed state of mind to become something better than who I was.
dude just needs to stop purchasing more T's and lawn equipment for that new camera set up. I like his stuff but i watch for entertainment...not necessarily for information on how to keep etc, which is almost true for all youtubers in the hobby imo. A select few do give some good sound info though.
Sticks and stones, friend. He reminds us every day to be positive and chase our dreams. I have a good thing going for me now and even though he doesn't even know I exist (I'm only a drop in an ocean of 900,000+ subscribers) I have him to thank for the inspiration that helped me overcome depression and move forward and be successful.
Besides the fact that he has left some of his snakes in absolutely hellish shape, he’s violently threatened people and there was a recent leak of his phone that revealed some serious violations of his coworkers.
The disagree wasn't against you following your dreams. It was against that weapon being thought of as a good reptile keeper.
Please.. tell me more? Where did you get this information? Links? What do you mean violently threatened.. I feel like a kid that just got told santa isn't real. Please elaborate
I used to watch Brian's vids. I stopped a while ago, his videos became a bit repetitive imo (to be expected of most daily vloggers though). However he has done and said some pretty shady stuff, like how he justifies keeping retics and burms in small tubs because they prefer enclosed spaces. In reality they don't prefer enclosed spaces, they have few if any natural predators as adults and constantly roam large areas in the wild and require very large enclosures in captivity.Please.. tell me more? Where did you get this information? Links? What do you mean violently threatened.. I feel like a kid that just got told santa isn't real. Please elaborate
Would you tell me anything you actually know that he's done wrong
He has built a new enclosure for his alligator. Lol
Just pick a random youtube video of his. Pretty much any.
Just goes to show that I should probably watch the recent videos before commenting, sorry about that
. But the retics in small tubs is pretty bad
May I Pm an email to you ? In very interested in proof
It never starts out that way, eventually you have to start making money to continue and it does become less about the animals and more about money. I really do hope he is genuinely in it for the love of animals and not only money.
It should probably be stated that whatever has happened in his life doesn't necessarily undermine the positives you've taken from him. You should follow your dreams, and if watching him has pulled you through tough times, that is a wonderful thing.
