- Today is the day (upbeat music)
I am so excited.
We're about to unbox--
There it is. Oh my gosh!
A couple baby albino alligators.
Salt has been such a huge part of the reptile zoo.
Ever since the day we opened, we've had Salt here.
And people love to come to see my albino alligator.
They are absolutely wonderful!
- Remember the day we unpacked Salt and Pepper?
- I do.
I am beyond excited right now.
- Those alligators.
- Oh my gosh.
I'm kind of shaking.
Oh my God, please let these things be good.
Why is this not opening?
Oh my gosh.
- I don't see what the big deal is.
- I'm gonna show you this one first, guys,
because this one is crazy.
Oh my.
What?
You gotta admit, that thing is freaking awesome!
Look at this, guys. (Lori laughs)
It's a jet black alligator.
Oh my gosh!
- Doesn't seem to be bitey.
- Ow! (water splashing)
Ooh!
- [Noah] Oh!
- Doesn't seem to be bitey.
(Jay screams)
- [Noah] Be careful, dude.
- [Jay] What are you doing?
- [Noah] What the?
- You hold this. You hold this.
- It's not gonna bite me?
- It's not gonna bite you!
Listen.
(alligator chirping) (Lori laughs)
Oh my gosh, guys, an albino alligator.
This is cool.
(alligators chirping)
(Lori laughs)
I remember the day that we got Salt.
I was so nervous, but I was also so excited.
I remember seeing albino alligators when I was younger,
and just thought, oh my gosh,
I would never actually own one.
And here we are all this time later,
and we've had Salt for over three years!
I can't imagine
what these little babies are gonna look like.
I almost forgot how small she was.
Why are we getting new ones?
- [Mike And Noah] Yeah, why?
- You know, Salt, when she was a baby,
you could hand her to almost anyone,
little, little kid,
and it was completely fine,
but now she's getting pretty big.
You know, she may not look like it,
but she is heavy to hold.
But now, if you're not an adult,
it's almost impossible to hold Salt.
Not to mention a bite from an animal this size
could be a lot more serious.
A little nip from a baby alligator, no big deal.
Probably doesn't even break the skin.
An animal this size, it gets you right,
it may take a finger off.
- Plus baby gators are so cute!
(mischievous music)
- No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no. - Stop!
Stop it!
- Boys for life.
Some coffee?
Sike. (Noah laughs)
Beef jerky's probably not good for her, right?
- No, you can't give 'em cooked or processed food.
- Some rats can have seasoning.
Yeah, you never seen "Ratatouille"?
(Mike laughs)
We were only supposed to have one anaconda,
our girl, Verde, here.
- But that didn't last very long
because then we went and got Ivy and Ariana.
- Don't forget about--
- That one's getting big
Is that the one you guys are keeping?
- No, this is the one that Brian's keeping.
- Shut up.
He's not keeping another female, is he?
- Yeah. I showed him this one was--
- Well, stop showing him. Just sell 'em.
- Super sweet.
Like, you can touch her face and everything now.
And she's very, very nice.
- And that proves our point, Mike.
We have over 47 million anacondas.
I think he's got a problem.
- He's definitely got a problem.
- When she was young,
I used to touch each little tooth and wiggle it around
just to make sure it was in the mouth good.
- I would not try that.
- No, don't you remember those days though?
Good days, right?
- Two years ago?
- It's about two years ago, we'd check every single tooth.
And now look at what happens.
Oh my!
She's fast!
You don't wanna mess around with a girl like that.
- And that's why we don't touch her face anymore.
So a baby would be perfect.
- Got that, Mike?
- I got it, Noah.
- FedEx is here.
Guys, FedEx is here.
FedEx is here.
FedEx is here?
- Yeah, it just delivered.
- Here it is, the box I've been waiting for.
Oh my God, I'm so excited.
I saw it through the window,
and I had to run all the way over here.
This is it.
Oh my gosh, they're here.
I'm so excited.
(hammer banging)
And it's been a few years since we've been at this spot.
I was so excited last night.
I could barely sleep just knowing
that these guys were gonna show up.
It's always nerve-racking because they're not cheap animals.
You know, these things cost a lot of money.
You know, the weather is starting to get
a little bit cooler.
Last night was a little chilly, so I was like, please!
But alligators can actually handle
some pretty cold temperatures.
You guys ready for this? - No.
- Were you excited last time?
I think you said, "Alligators aren't my thing."
- I don't remember. (group laughs)
- Oh my gosh!
I forgot how much pattern they have on 'em.
- Wow. - Oh my gosh.
(explosion rumbles)
Oh my gosh, they're bigger than I think Salt was.
Oh my gosh! - Look how cute they are.
Look at 'em! - [Noah] It's pink.
- Oh my gosh, open it up!
- It's crazy, yo.
You almost forget how much pattern that they actually have.
- They change so much. - Salt was like this?
- Yeah, salt was just like this.
- Really? - Oh my gosh.
Look at this one here.
It's got even more pattern.
Look at it, it's got its little mouth open.
