- So my buddy actually said that
he had some house snake morphs
that he wants to send me
and that I could potentially keep a few,
market some stuff.
So I like that.
I was like, of course,
I would love to get a couple house snakes.
So we have this box, but no, it gets a little bit better,
wait a second now.
We have this box too.
Oh, and wait a second.
We have this box too.
So, yeah, we've got a few house snakes.
I thought I was going to be unpacking like 12 house snakes.
I have no idea what's in these boxes
but we're about to find out.
It's going to be a great time.
Why don't we roll that unboxing reel?
(knife clicks)
So let's just go ahead and jump into it.
This is going to be a surprise
for me as well as you guys
(packaging whooshing)
as we're going here.
Oh my God, they are so cool.
Now, listen, I love house snakes,
these guys actually come from Africa, obviously,
called African house snakes.
And these guys are crazy, crazy cool.
This is what they call a hypo house snake
and again, these guys come
in a bunch of different flavors, colors,
there's different localities that are really cool.
So this is hypo.
So it's just kind of, again,
lacking some of that melan, looks really, really cool,
I love it, and again,
I don't know what else we're going to find in here,
but I can tell you what, there is a bunch
of house snakes just in one box, let alone a bunch.
This is what they call a T negative albino.
I don't know that I've even seen
a T negative albino house snake,
but this is absolutely look at the how cool.
Their works. They're squirmy little monkeys
and the thing that's really cool about these,
I really do think
that they are actually a really good snake.
Typically they're very docile.
This one's calling me a liar,
but the truth is, is that,
they're usually super, super tame.
They're kind of almost like the corn snake of Africa,
if that makes any sense.
Really polymorphic, really cool,
easy to keep, just really great snakes.
They get, you know, maybe 3, 3
and a half foot long. Males stay a little bit smaller.
Really high production, they can have
3, 4 or 5 clutches a year,
and they're really cool.
I'm just taking a look.
This is actually a T positive sun glow.
So that other one was a T negative,
This is actually a T positive.
So let's tyrosine, right?
It's just a protein
in the black pigment called melanin, right?
So this is a T positive, but it' also a hypo,
so it's a sun glow T positive. And again, whoop,
I tell you what, quick hands, quick hands.
I tell ya, I've never even seen it,
I don't know, but my buddy is definitely
always led the trade.
He actually is from South Africa
and he had the best house snake collection for, well,
I don't know about that.
I think he had the best house snake collection in Africa,
and now he's here in the States
and I'm excited to be working with these guys.
So I don't know what we're going to keep
and what we're going to sell.
But this one right here is really, really cool.
Again, this is just a het T negative and it says,
oh, it's also het hypo stripe,
but I don't know what the stripe is,
I'm going to have to ask him a lot of questions
whether it's polygenic,
whether it is recessive, whether,
woo, these guys are all feisty little monkeys.
I'm telling you every house snake I've ever had
has been super tame.
They're probably all jumbled up from shipping,
but you could see the nice stripe on this animal here.
So this is just basically a normal colour
but it's het for T negative albino,
and it's also het for hypo
and it's het for stripe, which is pretty cool.
I love this guy.
It's really, really cool.
We'll see what else is in this box,
and guys, we've got many boxes to go, so,
we've got to cruise through these things
because we're going to be here all day opening,
and we're going to be here all day opening,
which I don't mind. You know,
we're going to have a 25 minute unboxing thing
if that's all right with you guys.
So let me see.
We've got a T negative albino,
we've got a T negative albino
that's actually het for T positive, which is really weird.
We've got, let's see, albino.
We got a T positive albino.
We've got a hypo again.
So it looks like the rest
of this box has all of these guys here.
So this box is done.
Let's go ahead and open up box number two.
So this box here says patternless.
Now I'm assuming that means
that there has to be some patternless house snakes in here,
but the truth is,
I don't know if there's anything else in here.
Again, wasn't expecting so many snakes
but I am excited about it, cause I love 'em.
Let's go ahead and get this box open,
again, boys and girls always cut towards you whenever you,
no, don't take my advice.
Seriously, don't cut towards you, people.
So, okay, let's see what's in this box.
(packaging whooshing and clattering)
Nice and warm in,
Oh, they are patternless.
Wow, that's crazy.
So this whole box is just patternless.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, they're feisty little monkeys.
