- Well guys, (upbeat music)
it's five o'clock in the morning
and we're off on another adventure.
This adventure's gonna take us down to North Carolina.
I'm meeting up with Jimmy from MrBeast again,
so I'm gonna pack up a few snakes and hit the road.
It's a 13-hour drive.
Let's go ahead and do this.
Guess we're watching the sun come up today.
(baby chuckling)
Been on the road for a couple hours.
The sun is coming up.
Looks like a pretty beautiful day to be honest with you.
Again, it's a long drive, but it's gonna be a fun drive.
I always love hanging out with the guys from MrBeast,
so it's gonna be really fun.
I can't really tell you exactly what we're doing yet,
you'll have to watch his video to see that one,
but let me tell you what, it's gonna be an amazing time.
We'll keep on checking back
what's going on at The Reptarium.
- [Jimmy] I mean, look at him.
He's already rock and rollin'.
He's ready.
He knows the drill.
Look at him, don't bite me, guy, geez.
Here's your little ball, and here's your little things.
Here you go.
Not my finger.
Here's the ball.
What was that?
Keep that.
There you go, there you go.
Look at that.
Look at that, he's taking it out of my hand.
Like this thing is so cool!
(Jimmy laughing)
- [Man] It's ferocious, dude!
- [Jimmy] He is vicious.
Super vicious.
Don't get my hand, don't get my hand.
Don't get my hand, guy.
All right, there's your ball, there's your ball.
Oh yeah, you bit the ball.
Good job, buddy.
Here you go,
eat the food.
What is up with you, dude?
Take it.
(Jimmy grunting)
There you go, all right.
Holy cow, man.
The bite pressure on that thing is insane.
I be like, you just feel it and you're just,
you immediately feel that pressure down on the thing.
It was like, man, I can't take this from him.
Ooh, whoa, whoa, watch, not my finger.
You're going it.
You get it.
Yeah!
He did it!
- So just got some interesting news,
we actually first heard that the shoot
was gonna get delayed,
because there was some issues going on.
So we kinda hung out for a few hours,
and then got the call back that said
that the shoot was actually gonna be completely canceled.
So we drove 13 hours down here,
and now we're not shooting with MrBeast.
We are gonna get it rescheduled,
so that'll be absolutely amazing.
But unfortunately, the trip was here for nothing.
We're gonna make some lemon juice out of lemons
and go try to find something else.
Definitely disappointed,
definitely a long trip to not get a shot
just film with MrBeast,
but hey, what can you do?
But let's try to make the best of the day as much as we can.
You know me, if there's an animal adventure to be had,
I'm gonna do it.
So before we head home,
we're actually gonna stop by a little zoo
that's just up the road and check out their animals,
and then, we'll actually get on the road.
I just can't get my animal fix,
you know how that goes.
So we're at a place called "It's a Zoo Life,"
and it's pretty cool.
So, actually we went in, talked to some people
and they're gonna give us like a private tour.
We're gonna meet some animals.
It's a really cool little place.
They only do private tours.
So they're not open to the public
without doing a private tour.
On days like today,
they do two a day at 10 o'clock and 1 o'clock.
But thankfully, they're gonna take care of us
and have us walk around.
So I'll just find the people,
we're gonna go in
and meet some cool animals. (birds chirping)
- This is the newest member of our reptile barn.
- [Brian] Oh, it's an albino tegu.
- He is an albino tegu.
- [Brian] That's a beautiful one.
- He is still not holdable-friendly.
- [Brian] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- We've just really been doing a lot of loving on him-
- Yeah. - Trying to hand-feed him,
things like that. - [Brian] Yeah.
- Our adult tegus, we can handle them really well,
but we just got him. - [Brian] Look at this giant-
- Skink.
- Indo skink. - Yeah!
- Brian, look at the size of that thing.
- [Brian] That is a giant!
- That's a potato right there.
- [Zookeeper] Yeah.
This guy was actually another donation.
