- This here is Breadloaf the Dumor's boy.
And you guys know that I love reptiles.
Everybody knows that.
The truth is, is that there's one reptile
that honestly freaks me out a little bit.
I'm not gonna lie about it.
And it's a little bit embarrassing, to be honest with you.
And guess what?
Today we're about to get one.
- I want to show you guys,
the latest addition to the reptarium.
I've been kind of on the fence about these guys for all.
And I know a lot of you guys, I said,
you need legless lizards. That's right.
This is actually a you're Asian legless lizard,
or sometimes what they would call a glass lizard.
I'll tell you a little bit more
about that in the meantime,
the reason I've been on the fence
about that is I'll be totally honest with you.
They kind of freak me out a little bit, right?
Cause they're like a snake, but they're actually a lizard.
Of course they have eyes. So they blink and stuff like that.
I think that's one of the things
that freaks me out a little bit is the fact
that it's a snake that has eyelids
that points at you.
And of course their tail starts right here.
So, the majority of the animal's actually tail,
of course with the snake you only have
that very tip is the tail.
So they're really cool.
And they are absolutely amazing animals, don't get me wrong.
It's going to be a great educational animal
for people to talk
about the evolution between snakes and lizards
and all kinds of different things like this.
These guys are actually native to Southern Europe
and over into central Asia.
There's a few different species of these guys as well.
Even in Lebanon,
they have one of the larger ones of this species.
That's kind of dark black,
but I've never really seen him in captivity.
They're really cool. Now, interestingly enough,
why they call them glass lizard is the fact this,
they will drop their tail.
Just like a lot of different lizards.
And sometimes the tail will actually segment into different
pieces.
Thinking like that it would actually shatter like glass.
That's the reason that they called glass lizards.
These are kind of a lot like the skinks that we work
with now, but a little bit different.
It's a little bit interesting.
They eat the kind of same thing, snails, some crustaceans.
They'll also eat all the same things
that our blue tongue skinks would eat.
But the thing that's interesting is
that the skinks are live-bearers.
These actually have eggs.
Believe it or not, they'll have eight to 10 eggs typically.
So, again, it's a really unique animal
and it is something
that I've always been a little bit freaked out by.
But I'm hoping now that I actually have one
that is in the reptarium,
they'll actually really enjoy it
and start to learn to love 'em.
I've got to admit it is pretty darn cool.
Ha, ha, doggie looking out big Ivy is getting oh,
and by the way,
welcome to the vlog reptilearmy.
I hope the start of your day is absolutely incredible.
Oh, and speaking of reptile army,
do me a favor go over to reptilearmy.com. Join the army.
I'm sure you'll appreciate it.
We're gonna have tons of new stuff coming your way soon.
So get on it reptailearmy.com.
As always, Jessica did an amazing job
of setting up this enclosure for this guy.
And I'm not gonna lie to you. They do freak me out.
There's no doubt about it, but he is pretty darn awesome.
I'm not going to lie.
I think the more that I get a chance to work With them,
the better I'm gonna feel about it.
And I have a feeling I'm gonna fall in love with them.
I mean, they're just such an unusual animal.
So incredibly good. By the way,
we do need the name for this little monkey.
So, down the comments,
what would a legless lizard or a glass lizard or whatever
you want to call 'em?
What would be a good name for this particular animal here?
I mean, look at how cool he is.
And I love the enclosure.
He seems to really be settling in, really good
and has all kinds of places to hide and climb,
all this stuff that a legless lizard would absolutely love.
So, definitely let me know
what name I should name this little monkey.
- Laura, I'm excited. I got something to show you.
You excited?
- I'd be nervous.
- [Brian] Nervous? Come with me.
(Laura laughing)
- [Brian] What are you laughing at?
- Definitely wasn't expecting that.
- [Brian] It's a flying.
It's a flying albino alligator.
- [Laura] Oh God.
- [Brian] This way I'm gonna know where salt is.
- [Brian] What?
It's good. Right?
- [Laura] Well.
- [Brian] I didn't do a very good job of putting it off.
It's wrinkly.
- You think that this is you have more experience now.
- [Brian] I'm trying, but look it.
- Did you read the directions?
- [Brian] There was no directions that came with it.
I'm getting better though, but there's more you ready?
- Yeah.
- [Brian] Okay, follow me.
- I don't know what they are ha, ha, ha!
- [Brian] Well, it's like, you know,
if you ever have a turtle head.
(Brian laughing)
- As always, we're trying to evolve
and get bigger and bigger and bigger here at the reptarium.
Even though Brian is thinking about 3.0,
we're stinking still think about 1.0 and 2.0 here
with a little expansion.
So, I got these bad boys here.
