- Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the vlog.
I hope the start of your day is absolutely incredible.
We have some eggs to cut here in a second,
but I'm not going to lie to you.
We're going to put this on hold for a second because
I just got a shipment of snakes
that I'm excited that we can go unbox.
So what do you say we push her problems aside,
go unbox these snakes,
then we'll come back and cut this clutch?
And you guys may understand that
a lot of reptile people are quite obsessive,
that there is no doubt that...
These things are amazing.
I thought they might be in bags.
I just saw them, I'm like, oh my God.
I'll show you what I got in a second,
but the fact is, is we're kind of obsessed.
Remember just a few days ago, Quinn,
my new guy that takes care of the dungeon,
came to me and said,
"Hey, what do you think about getting
"some albino rainbow boas?"
And the next day I had some T positive albino rainbow boas.
Well, guess what?
A couple of days later, I got another shipment
because I thought, well, if I'm going to get into them,
let's get into them.
You guys know that we have the leucistic rainbows.
Now we have the T negative rainbows.
Well, guess what?
Now we have T positive albino rainbow boas,
and these guys are so absolutely dope.
Again, I haven't seen these guys in probably
at least 10 years or something like that.
They've got that kind of cool,
kind of purple-ish pattern to them.
Absolutely incredible.
And you gotta remember that T negative means
they're lacking all of the melanin, right?
So all the black pigment is gone,
but the T positive means that
there is a protein called tyrosinase that is in the melanin
that causes that purple look,
and that's what this guy's are.
So these are the T positives.
So they are albinos.
They are lacking melanin,
but they have the tyrosine, that protein still in them,
causing a little bit of a brown look,
purplish look, stuff like that.
Absolutely incredible.
So I just figured, hey,
let's go ahead and keep adding to the group
and see what we can do with Columbia rainbow boas,
because they are such cool animals.
And it's kind of weird that I think that a lot of people
don't seem to be working with the mutation of them,
and I'm not 100% sure why that is.
Well, now we have three different mutations.
There's an obviously T negative, T positive,
and the leucistics.
And now we're starting looking for other stuff.
years and years ago, there were actually
patternless ones too.
So maybe I can try to find those again, too.
I don't know if anyone's working with it, or who knows,
maybe (mumbles) or something else, but nevertheless,
look at how gorgeous these T positives are.
Unbelievable, super, super dope.
And again, they're about the same size
as the ones we got before,
maybe even a little bit larger.
And we ended up getting two pair of them, actually.
That was all that was available.
So I've got two pairs.
So now I have a trio of the team, negative albino.
I have two pair of these,
and then I have a whole bunch of the leucistics
slash hats and stuff like that.
So, absolutely wonderful for sure.
And again, Colombians and Brazilians
are the two rainbow boas that are the most common.
There's a whole bunch of other rainbow boas as well,
but they're not nearly as common.
The Colombian seem to be the easiest to work with
when it comes to breeding, to be honest with you.
We typically have anywhere from 10 to 25 babies,
really easy to breed, super good,
super high energy animals.
So that is awesome.
So in a couple of years ago,
hopefully we'll have a handful of mutations,
the Colombian rainbow boa have to offer you guys.
So I thought it was interesting.
And again, it kind of shows you the obsessive nature I have.
A few days ago. I wasn't even thinking about rainbow boas,
now a week later and I have all kinds
of different mutations, and I'll be on the prowl
for some more, because they are absolutely incredible,
and I couldn't be more happy with these guys.
These guys are prettier than I ever remember them being.
Let me know what you guys think down in the comments.
You like the T negatives better, the T positive, leucistic.
What do you think?
Well, I'm just excited to be working
with a bunch of really cool rainbow boas again.
Quinn, guess what?
- What'd you get now?
- What do you think?
- I'm guessing more rainbows boas.
I was kind of excited to hear about this,
- But these guys are a little different.
- Whoa, whoa.
They are different.
- Yeah, these are the positives.
- Yeah, you told me that
they're going to be very different.
You were not kidding me.
- They're cool, right?
- Yeah, absolutely love them.
I am so excited to start this project.
- I know.
Now we'll keep going with it.
I mean, if you guys know of
any other rainbow boas I don't have, comment down below
because now I'm on a mission
to get every type of rainbow boa I can possibly get.
And another egg cutting for you guys.
We have, let's see two, four, six, eight, 10,
11 eggs in this bunch.
And it looks like they've already started my work,
which is pipping all over the place.
You can see that little head sticking out right there.
It's really absolutely cool,
and the parents were...
