- Now you don't want to get bit by something like this
regardless because you know you will still
have some swelling, maybe a little nausea
or something like that.
These guys are typically pretty good tankers
as you can see, he's not in a good mood at all.
This little guy is, whoa!
Pretty incredible!
Hey good morning everybody and welcome to the vlog.
Got a little Mangrove here.
Oh, it's getting a little close, real close.
That's all right, mangroves are one of those absolutely
gorgeous snakes, mildly venomous snakes right there.
Ew, that little guy is whoa!
It's okay buddy.
I'll tell you what I've always wanted to work
with mangrove snakes because they're absolutely
one of the most beautiful animals I think.
And they're just mildly rear fang venomous.
Now you don't want to get bit by something like
this regardless, you know you will still have some
swelling, maybe a little nausea, stuff like that.
And these guys are typically pretty good tankers
as you can see, he's not in a good mood at all.
And they're the biggest of the cat eyes snakes
in the Boiga Genes.
What a gorgeous snake from southeast Asia.
Of course, they have quite a strike range so I'm gonna
try to stay off.
I've actually never been bitten by one of these guys.
Some people have more of a reaction than others.
I don't really want to find out if I can avoid it.
But nevertheless, what a gorgeous black and yellow snake.
And of course, I wanted to show you this guy
to get our day started.
And then I was gonna show you his babies.
And even a yearling just so you guys get an idea
of what incredible snakes these are.
But I tell you what, this was absolutely a dream snake
of mine to have.
And to be able to actually have it now is pretty incredible.
Careful buddy.
All right, let's get this guy back.
And here's one of the babies that
that daddy actually produced.
This is only about four or five weeks old.
And it is absolutely adorable.
I mean look at that little dude.
And might ask like, Brian, why are you handling
a venomous snake?
Well, number one they're mildly venomous.
But at this size they can't even break the skin.
And the deliver system for a rear fang means they
have to kind of chew on you to actually put it in.
So a normal front fang venomous has like hypodermic
needles right, they're actually injecting into it.
These guys actually have slots in the back of their teeth
that the venom basically just drips in.
So they have to really chew on ya.
This size there's absolutely no danger.
But you can see that this one has a little bit
of that red color on it.
That will fade on to that beautiful yellow color
when it gets bigger.
I'm so excited that we had a few clutches of these
this year, it's absolutely incredible.
I wanna show you one that's about six or seven months old.
And how that at even just a few months they change so much.
And again, you can see the size difference
and even the color really starts to brighten up
as they get a little bit older.
This one here's is literally just like six or seven months
old and it's getting to the size now where this could
maybe break the skin.
But I'm still not too terribly concerned about it
because again they have to chew on you in order
to actually inject in the venom.
I told you guys before that venom is relatively mild.
There's never been any reported fatality,
even with people that are allergic to it.
So you don't have to worry at all that way.
But absolutely incredible snakes.
And again, the Boiga are all what they call
the cat eye snakes.
And the Dendrophila, which are the mangroves
are the largest species.
Six to eight foot is adult so this guys got a little
ways to go but they're absolutely incredible.
And they grow relatively quick.
Let me show you guys a yearling.
Now we have an actual yearling animal here.
And it's got it's full adult colors in.
Absolutely gorgeous animal.
And this one is actually relatively tame.
We actually mess with it pretty much so it rarely strikes.
And if this guys gonna strike, he's really gonna strike
away from me 'cause they're relatively visual animals.
But as you can see they're very arboreal.
And these guys are from Southeast Asia and are
still imported in relatively big numbers.
But to be honest with you the captive animals
are the way to go.
There's not a ton of captive babies available.
But when you can get a captive baby they're absolutely
incredible animals.
The wild caught ones don't do nearly as well.
So I always try to tell people to stay away from stuff
like that because we don't want these things to come in
and not do well.
One little trick with a arboreal animal like this,
especially that's mildly venomous,
if you ever just need to just go up in the air
they'll always kinda go up right.
Because they're arboreal.
So you don't want them to be down where they're gonna
strike potentially at your face,
you want something that is gonna (whips) like that.
You want it to strike up right.
So if you hold it up in the air you're actually
in no danger whatsoever.
