- Hey good morning everybody and welcome to the vlog.
I am freaking out, right now I've amassed everyone,
'cause what I found this morning,
I just don't even understand, I'm blown away by this,
and you guys are gonna, come, follow me, come on, come on.
I can't wait to show you guys this.
Oh let me grab some keys real quick.
All right, everyone, do you guys have any guesses?
- Not a clue.
- No clue?
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, this is crazy, guys.
- Is it the Blackbeard, no?
- (singing fanfare) you better start filming.
- [Camera Man] I am, I am.
- [Brian] What do we have back here?
- [Camera Man] Is there eggs?
- [Brian] What do we have back there, Tiana?
Tiana, come on girl.
I think she's probably gonna be mad.
Can I grab a stool, can you grab me a stool real quick?
- [Camera Man] No way, dude.
- What?
Has she been paired with a male?
- No, this is the thing,
she has not been paired with a male,
so there's definitely an infertile egg over here,
but I see a couple eggs that look really white.
Could it be parthenogenetic, I don't know.
Jesus.
So I'm, Lori, you gotta get me a stool.
All right, so first things first,
I think she's gonna try to protect these eggs.
So I'm gonna do the best I can do to get her out of here
without her getting upset at me,
and then I'm gonna see what she's got going on.
I'm sorry big girl.
I thought she looked a little thin recently.
And yeah, I think they are slugs, unfortunately.
I didn't know if maybe the fact, I mean,
look at, that egg almost looks like that might be okay.
I'm not sure, I'm gonna candle these guys,
'cause again, you know, she's never been in with a male,
so she's not gonna lay fertile eggs
unless there's parthenogenesis, which could be possible.
So I'm just kinda going back here,
'cause there's another egg here, there's another egg here.
It looks like four eggs, two are definitely slugs,
two have potential, I'm not sure.
I'm just gonna see if there's any other eggs back here.
But how crazy is that?
Isn't that wild?
- That is so crazy.
- [Camera Man] So crazy man, so wild.
- Those are big eggs.
- I know, right?
And so again, I don't know if this is gonna be good or not,
it's possible, I'll candle 'em and see.
Regardless, it was just a wild thing
I had to share with you guys.
- Crazy.
- [Brian] 'Cause I didn't expect,
I thought she looked really fat before.
- Yeah she did look really chunky.
- Yeah, but I thought that maybe she was just eating a lot.
I noticed over the last couple of days
she looked a little bit thin, and I was like oh,
- We were literally talking about that yesterday.
- Yeah, we were talking about it yesterday.
- Yeah yeah, we were saying like,
I wonder if she like, got more comfortable,
so she's not bulking up as much.
- Yeah, it was like, man, she needs to get some more food,
and then today I come in and I see
these little white things, so I'm like, oh.
So hey there it is, crazy.
I'm gonna candle these and hopefully
there was parthenogenesis, and she laid fertile eggs.
If not, it was still an awesome thing,
and now we gotta find a male.
I'm in the birthday party room 'cause I can
turn the lights out here and we can candle 'em.
Again, I mean, I'm not very hopeful that
there's fertile eggs here,
but I still, it was exhilarating, you know?
It was exhilarating to think about it.
So I'm gonna turn the lights out
and we'll go ahead, candle these,
and see if there's anything inside.
All right, let's just go ahead and look.
Yeah, I don't see any network of veins,
I don't see anything that would tell me,
no, these are slugs, at least that one's a slug.
And I'm sure this one's a slug too.
That's all right though, it was still awesome.
So all in all, didn't get fertile eggs,
but it was still exhilarating, wasn't it?
I mean just to think like, wow,
and now we know that she's a producer,
so we can find a male and pair him up with her,
and that would be amazing to produce
some little baby Lewisi hybrids,
oh my gosh, that was cool, so hey,
I hope the start of your day is amazing,
it was a great start of my day, I hope you enjoy it.
Let's push our problems aside and let's
have a great day together.
(jazzy bass music)
Checking for eggs today with the ball pythons,
and look at this beautiful chocolate pinstripe,
look at that ovulation right there.
For anyone that's interested,
see how it looks like she can't even bend,
it's like she's a banana?
That's that big ovulation, I mean, wow.
That girl is gonna explode pretty soon.
But actually in the next day or two
she'll actually go down a little bit,
and then build towards the actual lay
which is 50 days from ovulation, approximately.
Speaking of laying, I wanna check that girl that I'm
super excited about, of course this is that pastel female,
it's bred to that pastel lesser B bongo animal,
so unfortunately she didn't lay yet today.
She should be laying any day.
