(smooth jazz music)
- Hey, good morning everybody
and welcome to the vlog!
I'm here again, with a couple clutches of ball pythons
that we are gonna cut and see what is inside of them.
But, before we get started,
we did it one time where we had all of this crazy set-up
and we were happy with the results
but not as happy as we could be.
So, what we did is we have a little bit different
lens that has a little bit tighter shot
on the egg up top,
we still have our slider over here.
Jay is actually gonna shoot some tighter shots
of actually cutting the eggs.
So, let me know in the comments, number one,
if you like the improvements you're gonna see
with this egg cutting, and number two
do you have any advice for us that you would like to see.
Regardless, the first clutch is a female pastel
bred to a male Woma lesser pin.
Let's get started.
Again, we have four genes going on here,
so we could get some pretty cool results.
I'm always excited just to cut eggs, regardless.
These guys are ready to go,
and right off the rip
we've got a Woma lesser pin.
Doesn't look like it's a pastel,
but it's definitely a Woma lesser pin.
So, we got three of the four genes,
just like the dad, which is really awesome.
Let's move on to egg number two,
and see if we get anything different on this egg here.
Let's see.
Okay, what do we got?
What do we got, what do we got?
Okay, interesting.
Another Woma lesser pin.
So, (laughing) with two eggs
we got both the same thing,
both Woma lesser pins.
So, let's move on to egg number three,
and get an idea if we've got anything different.
So far, I'm happy with the results, though.
Whenever you can get three genes in one animal,
it's pretty awesome.
Okay, here we go, here we go, here we go.
What do we have here?
Hmm, gotta take a little bit of a closer look in this.
Okay, you know what this is?
This is a Woma lesser.
So, so far we haven't had any of the female,
which is the pastel gene, moving on.
But we're still doing pretty good.
So, all right, I'm gonna go on
to egg number four here,
and we're just gonna see what we get.
All right, here we go, come on.
I would really love to hit that four gene animal.
That would make me so happy.
And what do we got?
Ope, another Woma lesser pinstripe,
and Woma lesser pinstripes are really cool
because they've got that kinda real soft pattern to it.
Really, a cool animal.
But, again, just hitting three genes.
Not hitting the fourth gene,
and still, no pastels,
which is really unusual.
So, we're on to the last two eggs.
Let's see what we get!
Oh my gosh, it's so exciting, and...
This is interesting.
This looks like it...
Oh, this is a pastel for sure.
Ah, no I take that back.
I'll be totally honest with you.
Now that I see the head a little bit closer,
this looks like another Woma lesser pinstripe.
How absolutely bizarre is that?
So, so far we're getting a lot of Woma lesser pinstripes
and we're not getting any pastels.
We have one egg left to hopefully hit it,
and I can see a little dark spot right there.
That usually tells me that there's no pastel
because it's not real bright.
Regardless, just gonna go ahead,
cut this last egg,
and we're gonna see
what happens.
There we go.
Here we go, just make a nice little slit here.
Yep, just as I thought.
Not a very bright animal,
but weirdly enough,
this is actually pretty funny guys. (laughing)
This is a normal pastel ball python.
So, out of the five eggs we cut,
there were no pastels
and there was all kinds of combination
of Woma lesser pins, Woma lessers,
and all kinds of different stuff like that.
But then, the only pastel that we hit
in the entire clutch happens to be a single gene pastel.
But that's okay.
Still an absolutely awesome clutch.
I love cutting these eggs.
We do have one more clutch to cut.
This is definitely a large clutch.
There's nine eggs in this one.
It actually was just a normal female ball python
but it was bred to both a banana Enchi
as well as a banana extreme gene spider.
We don't know who the dad is,
which makes it really exciting,
because as we're cutting eggs we're gonna find out,
did that dad, the banana extreme gene spider
father a clutch, or is it just gonna be the banana Enchi?
We're gonna find out right now.
First eggs, guys.
Here we go.
What do we have in this egg?
