- Hey, good morning everybody,
and welcome to the vlog.
The Boelen's python just shed out,
and looks spectacular.
I just had to show you off.
This thing is getting close coming back
over here to The Reptarium,
and I know people are going to love it
because it is one of the most ridiculous snakes
in the world, and I hope that your day is going amazing.
Do me a favor.
Let's push our problems aside
and have a great time together.
I'm not gonna lie to you,
this vlog is going to get a little freaky.
And by freaky, I mean,
we hatched out a snake that is a complete weirdo.
So, let's just go ahead and jump right in to showing
you what I mean by that.
That Lori pin to Lori with that super Lori pin hatched out.
I wanna show this clutch.
I'm not gonna lie, a huge, huge, huge disappointment's
about to be shown here,
but I'm gonna show you the good stuff first.
These are actually all Lori pinstripes.
And it's really cool.
You can see the difference between a normal pinstripe here
and a Lori pinstripe right here.
That faded look to it,
that Lori ball python just kinda makes
that axanthic-y look to it,
kinda changes up the pattern.
And we did really good with this one, two, three, four
Lori pinstripes.
And to give you an idea,
this is a Lori ball python right here.
So this gives you an idea, and then you could put that
up against the only normal from the clutch,
and you can really see the difference in the color
and the pattern.
It almost has that little bit of connecting saddles
and stuff like that.
Some kind of flaming up the sides,
so that's really cool,
but of course, the crème de la crème of this clutch
was the only super Lori which is super Lori pin,
but I tell you what guys,
sometimes this happens with genetics.
I am so bummed out about this.
Look at the deformity on the nose right there guys.
That's right, it was born deformed.
And it happens with all kinds of different mutations.
It happened with albinos.
You can have it with Py's,
you can have it with Sinnas.
It's not that this deformity is linked to the Lori gene,
it's just that sometimes genetically,
you just end up having a deformity,
and I am so bummed.
Now what will happen to this ball python?
I'm not sure.
I'm not gonna euthanize it,
I'm gonna set it up, I'm gonna let it shed,
I'm gonna do the best.
It may even do completely fine,
if it does, then I'll probably just re-home it
as a pet to somebody.
Or maybe even keep it myself as a pet.
I mean, it's kinda cute.
It's got that little bulbous nose thing,
but I am so bummed because this was the animal
that was the best animal
as far as genetically in the clutch,
but this is part of it guys.
I told you I am gonna take you on the journey,
the good, the bad, the ugly.
This happens to everyone.
Not everyone shares it,
but I'm gonna share it because if you ever breed snakes,
you're going to have this happen,
and it is deflating, I'm not gonna lie.
I was so excited about this ball python,
but hey, listen,
hopefully it still thrives and does good
and it'll make a good pet down the road.
Well what do you know,
I have a really busy, hectic day today,
and so far I'm the only one here.
The crew shows up in a couple hours,
but Lucy, of course, decided-
Oh my gosh, guys,
that is the biggest poop shoot yet.
Oh!
And I fed her a bunch of rabbits over the last few weeks,
and all those rabbits came out.
Aw, this is gonna be,
this is gonna be horrible.
I'm not even gonna lie to you,
this is gonna be.
(sighs)
I should wear a mask for this or something,
but let's just jump there and do it.
(electric music)
(upbeat music)
Holy moly, Lucy,
what the heck did you do?
Unbelievable.
(groans)
I think an elephant came in here!
Lucy, where'd you put the elephant at?
Did you eat the elephant?
Holy cow!
Wow, wowzer.
There is so much poop here.
How'd she poop so much?
(groans)
(electric music)
I tell you what,
that was quite the aroma, I'm not gonna lie.
Lucy you did good girl.
I think she's going to be ready to eat
some more rabbits here pretty soon
because she deposited
I'd say at least twenty pounds of poop in that water.
I wanna show you guys like the three stages
of the ball python production right?
We got the egg cutting,
we've got the fresh hatch,
and then we've got the shed.
All of those are three different completely things
because once they shed, they look completely different.
I'm gonna start with this Banana G-stripe.
Just take a look at this monkey right here.
I mean, that is incredible
with that perfect stripe down his back.
The purple outlining,
I mean that thing is a ripper once it's shed out.
I love it.
Definitely one of the cooler mutations
when it comes to Bananas for sure.
This was one of those Fire pin yellow-bellies.
