This vid turned out great man! Thanks so much for coming over! I have so much going on still lol! Thanks for all the amazing comments you guys. I'll go through and reply to you all when I can. I appreciate the support so much
A crime like that is 100% someone who knew him; knew where he was too, and sadly, more than likely still talks to him (that's the worst part about it). I hope he now has cameras everywhere, in case it ever happens again, he'll have early warning. The animals were probably all sold, which is why they were stolen. Yeah, I hope that scumbag gets a dose of karma too!
i feel like they either wanted to sell them or they were one of those peta nuts. not necessarily affiliated with peta, but those 'how dare u keep reptiles i'll let ur tortoise free in a pond' ppl
Bill is one of my favorite humans I've know him since I was very young and hes definitely an inspiration. Always there to answer questions and shoot ideas back and forth with me. Love ya Bill
What a great guy with so much love and heart for these animals ❤ Taking in all these rescues and letting them live their lives there with so much care is AMAZING 👏 I know these animals aren't cheap to take care of, so ppl should help out ALL reptile rescues in any way possible. Some of these stories of how he git them just broke my heart and it just opens his heart to them even more 💔 We definitely need more ppl lin the world like him and that's all across the board, not just as reptile rescuers, but for every animal and for our fellow humans in need as well. Sending lot's of love and positive energy to this guy, his animals ❤ I'll definitely stay updated on him.
Right on Billy you are a good guy! I wish you and your facility much success. I actually have an older female ball python that I rescued and rehabilitated, She was a mess, had deep rat bites and scars all the way down the length of her body and one of the worst RI's I've ever seen. It took a year to fully resolve the RI and her skin is much better after being properly kept and plenty of warm water soaks every week. I also condition her skin once a month with essential oils, I know that sounds weird but it actually got rid of a lot of her scaring. I would love for her to live in your facility. I only have room for a few rescues at a time because I also breed Ball Pythons so I don't have a large enough area to quarantine many animals at once. I like to take on snakes that are in really rough shape, rehabilitate them and then find them a good forever home.
Love this! I agree regarding the bond with your reptile; it’s the bond we have with them 💕 Got my first reptile at 48 years old, I love my Banana Ball Python, he is very calming. How cool to be able to give the old reptiles a retirement/hospice home! Thank you to all that help our animal friends and so much love to my fellow animal guardians ✨
I love watching vids like these. Such love and respect to y’all. The love of these beautiful creatures is shown in how Bill talks and handles tese babies. ❤❤❤❤
I found that my amazing panther chameleon was great for anxiety, I used to just sit and watch him eat breakfast while I ate breakfast before work. It was very zen.♥️ Now I have Kermit the frog...the ornate uromastyx (sadly wild caught & initially kept in poor conditions). He is always excited to see me and loves to come out on my hand. I think what you are doing is tremendous. Animals are so healing. 🌟 You are an amazing human being 🤗❤️
I was thinking that! I’m a true crime nerd & as soon as I heard it I immediately thought it had to be someone he knew. It’s a literal kidnapping but with reptiles. We should start a society of animal kidnapping investigators.
As a animal behaviourist, biologist and paleontologist i would just like to mention that reptiles do develop bonds with you they can care about you and trust you we are pretty sure that they don't feel the emotion of love but that doesn't mean they can't care about you they can care about you just correcting you guise about that what most people don't understand is that just because reptiles don't feel thee emotion of love it doesn't mean that they can't deeply care about you so they can bond with you you don't need the emotion of love to care about someone\something the only requirement is sentience and even if you ignore scientific evidence that states that reptiles can care about you you can tell just by interactions between reptiles and humans or reptiles and nonhuman animals.
I’ve had my beardie for 6 years since she was a baby and I just got my baby tegu if anyone ever stole them I would personally track them down and take them down myself💯 feel so bad bro he’s so humble what a horrible tragedy to happen
OMG I love this guy you have such a peaceful soul and such a animal lover I love that I love that from the bottom of my heart words can't even say how happy you make me when you take an animals God bless you that's all I got to say cuz people are so mean today that animals and everything else but God bless you you bring a tear to my eye
What a wonderful way to persevere after so many set backs it really is a testament that kindness will always be more powerful than hate☺️. Two good looking fabulous fellas and a ton of outrageous reptiles what’s not to love? Thank you ever so much for sharing and best wishes always.
Does he get a kickback from " mod podge " ?? Because he keeps saying that products name instead of Hodge podge ..... mod podge is for collages!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰 Wonder if Kenan would take that alligator
Haha! Lmao I didn't even realize I said that. You're right lol. No kickbacks I just messed up my words. Once the gators get a little bigger they go to Critchlow Gator Sanctuary in MI
What a horrible thing to have happen, I’d be devistated, we’ll done on your recovery Billy! I love your love of reptiles man!! That Aussie gecko is new to me! What a cutie!! Flying geckos?!?! I thought I’d seen everything! Apparently not!
Poor Jake! I feel terrible about stories like that. Abandoned and neglected alligators are a serious problem here in Idaho, believe it or not. DO NOT GET AN ALLIGATOR FOR A PET. Bill, you're an angel, man.
Can’t believe someone would do that! Glad your working with the community. I have wanted to do programs for along time and in the coming years (thanks to you guys) to start. I saw emerald tree skinks and it made me so exited 😂
I don't know what I would do if I had 40 of my beloved pet taken away from me... Billy is such a sweet guy and seems so positive in the face of such lost... I truly applaud him!!! and to care for sooo many special, foster and golden day reptiles is super kind! not everyone would be willing, sadly; not not everyone sees the diamond in the rough, as it were. It take a very special, kind & loving heart to do everything Billy's doing- he definitely deserves the spotlight!!!
I wish him all the best in his adventure, so bad it had to happen by getting his animals stolen. Wished he get his Tegu back but, it's just a wish. Glad he's got something to have open for the lovely old and sick reptiles.❤😊
What an inspiration! It really is great to see someone who truly cares about the animals! Keep going strong! Also, those guys who stole your reptiles, I hope they get eaten by a pack of feral cats. 😊👍
@@brookeandersen-gazda6118 I'd have been happy to have one of my beardies back, but I honestly dk what I'd do if someone took my tegu. I'd lose my frickin' mind. He's asleep under my head this very moment lol
Bill should double check the Taenicauda with little Jon. I had what i thought was a male for years and then sent it to him and he told me it was a female. Females and males have a bulge but males bulges look slightly different.
i am wanting to set my lighting uvb and uva on timers. what do you recommend for my bearded dragons? price isnt an issue as long as it works very well.
Was the beardie the only animal Billy ended up getting back? And is the investigation still ongoing? Hope they end up charging the dbag! I dont know what I would do if I lost my collection like that. Way to bounce back billy!
I was recently released into home hospice, and would to love to have a western hog nose snake albino. The things I have at home makes me so happy. It u have one or know of someone who does please please let me know.
Hi Dav Bill is exactly the kind of keeper we need more of. I advocate everything he does. That’s my attitude if they breed fine if they don’t no problem either. All of my reptiles will live out their lives with me, their like my children. Cheers from down under mate 🦘🦘🦎
Sounds like it was someone who knew he wasnt going to be there because he was moving and id just keep an eye out and tell people to watch for these animals
This vid turned out great man! Thanks so much for coming over! I have so much going on still lol!
Thanks for all the amazing comments you guys. I'll go through and reply to you all when I can. I appreciate the support so much
Always a pleasure brother
its amazing how bill has been able to recover after his animals were stolen. props to him
I don't know anything about this channel but if someone stole his shit I hope they were caught.
Sounds like someone who knew him. Hopefully the animals will be taken care of and the dirtbag will get a good dose of kharma.
A crime like that is 100% someone who knew him; knew where he was too, and sadly, more than likely still talks to him (that's the worst part about it).

