- Oh my God, that is one heavy snake.
Lucy, lets go out girl
Whoa!
I don't know what she's doing now.
She's coming right at you.
- I almost.
- Hey good morning everybody, welcome to the vlog
and I am in what is a completely destroyed cage by Lucy.
I knew she was gonna shed last night,
but she shed all over the cage.
And she also gave me some other presents
in her water, like she did last time.
But look at how gorgeous she looks.
She looks so absolutely incredible.
She shed all over the cage,
but she shed it completely off and she looks amazing.
So, hopefully she's in a really good mood today.
We're gonna take her out of the cage.
We have to clean this whole cage.
I somehow gotta get all the turds out of the water.
Clean that water, disinfect everything out.
This gives me an opportunity,
once she's out of her cage to kinda work on things.
Well, the first step is just trying
to get her out of her cage.
Lets see what happens.
Come on girl, you look so amazing today, honey.
Oh my gosh, you look so good.
It's okay, it's alright.
Oh yeah, she seems like she's in a good mood.
Maybe, maybe, I think she's in a good mood.
You okay, girl?
You okay?
Yes, you're alright.
Oh yeah.
That's my girl, yep.
Okay, alright.
Yep, she looks good.
For whatever reason it seems like right
after she sheds, she's in a super good mood.
And look at how amazing she looks.
Oh my god, this might be the best shed she's ever had
since I've had her since she was young.
She always seems to just have one or two little pieces left,
but today she's so good.
Oh, look at how bright she looks too.
Okay, okay girl.
It's alright sweetheart.
Okay.
Good job Lucy.
Oh my God, she's so gorgeous.
And you know some people have asked me,
how long have I had Lucy,
I've actually had her for almost eight years
and we actually hatched her here.
So, I've had her since the day she was born,
but just take a look at this cage.
Oh my God.
Look it, she lost bit up there shedding.
Oh my Gosh.
I've been talking about putting live cams in
so you can watch 'em all the time.
I would have loved to see a camera
of what she did last night, 'cause wholly moly.
She did a number on this cage.
Okay, let's go ahead and get going
with cleaning this thing up.
And much like last time I said was gonna kinda
get some kind of a strainer for this,
because you know picking up turds
isn't exactly the funnest thing in the world.
It's kinda good when Lucy actually does it in the water,
because I'd rather actually clean the water
which is relatively easy to do.
We have a drain in here and then
we can disinfect and Shop-Vac out.
So, that's not a problem whatsoever.
It's just a matter of getting the big old chunks out
that's not exactly the funnest job.
Oh.
And I gotta be honest with you,
you guys are really lucky, I'll give you an idea.
- Not good guys.
- Yeah, it's not exactly the best smell that I've,
you know, It's not exactly what
I want to wake up to in the morning.
Oh!
Oh my gosh, it's so bad guys.
It is definitely really bad,
but hey this all part of keeping snakes.
There's nothing you can do,
Oh my, look it, it's bad.
It's bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.
Oh!
I'm gonna throw up.
- [Noah] Me too.
I swear to God, I'm gonna throw up.
- We're only half way there, we gotta ways to go guys.
- [Noah] It's taking Everything That I Have
not to throw up right now.
- And why I don't want to just push it right down the drain
is I don't wanna get anything clogged up.
We have a clean out on the valve and stuff like that,
but no sense in making more work than we have to.
Woo, doggy.
Man, that's.
- [Noah] Not so much.
- All you need is a spoon.
(laughing)
Oh my God, this is turd soup for sure.
Oh.
Okay, okay.
Come on, okay.
Fun stuff guys, alright.
- [Noah] We good?
- Okay, you can leave now.
(slow, gentle music)
Remember the other day when I had Daisy out
and I said Lucy would be across the street right now,
because we never let her out.
I think we're going to go ahead and let her out.
I think Andrea's gonna help.
I think Noah's gonna film it on his vlog,
so he'll have the whole thing.
I'm just gonna let her loose and see what happens.
I mean, just down this aisle I don't think
she can get into any trouble.
- [Noah] Yeah, she can.
- [Brian] What, where?
- She can run right past the filter
and go in that back room.
- [Brian] No, we're not gonna let her go that far.
You're gonna stop her if she starts goin'.
- We're not gonna let her?
- [Brian] Lets just see where she goes.
- [Noah] She's like 130 pound thing.
- [Andrea] Oh my God.
- [Brian] Lucy, let's go out girl.
Whoa, uh-oh.
- [Noah] Oh man.
- [Brian] Uh-oh, that wasn't expected.
Lucy, it's okay.
- [Noah] Oh man.
- [Brian] Lucy, it's alright girl.
- [Noah] And you want to let this out?
- [Brain] Yeah, we're gonna let her out.
- [Noah] Loose?
- [Brian] Loose.
Lucy, it's okay.
It's alright girl.
- [Noah] She seems pretty happy, good mood today.
- [Brian] I didn't expect that.
She seemed like he was in a good mood.
There she goes.
Okay girl, you're alright now.
You're alright now, you're okay now.
Come on.
Come on, be free.
- [Noah] Be free after.
