- Today is our 2,000th video
and we're gonna celebrate it
by holding 2,000 feet of snake!
And we might as well get started
with our longest snake, Lucy!
(groans) Up you go!
There you go, Lucy.
No, Lucy go.
Spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti.
Might be a little harder than I thought.
We're only on our first snake.
Mind you, it's 20 foot of first snake but, Lucy!
Okay girl, okay Lucy.
(group clapping)
1,980 feet to go.
But I'm gonna need some help.
Boys!
- Hey Noah, you gotta come up,
we gotta do Butterscotch.
- [Noah] There's no way I'm doing Butterscotch.
- Last time I went up there I fell,
and Jay had to catch me.
- We don't have all day boys.
- [Mike] Literally, never (yelling)
- [Brian] Did you see that thing?
- Dude, (indistinct)
- Dude, she's got one hell of a-
- Whoa!
(yelling)
- Can we hold, just like, six Ball Pythons?
- I like that idea.
(yelling)
- Whoa!
- [Noah] I don't think she's in a great mood today, Brian.
- Oh my Lanta!
- [Noah] I'm not from Atlanta, but I appreciate it.
- [Mike] Gosh, she's so strong.
Getting so big man.
(groans)
All right, get going.
Where you guys going?!
Get that half.
- [Noah] Yep, yep, yep.
- [Mike] All right, you got it. Go that way.
- [Man] Pull more out, pull more out out.
- [Noah] Oh god!
- [Mike] No!
What are you doing?!
- [Noah] Go!
- So strong.
- [Mike] I know!
- [Brian] Walk that way.
- [Noah] I'm trying. I'm trying.
Okay, how many feet is this?
How many?! How many feet?!
- I think she's about 14 feet!
- Fourteen?
- Maybe 15.
Reptiles are interesting
because of course they're ectothermic,
which is cold blooded.
So they're not putting energy
into keeping their body temperature like we do.
We have a solid temperature so a lot of our caloric intake
is about keeping that temperature.
Whereas with snakes,
all of their caloric intake is about growth.
That's what so cool about reptiles.
- Mike don't give up that easy.
I don't know if you remember Mr. Brian,
but I'm so fat.
- Speaking of fat, there's actually donuts next door.
Let's check it out.
I think you're gonna need some of this for energy
for the next challenge.
- Can I shove this whole thing in my mouth right now?
- I don't know, can you?
- About to find out.
(clapping)
- And there's of course, Gemma,
who's definitely gonna take a chunk out of that 2,000 feet.
(groans)
She's a heavy snake, there's no doubt about that.
Of course a ghost reticulated python.
Come on girl, off you go.
(groans)
She's about 18 foot long.
Definitely gonna start making some progress
on these big snakes, there's no doubt about that.
She is one heavy girl.
- Why did it take you so long?
- Shut up, Mike.
- Well I got my energy back,
but my brain needs a little iffy.
So we got our animal educators here
so I gonna actually have them take out Daisy
'cause we're not.
Boys! Hey girl!
All right, just in there into the bit switch.
- [Noah] I don't like that. (laughing)
- [Mike] You're good, you're good, you're good.
- [Noah] Keep pulling.
- [Mike] Yep, keep going.
There's 18 1/2 feet of snake.
- [Noah] I got her.
- [Noah] Every food counts.
- [Mike] Chris let's go!
- [Noah] You're so sludge Chris.
- [Chris] Thanks for the words of encouragement.
(laughing)
- [Noah] There you go.
(yelling)
- [Chris] He kissed me.
- Where do you think? Go get and grab lunch real quick?
- Yeah. - Oh where we going?
- I could use a burger.
- [Brian] Let's go.
- [Noah] I'll take a number two!
With a diet coke!
(buzzing)
- [Chris] By Daisy.
- That is the worst spot to go in.
- Back from lunch and we're actually have 56 feet.
We're getting close to 2,000 feet, let's keep going.
Multicinta snake, another foot and a half.
- What about Luna?
- Probably like 4 inches.
- Is that not enough?
- Midnight, the Mexican Black King.
Lemondrop, the albino carpet python.
- Why do we do these?
- Wait one second, I gotta control my heart.
- I need another donut.
- Can't even.
- [Mike] All right. There you go.
- [Noah] Go, go, go.
I dropped it like it's hot.
Right here, right here.
You see this?
- Whoo, whoo, whoo!
- There is it.
Why did you put so many vines in this cage?!
(yelling)
- [Mike] Man down.
- Next man up.
- Wait, that's me?
- Ugh.
- Oh, dude, look at it.
- Not he's all striked out.
- We used all the strikes.
Come on!
- Oh, we must.
Oh my god, I'm supposed to get leave.
- Why do some snakes get big and some stay small?
(laughing)
- Well the truth is,
is that it depends on where they're from.
You gotta remember,
from an area like Indonesia or the Philippines,
they're actually gonna get really large
'cause there's a ton of food for them to actually eat,
so they get really big.
But you gotta remember that there's insular islands
even in Indonesian area where breeds stay smaller
because there's not a much food availability.
And over a hundreds and millions of years,
they actually evolved into a smaller animal.
