Eckogen is genus! I hope we see a huge change in the way animals are displayed for sale or show in the future. A better environment = healthier and happier animals. Cheers!
I really love Geckogen. A lot of respect for him because you can clearly see that he cares about the animals. I dislike the cups as well...it's convenient, I get it. lol Though Geckogen shows that changes can be done differently just as easy. As always thanks for the video!
Congratulations to the winners of the rattle on awards. All of them are incredible. The black dragon is my favorite as always I love the monitors.Thanks Dav for taking us along to Pomona great video.
Your videos are incredible mate, I’m 20 and only recently got big into reptiles as I got a leopard gecko and the passion for different species and animals now keeps growing. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
The opening scene shows how immense the show is. What a Stunning crested gecko 🦎 Frazzle is! Glad to see a boa winning best snake 🐍 Really cool sulcata , what an unique colour. Gorgeous black dragon. A new industry standard for showing geckos set by Geckogen. Definitely the way forward. Having Brian Kusko at the end, ( one of my favourite youtubers ) perfection. Rattle on!
It really is a huge show and without a drone, you just don't get the scope for how big it is! Brian and I are always singing. We should start a new boy band...or maybe not. Rattle On!
Wow Dav, your enthusiasm is just fantastic, and so are the videos. I'm finally starting my journey into the reptile world after years of absolute infatuation this year and absolutely love all the amazing people in the hobby. Maybe I'll get lucky and get to meet you in the next couple years! Stay awesome Dav! Oh, and the little bit at the end with Brian seriously had me rolling on the floor, love that guy!
Great video Dave!! It was so awesome to see you again and catch up and chat about all the animals and life in general. Love the awards and very well deserving 👍👍. Keep up the amazing work!!
Your videos always rule! Love that duet with you and Brian lol. Damn that was a nice boa and that gecko display was ingenious! I'll have to make it out this show one day. I only live a few states away,
Thank you for sharing!!! Love you and what you do. Keep up the great work!!! Loved the animals, really some stunning species!!! Loved it!!! Love you Dav!!! YOUR #1 FAN ~ Amanda Mandigo
I can never make it to all these cool expos. I only make it to Tinley every year because I live here so I watch a lot of videos LOL. I really love how you cover them. Your videos are so professional and well done. The Rattle on awards is an awesome idea! I hope you do them at every expo you cover.
Thank you Casandra! I am going to do the awards at all the expos I go to and thanks for thinking its a great idea! Hope to see you again in Tinley this March!
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures That's great! I hope to make it to the March Tinley. Keep up with the great videos! You are only one of about 3 people I watch on UA-cam and I love every one of your videos!
Ausome video Dav ., it was great to meet you ., you’ve been on so many amazing adventure., I can’t wait till the next show thanks Dav have a great weekend brother
Oh wow, thanks Dav for another great video - what a show! Love that drone flyover at the start. Your videos take things to a whole new level; so enjoyable. A gecko library? That's fantastic! 😍🦎 My favourite would be the file snake, what a beautiful animal. Hope you get to see these in the wild one day. The black dragon a close second. Did you pick up any animals for yourself at the show? Still rooting for that perfect indigo snake for you 😉🐍
Great video. I hope you make it to Texas again and visit Herps Conroe. There's one coming up at almost the end of January. I would be honored to meet you one day.
That's so rad! I wasn't able to make it, but my wife and kids went and my son wound up getting a female bearded dragon there. He named her Rocky...but he's six, so lol
This looks so much fun. I want to thank you, Dav, for the great videos. I am a fan from Switzerland. I saw your video with Kevin McCurley, about monitors taming, and I just got a Kimberley rock monitor baby and I hope Kevin's method wiil also work on him. I think with the little monitors you need double patience, but sure will be worth it, what do you think?! xoxo
Awesome video Dāv! I enjoyed all of the animals you showcased. What was that guys company name that had the file snakes and the big black dragon. I couldn't quite understand what was said. Much love, support, and respect. I hope you're doing great.
I talked with him a bit there, but he was so busy at his table, and I interviewed him last year when I was there. I'm sure we'll colab on something in the future!
Cool video! I loved frazzle that’s what he should name the morph if it even proofs out. Side note do you use wind protectors and an external microphone? I know conventions are loud but it was hard to hear a lot of your video and wasn’t crispy clear. Especially in interviews. Also you seem to always use the same music. Every try some other royalty free tunes? Anyways. Love your stuff and have been watching for almost a year now. I wish your channel would really take off and I know with a few little tweaks it really could. 😃 I wish you the best and rattle on!
Thanks for your comment! I use a couple of cameras when I film an expo. The sound is always off even with a directional mic that I use. And music is the worst part of what I do. There is a limited amount I can use, and most of it simply doesn't fit the flavor of my vids. I appreciate you tuning in, and Rattle On!
Hey Dave sorry to use you for info like this, but in your recent travels, are you seeing any large normal western hognose for sale, you would think people would have plenty of them, but im struggling to find big normal ones. Seems absurd lol.....
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures that trips me out bro, nobody online seems to have them..I will Google some expose and look up what vendors were there and call them direct maybe. I live in Bakersfield, that's about 2 hours from Pamona, no good shows in my town, I need to start going to expose again. Used to love the big one in Anaheim. All I ever see are small ones. I'll do some more research.
I couldn't go because I'm in Florida; but if I could and won a boa constrictor, I would definitely find someone to give it to. If it was a ball python, I'd think about it for a minute; but if I had the same rules that I have now which is that I can only have the yellow rat snake named Jewel, the ball python would be given to someone else. With the boa constrictor, I'd spend time with it long enough to handle it a couple times; and that would be it. Take care and God loves you.
Can't wait for that upcoming boa episode! Sorry about the tortoise poop lol, all part of the job right? That spotted Nelson's milksnake is stunning! Also, $500 for that skink?? I would have nabbed him in a heartbeat, crazy!
@@umg-cammywammy7907 It's a great question! I bet most of us have a fun animal poop story. Mine is the time I had my corn snake out during the family Christmas party. I noticed she was about to poop, so I grabbed a clear plastic drink cup and held it so she pooped in the cup. The kids thought it was hilarious. :D
The awards are a cool idea but I was kinda hoping to see a lot more animals in a 25 minute video. I see a lot of positivity in the comments so it seems many enjoyed the content but for me it was a let down. I was really looking forward to your coverage and presentation of the show and it felt like we spent a lot of time looking at you and sped up B roll and not at animals. Felt more like a trailer for the actual video I guess. Looking forward to the boa video tho!
Shouldnt you give your fans an opportunity to vote for the awards? Give them your top 5 from each category and let them vote. Im a fan but as time goes on i think your getting a huge YOU complex . Sorry mate im sure others a seeing it too
Sorry but it really irritates me when someone makes a dumb comment like this. Dāv is one of the nicest, humblest, and dedicated people out there. He would be the last person to get what you call a YOU complex, and NO we all are not "seeing it". What a stupid thing to say.
A YOU complex? You clearly have never met Dav. One of the nicest down to earth guys around. Oh and it's his show so I think he has the right to pick his favorites.
Without doubt he most likely is a nice guy but unless hes a narcissist his channel isnt for his own viewing pleasure its for the world. Secondly theres other formats he can upload his channel for the world to see without utube where its about making money. So since this is a public forum i have the right to view my opinion on something im noticing as his new videos come in. Unless he comes over to Sydney to meet me i wont meet the guy. Look every channel has there "Groupies" so i can admir you responses. But for me after his intro with "His award winning series" he does have a complex. And most people with popularity get them.
@@casandraanderson73 isnt it unamerican to not honour the right to free speech? Im confused about you guys over there. Or do you want the cake and eat it too. #Onlyinamerica

