- Two, four, five slugs and three good eggs.
Look it how cute sticking his tongue out like that
what a cute little dude.
He likes to pop 'em too.
Doesn't it feel great and empowered to get over that fear?
Hey good morning everybody and welcome to the vlog.
We're gonna start the day down in the dungeon,
and look for some ball python eggs and the truth be told,
I've already looked and we have three clutches today.
This first one is actually an enchi woma ball python.
She is a beauty, she was bred to a super enchi pin,
and oh, that's a bad clutch right there.
That is not the way you want to start the day off.
But that's okay that is part of the breeding season.
You guys know that I take you guys on the good, the bad,
and the ugly.
This is pretty ugly here.
These are all slug eggs.
Oh, that is not good at all.
Look at the amount of slugs there compared to good eggs.
Looks like three beautiful eggs here.
Last year this girl laid a beautiful clutch
practically the exact same amount
and we had found some ridiculously beautiful babies.
But, hey listen, you can't win 'em all.
That's part of the whole thing when you're breeding snakes.
So we got two, four, six bad eggs.
Three good eggs right here.
And the fact that it's a super enchi pin means that
all of the babies are going to be enchi
but that fact that she's a woma enchi,
means that a good amount of them
are going to be super enchis and then again you can get
super enchi pin womas, super enchi pins, super enchi womas,
super enchi pin womas.
So, hey listen, we got three eggs
that's all right hopefully the odds will be in her favor.
And hopefully these next two clutches
will be much better in fertility.
All right let's hope this next clutch is a little better.
Oh yeah, it looks better already
and look at how beautiful that girl is right there.
She's actually a pinstripe extreme gene
and this was bred to a banana extreme gene.
So that's that really reduction of pattern right there,
what a beautiful snake.
Come on mama, I know you did so good.
Oh my gosh, yeah, that's a lot more like it.
Probably take this one little egg off here
'cause it doesn't look like it's that in here
and then the rest of this clutch should be able
to come off right like this.
Here we go, absolutely way better.
Good job mama, you did so good honey.
Oh my god, that is awesome, again I'm gonna have to take
a couple of these eggs off really quick
'cause they won't fit in the egg box.
What do we got two, four, six, eight good eggs
from this clutch that's amazing
and that extreme gene stuff is really cool
'cause it just reduces and cleans pattern up.
The fact that we have a banana extreme gene
and a pinstripe extreme gene
means they'll all be extreme genes
but there'll be bananas and pinstripes
and combinations there of.
Oh and by the way, a lot of people ask me
what I do with my slugs.
I'll probably take them over and feed them off to Elvis
later on today.
And finally we have this beautiful mama here.
She's actually a het fur caramel
and she's bred to a spider het fur caramel.
And she is feisty right now,
she's like I'm not giving those eggs up.
Oh no, some more slugs in this clutch here.
Oh my goodness, I don't know what the deal is
'cause our fertility has been so good this year.
But let's go ahead and get this whole clutch
out of here really quick.
We'll just set it down here we'll kind of take
a little bit better look.
Wow, that is crazy,
it's crazy that we've had some infertiles today.
Let's go ahead and see again,
it looks like we've got three fertile eggs.
This one looks really good here, we'll put that one in here.
And then these two look good and all these other eggs
look like junk little sluggers for sure.
Let's see what we got, get this one in here.
This one in here, there we go get that one in here.
Two, four, five slugs and three good eggs.
Oh my god, what a weird way to start the day, right?
Normally we've had such great fertility this year
but again that is part of it,
I've told you guys all the time
if you think when you breed snakes
that every clutch is perfect no slugs, no issues,
no egg binding,
that's just not the reality of it.
I've been doing this for like three decades
and I've seen it all, so hey, you can't get too high
when you have an amazing clutch
and you can't get too low when you have a bad clutch.
And these clutches aren't horrible.
Hey, I've had a lot of hundred percent infertile clutches
that I was really anticipating.
So hey, getting three fertile eggs is good enough, right?
And I actually checked on the skinks this morning
and sure enough, I don't have any baby skinks today either.
But I did want to update you guys on a couple of the ones
that were born a couple weeks ago.
Look at this thing right here.
This is one of those ones that was from the coffee bred
to the redline.
Oh my gosh and this is only, like what?
Two and a half, three weeks old or something like that?
It has literally like doubled in size.
That's the crazy thing about blue tongue skinks
is literally, they just explode in size.
