- Today I'm gonna be feeding
the entire reptile zoo cage by cage
starting with my big girl, Lucy.
Lucy, you wanna eat, girl?
There she goes.
Took a little bit of encouragement,
but she definitely took it.
Everything is gonna be fed well
and have big bellies by the end of the day.
- Including Mike.
- Next up is my girl Butterscotch.
Come on, girl.
Come on! Whoa!
Come on. One more.
One more. Whoa!
Oh, she got it from me.
Oh! There we go, girl.
Butterscotch is just absolutely so much energy.
Thought about when we're moving across the street
do we move her or not?
This is such an incredible cage
for an animal that shoots out like this.
She may actually end up staying here.
I don't know.
Let me know what you think in the comments.
Oh, do me a favor.
Hit that subscription button.
Ah, look at that.
Now, rats actually can cost up to $8 a piece.
It could go from like $2.50 depending on the size,
all the way up to eight bucks for a colossal rat.
And Jeffrey, when we feed him rats,
is gonna eat two or three rats.
Just some rats and mice alone today,
I'm gonna probably feed about six to $800 here.
- Here.
- No, just feed the thing, Mike.
- There's rat juice all over the floor now.
- He's gonna mop it or anything?
- Want me to jump the water?
- Mike, just come on. - Let's go.
So ridiculous.
I don't see today Mike.
I see 55, 80, 75.
You know what?
Yeah.
Just the way you talk.
- My mannerism?
'Cause I'm a man.
You know what time of the day it is.
Lunchtime, baby.
Oh, wait, I'm so dumb I unlocked the wrong one.
- There's actually no way that's real.
- [Mike] Come on, big boy.
Come on, come on, come on.
Come here. Up here.
Yeah, look at that.
Rat juice on the lens here.
- [Noah] Elvis. Lock on.
Drop off.
Oh, he got it!
That counts.
Good job, buddy boy.
- I don't think the long one works as well.
- Welcome to cooking with Connie.
Today we got some roaches and super worms to feed...
(Connie laughs)
- Can we just feed the lizards?
- Oh, he's ready.
All right, he's a good eater.
So ready?
Ooh, Cherry Pop will do this like neck swivel thing
to like help swallow it.
Shut up, Mike.
Gonna make her work for it.
I'm so sweaty.
You wanna feed him?
- Give me the tongs.
Let me show you how a pro does it, Connie.
- Okay, Mike.
- You want it, boy. Let's go.
- Oh, he took it right away.
He's kinda lazy.
- [Mike] His name's Flaming Hot Cheeto.
- Flaming Hot Cheeto, he kind of just,
yeah, that's why he's a big boy.
- Connie, that's what people say about me.
Cause I got spice to me.
Why is this so hard?
I'm just a professional.
- You've been doing it longer.
- The key ready, I figured just do it, you know?
- I remember when Sunrise was literally just a baby
eating frozen mice, and here she is now taking big rabbits.
He is an absolute beast there's no doubt about it.
Come on, girl. Come on.
There you go, sweetheart.
She's getting bigger and bigger.
The only downside I would say,
if there's any downside to her, she's getting so big now
that it's a little bit more difficult to take her out
and she's only gonna get bigger.
But still, she's so absolutely amazing.
She's gonna definitely have to get an enclosure
in the new place on the bottom.
Big enclosure so that we can just go in
and get her out instead of lifting her up from here.
I tell you, she is beautiful.
- We're doing Toothy?
- Toothy.
- Come on, Toothy.
Keep moving at the camera.
- I'm gonna throw this to you,
you try to catch it with your tong.
Three.
Oh!
Feed it, feed it, feed it!
- Look at that.
- Oh! He's on X Games mode.
Come on.
Go open and sailing into the mouse.
Yay!
(tongs clacking)
Let's get all the lizards out at the same time.
- That sounds like a terrible idea.
- Why?
It'll be so much fun throwing rodents around
and gamble and see who can eat the most.
- No.
I kinda just used the wrong key to open it. (laughs)
(Mike babbles)
(Connie babbles)
Tiana, come here. Come here.
Oh no!
- [Noah] Oh, Mike, you done did it now.
- [Connie] You don't want them to escape.
- Oh, they're going all over the place.
You just let Brillo out.
- It's all right. We got it.
We just don't anybody drop this.
- Does Lori watch the log every-
- [Mike] Shh!
I don't know what happened.
It just slipped.
Why am I holding the roaches?
- [Noah] I can't believe that it's twice.
That's the same thing.
- Stop making me laugh, dude.
It makes it hard to hold.
Oh, hey girl.
ET, looky, looky.
You want that?
You act like you never get fed.
- [Brian] When it comes to bugs, we actually feed
almost every single day here.