Okay, what do we have, what do we have?
Huh, hmm, that's interesting.
I'm not really sure what exactly that is.
That might just be a normal
or it could be an extreme gene normal.
Because it has a very unusual pattern to it,
which is pretty darn cool.
Huh, interesting.
Okay, we're gonna move on to egg number two,
and maybe the mystery will actually
get a little bit clearer for us.
Let's see what we have.
Huh, how weird.
Another normal ball python.
Hmm, I dunno.
I guess, until these hatch,
I won't know if they're extreme gene.
But so far we haven't hit any mutations at all,
which I find very peculiar.
Egg number three.
Let's hope we get something.
What if we got all nine normal ball pythons?
To be honest with you,
wouldn't make me that unhappy
because I like normal ball pythons.
Sure enough, another normal ball python.
Wow, and they do have a little bit
(laughing) interesting colors but,
to hit three normal ball pythons
is definitely a little bit bizarre.
So let's move on to egg number four
and see what we can do here.
Oh my gosh, what a trip.
Okay, what do we got?
Do we got another normal or do we got something else?
Okay, we got a banana ball python!
Could a banana Enchi, hard to say,
but at least we know that the banana is in there.
We definitely got one banana, for sure.
But now we don't know if the spider extreme gene,
not sure yet, so let's keep cutting
and wait to see what happens.
Okay, here we go!
Ope, looks like it's gonna be another banana,
and ope, no I take that back.
It's not another banana.
But, interesting enough, it is a spider ball python.
It could potentially be a spider extreme gene.
Oh, and it does look like a spider extreme gene,
from what I can tell.
We'll have to see when it comes out.
But now we know who the dad is,
which is the banana spider extreme gene.
Unfortunately, we haven't produced very much
other stuff with it.
But hey, we've got a few more eggs to go,
so let's go ahead, cut this egg,
and see what we have here.
What do we have, what do we have?
Okay, another banana.
Now, again, this could a banana extreme gene
or it could be just a banana.
Little bit hard to say.
But well, (laughing) we got a couple bananas
and a spider so far.
Haven't had any real combinations yet,
so let's see if we catch up on these last few eggs.
All right, here we go.
And I always talk about how genes are that way.
Sometimes the Odds Gods are in your favor,
sometimes they aren't.
This is definitely a banana,
and this one definitely looks like an extreme gene.
So, I think we definitely hit a banana extreme gene
in this particular one here.
So, that's good at least.
I'd love to hit the banana spider extreme gene.
But we'll see, we've got two more eggs to go.
All right, here we go people.
All right, doesn't look like a banana to me.
But what does it look like?
Looks like another normal ball python
that could potentially be an extreme gene.
Again, when they come out,
extreme gene is a little bit reduction
a little bit of stripingness to it
and stuff like that.
When it comes out, we'll have a better idea.
Regardless, one last egg for the day.
You guys ready?
I'm gonna make a prediction and say
this is a banana spider extreme gene.
All right, we'll see if I'm right.
I have no idea.
All right, here we go!
(laughing) Our last egg.
Come on Belgy, come on.
Oh my gosh!
Are you kidding me right now?
It is a banana spider extreme gene.
(laughing) I called it, and we hit it!
Woo doggy!
That is a beautiful animal! (laughing)
I am so excited.
So it took the last egg, but we did it!
So, hey guys, that wraps up
the ball python egg cutting for the day.
Let me know what you guys think,
if you have some advice for us.
Where the shots better this time?
Regardless, let's go ahead,
get into the rest of our day.
While I've been working hard,
Lori has just been messing around
with the Tipster stuff.
What do you got going on there?
- (laughing) I'm literally gonna punch you.
- (laughing) No, the truth is, is that
Lori actually put these Tipsters on the pallet
and palletized them,
and they're actually going off to VAT19 today,
so that they'll be there so we can launch the Tipster,
and VAT19 is gonna do all the fulfillment on it.
Plus, they're doing some videos and stuff like that.
