- Hey, good morning everybody,
and welcome to the Vlog.
I hope the start of your day is amazing.
It's gonna be an incredible day today.
Because Colubrids are actually
coming out of brumation today.
How exciting is that, the lights are on
and basically you guys know that
we do about three months dark and cold in here,
drops down to about 60 degrees.
And now we go 12 and 12 with the light cycle.
So as of today, lights are on for 12 hours.
And the deal is that this apparatus right here
actually was drawing cold air in from outside
on a thermostat that was actually set
down to 60 degrees, right?
So basically it was running, sucking air.
So we've now, what we've done is
just unplugged it so that it's not blowing air.
But we're gonna go ahead, put some cap on this
so that no cold air, 'cause I can still feel
a little bit of cold air coming in,
just naturally dropping in.
We have to block this off
so that we can get this room to about
78 degrees by next week.
You don't wanna warm up too quick.
You don't wanna go from 60 degrees to 80 degrees in a day
because then you actually shock them in right?
But what we have to do is slowly gradually lift them up.
Hopefully next week we'll do the first small meal.
And then the week after we start crushing.
We just start hammering them with food.
We start breeding them and it's gonna be amazing.
The only question is is of course
this is a new environment so we've got a lot to learn.
Remember we always brought them upstairs
to the other place over at BHP.
Now they're in the basement here
next to the VIP room and the podcast room
and stuff like that.
So we're gonna have to learn how to use this room right.
First off I just wanna kind of go through
and just see how the animals look.
This is actually a hypo Pueblan milk snake.
Still a little dormant, still not moving tons,
still cold to the touch.
But again, we just started to warm things up.
So it's only up a couple degrees right now.
You can kind of see this one's a little bit more awake.
This is a Halloween Pueblan milk snake right here.
And basically what I'm gonna do is just go through
and kind of look at all the animals.
Getting an idea of how they're actually doing
and then just work on blocking that up
get the actual temperature.(roar)
a little bit better in here.
And oh, look at this guy right here.
Oh you're a feisty monkey.
This is actually an Albino Chinese Beauty snake.
And it's a little cranky monkey.
This one's like,
"Hey, you better keep me back in brumation."
I'll go ahead and shut this one.
Take a look at these right here.
Hoo doggie, I am so excited about this.
This is the first year we're breeding
Licorice Rat Snakes again in quite a few years.
They are absolutely beautiful.
So it is so cool to have Fou-Lu breath
back up out of brumation.
Now the only question is
is who exactly is taking care of these guys?
You guys may be noticing down in the background
when I'm vlogging and stuff like that
there's some new faces around here.
We've actually been adding some people to the crew,
kinda switching some things around,
just so much is going on.
We're kinda growing a lot.
So we have to add positions
and that's kind of all part of it.
So that's kinda why I really don't even know
what's going on with the Kluver
so I definitely have to get to the bottom of this.
- What's your last name again?
- Julia.
- You ask me every single
- What is it though?
- Pretty excited about this 'cause again
I'm just so, I'm so excited about the VIP area.
So I got a couple of these in.
oh, I'm mad now because they're supposed to be
So anyways, these are pillows.
But I don't understand why there's not something more.
There supposed to come with the pillows on the inside too.
How does this worK?
Anyways, I've got, I'll have a subscribe YouTube.
I'll have a YouTube pillow.
- Ooh, that's sick
- YouTube.
Then there's another YouTube pillow,
a different one, go over here.
And finally, ah, here it is.
A play button.
(laughing)
- Those look dope.
- I think I might be completely wrong,
but I think that these are maybe blow up pillow inserts,
but I'm not a hundred percent sure.
So anyways, just a little accent piece for the VIP room so
that when you guys come and do a little VIP with me
it will be cool.
But I don't know what these are.
These are crazy.
What is this?
- Need a Knife?
- I need a k-nife.
K-nife.
SO this is a vacuum. Okay.
- What?
- So once you unvacuum they puff up.