So when it comes to a week's worth of bugs,
we can spend anywhere from a thousand to $1,500.
But today we're probably feeding about $200.
- Noah, look at that.
Look at the waterfall.
I call that the double decker.
- Heat pits aren't activated.
They don't even have heat pits.
- You don't even know what a snake is.
That's how you feed a snake, Mike.
What'd you say?
- Every time, Jake.
Oh crap, that was crazy.
- Wow, guys, that was super rad.
Is he gonna miss?
Oh, look at it.
That's a perfect shot.
Wait, don't touch it.
Hold on.
- [Mike] He puts a ring on it.
- [Jake] Mike, shut the flip off.
- It's cool.
Did you see him?
Did you see how cool it is?
- It's funny.
As soon as the Anaconda smell that there's food in the air,
they act completely different.
Ivy was just over here.
She went in the water 'cause she know she's getting fed.
And then look at Ariana right here.
We actually feed Ariana first.
Come on, girl.
- Here you go.
- And then I'm gonna actually take Ariana out
so that they don't interfere with one another.
And then of course Ivy.
Ready, girl?
Mike always loves it when I feed the Anacondas
'cause what happens is about
two or three days after they eat,
they poop literally constantly for about a week.
Mike is gonna have to clean everything up.
- Just like that.
- And I'm talking a lot about what's gonna happen
across the street when we do the expansion.
I'll have an update on that relatively soon.
But of course, Ivy will definitely head on over there.
Ariana can actually stay here and get big in this enclosure
because Ivy's enclosure's gonna be even bigger.
A bigger water feature and stuff like that over there.
That way Ariana can actually eat in the water
just like Ivy does.
It doesn't have to be taken out
and separated during feedings.
- They don't have names yet,
but they're baby frilled lizards.
- They're not the Spice Girls.
- They are the Spice Girls.
- [Connie] But I guess we could just throw it home.
- [Mike] Well, he ripped his own leg off.
- [Connie] Look at you.
Eat it.
Ooh, good job.
- These guys are getting big.
Obviously, these are the baby frilled lizards,
Nova and Lilith.
They're about two and a half months old now, right?
- They were born just a little bit
before I started actually.
So I've watched them grow up since they were teeny tiny.
- Yeah, about two and a half months ago.
Speaking of Nova and Lilith.
- Never missed a beat.
- I've practiced down for a while.
- Nova?
Really?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Are you serious?
Okay. Okay.
- [Mike] Don't fall backwards.
- That was easy.
Here you go, Nova.
Yeah, there you go.
Lilith, can I get a hey yo.
- Oh yeah.
Get in there and try to feed her.
She needs some more calories.
She's a single mother.
I'm so hungry.
- You're not gonna leave me in here.
It's hot.
- [Noah] You like that?
You like that?
- Got issues.
Come on, Mr. Robbins.
There's a good boy.
Dominican bred mountain boa.
- Where are they from?
- Dominica.
- What color are they?
- Like brown, tan, red.
Here she got a red shine to it.
- Where are they from?
- Whoo.
I got big t-shirt Billie Eilish, glug, glug, glug.
- Never done this before.
Whoo.
- [Noah] Glug, glug, glug.
- Black tug. - Big T-shirt.
- Big T-shirt.
- Billie Eilish.
But you have to say it with a British accent.
(Noah farts)
- [Connie] Oh my gosh!
- Oh my God!
Noah, smells like sugar and cinnamon.
- [Jake] That's Brian's favorite.
- Why?
- [Mike] Just smell it.
Come on, come on, come on.
Look, look, yeah.
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
This is so awesome.
Get the mouse, get the mouse.
He's doing great.
(upbeat music)
I thought he was calm, Jake?
- That was exhilarating.
It didn't work at all.
- You know how quick he calmed down though?
He's getting better.
- As Lucy is starting to eat, I wanna give you a breakdown
of what it costs me to basically feed the whole reptile zoo.
It costs a lot of money per week
because rabbits aren't cheap.
You're looking at somewhere between two and $4 per pound.
That is actually a seven pound rabbit
so it's roughly about 25 to $30 plus shipping.
That meal right there, and she's gonna eat
two of them by the way, is gonna cost me about 60 bucks.
And you gotta remember
we're feeding tons of rabbits off today.
It's gonna cost us about $600 just in rabbits.
Ned is always a little bit spooky
'cause he gets really excited about food.
Here you go, bud.
If he misses, I think there's a little bit
of gun shy in me too because to be honest with you
when I was younger, I used to have
40 or 50 big Burmese pythons
and I used to always feed 'em by myself.
Just they would miss sometimes,
and I got bit more times than I want to actually admit.
So far I've been doing really good.
The last time I've been bit by a big snake
was Perdida probably almost a year ago.
I think Night Fury's ready.
