About Brian Barczyk:

Brian Barczyk was a passionate wildlife enthusiast and vlogger who dedicated his life to sharing his extraordinary journey with animals on YouTube since May 10, 2016. His remarkable adventures led him to be part of TV network series, produce “Brian In The Wild” a documentary in South Africa, travel globally to encounter incredible animals and their advocates, initiate “Checking In” a podcast, establish “AnimalConUSA” a convention for animal content creators and their fans, and create The Reptarium - an interactive reptile zoo in Utica, Michigan, among many many other achievements.

In March 2023, Brian faced the greatest challenge of his life with a diagnosis of inoperable Pancreatic Cancer. His strength, courage, and the unyielding support of the incredible #ReptileArmy community inspired him to continue sharing his story and pursuing his dreams, even in the toughest times.

Brian's vision for the LegaSea Aquarium & The Reptarium, a symbol of resilience and the power of dreams, is now a legacy that his crew and family are devoted to bringing to life in his honor. As we break ground on this expanded facility just across the street from The Reptarium, we embrace this mission as a testament to Brian's indomitable spirit.

Join Brian's crew, family, and the #ReptileArmy in continuing this inspiring journey of discovery, conservation, and hope. As we vlog the LegaSea aquarium build, embark on adventures around the world, and deepen our connection with wildlife, we pay tribute to Brian's legacy. Together, we will forge a future where every encounter with the natural world is a moment to inspire, educate, and celebrate the extraordinary tapestry of life that Brian so loved.

Reptile Army, thank you again for your patience this morning with the late upload! We appreciate you so much and have a wonderful day!

Its been hard to watch the vlogs again after knowing brian has passed. He inspired me to have a zoo at my house, and i never got to meet him, like i wanted and its kinda depressing not seeing him in the vlogs. Its still absolutely awesome to see him live through his family though. GOD rest his soul...

[VSputniK]

Rest In Peace Brian, I hope you know that you’ve helped so many people and that you were a great youtuber

Salt went to the edge and said Catch me catch me Mike! So dramatic! 😂 I love them all!💚💙

Great Vlog!!! Jay, Lori, Noah, Mike, Jay, Melissa, Alyssa, Jackson, Gabby, Cameron, and Feebee

Always nice to see the Beautiful Lori on the Vlog. Glad that She has returned safely from Her Hawaii Vacation.

Great Job Guys maintaining the Reptarium and Legasea Aquarium. So Lori could return to a cleaner, more organized worksite with very little chaos.

Melissa Your Office looks amazing. I know that You helped Jay with His Office. Jay and Melissa Great Job on Jay's Office. Alyssa love the rug. Make sure that You are taking time to finish Your Office.

Enjoy the Process. That part of BhB looks really good.

G’day everyone getting closer & bloody excited. Mike, fellas & fellets lol, gotta love Mike a bloody legend. Love ya’s and cheers from down under 🦘🐍🦎🐢

As someone with a lot of experience with Moss, if you don’t have isopods and springtails in there, parts will go mouldy especially in an aquarium setting that has really high humidity

I hope you consider getting some and including them with the wall if it’s going to be living Moss

The baby sloth is like I'm liking this I'm getting cuddles

[bkm]

LILO is so adorable, and you could tell how excited the people were to hold her. Gabby first experience feeding Kush, wouldn't be wearing sandals, lol. Those guys at the LegaSea should definitely be wearing mask, very concerning.
Salt is so ready to go for a walk, who'd of thunk, lol, beautiful animal. Thanks guys for some giggles and updates, hope everyone has a Great Day.🦎🐍🦈🐊👍❤️

Loved seeing a quick glance of BeBe! I remember when Lori and Brian picked her up in Wheaton, IL. I absolutely LOVE Great Danes ❤

[yfnswervo]

I miss when Brian use to go like " Hey, Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the vlog. I hope the start to your day is incredible" 💔

[greenbankreptiles]

Mike.. you're a legend.. maximum respect to you, Sir!

[lukemorgan]

I see the major progress in the Legasea. Its going to be amazing maybe a better word once it's open. I'm sure even when it's open there's going to be a few minor things but that's part of running an awesome feature such as the Legasea aquarium.

[ltheeagle]

Good morning Noah Lori Jay and crew I hope y’all are having a great day today. The tanks look amazing and I can’t wait to see them with water and fish in them. Y’all have been doing a great job with the vlogs and on the legasea. I know Brian is smiling down on y’all keep up the amazing work. I love y’all and I hope y’all have a great day each and every
