- Hey, good morning everybody,
and welcome to the vlog.
I hope the start of your day is amazing.
It's gonna be a good one because we have a really cool,
eclectic bunch of snakes that Lori ordered that's coming in,
that's gonna be an unboxing.
Pretty cool.
Not ball pythons,
'cause I know we do a lot of ball python unboxing.
So it's a bunch of really cool stuff.
I cannot wait to get it going.
So what do you say we you hop into it,
go get that package
and do an unboxing really quick.
(whooshing sound effects)
Guess what guys, Lori bought me a present.
- It's not true.
- This is a present, right?
This is snakes for me.
- Okay, the present is you get to open it.
- No, but are there any seriously?
These aren't ball pythons.
- No, they're not.
- They are something.
I don't know what you ordered.
You told me you ordered it.
- [Lori] I did. - [Brian] And,
I was excited that you ordered it.
- [Lori] I did, I ordered for customers, not for you.
- I think that there's just stuff out,
but there's gonna be some stuff I get to keep, right?
Like if I go through and like stuff,
can I keep it? - No, that's not how it goes.
I already have - Oh, doggy!
- I have some stuff down here
to keep. - These are some nice snakes,
Lori.
- Stop making a mess.
- No, I'm just saying that
these are nice. - So, close your eyes here
I'll just show you
I see something right now that I did get to keep.
- Oh, okay, is it this one?
- [Lori] No.
- Aw, these are so dope.
Take a look at these.
These are actually Applegate Gopher Snakes.
This is one of my favorite albino colubrits for sure.
I mean, these things are cool.
How many did you get?
- [Lori] I got two pair.
- Two pair to keep.
Oh, we've got more than two pair?
- Yes, I have a few for sale too.
- So, why don't we keep those two
and then we have more than two pair.
So that would be really good.
We'll keep a bunch of these backwards
which'll be awesome.
But these are really cool.
Again, a gopher snake,
they call 'em Applegate albinos because
Rob Applegate is the one that produced
the first ones.
They have a lot of tones of white.
Just really beautiful.
As these get bigger, they get better and better and better
so I am excited that you got me those.
And I'm really excited that you got me
some more 50/50 Cal Kings too.
Look at this one here.
This one is definitely one I'm gonna wanna keep.
I can already tell.
I've been saying this for the whole year
that I think that the next big phase
is gonna be you know how like
Mexican Black Kings became all the rage,
everyone wanted Mexican black kings.
I just think that is the perfect,
I mean, black and white, the contrast, the color
I mean that thing is incredible.
- The real white ones are nice.
It really just depends on what the sex is
and what we already have.
- [Brian] I know, but I think we should definitely keep
some of those.
Is this just normal or is it just a 50/50 too?
- [Lori] It's a 50/50.
- Okay, so there is just a little bit more black
on this one.
You can see it's still a 50/50 Cal King
but it's more like a 30/70 Cal King
if they asked me to be totally honest with you.
And then again,
these are all what they call desert phased.
Oh, those are nice.
Of course, those are gonna be
some keepers too. - It's like a
Well, it's really more aberrant
'cause it's not a perfect straight.
- [Brian] Yeah, the striped Cal King.
So these are all the same.
Like you've got the 50/50,
you've got the aberrant, you've got the striped, all these,
and these are what they, again, they'd call desert phase
whereas the coastal phase are brown and yellow,
the desert phase are the black and white,
which is really cool.
Then we have sum' beautiful,
beautiful orange there.
This is really cool.
- These are called Variable Kings because
- They're so variable they are variable.
So these two are the same.
- [Brian] They could be from the same clutch.
- [Lori] Yep.
- Which is crazy.
They call these Nuevo Leonis milk snakes
and this would be called a milk snake phase
and then typically they call these a buckskin phase
because they used to be like a yellowish buck skin color
but now they're getting really orange
and stuff like that. - Sometimes they can, yeah.
- That's really cool.
These are beautiful so good job so far.
I lost the lid.
Oh, there it is.
It's so hard to see, I get so excited.
- Here you go, some albinos.
- Oh, those are really nice.
So these are some albino Cal Kings.
What are these exactly, Cause these are gorgeous.
- Albino Cal Kings.
- No, but would they be considered, aberrant?
Is that what they would be considered
'cause that thing is dope.
We should keep this one for sure.
Look at how cool that is.
- We're not keeping them all.
- No, not all of them, but this one for sure.
We should probably keep that one.
Gosh, there's so much great stuff in here.
It's been a while since, you know,
we really never get large colubrid shipments, right.
'Cause there's just not a lot of colubrids available
to buy in large quantity.
So I'm kinda surprised that you were able to find
another one that's really cool.