Dav - please get a haircut and get shut of the beard. So sick of reptile pioneers who look like crap - you guys give reptile enthusiasts a bad name. You don't have to be some Bad News reject to be into snakes.
Hey Rattlers! Comment below and let me know what your favorite herp was that you either saw at the show, or in this video! Rattle On!
Remember if you get an alligator snapping turtle and release it in your pond you have to stop swimming in it nude
The best herp was that wild Brian kusko you serinated
"They're my pets before they become yours."
Sign of a quality breeder right there. You can tell he genuinely cares about the welfare of his animals.
That was the line that made me say "This guy gets it!" He well deserved to win!
Eckogen is genus! I hope we see a huge change in the way animals are displayed for sale or show in the future. A better environment = healthier and happier animals. Cheers!

If you listen to what he said, he said it wasn't just as easy, but he does it because they're his pets.
The Geckogen stand is awesome. Simple, functional but so elegant. He's really hit on something there.
I agree! Some of the display designs at these shows blows me away
Congratulations to the winners of the rattle on awards. All of them are incredible. The black dragon is my favorite as always I love the monitors.Thanks Dav for taking us along to Pomona great video.
They may be one of my favorite monitors as well
The Geckogen display was awesome. 100% agree with your choice on their booth.
Thanks!

Dang that Gecko library-like display really was the best display.. maybe that ive ever really seen... quite amazing, functional, and artistic..

