I love isopods so much
Which types are you keeping?
Number one tip: Bring a lot of different bills for change 😂 I vended at my first show last month, And completely blanked on change, I only had like two 1$ bills and one 5$ bill so I kept having to ask my covender for change.
It’s one of those things you don’t really think about until your first customer buys a 5$ springtail with a 20$ bill 🤣
Excellent point. I know EXACTLY what you mean. I didn't cover some of the basics (lighting, money,... bringing the animals :) But great point. PM me on FB (Wally Kern) if you get a chance. I would love to find out how the show went and if you would consider adding Supreme Isopod Chow to your sales items).
@@SupremeGecko The show was super fun!! Last November’s Rexpo I got to help a vendor selling feeders and dry goods and it was awesome. This time was my first time selling my own stuff (I just brought springtails and rice flour beetles and some leaves to get a feel for selling stuff!)
I didn’t get to sell isopods this time, because dumb me forgot to apply for a permit!! But next Rexpo I’m vending is in November and I plan on focusing on powders and creating new powder morphs. I’d love to offer your foods, I’ll message you when it’s closer to the show time? You and Nanette are just such amazing and generous people, I just love how humbly and respectfully you share knowledge and advice!!
@@hh_herpetology3373 EVERY show is a learning experience! Every one for us. So never take it as a negative but a positive for the next show. And thank you for the very kind words! We really appreciate that. Yes, let me know as we get closer to that Nov date. And, if you ever want to chat about shows, just let me know. I'm no expert but we have a few hundred shows under our belts and I can certainly share what NOT to do ;)
Looks like you were panicked at the end!
Hello great video information Wally
THanks. YT is showing comments that I already commented to last week but much have been removed.
Hi! We are going to a reptile show to sell our pods in February. What permits will we need? I watched your video about the forms but the USDA changed the whole format in September of this year so was hoping you could point me in the right direction?
I haven't checked the APHIS / USDA requirements since doing this video (as of course, I have my permits). You should start with APHIS site to see what the new requirements are. www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=afb3c85ab0b72683JmltdHM9MTY2Nzc3OTIwMCZpZ3VpZD0wZmRmODAyNS1mOWY1LTY1NjgtMTNlMS05MDExZjg4YjY0MDQmaW5zaWQ9NTE3Ng&ptn=3&hsh=3&fclid=0fdf8025-f9f5-6568-13e1-9011f88b6404&psq=aphis&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYXBoaXMudXNkYS5nb3YvYXBoaXMvaG9tZS8&ntb=1
Great Video as always. You and Nanette are always great at engaging with the people at expo’s. Definitely find those interactions are what show someone willing to assist rather then just sell the animals.
I always forget that part of selling ;) Thank you for the kind words.
10:00 haha, I thought "why do you have sunglasses in with the isopods?"
This was answered a few seconds later by watching.
Oh my gosh!!! I had to watch it a couple times to find the sunglassed then it was WTH!!!! And, watching a couple more seconds we get the answer. NICE CATCH!!!
Maybe you don’t tap fish tanks……..lol jk no you don’t
I...... I don't :) Just never did I guess. But I know it's hard not to do.
I want to start an isopod what to breed
So many choices. Start with a wild isopod!
Hi Wally & Nanette! Will you be at the expo in Green Bay on aug 29th?
We WILL be! If you are looking for anything, please let me know.
Informal is working great!
Thank you for the feedback. We never know.
Notifications failed me!!!
I'll work on that ;)
I picked up some Dairy Cow Isopods from you guys this week! They are amazing! Thanks again
Thank you! And love your channel. Aren't you out of the country this week?
@@SupremeGecko I live in WI 🧀 😂
@@ChallengetheWild I know, but I thought you were taking a trip to Hawaii this week.
Nanette you are very important to the whole package!
She doesn't understand sometimes how important she is to everything, to everyone, to me.
I wanna see Gus!
I will try next isopod video. Thanks
Great points
Thank you.
Hey Wally, if it's ok to ask, what app do you use to edit your videos?
I would to use an app that let's me ay a video while the audio of another plays, like how it was happening in this video
@@SupremeGecko sure! Thank you 😊
I am so confused on what happened a week ago with about 8-10 messages. Did the reply ever go through on this? Did you get your answer?
@@SupremeGecko yeah I got the answer 😊
Excellent Video Wally lots of Good points and Scott is an Amazing person!!!
Agreed about Scott 100%
What would you guys use other than limp wood charcoal to culture springtails
Can you check for this in our videos - Just search springtails under Supreme Gecko.
Great tips Wally! I'm way behind on your videos since my move a few months ago. Keep an eye out for a view spIke from my binge that's headed your way!
No worries at all. I hope you enjoy the ones you missed ;) Hope the move went well.
Most people would put a QR code on each species and each food and each substrate,
and all the QR Codes would be the same and all just go to the homepage.
I am so happy to know there is more than 1 human on earth, who actually makes use of QR Codes the way they SHOULD BE used.
Being able to scan a QR Code at a trade show and save a screenshot and/or shortcut of what you are interested in, is a massive form of respect of the persons time.
I hope people you are rare for doing that and appreciate it.
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment! I feel that if we can make the process as EASY as possible for the customers, they will appreciate it.
Always enjoyed your videos
Thank you very much.
great video! I am going to an expo in just a few weeks hoping to get an isopod for my bearded dragon enclosure (my research says Armadillidium vulgare) I will be getting enough to create a culture as well (to go with my 3 scaber cultures...My expos don't get many isopods so it will be lucky if I find them (maybe I will have to start vending after I get more species)
A lot of reptile shows are now featuring isopods (for bio-active). I'm surprised if yours does not). Good luck and let me know if you do not find what you are looking for.
Do you need a permit to sell at a repitle show?
How do you find reptile shows to go to?
Whats the average cost for a table at one of these shows?
Just got my new settlers a couple days ago and they seem to finally picked a spot in their new world to settle down.
Yes.... Google reptile show and your locality..... depends of size of show ($30 - $500). Congrats
great information and thank you for sharing keep up the amazing work guys
Thanks Andrew.
Oh no Wally I wanna see the video of you opening the right package!
:) That's so boring. We need to do things the wrong way to spice up life :)
Love the shirt Wally. Great video.
One of my favorites
Another entertaining and informative video.
Thank you so much Charles.
Great video again Wally and Nanette!
Thank you very much.
I thought Gus was a giant isopod that got loose! I like this format, if it save you time, stick with it. 😁
Sounds like Gus is a giant isopod! Click Click Click. This format saved about 3-4 hours on scripting and editing. Still about 3 hours though. Not complaining! I like both formats, but thank you for the reassurance.
@@SupremeGecko I like both as well. I know you are a busy man and I know how much you can do with 3 hours 😄
@@BOB-ud4gy Thank you Bob.
I love all the tips!
Thanks. I hope this helps someone.