- That was dope.
- Okay. YouTube pillow number one.
- I like it.
- Nice little splash of color.
You know the YouTuber thing. I'm excited.
- [French Voice] One eternity later.
- Hey Noah,
- Yeah?
- Do you know who's taking care of colubrid this year?
Are you?
- I think mom, I see mom.
- Is she taking care of him again?
- Yeah.
- 'Cause that's what she did last year.
- I see her in there every day.
- Yeah. Oh, that'd be good.
'Cause I know she did this last year
but that's how she said she wasn't going to this year.
- Every day. I see her in there.
- Okay, good.
- Ashley, are you taking care of Kluver this year
or is Laurie?
- Laurie.
- Laurie is taking care of Kluver this year?
- And Caleb.
- Caleb?
- Wait a second, is it Caleb, who's taking
are you taking care of Kluver this year?
- Who cares?
I'm the one that worried about it?
You, you don't have to worry about anything.
- No, I do worry about it.
I'm just, I just know what am I doing?
I'm overseeing, I oversee everything here.
A very important role I have in this business.
No, I'm just here as, are you, are you taking care
of Colubrids or is Caleb Kayla or is Ashley taking
care of Colubrids?
Yes. Yes.
Yeah. So Ashley, Caleb and you are taking care of Colubrids.
I just want to make sure we're breeding.
We had a great year last year when you bred them.
And I just want to make sure we have a good year
because they just came up on probation.
So they're going to be in control because you did it
but you didn't cap the thing off, but that's another story
I'm not going to talk about
but so you're taking care of close this year.
I don't know why you can't just get a-
- I do.
I have no idea what's going on.
You're asking answers you don't need.
So you don't have to worry about it
- Jessica are you taking care of Colubrids?
- I don't think I have time to take care of the colubrids
- Someone's gotta take care of the Colubrids!
- They'll be- they're good.
All right.
- We're all set
Guys remember we now have the fella's banana
shirts available
but they're only going to be available for a
short period of time.
By the way, you guys may not know this
but we got a huge snowstorm.
It's a little bit cold outside
and I tell you what, these are not only comfortable
but they are so warm so Maverick,
what do you say we go out and give it a try.
- Yeah, this works perfect.
It's absolutely beautiful.
You have to remember all
Although I was breeding some boas
and ball pythons and stuff like that.
When I really started, I was a Colubrid guy.
I mean, that's really what started my whole career.
I had so many more colubrids than I did boas and pythons.
So it's always exciting to have these guys back up
take a look at this candy cane
corn snake right here.
I mean, that is just an absolute ripper
and it's really good.
That things seem to be in pretty good body weight
meaning they took the brumation well, you know
you're always going to have a little bit of thin, right?
They're going to lose a little bit
of weight during brumation, but you can put that on.
As soon as they come out and start feeding like crazy.
This happens to just be a beautiful red line albino.
So it's just no albino corn but its
polygenically bred to have like a lot of red in it.
Speaking of polygenically bred,
Of course we have some
of these coral corn snakes right here, this coral snow.
That's absolutely crazy.
This happens to be a coral snow motley.
And it's just really beautiful.
That kind of contrast that goes on.
I mean, that thing is crazy.
Of course.
You guys remember from last year, I'm going to talk a lot
about it again this year when I'm breeding is
Abbott's Okeetee and scaleless Abbott's Okeetee this is one
of the Abbott's Okeetees here.
Absolutely incredible.
And again, it just warms my heart to be in here
and that's no pun intended.
The fact that we're starting to warm up
the fact is it's awesome to finally have these animals up.
I always say
that every year when you bring these animals out
it's almost like you inherit a brand new collection, right?
Something that you haven't seen
in a while and this right here is actually
an Amber Motley scaleless corn snake.
Donny. That thing is a gorgeous animal.
So first year that this one's going to potentially breed.
So we're really excited
about the new stuff that is coming up to, you know
not only the stuff that we've been breeding for a long time
but stuff that's just been around for the very first time.
