(chill electronic music)
Hey, good morning everybody.
And, welcome to the vlog.
We have an absolutely incredible day today.
We are starting it off back at the kangaroo place
of my buddy Jeff, where we're picking up
a little wallaby that's gonna be
joining us the rest of the trip.
Then we're off to my buddy Robby Keszey's
to play with a bunch of deadly animals.
And, then off to Sarasota to do
some cool animal stuff with the Bramfam.
It's gonna be an amazing day.
Let's go ahead and just push our problems aside
for the next 12, 15 minutes, however long this vlog is,
and have a great day together.
Let's get it going.
And, we made it to Robbie Keszey,
my buddy from Get Swamped, down here in Bushnell, Florida.
I am so excited to spend a little time with him today.
It's amazing.
And, look at this little cute monkey here.
Of course, this is a Nile crocodile.
We're gonna see some bigger ones pretty soon.
We're gonna see some venomous snakes.
All kinds of stuff.
It's gonna be an absolutely great way
to get this day started.
Just in case you didn't know already
that my man here Forest got himself a little pet.
And, you wanna do the honors
of talking to Robbie, of course.
- So, Robbie is obviously one of my first mentors
in the reptile business.
He's like a big brother to me.
And, this is a swamp wallaby.
Swamp brothers, so we named this little guy Robbie.
- Awesome.
- Yeah, so.
So, hopefully with any luck,
his behavior is not like Robbie.
- It will be.
- I'm done for.
- You're doomed little buddy.
- Is in one of the alligator and croc enclosures.
Got a broadsnouted caiman, a bunch of other stuff.
It's pretty awesome.
I mean this is, it's cool as heck.
Look at how beautiful that is.
It's got some very, very, very crazy eyes man.
- Look at that eye.
Look it the eyes on that, that is ridiculous.
So, we have our first injury of the day.
What the heck happened dude?
- So, you know, these pens were designed
way back in the day, and everybody has a story
of either slipping, getting bit by something,
smashing their face on the side.
So, Steven was getting in there,
I wanted him to go and hold a broadsnout,
and he slipped right when he got in there,
and the camera came back
and just punched me right in the face, so.
- Oh my gosh, dude. - Yeah.
- Go get yourself fixed up.
You're leaking man.
- Yeah, I'm leaking.
- [Brian] Oh my God.
- [Noah] Whoa.
Holy sh...
(gurgling)
- [Man] There you go.
- So, here we are holding one of my dream species.
This is definitely one of those things
that keeps me up at night.
This is a freshwater crocodile.
And, there are absolutely none of these
in the private sector, very few in zoos.
What makes this one even more special
is that it's suspected that this is one
of the pygmy form of the freshwater crocodiles.
So, Adam Britton is still doing DNA work
to try to figure out if they are a distinct species.
But, either way, it's a locality form
that is much, much smaller
than the normal freshwater crocodiles.
So, to be able to hold one of these,
this is absolutely amazing.
Came down here with a goal, no matter what,
to try to get this thing from Robbie.
(laughing)
No luck huh?
- No luck.
- No luck, literally offered him my life basically
to try to get this animal
because these kinda things to me are so special.
You know, trying to get this established in captivity.
- They are the coolest.
- This is a pygmy freshwater crocodile.
One of the rarest crocodiles in the world.
- About to check out some venomous snakes.
But, Noah is taking care of little Robbie here.
- Yeah, I know, poor buddy.
He just woke up, we're going into the snake place.
- [Brian] 'Kay, we're gonna keep him safe,
don't worry Robbie, you're gonna be okay sweetheart.
- Oh my God.
We can't get him close to the--
- Are you gonna be able to do
the 24 hour challenge with Robbie?
- I don't know.
Maybe.
- Let me know in the comments if you guys
wanna see Noah spend an entire 24 hours with Robbie.
Everything he has to do,
he has to take Robbie along with him.
So, let me know.
- Comment down below,
let us know if you would be interested.
- If you're into it, we'll do it.
