- Look at these weird eggs right here.
Oh no, they look good.
- They look good
- There you go.
- It's a small clutch but it's really beautiful.
Whoa!
Woohoo!
(upbeat music)
- Hey good morning everybody and welcome to the vlog.
Today is gonna be a pretty busy day.
The first thing I'm doing is checking for colubrid eggs
and as you can see,
we have a beautiful clutch of corn snakes right here.
And I think we have a few colubrid clutches,
a couple ball python clutches.
We're gonna be feeding some snakes later.
I've gotta do this fix for Lori on a chair thing,
get into that later on.
But regardless the first thing I need to do is
set up some egg boxes so that when I collect colubrid eggs
I have somewhere to put 'em.
(upbeat music)
Alright all the boxes are ready so we're back to eggs.
Of course we'll get back to this girl here
which is actually a Het Ghost Scaleless corn snake.
And again she's got a nice clutch.
She's not a big girl, but she's got a beautiful clutch,
just look at that.
I tell you what, that is absolutely amazing.
So she is definitely a good momma, we'll get her all set up.
And she was actually bred to this male right here.
This is actually a Ghost Scaleless,
but it's got a really interesting pattern to it.
He fathered that clutch about a week and a half or so ago.
So I'm excited to see ends up hatching outta them
cause their gonna be absolutely incredible.
Lets go ahead and see how many eggs we've got,
we've got two, four, six, eight good eggs.
Good way to start the day.
(upbeat music)
Next up we actually have Het Albino Scaleless
bred to an Albino Scaleless Corn.
So let's go ahead and see what's in this clutch right here.
Looks like some good eggs also looks like
maybe a couple bad eggs.
I don't know I'm gonna just slowly get momma outta here.
Come on little one, come on there you go.
Yep, definitely a mixed bag with this one.
Looks like about half good half bad,
but momma looks good so that's all that really matters.
We'll get her in here.
As always we'll take the shed out,
we'll get her some water here in a little bit.
Get her all set and ready to go.
And then we'll take a closer look at this clutch right here,
find out what exactly is going on.
Again definitely looks like a mixed bag right here.
This one's kind of a funky egg, but might be okay.
Looks like we've got a handful of good eggs here,
not too terribly bad, but definitely some slugs too as well.
So it looks like two, four, six good eggs
and two, four, six bad eggs, so exactly 50%.
Again that's just the way it goes,
the ups and downs not bad.
We had the first clutch 100% fertile, this clutch 50%,
lets hope the next clutch is better.
Next clutch is way up top here,
it's actually an Apricot Pueblan milk snake.
So lets go ahead and we'll
just pull this down right like this.
See what this girls got going on in here.
Haven't had too many pueblan clutches
but this one looks really good.
So I set this box over here.
Put the tub back in the rack and we'll get momma out
and see what's going on here.
Look at that, she looks really good.
She definitely looks like she made the clutch eggs.
And these pueblans, I tell ya.
They put a lotta energy into their egg production
there is no doubt about that.
So we'll get momma in there, get her some water,
get her all set up.
And then we'll take a look at this
beautiful clutch of eggs right here.
Look at that, wow, all perfect.
Two, four, six, seven good eggs.
They're a little bit on the small side,
I'm not gonna lie when it comes to pueblans,
which means that the babies
will probably be a little smaller.
The good news is pueblan milk snakes
typically eat really well just when they hatch out
so I don't think it's gonna be a problem,
but nevertheless that was a good clutch.
Last colubrid clutch of the day is actually this
Albino Nelson's milk snake.
And this is the first Albino Nelson's milk snake
clutch of the year.
And these females are getting a little old,
I'm not gonna lie to ya.
She's probably a good 15 years old or something like that
but she's being bred to this male here
which is absolutely incredible.
He is a T-Positive Albino,
so it has that kinda purplish look to it.
So it has some tyrosine,
that's why the T-Pos in the 't' is for tyrosine,
which is a type of protein that's in melanin.
Regardless what's interesting about that
is when you breed to a T-negative
which is lacking all of the melanin,
half the babies right off the rip come out T-positive,
half come T-negative.
Regardless, look at these weird eggs right here.
These are completely fine, they're fertile and everything.
But look at the ends how they're like that.
Every now and then you'll see that with Nelson's
and Sinaloan milk snakes for some weird reason,
almost like the end pinches together.
But again that's only a three egg clutch
and that's probably because she's so old.
As she was younger, she was probably six, seven, eight eggs.
So we have some new animals coming up
that we're gonna eventually replace
our kinda old retired animals.
Regardless that is it for colubrid clutches for the day.
One of my projects for today has nothing to do with animals.
It has to do with this crazy thing here.
Lori wants me to fix it.
I'm not exactly sure what's going on with it.
What do you want me to do with this?
- I just need to put a new swivel on the bottom.
- A swivel on the bottom?
- Yes, this was my grandma's chair,
from when we were kids and the swivel broke years ago
and so I bought a new one, but it's a little bit different
cause this is very old.
So they didn't have the same kind of thing,
so we needed to do a little bit of fabricating.
- Alright so I'm gonna do my best
in between all the other things I need to do today
to do a little MacGyvering to hopefully fix this chair.
Down in the dungeon, getting some python eggs.
What do you have for me today Kelsey?
- First up we have a pastel ball python bred to a firebee.
- Alright, lets see what we got here.
She's got one egg out over here, I'll hand that to you.
Looks like momma has a lot of eggs right there.
She definitely is spread out which usually tells me
that there is a big clutch of eggs there.
- That's a big clutch of eggs, oh my gosh look at that.
Stay in there momma.