Hi, buddies!
- [Noah] Oh my gosh. - Oh my God.
They are the cutest little things in the world!
Why did we get two of 'em, you might ask.
- Why did you get two of 'em, I might ask.
- Yeah, why did you get two of them?
- Well, the truth is, I'm only keeping one of 'em.
A buddy of mine is actually taking the other one.
So one of these guys,
which one should we actually choose to keep?
This one's got a little less pattern,
and it seems a little less feisty.
Look at it. Oh yeah, this is nice.
- That's the one we keep. - Yeah, exactly.
- I don't know. - Yeah, this one, eh.
- This one's feisty.
- I kinda like the feisty one though, to be honest with you.
- We're an interactive reptile zoo.
- Yeah, but it's not feisty.
It's just a little bit misunderstood.
- What are you talking about? - [Mike] Wham!
(Mike laughs)
It's calling for its mama.
Wait, listen. - Oh, listen!
(alligator chirping)
- [Noah] When you squeeze--
- When you squeeze, it's not a squeaker toy!
(group laughs)
- You hear that guys? (alligator and Mike chirping)
- Oh, you got it, he's go it good!
Do that again. Do that again.
(Mike chirps)
- Who knew they made so much noise so young!
- I'll be honest with you, I think I wanna keep this one.
- [Mike] What?
- I think I wanna keep this one.
- Wait, we all just said that's a good one.
- No, I think that we're gonna keep this one.
So we do need a name.
Do you guys have any idea what name?
- This thing is reminding me
of the skeleton from Mario Kart.
Remember what that's name?
- Bones?
- Bones isn't a bad name.
Let me know down in the comments, guys,
what you think we should name our new albino alligator.
It's absolutely so cute.
When you're down there, do me a favor.
Can you subscribe to the channel?
It certainly does help a lot, but wow.
What do you think, Lori? Tell me.
Hold it, hold. - Here.
Hold it. Hold it!
- Hold 'em both. - Hold it, Mom!
- Oh, whoa, whoa! - [Noah] Hold it! Hold it!
- Have you ever held the alligator before?
- No, not really.
They aren't my thing.
Or wait, I should do it this way.
- [Brian] Yeah, they're so cute.
- Just wanna stick my tongue in the--
- Oh my God.
So there it is, guys.
Couple new albino alligators.
What do you say we put 'em in their new enclosure?
- Here at the Reptarium, we're only also supposed to have
one rhino iguana, Bella,
which kind of started the whole Reptarium.
- Yeah.
- And now we have Diddy and Dixie.
We have a bunch of other iguanas.
Right, Noah? - Yeah.
- This being Diddy.
This is one of the other two
that Brian just somehow gained into the collection.
- I'm really starting to see a pattern here.
- Do you? - Yeah. Look close.
- Oh, yeah. That is a pattern.
- It's cute!
It's not, yeah, it's not super feisty either.
It's just like, I got my mouth open.
- Oh, I love the noises they make!
- Is it a boy or a girl?
It's a girl.
- Wow. (Lori laughs)
- They are both girls, actually.
- Yeah, duh. I know.
I wasn't here when Salty got here.
- And here we go, this is the enclosure.
We usually keep the baby gators in here,
but we're actually gonna keep the albinos in here alone.
Look at how absolutely adorable they are!
Oh my gosh, they are incredible.
Look it here, buddy.
Hear her chirping? (alligator chirping)
Oh my God, that's the most adorable sound
I've ever in my life.
That chirp is actually chirping for mama, right?
Baby alligators are always pretty close to their mom.
And when they chirp like that,
the mom knows that they're in danger or something like that.
Of course, these guys haven't been with their mom
since they hatched,
so if they don't even know what their mom is,
to be honest with you.
But I love these guys.
They are absolutely, oh my gosh!
They are so freaking cute!
I can't believe we have three albino alligators
only for a couple days, but then we'll have two.
We'll have Salt, and we'll have this little one here.
Whatever you want.
Is it Bones? Is it something else?
Down in the comments, let me know.
Wow! Albino alligators, guys.
How freaking awesome is that?
- I'm feeling like a gremlin today.
And don't forget about the retics, Michael.
(Mike laughs)
(Noah growls)
Ah!
- Yeah, Lucy was one of the first retics Brian ever had.
He's had her for about 14 to 15 years now,
and it's just another one of those addiction things.
She's not looking too happy.
She's getting close, man.
- Don't forget about Al.
- Oh! Oh!
I'm trying to help you. - You're literally the worst!
- A little trick to get out of here.
Don't forget about Perdita!
Hey, hey, hey!
Don't forget about Mike!
- And the beautiful Sunfire, my favorite.
I think there's one on the other side too.
- [Brian] Phil, Sally, I brought you guys something cool.
- Cool, that's a beautiful looking--
- What do you think about that?
That's an albino alligator.
- [Phil] Oh my gosh, beautiful.
- [Brian] Wanna hold it? - She's gorgeous.
- You can hold it. It's super nice.
It's super nice.
It won't bite. I promise.
