New England Reptile

It is with great sadness that we want to pass along the news of passing of our dear friend ‪@dingodinkelman‬ . Dingo was bitten by a green mamba about a month ago, and though he fought as an absolute warrior, Dingo passed away earlier this week.

Dingo was a light in the reptile hobby un-like any other. He will be missed by his family, his friends, and people around the world who he shared his passion and love for animals with.

We love you Dingo! We take some level of peace in knowing that you and ‪@BrianBarczyk‬ are re-united again.

Thank you New England Reptile. I learned of your YouTube channel from Dingo mentioning you in one of his videos. I'm honored to have known you both.

I can't fathom the pain kirsti and his children are dealing with, he was their rock! Sooo sad but again he knew he was all allergic to venom. He knew of he got bit ONE more time that he could die but yet his love for these animals still kept him taking care of them. Rip dingo

Dingo made me laugh with his failures but he also made me happy by giving me something to be proud of dingo and Brian both I loved watching there videos but then Brian got pancreatic cancer and because of dingo allergy to venom I was too scared to keep watching there YouTube videos because I knew that the day I would have to say goodbye to both of them would absolutely break my heart and I was right I'm sad they are gone from my life