- [Brian] Okay, here she goes.
- [Noah] There we go.
- [Brian] Noah, jump in, I can't do this myself.
- [Noah] Jump in?
We're just gonna let her free roam.
- Okay, when I said she was in a good mood
maybe she wasn't in that good of mood,
but now look at how beautiful she looks.
- [Noah] Yeah.
- [Brian] Noah, is that awesome or what?
- [Noah] She's looking cool, checking out all the snakes.
- So again, I'm gonna let her kinda crawl around.
Noah's gonna film whatever happens.
So, if anything really bad happens
you'll see it over there if I don't live through this,
you'll see it on his channel.
Good job Lucy.
And then, we'll go ahead and get her back in her cage.
- [Noah] Oh my gosh.
- [Andrea] You're the only one scared.
- Literally, - I'm not scared,
I'm walking fast.
- Listen, she was completely fine, she was just chillin'
and then, all the sudden,
I don't know what she's doing now,
she's coming right at you.
- I almost just died.
- So Noah literally was laying down next to her
and she like flung back on him,
but now she's being completely fine
until Noah walked by and when Noah walked by
she went to strike again.
- Yeah, she almost tried to kill me.
- [Brian] Oh my God.
We're gonna go ahead, we're gonna put Lucy back now,
but oh my God, what an amazing snake.
I mean look at how awesome she is.
This is incredible, Oh my God.
What an awesome animal.
- [Noah] You got this, right?
- [Brian] I got it.
- [Noah] You got it by yourself?
You don't need help?
- I just want to do it slowly.
I don't want her to get like rubbed bad,
you know what I mean?
So, I'm just taking it real slow.
Gosh, what a gorgeous snake.
She is so amazing and she is heavy guys.
Oh my God, that is one heavy snake.
Okay Lucy.
There you go girl, there you go sweetheart.
There you go.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Look at that.
Oh my gosh, what a cool snake.
And in Lucy fashion, I bet you she
climbs right up on top of that tree.
'Cause that's typically what she does.
Look, she usually climbs right up
and hangs out in that tree.
(laughing)
Oh my gosh.
There she goes, she's always happy up on her tree.
(soft music)
I'll tell you what, I am in awe of that snake.
Boy, that beautiful beautiful snake.
Look at her just coiling up on top
of the tree like she always does.
Oh my gosh.
So that's not that bad, I mean not that much drama.
Noah, almost got bit once or twice.
- Couple times.
- But other than that it really was no drama.
Lucy had a great time being out.
Andrea didn't get killed at all so we're all good.
So, we're gonna go ahead and move on,
because Butterscotch also shed and destroyed her cage.
So, this is only one cage we had to do today.
We got two of these just like this,
but the other one is way up top.
So, Andrea you're gonna have a fun time crawling in right?
- Uh no, not me.
- [Brian] No?
- Not me.
- Oh, oh my God this is horrible.
So, I'm not gonna lie, this is the only cage
that kinda concerns me in the entire place,
because it's literally the highest cage
and we have this girl right over here.
That is not mean snake at all,
but she's very food aggressive
and the only way to get her is to
literally climb in here and go get her.
There is nothing else I can do
and she's already, look it,
she's already coiling up for a strike.
It's okay girl, it's okay.
It's okay, I'm not food.
There's nothing I can do, but go in after her.
It's okay girl.
It's okay, it's okay.
It's alright, you're alright.
You're okay girl.
Oh my gosh, this is perilous.
You're okay sweetheart.
Uh- oh, uh-oh.
Okay, gotta keep her away.
Uh-oh.
Just hoping that she's not gonna bite.
Okay, come on.
Okay, she's fine now.
We're gonna have to get her in to soak a little bit,
because she shed all over this cage,
but she's got a little stuck shed on her.
So, I'm gonna it off to Andrea,
and Andrea can put her in a soak
and then I'll get in here and clean.
(Slow music)
Alright, so no drama there.
Once she's out she's completely fine,
but she's definitely very food aggressive, you know?
When you come in the cage she's thinking she's gonna eat.
But you can see she just shed all over the place.
So, I'm gonna have to vacuum this out.
I've gotta clean her water out, do all that type of stuff.
It's hot in here, it's cramped in here,
but this is all part of it.
I mean, if you want cool zoo displays
this is kinda how you have to do it.
It's really not that big of a deal,
but okay, got my work cut out for me.
(slow music)
And the next up to kinda clean
and this happens almost every single day
of course is Ubusuku.
Always messes up.
Whoa!
It's okay Ubusuku.
Whoa!
Uh-oh, uh-oh.
There you go, good catch.
Good catch Andrea.
That was like kind of,
I was like a fish out of water.
Okay, Ubusuku decided that we're not gonna clean the water.
No, we are gonna clean it.
We just have to make sure that
she understands that we are not food.
Ubusuku, okay.
Hey, hey.
We're not food.
We're not food, back it up.
Back it up girl, we're just cleaning your water.
That's a girl, that's a girl.
We're just cleaning your water.
Good job girl.
Good job, way to go, way to go girl.
Way to go.