He lived with a family for a really, really long time.
- [Bearded Man] Have you ever see one that big?
- Yeah. - No,
that's a giant one there.
- [Zookeeper] He eats really well.
He never, ever, ever turns down food.
- [Brian] Of course, you got
a little blue-eyed leuci here. - Oh, sorry baby.
Yeah, this is our leucistic ball python.
This is Pamela Anderson.
- [Brian] Ah, Pamela Anderson.
I like it, I like it. - Blue eyes,
we just couldn't resist with that girl.
The kids loved her.
She's awesome!
- [Zookeeper] This is Gabbana- - [Brian] Look at that.
- She's an excellent girl.
She loves children. - Oh my gosh!
- She's so friendly.
Even when she's shedding,
she still lets us interact with her.
She is just an absolute rock star-
- [Brian] She looks beautiful.
- And she's such a good girl.
My sister used to take naps with her.
She actually will get up all up underneath the pillows-
- [Brian] Yeah, yeah.
- And she will totally chill with you.
- [Brian] Skinny pigs are so cute,
have you ever seen a skinny pig?
- I've never seen one before.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh, these are the coolest things
in the world. - Oh my God!
- Yeah, they look like little-
- [Brian] Hippos.
- Hippos, correct. - Exactly.
- And this is a young couple.
We just got them. - Oh look at how cute.
- [Zookeeper] We plan on breeding them.
- Oh my gosh. - They're adorable!
- Yup. - They are.
And they only have hair on their nose.
Poor things.
(Brian laughing)
- [Brian] So cute!
- [Zookeeper] We have spent a lot of time
really just loving on him. (birds chirping)
We tell the kids to use their inside voices with him
and he, as you can see,
is coming around really, really nicely.
- [Brian] Aw, he is so adorable.
- [Zookeeper] But we're just very slow and we're very soft,
and he's not a fennec fox, he's a pale fox.
- [Brian] Yeah, yeah.
- And so his ears are smaller. (birds chirping)
- [Brian] Yep, smaller than a fennec's ear.
- But he does need them to catch mice,
and I do love a good mouse.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh, he is so cute!
- And when we first got him, he was very scared.
It's okay, good boy, good boy.
- [Brian] It's okay.
- Good job, I'm just gonna reposition him.
- [Brian] There you go.
- It's okay.
Good job, good job,
good job.
But he was very scared,
he spent long periods of time hiding from us,
running from us, and you would expect the fox to do.
- [Brian] Yeah, but he seems to have calmed down so well.
- Yeah, yeah, he's doing beautifully.
- [Brian] You guys have done a good job with them.
- You ready to go back in your thing?
- Back at it guys with my friends over at Raycon,
that's right.
You guys know that I love The Everyday E25.
I mean, Raycon is an amazing company,
I've been using 'em.
You guys know for like over a year and a half,
the same ones that I've had
for a year and a half for every single day.
And now that it's summertime, it's even better.
You know, I like to go on walks.
I like to be out in nature,
and it's really cool to have noise-isolating earbuds
that are super comfortable and lasts
for up to six hours on one charge.
And with this cool little carrying case,
you can actually charge 'em for additional time.
So that's up to 32 hours of charge time
before you even have to plug one in.
That's a lot of time.
Raycon earbuds started about half the price
of other premium wireless earbud brands,
and sound just as amazing as other top audio brands.
So I've been going crazy listening to tons of podcasts,
audio books,
and this is absolutely the way to go.
I have been telling you forever,
they are absolutely amazing product.
And I know that you guys are gonna love 'em.
As a matter of fact,
with people like Mike Tyson and Snoop Dogg liking 'em,
come on now, you know it!
Raycon offers wireless earbuds
in a range of colors and patterns
with a variety of fit options
and no dangling wires or stems.

Trust me guys, you go over there now
and you will not regret it.
And for some reason you don't like 'em,
which isn't gonna happen by the way,
they do have a 45-day free return policy.
