You should have a little blog or something you can transcript your video reviews into text and have them be anonymous for these types of situations. So people can see honest reviews that you can write without fear of repercussions. If a brand trys to sue you for honest feedback, that's a BIG PROBLEM, and makes it even more important for consumers to hear.

@@NORTHERNEXOTICS I would totally take some courses like that. I’ve only owned reptiles for around 2 years now and, even though I research constantly about them, I’m of the opinion that there’s always more to learn. I enjoy learning about the reptiles I own and those that I don’t. P.S: I have 3 baby mourning geckos (about 3 weeks old) and 6 more eggs I’m waiting on to hatch, plus my 2 adults Laverne and Shirley both have more eggs coming soon. I love that I can see the little white ovals in their bellies as they develop their eggs and it makes it easy to know how many eggs I’ve got coming. ☺️

If courses were available I'd be very interested, because then I'd know for definite which species would suit me best and exactly what their needs are. If I were to go into a reptile shop, I don't think I'd know where to begin because I've learnt about so many snakes and lizards.

From a fellow tortoise keeper, please don’t feed them shop bought greens or plants, they give them very little if no nutrition. weeds, weeds and more weeds are all they need, plus safe flowers. Get yourself the tortoise table app. You’ll be surprised what’s in your garden. Happy to help if I can :)

I will never understand companies like that. Common sense dictates that when you spend that long imagining & creating a product, you want it to be the best version of itself. You’d think they’d be a bit grateful that whatever issues were found, were spotted early enough in its release that they could have easily had a quick tinker about in those areas & fixed them. People want their animals to be safe at the end of the day, there’s no such thing as overthinking when it comes to that. So if refusing to listen to constructive criticism now leads to customers that do run into those safety issues posting negative reviews, all they’ll have really done in the long run is damage their products reputation themselves.

A bit bitter sweet watching this video. It goes without saying that you have the up most respect and care for yours and other animals/reptiles. You do the most amazing builds and give the best care advice. Always trying to give the best to animals. The time when you had your flat broken into and your pets were at risk was heartbreaking and your genuine love and care for animals and your reptile/invertebrate family was shown massively. I'm glad to hear you won the case with this company as you should of witch is the sweet part! The bitter part is that this is the first video of yours I have watched for a long time, maybe a year, due to the title of the video that drew me in. At one point, I watched you on another beloved invertebrate/reptile KZfaqr's live stream were you made a comment (about yourself, in all respect) that is a hateful word towards the LGBTQ+ community. Just really disheartening as I use to look at you for inspiration and use to get excited for each video that you uploaded to your channel/s. Your second channel aimed at hiking, nature, and van life, is superb and everything I live for. Yet I can't bring myself to watch as it just feels wrong to support someone that will happily use hate rooted words towards LGBTQ+ community to describe themselves in a challenging situation. I understand that we now live in a world were you have to be politically correct witch can be challenging, but as a youtuber/influencer, I think it's important to be aware it these thing as you have people looking up to and admire you. With that said, I am thrilled to see all the animals are doing well and over the moon that you won your case. It shows that you won't settle for nothing but the best for yours and others animal family!
