I’m soooo jealous of the young woman who’s in 8th grade!! To be that young and THAT interested in reptile’s/amphibians, etc., and to be on an expedition like this…we’ll done! I’m a 61 y/o woman who only realized how amazing reptiles are about 5 years ago. I have 2 Ball Pythons now and if I had known about reptiles when I was her age, I’d probably have had a reptile facility decades ago. 🦎🐍🐢❤️❤️

@amandastakeonit7402 Год назад

Hey Clint! Just a video idea.... I'd love it if you could do a video on especially tiny pet snakes, particularly the Dekay's Brown Snake, the Ringneck Snake, or the Rough Earth Snake (I don't know if anyone actually keeps those, but they seem nice, and are abundant in the wild, so I don't know why no one would keep them). My apologies if you've already done these snakes, and I just missed it on the channel.

@TV-wu5py 7 месяцев назад

I've been to the Ecuadorian rainforest twice now, and I loved every second of both trips! That said, as much fun as I had, you are definitely ready to get back to civilization after 5-6 days, and the humidity is brutal -- be prepared to be drenched in sweat 24/7 even after you just get out of the shower. But that said, I came prepared with mosquito repellent, so I did not find the bugs to be all that bad, outside of a few roaches, ants, and cicada that got in the cot. But I would definitely say it was worth it, as we had some amazing animal encounters that I will never forget!

We've gone out with the us military for jungle training sporadically. We're well equipped, trained beforehand, and have great support. Its fcking miserable. We've measured cross country movement in meters. I admire your guys passion though. To me the claustrophobic feeling in the rain forest where you can see 3 feet in each direction is very stressful. Just wondering wtf was just beyond there waiting to kill me. We get guys with diseases that our and local medical care, have never seen before. A few years ago we had 2 guys get deathly ill. Survived. Other plus sides they were in medical journals and got new tropical diseases named after them. Oh and opfor with weapons was very low on that list of concerns the fcking flora and fauna was above them😂

Hey Clint, my family loves your videos. I spent a week at Sacha lodge in the Ecuadorian Amazon 14 years ago and it was the greatest experience of my life. Now I have kids and not a lot of spending money, but it's my dream to return to the Amazon oneday or any rainforest, and bring my kids. I like your idea to make a video about what gear to bring, but I have another idea for a video that I know I would love. I dunno if there's any content out there for this. What about a video on how to plan for amazon trips? Like how to look at all the options, costa rica, Ecuador, peru, how to find all of the lodge options and compare them in terms of cost, amenities, access, diversity and likelyhood of finding different species, safety, is it kid friendly, primary vs secondary forest, stuff like that. This is info that anyone planning a rainforest herping trip is likely desperate for.

Good morning. I have a question about a bioactive build you did awhile back. This is one where you used Gorilla glue, your own substrate mix, and some cork rounds and branches. I'm getting ready to follow your instructions to build one of my own for an adult Crested Gecko. Must I treat the water, used for the build, for chemicals? I know that any water I supply for drinking and misting has to be treated. I'm not sure if that's true for the water used in the build. Thanks, Clint. I love your videos.

I wouldn't take a woman on that sort of thing and as a woman I wouldn't want to go! I used to love the Victorian era but the more I think on the discomforts of all women endured and then to think they used a bucket to go to the bathroom, and it was dumped once or twice a day....kept in the bedroom.... the hygeine hurdles alone would keep my husband from having an heir!! I can't help but think of these things! No way! Give me flushing toilets, feminine hygeine products, no corsets and whale bones for me!