Geckogen. What a fantastic idea ! Great show.
Now THAT is a reptile show! Love that location, triple the size of the ones around here.
It is an awesome show!
The best show with outstanding award winners. My favorite was the best exibit, pure genius
I agree!
Great video Dave!! It was so awesome to see you again and catch up and chat about all the animals and life in general. Love the awards and very well deserving 👍👍. Keep up the amazing work!!

Amazing animals, awesome ingenuity with that gecko rack. Hartel would appreciate that craftsmanship.
I bet you're right!
I've always loved Geckogen's display one of my favorite ever!
The GeckoGen guy's booth setup was so nice!!
Award of Merit goes to Geckogen. Thanks Dav
I'm betting that Frazzle is a chimera, and that it's the crested equivalent of paradoxing. Curious to see if it proves and I'm wrong!

Really like this format of covering reptile shows! Good work!

Killed it once again Dāv! My vote is for the black eyed lucy boa, amazing. Lookin forward to that upcoming video. Thanks for sharing. 🤘🏻🐍
Thank you!
Man oh man! What an amazing time!!! Great to see you again!!!
It was awesome! I'm going to check out your vid here soon!
Obviously didn't see the competition, but the winners you picked looked sweet. Tony G's crested was rockin. What a great idea by the Geckogen folks.
Thanks. Expos are fun to go herping in by the way. You never get skunked!

I love your videos dav!! Rattle on!! There is a reptile expo happening in cow palace in San Francisco in feb
Thank you! I'll be in another continent then so I won't be able to make it.
Great video Dav. My favorite snake of the show was the Pied Mussurana at Black Pearl's table. Amazing looking black and white snake
I saw that! Such an amazing snake!
I saw that gecko guys exhibit at sac reptile expo last year it was pretty cool, I never realized how groundbreaking that exhibit was
Sorry so late! Geckogen Rocks! Awesome set up! Thanks, Dav!
The man is genius!
Great job Dave love the boa!
Thanks!
Awesome vid! Congrats to the winners! Are you going to do the awards at every show you go to? It's a great idea!
Thanks Andy. I will be doing the awards at most shows I film.
It'll be exciting to see what he does with those crested geckos. That would be awesome
You should complemented the ecogen guy for his awesome rolly fingers mustache
Lol. I will next time
dav! u look just Dante from the movie clerks
Nah, I’m much better looking :)
I love reptiles
very nice some of those were super nice and cheap
GekoGen....wow....just wow
What a bummer ive been looking foward to meeting you. Unfortunately couldn't go, next one
I'll be there
That cresty is amazing! Have you seen the video from Blake's blue sulcata he hatched out. He named it Avitar.
I haven't yet but I intend to get down there and film it one day
Great video. I hope you make it to Texas again and visit Herps Conroe. There's one coming up at almost the end of January. I would be honored to meet you one day.
Thanks Cory! I'll make it back there one day for sure.
I liked frazle and geckogen really awesome setup
He's such an awesome gecko!
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures really awesome patterns he has
Omg i was at the reptile show too and i saw you 😊 it was pretty cool
Cool!
Imagine what that boa is gonna look like when she's all grown up. I want one

Awesome!

@@davkaufmansreptileadventures Thanks bro!
At the beginning of this video. I saw that Dan Mallory was there, I was hoping that you would have interviewed him.

Frazzle is like a roan/piebald XD
He is sort of. It's just a matter of time before a true piebald crested shows up.
That guy at the 5 min mark was telling these kids about the five second rule when I walked up on him and it had to be the funniest thing.
Funny. I totally follow the five second rule, even the five minute rule...ok fine, I just pick things up off the floor and eat it.
Eckogen....great!!
Is this show around the same size as the Tinley park shows. Looks like a show I have to get to next year.
We were talking about that at the show. They are both big, awesome shows that everyone has to put on their go to list for sure.
HEY DAV GREAT VIDEO! Any good reptile shows in Pennsylvania?
There are actually. The Hamburg show is a good one!
Ok thanks..! I will look into it.. I would really like to find a nice Leachy
I guess I'll subscribe? Heard this guy is kinda cool or whatever.
Lies! All Lies!
Hey Dave sorry to use you for info like this, but in your recent travels, are you seeing any large normal western hognose for sale, you would think people would have plenty of them, but im struggling to find big normal ones. Seems absurd lol.....
I see tons at expos. Check out your local reptile expo and I'm sure you'll see a ton

I saw them there while I was filming something. I don't think I caught them on film like Miguel did.
Thats just so messed up. Miguel has a good temper, cuz i would not have been so nice if i caught them.
Miguel is a great guy
Were are all the hot snakes the venomous ones don't want to see just boas and constrictors
Didn't see any venomous snakes how disappointing