You're always so brave. You're fine!
Just like that. - [Noah] Look at you go!
- [Brian] Oh my gosh, look at how cool.
- Oh my gosh!
- [Brian] You're holding albino alligator.
- Albino.
This is the first time I've ever done this.
- You hear it? - Oh my God.
- I did. I did hear that.
- It was chirping for its mom.
- Aw! - Isn't it--
This is just only about a month, month and a half old.
Isn't it cute? - How big do they get?
- About eight foot.
- Oh, this one will get--
Oh, wow.
What are you gonna do with it when it gets eight foot?
- Much like we do with our alligators here.
We grow 'em up for a while,
and then we trade 'em back for a small one.
Salt and Pepper, they're with us forever.
But this little monkey here
probably is only gonna stay with us for about two years.
Get it to about maybe a little smaller than Salt.
Once it gets too big for people to handle,
we'll, go ahead trade it back in for another little baby.
It's gonna be heartbreaking because I tell you what,
I fall in love with these animals so much,
and I know how hard it's gonna be
to actually have to send it back to get another baby.
The fact is,
we can't keep 20 adult albino alligators, you know?
- How do they ship it for you?
- FedEx will deliver it here. (Noah laughs)
- I forgot the keys.
What are you doing?
Stop, man. Stop.
Can I have your keys real quick?
- Oh, absolutely. - I just can't unlock the--
- Here, here.
Wait, no, Noah! - What?
That guy
is dimmer than a busted light bulb.
And Gemma!
And the devilish one, Butterscotch.
- Did you miss me?
- Night Fury, the illustrious food-motivated
reticulated python.
- Night Fury's another one that he got.
Why? Addiction?
- And our new girl, Neo.
Next.
- Of course, the whole idea behind the Reptarium
is interactions, right?
So I want people to be able to come
and interact with a small alligator.
But, of course, we have to give these guys some time
to get established, right?
So the one that actually stays with us
is gonna be here for probably a month
before we actually let people start holding it.
We wanna make sure we've got some growth,
it's eating really steadily.
We don't wanna cause any stress on the animal
that would cause us to not eat well.
We're gonna be the only ones
messing with these little monkeys.
But here, in another month or so,
once they're well established and we feel comfortable,
you'll be able to come to the Reptarium,
and you'll not only be able to see Salt,
and we'll probably take Salt out a little bit.
But now you can hold a little baby albino alligator,
just like we did back when Salt was a little one.
Listen, Salt will be with us her whole life.
She's gonna one day get over eight foot long.
So we're gonna have a huge enclosure
over at the new place for her
so that we can spend our entire life with her.
But again, she's getting to that size
where it's getting kind of hard to take her out
and actually have people hold her.
She's gonna be more like a feeding animal
and maybe even just crouching down
and taking a picture next to her.
(Brian and Noah screaming)
Because holding her like this, even this last 30 seconds,
my arms are starting to hurt.
- And as of Asian water monitor,
we were only supposed to have Elvis.
- Lets not forget about Toothless.
- The melanistic Asian water monitor.
Frosty, come here, boy. - Come on. Come on, buddy.
Frosty, the leucistic albino,
we don't really know what he is.
- No, he's a red eyed leucistic.
He's the only one in the world.
Bye!
All right, last but not least,
we have Hiccup, the snow blind albino.
- And when they say blind, they mean it.
- He can see shadows,
but he just can't see what he's biting.
♪ Can't take back the love that I gave you ♪
♪ Oh, I must replace you ♪
- Ow, I got dirt in my eye!
- Maybe we should actually keep this one for its whole life.
What do you think? - Absolutely not.
- Why? It'll be cute.
It's not gonna matter.
What's the difference between two alligators
and three alligators?
- About eight feet.
- Yeah, but give or take an inch or two, it's no big deal.
- No. Just stop.
- Please?
All right, cool.
- And we were supposed to only get one Cal king,
but this is two.
- This doesn't count.
- Two snakes, one body.
What are you saying?
- So it's two snakes with one body.
So technically, it's still one snake just with two heads.
This is two different bodies. - Right, right, right.
- If we were in the same shirt like we were before,
that's one body. - Right, right, right.
But it's two bodies in one skin.
You know what I'm saying?
Two bodies in one shirt
like Ben and Jerry with the two heads inside one--
My dad has a problem.
(Noah baby talking)
- What the heck are you guys doing?
- Playing with 'em.
- You're not supposed to be playing with them.
They're supposed to get settled in.
Leave them alone.
- Look at how cute they are!
- Yeah, we're trying to get them comfortable.
- I know, we can't stop-- - Who's a good baby?
- We can't stop playing with 'em.
- Seriously?
Come on, put 'em back, and get out of here.
- Speaking of out.
Hope you guys enjoy today's video.
If you did, there's a playlist

You can also hit that subscription button.
It would mean a lot to me.
Also, hit that like button while you're down there.
Have a wonderful day, Reptile Army.
Remember--
- Yeah, it's been like, four hours.
She hasn't even finished their tank.
