Pure White Alligator Gets New Home!

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.

GM Noah, Lori and all. I don't think even Brian realized how fast Salt and Pepper would outgrow their enclosure. This is a great interim space. Can't wait to see them across the street in the 20 ft. long one. One step at a time....the progress is real and the end is near. Have a great week.

I've been watching this Chanel since before the repterium. I used to get my friends high and make them watch Brian. They know him as the snake guy and still talk about him till today. They never watched this channel unless if they were at my house so when I told them about his passing they thried to comfort me. I never knew the mahn but they knew how much his channel meant to me. Thank you guys for keeping the content coming and the animals in safe health

IVY 💚She’s such a Queen Lending Her Palace to Salty and Pepper 😅🐊🖤🐊🤍

I know this has all taken longer than any of you hoped but it feels like Brian laid it all out for you to do to keep you busy, focused and wanting to continue after he had to go. Of course it would all be better if he were still here. I think he would love that people will walk in and now see salt and pepper;
Love to all

Salt n Pepper really do look great in that enclosure! I’m sure they are enjoying the extra space while their new and even bigger enclosure is finished. Well done guys. 💜☮️

Day 388 of leaving a positive comment for Brian and his crew and family. The baby gators are getting so big. The place is looking great, I hope all the animals are loving their new homes.

Lori and crew, it is just so amazing to see all of this coming together. To see how all of the crew has grown so much and stepped up to the plate to make this dream come to life is just awe inspiring. Lori you and Noah are doing a wonderful job of bringing this all together just like Brian dreamed.