So regardless, this guys getting a little cheeky
so it might be time to put this guy away.
Whew!
All right, we're gonna get him back but there
are mangrove snakes.
I hope you guys enjoyed it.
Wanted to give you guys a little bit of an update
on some of the ball pythons that have now shed
because I showed you them as they were hatching.
They look a lot different after a shed and a meal
or something like that.
This happens to be a jigsaw orange dream.
So this is a Mojave.
It's a pinstipe and it's an orange gene.
Whew, what's gonna up here little buddy.
It's okay.
It's a little bit upset so we'll go ahead and move on
to the next.
I love the way this combo went together too.
This is a three gene animal.
It's a woma.
It's a pinstripe and it is a desert ball python.
Oh my gosh, it is so clean and so cute.
Sometimes just really simple single gene animals
are absolutely ridiculous.
This just a high contrast albino ball python.
But, ew, doggy, I tell you what that one has some
contrast to it and is absolutely stunning.
I tell you what the little things make me excited right.
We actually got one of these little headpieces now
that I can put on when I'm doing education shows
for kids and stuff like that.
But what's cool is that this actually can hook on speakers
here in the Reptarium too.
So we have like special events and stuff like that
you'll literally be able to talk through the speakers
to people in the Reptarium so ...
I just get excited about stuff like this.
Andrea, can you please report to Bella's cage.
- All right.
(locks)
(water rushes)
Yeah, what's up?
- I just wanted to show you.
Isn't she looking beautiful today?
She's so cute.
- Uh, yeah, yeah.
Really cute.
- Okay, awesome.
Eric man.
- Yo, what's happening man?
- [Brian] Have you got your merch yet?
- No, not yet.
- [Brian] You haven't got it.
- Not yet, it's on it's way.
- [Brian] Did you know that when you put 'em on.
Here put one on.
Dude, it makes you look so much more attractive.
- Dude, no way. - I'm dead serious.
- I could really use that.
- [Brian] Exactly.
- Let me tell you what here.
- [Brian] You put this on you'll be shocked at what
you look like afterwards.
- Dude, I could use it.
Let's see - Oh my gosh.
- What is this a medium?
- [Brian] No, no, it's a you got it, you got it to fit.
Oh my God look at you.
- It's little hot.
- [Brian] As soon as you, dude you literally.
- Wow!
- [Brian] Dude, you literally look like Brad Pitt right now.
- Dude, look at all those double snake arms.
- [Brian] And listen, try on Noah's real quick.
(sirens)
Look at you man.
- Oh man.
Here you go.
I feel sexy.
- Oh my God, you really do.
Only a couple days left for the merch guys.
Barczykboys.com, link in the description.
Get you some now.
I got my friends Barros and Kerri in from KB Reptiles
from Canada.
These guys have a really dope YouTube channel as well
so I'm gonna put a link in the description.
Go show them some love.
Tell them that I sent you.
You guys are from Canada.
And Canada has some rules and regulations
about big snakes right?
- Yeah, so especially in the area that we are.
We're not allowed to keep anything over six and a half
feet or so seven feet so we love coming here
'cause we get to see and play with Brian's big snakes.
- Right and what's the biggest snake you guys
have messed with?
- What was it?
- It was like 12.
- 12 feet roughly.
Yeah so.
- All right so we're gonna go ahead and unleash Daisy.
I wanna go Daisy 'cause she's awfully cool.
She's really tame and stuff like that.
But she is 18 foot.
So this will definitely be about six foot longer
than the snakes you've ever had before.
So we're gonna go ahead just slightly pull Daisy out.
Come on out baby.
All right, so we got Daisy coming out here.
- Oh my gosh.
- Oh my goodness.
- It's a big snake.
Okay, you guys ready?
- Yeah.
(laughs)
- Oh my God.
- It just keep coming.
- Yeah, yeah this is definitely heavier than what
we had before.
- Holy crap.
- Daisy is a beauty.
- Oh my gosh.
- Wow.
- She's all over the place too so.
- Oh thank God this is amazing.
- She is awesome, I can not believe how big she is.
- I know it's a work out too.
She's usually pretty docile as far as like moving around.
Today, she's like all over the place.
