- Hey, good morning everybody, and welcome to the vlog.
I hope the start of your day is absolutely incredible.
We have a lot going on today.
It's gonna be an amazing day.
What do you say we have a great time together
and just get it going?
Gotta feed at the Reptarium so why not start
with the freakiest animals, Ben and Jerry?
Here you guys go.
Oh!
Come on, Jerry.
There it is.
Both of 'em took it, all right, cool.
It's all so freaky.
Even after several times,
every time that both of them eat,
it's just so absolutely bizarre.
So, I'm just gonna sit back
before we feed the rest of the zoo,
and just admire how awesome Ben and Jerry are.
(chill music)
It's so good to see Ben and Jerry eat.
I mean you guys know my history with two headed snakes.
I was determined to get one that was gonna do well.
And it was a pretty painful journey.
But now that they are eating, unbelievable.
I'm so happy, they're such amazing animals
and I feel so lucky to finally have one.
But we have to feed the rest of the zoo.
So let's go ahead and just jump right in with Sunrise.
(chill music)
Oh, look how cute.
Way to go, Steely.
Steely is so amazing.
I don't really show her as much on the vlog
because she doesn't normally even take rodents like this.
Usually I just have to lay them in the cage.
But she just took it so gently this time.
And of course, she is a jumbo carpet python.
What a beautiful animal.
Up next, my boy Night Fury.
I've gotta decide if I'm gonna breed him next year.
I thought that maybe him and Butterscotch
might be a good pairing.
I told you Lucy will never get bred again.
But maybe I'll put him in with Butterscotch.
I'm not 100% sure.
In the mean time, we've got to feed him.
And he looks very ready.
Where you at, bud?
Oh!
Come on, buddy.
There it is.
I tell you what: living oil slick.
Absolutely gorgeous.
Perdida is just coming out of shed
but it definitely looks like she's still
more than happy to eat.
Do you want to eat, girl?
There it is.
Oh!
Yeah, there she is.
All right, she'll literally take this rodent down,
probably shed later on tonight, tomorrow
by the latest because even though she looks
absolutely gorgeous now,
she's gonna look a lot better in a day or two.
(chill music)
Up next, the maniac, Ricky.
Ah yeah, he's ready to go, come on, buddy.
There he is, whew.
I tell ya, that animal just strikes with more violence,
I think, than almost anything I have.
I think him and Casper are the two
that just strike like violently.
But absolutely a beautiful snake.
Love him to death.
Onto the next.
My boy Casper is just starting to go a little bit opaque.
So he may eat, or he may not eat.
I'm not 100% sure yet.
But I don't like the fact that I almost have to crawl in
the cage to feed him, so, wish me luck.
Oh, jeez.
He kind of surprised me on that one.
He didn't even look like he was interested,
then he just kind of lunged at it.
So okay, well, I guess he will eat.
It's good that he ate, and it's good that I didn't get bit.
Next up is the d'albertis python
but it looks like it's already to go for sure.
Come on, there you go, bud.
Up, up, up, not at me, not at me.
Here we go, whoa, here go.
You're almost there.
Oh jeesh.
One more time, one more time.
There it is.
Whew.
That is one beautiful snake.
And I've said this a million times,
but d'albertis pythons typically aren't
the tamest of animals.
This guy is a absolutely beauty.
(chill music)
That wraps up here.
Everything ate really well.
Absolutely successful day of feeding at the Reptarium.
Got a couple really beautiful clutches
of colubrids hatched out.
Oh my God, look at these things!
This is actually blood red scaleless corn snake
bred to a blood het scaleless.
So all of these guys here are diffused
of blood red corns that are scaleless.
Look at these things right here!
Oh my gosh, they are absolutely gorgeous.
And like I've mentioned before
that diffuse are blood red is that really increased amount
of red pigment and reduction of pattern.
As these guys get older, they'll actually turn
predominantly red and of course are scaleless.
Hoo-doggy, there are some nice ones in here!