But trust me, (dejected music)
no one's using that return policy
'cause these guys are absolutely incredible.
- This is Ivy Blue, (bouncy music)
she's our kinkajou.
- Oh my gosh! - Ivy Blue kinkajou?
- Yes. - Oh my God!
- [Zookeeper] And she, of course, is nocturnal.
And so she likes to get in your shirt-
- Hm-hmm. - Because she wants
to get back to bed.
- [Brian] She's like, "Give me some sleep."
- But yeah, we've raised her from a bottle.
And so she's very friendly. - Aw!
Yeah, 'cause sometimes these can be naughty.
- These guys can be a handful.
It's like a little tiger.
- [Brian] Yes.
- And she is spayed at three months old as well.
So that's very, very helpful. - Oh, that helps, yeah.
- She's getting close to that year mark,
and she's still a very good girl
and she's got her death grip on me right now.
(Brian laughing)
She has that prehensile tail,
so she has no problem hanging on with that thing.
- [Brian] Well, I mean, oh my gosh.
- But she is a great critter,
and their nickname is Honey Bear.
They have that yellowish coloration underneath them,
but they love sweets.
We do have to be strict on her sweets,
however, because...
- Yeah, that rots her teeth out.
- Well, she'll become a diabetic-
- [Brian] Yep, that's true.
- Just like people.
And even though she looks like a monkey,
she's in the raccoon family.
- Oh my God, you're such a silly.
Look at this thing.
Of course, a kinkajou, I love kinkajous,
but normally, I'll be totally honest with you,
I haven't seen many that have been this docile.
You know, some can be pretty good,
but you could just tell the work that these guys
put into the behavior here is absolutely ridiculous.
Because every animal we look at is just so docile,
so socialized, and that's a big credit.
We've been to a lot of places, you guys know that,
this place is right up there
with one of the coolest places I've been,
especially when it comes to the animals.
Of course, it's a nocturnal animal.
It's going into my shirt because it's like,
"I wanna go ahead and sleep, all right?"
So, which is completely fine, but I'll just, you know?
If it climbs in, I'll just leave
and they won't even know I have it.
Hey Lamar, what are you doing?
(Zookeeper murmuring)
- Yup.
So he's just gonna hop to your shoulders,
so if you guys would like-
- Absolutely! - You're welcome to hold him.
- Oh my gosh, yes.
I got Lamar, the ring-tailed lemur,
of course, a prosimian.
Kind of a primitive primate basically is what it is, right?
And they are absolutely beautiful.
I love their claws, right? - Yeah.
- They're like super soft.
And almost like a rubbery. - Sticky fingers.
- Yeah, I love 'em.
They're just so cute.
Where you at?
Here you are, buddy.
Oh my God.
- [Zookeeper] Yeah, he has frog fingers.
- Hi, bud.
Yup, you see the camera?
You being like, "Hey, it's my turn to shine."
- [Bearded Man] You're gonna be a star.
- Oh my gosh, she's so cute. - And we do joke about,
he is our "eat it, eat it lemur,"
not the "move it, move it."
- Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah! - He just loves to eat.
He's not very active compared to his friend Zumi,
who's very active. - Very active?
- [Zookeeper] He just likes to eat.
And so our younger children that whole time
we tell them that they have to like bend down
and let 'em sit in between their shoulders,
'cause he's got a big old booty.
- Yeah. (Brian laughing)
- And he sometimes,
he looks at those little kids like,
"Oh honey, I know I can't be it."
(all laughing)
It's not gonna work. - I'm so happy,
I don't know what's going on right now.
(all laughing)
- So Zumi is your average lemur.
He's funny over his face, he's funny over
who's into his face, - [Brian] Yeah.
- Which in the wild, that's important.
You wouldn't wanna jaguar.
You don't tryna eat your babies, right?
So you're gonna be funny. - Right, of course.
- Taking my hat.
- [Zookeeper] Lamar is very odd,
he's about six years old now.