I cannot believe how big that little monkey is.
Look at him sticking his tongue out like that
what a cute little dude!
This thing is going to be ridiculous.
I went a handful of other skinks.
These things are crazy.
This one's really interesting
because this again is a Northern blue-tongued skink
but it almost looks more like an Indonesian
with the way it's pattern is more barred.
I remember when this one was born
and I was like wow, that's an interesting pattern
on that thing.
And now that it's gotten some size on it,
woo doggy, that thing is looking beautiful!
Man, look at the oranges that are starting to come through
with this red line right here.
When this thing gets a little size on it,
Man, is it going to be unbelievable.
And everyone in this litter which is our second litter
is just looking this incredibly orange.
I told, I love little babies
and again it's like I was saying,
it's insane how this animal has probably doubled in size
just in a couple weeks.
Then at last what I'm gonna show you
'cause literally, I could be here all day
just looking at little baby blue tongue skinks,
is the caramel to caramel or a hypo to hypo,
again you can look at how muted this animal looks.
As it gets size it's gonna get even better
because usually they look relatively normal
and then as they get older they really start to fade out.
This ones already faded all the way at this young age.
I tell you we have a lot more blue tongue skinks on the way.
I couldn't be more happy,
with the way this year has been going.
Kids are just showing up for the birthday party
again we have a birthday party here at The Reptarium
and then I actually have to have traveled
to a due-to-you birthday party
before we open up for The Reptarium later on tonight.
And this age group is usually really fun to do parties for.
(upbeat music)
The alligator that's right, her name is Hildie.
- [Boy] Hi Hildie, it's me--
- All right just wrapping up the birthday party
on the road to the next birthday party.
We're definitely starting summer now
because this is our first outdoor party of the year.
I'm excited about it.
Get a chance to enjoy this beautiful day
because it's been raining for the last month,
so, let's have a good time.
Named him Potato because he kind of looks like a potato,
he acts like a potato.
All right buddy,
completely fine right here for you, all right?
- [Boy] Oh!
- Wrapping up the birthday party here.
I could get spoiled like this doing it outside
a beautiful day but got to head back to The Reptarium,
get ready to open up and have a good night over there.
Back to the shop over at BHB
going to head over to The Reptarium,
get our last things together
before we open up at The Reptarium.
Elvis always seems to be the most responsive
to infertile eggs.
So I would go ahead show him the ball here,
get him to realize that it's food
Come on buddy, come on out, there we go buddy.
There we go, there we go.
Come on out, all the way out,
all the way out, all the way out
Okay, I'm gonna hide this ball.
Get a slugger for him.
There you go bud.
Oh, he likes to pop them too.
He always makes such a mess.
Oh my God.
Elvis you're such a messy eater.
Oh, there you go, he's making quick work
of these eggs today for sure.
Couple more buddy.
What a trip, huh?
Oh my god, he's just gobbling them down.
Last one buddy.
There you go.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
What are you gonna do?
He likes to pop them 'cause I think he likes that albumen.
Oh my gosh, he'll probably actually try to lick up
some of that albumen that he spewed out there
but what an amazing animal,
and again, we would like to put those slug eggs to use
to be honest with you.
No sense in just throwing them away.
So if Elvis gets a good nutritional meal out of it, why not?
And he's looking around like what's up?
Do you have any more for me?
I love this animal.
I've always said that having Elvis is one of the most,
kind of, amazing things I do because he's so smart
and he's so intelligent with everything.
So, it's really amazing to have this little monkey for sure.
And people love him.
He's so docile, and again, right after he eats like this
I can just go and I can pet him like nothing
and that is an amazingly intelligent
and beautiful little pet dinosaur.
I haven't really spoken about our rainbow boas lately.
Look at this leucistic from last year
that was born, absolutely stunning.
The thing I love about this little monkey
is it has like yellow patterning on it a little bit,
which means it'll look a little bit like almost iridescent.
Regardless we're having a really good rainbow year,
our leucistic male, bred a bunch of head females,
so we should have a bunch more of these
white little beauties.
And remember last year we had these black eyes like this
but we also had blue eyes in the same litter,
so, that was really cool.
We're also having a really good Colombian rainbow
and other Colombian rainbow boas too.
So, in about a month or month and a half
we should have a bunch of litters
of these two little monkeys.
Since it's a little slow day over with eggs at BHB
it's given me a chance to spend a little more time
in between events and everything like that
over at The Reptarium.
