- Today starts another journey
from eggs to babies hatching out
and this one is an absolute ripper here.
This is actually a Black Pastel Lesser
spread to this super Lori leopard,
which means everything is gonna be Lori,
there's gonna be leopard,
and the leopard and lesser stuff mixes super well together.
Then you're gonna have black pastel,
you're gonna have, oh my goodness gracious.
This may be one of the coolest clutches of the year.
I cannot wait 'til these guys hatch.
They only have 2, 4, 5 eggs,
so there's not a lot of eggs,
but it's still gonna be amazing.
We're gonna get these into the incubator,
we'll on 'em a little bit later in the vlog
and then we'll actually cut 'em at the end of the vlog.
Oh my gosh, so guys stick around,
'cause this clutch could result in some insane baby.
- How was your vacation?
- It wasn't a vacation.
- Yes, it was.
- It's not a vacation.
- Did you work?
- No. - So you must be
getting pretty rusty, huh?
With your animal skills.
Here is Beetlejuice.
Take that for me.
Good boy.
- I definitely need to build up my nail tolerance.
- Hopefully you don't like this shirt.
Do you like this shirt?
- I do, but it's okay.
It's already covered.
- What shirt is it?
It's my Outer Banks one.
- Did you get that while you were on vacation?
- I didn't go on vacation.
- Whoa, he can flatten out his body like a pancake.
Don't worry about the nails.
Look at the muscles on this guy.
- I've been hitting the gym again.
(Noah groans)
- It feels great.
I think you did pretty well, honestly.
You can always do better.
- There are five incredible eggs in this box right now.
I cannot wait to see what these are.
These'll definitely be world's first.
No idea what they're gonna look like,
so it's gonna be really exciting.
We're up to 77 clutches now,
so it's cool to see the incubators starting to blow up.
We'll check back on these guys
and hopefully they'll be five eggs left.
And at 57 days later in the vlog,
what you guys are gonna see
some world first egg cutting.
- This one's Mike's hook.
Got your hook, Mike.
- Oh, I gotta get 'em out?
- You were the one on vaca.
- I missed.
It's like hookin' a bass.
Nice and slow, sink the hook.
- That was impressive.
- Dude, I felt his lip on my finger.
- I got this.
Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike.
Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike. - Put the hook down.
(indistinct)
- Mike, Mike, Mike! - I got it, let go!
- No.
- [Mike] I got the hook.
- Mike, Mike, Mike. - Let go of the hook.
No, no, I'm supporting the hook.
- Take the hook. - I got the hook.
- Stop walking forward.
- (indistinct),
we're not gonna get bit,
I told him not to bite.
Preparing to strike.
Look at that morphing into a cobra.
All right, grab it. - He musked so bad.
- It's like a pasta noodle.
- [Mike] Oh dude, he's musking everywhere.
- There we go, finally.
What were you worried about?
- My hand stinks so bad.
(Noah dry heaves)
Okay, we can put him back.
Oh man, he stinks.
- And we are here to cut this clutch.
I tell you what,
they already started hatching
and there are some bangers already.
I don't even know what's going on in this clutch.
First off, this is ridiculous.
This is actually a lesser leopard Lori ball python.
It almost looks like a clown ball python,
absolutely ridiculous.
I think that we might have hit the elixir.
Every now and then
when you breed a certain animal to a certain animal
you start getting things that don't make sense
and are really wild.
This is one of 'em, but that's not it.
We're just getting started, guys.
We have two babies out
and then we have three eggs that we can cut.
Who knows what (indistinct).
Look at this animal right here.
Look at that.
This blows me away.
This is a black pastel.
It's a leopard and it's a Lori ball python.
It may be one of the coolest snakes that I've ever hatched.
It is crazy wild.
I could never have imagined this combination to be this.
So again, sometimes when you make a certain combination
that's never been made before,
this is a world's first,
by the way, both of these are world's first
and the other three eggs,
they may be a world's first, too.
It is just crazy.
Blown away by the first two babies,
and there's more eggs,
there's three more eggs,
so let's go ahead and cut 'em.
Two of the eggs are actually pimped out.
We're gonna see what's in this egg right here
and just see what is going on, 'cause this is, ooh.
What in the freaking?
What is going on?
What is this?
What in the heck is this?
In there, listen,
I think there's two snakes in here to boot.
There's a couple things going on here.
There is multiple snakes.
There's all kinds of different stuff going on.
It looks weird as heck.
What, what?
I gotta figure out what's going on here.