And that's why something like Lucky,
is actually smaller that a reticulated python.
- Wow.
- The mullen dorphy hundred flower rat snake.
Manderina.
Hougardy, the boelen's python is definitely getting big.
Probably a good 5 to 6 foot.
- Scaleness Texas Rat.
(inaudible)
- Corn snake.
- Woman python.
- Hybrid reticulated python.
She's in my eye.
- Anaconda.
- [Group] Anaconda!
- And of course we have three anacondas in this enclosure
with Ivy being the largest one at about 11 foot.
The other two account for about 12 foot as well.
So we're looking at 27 feet of snake
just in this enclosure alone.
Snazz is the wild type Burmese python, about 10 foot.
Honey the ball python, about 2 foot.
So this is a tough one.
Is this one snake of two snakes?
This is of course, the two headed snake, Ben and Jerry.
But these guys are about 3 1/2, close to 4 foot long.
One day Marshmallow is gonna be 15 to 18 foot snake
but right now it's about 5 foot.
Look at the meal in Nightfury.
It's about 8 foot right now.
But it is gonna get giant if keeps eating meals like that.
Perthos, about 6 foot.
- Then look, it said, "Wave brake."
So when it's on this side, you wave to the people.
When it's on this side, Mike's on break.
(laughing)
- Make's sense.
- Cupcake.
- Ten foot!
- And snakes and reptiles actually never stop growing.
So basically when they're young, they grow really fast.
So Cupcake is 10 foot long.
She's actually probably grew from 12 inches
to two, three foot in the first year.
After they get to adulthood like she is,
they'll continue to grow forever
but only maybe two inches per year.
Jeffery is getting big too.
Topping out at about 8 foot.
I was gonna have the boys
actually handle the black headed python,
but I decided I'd go ahead and go it for them
so that they can avoid a little bit of a bite.
Of course this is a Snap and Pop here.
There are actually black headed pythons from Australia.
See if I can get both of them up there.
Yeah, this is a little bit dangerous here.
I'd say they're each as least six foot long.
So that's another 12 foot.
We fed a bunch of stuff yesterday
so Al had a big bump in him as well
so I'm not gonna take him out.
You don't wanna handle your snakes right after you feed 'em.
This is about 12 foot long added to the tally.
Curdeda is getting so big.
The last time we measured her, she topped out at 10 foot.
El Toro the bull snake is a long snake.
It's not very thick, but it's definitely long.
Over 5 foot.
Hellen the Noido albino ball python.
About 2 foot.
Sunrise is getting big.
About 12 foot.
I figure that tops out the foodateria at the Reptarium,
over 220 feet.
And you guys remember what I said
after the last thousand vlogs?
I don't know what the future holds.
But I know one thing, the next thousand vlogs
are gonna be absolutely epic.
So let's hope we have as much fun with the next 2,000 vlogs.
Thankfully, there's about 200 adult female ball pythons.
Now, I would say the average size of those animals
are between four and five foot.
So let's go ahead and say that they're four foot.
There's 200 of these guys.
Let's go ahead and handle each one.
To say that these ball pythons average four foot
is probably underestimate to be honest with you.
But I wanna make sure that I hold every single animal
and we certainly don't have the time
to measure each one of 'em.
So I think four foot is decent average.
Guess what?
As I was handling every one of these ball pythons,
I came across a clutch of eggs.
This is actually a chocolate pinstripe
wrapped around some beautiful eggs.
And it was bread to this.
What we used to refer to as a barney ball python
'cause we thought they'd be purple.
These are the super chocolate pinstripe bananas.
Let's see if we can get mom off.
Looks like a really beautiful clutch of eggs.
Yes, it certainly is.
Everything is gonna be chocolate.
About half of these eggs are gonna be super chocolate
and then half of 'em are gonna banana.
And then they'll be some that pinstripes.
We we're gonna have all kinds of different stuff
like camo, super chocolate bananas.
(gibberish)
Chocolate bananas.
Wow, look at this clutch.
There's two, four, six, eight, ten eggs.
First 10 egg clutch of the year.
Need to get the eggs in the incubator
but for now gotta handle the rest of these ball pythons.
As I go through these last couple ball pythons,
it's actually cool to take each and every one of them out
'cause I'm getting an opportunity
to see what they look like,
where they're at in their production schedule.
So there it is.
Basically, I did another 800 foot or so approximately.
Actually had a bunch of females that ovulated too.
Meaning that, in about 50 days,
we're gonna get a ton of eggs there's no doubt about that.
So I think that puts us up to about 1,020 feet.
But that still leaves 980 feet of snakes
that we have to still handle today.
- Well this one's about 5 feet long.
- We have about 980 feet to go.
This the female diamond python. What do you say Mike?
Two, three feet?
- I say three feet.
- Three? All right. Add another one.
- Prog python.
- You really have a hook for this two foot?
Oh, oh. - Oh my god!
- We gotta start taming this thing up
before it get too big man.
- [Mike] I don't wanna do it.
Okay uh, what is this?
Oh my goodness.
See that's 16 inches bro.
