oh and what you missed and what really helped me from the last show I went to, premixed substrate and cork bark. I needed both (really wanted something perfect for my rubber duckies so having a premix from the breeder just really made me feel more confident in buying them )
Hey I just wanted to mention, you got me to pull the trigger on getting into the hobby through your super informative videos! I hope to someday end up at a show you're at! Just more or less locked down getting 4-5 cultures though tbh I had intended to start slower but the Isopod community has been super kind to me and given me lots of opportunities! Well, time to start a smol business and finish setting up my enclosures.
THIS! Is so awesome to hear. We love putting out content and to see this is inspiring. Thank you for the kind comment and best of luck. Anything I can do to help, please let me know.
@@SupremeGecko If ya still do your setup reviews once I get my pods and have everything set up I might be interested in submitting a video for review! I'm patterning most things off of stuff I've seen from ya, or Aquarimax Pets do! I did do a little of my own thing with the substrate but we'll see how well that pays off.
@@EthicalAquatics Devin, I have not been for the past year. BUT, I should start this up again. If you send me a 1 minute video, I absolutely will. Catch me on FB if you would. Interested to see what you are doing with the substrate.
This is so good to know! I have mostly scaber but I just got some rubber duckies. Soon enough I will have enough scabers to really need to start selling them.
Now, I have to attend a Reptile Show. I liked to see another grandchild/granddaughter. Is this the Reptile Show where Christal get to meet Crystal from Crystal's Plants & Pets?
Ah very nice. I used to go to birdshows to sell parrots. I remember having a list like this so I wouldn't forget anything. Fun times. Good luck at the show. Oh, man that list of things to say at the end of videos. One of the things I hate about youtube. When I see videos saying sub etc I'm much less likely to do so. If a channel has good stuff people will join. Should go without say. I refuse to do that. Never have never will.
I should have all this written down, You are right. But I go through the day before about 10 times in my mind :) Over analyze . So, I think you are absolutely right about the 'script' If you notice, I'm getting away from it (other than when N/C are in the video as they like to say it). Let me ask- if you've seen my little pop up of Subscribe, what do you think of that? Thanks
@@SupremeGecko Lists help. I even have a travel list and though I have a decent memory I still write down the super obvious like wallet and keys. Ha ha. I have ad blocker and auto play blocked and a few other things custom on my firefox PC browser so I don't get annoying ads and pop ups on youtube. I hate that youtube now forces ads even if you don't monetize. I promised I would never have annoying ads back when I started because I care about my viewers too much to put something I myself hate. But now it's not up to me. I'm thinking of making a video showing how to use firefox to make youtube more enjoyable and those ads are not my choice. Even long before youtube when comercials came on TV it was time to mute it, get up and get snacks. I knew exactly how many minutes to go away and come back just in time for my show.
@@ScaryFear Oh gosh, where to start. I live Excel (sheets) now. That was my job for many many years. So, I completely agree on lists :) I don't write down though to eat breakfast and brush my teeth. You have me beat there. Ads- Ads are going to happen. YT does this on their own. BUT, I use it as a plus. Last year, I took all the ad money and gave it right back to my viewers in a Year End giveaway! I will probably do the same this year, OR will use some of it for much needed improvements to my tech- to be able to do better videos and make this channel even more helpful. I understand your point. Hope you see why I do this.
Wally will you be at the SEWERreptile show on August 1st? And I actually have gotten isopods from Isopod Freak! Very nice guy, he had a lot of isopods including rubber ducks
I WILL be! Scott is a great guy. Make sure you stop by and say Hi. I am super slow in recognizing people at shows (I hate this!!!!) so be patient with me and (or just mention you are the youtuber that has the male wheeleri :)
I love reptile shows!!!!
I do too. So much to do!
The QR code is an awesome idea! Great video, I always enjoy you and Nanettes interactions😁
Thanks Bob. This was absolutely last minute spur of the moment as last week I finished 8 videos!
Great knowledge!!!
Thank you. I'm not sure why YT is showing me this now and not a week ago. I try to answer all comments in a day!
wow great information Wally there is a lot to remember when vending shows and having a check list before you leave to go to the show is a must ...
Right on Andrew. This was very informal but I thought it would be very useful too. Thanks!
Excellent Video Wally I really wish I lived closer so I could go to these shows
I do too buddy.
Sometimes I don't even come here for the isopod content. Wally, you and your family are just so damn wholesome ♥
I agree with you about Wally's family, but you forgot ADORABLE!
You are way too kind!
@@Elaine_P_Smith Thank you Elaine.

excellent!
Nanette keeping you organized as always. I will see you Sunday at the show.
She DOES! When you stop by to say hi, mention your ID please. I cannot keep people straight anymore. So very sorry.

Excellent information Wally! I learn so much from you!
Thanks Emily. This was fun. I was surprised on how many items I missed that Nanette had :)
You guys always make me laugh. Great video.
Thank you, if someone learns something, great. If someone laughs, great!
This is so good to know! I have mostly scaber but I just got some rubber duckies. Soon enough I will have enough scabers to really need to start selling them.
Fantastic.
Great advice! I hope to start vending shows in the future
If you have ANY questions, let me know. Not an expert but feel we do well at shows.
@@SupremeGecko Thank you! I'll definitely ask if I think of any.
Now, I have to attend a Reptile Show. I liked to see another grandchild/granddaughter.
Is this the Reptile Show where Christal get to meet Crystal from Crystal's Plants & Pets?
:) probably not this one :)
Thank you Wally and Nanette. Great and fun video.
Thank you Barb.

Wally will you be at the SEWERreptile show on August 1st?