I met Billy at St Louis NARBC. Such a good guy. Glad he’s doing well.
I thought he looked familiar that must be where I’ve seen him before
Bill sounds like a great bloke, well done and keep up the good you are doing.
Why would you wanna steal someone else pets to begin with? I’ll never understand some people
There's dickheads and there's $$$. There you go.
They took an entire breeding project makes me think they plan on selling them
i feel like they either wanted to sell them or they were one of those peta nuts. not necessarily affiliated with peta, but those 'how dare u keep reptiles i'll let ur tortoise free in a pond' ppl
The education side is so special to be involved in. I would love a video about how to get more involved in it.
Bill is an amazing person. I would love to see his collection in person.
Great to see him again
'if you've been watching this channel for a while, you'll recognize this guy'
Bold of you to assume I have any amount of memory dedicated to faces
You're awesome Billy. Keep on keeping on. Rattleon both of you.🤘
Thanks for the update Dāv! Billy definitely has a herp heart. You are a kind friend to keep him and his hard work front and center.
Oh man. The gator stories are so heart-breaking. 🥺
But such a sweet collection. 😍 Good job Bill.
Bill is a class act. Great video Dav.
Bill is one of my favorite humans I've know him since I was very young and hes definitely an inspiration. Always there to answer questions and shoot ideas back and forth with me. Love ya Bill
17:25 the animals are all free-loaders 🤣😂🤣
Incredibly beautiful and awesome ❤️ great video!
This is why I wouldn't show off a reptile collection that was outdoors/a place that didn't lock up like Ft. Knox, alarms included.
He seems like a very awesome guy with a huge heart!! I love that he was wearing your merch!!
Thank you for the update with him!! He’s great!!!
I see a video with Bill , I automatically click ! Such a great guy ! Great video Dav !
Bill seems like such an awesome guy
Bill is such a happy guy
What a great guy with so much love and heart for these animals

