Shutting Down My Reptile Business Sostic Reptiles

Today we're going over why I am closing down my crested gecko breeding business that I started in 2017. We also go over what's coming next and what the future holds for this channel.

A couple things I forgot to mention:


#2. I will continue to monitor my Sostic Reptiles Instagram and Facebook messages for the time being until all the remaining geckos are sold.

#3. I can't stress it enough but I am greatly appreciative of all your support whether you're a new listener or old. Gecko breeding and my journey here on YouTube has been a lot of fun and such a great learning experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is on the fence about jumping in. I wish you all well on your journey.

Much Love - Sam

I wish you so much success in your future endeavors and i still hope to meet you one day out here in the reptile world. You have a great head on your shoulders and you know what you want out of life so im sure you will make it happen. Much love fam <3

It's a huge loss for us as a community to lose you as a whole alongside your wealth of knowledge and passion. I've watched your channel since just before we purchased our boy for our daughter (nearly 4 years?!). You've been such a huge help and inspiration. I've loved all of your photos and videos. I've found that you've not only helped me understand our crested gecko better but the costs and trends across the years.
I'm totally OCD when it comes down to preparation... bit of a geek in that respect!😂 Seeing your charts and spreadsheets, It's always been clear that you put a lot of time and effort into explaining things down to the finest of details.
But you need to do what's right for you, period.
Thank you so much for all that you did for the community, it really was inspiring! As cheesy as it sounds, I wish you all the luck in whatever you choose to do next.
On a completely different note... 24?! Oh my goodness! Not that age has anything to do with it, but I didn't realise how young you are!? I found once I hit mid-late 20's, mentally, your personality is sort of set? It doesn't really change, ergo I always assume that people are/tend to be around the same age?! But, Ouch! 24?! 😂 ... You are clearly incredibly talented, and have no doubt you will succeed in your next venture 😊. I'll stop waffling now 😅...

WOW. After doing 7 years business, you are still only 24. You are still so young, having so many opportunities. In a word, best wish for you.

I just found this channel, and am sad to see it shutting down.

Wishing you well in your future endeavours. You just keep doing you.

Just got this video recommended to me. Sad to see a fellow gecko business close down. Wish you the best man!

[pegacoach]

You are my favorite gecko youtube creator! Good luck with your future endeavors!

[LegacyRetics]

Follow your dreams man. I've always said grind hard in your 20s, set yourself up to have what you want in your 30s, retire in your 40s and do whatever you want after. Good luck on your future dreams! Your videos are great and btw the clothing line is great quality!

[saralou]

You have to do what you feel like you need to do. I’ll for sure miss your videos. I power watched all of them on this channel and it’s been fun. As a new crestie owner, I’ve learned a lot from you and others such as Supreme Gecko. I wish you nothing but the best!

[Spotted_lily_exotics]

So sad to hear this, but you have to do what you need to do. Best of luck with your new journey!

[michaelhall]

Sam, just wanted to say thanks for all the great content you’ve put out. Always been my favorite gecko channel. Wish you nothing but the best!

I sold off all of my 5 reef tanks and business to get into this hobby because of you, and I respect you for making this decision good luck.

[spaghettistrands]

8:55 what genetics does that gecko have? I've never seen one like it, looks like a calico cat

[frankdughtank]

It was an Amazing Journey! Thank you for being such an amazing person and inspiring others!

[ginochavez]

Well Sostic I’ve been a fan for many years and still am. You made me pull the trigger on buying my first crested gecko. You’ve always given us great insight in your quality made videos. You are extremely underrated and talented. You have helped me with questions and have given me advice and I can’t thank you enough. I truly hope you succeed even more in life and and accomplish even more of your dreams and goals. You have made a huge impact in the reptile world and have left your stamp. You are a great human being and wish all the luck in the world. God Bless you.