- That's why I bough 'em 'cause I
- So this is the more typical abberant, you know,
coastal albino Cal King
whereas the other one was really cool and I liked that one.
Gosh, I love it.
Got some corn snakes here.
What do we have here?
- [Lori] Just a few.
There's some different Tesseras, I think.
- Tessera corn.
This is an interesting Tessera corn.
It's interesting 'cause it doesn't have a lot of
pattern in its side.
So it's kind of a really clean,
beautiful Tessera for sure.
Looks like we've got a little black Motley Corn over
here so these are really cool.
I love Motley Corns and of course it's black.
We've produced some of the scaleless Anery Motley Corns
this year.
So this is the one that has scales.
And these all look good.
They look like they'd gotten a couple of meals and stuff
which is really good.
- So I got a decent number of these
and we haven't worked with these in a while.
We used to produce a lot of that.
- Sinaloans, yeap.
- We kinda got of 'em but yeah, Sinaloan milk snakes.
- Yeah, so the differences you might notice.
You might notice that when we hatched the
Nelson's milk snakes they look really similar
and basically the differences between the Nelson's
and the Sinaloans is the amount of bands.
I believe it's less than 13 bands Sinaloan country
more than 13 bands Nelson's country
and they come from just different localities
but that's how you can kinda tell 'em apart typically is
the amount of bands that they have.
Gosh, more thayeri.
- I've got these guys too.
- Uh, some more hypoproblins.
- Some are for sale
but I also needed a couple more males for Arthurs.
- Yeah. That's awesome.
So we're gonna just keep them all then
so there won't be any for sale of those.
Let's see what else we've got.
Ooh, hypo to Sarah.
This is a beautiful little hypo
to Sarah foreign snake right here.
That's really nice.
I always liked the way the Hypo corns go with the Terra corn
- What's that?
- That's really nice.
- It is really nice.
That is beautiful, isn't it?
- Oh, it's really nice.
- It's beautiful.
It is really a beautiful thing.
So this, this is cool.
Again, its very rare
I can't remember the last time that we're able to actually
unbox a big shipment of colubrid.
It's probably been at least five years
since we've had a big shipment of colubrid
so this is exciting.
What else, anything else exciting in here?
I mean, it's all beautiful.
- Yeah, I think just some more
stripped here. - Oh, look at black and white
Cal King.
Whoa, that is a beautiful snake right there, wow.
Look at that.
That's a striped Cal King
but it's got a lot of white in the sides.
Wow, that would be a really nice.
When this is a year old
you're gonna really like this one
when we put that on the shelf and raise it up for a year.
- [Brian] So when do I get a chance to go through
and mark the ones I want to keep?
Can I please?
No.
So I want to tell you a quick story.
A little story time with the bar tax, if you don't mind.
- All right, what's the story.
- Story time goes that we produce these really cool pythons.
They were called Savu pythons.
You guys might remember.
Well, I put 'em on the shelf and I was like,
I'm gonna raise all these Savu pythons up
because they were really dope.
We only have a pair of adults.
We produced 11 babies.
I thought, well, I'm gonna sex 'em out.
I'm gonna keep a big group because they're so cool.
Went downstairs yesterday and was like,
why is there only one Savu?
Where'd you put the rest?
I thought maybe she moved them into a different rack.
What happened, Lori?
- Oh, I sold them.
You probably know 'cause some of you probably got them.
- Yeah, thanks guys.
Thanks for everyone that bought those from my snake.
- Thank you.
No, you didn't have any notes on them,
which I would have erased anyways.
- I told you I wanted to keep 'em all.
She sold my Savu pythons.
She sold all of 'em.
- We have a pair, and that's all we need.
- No we don't, we need more.
When do I get a chance to say what I wanna keep out of here?
- Stay in your own lane, okay?
This isn't your lane.
You don't do anything with colubrids.
You don't know what's
going on. - I do, I hatch all
the colubrids.
I pool all the eggs.
- Yeah, exactly.
You take the fun, you take the fun part.
- Without me, there would be no colubrids.
- Really?
No.
Without me there would be no colubrids
'cause you'd have no eggs to form.
- He can't run faster than that.
- I'm always excited to team up with things that I think
that you guys are gonna love.

And as always
I appreciate you guys supporting the companies
that support this vlog.
Tell you what those were some awesome snakes.
Now I gotta just convince Lori to allow me to keep
a bunch of 'em if you know what I mean.
But speaking of unboxing,
today we are supposed to get a super special package, man.
I tell you what, I was really, really excited about it.
Kind of an emotional journey,
I'll tell you more about that.
But unfortunately the package got stuck in Indianapolis.
It happens, we ship a lot.
Everything's gonna to be fine.
I'm sure it's gonna be no problem
and you'll find out more about that tomorrow.