those are really beautiful animals and it s a pleasure to see how you take care of them, how affection and love you display.
Bill is such a great person.
Thank you! What a sweet man.
Oh wow! What an outstanding human being.

I'm gonna try drinking from my butt next time it rains, sounds like quite the experience..

I like that he said that. The animals are not commodity
Bill and his old reptiles reminds me of me and my 19 year old cats and 6 year old dog that acts like she’s 10.
Love his story
So so rad rad rad rad
You are amazing 🐺❤️
Can’t believe someone would do that! Glad your working with the community. I have wanted to do programs for along time and in the coming years (thanks to you guys) to start. I saw emerald tree skinks and it made me so exited 😂
Wait I thought I saw Emerald Tree Skinks...is he breeding them? please do!

Hope u come to Kentucky. Would love to go herping here and in Tennessee.
very cool! awesome dudes C:
What an inspiration! It really is great to see someone who truly cares about the animals! Keep going strong! Also, those guys who stole your reptiles, I hope they get eaten by a pack of feral cats. 😊👍
I remember when this happened, it shocked me to my core hearing about this tragedy. Thank God he got his tegu back :)
He didn't
@@TheBachBabe odd, I recall him recovering a single animal... must have heard wrong 🤷♀️
If im correct it was one of his beardies.
@@brookeandersen-gazda6118 I'd have been happy to have one of my beardies back, but I honestly dk what I'd do if someone took my tegu. I'd lose my frickin' mind. He's asleep under my head this very moment lol
@@IrieRogue I want one someday but currently have a whole ass zoo as is lol
Holy crap saw this guy in Nashville!
I think I’ve met Billy before, my best friend used to be a snake breeder near Kenosha.
many of those seem pretty rare, first time I saw those ( I am a new Reptile lover, only 3 years )
I would feel at home in the mogepoge .. I built most of my lg enclosures so they don't match but work good for the animals that call them home
That gator is really, really sad. Whoever owned him should be in jail. 😔
He should have his own yt channel for education!!!
OMG so many awsome skinks: Sulawesi, ocellated, pink toung, prehensile, and those in the sand.
I’ve moved on…. It still bothers me! 🙁
Lol! I didn't realize I said that. Haha. That's funny.
Bill should double check the Taenicauda with little Jon. I had what i thought was a male for years and then sent it to him and he told me it was a female. Females and males have a bulge but males bulges look slightly different.
summertime, and the livin' is easy
i am wanting to set my lighting uvb and uva on timers. what do you recommend for my bearded dragons? price isnt an issue as long as it works very well.
What is this clickbait? I came here expecting some John Wick shit.
Glad he has moved on! He is a great guy!
Was the beardie the only animal Billy ended up getting back? And is the investigation still ongoing? Hope they end up charging the dbag! I dont know what I would do if I lost my collection like that. Way to bounce back billy!
Any advice on caring, etc for my sons leopard gecko?
Hi dav and billy
"excuse me, we're trying to film the bugs"
redfoot: no im cuter and more interesting uwu film me
Does anyone know if dav ever have showed he’s own reptiles?
This dude is an absolute legend. He’s just all about the animals and i love that. Especially after everything he’s been through
Jake has same sad story as Rex from Snake Discovery :/
I was recently released into home hospice, and would to love to have a western hog nose snake albino. The things I have at home makes me so happy. It u have one or know of someone who does please please let me know.
Doing God's work!!!!!!
I'm not happy! WHERE are his stolen reptiles & are they being properly cared for??
Don’t lie Dav, we know you don’t flush your toilet for three weeks at a time, all about the pheromones.
hey that’s my dad!
Alligators make good pets you gotta know you’re doing if you get one
Kenosha Wisconsin?
Nice
How do you acquire your aussie species?
Hang em high👍
And now Billy is a gun owner (I’m assuming)
i love reptiles i am in uk
Nice setup!
Like looking into a mirror. 🤗

"Animals that were the property of the Herp society" hmm.