I'm just gonna take a look at this last one.
I just put them in the water to get that vernix out
so you can really see how unbelievably gorgeous they are.
Looks like we've got four or five really nice diffused,
are blood red, scaleless corn snakes in this clutch
and then this clutch is just starting to hatch right now.
But oh my gosh!
This is the one I was hoping for.
It's not like super uber rare or anything like that.
But if you were to ask me what my favorite
corn snake morph is, chances I would tell you
ten different corn snakes.
But the truth is I really do love hypo lavender corn snakes.
I don't know, there's just something about
the hypo lavender stuff.
That pink, beautiful color, little lavender hints in there.
Absolutely incredible and it looks like these are
some hypos that are het lavender right here,
and then just a normal, and then there's a bunch of eggs
that are still due to hatch here.
It looks like we even have this clutch starting to pip
just a little bit.
So a couple beautiful clutches
that have hatched out this morning
and some more babies to come!
So game on here at BHB.
The next couple of months
are gonna be wall to wall baby snakes.
Got our first tour of the day, how are you guys doing?
Welcome, and you guys are from?
- Jersey.
- [Brian] Nice, nice, Jersey, all right, guys.
College gate fellows here, so.
Well, we're gonna have a great time today.
Let's look at a whole bunch of cool stuff.
Anything in particular you gotta see first?
- I want to see Salt and Pepper.
- [Brian] Salt and Pepper, let's start there!
Let's do it.
(chill music)
Okay, so, my second tour is in the house.
Molly, you are from El Paso, Texas, right?
Well thank you guys for coming all this way.
I'm super excited to show you guys around.
We already have Elvis walking around here.
Is there anything in particular
that you're really excited about?
- Nova.
- Oh, Nova, really?
Well, we'll go see Nova.
You want to go see him now?
Let's do it.
(chill music)
Down the dungeon with Kelsey.
We have just one ball python clutch today.
What do we have?
- We have an enchi bred to an enchi pin banana male.
- Oh my gosh, that's awesome.
So we could get some super enchi bananas,
super enchi pin bananas, super enchi, stuff like that.
So that's absolutely incredible.
Let's see what she has.
Enchi girls are always amazing.
Oh, she's got a few eggs out of her clutch over here.
So we can pull those eggs out real quick.
Three little eggers over there!
And every now and then, females will actually do that.
They'll just abandon their eggs for some reason,
and sometimes, I'm not even sure what the reasonings are,
but let's go ahead and see what she has.
Oh, she's got a bunch of really good eggs.
Sometimes literally, she just can't wrap around them.
Which is completely fine.
So we'll get these eggs out of here.
They all look really good.
And someone actually asked me one time:
do you think that when they abandon the eggs,
they know that maybe there's something wrong with the eggs?
The truth is I've seen it both ways.
I've seen abandoned eggs actually hatch.
I've seen abandoned eggs go bad.
But this clutch looks really good.
What do we have?
- [Kelsey] One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!
- Eight beautiful eggs.
That is an absolutely good clutch.
Only clutch of the day but again, some results of those
will be really cool, oh my God.
Ball python hatch season is already happening.
And it's so much fun, and I have so much to look forward to.
Thanks, Kelsey, you did a great job.
- Thank you!
(chill music)
Pretty often I'll walk by a habitat
and just see an animal and I wonder
I haven't showed this off in a while!
Flaming Hot Cheeto here is absolutely gorgeous.
And again, big kids' favorite.
I mean, kids love this animal.
And he's so cool 'cause kids can feed him
and stuff like that, too.
(laughs)
I love these guys.
And again, this is one of the things a lot of kids
come in and they'll actually feed Flaming Hot
or Fatty Wop, or stuff like that.
I just think it's a cool thing
that we get to do it all the time.
But to be able to offer that to somebody
is absolutely incredible.
Here you go, bud.
(laughs)
How awesome is Flaming Hot Cheeto?
We're doing a birthday party right now
for a cool kid, this is Jack right here.