I'm just gonna investigate a little bit more.
What?
Wait a second here guys.
I tell you, I'm just going to cut more
of this egg off
because we've gotta see what's going on in this egg.
There's also a white snake in this egg.
Look at this.
So there's a twin.
There's this animal here,
that is silvery weird,
I don't know what it is,
and then there's a white snake.
Look at its head sticking out right there.
That's not the head of this snake.
The head of this snake is buried the other way
and then this snake here is a white snake.
What is going on there?
This is crazy.
Four animals in three eggs and all four are world's first
and I've never seen anything like this in my entire life.
I hope that this one with the silvery thing, hatches here,
'cause number one, I can't even tell you what these are.
They make no sense.
A white snake shouldn't be produced
because we have to have lesser
or a blue egg leucistic coplic on both sides.
And the Lori, we've bred all kinds of things.
Never produced a white snake before.
Why is there a white snake?
And why is there a silver snake
with hardly any markings on it?
I have no clue.
Wow.
Twins and crazy twins.
I don't even know what to think, guys.
I'm freaking out right now.
Holy cow, this clutch is the holy grail.
Maybe one of the coolest clutches I've ever hatched
in my entire life.
This little gray one with little dots,
actually, I don't know if it's gonna make it.
It looks kind of small.
It looks like it's got a yolk,
a lot of yolk going on, but let's hope it makes it,
'cause that may be one of the prettiest snakes
I've ever seen in my entire life.
My gosh, this is crazy.
Two eggs to go.
What are we gonna find?
I have never seen anything like this in my life guys.
I've been hatching snakes for a long, long time
and I have never seen anything like it.
Interestingly enough, again, it's gotta be a Lori, right?
Wow!
This is a Lori black pastel, possible another leopard,
but looks completely different than the other one.
This is it.
This is gonna elevate the Lori project
to a level like you cannot believe
because when you start hatching animals like this,
that's what makes projects go.
Sometimes you'll get a project that's like,
oh, it's kinda cool,
but then you mix it with a certain gene and bam.
And this is it.
This clutch changes the entire Lori thing.
I'm gonna tell Lori who the stake is named after,
take all Lori ball pythons off the strike,
because now we know the combination
you need to breed in order to produce these animals.
And I'm gonna be working this project like crazy.
Unbelievable, last egg.
What in the world are we gonna get in this last egg?
Un-fricking-real.
I am blown away right now.
A white snake.
What is going on here?
A white snake.
Unbelievable guys.
Well, listen.
We're gonna see when these guys carve out,
we're gonna see if this silvery one actually does hatch out
here in the next couple days.
You guys are gonna see here in a minute in the vlog,
we'll give these guys a couple days.
Obviously within the next two or three days
everything should be out whole.
My goodness guys.
Hands down, craziest clutch I've ever, ever cut
in my entire life.
(indistinct)
- Small ones.
- What do you mean?
- This is tiny tongs.
- What are you talking about?
These are the tongs you gotta use 'em with.
Mike, you can't be a reptile
and amphibian and tarantula expert.
- I'm not a tarantula expert.
I never claim to be.
- Nope, nope, nope.
Give me these.
- I'm not feeding it with that.
- Yes you are. - There's no way.
- Yes you are.
- I will poop my pants.
- Come on.
- [Mike] I can't, no Brian, stop.
- Right here.
- I'm using these tongs.
- Six or eight inches away.
- Six inches, that's not enough for me.
I'll feed it but-
- You won't be able to feel it with that.
- Oh, yeah you can.
- You want me to do it?
- Yeah, go ahead.
- Look it, you don't have to be afraid.
Watch.
- That is funny. - I'm with you.
- Did you see that?
- Yeah, no, I didn't.
- I needed longer tongs.
You did it, good.
- [Mike] Next time you're doing it.
- Did you do it?
- Nope. - It's part of the training.
You didn't let?
- He was afraid.
We had to use tongs that were this long.
- Okay, they weren't three feet.
They were like.
- They were this long.
- I'm not feeding with the little tongs.
You wouldn't let me use the big ones.
You do it next time.
- It's been a day since we cut this clutch
and unfortunately this really cool animal
that I don't even know what it was,
unfortunately passed away.
That is a twin, but the other leucistic in here looks good
and the interesting thing about this
is the fact that the leucistic is the black eyed lucy,
not a blue eye, which is really interesting.
Obviously, I'm really disappointed
that this animal didn't make it,
'cause it is absolutely incredible.