And this guy just shed out.
Of course this is Night Fury, and oh my God,
just look at the shimmering of that animal right there.
I tell you this thing just gets better and better
and the fact that he's just fresh shed,
I had to share with you guys.
I can't believe how big he's getting too.
I mean, he's just crushing food and growing like crazy.
That's probably why he sheds so much.
I know I keep always saying this
but I can't wait until this guy gets 12 or 15 foot
'cause he is just stunning.
Take a look at that thing right there.
Oh my God, it is on fire of course this is a jungle Jack.
Just look at that head pattern and the color on that one.
And right here is actually a normal jungle carpet python.
One of it's siblings.
Oh my gosh!
Now that's what you really look for
in a jungle carpet python.
Just that really bright yellow with no black tipping in it,
and the solid jet black,
it doesn't get much better than that.
Definitely those two are raising up
and will great breeders in the future.
Oh, and take a look guys,
another little baby Chinese cape gecko hatched.
This is egg number five that hatched
because you can see it's out of there.
Funny that Jessica has them all numbered,
the other eggs I think are in another container.
Regardless, another little baby, welcome to the world buddy.
We actually only have this one clutch here
which is actually a het creamsicle scale corn.
Back to a het scale creamsicle corn
Let's go ahead and see what she's got going on right now.
Oh my goodness!
That is a big clutch of eggs right there.
Doggy, look at that, mama you did so good.
I mean typically because of the creamsicle
being part emery rat snake
and actually the original scale his corn's were part emery.
Usually the creamsicle stuff has a small amount of eggs.
Normally not more than 10 eggs.
But this clutch is absolutely huge.
This is definitely the largest clutch
of creamsicle scale and stuff
that I have ever produced for sure.
There is two, four, six, eight, 10, 12,
14, 16, 17 eggs.
(laughs) 17 eggs.
We may have only had one clutch of gloovers today
but holy cow is it a banger?
Regardless, I'm going to back over to The Reptarium
and get ready to open up tonight and have a great time.
Unlike yesterday that was stormy and super busy,
today is beautiful day outside as you guys saw at the party,
so, I don't know how the day's gonna go,
but we're gonna have a good time.
You guys ready?
- Ready.
- Go! - Ready.
(laughs)
- All right we're going to go. - Let's go.
- [Brian] Hey guys.
- Hey, how are you. - How are you.
- [Guest] How are you?
- Hi, welcome. - Thank you.
- [Brian] Hi guys, hi guys, how are you?
Hi, how are you and welcome.
- [Woman] Hi.
- [Brian] How are you and welcome guys.
How are you bud?
How are you?
(upbeat music)
You guys know that I live for these moments.
I love getting people that are a little bit
tentative or fearful of snakes
and get them over their fears.
You came in earlier today,
been here for a couple hours
and you were terrified. - Yes.
- Number one, you've touched some snakes,
you're doing so good.
And we never push anyone to do anything
they don't want to do.
The thing that I was amazed is when I came back
to check on you, you said that,
she was intrigued by Snazz, of all snakes.
Not a small snake not a little snake,
but Snazz of all snakes
and she said she wants to give it a go.
So, are you sure you're ready?
- Again, we don't wanna push you.
- I am ready.
- [Brian] Okay let's do it.
And I'll be right here,
I'm right here with you.
You are completely fine if anything happens
I'm right here with you, just breathe you're fine.
What do you think?
- Oh my goodness.
- If you want to, you can reach out under here,
hold the head and you don't have to worry about it.
- Are you doing all right?
Oh my gosh, I am so proud of you for doing this.
You should be so proud of yourself, I mean how amazing.
And whenever you're ready we'll take it off
but you can spend as much time as you want.
Doesn't it feel great and empowering to get over that fear?
- Yes.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh, I wanna help you
but you have a good snake--
- I have nightmares all the time because of snakes.
(upbeat music)
- Absolutely incredibly nice night here.
Slowing down a little bit getting to the end of the night
but having a good time.
A big bunch of really cool families came in.
I don't wanna bore you with the same old stuff
but yes, we are having a great time.
(upbeat music)
Karim is done for the night, absolutely incredible night
as you guys know, I love this place.
I hope one day you guys can come visit me too
and we can have fun together.
You guys have an amazing day.
I love you so much be kind to someone
and I promise I will see you tomorrow.
(upbeat music)