That is gonna be a banger of a clutch.
So let's just look through the rest
and see if there's any other eggs.
(techno music)
Still no eggs, but look at this, another huge ovulation.
This is actually an albino cini hep pied
bred to an albino pied, so whoo doggie,
I tell you what, but that,
that's a classic case of a monster ovulation.
Well no ball python eggs today,
but it was still cool to see some big ovulations,
and I'm still on watch for that one female.
There's so many I'm excited about,
but that girl's gonna lay any day.
(techno music)
Guess what, guys?
My girl Ivy shed out perfectly.
Unfortunately, this time I didn't actually catch her
in the act of shedding,
so I don't know if she was shedding in the water or not,
I didn't catch it, but I do see that she did the same thing
where she climbed out onto land to actually
climb out of her shed.
And you can kinda see what's going on in here right now.
This is a beautiful, perfect shed,
all the way over here, I'm gonna try to get it out
without ripping it at all,
'cause again, she has just been shedding beautifully.
I mean, take a look at that shed.
And she's looking great in the water,
like aways, she shed out on land,
then climbed right back into the water.
Let's take this out and take a closer look at it.
And again, I mean, what a perfect shed right here, wow.
I guess staying in the water all the time
keeps it pretty easy and moisturized for sure,
but again, another beautiful shed.
As a matter of fact I almost wonder,
let's go ahead and get the last shed
and do the same thing where we kinda line 'em up
and see if there's a difference.
The last shed was actually like six inches larger
than the shed before, I wonder if this one will be too.
So again, this is far from scientific,
this is the last shed, this is this shed,
and you can see again, it's wrinkled,
there's all kinds of stuff, but certainly,
this shed appears to be a good four or five,
six inches longer, again, not scientific,
because obviously there's so many factors involved in that,
but definitely we know that snakes shed when they grow,
and we know Ivy's been growing,
and she's got another beautiful shed.
Pretty exciting and event filled day I would say, for sure.
We got a package from our friends
over at Underground Reptiles,
and I'm excited to show you what it is.
We actually have tomorrow another package coming from them
that is really exciting as well.
So let's just go ahead and open this up,
see what's going on.
Of course it's got the little thanks B,
which is really nice.
Got a little personalized message on the bag too,
which is nice, so that is awesome.
Let's go ahead and open this up,
and I'll explain why we got this animal
once I actually get this open.
(classical music)
And I'm over the top excited about it
because I love these guys!
Oh my gosh, oh, it's cute too.
Let's see, let's get this thing out.
Oh, it's a little bit dirty,
it pooped in the bag a little bit, but that's okay.
Let's go ahead, get this out and I'll explain
what the deal with this animal is.
And of course we have, oh this is an interesting one.
Wow, so of course we have a female caiman lizard, right?
So the fact that we got two caiman lizards before
but they were both males,
so they were gonna fight and stuff like that.
So we wanted to make sure we had a male and a female.
We obviously have Mango, the one that lost its tail,
so I wanted to get another female,
but I also wanted to get one that had a perfect tail, right?
And it's interesting 'cause this one doesn't have
the orange head, it's got the green head on it,
which I find really unusual.
I wasn't expecting that,
and what's interesting is it's not much bigger than Mango,
maybe just slightly bigger,
but it seems like it has such a long tail,
even before Mango's tail fell off.
So regardless, we wanted to get a pair of them,
and work with them, so my friends down at Underground
had this amazing animal, sent it down to us,
so we'll go ahead, put this in with Mango,
get these guys kinda socialized and habituated
to one another, but I'm excited, man,
another caiman lizard, and again,
now we have one with a good tail.
But Mango's tail's gonna grow back.
It won't look just quite the same, unfortunately.
So let's go ahead and put this one in with Mango.
And you can see Mango over here just chilling out
on this side, so I'm gonna put this one all the way
on this side, just so they can get used to on another.
I don't wanna put them right together.
But the fact that they're male and female and relatively
the same size, I think they'll be completely fine.
This is a little chunker too, she looks amazing,
so Mango's over there just chilling out,
saying "Hey, what's up?" so we'll see how it goes though.
There it is, now I finally have a pair of caiman lizards.
Like I mentioned before,
these guys'll stay in this habitat for maybe,
you know, maybe a year or so,
so right about the time we need to move Salt and Pepper
up into a larger enclosure,
I think these guys can go in Salt and Pepper's enclosure,
which I think'll be amazing.
But I'm so happy now that we have
a female that has a full tail.
Got a couple of colubrid clutches today,
this is actually a black motley corn snake,
I absolutely love black motleys,
out of the motleys, I would say black motleys
and ghost motleys are my favorite, and that's why,
'cause that is just one ripper of a snake right there.