So, you're all set.
You just gotta do the things?
- Gotta finish wrapping them up,
making them secure, and ship them out.
- Okay, all right.
One more thing to get out of our basement,
so I can build out these rooms for our camera,
our geckos and whatever else we're gonna do.
Hey guys, I was gonna-- - No!
- Ask you guys something that...
You know, a couple days ago,
I actually went in and did a swimming session with RJ.
- Really? No way - I just went in there.
And I was thinking, I really wanna do something,
like maybe in one of the basements
where we build a pond,
where for a fee you could actually swim with RJ.
- No! - 100% dude!
- Are you serious?
- I'm dead serious.
I think it would be really--
- What the hell, that's crazy.
- I think we should build a big old...
(door creaks)
I thought it was Lori.
We should build a big old pond, dude!
I'm talking huge, okay?
- [Brian] Yeah, exactly.
- Big one!
- [Brian] I know, right?
- Snorkel around.
I think that, to start with,
just to make sure my concept works,
I think that you should swim with RJ.
- Listen, he just... - Yeah, yeah!
- No, no.
- Dude, you're wearing swim trunks right now!
- It's not a good idea.
I am. - You're wearing them!
- This is true.
- You've got to!
- No, he gets real hungry when he sees me.
- Yeah, but, how am I gonna offer that
to other people if we can't even do it?
- You've got to. - Well, because--
- Well, I did it.
I swam with him no problem.
- You don't...
They pay first,
and then if they get hurt,
you know, it's okay.
We already got the money from them.
So then, it's just a win, win. - That's true.
- [Brian] Ah, okay. - Think about it.
- [Brian] So, is the answer
you're not gonna swim with RJ, then?
- Just go swimming. - No, I don't, no.
That's a small pond, and I need
to be able to swim fast away, okay?
- Come on, we're supposed to sell this product
to the viewer! - Let's do it.
- Okay, all right, last thing.
Last thing I'm gonna ask is that
I think that we should do a 24 hours challenge
with either one of you, on an inner tube,
in RJ's pond.
- Dude, I'm down for that!
That'd be relaxing, man. - Dude!
Relaxing? - Nice tube, you know?
Your feet might get a little wet.
- You have your butt in the water in the tube,
and then RJ just comes up and just (claps) gets you.
- Look out, that's right.
- [Brian] So you just wanna wait.
We'll push off the swimming part,
but we'll get some inner tubes, okay?
You guys ready? - I'm ready, I'm ready!
That's great!
- Okay, yeah, and let me know down in the comments
if you guys think I should do a swimming with RJ experience.
I'll try to make that happen in the next six months,
or something like that.
So, all right but we're gonna do
a 24 hour challenge on yours.
- I'll do it, if Eric does it with me.
If we're in there together. - [Brian] All together.
That's nice. - I'll do it.
I'll do it.
- Okay, all right.
I like the idea.
Lot of people have been asking about an update
on Nova and his girlfriend over there,
and I did wanna tell you guys that it's getting close.
At least, we think so.
Looks like she is loaded up with eggs, right now.
The other day we came in, and she had actually
been digging in that box over there,
which is basically our nesting material, over there.
So, I think she's gonna have eggs pretty soon.
I mean, I hope so.
Fingers crossed.
So, I just wanted to update you.
Yes, it looks like we're gonna get eggs,
and yes, Nova does look like he's gonna be a daddy soon.
(smooth jazz music)
In the dungeon, of course with Kelsey.
We have a couple clutches of ball pythons.
- Yes we do.
- [Brian] All right, let's get going.
What's the first one?
- First one is a cinnamon paint bred to a Woma lesser pin.
- All right, that's absolutely cool.
I talked to you about the super paints
that we had before.
Really cool animals.
I love this girl.
Is this the first time she's produced.
I don't think she went last year, did she?
- This is the first time she's produced,
since I've been here.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh.
- We didn't have much luck the first two years.
