- Oh look it!
Look it, look it, look it!
Jerry's got food.
You wanna eat buddy?
You wanna have some food? (mellow piano music)
Ow Jerry!
Snake bites are gonna happen.
It's all part of keepin' snakes.
(chill music)
Hey, good morning everybody, welcome to the vlog.
I hope the start of your day is absolutely incredible.
I just wanted to give you guys
a little look at Pickles here.
A few people have been asking recently
what's going on with Pickles?
You can see she is looking absolutely incredible.
Ooh, she took a little shot there.
It's okay Pickles, you're all right.
Today is actually a feed day.
I don't know if Pickles is gonna eat,
but I know a lot of other things are gonna eat here.
And then later on my buddy, Greg the Pond Guy,
and Paul Cuffaro, you guys probably know them,
are coming in for a visit.
Not only to visit The Reptarium, but also BHB.
So it's gonna be an absolutely epic day.
What do you say we go ahead and get started,
and feed some reptiles?
First up, and the very first time
that we're actually feeding
the white-lipped D'Albertis python here at the zoo.
Not sure exactly how it's gonna eat,
so we're just gonna go ahead and see what happens here.
Come on bud.
Oh, geez.
That one ate pretty good.
Not problem with that one feeding at all.
Oh my God, what an amazing snake.
(chill music beats)
Moving on to another super iridescent animal, Night Fury.
Oh my God, I love this snake so much.
Here you go Night Fury, guess what?
Go ahead.
There you go.
Woo doggie.
What a gorgeous snake.
(chill music beats)
Of course Mr. Crackle, the black-headed python
is always pretty excited about eating.
Here you go, Crackle.
There you go, bud.
There you go, buddy.
(chill music beats)
Peaches, the hypo Honduran milk snake,
is such a gorgeous snake.
And I think that she's ready for a meal.
You ready, bud?
Yes.
There she goes.
(laughs) She was a little bit
of a weirdo today, but she took it no problem.
You guys know I'm not gonna have a feed day here
at The Reptarium and not feed Ben and Jerry,
because I love feeding Ben and Jerry.
Let's see if these two little monkeys wanna eat today.
You guys wanna eat, buds?
Oh, oh oh!
There it goes.
It's being a monster.
Oh look it.
Look it, look it, look it.
Jerry's got food.
Oh my God, they both have it.
Oh my God, Jerry dropped it.
That was that was absolutely crazy.
Jerry grabbed the food before Ben,
but then Jerry dropped it when Ben took it.
What the heck, that was crazy.
Right now, guys, this is really crazy.
Literally, Ben dropped the mouse.
Jerry's been kinda chewing at it.
Ben has been trying to chew at it.
I'm not exactly sure who's gonna end up eating this mouse,
if they're gonna eat it at all.
This is truly, I've never seen anything like it.
Oh, Ben just took it, and then he let it go.
It's crazy, I've never seen this.
This is so amazing.
So in the end, Ben ended up winning the battle,
and Ben actually is eating now.
Oh my God, that was one of the craziest things
I've ever seen.
That was so awesome.
(child music beats)
Verde the Green Anaconda,
definitely is gonna eat today.
But as you guys know, it eats live chicks.
And I don't ever show live feedings.
I will show her in the process of eating
but the first part I don't show for you guys.
So, we'll go ahead, take care of Verde,
and hopefully get a cool shot
of her at least eating.
And it certainly didn't take long,
Verde to go ahead and start feeding.
I always feel so bad.
I literally have to walk away.
I can't even watch it, but listen I love my girl, Verde.
She needs to eat, this is all she wants to eat right now.
So I'm gonna give her it until
she decides to switch over to frozen.
(chill music beats)
Let's see if the pastel python wants to eat.
I'm actually offering her a small rat for the first time.
She typically eats mice.
Let's see if she likes it.
(bird chirps)
Oh, yeah.
Bam.
(chill music beats)
You know feeding day over at The Reptarium is awesome.
Listen, I don't like feeding animals to animals.
I've said that a million times in my vlog,
but I do get really excited about the fact
that these animals are eating and thriving and doing well.
Not to mention, I do think it's really fascinating
to see snakes eat.
I mean, I've always been fascinated by it.
But again, the only down side is the fact
that they are feeding on other animals.
Like I said, everything else eats frozen,
with the exception of Verde,
they had to eat it live today.
But regardless, it's pretty awesome,
and Abasuku, definitely wishes it could get food.
But it's a little bit on a diet.
I've been feeding it a little bit,
mainly stuff like chicken,
so I have been trying to stay away from like,
the whole rodents, and stuff like that,
because there's so much fat in 'em.