Trust me it's going to be a crazy one
and it's definitely going to be an emotional ride for me.
Definitely tune in tomorrow
and you'll find out what was supposed to be here today.
When I have to do a vlog one day,
just on all the ball pythons I'm keeping this year
to kind catch you guys up to date.
But some of 'em are really incredible.
This happens to be
a Banana Cinny Lori ball python right here.
Unbelievable.
The banana and cinny stuff is always great.
Then you add that Lori,
it just changes the entire color of the animal.
Makes it really interesting.
I mean, it's definitely really super bizarre.
Again, I didn't expect the Lori
to kinda do that to the banana stuff.
And then when you add it to the cinnamon together.
Oh my gosh, this thing is so cool.
Again, this is a boy
so we've got two of these that we're gonna be raising up
and breeding them.
Who knows what we'll breed 'em into,
but it's gonna be pretty amazing.
Maybe we'll breed into that Lori Leopard
to get a Banana Super Lori Leopard Cinny.
Oh my gosh, could you imagine what that would look like?
And here's another ripper of a Lori project here.
It's a relatively similar mutation
than what I just showed you.
The only differences is this added pinstripe to it.
So it's a Banana, it's a Cinny,
it's a Lori and it's a Pinstripe.
So basically exact genetics as the other one,
just added with the pinstripe.
And again it just makes it look completely different.
The purples, the orange is coming through.
Unbelievable.
And again, this female that produced this
was a Super Lori Pinstripe.
So I know everything in the clutch has to be a Lori
ball python.
So there's no guessing, like I think it might be a Lori
might not be a Lori because it's an incomplete dominant
and this is a super version of it.
We know every single baby in the clutch has to be Lori
so that really makes this a powerhouse animal.
You guys know that the Lori project is something
that I've been talking about.
I think it's gonna be really big in the future.
I really messed up.
I should have been working on this 10 years ago cause I've
had the project for like 15 years,
but now I am gung-ho
and the results are just absolutely phenomenal.
And what the heck?
Just because I'm talking about Super Lori and Lori projects,
I've always got to show my
Super Lori Leopard ball python, right?
We actually had three of these this year.
They're coming up.
They're looking absolutely gorgeous.
I mean, what a cool animal.
I know I've showed you guys before,
but I'm like, hey, if I'm gonna talk about Lori ball pythons
I know you'd be disappointed
if I didn't show you the Super Lori Leopard.
- So what's going on?
Back at it again with my boy
Chicken Strip here with you guys.
So I actually wanted to give you guys
a little bit of a pretty typical scenario
that I gotta tell ya
it happens more times than I'd like to admit.
Let's just say you guys are walking through
a reptile show and then all of a sudden you see 'em.
Ya see that little cute little lizard face looking up.
You're getting that side eye like what are you doing?
Why are you looking at me?
And you just immediately go, I'm in love.
I've gotta have this animal.
That's pretty much 90% of the people that get these animals.
It's an inexpensive animal, not Chicken Stripper obviously,
but, like a typical Nile monitor or an Ornate monitor
is pretty inexpensive especially because import costs
pretty much practically nothing.
They're awesome animals, they are are beautiful animals,
but before you know it,
a guy like Chicken Strip only this big
gets to the big proportions of this girl right here.
I want you guys to notice,
see that long, long, fast tongue movement right there
that she is exhibiting.
So this is actually a great, great point here.
This is where I actually started noticing, okay,
this is truly a food response here.
This is an animal that's hungry.
He just wants a good bit of food right now.
Doesn't really care about anything else right now.
So what I would always do
instead of touching her with my hands,
I would actually use my snake hook.
I would sit there and I'd rub her on the back
and you see she's starting to look other places now.
She's looking around like, all right, you know,
this isn't what I want right now.
So now I can sit there and now I can actually touch her.
And it got to the point actually
where I would never even have to touch her with it.
I just show it to her.
That's when Brian and I started to actually
really brainstorm like, hey, maybe we could do
the same thing we're doing with Elvis with her.
So I do wanna emphasize here guys
that I don't wanna tell you guys,
don't go out and get a monitor or anything like that,
but do your research.
Don't just get into an animal like this.
You want their lives to be just as happy
as your life at your home.
And enjoy the animal when you can man.
These guys are incredible, intelligent creatures.
- Again, a really cool unboxing.
I loved getting new snakes
and tomorrow we've got that really special animal
so definitely tune in.
You're gonna wanna check that one out.
If you enjoyed the unboxing,
here's a playlist right over here.
All of a ton of unboxing snakes.
Up in this corner right here, you can do me a favor,

Hopefully you're subscribed to this blog channel
right over here.

Have an absolutely wonderful day.
Remember, be kind to someone
and I promise I'll see ya tomorrow.