And I just think that those three combinations put together
just make for a really really gorgeous snake.
And again, fresh-shed looks amazing.
This one's actually an Enchi lemon blast yellow-belly,
so there's a lot going on there.
There's pastel, there's enchi, there's pinstriped,
and there's yellow belly in it.
So a four gene animal,
those four genes together really make this thing
look electric.
Colubers are continuing to hatch,
maybe we'll get a little coluber hatch jingle going.
I'm not 100% sure.
This one is actually just a bunch of greenish rat snakes.
Really beautiful snakes.
There's a bunch of babies that are still in the egg,
but we have some cool ones out here.
And these guys, again,
turn kind of green with like lateral stripes on them
when they get older,
but as babies, they have the kind of cool gray and saddles
and stuff like that.
Really cool snakes.
These are an animal that are typically found in Florida.
They can get literally like six,
even sometimes seven foot long,
so really cool snake.
I love these guys.
I always love them.
We actually reproduce albino greenish rats
that I think is really cool as well.
This clutch is one of the first clutches of colubers.
I was like "oh my god, I cannot wait!"
And it's actually just pipped out,
so these guys will probably be hatching out tomorrow.
These are the lavender snow Cal Kings.
That solid purple snake.
Now I know I hatch,
all ball pythons have like purple hues,
but these guys are literally purple.
I mean they are unbelievable.
Not out of the egg yet,
so probably by tomorrow we'll be able to show you guys.
Oh my gosh.
Am I excited.
So make sure you tune into tomorrow's vlog,
this is gonna be cool with those purple babies.
(electric music)
And just a few eggs in this clutch.
It's actually a pastel ghost,
which is the hypo ball python bred to a fire yellow-belly,
so really we could just get like firefly yellow-bellies
that are het ghost,
and stuff like that, nothing too crazy.
But you might notice that a lot of the breeding
that I'm doing this year is that entry level type of
pet-trait type thing, right?
I'm not going for things that are gonna be super expensive.
What I'm going for is things that you guys can afford
that are super cool looking,
but not gonna cost you a thousand dollars or more.
Now, don't get me wrong,
we're gonna have some of those out there.
But the majority of my breeding,
I've kinda wanted to have that ones
that you guys can afford that you can add
and stuff like that,
that just will make beautiful pets.
So, let's go ahead and see what's in this clutch.
Here's the first egg.
And here we go!
What do we have here?
Right off the rip.
Oh my gosh, look at that!
Oh doggy!
We hit the firefly yellow-belly het ghost
right off the bat guys.
So this is again,
this is the all gene animal,
it's also het ghost,
so that is a gorgeous snake!
That's exactly what I was hoping for.
Again, something that's not gonna be extremely crazy,
that's maybe a $250 snake,
maybe a $200 snake.
That's really where I wanna live, right?
I wanna live in this,
that beautiful, gorgeous snake
that pretty much most people can afford.
That's what I really wanna provide, right.
Because I don't do investment animals anymore.
I don't breed snakes from an investment standpoint,
I breed them because I want you guys
to be able to have really cool animals.
Egg number two.
All right, that was a great way to start the clutch.
And wait, we got something cool here again.
Oh my gosh, you gotta be kidding me!
Another firefly yellow-belly.
Woo doggy!
That's right.
Two firefly, yellow-belly het ghosts.
Odds can't get much better than that,
to hit all the genes in one.
Oh my gosh.
Last egg.
Wouldn't it be crazy if I hit all three of these?
Let's just go ahead and see what we got.
All right, here we go.
Wow, what an awesome day.
And we didn't hit the firefly yellow-belly,
but we did hit the firefly het ghost.
So we had two firefly yellow-belly het ghosts,
and one firefly het ghost.
That is pretty awesome odds for three eggs.
I cannot explain it.
Again, beautiful animals.
You guys are gonna love when they crawl out,
and as always, I'll update you as they hatch.
And then sometimes even something really simple here,
like a pastel enchi yellow-belly,
can just make for a gorgeous snake.
A lot of times, I always say,
it doesn't take five, six, seven genes.
Sometimes the right two or three genes together
just make for an incredible animal.
Remember that crazy clown clutch with the world's first?
Well this was actually the Enchi clown out of shed,
and woo doggy, I tell you that head pattern is ridiculous.
And I absolutely love the way this mojave clown turned out.
I mean that is so cool.
Those two genes together are unbelievable.