And the mama is this beautiful little
pinstripe female right here, and she was bred to
this really gorgeous banana fire spider.
So let's go ahead and just jump in and cut some egg.
So it's pretty cool.
Pinstripe to banana fire spider.
Could have all kinds of combinations of fires
and pins and stuff like that.
And bananas, of course.
It looks like we have a bunch of bananas
just from the heads poking out.
So let's go ahead and jump into egg number one
and see if we can tell what's going on.
And the fire stuff is a little bit difficult
when it comes to the banana.
Until they hatch out, it's really hard to really see
what's fire and what's not,
but we can take a pretty good guess at it for sure.
And right off the rip, we do have a banana.
It could be a banana fire.
That's all it can really be because it's not a pinstripe.
It's not a spider.
It's not anything like that.
So definitely just a banana.
And again, you'll see,
we're producing a lot of banana stuff this year
because bananas are so popular in the Petrie.
And I've told you guys a million times,
I'm not really breeding snakes for an investment quality.
I'm breeding them for really cool patterned snakes.
So bananas, white snakes, albinos, pie, stuff like that.
We want a lot of that stuff.
So let's jump into egg number two,
and let's hope we continue to produce a lot of bananas.
So far, so good.
Looks like another banana.
I can tell as soon as you cut that egg,
you could see if there's any darkness or anything like that.
And this is, ooh, that's really good.
So this is a banana spinner, right?
So this is a banana, it's a pinstripe and it's a spider.
Now the question is, is it a fire?
If it's a fire, it's an all gene animal.
That would be the banana fire spinner,
which would be absolutely dope, but so far so good.
We've got two bananas out of two eggs.
So let's just keep cutting.
And I can see this one's head's already poking out
on the other side.
So let's see, this is not a banana and this is a pinstripe.
It's hard to say if it's a fire pit or not.
I'm not a hundred percent sure.
When this one crawls out, we'll have a better understanding.
Like I said, a little bit hard
with the fire stuff in the egg,
because it's an enhancing gene.
Some stuff you can really see some stuff, not so much,
but let's just keep going.
We are on egg number four, and this one's really picked out
and I can see darkness in this egg,
so I know it's not a banana.
And this one is another pinstripe,
but this one actually does look like a fire pinstripe.
This one I would say is definitely a fire
and it's a pinstripe.
Let's move on to number five.
And again, you could see these snakes
did a really good job of cutting up these eggs with her.
Look at that little head popped out.
Look how cute that is.
And this is another,
let's see, banana.
This is definitely a banana fire pinstripe for sure.
Not a spinner.
So this is everything minus the spider gene.
Pretty cool.
So we're doing pretty good on this clutch.
I can see the next egg sticking out right now
is definitely a banana, 'cause its head's out of the egg.
But I don't know if it's a fire banana or not.
Let's go ahead and cut it, see what we got.
Like I said, it's really light.
So my inclination is,
is that there's a good chance that
this is a banana fire right here,
but I'm just trying to be real gentle.
Oh, and actually, weirdly enough, it's a pinstripe too.
And this is definitely,
you could see how light that is.
This is definitely a banana fire pinstripe.
So, so far, we've been doing really good
on the bananas, and kind of the cool combination adds too.
We still have five eggs to go, so let's go.
All right, then we'll go for this one right here.
See what we got.
Another banana.
Like I said, I love it.
I mean, this is so cool.
I mean, this is awesome.
It looks like probably a fire banana too,
'cause it's a little bit faded,
but it could just be a banana.
We'll wait 'til it climbs out.
We'll find out.
Four more eggs.
Here we go.
What do we have?
And another banana.
Oh my gosh, we are crushing it.
This looks like maybe a normal banana
'cause it's a little bit darker, but we are crushing that.
We got one, two, three, four, five,
six out of eight eggs so far have been banana.
That's pretty darn awesome.
We got three eggs to go.
Let's see if our odds keep going well.
And I hope I didn't jinx myself by saying that.
Right off the rip, I know I don't have a banana here,
but that's all right.
It just looks like a pinstripe,
maybe a fire pin because it's kind of reducing a pattern.
I think it could be a fire pin.
Two eggs to go.
And the last two eggs hadn't pipped.
So these are going to be completely a surprise to us
as we're cutting them here.
This little baby's moving around like crazy
and ooh, it's a pretty one too.
This is, wow.
That's really pretty.
This is actually 100%
a banana fire pinstripe right here.
That is really gorgeous.
So we've got a couple banana fire pins
and a banana spin or maybe fire.
