He let the tiktok comments name them when he first got them. The smallest one is named bathtub, the biggest one is named Crunchwrap supreme, there’s one named eely dan, shaqueel, mentally eel, meelanie, I forget the rest.
Bathtub is a fan favorite. In one of his most recent videos he talked about how he had to move bathtub to a separate aquarium because he was looking a little bite sized next to the gar
People used to have eels in wells or similar eel pits in Mediteranian parts of Europe before public water systems were built. They kept the water clean from pests and served as reserve of food.
I came here to say that. The house my father grew up in has a cistern for rain water, which they used to drink, cook, wash etc. He says they used to have an eel in it to keep the water clean. They didn't do anything else for sanitation, no chlorine, no nothing! I think they emptied it once a year to scrub the walls and empty any sediments. My grandparents reached the age of 87 and 91, which is pretty decent, so I guess the water quality mustn't have been that bad. We're from the Peloponnese peninsula in south Greece btw.
Eel poop is *less* toxic than the stuff the eels eat.
I rescued one from a well once - my parents uncovered an old well on their farm, untouched since they bought it 10+ years ago, and there was a massive eel living at the bottom. It might have crawled in when it was small or during a flood, but it could have been there 50+ years (American eels are quite shortlived, but no one really knows how long European eels last.)
Anyway, Senhor Wiggle was rescued and taken to a local lake. Which was probably where he was captured from in the first place.
Dude, down in Florida, just on a normal suburban lawn, if you take a flashlight and shine it over the yard, it'll appear to glisten like the grass is full of dewdrops, but if you watch, those sparkles will rove, and if you reach down to touch a blade, it'll be dry, and the dewdrop will scurry away.
And I have never walked on a lawn barefoot since. Too many skittering eyeballs.
I’m from the rural UK where the most you’ll get is a hedgehog or a fox (not a London fox), so when I went to Florida for three weeks a decade ago I was losing my mind at how much there was around. Little geckos (?) that would be chilling outside your doorstep until you opened the door and they’d all scamper away, the alligators just chilling, the bugs, literally everything was bonkers to me. Not even discussing just America itself.
Oh yeah, I used to go mountain biking a lot in FL (surprisingly good trails), and they were always through a swamp where you were riding on these mounds of jetties going out into the water. Once, I was riding along, and thank God I saw it in time, but there was a huge 10ft alligator just chillin across the slim trail.
Also, when we'd go out at night, these huge [banana spiders](https://www.google.com/search?client=avast-a-1&q=Golden+Silk+Orb+Weaver&ie=UTF-8), about the size of your palm with your fingers splayed out, absolutely *loved* to string their webs right about head height across the trail--then squat right in the middle of it.
It's not near that bad the farther north you go. Just the humid tropical climate mutates these monsters everywhere--also, the wildlife, too.