- Sixteen?
- [Noah] Grab it man.
- I don't wanna.
- It can only strike forward.
(yelling)
- That is a lie!
This is like fat sausage, 6 inches.
- Every inch counts.
It's so fast.
- [Mike] Whoa!
- I got this one.
- All right, let's see how he does it.
- [Brian] Watch, first thing you do is let it strike.
Now you pick it up.
(laughing) - Stop, stop, stop.
- Add another 16 inches.
- Sixteen?
We got our male yellow-tail cribo here.
How long do you think he is?
- Like one foot, two foot.
- Is that how you measure feet?
- Yes it is.
- I would say this at least about 8 foot.
- It's actually 96 inches long.
And you know why they measure snake in inches?
- Why? - Why?
- 'Cause they don't have feet.
(laughing)
- We use the hook for this?
- Drake.
(inaudible)
- [Noah] Watch this right here.
Remember what we just learned.
- [Mike] Hey I'm distracting it over here man.
Go for the back.
- He's a bluffer. He's a bluffer.
- [Noah] Mike attack from the back.
Get him from the back, Mike.
Grab it now, now, now!
Go, go Mike. Go!
Mike!
Keep your torso. Keep your torso.
Tight core. Tight core.
- All right, so this is the Albert.
Right? Did I say that right?
The northern female.
Noah, Noah, Noah!
- [Noah] How long? How long?
- About 6 1/2 feet maybe?
- We're not in any danger. You can tell by the posture.
- Six? 6 feet? 6 1/2? - 6 1/2.
_ Yeah, let's go with 6 1/2.
Mike's been such a baby.
Should be a western.
I don't think they know they're geometry.
Put it back man.
We've got thousands of feet to go, stop wasting time.
- Sharp sunglow albino boa.
- [Noah] Eight foot.
- [Noah] Eight foot?
- Measured it.
- I think he needs to go back to school.
I'd say about seven feet.
- Albino burmese is gonna eat up some footage,
is about nine feet.
- Stop giving me kisses.
- Commit, commit. Hold it. Support.
(yells)
It wants you to drop it
because you're not supporting it.
- I was supporting it.
- Support it. - I'm supporting it.
Balla? Like three feet.
Do the gorgeous snake.
- It's like a giraffe.
- So we have about 30 rainbow boas.
- Each about five feet.
- So if I do math really bad,
but I think it's about 155 feet of snake.
- It's a lot of feet for still no legs.
- As these guys are finishing up going down this aisle,
there's about 440 feet of snakes down this aisle alone.
We started with 1,020 feet.
That means that we have 1,140 feet.
We still have 560 feet to go.
Luckily, we have colubridaes.
We need 560 feet of snake left to go.
And my colubridaes are about four foot long.
Meaning, that we need 352 colubridaes to get to our goal.
It's great going through all these snakes
because it's breeding season down here for the colubridaes.
Meaning that eggs are coming really soon
and you're starting to see these females
starting to bloat up with eggs.
It's gonna be so excited here in just another few weeks.
I'm actually enjoying this challenge to be honest with you
'cause I get a chance to look at these beautiful snakes.
Gives me a reason to actually hold a ton of snakes.
This actually a granite max max,
which is called a San Luis Potosi kingsnake.
And this is actually kind of a little subspecies of that.
Still a Mexicana but this is what they would call an alterna
or an alterna phase gray-banded kingsnake.
I mean look at how absolutely beautiful is.
So I went through about 150 snakes now.
I still have 200 to go.
I'm less than 200 snakes away to meeting my goal
of 2,000 feet of snakes.
That's right.
That's a third of a mile of snakes that we've touched today.
We're actually two snakes away from hitting our goal
of 2,000 feet of snakes.
But I'm gonna need help for this one.
- Yeah!
- Oh, this is Jimmy!
- Jimmy!
- Jimmy's our bestie.
- Yeah, Mr. B. So what's up?
- [Mike] Ah!
- Why?
(yelling)
Dude, you're doing great.
(snaking hissing) (yelling)
- [Mike] Don't move. Don't move.
- [Noah] No, don't go bite my pinky.
- Oh, now he's front of my face.
- [Noah] Please don't bite my face mister.
Mister, guard my face mister!
Mister!
- Now snakes actually have different growth rates
depending on what they feed.
Obviously, if a snake is eating fuzzy mice,
it's only gonna grow at certain rate.
Once it goes into a mouse
it's actually gonna start growing quicker and quicker.
And once it gets onto a rats,
that's when a snake will really exploding in size.
Like a snake like Jimmy
that's eating small to medium rats,
really gets it's maximum size
once it's the largest prey (inaudible) can eat.
And this beautiful albino gopher snake is the last snake
that puts us over the 2,000 mark.
I hope you guys enjoyed the last 2,000 videos.
Let's do 2,000 more.
Hope you guys enjoyed today's video.
If you did, there's a playlist that you can watch
all kinds of videos.
You can also hit that subscription button.
It would mean a lot of me.
Also, hit that like button while you're down there.
Have a wonderful day reptile army.
Remember, be kind to someone
and I promise I'll see you in the next one.