- Yep, so that's the first clutch from her,
which is absolutely incredible,
and they look really beautiful.
Again, that paint is a co-dominant mutation,
and the super form is really awesome.
So, breeding to a Woma lesser pin,
we should have some really cool potential offspring.
She is a gorgeous snake too.
How many eggs we got there?
- One, two three, four, five, six.
- Six eggs, that's not bad, too.
Again, the Woma lesser pin is going to be
a triple co-dom incomplete dominant.
Of course, cinnamon is a co-dominant
with that paint gene on it.
So, really, there's five genes in there.
So, fingers crossed for some good offspring.
Next up, it looks like we have an albino female.
What was it bred to?
- Just an albino.
- Okay, so an albino to albino.
Looks like she's laid one slug, about a week ago.
It might be good, it might be bad.
I don't know.
But I see one good egg, right there!
- And that's promising!
- So, at least she's got one good egg out.
Ope, looks like we got some slugs too.
There's a couple good eggs,
and it looks like a bunch of slugs, too.
Ah, there's three good eggs.
Okay. - All right, we'll take it.
- Yeah, hey, that's not that bad.
Of course, albino to albino recessive mutation
means they're all gonna be albino.
We got two perfect eggs, one boob egg,
and then it looks like,
two, four, six, seven slugs. (laughs)
So, definitely not a super great clutch.
But, I always tell you guys.
I take you on the good, the bad, and the ugly.
We've had an incredible year.
Not many slugs, but every slug that we've gotten,
you guys have seen.
So, I take you along on that process.
So, all in all, I'll take it right.
Three albinos is better than nothing.
So, there it goes when it comes to ball python clutches.
But, Kelsey, we have another clutch, too, right?
- Yes, we do.
We have a spotted clutch.
- All right, I love spotted pythons.
You know we're hatching childrens,
we're starting to hatch Stimsons.
Now we got some more spotted python eggs.
And I'll be honest with you,
I'm not sure what it is.
Maybe it's the fact that I just
kinda started with pythons
way back in the day,
and Stimsons and spotteds and childrens
were just kind of a pinnacle animal for me.
I get excited when we have spotted's
or children's python clutches.
So, let's hope for the best.
Let's get this going.
These are later in the year.
The majority of them already laid.
So, sometimes that can mean fertility issues.
So, we'll see what happens with this girl,
and hopefully she'll be okay.
Oh, she's got a couple weirdo eggs over there, too, right?
- Yep, seeing these slugs here.
- [Brian] Yeah, there's definitely some slugs.
Is there anything good in there?
It looks some good.
- Yeah, there we go.
- [Brian] Yeah, got some good.
She is definitely coiled on them,
and do not wanna let go.
- She's all pretzeled around them.
- [Brian] Yep, and it looks like the eggs are all loose.
- And they're falling apart. (laughs)
- So we're just gonna have to get her off,
and we'll candle all of those eggs.
- Oh, I'm sorry eggies.
- Yeah, she's all over the place.
Oh my gosh. - Not a great clutch.
This is what we have. (laughs)
- Oh my gosh, that's it, huh?
So, we have four good eggs,
a handful of slugs.
Ope, five good eggs. - Five.
- So there it is.
Five good eggs, that's a big girl.
Again, sometimes you see that at the end of the year
colubrids, pythons, all that stuff.
A lot of the times, if everything is already laid,
and they're two or three weeks behind,
a lot of times that's some fertility issues.
Regardless, we'll still get five eggs in the incubator.
These guys hatch in like 50, 52 days.
So, all in all, still a great python day.
Way to go Kelsey.
- Thank you.
- I'm not gonna lie to you guys.
Although it was an amazing day and stuff like that,
after coming back from that long trip to Wisconsin
with little sleep, I am definitely exhausted.
If you don't mind, I'm gonna shut the vlog down,
wish you guys an amazing day,
tell you how much I love you guys.
Be kind to someone, and I promise
I will see you guys tomorrow.