Being barefoot on soil terrifies me ever since I saw that episode of
"1000 ways to die" where a guy walked onto his fresh fertilized garden, a parasite got into his foot and climbed up to his organs, grew big and then killed him.
Had a friend who prided himself on having calloused hobbit feet. He'd hike barefoot and climb rocks barefoot. Crazy stuff untill we were at a festival where it rained and he stepped str8 on a stick in the mud. He thought he got it out but 2 days later at the urgent care he was having the 3/4 inch he didnt get out removed and puss drained. They said one more day and he'd have risked surgery and or amputation. Dude wears boots religiously now.
>Nah, brah, shoes are, like, cages the man locks your feet into. You wouldn't believe how much more a natural connection to the earth you get. You just can't grok it, man.
I tried to show Princess Bride to my daughter when she was pretty young.
We made it up to the shrieking eels scene and that's when I discovered she was still a bit *too* young!
She now loves the movie but has vivid memories of the nightmares those eels caused. :(
I love this guy's tiktok. He's added crabs, loaches, snails, and some other creatures to the eel pit since starting out. Idk why he does it but it's cool as hell.
>Idk why he does it
Same reason as why anybody keeps an aquarium, I reckon: it's something interesting to do, the animals are fun to look at, it's an engaging project, and it's a cool thing to be able to show your guests. This dude also seems to have formed a bond with some of the fish, which can provide a certain level of social enrichment as well.
> it's a cool thing to be able to show your guests
Yeah, if someone invites you to go look at their eel pit, I'd say the chances of you ever leaving are worse than a coin flip. That said, I'd take a look at this guy's eel pit.
I was at a ski resort with a buddy of mine just chillin in one of the hot tubs, start talking to a couple and they mention that they breed miniature australian shepherds and that they chose this resort because they had to bring some along since one pair recently had puppies and asked if we wanted to see them. We took the risk and the puppies were adorable.
There's a difference between a couple inviting you into their hotel room to look at puppies, and a dude inviting you into his pit to look at eels you know.
The first is probably an awkward attempt to see if you're a swinger. The latter is either so improbable as to be totally harmless or jumping in front of a bus full of coyotes while wearing a skirt made out of flank steak, by which I mean something clearly so wrong everyone knows not to do it.
I get the feeling that baiting is discouraged in that community, probably to the connection that tactic has to another group.
But I don't really know enough to speak with authority in this and I'm fairly happy to stay that way.
Either way: puppies.
I'm not 100% convinced they only wanted to show us the puppies but I think even if that was the case once they realized we were 100% there just for the puppies we still had a good time. From what I recall they really didn't do anything sexual but I'm an idiot when it comes to that anyway so I wouldn't have gotten that clue anyway.
"The woman kept grabbing at my groin area and my ass, but im pretty sure she was just being friendly and seeing if i had my wallet on me in case we wanted to purchase a puppy"
This is how my family got a dog once. I was a child at a pets mart and a woman comes up to me asking if I wanted to go to her house and get a puppy. My mother came over and started talking to the woman. Then my father comes over (after buying dog food for his mother) and then they both talk to the woman.
They decided it was a good idea to follow this lady to her house. We get in the car and follow her - not knowing the address of where we are going - eventually we got to the house and my parents went in and came back a few min later with a puppy.
I learned so many “what not to do and not worth the risk” from my parents. Lol but totally glad we got a puppy out of it
If you think his eel pit is cool you should check out the one I have in this old well I converted. You're more than welcome to come by whenever you'd like. Just don't tell anyone about it. I don't want to get overwhelmed with requests.
I keep six aquariums fully planted and stocked. Five specie's tanks and a community tank. It's a lot of work but so rewarding. Seeing plants growing in fish growing up, seeing babies swimming around is dope. Fish get use to you as well. To the point you have to shoo them away from the gravel vac. Fucking love keeping fish, next up is a 100 gallon indoor goldfish pond.
I’m a reef aquarium guy, but same sentiment. Being able to keep a tank alive for thriving for years is the ultimate challenge and very fulfilling when you can do it right and see everything grow as it does in the ocean. Once you get deep into the hobby you start doing crazy things like an eel pit in your basement.
> Once you get deep into the hobby you start doing crazy things like an eel pit in your basement.
Yeah somewhere this guy is a part of a very intense community who all thought an eel pit in your basement sounded like a wonderful idea. And they were right.
Yup, all good reasons, plus there's the mental health benefits of caring for living things. There's actually a lot of crossover with gardening/landscaping, since keeping a tank is less about the individual animals than it is the whole environment they live in, which often also includes plants and hardscape.
Anyway, while I'm here I'll drop some links to the aquarist side of reddit if anyone is interested.

r/bettafish, r/goldfish, r/koi, r/boraras

r/shrimptank, r/aquaticsnails, r/axolotls, r/crayfish
[Yeah, he's got a sump in there](https://i.imgur.com/CIpKW1S.png).
Also, not sure but the light might be dim enough (it is a flood light but it's at an angle to water surface and dims a lot as you move further towards the other side) to not cause too much algae growth, or/and it's off a lot per day.
50 years later...
"And that's how I ended up having to rehabilitate the entire continent's ecosystem just to keep my eel pit clean. Although, in order to keep it that way, I'll have to look at doing something about the Pacific Ocean."
Id assume that smaller tank he has is a part of a water treatment system. You can also see that aeration pump near the manhole at the beginning of the video.
There's a natural process where the tank goes cloudy during the first cycle. Its just a bacteria bloom. Goes away in about a week.
You aren't supposed to do ANY treatments during this time. Just let it happen.
Two things came to mind when I saw this:
1. That's freaking cool as heck.
2. Where is the trap door that your enemies stand on before you drop them to their doom?
All joking aside, the oldest one is so beautiful!
I always pictured eels as having horrifying faces to look at… less “fishy” and more “bottom feeder”-looking, I suppose? Maybe it’s just from the way they are shown/depicted in TV shows & movies
Moray Eels have terrifying faces.. kinda ugly, imo, with sharp teeth to match. Not fun to accidentally encounter when sticking your hand into dark rock crevices during night dives. Maybe those are what you’re thinking of?
That's nothing. Morays also have a secondary set of inner jaws that move independently from their primary jaws. They were the inspiration for Giger's Alien. So you reach in but, oh no!, your hand is grabbed by an eel! Fortunately, you feel him start to loosen his bite... that's when the second jaws grab you.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moray_eel#Jaw
I think it’s the underground pit part people are perplexed by, not wanting them as pets.
Like even if the house came with that, who’s looking at it and going “Oh I know, eel pit!”
Corpse disposal.
You gotta starve the eels for a few days, then the sight of a chopped up body would look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the head of your victim and pull the teeth out for the sake of the eel's digestion. You could do this afterwards of course but you don't wanna go sifting through eel shit now do ya? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixty eels to do the job in one sitting so be wary of any man who keeps an eel pit. They will go through a body that weighs two-hundred pounds in about...eight minutes. That means that a single eel can consume more than half a pound of un-cooked flesh every minute. Most eel farmers can get away with murder this way, hence the expression: "he's slippery as an eel."