- Trying to rival our clutch from yesterday.
- I know.
That's hard to do.
That thing hardly fit in the egg boxes it's so big.
But that's a nice clutch.
- There we go.
- Alright that is absolutely beautiful.
And again that firebee is a fire, it's a pastel
and it's a spider, bred obviously to another pastel,
meaning they could be killerbee's, fire killerbee's
and a whole host of other things like that.
How many eggs we got in this one?
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
- Ten eggs, not a bad way to start the day.
How many clutches do we have today?
- We have three total.
- Clutch number two, what do we have Kelsey?
- Clutch number two is a pinstripe female
bred to a pastel kingspin.
(upbeat music)
- Oh no I don't like the way mamma's laying there.
Not sure if that's good or bad,
we'll wait to see what going on.
Just the way she's laying there
looks a little bit funky to me.
Oh no they look good.
- They look good.
- There you go.
- It's just a small clutch.
- Nah it's a small clutch but it's really beautiful.
Oh and they're not stuck together
so they're kinda all over the place which is good.
But then again it just goes to show ya,
how little I know cause I looked at her and I thought
the way she was laying, probably not fertile.
But good clutch right there
and we ended up with how many eggs?
- Six.
- Six good eggs.
So again another beautiful clutch going into the incubator,
60 days from now hatch, which means bout 57, 58 days,
you're gonna see a cutting video on this clutch.
Last ball python clutch of the day, what do we have Kelsey?
- We have a yellow-belly bred to a sliver streak bamba loma.
(upbeat music)
- Oh, this looks like a good clutch too
so that is absolutely amazing.
Wow.
Oh my gosh.
Oh that is an absolutely beautiful clutch there.
Wow, is that even gonna fit?
That's crazy.
I might need to help you here
cause that thing is all over the place.
- They are very spread out.
- That is crazy good.
- I like how these girls are making their clutches
sit nice and flat, so they fit neatly.
Make my job easy.
- There we go, perfect, oh my gosh.
And again that silver streak bamboo woma
it's gonna be a super pastel black pastel.
It's a bamboo and it's a woma.
Wow, and that's bred to a yellow-belly.
That is gonna be an amazing clutch.
How many do we have?
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
- Another 10A clutch, I tell you what, unbelievable!
I mean we are killing it this year.
I should say really, Kelsey is killing this year.
I didn't have a whole lot to do with it
so you did an amazing job as always.
- Thank you.
- Hopefully I'll see you again tomorrow.
- Cool beans.
- I know it's not reptile related,
but I have to put my Bob the Builder hat on
and start working on this.
I have an idea in my head how this is gonna work.
I have to reinforce this.
I have to build up a platform
to put the little spinny thing on.
First thing, Lori's gonna take off the feet,
I'm gonna cut up some wood.
Hopefully this all works out.
(upbeat music)
There's a pretty good chance that not one of you
cares about what I'm about to tell you.
But regardless, so what we did is we reinforced this here
so that's it's really stable.
I'm gonna put braces in the middle here
to kinda keep it hold together.
I built this box that is gonna screw to this piece.
This piece is gonna flip up here, gonna go over here
and then, Lori you'll be able to spin around on it.
Makes sense?
- It makes sense and I'm excited
cause it's been a long time since this thing spun around.
- We're gonna see what happens.
So, now I just have to assemble everything.
Taking a break cause I have to feed some snakes today.
That's all part of this crazy busy day.
I'm gonna start with Sunfire right here.
She looks like she's pretty hungry
and she's got a rat sitting there.
Should be pretty fun.
Here you go girl.
Whoa!
There it is.
She's always, so crazy.
Her, Casper and Ricky are the ones
you have to watch out the most for.
And by the way, lets go ahead and feed Casper.
And like I mentioned, next up is Casper.
Lets see what happens with this little dude here.
Oh, sheesh!
Oh, he's the same with him.
It doesn't matter, he misses every single time
the first time and he almost bites you every time.
I love that animal but oh my gosh, too many close calls.
(upbeat music)
Well my vision came to light!
This is what it looks like guys, this is the reinforcement.
Now the moment of truth, what do you think?
Do you think it's gonna work or not work?
- I hope so.
I'm excited.
- Alright lets give it a go.
Next up we feed Sunrise.
She looks like she's ready that's for sure.
Come on girl.
Don't push the glass out.
She always pushes the glass out.
Oh, yeah!
She's got a ferocious strike.
She may be a docile animal but she definitely is a predator.
Next crazy one, my guy Ricky here.
He's another one that likes to miss a lot like Casper.
So, lets see what we can do.
Whoa!
Uh oh, little bit trapped here.
Whoa!
Woohoo!
There you go buddy.
Man that is so awesome, that dude, I love that dude.
Casper gets rat number two!
Come on Casper don't miss.
Please, please, please, please, please.
There it goes.
I think after Ricky my heart raised a little bit up
and I was a little bit squeamish.
But he got it good.
(upbeat music)
Okay, try it out!
- I'm ready.
Be better with the cushions.
- Hahahaha
- Aww, this is perfect!
- Oh my god!
Takes me back to my childhood in my grandma's!
- Alright, so mission accomplished!
I wasn't sure it was gonna workout but I'm glad it did.
So there it is.
That wraps up Bob the Builder segment of this vlog.
My guy Nova there just looking awesome as always.
What a crazy day, huh?
A lot going on today, was really busy.
I'm gonna end it here, just wish you guys an amazing day.
You guys are amazing!
And I really do love your beautiful faces.
Be kind to someone today
and I promise I'm gonna see you guys tomorrow.
(upbeat music)