Take a look at that, oh my gosh.
And what a beautiful clutch of eggs too.
Come on, mom, you did so amazing.
That's like the perfect clutch right there.
Perfect size clutch, perfect size eggs,
I'm gonna go ahead just kinda
remove these eggs really quick,
just so that she's not rolling them all around,
and then we'll get this girl back in.
Come on, momma, I know.
Come on mom, we'll get you back in here.
Get her cleaned up, get her some water.
And actually the male she was bred to is right here.
Really beautiful actually, ghost corn snake,
which is a hypo and an anerythristic,
so really pretty snake.
So the whole clutch should certainly be anerythristic,
there could be some motleys,
there could be some ghosts,
depending on the heterozygous in there.
So I'm just gonna nestle these eggs down here,
I'll probably candle this egg really quick,
just to make sure the embryo's there.
And we've got, let's see, two, four, six,
eight, 10, 12, 14, 15 perfectly good eggs.
Oh that's a good way to start the colubrid egg day.
Lori came to me and asked me what I ordered from Kohl's,
of course, I didn't order anything from Kohl's,
so I'm not sure if Kohl's sent us something
or someone else sent us something.
- Pretty sure Kohl's didn't.
- [Brian] You never know, you know?
Or maybe it's something completely different.
Maybe it's just a Kohl's box, I have no idea.
- No, it says shipped direct from Kohl's.
- From Kohl's, so let's see what it is.
I hope it's something fun.
- Did you order something for me?
- [Brian] I didn't order, yeah I did,
this was a gift for you, I bought this for you.
What is it?
- I don't know yet.
- [Brian] It's a mug, oh boy.
- I didn't order this.
- I like it already.
- (laughs) oh geez.
- Soon-ish, that is amazing.
That's cool.
- Is there a note?
- I don't know if there's a note,
I don't know who sent this,
but thank you for this absolutely amazing sloth mug.
I could drink my tea in this, this is absolutely incredible.
- That's ridiculous.
- Always surprising me, there's never enough sloth stuff
in my life, so thank you.
- Yeah, thanks.
- Super excited, Jessica, what do we have again?
- Some Deadpool eggs.
- Oh my God, Deadpool, let's go ahead and take a look.
We had Deadpool, oh gosh!
- [Jessica] So her name was originally Vanessa,
but I've just been calling her Lady Deadpool now.
- Lady Deadpool, that is one incredible animal right there,
and of course we have the ones that were laid, what,
about a month and a half ago or something like that?
They're still looking good?
- Yeah, three 27, so.
- [Brian] Oh three 27, so okay,
- We got a couple months left.
- Okay, oh gosh, I can't wait, I can't wait.
Well let's see, hopefully she has some other good eggs.
So let's go ahead and take a quick look
and see if she's got two more eggs.
I cannot get over how gorgeous this,
of course this is from Tiki's Geckos,
our good friends down there, amazing,
amazing geckos they have,
they have a bunch of cool lizards
to be totally honest with you,
but let's go ahead and see if we've got some,
where are they at?
- [Jessica] Maybe this side.
- [Brian] Maybe this side?
- [Jessica] She had both sides kinda dug up, there they are.
- [Brian] Oh there they are.
- [Jessica] That one looks good.
- That one looks good?
One good egg, and they both look good?
Oh my gosh, that is so incredible.
So again guys, we're not too far away
from hatching some Deadpool animals,
and then we've got a couple more eggs in.
This is the gecko that I was the most excited about
through all our geckos this year,
so that is super good, so great job Jessica, way to go.
And then the other clutch that we had today
is actually a Mexican black king snake,
so it looks like momma's already out of the box,
so I know that she's completely done.
And look at how beautiful is,
she's not a big girl at all,
this is definitely a smaller Mexican black king snake,
but still absolutely gorgeous.
You guys know that I love the Mexican black king snakes,
let's see what she has, oh my gosh,
those are nice, beautiful eggs.
I mean, for that small of a girl,
that's a lot of eggs and long eggs too, you know?
That's the thing that's sometimes funny is I think like,
how does that clutch of eggs fit
into that female right there?
I mean, I have no idea.
Let's go ahead and see how many eggs she has.
Looks like there's five of them here.
Just two right there, and these two right here,
I'll probably candle these just to make sure,
because they're a little bit loose,
but nevertheless, good.
Should take about 60 days for these guys to hatch,
so that wraps up colubrid eggs for the day.
(techno music)
Well that was a pretty eventful day,
there's no doubt about it, I mean, wow.