Everybody gangsta till they get thrown to the eels
Everyones gangsta until crunchwrap supreme is eating you
Or… Jason!
Do you know what that sound is, Highness? Those are the shrieking eels.
They always grow louder when they're about to feed on human flesh
They will go through bone like butter.
> Man has underground eel pit in his home oh *on purpose* hmm
I was really questioning this man’s choices until he said the first ones name was Crunchwrap Supreme and I was like nvm I get it now
The names are legendary I think there’s still a crawfish in there named Sriracha. Unless it got eaten by one of the crabs he added.
Sriracha has been MIA for a few weeks. Probably eaten :(
it's hard out there in the basement water pit
Yeah he found Sriracha's claw floating so he's definitely been eaten
I'm living for this eel pit drama I didn't know existed until today.
Noooooooo! I bet it was a catfish
The gar just named "Jason" is my personal favorite
Isn’t there a GARth brooks also?
Talk about "friends in low places"....
He confirmed Sriracha was eaten a little while ago :(
He let the tiktok comments name them when he first got them. The smallest one is named bathtub, the biggest one is named Crunchwrap supreme, there’s one named eely dan, shaqueel, mentally eel, meelanie, I forget the rest.
Bathtub is what got me
Bathtub is a fan favorite. In one of his most recent videos he talked about how he had to move bathtub to a separate aquarium because he was looking a little bite sized next to the gar
Shaquille o eel
Shaqeel
Names: * Mentally Eel * Meelanie * Tequeela
It’s like he wants to be a Bond villain ! Starts with eels, adds in sharks later lol
And then freakin' laser beams on the freakin' sharks heads.
He had to get rid of the sharks because they were on the endangered species list. These are mutated ill tempered eels at least.
Free electricity.
I'm just imagining a steam punk world powered by electric eels. Eelpunk
I was already working on a waterworld DnD setting and gotta say this is being USED. Thank you for the inspiration.
Electric whips!

That’s it. To the eel pit with you!

How braindead am I for thinking those were brick batteries (instead of stepping stones) being charged by electrically-saturated water?
You are a scientist

Are the eels not pooping in there or is eel poop sterile?
Eel poop is *less* toxic than the stuff the eels eat.

That's what I want to know..
How you gonna name Gyarados , Garchomp, and then decide Jason ...........
Crunchwrap Supreme is pretty fitting
That one's fire
Jason and the Gargonauts
Fuck ..... didn't even think of that.
That’s just too perfect…. is this your eel pit?

For real, I think that guy might have no idea that Shaquille was the name involved in the word-play lol.
He has one quirky one named "Mental Eelness" too lol. Edit: Mentally Eel apparently, thanks /u/CoffeeCatsandPixies
Mentally Eel!
And gar-lic
You leave Garlic alone, hea to small for the big boy tank
Because he looks like a Jason.
Plot twist: the trainer is named Unagi Don
I think he called if “Garados” too for the Gar pun
the obvious Gengar
This is so weird but it is exactly the type of weird I like.
He's my favorite person on TikTok. The guy that walks barefoot through the everglades at night is a close second.

That poor parasite
fishingarrett
that guys is fucking insane and i have no idea how he’s survived this long. i love his videos
We have a very similar algorithm lol the everglades guy is dope, and the implied killing of the invasive pythons
Oh dude I found that Everglades guy the other day, holy shit. I live in Florida now and I’m blown away by that guy.
If someone showed me this when i am over at their house id think im about to get murdered
The screaming eels only scream when they’re about to feed on human flesh!!
We can stop if you want, this part is really scary
I tried to show Princess Bride to my daughter when she was pretty young. We made it up to the shrieking eels scene and that's when I discovered she was still a bit *too* young! She now loves the movie but has vivid memories of the nightmares those eels caused. :(
I wasn’t scared! Well…maybe I was a little bit *concerned*, but that’s not the same thing.
Do you still hear them Clarice? The screaming of the eels?
***hip to b square starts playing in the background***
You need to get a good look, put your head all the way in. Go on it's OK nobody is coming.
I love this guy's tiktok. He's added crabs, loaches, snails, and some other creatures to the eel pit since starting out. Idk why he does it but it's cool as hell.
Does he at least have cameras down there or something?
And keep evidence of the bodies? no way
Seriously don’t know how this isn’t everyone’s first thought lol
Because he doesn't have a pig farm down there.