So, I went to the Schaumburg Illinois show
the NARBC, had met some, some really cool guys,
from Crosstown Exotics.
And they actually hooked me up with these cave cockroaches.
Now, we brought these in before.
These guys are a little more finicky.
They like a little bit less,
less light and a lot more water.
And man, they're cool as heck though, man.
I love these things so much.
Like they're, they're a little bit faster, but,
but anybody that's interested in holding them, they're not,
they're not going to bite you or hurt you.
They're quick, fast.
And they, and they're cool.
They're really cool. And I hope,
and I hope to actually get a lot more cool stuff,
just like this for you guys,
to be able to hold and interact with these are really,
really awesome.
- [Brian] Got a Kluber clutch.
And this is a pretty good one here.
This is actually a hemp hypo blood red corn snake
that is half for scale us, just wait to see what brought to.
I mean this thing is an absolute ripper.
This of course is a hypo diffuse or blood red corn
that scale us, I mean, take a look at that.
That is definitely one of my favorite scale of snakes
that we have.
I love the anuria and the ghost stuff too.
But man, that is an absolute ripper.
So, we can produce more of this stuff
in this particular clutch.
Let's see if mama has some good eggs.
Hopefully it looks like she does. And again,
she's just a normal looking corn snake, right?
She's just half for hypo she's half for blood red
or get what they would call the fuse
and then she's half for scale.
So, we'll get mama back in here, get her all cleaned up,
get her some fresh water, all that type of stuff.
It doesn't look like there's a couple sluggers in here,
but there, it looks like some good eggs as well.
So, just kind of pull these out one by one.
We'll go ahead and get these.
See what we got here.
Cause it looks like three little sluggers,
but the rest of the eggs actually looked pretty good.
So, we ended up having two, four, six, eight, nine,
10 beautiful eggs.
Can't complain about that. 10 good eggs.
Couple sluggers should be some banging babies
and Kluber should be hatching literally any day.
(steam blowing)
- You guys didn't know.
One of my guilty pleasures is definitely a sauna.
So, I have a sauna in my backyard.
I do it pretty much every single day because uh,
just helps me mentally kind of, and physically so,
but I got to tell you, it's sure it's hot.
But I have a remedy for that.
- And that's my reptarium cold tub.
This is actually usually at 47 degrees. 47 degrees.
Yeah, that's cold.
Let's get in.
Oh! Oh my gosh. That's cold.
That's cold guys. Oh yeah.
And it changes the temperature a lot.
So, I spend 10 minutes in the sauna.
I spending two minutes in the cold tub.
10 minutes in the sauna. Two minutes in the cold tub.
Whew!
I tell ya now, It'll wake you up.
Ooh, doggie.
I tell you what that is cold.
Yeah.
I don't know why I do this to myself.
It's ridiculous.
Minute and a half to go.
Oh my gosh, that's cold.
Back in the sauna.
- The second 10 minutes.
You sweat even more, two more minutes in the cool tub.
Let's go.
- Oh my gosh. You guys have no idea how cold this is.
It is like ice cubes in here.
But that's what the whole process is. Right?
It's hot, cold, makes your body up,
wakes you up all that good stuff.
So, could spend another minute in here.
And then I can head back to the shop.
And new man is revitalized and full of energy and yeah,
by the way, I know I've got a dad bod going on right now.
I'm working on it, and a Corona, you know,
it was a little bit tough on the lockdown.
So, please don't beat me up too much in the comments,
but woo doggie.
This is cold and I can't wait to get back to the shop
in 85 degree zoo weather.
- [Jessica] I got a crested gecko baby, ha, ha, ha.
So, we don't do as much with the crested geckos
as we do with the gargoyle geckos.
So, I get super excited
whenever we get a little crested gecko baby.
- This one's really cool too.
It actually doesn't look anything like the mom or dad, uh.
Mom is Colombia and dad is Riff Raff.
And Riff Raff is extreme harlequin
when he looks more like dark
with like creamy sides and a creamy dorsal.
And then mom is pretty much just all yellow
with a few dalmatian spots.
Now this one looks like a yellow harlequin maybe?
But I'm probably going to hold it back.
So, just so I can see what it ends up turning into.
- [Mike] Dude, dude, look, we've got a legless lizard.
- What? Is that first all?
- [Mike] It's a legless lizard.
- You know stuff about them?
- [Mike] Uh, they're also called glass lizards.
- Well, cool, you want to know what I know about it?
- [Mike] You don't like it?
- Yeah. I don't like it at all.
I watched one bite the heck out
of somebody sometime one time.
I don't really want to hold it at all.
- [Mike] I'll put it around your neck.
You can't just do that, cause that's his tail,
they can drop it.