And that territorial gene has just never struck him,
so he's still very friendly. - This is incredible.
- This is our marsupial pen.
We have four Western red kangaroos.
- Yeah, reds.
Yeah, big male. - Buddy is the leader
of our mob, he's almost 10 years old.
- [Brian] Yeah.
- [Zookeeper] And so he only has males in his mob.
Everyone is neutered. - Oh, really? Okay.
- It really helps when they're interacting
with children that they're not
very territorial. - Okay.
Yeah, territorial, yup.
- [Zookeeper] So, Roger is one of our youngest,
he's a year and a half.
All these guys have been bottle-fed.
All of them were pouch-raised here-
- [Brian] Oh really?
- For a whole year,
they're pouch for a year,
and so we take 'em everywhere just like kids.
- Oh my gosh! - Go to Disney World,
you take a kangaroo. - That's awesome!
- Go to the restaurant, (Brian laughing)
you take a kangaroo.
- [Brian] Okay, buddy.
- [Zookeeper] Yeah, Johnny Cash!
- [Brian] Hi, Johnny Cash!
- And they do have really large blood vessels in their arm-
- Hm-hmm. - And so they lick their arms
and they'll put 'em in their water bucket,
it helps keep 'em cool during the day.
- [Brian] Oh, that's so cool,
Johnny Cash. - And so that's his way.
And he's still is on a bottle,
Johnny Cash is being weaned
- Oh yeah. - Off of this bottle.
- How old is he? - So, he will pouch.
- Bout a year or so? - He's about seven
or eight months old now.
- [Brian] Oh, seven or eight months.
Okay, yeah.
Come on over.
Here you go, buddy. (people murmuring)
There you go, bud.
I'm in love.
I love capybaras, they're so cute!
You're amazing.
You are the cutest, most amazing thing ever.
These are some gray wolf malamute hybrids,
absolutely incredible.
I mean, wow!
What absolute beautiful animals.
They are so beautiful.
And the eyes on the one with the two different color eyes.
But I'll be honest with you,
this one here, I just got my heart.
I mean, she is a sweetheart.
Oh, I love you too.
(girl laughing) I love you too, I promise.
It's not just that,
I love you both.
Yes, you guys are such beauty.
You guys know that we have been to a lot of places,
private zoos, public zoos, you name it.
I tell you what, this place is like the dream.
If I lived in a place where I could do an outdoor thing,
this is exactly what it would be like.
The thing that I'm so impressed is like,
how much you could tell.
Number one, they love the animals.
In most places that keep animals love their animals,
but I mean, the enclosures are super cool.
Each one is an individual.
Plus the behavior of the animals is so incredible,
it's like they're obviously spending
a tremendous amount of time
with each type of animal
so that the interaction that the kids
and their patrons are having are like no other.
And that's the thing.
Again, you guys know,
I'm all about interactions,
I'm all about doing things that you can't do elsewhere.
Well, this is it.
I mean, from a mammal standpoint,
you could do a lot of the things
that you can't do at other places.
So if you're ever in North Carolina,
you gotta look this place up.
I'm gonna put link in the descriptions.
It is absolutely amazing.
I mean, I'm so glad.
I thought we're just gonna come here
and just spend like 5 or 10 minutes,
but it's been a blast.
I don't even wanna go, I just wanna keep
and hang out here and play all day long.
This place is absolutely incredible.
- The alpacas are (indistinct),
that there's a fan in here.
So they're all about that.
This is Junibee.
This is her during the day.
And this isn't her enclosure.
And there is her little nose.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh.
So this is a lesser anteater?
- Yes, this is a tamandua.
- [Brian] Tamandua, yup, yup.
- So she's like a forest anteater.
- [Brian] Exactly.
Yeah, got ya, tamanduas are...
- [Zookeeper] Do you wanna come out and say, "hi?"
Her toenails are like- - Yeah, claws, yeah.
- Can openers.