Come on a little chill,
chill, chill, chill.
Look at that, it's patternless.
I didn't even know there was patternless house snakes,
and these are incredible.
I mean, there is not a pattern on them
which is really wild.
I, again, I don't know if it's recessive,
I don't know if it's incomplete dominant.
I don't know if it's polygenic.
So I have a lot to learn guys.
You know, I'm just getting these snakes
and just going to kind of mess with them,
but I will tell you that I really do believe
house snakes are a big thing that are going to be coming up
especially with all the mutations.
You know, I've been working with house snakes on
and off since I was like 15 years old,
and the truth is
the only thing that I ever thought was wrong
with the house snakes is that for most of those years
there really wasn't mutations, right?
And what really drives the market is when
you can combine animals and produce a bunch of cool stuff.
Now there's a bunch of cool stuff.
We can get it into T negative.
We can get into T positive.
We can get into hypo, just the patternless side.
And that's just this particular mutation.
And there's still a lot more to go.
Let's move on to box 3.
This box actually says patternless hets BP.
BP. What could BP stand for?
I don't know what it could possibly stand for.
So BP, I don't know guys.
Let's go ahead and find out.
(packaging rustling)
Okay. So again, we've got,
but I don't know why it says het BP.
It doesn't say anything on here.
So I am in a little bit of confusion,
but I do see this little monkey here that has some pattern.
So it looks like we've got,
there's a little bag here too.
Oh wait, this is a normal BP.
So, we're about to find out what BP means,
because I don't know what it means.
Oh, wait, it's a ball python.
Wait a second. (laughs)
Okay, so this is a ball python.
So, these are obviously not het for ball pythons,
or are they?
Move on to package number 4.
This one actually says a mixed morphs.
So I'm assuming that there's mixed morphs in here.
Or it could be ball pythons,
I have no idea what's going to be
in this box, but I'm excited.
No, this is, I actually think it's cooler when
you don't know what's coming in.
When you order something
and you know what it's in, it's exciting,
cause you're like, Oh, I can't wait to see
what it actually looks like, but when you have no clue,
it's actually almost more fun
because you really, literally have no clue.
And let's see,
ooh, already I've looked at some beautiful animals here.
So we have a T negative, het T positive,
but, for some reason,
this T negative is really orange.
I mean, this is much more like
what you would expect an albino to look like.
And that thing is an absolute ripper.
Again, you can see how maybe someone that wants a small,
almost python looking colubrid,
cause these guys really looked like little pythons,
so they don't even look like colubrids
to be honest with you.
We have another little T negative right over here.
Let's see what else.
Ooh. This is really nice.
This is actually a T positive sun glow again.
We had that from that first box we had one,
but this one is even more interesting.
Wow. Look at these little guys. Oh my God.
But look at the head right there.
I mean, it looks like a little python.
I remember actually, when I was like literally 15 years old
and I got my first pair of them,
the reason I got them was my vet at the time
actually had studied in South Africa
and she had a pair of house snakes as pets.
And I was like, Oh my God, they look like little pythons,
I need to get them.
And that's why I ultimately got them.
And then we got some T positives,
some T negatives, absolutely beautiful animals here.
Got another little hypo here.
And then we got another little hypo here, so.
I tell you what, they're all amazing to be honest with you,
but I really like the hypos.
I love those patternless ones.
And these T negative albinos, holy cow,
these things are absolute rippers, so.
Listen, my house snake collection just increased by about
I don't know, maybe about 80 animals or so,
something like that. I'm pretty excited about it.
Some of these will go on the BHB website,
cause we're not going to keep them all.
And I'm, tell you what, I love it.
I can't wait to see what else he produces this year,
because we're going to have a whole bunch
of cool house snake mutations, so,
stay tuned for that.
And there it is.
A pretty cool house snake.
And by the way, welcome to the vlog reptile army.
I hope the start of you day is absolutely incredible,
and speaking of reptile army,
do me a favor, down below,
comment what shirts you liked the best
with the new additions as well.
We're about to drop 6 or 8 more designs,
so to go to reptilearmy.com.
Let me know which one you like and I'll pick 2
or 3 of you guys and send you a little care package
of the piece of merch you liked the best.
So go to reptilearmy.com.
Listen guys, join the movement.
Let's help get the world loving reptiles.
Okay reptile army, let's sing along.