Whoa, whoa!
It's biting the enclosure.
Come down over here, over here.
Come on, follow me.
Whoo. Okay.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Whoo, whoo, whoo.
I tell you what, that snake is ridiculous.
- What's up, man?
Where'd you get your new Reptile Army shirt?
- Why is it sticky?
- It touched my nose.
- Long night.
- [Jake] Jesus!
Ice Cube.
- Ice Cube?
What the hell happened to his name?
- What was his name?
- Rihanna, or whoever made the "Diamond" song.
- It was a good name.
- Ice Cube? - Yeah.
- Let us know down in the comments
if you think Ice Cube's a good name.
- The diamond python. - The diamond python.
- [Noah] Shine bright like a diamond.
Where is it? - Yeah, but it's a boy.
- Get that (beep).
- I saw both of you!
- No way.
- There's glass.
- I would never hit your butt.
- Stop it!
- [Noah] Balls in that one.
- Stop it.
You guys feed it.
Feed 'em rabbits
- Where is the head at?
- I'm trying!
Don't get my hand!
Peace out, guys.
(Mike laughs)
Well, that was a delicious lunch.
You know that Portillos.
I guess it's time to let Connie out.
- Oh my.
- Come on out.
- I'm one with the frilled lizards.
- Yeah, she's going back.
My name's Connie with the sting, but I fly like a bee.
- Unleash the beast here.
He's a little feisty so you gotta be careful.
Did you not hear me scream one time
when I was feeding him while you were on the toilet?
- One time?
How about every day?
- Ah, he's running.
Oh, Caramba.
- [Mike] Don't pull away.
- Okay, okay. I'm sorry.
I got this under control, Mike.
- [Mike] Oh, he's got his eyes closed again.
- [Connie] He's not even thinking where he's going.
- [Mike] That's also my fingers.
Look, dum-dum. - There you go.
- See, now the trick is, Connie, when you're doing this,
see how fast he eats it?
Just keep 'em coming.
- [Connie] Is that a piece of coat?
- Nope, it's just bugs, Connie.
- Wow, Mike. - Just feed him like a train.
- You have the touch.
- Just remember everything you do, I do better.
See how easy this is?
- Yeah, super easy. - Like a calm, easy breeze.
And then you just set him on the ground and look,
he gets some enrichment chasing his prey.
Wha-bam! Corners it.
Get him! Get him!
You gotta make 'em work for it like one of these.
That's how it's done, baby. - That's dangerous.
- No, no, I don't (indistinct).
- Whoa, you see how cool that was?
- Ow, my leg.
- Let's get him away from you.
Come to his cage, come to his cage.
- Get off of me, man.
- He loves you.
Oh, he's so cute.
He's such a good dragon.
- I think he pierced my nipple.
- That was awesome.
- [Mike] My nipple hurts.
- That's what you like.
- You gotta make him smell it so he smells the rubber.
Look, Denny knows it's food time.
You're giving him food versus just reaching in there.
Can't smell rubber so don't wear rubber glove.
Boom, bud. Perfect.
Just constant a lot.
That's what constant means, right?
Can somebody Google that?
- Constant?
- Yeah, is it like the motion of doing something
repetitively over and over and over and over and over?
- Probably.
- Yeah, we're on the same page.
- [Brian] Monitors cost a lot of money
because they eat a lot of different meat,
and we have to continue to vary it up.
In the course of any day,
we're probably feeding somewhere
between a hundred and $200 worth of food to our monitors.
- [Noah] Oh my goodness!
That was insane.
- [Mike] He's happy.
- Did you see that?
- And people ask why we're scared of him sometimes.
Do you see how fast he is?
- He was run jumping at me.
- That was a dolphin.
- Make it good, Mike.
You hear it?
- Yeah, it claps like an alligator.
Almost like it's called a crocodile monitor for a reason.
Let's go eat some food.
- And speaking of that girl, Perdida,
that got me last time, I try to get it
where she doesn't come up at me.
Come on, girl.
There we go. There we go.
Ah, there it is.
Right up in the vines, absolutely incredible.
Again, you see retics in the wild eating like this?
Absolutely incredible.
I've heard stories of retics
literally hanging from trees
in the Philippines and Indonesia
just waiting for something to walk underneath,
and they just snatch it up and they coil it up.
As a matter of fact, I don't even know if it's true,
but I've heard it happens in the Philippines sometimes
with people in canoes where they just snatch people
right outta the canoes.
That could be a wives tale.
I don't know.
Google it, I guess.
Come on, buddy.
Oh, look at that.
That's right.
That is the entire reptarium fed.
This just cost me about $2,500 of food
just for today feeding.

- [Noah] Don't turn around.
That's why.
- [Connie] There's a wild bear.
- Oh, that was a good one.