Lori would be so jealous right now.
Got some great dane pups.
Oh my gosh, you guys are something else.
Holy moly.
You're so cute.
Oh my God.
Yes I know, I know.
Oh my gosh.
Look at how beautiful this is.
Oh my gosh, you are so gorgeous.
Robbie has some amazing crocodilians.
He's got Cubans right over here
on the other side of this fence,
which you don't really wanna get in with
because they will definitely chase you down a little bit.
But, of course, this is a beautiful Nile croc
right here, look at that beauty.
Oh my gosh, that's absolutely incredible, huh?
Every time I'm in with crocodiles
I just absolutely love it.
I mean, these are true dinosaurs.
The continuation of five men and a wallaby
are going on, it's my turn to take care of Robbie.
We're actually in the Cuban crocodile pen.
You can see Lucy over here,
just sitting down way over there.
The problem is is that you never know where Ricky is.
He's in here somewhere, and these guys are so fast.
I honestly am gonna hang back now because--
- [Man] Go, go, go, go.
Go, go, go.
- Whoa!
Wow, there he is.
We found Ricky.
Okay that was a little manic guys.
That was a little manic.
Let's get her over here.
Careful Forest.
- [Man] Throw it right by her snout.
- [Brian] There you go.
- [Man] Dude, that was fast.
- Don't be scared.
- I'm not.
- Gimme your hand.
That, dude, you are touching a man-eating crocodile here.
- [Brian] Gil, what's happening man?
How you doing today?
- Oh good, I'm out living the dream.
- [Brian] Anything new?
Are you just hanging out?
- Just here, hanging around, you know.
- [Brian] Okay, cool man.
Well, it's good seeing you.
- Hanging out with my buddy T-Bone, right.
- [Brian] Good, all right, we'll see ya later man.
- All right, bye. - Bye.
- This thing is crazy.
- [Robbie] Dude, you could just sit down on
the big fat part of his tail.
(hissing)
- Woo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.
I think it's time to go.
- [Robbie] Okay, here's what I want ya to do.
- Okay, what Robbie?
- Just go like this.
- I don't trust you.
- Go like this, go like this.
- Ow.
- What the (horn blaring) is this.
That was crazy.
- You guys may remember Robbie, a good,
good friend of mine from forever ago,
had, a few months back, had a tragedy here at the farm.
Where someone basically broke in,
they burnt his place down over here.
This is a building that had about 43 crocodilians,
including Snowball, a very rare piebald alligator.
Unfortunately, all the animals perished besides Snowball,
who seems to have been stolen.
There hasn't been any real information.
You can see there's damage to this building here.
This is completely destroyed.
So many animals perished, it really affected Robbie.
Robbie loved his animals so much.
And, it was a horrible tragedy.
I launched a GoFundMe page about three or four months ago.
A lot of people donated a lot of funds.
And, we really appreciate it.
I'm gonna continue to put a link in the description
so that Robbie can get back on his feet.
You know, hopefully replace these barns, get some animals.
Nothing's gonna replace the animals he lost,
but hopefully we can continue to help him
kinda get back on his feet.
(hissing)
You guys know every time I come to Robbie's place
I've gotta get a little hands on with an elapid.
I mean, take a look at this beautiful Ethiopian cobra.
Robbie, you're like the master when it comes
to handling these guys, I mean,
I have never seen anyone more comfortable
with these types of animals, I mean.
Every time I'm around Robbie I kinda
pick up a little bit of a trick here and there
of what you're gonna do.
You can see this little monkey here
really wants to get ahold of this hook right here.
You kinda get the idea, I mean again,
Robbie's been doing it for so long
it's instinctual to him to just kinda
keep it going, and stuff like that.
But, this cheeky little monkey is something else, for sure.
- What's up baby?
- So, the difference between me that has, you know,
hey, I have a lot of elapid experience,
but Robbie is just so comfortable
because he's been working with these guys forever.
I mean, you know, since he was--
what was the first time you started handling a elapid.
- Elapid, 16 years old.