(singing) Python eggs and pythons eggs
and python eggs and python eggs.
(stops singing) That's right,
let's grab some python eggs.
And this happens to be a nice big het caramel female
wrapped around a beautiful clutch of eggs right here.
And she was actually bred to:
to this super clean, beautiful animal here
which is actually a banana fire spider black.
So it's a banana, it's a fire,
it's a pastel, it's a pinstripe and it's a spider.
So we should produce a pretty good combos out of here.
Let's see how many eggs mama has.
As always, mama is not happy.
Whoa.
Tell you what, perilous job collecting snake eggs
but actually she's just a ball python,
so she's going to be fine.
I'm going to try to get her,
don't you roll that egg girl, don't you roll that egg.
Got to get it to where
there's one little loose egg in here, right here, so,
I got it before she rolled it.
Put that one in real quick,
and this looks like a really beautiful clutch of eggs.
Oh, there's an egg way in the back over here
that she kicked out.
Definitely going to have to candle this egg
because, I don't know,
she definitely rolled that one and kicked it out.
So we'll candle that one and get the rest of them.
Wow. This is a nice clutch.
It looks like another little loose egg here.
So we'll candle a few of these eggs
because anything that's loose
we're going to want to make sure that we candle.
But the rest of the eggs look nicely
and clumped together really beautifully.
Alright, so go ahead get the rest of these eggs in here.
Wow. This is quite a clutch.
We'll have to remove these two eggs
obviously, just really gently,
but because these really look
like they were laid very shortly ago,
they're really pliable and easy to get off.
Again, after they dry up for a while,
it becomes really hard to get the eggs apart.
So you want to catch the clutches
as early as you possibly can.
So that if you do need to remove them,
if you have a shallow egg box, like I prefer,
you have to get these off pretty quick without ripping eggs
and stuff like that,
because these eggs actually will rip,
and you're too rough with them, so.
Gosh, these eggs hardly even fit in the egg box here.
We've got to candle, these 3 eggs, but we've got
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11 eggs.
I think that's tied for the most eggs of the year.
Last year. we had 12 eggs once,
but we have 11 eggs twice this year.
So that is a beautiful clutch.
Let's candle these eggs
and we'll get these in the incubator.
- What is going on here with these mangroves?
- [Brian] What are you talking about?
- There's way too many, what are you trying to do?
(Brian mumbles)
- Is it English? Cause you're saying too many mangroves,
I can't comprehend what you're saying to me.
No, there's not too many mangroves, sorry.
- Yeah there is, what's the game plan here?
Like what are you trying to do?
- Game plan raise them up and breed 'em.
- Nobody needs to have that many pair of mangroves.
- This guy right here needs this many mangroves.
- No, that's something dumb.
Pick your favorites and we're leaving some out.
- No, no, no, no, no, no.
We worked really hard to grow the group that where
we're at, we've got to keep the mangroves.
- To what? To become the world's largest producer
of mangroves?
- That sounds like a pretty good title to me.
- No.
- I like it.
- No.
- No, I like 'em.
- Tag your favourites. The rest are going goodbye.
- Literally, Laurie,
if you get rid of my mangroves, I'm leaving.
- Okay.
- Little Nova and Lilith the frill dragon update.
Cause I know a lot of you guys are like,
"I want to get baby frillys."
Well, there's no doubt she is loaded with eggs,
you can see her way up at the top there.
Her boyfriend, obviously it's protecting her right there
saying, daddy, don't you even get close to my girlfriend.
But the fact is she's definitely getting ready to
lay her first clutch of the eggs.
Hopefully we'll get 2 or 3 clutches this year.
And then for those you guys that
want a little baby Nova and Lilith,
maybe there'll be available here in the next few months.
I'm going to be honest with you guys,
an animal that I really hardly ever show off
that I think it's so unbelievably incredible
of course, are these chahoua geckos.
These are all new caledonia geckos here,
but the fact is, is these are a little bit in between
like the crested gecko, the gargoyle gecko,
and of course the leachi gecko,
and this one's going to jump, oh there he goes.
But look at the colour.
Again, if you want a new caledonia
that's a little bit bigger than a crested or a gargle,
but you don't want a big leachi,
these are definitely amazing animals.
And I tell it, they are beautiful.
I hope you guys enjoyed this video.
I enjoyed getting all those new house snakes,
absolutely incredible.