- Yeah. - So we do have
to be very careful with her toes.
There we go, there she is.
Hi, big girl.
- [Brian] This is the one that I remember seeing
the video of me almost getting
my lip get rip off? - Yeah, yeah.
- [Brian] That's a tamandua.
- Yeah, you gotta be careful.
She gets the death grip going.
Good girl. (anteater cooing)
You're gonna come on out for us, Junibee?
- Look at that tongue. - Oh, there's her tongue.
There's her tongue!
She sleeps a lot
just like a sloth. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [Zookeeper] She's nonstop taking a nap.
So a lot of people don't even realize she's in here.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. (Brian laughing)
This is actually a little baby Arctic fox.
I mean, look at this thing.
It's absolutely incredible.
It's so beautiful.
And, of course, it's gonna go
through the color change at about what age?
- Right, correct.
So before he's a year old. - Before he's a year old?
- You'll start seeing him changing slowly.
But you know, they also change through the season.
- Yup, in the summertime, they go back, yup.
- He'll be darker in the summer,
he'll be white in the winter, yeah.
- Exactly. - So he'll change.
- [Brian] He is so adorable.
- And he actually hollers when we put him up.
He'll go.
(zookeeper imitates fox hollering)
Yes, yeah. - Oh my God.
- And you're like, "What is that?"
- Go, Coco.
Yeah!
Go, Coco.
How cool is that, dude? (people laughing)
Yeah, this has been awesome.
- [Brian] That's a Flemish or?
- Yes, he is!
He's a baby Flemish giant rabbit.
(handle clanging)
- Yeah. - His name is Peter.
- Yeah. - Of course 'cause-
- [Brian] Yeah, Peter!
Yeah, man.
- What else would you name a giant Flemish rabbit?
- [Brian] Oh my gosh, they're amazing!
Of course the giant Flemish, you know?
They can get like 25 pounds. - Right.
- [Brian] So this guy's still a little baby.
- He is, he is!
I think he's about six months old.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh,
it's amazing! - Yes, he is.
I'm gonna be a baby boy.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh, I love 'em.
They're so cute.
- He's very handsome and he's actually really playful.
He's really, really good.
He's a good boy.
There's Gabriel.
- [Brian] Hey, Gabriel!
- [Zookeeper] Come say, "hi", to you guys.
- Hi, Gabriel! - And they were bottle babies,
so they do not believe in personal space, of course.
- [Brian] Oh, that's okay.
- Here we have some of our silky chickens-
- [Brian] Oh, I love silky chickens.
- We have our baby Polish hens.
- Yeah. - I have a female Polish
at home and we've had her for seven years now.
And it's so hard to find them.
These guys actually came in from Illinois.
- [Brian] Oh, okay.
- 'Cause we're hardcore Polish people around here.
(zookeeper laughing) - Oh, so am I!
Barczyk is my last name.
- [Zookeeper] He is our largest tortoise,
he is our oldest.
The vet has guesstimated him
to be about 40 years old.
You know, the tortoises, just like a tree trunk.
When you cut a tree trunk,
the amount of rings around the shell is how old he is.
But these guys can get pretty big,
they can get about the size
of a car tire. - Right, yeah.
- And they can live to be about 200 years old.
- [Brian] Yeah.
- So of course, we always joke with people,
"When you see those cute little tortoises-
- Yeah. - At the pet store,
make sure your kids, their kids,
and possibly their kids are ready-
- Yeah. - To have a dinosaur-
- Yeah, exactly. - Because they live forever.
- What an absolutely amazing time.
Turns out these guys had a show on TLC
called "My Wild Life."
Who would've known?
I mean, what are the chances I just saw?
I gotta do an animal adventure,
come here, had an amazing time, such hospitality.
I mean, I hate to have to hit the road,
but we gotta get back to our zoo.
So let's just go ahead and pack up and hit the road.
Driving down the street,
headed home and I saw this place,
and look at these cool fire mantles here.