He is definitely really into reptiles.
He is in heaven right now.
It's a really good time, a bunch of people here.
It's a pretty long birthday party
so we have a lot to see and a lot of fun to be had.
(chill music)
Guys, I've got something for ya.
- Oh yeah! - What do you got?
- I'm thinking we need to do something
awesome with some of our supporters.
The people that hang out with us
and just really do everything with us.
What do you guys think about the Crawl movie?
- What about it?
- [Brian] The Crawl movie?
- Oh yeah! - It's the alligator one.
- I've seen that coming out.
Yeah, the little gator in there.
- What about it?
- It came out this week, I'm not sure.
Well, I'm thinking about, what if we
maybe get 25 tickets for random people.
- I know what you're thinking.
- [Brian] What are you thinkin'?
- We put RJ in the sewers and we have him kill people.
- Dude, that's right.
- No, no, that's not at all what I was thinking.
I was thinking like if we gave away 25 tickets
to come hang out with us and we go see the Crawl movie
or something like that.
- That would be cool! - What do you think
about that?
- I think that would be pretty sweet, man.
- Are there 25 people that would come to Detroit
to go to the Crawl movie with us?
- I'm sure. - Maybe not.
- Maybe even 50 people, I'm not even 100% sure.
- We should just do the whole movie theater.
- Well, maybe that, maybe we can actually,
maybe I can actually talk to a movie theater
and see if we can get the entire theater.
- Entire theater.
- Like probably 75, 100.
I'm gonna work on this.
Let me know in the comments if you guys would come
to the Detroit area.
You could maybe come check out the Reptarium afterwards.
Whatever the case is.
What do you guys think?
Should we do this? - I think that's a great idea
honestly, I think that's pretty cool.
- Good idea. - Hopefully there's 25 people
that like us.
- [Woman] Yeah, I see how you are,
you just have to say that you're fine
and you're not really fine, but you just can't--
- Well, depends which one we, you know.
- I agree, good job.
- Okay, cool, all right, let me know in the comments, guys.
If you guys want to do this, I will check it.
Some local theaters.
See if I can maybe figure out how to rent
an entire theater, something like that.
- Is it out?
- I think it's out.
- Is it out? - I don't.
- Maybe it's out next weekend, I don't know.
- I don't know.
- I think some people said they went to see it this weekend.
- I think it's out.
- Oh, maybe, okay.
- I've actually heard, although, listen,
my shark friends always say the worst thing
that ever happened to shark research
and conservation was Jaws.
But I hear this doesn't seem that hokey.
Some of my friends like Savannah at Gator Land
love the movie. - Oh, okay!
- So it wasn't like a Sharknado.
Supposedly it was pretty good.
I don't know. - Oh, all right, sweet.
- So, I don't know, let me know what you guys think.
And maybe we'll do this, we'll see how it goes.
All right guys, so we are here.
Bella has been with me for the past few days.
And one of her dreams was to be with Lucy
as much as she possibly can.
We're gonna go ahead, feed Lucy.
So I figured what better way than to do it.
Let Bella feed Lucy.
Now I'm gonna be in there protecting
every single thing, making sure that nothing goes wrong.
But it's gonna be really exciting.
Everyone else is watching and recording
so let's hope nothing goes wrong.
Now you're gonna come in right over here,
like put your hand in as far as you can here.
All right, just stay right there.
All right, now, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick.
Yup, right there, right there.
- [Bella] Ooh!
(everyone exclaims shock)
- Oh my God!
- [Brian] There it is!
What do you think?
- That's the sweetest thing I've ever seen!
- [Brian] Good job, Lucy!
Way to go.
See, everyone lived, guys!
It's awesome, right?
(everyone cheers)
And that my friends concludes the vlog.
Have a wonderful day and stay wild.
No wait, that's Coyote Peterson.
Be kind to someone and I promise I'll see you guys tomorrow.
- I love your YouTube channel!