So, Abasuku I'm sorry bud, you don't get any today.
But my girl Perdita, she certainly is gonna get some food.
And it looks like she's really ready.
Look at this.
Come on, girl.
It's okay sweetheart.
There you go.
That's a girl.
Way to go Perdita.
Oh my God, she is so gorgeous.
(chill music beats)
I always say that Sunfire
is one of the funnest snakes to feed,
because she's always way back in that back corner.
And you can see she's already comin' down.
You want some girl?
Come on, come on, you can smell it.
Come on girl, come on, come on, you can get it.
Come on, come on.
There it is, woo doggie.
She's just comin' out of sheddin',
she's still ferocious.
Oh my God, that's such a cool snake.
I hope you guys don't get bored of seeing us feed over here.
You know I never wanna to things so repetitively,
where it's like, oh I don't wanna watch that,
I've seen that a million times.
I always try to take little bit of a different take,
not to mention, I'm leaving in about 20, 30 minutes
to go to the airport to pick up Paul Cuffaro,
as well as my buddy, Greg the Pond Guy.
It's gonna be the first time they're at The Reptarium.
I'm super excited to show them around,
and have a good time.
And both of 'em have a really good social media outlet.
I think Paul's closing in on
a million subscribers now on YouTube.
So you guys know I always like to expose audiences
to other people's audiences.
So it's gonna be a great night.
But just a handful of more snakes to feed,
and I'm on the road.
Next up is my boy Casper.
And just as I thought, he is fast becoming
one of the most favorite snakes
here at The Reptarium.
People come in, they love handling him.
He is so amazing.
You wanna eat, buddy?
You wanna have some food?
Ow.
Yep, and that's how quick it happens, people.
(laughs) Oh my gosh, Casper got me.
Fortunately he got me just on the very tip of my finger.
That gives you an idea, just a lot of love lip like that.
And that's how hard they are.
I mean if woulda have railed me, oh my gosh.
But hey listen, he's gotta feed.
So let's go ahead and just feel him up.
Come on Casper, come on buddy.
Ah, there you go.
Good boy.
(laughs) No harm no foul.
That's just part of snake breedin', right there.
Casper didn't mean it, I promise you.
He is an absolutely amazing animal.
He just smelled that food,
and he just went for it, you know?
And that happens, so hey, snake bites are gonna happen.
It's all part of keepin' snakes, no big deal.
I'm gonna go wash myself up and move onto the next.
And literally when it comes to snake bites like that,
the snake didn't mean it, it's no big deal.
Snake bites always look way worse.
You bleed a lot more.
Everything, it's not that big of a deal.
Casper is a super tame animal, unbelievably passive.
You can take him out for hours.
He just smelled the rat, he went for the rat,
he missed the rat, got my finger.
No big deal at all.
With that being said, the last snake I'm gonna feed
before I go pick up Greg and Paul Cuffaro, is Sunrise.
Hey sweetheart.
And she is ready to eat.
Here you go, sweetie.
There you go.
Whoa, she ate that fast.
Oh God, she just came out of shed, and she was hungry.
Just wrapping up the feeding here,
gonna head out to the airport, pick Paul Cuffaro,
and my buddy Greg The Pond Guy up,
and come back and have some fun at The Reptarium.
- [Greg] It's just like Vegas here, in Detroit.
- [Brian] What's up, brother,
how are you? - What's up Brian?
- [Brian] What's up bro, man what's going on dude?
How are you guys?
- [Paul] It's good to see you man.
- We're hungry- - It's freezing.
- We're ready to go eat. - Let's go eat, let's go eat.
- We're here, finally. - All right, let's go-
- And there's Bowser right here.
- [Brian] Paul, what's up brother?
- Dude, this is so sick.
- [Brian] I know, welcome to my world-
- It's warm in here.
- I know it's- - He's always sleeping.
- Always summer in here.
Yeah, that's right.
For those of you guys that don't remember,
Greg actually got me Bowser here.
So this is, you're the one that-
- Yeah. - Hooked up the system.
- Emptied it all and I like it.
We built that pond in one day
but I like this one even better.
- It works out well, it's really good.
But I can't wait to show you guys--
Again anything you guys wanna see, we're gonna do.
Gonna be a really dope video on Paul's channel.
I'm gonna put a link in the description.
I told him he can do anything he wants to do here.
Of course, I will put Greg's link in the description too.
He's definitely one of my mentors,
so definitely show both of them a whole bunch of love.
But for now, let's have some fun.
You guys gotta meet my girl, Bella.
You can literally-
- I can just?
- [Brian] Please, you'll trip-at how much she loves people.