Of course, Mexican black Kings are always a hit
and these guys are going to be amazing this year.
Every time we produced these guys, they go crazy.
As a matter of fact, I think Laurie actually has a couple
Mexican black kings that never made it on the website.
So I'll try to bug her.
If you guys are looking for them I'll get them
on the BHB site and you guys can check it out.
Of course, we just have some apparent high white, black
and white cow Kings.
You guys know I've been kind of preaching this black
and white cow King thing for the last year
or so saying that this is like kind
of a project that people are going to really start picking
up much like the Mexican black Kings, you know
because they're so beautiful.
And that contrast is so incredible.
I can't believe they're not more popular
than they already are.
Not to me.
I mean, they already are popular
but they're going to get even more so
and this is another variation of it.
This is a mosaic of black and white calking.
Again, an animal that's predominantly black
but has the white kind of triangles
on its size like that mosaic type of pattern.
Like I said, guys, it's going to be a banger of a year.
And basically what will happen is our first meals
will be probably about five
or six days when we get the temperatures up high enough.
Because right now
if we fed them, they probably regurgitate.
Cause there's not enough heat in here for them to digest.
We'll feed them a small meal
get that digestive system working with a small meal.
And then about a week later, we go heavier and heavier.
And within two or three weeks
we are feeding these guys like crazies.
Remember what I always say, calories and production out.
This is the time of the year when females need calories.
So we start giving them calories.
We'll start putting them together to breed them here
in about a week, week and a half as well.
It goes quick guys.
They go through a post hibernation shed.
Then they go through a prelate shed and then egg laying.
This is all gonna happen in the next six weeks.
So guys get ready for egg time.
It's coming your way.
Just continue to decorate down here.
Bring in my, my YouTube play buttons that I'm so proud
of this, of course our million
for the vlog channel, which is pretty cool.
And then we have a hundred thousand for Snake Bites
TV as well as the a hundred thousand
for the vlog channel, getting close.
I mean you guys, I want to root resurrect the animal bites
snake bites, TV channel.
Cause we're at like 800 and something thousand subscribers.
I would love to get another play button for that.
Not to mention
we need to get the podcast channel to a hundred K.
So we get a play button for the podcast channel.
So if you don't mind do me to me a favor
go show that some love.
All right
- Good boy.
Good boy.
Good job.
- And just always continue.
Drogo training much.
Like we train the reptiles.
We have to train Drogo as a mammal and it's
about consistency, right?
He wants to have lots of kinds of enrichment
and he's getting better and better when we first got him.
I'm not going to lie to you taking him out with a little bit
of a challenge, but he can see he's done so good.
Right, Jay.
I mean, perfect.
He's going so good.
He's got a little bit of a dry nose right now.
Our humidity is up, but the weather outside, so-so cold
that it's drying out.
It's actual enclosure that 75% humidity.
I'd like to see his nose a little bit more wet to
be totally honest.
But nevertheless, he's doing really good.
And like I mentioned, you know, hopefully, maybe
one day we'll be able to have people hold Drogo, but again
we've got to train him so that he's in a position
that they're nothing ever could happen with stressing him
out or potentially him even biting someone.
Nevertheless, he is absolutely adorable.
You're so cute
- I literally have not.
Look at this! I think I got it.
That didn't really work well. I got that part down.
All right, right there.
(yelling)
That's definitely not safe.
Perfect advice.
- And by the way, you might notice that Bruce hasn't been
around the last bit right here in this spot.
Believe it or not.
Jay, the entertainer and Bruce were doing a Tik-Tok video.
He slipped on something right here, broke his ankle
literally broke his ankle, had surgery yesterday.
So he's going to be laid up for the next couple
of weeks, which means, Hey, we've got to work even harder
trying to keep things together without having Bruce here.
So it looks like I'm doing all the monitored trading
for the next couple of weeks.
There it is guys.
I hope you enjoyed it.