- 16 years old.
And, I don't wanna tell ya how old he is,
but let me just say there wasn't color TV
when he was a kid, but.
- A car, I used to use with my feet.
- Exactly, the Flintstones.
But, no, you can just tell.
I mean, Robbie is so comfortable,
he knows his animals so well.
And, again, it's great for me to get around
people like him that can really mentor me
when I'm dealing with stuff like this.
And, let me tell you what,
there's a big difference between some animals.
These Ethiopians are known for being
pretty sketchy, aren't they?
- Yeah, they're crazy.
They're actually one of the crazier of the cobras.
- Come on little guy.
Come on.
Look at that thing, it is so gorgeous though.
I tell you what.
They are such amazing.
But, this guy is so tempted.
I mean, if I got anywhere close
he'd be happy to just gnaw on ya.
And, like Robbie said, you know,
literally you saw with the hook.
I mean, as soon as it touches something
opens his mouth and grabs it.
Not all cobras are that way, that's for sure.
But, that's amazing Robbie.
I tell you what, I love visiting you dude.
- Love having you Brian.
Look at that, it bit itself.
- Oh my God.
Do me a favor and show this guy some love
over on Instagram, Get Swamped.
I'll put the link in the description.
One of my dear friends.
And, please, do me a favor,
if you so choose, go to the GoFundMe
that's in the description,
let's help Robbie get back on his feet.
We need more people like Robbie for sure
that are as passionate and just so into the animals.
Thanks Robbie.
- Thanks Brian.
- Whoa, bro.
Trying to kill me dude.
- Before we head outta here and head to go
meet up with the Bramfam,
we're gonna go in with the lemurs really quick.
Of course, these are ringtail lemurs,
which are prosimians from Madagascar.
So, they're so cute.
(squawking)
Hey bud, hey buds.
- You can do it either way, across your arm or.
They're pretty sweet, these.
Those, more to the dark.
- Here bud.
Hi baby, I don't have anymore.
These guys are absolutely so adorable.
I mean, take a look at that little dude.
What's up bud?
They're so fricking cute.
- They're so cute.
- So, the five men and a wallaby saga continues.
Guys in the back over here.
We are actually heading to the
Sarasota Jungle Gardens with John Lebron.
And, we're gonna meet up with the Bramfam.
Hopefully we're gonna see some cool stuff.
The sun is getting a little low in the sky.
So, we are hoping we are gonna get there before sunset.
We may not, we'll see what happens.
But, regardless, we're gonna see some amazing stuff.
So, we made it to Sarasota Jungle Gardens.
Hi. - Hey.
- Look what I've got.
Good to see you again.
- [Luis] Whoa, what is this?
- [Brian] This is named Robbie, he's a swamp wallaby.
How are you doing?
- [Luis] Oh, he's so cute.
- And, of course, you remember
Penelope and Luis from the Bramfam.
- Hey, hey, hey. - How are you doing?
- We're doing good, we've been good.
How are you?
- Gonna have a good time, look at a bunch
of really cool animals, as always.
They will have a really dope video.
I will put the link in the description.
Go check it out.
What do you think of my little guy, huh?
Is he cute?
- Yeah, but I'm feeding him.
- I think we're gonna feed some alligators.
Is this the first time you've ever fed an alligator?
- Um hm.
- Have you?
- I haven't, never.
- Oh my God, this is awesome.
I'm gonna let them just have fun
because I feed 'em all the time, so.
You're gonna love this, this is gonna be awesome.
But, don't feed 'em your fingers, okay.
- 'Kay.
- [Woman] There you go.
- [Luis] Whoa.
- [Woman] Are you ready to do it?
- That's gonna be awesome.
This is so awesome, I mean,
you can actually feed the flamingos.
- The only place in the country.
- [Woman] Yup, they'll eat right outta your hands.
- This is fricking awesome man.
Are you kidding me.
- [Noah] Supposedly they eat it outta your hand, dad.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh.
- Here you go flamingo dudes.