- [Paul] What the heck?
Hello.
- [Greg] This is the same one that's next door.
- [Brian] Yep.
- Yeah, I remember her, I met her many times.
- [Brian] Exactly.
- Hey, Bella. - Isn't it amazing?
- [Greg] But look at this enclosure,
which is top rate, man-
- Dude, I love how they have so much room, it's so natural.
♪ Movin' on up ♪
- [Brian] Thanks so much, I appreciate that.
♪ To the top ♪
- It's so natural, like I would live in there.
(chuckling)
- Brian, I'll catch you later.
- The thing that's nice about this is you don't know
where you're, it feels so much bigger
because you can't see around.
- [Brian] Yeah, exactly.
- That's what I love about it.
What is the most popular attraction
that you wouldn't have thought of,
for people wanting to touch them
and be with them and stuff?
- It's a great question.
I think that the frilled dragon may be the most impressive
as far as not expecting it.
- Yep.
- You know, but certainly the most popular probably--
But when it comes snakes I think the most
popular snake that everyone asks for
is this girl, right here.
This of course is my girl Perdita,
who is a cow reticulated python.
- [Greg] Why is she called a cow?
I have no idea.
- [Brian] Yeah, you have no idea why.
- [Greg] Ate cheese curds for the first time.
- [Brian] So that is my girl Perdita.
- Aw. - I wondered why
that name would be cow.
(laughs) - I know right, it's so weird.
- This is where the cheese curds came from.
(laughs) - That thing is so cool, man.
- But people love her, but it's like I said,
definitely the frilled dragon is kind
of the one that surprised me.
People love that animal, and I just didn't really see
that coming, to be honest with you.
- Yeah.
- [Brian] But there's a bunch of stuff,
like Helen the no-eyed albino ball python's
really, extremely popular.
Tazz, my tagu is really popular-
- I love those.
- [Brian] Yeah you're gonna get a chance to see him.
Plus I've got some food if you wanna feed him.
- Yeah, for sure.
- All right cool, so definitely over on Paul's channel
we're gonna let him feed a few things.
I've got some rats for Elvis,
we'll let him feed Elvis, if he wants.
We'll just have a good
time over there- - What the heck is this thing?
- Look at this tank, dude.
- [Brian] I know I love that-
- The water fallin' down, dude this place is unreal.
- [Brian] Thank you so much, dude.
I appreciate, we love it.
Oh, yeah you said you wanted to see this one.
- [Paul] Yes, the two-headed-
- [Brian] Let me pull this one out for ya.
- This thing is so clean looking.
- [Brian] It's perfect.
- If you were to cover right here,
you would have never even known it was a two-headed snake.
- [Brian] Yeah exactly, that's what I think.
And that's why, I think, that Ben and Jerry
have a good chance of living a long, long life.
It's just how amazing they are.
And they're eating like crazy.
They're doin' super well, so it's awesome.
I'm glad you got a chance to meet 'em.
- What's up, Ben and Jerry?
So, which one's Ben and which one's Jerry?
- Ben is this side, Jerry's that side.
And Ben eats, Jerry doesn't.
Although today, Jerry almost ate for the very first time,
which is really weird, so I don't know.
You see the smiley face on the back?
- [Paul] He's gonna eat next video, watch.
Jerry.
I'm telling you right now.
(laughs) - He's caught right in there.
- Guys, we're gonna have a good time.
Still a lot to do here tonight.
But again, I'm gonna go ahead
and let Paul do all the filming.
I'm sure Greg will have some stuff too.
Greg you seem to be bonding pretty well with Perdita.
- Well I am, I don't know if my President will.
Of course I was coming here to get inspired
for my own aqua land zoo, and I don't know.
It's pretty inspirational, I can tell you that much.
- That's awesome.
You guys have seen aqua skate before in my vlogs.
There's that back room where he has,
actually Dwight Howard's old tank, right?
- Yeah, Dwight Howard and I've got
an asian water monitor in there.
- Aw, that's awesome, yes.
So that's the era that he's gonna do
a little reptile zoo thing.
I'm definitely gonna help him
on whatever we possible can,
because I know that Greg doesn't do anything halfway.
So, it's gonna be absolutely incredible.
But as for now, I am gonna go ahead and end the vlog,
and wish you guys an absolutely amazing day,
evening, whenever you happen to be watching.
As always, your support means the world to me,
and I truly do love you so much.
Can you do me a couple favors before we get out of here?
Can you smash that like button?
Turn those post notifications on.
Make sure that you leave a comment down below,
so I can read about your beautiful faces.

and I promise I will see you guys tomorrow.