I mean that thing is so just kind of soft,
it's chocolate,
I mean it really looks like a chocolatey thing
that you could eat or something like that.
That thing is gorgeous.
And then, here's that world's first.
This is that banana enchi mojave clown ball python.
Unbelievable.
I mean look at that right there.
That is unreal.
So I'll continue to do this,
just update you guys as things shed,
show off some things like that.
Let me know in the comments if you want me to keep doing it.
(electric music)
In the dungeon,
which could only mean one thing,
well it could mean a couple things,
but it does mean this.
(singing) Egg time, egg time, egg time!
Egg time.
And today we have a fire ball python,
just gonna take this away right here.
Oh mama, looks like she is not happy for sure.
So I'm gonna be really careful,
and she was actually bred to a really cool male.
This red stripe, vanilla cream yellow-belly.
Oh my god! What a banger!
So these could be some pretty cool babies,
we're just gonna try to give mom off
without her getting too upset with me.
Oh, whoop.
Come on, mom, it's all right.
It's all right.
Oh! That's okay mama.
It's all right.
Oh my gosh, she's definitely giving me a run for my money,
I'm not gonna lie to you.
She's in a spot where I'm not sure how I'm gonna get her.
Woo!
(groans)
Okay, here we go!
We got her now.
Soon as we can start getting her moving she's good.
I'll just kinda set her aside, just try to get these eggs
out of here without her getting too upset with me.
And it's a beautiful clutch of eggs.
Wow, I tell you, what a clutch of eggs.
And interestingly enough, the fire gene was
the first kind of white snake
producing gene that was out there, right,
so the super fires are actually the black-eyed Lucy's
and a guy over in England actually produced
the very first black-eyed leucistic.
It made a huge, huge buzz in the reptile industry,
and now all these years later,
they're relatively common,
so it's pretty cool.
There's two, four, six, eight beautiful eggs,
and that is the only clutch ball pythons for the day.
(upbeat music)
More unboxing guys!
We have so much stuff to show you today.
I would think this would be a shirt.
This actually comes from Illinois.
- It's a shirt.
- Oh I know what this is!
He actually sent me a message,
and he said it was kind of a racy shirt.
He's like,
- Racy?
- "I hope you don't mind."
I don't know what it says.
- Can't be any racier than your cock shirt.
(laughs)
- Oh stop.
What does it say?
(laughs)
- "Wanna see my balls?"
(laughs)
It's not that bad.
- It's fine.
He just can't wear it at The Reptarium with children.
- Yeah, you know.
But it's not as bad.
When he sent me the thing I was like,
"oh my gosh, what is this gonna be?"
So that was actually cool.
I like it.
Thank you so much, I appreciate you man.
That's awesome, that's super cool.
Like I said, much much tamer than I expected.
I thought, I was thinking like,
"oh what is he gonna send us?"
Handle with care.
And this one comes from Canon Falls, Minneasota.
This says, "oh happy day!"
Long thing says,
"I watch your heart-felt video the other day on anxiety,
thank you so much. I have depression myself,
and I take medication to help.
I've been a practicing RM for 20 years,
and before the holistic approach as well,
I've enclosed a bracelet you can wear
and apply essential oils too with rocks and stones."
I love that, by the way,
I am so into it.
You guys know that, as a matter of fact,
I didn't show you, a friend of ours came from Ohio
and gave me this.
This is so incredible.
This has a drop of water from the top of Mount Everest,
and this is actually a drop of water from the Dead Sea.
And it's kinda the balance in life that I'm trying to see.
So, I love this, I will absolutely wear this.
- Yeah, this is awesome.
- Thank you so much.
This is from Stephanie Anderson.
So Stephanie, thank you so much, I will absolutely do that.
I'm a huge essential oils guy and lavender is great,
so what do you do?
Do you actually put it right on this?
Is that how it is?
- Let's see what she says, it probably says on the thing.
- Love it.
You will see me wearing this, I promise you,
thank you so much.
It certainly was a disappointment to see
that super Lori come out deformed.
I mean, I'll keep you guys posted if he kind of makes it.
We'll do the best we can do to give it his best home,
but that was a wild, wild thing.
I hope that you guys didn't mind me showing you that.
If you did enjoy this,
why don't you do this playlist right here?
It's a bunch of really good baby snakes.
That'll kind of cheer you up today if you don't mind.
Could you also do me a really huge favor?