I was gonna say.
Kerri good.
- Yeah, here we go guys.
- Oh my ...
- Oh my God.
(laughs)
- Here we go.
- Okay.
- Okay, I lost Kerri guys.
I lost Kerri, here she is.
(laughs)
Holy moly.
- Oh my God.
- Oh yeah, this is a lot bigger than what we're used to.
- And you figure.
Whoa, he got me though.
He is such a beaut, look at the head of these animals.
There she's finally starting to calm down a little bit.
That's a lot of snake right there.
- I love it.
- It is a lot of snake, oh my God.
- Here we go.
- I tell ya, I always love giving friends of mine
the opportunity to get hands on with a snake like Daisy.
'Cause until you've actually held something like that
you gotta imagine.
- I'm sweatin'.
(laughs)
- You can imagine Lucy, who's even bigger
about 50 pounds heavier.
And moves twice as quick.
- I don't know how you guys do it.
- Like this is amazing.
- She's giving you a good squeeze.
We're gonna lose ya Barios!
- We're gonna lose me.
(laughs)
- Oh my God this is amazing.
- So I guess guys, everyone from Canada just come
to the Reptarium where you can hold Daisy.
- Absolutely, this is amazing.
- Guys, you know what, no joke.
Canadian tour needs to happen.
Guys feel free to contact us if you want to come
and see Brian.
We need to make it happen.
- It could absolutely do it.
Seriously, these guys can arrange a big Canadian tour.
So if you're up there hit these guys up.
And come visit and you can play with Daisy too.
- That's awesome (laughs)
- Andrea, don't forget to fill that water bowl.
- Yeah, I got it.
- Remember that Sydney new gene stuff that I talked
about that was just a new gene, I hadn't named it yet?
Well, this is what it looks like after a shed.
This is actually a cinnamon enchi new gene.
And again, put it on the comments and let me know
what you guys think.
Obviously it has tons of orange in it
and it's really blushed out.
So I do need a mutation name for this so
if you guys can help me out go down to the comments
and tell me what would you call this if you
had the opportunity to name it?
This one shed out.
It is unbelievable.
This is actually a banana black pastel enchi pinstipe.
That is a lot of genes going on right there.
Wow, that thing looks absolutely ridiculous.
I think that this is a world's first too.
I'm not sure that there's anyone else that's produced
this animal but I'm not 100% sure to be
totally honest with you.
Nevertheless, couldn't be happier with the way this
one turned out.
So we know that snake yoga went over very well.
It was a really big success.
What's coming up next at the Reptarium that you're
promoting now?
- Next on the list is our sensory friendly night.
Yep, we have that coming up in a couple weeks.
We've got a couple of those scheduled because they're
very small groups so they sell out really fast.
- Yeah, it's just for especially kids and young adults
that are have issues like with Autism that don't
wanna be around a lot of people.
Happen at 10 so they have the whole place to play.
So that's cool.
I love those nights.
I really have fun with those.
- And our newest we're gonna do another paint night.
But this one's gonna be different.
It's gonna be pour paint, instead of like painting
signs so I'm really excited because it's something
I've always wanted to try.
Yeah, so you actually mix the mediums and then you pour it
and it makes a really cool designs.
So that's coming up next month.
- Okay, how about something crazy.
You know I'm expecting Lori to do something like
how about like quilting with reptiles.
- Not yet but it's on the idea list.
- Oh gosh.
Get out of here.
Get out of here really?
- Yeah.
- Quilting.
I gotta pull the reigns in she's getting weird.
She's mixing your craft and my animals.
- Well, we've got some fun stuff for October too.
We're doing a reading with reptiles but the kids
get to dress up in their costumes.
- [Brian] Oh, I saw that.
It's like spooky reptiles.
- Yes, its right before Halloween.
So I think that'll be a lot of fun.
The kids will like that too.
So we've got a lot of cool things on the calendar
coming up.
- I will say that that's one of the things
with the Reptarium I didn't even think about
when we opened up.
All these cool kids events and even adult events.
Remember, we're gonna do that big year anniversary.
It's like the weekend of the 21 of September.
So if you wanted to come in and come check that out.
Huge event we might have a VIP party.