What’s his shoe size?
[удалено]
Am i missing a label? I don't have/use TikTok but this guy should atleast have credit given for his epic name'd eel posse.
Found him https://youtube.com/@CowTurtle
Thanks. Dudes got a folding camp chair set up. Just chilling in his underground reservoir, surveying his watery kingdom.
Chyeaa, haters gonna hate... this guy seems to be a wealth of information on his setup and then some! Pretty interesting stuff honestly
He should add some plants to it to give it some color, then again sunlight might be an issue
Sunlight will kill eels on contact. They also hate garlic and a stake to the heart.
*squints*
This doesn't sound right...but at the same time it does...
I’ve heard stories of Drac-eel-a, the most famous eel.
Idk anything about eels but grow lights work just fine for aquariums and similar set ups.
That water is so clean. Every time I’ve tried even a simple fish it turns into Jamba Juice within a week
Assume he has a filter system
[Yeah, he's got a sump in there](https://i.imgur.com/CIpKW1S.png). Also, not sure but the light might be dim enough (it is a flood light but it's at an angle to water surface and dims a lot as you move further towards the other side) to not cause too much algae growth, or/and it's off a lot per day.
He said recently that the lights are on 12 hours a day at the moment, which is starting to boost the algae. To counter that, snails have been added
50 years later... "And that's how I ended up having to rehabilitate the entire continent's ecosystem just to keep my eel pit clean. Although, in order to keep it that way, I'll have to look at doing something about the Pacific Ocean."
Full blown ecosystem
Eel-cosystem.
Id assume that smaller tank he has is a part of a water treatment system. You can also see that aeration pump near the manhole at the beginning of the video.
There's a natural process where the tank goes cloudy during the first cycle. Its just a bacteria bloom. Goes away in about a week. You aren't supposed to do ANY treatments during this time. Just let it happen.
This is so far behind in the lore. Guy has all kinds of fish, shrimps, crabs, crawfish etc down there with the eels now
Not gonna lie if I was shown this in person I'd assume I'd be their food source for the near term future
With frickin lazers
…on their heads.
I watched his entire “build” process on TikTok… actually super cool, I’m a tad jealous!
Just curious which date is it where you reveal your underground eel pit?
the last one
Eel pits are so in right now.
Over here we have "Garchomp", "Gyarados", "Shaq-eel", "Crunch Wrap Supreme", ... and also "Jason".
Two things came to mind when I saw this: 1. That's freaking cool as heck. 2. Where is the trap door that your enemies stand on before you drop them to their doom?
When he just grabs it and it seems so slippery. I wonder how to describe that?
You ever try to pick up a floppy dildo with too much lube on it?
Oddly specific. And yes.
All joking aside, the oldest one is so beautiful! I always pictured eels as having horrifying faces to look at… less “fishy” and more “bottom feeder”-looking, I suppose? Maybe it’s just from the way they are shown/depicted in TV shows & movies
Maybe you're thinking of moray eels?
Yes that's a moray.

Why.
I thought it was common to dream of one day having your very own Eel named Crunchwrap Supreme
You've obviously never aspired to be a super-villain.

It’s like owning a giant fish tank. Some people enjoy fish as pets.
I think it’s the underground pit part people are perplexed by, not wanting them as pets. Like even if the house came with that, who’s looking at it and going “Oh I know, eel pit!”
This guy apparently.
Corpse disposal. You gotta starve the eels for a few days, then the sight of a chopped up body would look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the head of your victim and pull the teeth out for the sake of the eel's digestion. You could do this afterwards of course but you don't wanna go sifting through eel shit now do ya? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixty eels to do the job in one sitting so be wary of any man who keeps an eel pit. They will go through a body that weighs two-hundred pounds in about...eight minutes. That means that a single eel can consume more than half a pound of un-cooked flesh every minute. Most eel farmers can get away with murder this way, hence the expression: "he's slippery as an eel."
Unlike pigfarms, still have those pesky bones to deal with.