And that's the thing, as soon as she
realizes she's not getting fed.
We do this almost everyday to her water.
She realizes, alright, and then look it,
this is what she does, she just hangs out here
and that's about it.
(Slow, gentle music)
And again, like I mentioned, she's so cooperative
once she realizes that we're not food.
She just kind of watches us and stuff like that.
She's a great animal.
So, now we just have to disinfect the bowl,
Put some more water, and keep sucking out
until all the nastiness is out
and then we'll fill it up with fresh water.
Again, pretty much something Andrea
or myself do every single day.
Butterscotch has been soaking for a little while.
Looks like all the shed is off really nice.
So all we have to do is put her back in the cage.
You know, all in the days work, right?
Come on girl, up you go.
Up you go.
Up you go girl, there you go.
She is such a beautiful snake.
So there you have it, you know?
I mean that is kinda the daily grind
of working with these animals
and again everyday could be something completely different.
Even if you've cleaned that animal 100 times,
it could be 100 different experiences with cleaning it,
so that's just part of the fun.
And I love it over here at The Reptarium,
'cause we have a blast with these cages.
They're sometimes hard to work with,
but they are absolutely amazing.
Though Andrea, Bruce, and myself
do all of the daily maintenance the truth is,
Andrea does it most of the time,
Bruce helps a little bit, and then I help out
with the big snakes and stuff like that.
But it's just kinda cool to go around
and look at every cage.
And that basically is what happens.
Even though we're only open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
sometimes we do events like tours
and birthday parties during the week,
but even of nothing is going on
I want to always make sure that
every cage is completely clean.
Even on the off days when no one is in here
I want them to clean the glass.
I want them to clean the cages.
Obviously the reptiles themselves have to be taken care of,
but literally everyday we treat it like we're open
to the public every single day.
So, everything is getting, cleaned, fed,
watered, all that type of stuff.
And hey listen, that's the best way
to run a place like this,
because I kinda feel like if you were only
cleaning stuff on the weekends
that it would kinda get dirty and stuff like that.
And then take a look at Raswal.
Oh my gosh, that animal is so cool.
That Pastel Python of course is in shed right now.
And I still a couple months into this adventure,
love this place even more and more every single day.
I cannot tell you how much I love being here.
Look at Fetty Wap over there.
What are you doing Fetty?
The Mata Mata Turtles.
Oh my gosh, they're so cool.
I walk around this place all the time just in awe.
Look at Karma over there, what's up Karma?
And we are going to put some more foliage in Karma's cage.
He seems to be doing really well,
but I do think that it is a little bit bare
and there's no doubt about it.
So we're gonna add some foliage to that.
Pickles is doing well, obviously.
Casper is looking great.
He ate his first meal yesterday.
I was so excited about that.
Things are looking so good here at The Reptarium.
But there's still so much going on here over at BHB.
These are a couple of our raise outs
This is just a Lavender Corn Snake right here.
I mean, we have some really pretty snakes
that are going to be breeding in the next couple years.
Like this cute little Pastel Pink Albino Hognose Snake.
I've said this before, there's actually
a couple different Albino Hognose.
There's the orange ones and then
the pastel pink ones like this.
Look at how cute that little monkey is.
I really love just looking through the stuff
that Lori and Eric are raising up.
Look at this Candycane Tessera Corn Snake right here.
What is it doing, just sitting up like that?
What a crazy little dude this thing is.
Oh my God, it's gorgeous.
And speaking of gorgeous, oh my gosh.
Look at some of these Gray-banded Kingsnakes.
I had mentioned before that we're raising up
like eight or 10 of these guys.
Every one of them is just unbelievable.
You know, the thing I think that's about snakes,
is not every snake has to be the rarest snake
to be absolutely gorgeous.
Take a look at this Creamsicle Corn right here.
I mean that is just an unbelievably gorgeous animal,
but it's relatively common.
I mean babies only sell for like 50,
60 bucks or something like that,
but that's just a gorgeous snake.
Or how about this Blizzard Sunkist Corn Snake right here.
Oh my gosh.
Now, the BLizzard Corns are usually almost all white,
but when you mix it in with that Sunkist gene,
oh my god.
What's basically going on with this little dude right here
is a triple recessive so it's an albino,
it's a multicorn which is the type B Anerytheristic,
and it's a Sunkist.
So that is a triple recessive.
That's a lot of genes, but it looks so cool
with those crazy green blotches coming through.
And then here's some of the
Gargoyle Geckos that are raise outs.
Take a look at this one right here.
This is actually the Tiki Gecko Deadpool line.
Oh my gosh, that thing is ridiculous.
We have some beautiful Gargoyle Geckos coming up.
Oh man, I am so excited about the future for these guys.
Regardless as you can see, things are
cranking over here at BHB,
and I love spending time over here too
even if my heart right now is over
at The Repatarium most of the time.
I still love BHB and all the insanely cool
animals we have over here.
And with that said, I think I'm gonna go ahead
and end the vlog and wish you guys
an absolutely amazing day, evening,
whenever you happen to be watching.
I cannot thank you enough for all the support you give me.