You still good with that, VIP party?
- Yep, we're working on the details.
But yeah, it's gonna be a really big party weekend
pretty much.
(laughs).
- All right so, put that on your calendar.
I used to always be the dart frog feed guys.
So it's been a while.
Let's go ahead and get back to it.
I love these guys.
I think they're gonna want to eat for sure.
They are adorable.
(upbeat music)
Next up are the tinctorius azureus.
Which are the eclectic blue ones that I think
are absolutely adorable.
They're hiding.
You see them hiding back there peeking out.
As soon as we throw some fruit flies in there
they'll come out.
They always love to eat.
(upbeat music)
And lastly we have the tinctorius powder blues.
They're hiding in here somewhere.
But again, as soon as you put fruit flies in
they always wanna come out.
Unbelievable, I definitely have to get some more
dart frogs 'cause I absolutely love them.
And I hope that you guys have enjoyed feeding them again.
(upbeat music)
(window slides)
Andrea, I don't think that you actually put the lock
back on that cage.
(locks)
I love the way this ball python turned out.
It's so soft looking.
This is actually a bumblebee het russo.
So it's just a pastel, it's a spider and it's
a het russo that het russo is in that blue eyed
leucistics complex but it really changes a bunch of stuff.
It makes this animal gorgeous.
Much like that bumblebee het russo,
this is actually just one more gene which is actually
the pinstipe gene.
Which is a spinner blast het russo.
And again, it just makes it look much more interesting.
And what a beautiful snake.
This was another super soft one.
This is actually a bamboo, lemon blast, woma ball python.
And it also has a little paradox on the side of it.
That big black blotch.
I love the way this combo came.
And again, after this stuff sheds it looks so, so awesome.
Then finally, I wanna show you how this girl turned out.
Of course, this is that super lori leopard ball python.
Oh my gosh, take a look at at that thing.
Oh, my gosh that thing turned out so cool.
Look at that stripe down it.
That blueish gray tinge to it.
That thing is ridiculous.
Like I mentioned, these snakes look a lot different
after one shed.
And even after a couple more sheds they'll look even better.
A lot of ball pythons really enhance and look beautiful
at say three to four hundred grams.
Where these guys are still like 65, 70 grams.
So they're gonna only get better.
Just a real quick hint, I wanted to show you guys.
Is this emerald tree boa that actually we got
a while ago.
Remember we had someone who actually came and donated it
but it turned out that it's a wild animal
so I don't think it'll ever come over to the Reptarium.
But I wanted to still take care of it
because it's actually beautiful.
It had some issues when it first came in.
Now it just shed out and it's looking absolutely wonderful
and it definitely looks like it wants to eat.
Very alert and stuff like that so.
Still a beautiful animal.
Might not make it over to the Reptarium.
But definitely get this guy set up somewhere
where it's got a cool display.
Maybe in my office at some point.
- Yeah, man.
- Wait guys, check this out.
I've gotta microphone now and I'm messing with Andrea.
- Yes, yes, yes.
- Do you wanna say hi to her?
- Yes, do you have to like press a button?
- No, just say something.
- Andrea, this is God.
I'm very disappointed in you.
We need a little bit of money at the back door.
And all your dreams will come true.
- And a Starbucks iced Americano.
Ewwww.
It's the ghost of Christmas past.
You must give Noah five hundred dollars.
(laughs)
Or else you will die.
(laughs)
Hello, anybody with a Jeep Focus,
the lights are on and the engine is running.
If you have Jeep Focus, I repeat Jeep Focus
please turn your car off.
(laughs)
Thank you and have a good night.
(laughs)
- Can you guys please shut up.
I'm trying to work around here.
- Hey, we're working too.
- Oh, my.
- Give me that.
Get back to work guys.
Oh, my gosh.
Well, I tell you what guys.
Playing with venomous snakes is always amazing.
Even mildly venomous snakes.
If you guys wanna see me check out some other venomous
snakes you can check out this video right here.
Was pretty cool.
Here's a playlist with me doing all kinds of dangerous stuff
and if you don't mind, hit that subscribe button
and turn those post notifications on.
Be kind to someone and I promise I'll see you guys tomorrow.
(upbeat music)