Still, really cool,
so we'll wait for the last ones to hatch
and I'll update you on the rest of the clutch here
in a minute.
- Mike, we're coming up on our last few snakes here
for the day.
So far, you've done.
So if you wanna go grab it-
- You know this is Jimmy, right?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's why we're training,
we gotta get you back- - I don't wanna do Jimmy.
- You can't work open hours, Mike.
Rule number one, you can't hesitate.
Grab it.
- Oh, I can't do it, I, ugh.
- [Noah] He's escaping.
(objects clattering)
- Oh, he just musked too.
- Look at the mess you made.
Where did this even come from?
I don't like this, I don't like this.
I don't like this!
- You're doing fine.
- I'm trying to get his attention over here,
and he is not paying attention over here.
Just not to face me.
Stop, Noah, stop Noah.
Oh, he's going for my finger.
- You have to kiss him on the lips.
- Not a chance.
- Well, it's not my training day.
- Dude, why don't you kiss him on the head
and then I'll kiss him on the butt.
- [Noah] Just kiss him.
- Okay.
All right, kiss him, go ahead.
(Mike laughs)
Can we be done?
- That wasn't good.
I know exactly what to do next.
- Smell that one.
- All the babies are outta the egg.
Unfortunately that wicked twin,
like I showed you, didn't make it.
But, wow, some of these animals are incredible,
I mean just take a look at that.
Lori ball python influence is really amazing.
This is actually just a black pastel Lori ball python
and it looks so cool,
and then this one is probably by far my favorite.
Sometimes you hit that right combination
and this is the right combination.
This is a black pastel leopard Lori ball python.
It's probably my favorite snake
that we've had so far this year.
And then listen, this is amazing too.
This is just a Lori leopard ball python.
Take a look at that.
And then this one was the complete mystery.
Black eyed leucistic with ruby colored pupil.
It's crazy.
I don't know why there would be a white snake
in this clutch.
No sense at all.
These snakes only come
from fire to fire, the black eyed leucistic.
So there's no fire in either one of these animals.
Somehow when you mix these genes together
you produce a black eyed leucistic,
keeping in mind that the female was a black pastel lesser.
That would be a blue eyed leucistic,
not a black eyed leucistic,
so I'm blown away at how amazing these babies are.
And they're all world's firsts.
- Mike, last lesson for the day.
All right, don't worry about that.
That was nothing.
That was just him getting comfortable.
You have to use your hands, okay.
Don't get bit.
Now use everything. I've taught you throughout the years.
- You have not taught me anything.
- This guy forgets it all.
Now, just pick it up,
and once you have it in your hands, I'll give you the hook.
- Can I use the hook to push the head away?
- I'll help with the head.
Bark at it, Mike.
- Woof, what is that gonna do?
They can't hear.
(Noah barks) - Like that.
(Mike barks)
Basic training, snake handling 101.
What am I drawing?
- Something to take off the snake, obviously.
- No, it's an F because you're failing this class.
- Oh.
See, push the head.
- [Noah] Mike, you have to use your thumb.
God gave you opposable thumbs to grip and grab.
- [Mike] She's looking at me.
- I felt that one in my soul.
- [Noah] Well now you got her in a bad spot.
Dumb.
- A terrible teacher,
you just add my first thing.
Can I use the hook?
I don't wanna pick her up with the hook,
I just wanna move her.
- You see this?
I have one, two, six, seven and ten hooks, dude.
Grab.
Go, go, go, go!
- I messed it up with her. - You were almost there.
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
- [Mike] Going this way.
- [Noah] Gotta have both hands ready.
- Go, go!
- She just strikes every which way!
- Go, go, go!
That's it.
Felt that one.
- [Brian] What are you guys doing?
- He's tryna teach me how to do this
and it's not working.
- Oh, pick up the snake?
Strike, and then you just pick it up.
See?
- Oh, she bit you.
- No she didn't.
- I just saw her bite your finger.
Nope, she's fine.
Look it.
- [Noah] Hold it Mike.
- Brian. - Was that that hard?
She didn't bite me. - She did.
Right there.
- That's a flush wound. - That's not true.
You failed.
- I don't see any problem with it.
- I guess I'm rusty.
- [Brian] Hope you guys enjoyed today's video.
If you did, there's a playlist
that you can watch all kinds of videos.
You can also hit that subscription button,
it would mean a lot to me.
Also hit that like button while you're down there.
Have a wonderful day reptile army, remember.
- Six or eight inches away.
- Six inches, that's not enough.