I mean, I love places like this.
Lori absolutely does too.
So I just had to stop and take a look.
(upbeat music)
So I'm tryna think of something that I can buy for Lori,
'cause I know she loves this stuff.
And I looked at these lanterns,
I like 'em, but I don't know Lori liked 'em so much.
So hopefully I could find something that she would love
'cause she would go crazy in a place like this.
(exhales deeply)
So we actually are part of the way home,
but we had to stop just to get some rest.
We'll drive the rest away tomorrow.
So I figured, I'll take my big girl out.
Just spend a little bit of time with her.
You know, she needs to get out of the tub.
You know what I mean?
So a little crawling around time is gonna be good for her.
I'll be honest with you, this is awfully cool.
I love it.
I mean, she's such a good girl,
she's done so well.
Everyone loved her to death,
there's no doubt about it.
So I guess I just sleep with her like this, right?
I mean, and just think about that,
next time you're in a hotel,
you never know when the guy in the next room
has a 20-foot snake just hanging out in the bed.
You know what I mean?
That may sound weird,
but regardless, gonna just spent some time with her.
She's amazing.
And like I said, I probably just let her kinda crawl around.
Why not, right?
Just don't tell the hotel.
So obviously,
up and just getting ready to head out.
My girl's been out all night and she's been good,
she didn't really cause any issues.
She kinda just hung out with me every time
I hear kinda cruising around at night,
knocking into something.
I would just go over, put her in the bed,
and she just hung out with me.
So yeah, time to wake up.
But we have about a 5-hour drive to get home
and then this girl gets back in her cage.
So, okay girl, you ready to go?
Hate to put her back 'cause she's so awesome, you know?
But she needs to go back on her tub
so we can get on the road.
So, all right, let me get ready.
Let's get outta here.
Take a look at this, guys.
Right in the middle of the road
is a little Eastern box turtle.
Of course, if we can't get this guy across the road,
he may get run over this way.
So a little hint, you guys,
is that if he's going across the road this way,
don't ever put 'em back that way,
because he's just gonna come back across again.
I'm just gonna set him as far over here as possible,
off the road, to keep him safe.
But how cool is that?
I think that's the first little bait.
I think that's the first Eastern box turtle I've ever saved.
So that feels pretty good.
Let's get back on the road.
Tomorrow, we're actually gonna be down in Gatorland.
That's right, another adventure starts, right?
So if you guys wanna come hang out with me.
Wednesday, the 14th, go ahead and head down to Gatorland.
I'm gonna be there from probably like 9 in the morning
to probably 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
Again, Gatorland, Orlando.
Come visit me, come find me.
We run around having an absolute great time.
So if you live in the area, if you wanna come see me,
come check it out, I will have an amazing time.
Love Gatorland.
That's my Disney World when it comes to Florida.
So go ahead,
if you're in the area, come see me, we'll have a blast.
So back from that long adventure,
and again, things work out that way.
It's like, no one could've predicted what was gonna happen.
And I can't wait to get back down work
with Jimmy at MrBeast and the whole crew down there.
I love those guys to death,
and although it was definitely a long drive
and a little bit disappointing,
the fact is is that we found a really cool place to go to.
And we kind of, again,
we made lemonade out of lemons, right?
So things worked out good.
Now we can get our big girl back into her enclosure.
(Brian grunts) Come on, big mama.
Oh, she is such a good girl.
And she was such a good travel companion.
And quite frankly, she did good.
Hanging out, sleeping with me in the hotel.
I mean, I tell you what I could have done a lot worse.
There's no doubt about that,
but regardless, (Brian laughing)
I hope you liked today's video.
If you did, do me a favor,
here's a playlist right over here.
You mind hitting one or two of those two videos?
It would help me a lot.
What else would help me is right over on this side,
you can hit that subscription button.
Remember to be kind to someone today,
have an absolutely amazing day Reptile Army.
And I promise, I'll see you in the next one.