This is one of the only places in the country,
it's the only place in the country
where you can do this, right?
- [Brian] Yeah, that's what he said, yeah.
- [Forest] Yeah, yeah.
- Free range anyways. - Yeah, free range.
- [Brian] Free range, yup.
- Wow.
- [Noah] Birds kinda freak me out a little bit.
- This is fricking awesome man.
This is awesome, oh my gosh.
What a beautiful place, beautiful thing.
If you ever get down to the Sarasota area
please come out and visit these guys
'cause what an awesome experience.
Oh my gosh, what do you think?
- [Luis] What do you think P?
- Good. - Is it crazy?
- Yeah.
- [Brian] Oh my God.
- My first time, I think, holding a snake.
- [Brian] What?
- Actually, I probably held one
when I was a little kid, but I don't remember.
- [Brian] That's awesome though.
So, this is an albino ball python.
It's a sub-adult, you know,
they don't get much larger than this.
- Okay.
- [Brian] This is probably a two year old,
something in that range.
And, that's basically it.
You know, I mean, so, I think, are you excited to hold it?
- Um hm.
- You wanna hold it?
Yeah?
- [Brian] Then support the other side with the other hand.
- Is that good?
- Yeah, perfect.
- Is it good for you?
- Yes.
- Good job.
- Perfect, thank you Brian.
- So, the deal is is that
these guys are really, really fragile.
So, what we'll do is we'll hold it really low to the ground.
If you wanna put your hands out, I'll put it in.
And, you'll see, it actually tickles a little bit.
It's really cool.
Ready?
- [Luis] Perfect.
- And, there it is.
- [Luis] Whoa, isn't that cool?
- I want to put it on the ground.
- [Brian] Okay, here, I got it.
Okay.
- Are those it's eyes right there?
In the middle right here?
Tiny little black eyes?
- [Brian] Yeah.
- You know what those remind me of?
Reminds me of Harry Potter.
- Yup, kinda.
We're having an absolutely amazing time.
This place is so cool.
Again, we got here a little bit late.
But, it's been fun.
They've been having a great time
holding a bunch of stuff.
Penelope is like bulletproof.
I mean, she is unbelievably,
she has not a fear in her body,
which is absolutely amazing.
So, I'm so glad that we had a chance
to hook up with these guys again.
You guys ready to hold a big snake?
- Ready?
- Okay, let's do this.
You got it.
- I'm gonna put it on your shoulders.
- Okay, perfect.
- And, go like this. (gasping)
- Seriously one of my favorite elapids ever
happens to be this snake right here.
Of course, this is the Collette's snake.
I mean, look at how absolutely gorgeous this animal is.
I mean, it is just unbelievable.
Of course, it's a front fanged elapid from Australia.
So, it definitely packs some punch.
But, we're not gonna get anywhere near the pokey end,
that's for darn sure.
We're gonna keep ourselves safe.
You can see it's a little bit feisty,
but that's okay.
These guys are typically relatively mild mannered
when it comes to actual elapids.
You don't have to worry about 'em
coming back on ya very much.
But, they're also an extremely heavy bodied elapid too.
I mean, they can get much larger than this
and even this one is a pretty large, chunky little monkey.
But, wow, I didn't realize I was gonna
get a chance to see a Collette's on this trip.
And, I am so pleased.
What a beautiful snake.
Hey silly, hey silly.
Hey silly.
All right, so we are gonna wrap up this day
with this beautiful albino green Burmese python.
What an absolutely amazing day.
Tomorrow we have some big adventures.
Going down to Tide Parks to see some incredible lizards.
Heading down to Miami.
It's going to be absolutely insane.
I hope that you guys have
an absolutely amazing day, as always.
Your support means the world to me.
And, I truly do love you guys so much.
Can you do me a couple favors before we get outta here?
Can you smash that like button.
Turn those post notifications on
so you know when I upload a video.
Make a comment because I love reading
about your beautiful faces.
Be kind to someone.
And, I promise I will see you guys tomorrow.
