AnimalBytesTV Net Worth $4 Million
Brian’s love for snakes was born when he was only two years old, when he saw a snake in a zoo, and subsequently became passionate about them. He would catch snakes and take care of them, and later on started earning money from doing what he liked; his financial stability allowed him to buy a house and start a family early in his life. He really rose to fame when he started his YouTube channel, AnimalBytesTV, making his first video and uploading it under the title ‘’Snakebytes.TV – Teaser’’ in early 2008, which has attracted more than 66,000 views as of today. He continued to work at a fast pace, uploading more, similar videos such as ‘’SnakeBytes Hatching’’ and ‘’SnakeBytesTV Flavors’’, all during the same month, followed in the same year by uploading the video ‘’SnakeBytesTV- snakes we haven’t shown you before!’’, now having been viewed more than 164,000 times, so adding steadily to his net worth.
However, some of his really popular videos now include ‘’ World’s Longest Snakes! EP. 424 : SnakeBytesTV : AnimalBytesTV’’ with more than 24 million views, and ‘’Biggest Snakes in the World! SnakeBytesTV’’, with 9.6 million views, obviously intriguing to the audience, although AnimalBytesTV received mixed comments, as some people loved his enthusiasm and dedication, but on the other hand, they were shocked by his profession or thought that he was selfish to keep his snakes as a ‘’collection, in small boxes’’.
Nevertheless, he has continued uploading more videos, with some of the latest being ‘’ 7 Amazing Pets [Reptiles] To Own! Pros VS Cons!’’ and ‘’ Become A Millionaire Breeding Leopard Geckos!!!’’, both released in May 2017. Overall, his channel has over 650,000 subscribers, and been seen more than 172 million times, which certainly plays a significant role in his finances.
Besides that channel, AnimalBytesTV has another more personal one, uploading videos from his everyday life, which is followed by an army of almost a million subscribers; his latest videos include ‘’ Christmas Miracle! No Eyed Snake Ate!!! (Helen)’’ and ‘’ Girl Rides A Huge Alligator With David Dobrik!’’, both released in late 2017.
Besides being active on YouTube, AnimalBytesTV can be seen on television, in ‘’Venom Hunters’’, broadcast on Discovery Channel, also contributing to his net worth.
When it comes to his private life, AnimalBytesTV shares a fair amount of information through his vlogs and social media. He has been married to Lori – who at first hated snakes – since 1992. AnimalBytesTv is active on Instagram, on which he is followed by over 9000 people.