Last egg.
I tell you what, cutting the eggs is so much fun, guys.
We have a lot more to go.
I hope that you're enjoying it.
And another banana, are you kidding me?
The odds were so, goodness, clutch.
And again, it looks like a banana fire pinstripe.
So we crushed it on that.
So there it is guys.
I mean, that is awesome.
A bunch of really cool bananas.
Now, these guys will be out in two or three days.
Then they go through a shed cycle,
takes about seven to 10 days, usually right thereafter.
So we're looking at probably three to four weeks
before you actually might see these guys on the website,
but we have so many snakes
that are gonna to be going up here soon,
'cause things are starting to eat and starting to look good.
So keep an eye on bhbreptiles.com,
'cause trust me, there's going to be some bangers
available this years.
- This is one of our tarantulas.
I haven't actually given it a name yet.
but it is a female Brazilian black tarantula (mumbles)
One of my favorite things about this girl is
she's a lot more of a mover than the rose hair tarantula is.
Main reason why we actually don't bring her out
and let a lot of people hold her on the weekends
is because the possibility of her being dropped
is so much more severe.
That is basically just an animal
that me and Brian'll pull out only
and just keep it at that for now.
We're planning on retooling the arachnid wall.
So it's actually going to be an arthropod wall.
So we might actually do everything from maybe
doing hermit crabs,
some Amberly pidges or cave spiders
and maybe some whips hell vinegroons, things like that.
Doing all sorts of different weird insects,
see a little bit more than what everybody sees
in all the other places.
So I think having
a little bit more creative twist to our wall
is definitely a much needed thing.
Tarantulas have always been my first love,
but I am excited about this chapter
because this is something that I've always wanted to do
in my personal life and my personal collection.
We're gonna be able to do it now, and we're gonna
go get animals that just like, as a kid,
I dragged my parents over like...
"Oh dude, look at her.
"It's so cool.
"Oh Mom, come on."
And now we actually get to do it.
It's pretty cool.
- Guess what, guys?
Our baby albino ball pythons that are het for clown
actually hatched out.
Look at how cute they are.
Look at how small they are compared to the other animals.
So again, this was an enchi het albino
bred to an albino clown ball python,
so everything has het for clown ball python
and het for albino.
So we have a couple of beautiful little
enchi ball pythons here.
Again, our double het albino clown,
another one right here.
And then we have this little guy over here
is actually an enchi albino that has het for clown.
And this is also an enchi albino
that has het for clown and then a little albino
that has het for clown as well.
So nevertheless, really cool.
But how adorable are those little baby twin snakes?
I mean, oh my God, they are incredible.
This is such a dope clutch that just hatched out.
This was actually a pastel crystal to a pastel crystal.
And you could see,
these are just pastel crystals right here,
all these ones right here are little pastel crystals.
And there's a whole bunch of them, actually.
this would actually be a normal crystal.
You can see the difference in the color.
Oh, it's just got a little bit more pattern to it,
kind of a little bit more dark and pigment
and stuff like that.
That's cool.
And then of course, we have a couple of super Mojaves
because the crystal is actually a Mojave and a special,
so of course that's two Mojave genes together.
So we have a couple of those right here,
and then the really amazing animals as well in here
are these guys right here.
These are actually Super Special ball pythons.
Absolutely incredible.
Here's another one right here.
That's a Super Special.
It has all that beautiful orange in it.
The thing that's needed, if you were to breed
this Super Mojave to this Super Special,
every single snake out of it would be a crystal ball python,
which is just absolutely cool.
So this is just a cool clutch of snakes.
There was a lot of babies in here and a lot of variety.
Absolutely wonderful.
Wanna give you a quick update on Aries.
He's just coming out of shed right now,
he's got some stuck shed, which bums me out.
I cannot wait till he gets in with Ivy.
So he has all of that water so he can shed perfectly.
So I'm going to get him in some soul care.
We've got about a week left of quarantine before we actually
can introduce Aries to Ivy's enclosure
and just see what happens from there.
But I wanted to give you an update.
He's doing great.
Obviously just came out of shed.
That didn't go so well.
Again, once he gets that huge water basin,
he's going to shed like a perfect animal, just like Ivy.
So nevertheless, one week to go, it's going to be awesome.
Definitely exciting and a little obsessive
when it comes to my kind of thoughts of reptile.
I always have to have everything.
So I'm hoping I can even get some more rainbows.
I'm not sure what else is out there,
but I'm going to be doing it.
I enjoyed it.
