In this educational video I show one of the rarest tarantulas I own! The infamous Vietnam Silver aka orithoctinae sp. Vietnam silver has never been in the US and this piece of video might be the very first time this species has been caught on camera. Furthermore this tarantula is extremely elusive so documenting its unique feeding patterns is amazing to say the least

In today's video, I save aquarium fish from a polluted sewer INFESTED with deadly snakes! After a monster flood here in Florida, all the sewers have been flooded with fish that are now trapped and left to die! So I tried to save out as many fish as possible, however we discovered hundreds of dead fish already... But in the mix was a few fish still alive which we caught out and saved! We found big snakeheads, cichlids, bluegill, AND MORE rare aquarium fish! We also netted out 2 mystery snakes which were living in the sewer! We then decided to place a fish trap to try and save as many fish as possible! Later that night when we checked the fish trap we were shocked at the amount of fish we caught, but we also discovered a possible deadly coral snake in the fish trap as well! So we had to be super careful getting the fish out while avoiding this deadly snake! We took all the pike cichlids, prawns, clown knife fish, jack Dempseys, AND MORE back to my backyard ponds to give them a new home!

It took 100 days to capture this transformation and I can’t wait for you to see the end result. It’s so peaceful! Our ecosystem is teeming with life, from live fish and snails to deadly predators like the lobster and lizard. This thriving ecosystem has reached perfect harmony and become an oasis for both me and its inhabitants.

Thanks to Victor for letting Leo & Larry hang out! They're baby nile monitors and can grow up to 6ft long 😲 They require special diet and UVB lighting, so be sure to do your research if you're looking to get a pet lizard!

Divers encountered a giant oarfish off the coast of Taiwan. The fish has holes that are believed to be from a shark attack.