- [Jay] Okay, hold on, hold that man.
- [Mike] So, you see with those little lines?
- Mike, hold it, hold it.
- [Jay] Okay. Let me stand up.
Just putting my hand, like a snake.
- [Mike] Yeah, just like this.
- Wow! Mike, take it back.
Take it back. Take it back.
Okay.
There you go.
- They don't move like a snake.
- But one time I was at the reptile show and somebody was,
somebody was holding it just like that.
And that is literally exactly what it did and it bit the
heck out of the guy.
And now I don't like legless lizards, there you have it.
So, if you guys want to meet this guy,
you're gonna have to come and see Mike at the reptarium,
because I can't help you with it. Sorry.
- We got a clutch of eggs right now.
This is actually a double hatch for albino clown.
And it's a big female right here.
And it looks like she's got a lot.
Whoop! Look at her! Whoop, whoa!
Mama's not happy. Yeah.
This is gonna be a fun one to pull.
And guess what she's bred too?
This beautiful albino clown ball python.
That's right. She's a double half for albino clown.
This is an albino clown, so down in the comments,
you know the game, what can I produce out of this clutch?
It looks like mama's unhappy. So let's go ahead and pull it.
And of course like always, we have a couple of clutches.
We're gonna pull today,
but we're gonna pull one or two of them over
on our patron page. So down the comments,
the link to the patron page,
you guys can see the other clutches,
but for now we're actually, oh my goodness gracious.
I don't think I've ever seen a female ball python act
this way.
I mean, how am I gonna get these eggs?
Okay. She moved away for a second.
All right, all right.
I might have a quick second to get her going to pull it out
just a little bit further. Ooh.
Till mama comes back around. Oh, she's mad.
She's mad. She's mad.
And they're fresh eggs. These guys just were late.
Oh, look at her, she is striking.
She's saying do not take my eggs.
I'm gonna have to go ahead and carefully get these two
and hopefully get the rest of the eggs out.
Oh my goodness, great whoa!.
Not another roller, can oh!. Can't look at her! Woo!
My goodness gracious girl. It's okay.
Come on girl. Come on.
You're right. You're right.
Okay, just get these eggs as quick as we can
without her going crazy.
Ahhh!
Oh! Yeah, these eggs are all over the place.
Like I said, we're gonna have to, oh, come on.
Whoa! Come on. Woo.
Woo.
Stop!
This is the hardest clutch of ball pythons
that I think I've ever pulled my entire life.
Okay. Like I said, eggs kind of all over the place.
So we're gonna go ahead and let her go.
She had two, four, six, eight, nine. Good job, mama.
I love you. I love you.
She doesn't love me at all. But if I get her cleaned up,
wash her up a little bit. She'll get that egg smell up.
Hopefully she'll take down. But I tell you what,
that's a beautiful clutch down the comments.
Let me know what I'm gonna produce. All right?
Got some cute baby ball pythons. All hatched out.
This is actually a pinstripe
that was bred to a black pewter cypress,
which is the black pewter is basically a pastel,
a black pastel, and then of course, the cypress ball python.
And we have some really cool kind of combinations here.
This is actually
what they would call a black pewter pinstripe right here.
We actually have another one right here.
That's a black pewter pinstripe as well.
And then we actually have a couple black pewter pinstriped.
cypresses,
now, the Cypress part is just a little bit cleaner,
little bit more silver has
that kind of striping down its back.
That's a little bit different.
So there's a lot of similarities,
but just slight differences
that cypress just cleans it up a little bit.
Makes it amazing.
This happens to be a black pewter cypress ball python,
I absolutely love this animal.
I think it's really, really dope.
That kind of orange that comes through makes it incredible.
This one happens to be a lemon blast,
cypress ball python right here. So again.
It's a pastel, it's a pinstripe and it's a cypress.
That just makes it super clean.
And then we've really just produced a couple of pinstripe.
Looks like this one might be a pinstripe cypress,
just because look at the striping down his back
and the cleanliness. Once it sheds out,
we'll have a much better understanding,
but nevertheless,
some cool little baby ball pythons hatch up, some beauties
and you guys know,
I love those silvery purple snakes like that.
I mean, they are absolute ripper.
So uh.
Can't wait till these guys shed out.
Cause when they shed they're gonna be hoo doggie.
They're gonna to be bangers.
So, I'll definitely update you
on those guys when they do shed.
I hope you guys enjoyed today's video.
If you did do me a favor right over here is a playlist of,
I don't know, baby snakes.
Why don't we just have that for today? Over here,
you can do me another favor and hit that subscription.
That means the world truly does have an absolutely wonderful
day reptile army.
Remember be kind to somebody and I promise,
I'll see in the next one.
