- Hey, good morning everybody,
and welcome to the vlog.
I hope the start of your day is absolutely amazing.
By the way, look what I found out!
Bowser, you silly monkey, you!
Bowser, of course, we try to bring out
at least once very few weeks
just to kind of do a little bit of a health check on him
to make sure he's okay.
And I tell you what, he is one strong monkey.
Just wanna check his feet, make sure his feet are all good.
You know, inside that mouth I can look, good,
look at his carapace, even check his underside,
just to make sure everything is still healthy.
He is unbelievable.
Prehistoric, crazy beautiful animal.
It is going to be an absolutely amazing day.
Why don't we push our problems aside
and have a great day together?
By the way, we had those amazing
Super Lori Leopards hatch out.
I cannot wait to show you those guys.
And from the moment that we cut this clutch,
I have been waiting for this exact time.
And that's when these guys all hatched out!
The Super Lori Leopards.
And this entire clutch is ridiculous.
I'm not gonna lie.
Look at the Lori Leopards alone.
I mean, the Lori Leopards are ridiculous.
And there's a bunch of 'em here!
This is a Lori Leopard, this is a Lori Leopard here,
and look at how crazy!
Each one is a little bit different.
I mean, we really,
the odds on this clutch were ridiculous.
Another Lori Leopard Ball Python.
There's another Lori Leopard Ball Python here.
Then a couple normal Lori Ball Pythons
which are pretty cool in itself.
But let's just get right to it.
I mean, come on.
As much as the Lori Leopards are amazing,
this is the animal that I wanted to look at.
The Super Lori Leopards, oh my goodness.
There's one right here.
Here's a second one that is a ripper as well.
Oh my gosh!
And then of course there's this one
that might be the best one of all.
I mean, look at the pattern on that thing.
Unbelievable!
I mean, take a look at three Super Lori Leopards right here!
That is ridiculous.
I mean, silver, blue, unbelievable.
Now, as these guys get older,
the blue does kinda get more brownish and tannish
and stuff like that.
So they're not as incredible.
But as babies, woo doggy.
And then I start thinking
like how can we keep them blue, like down the road?
What mutations do we have to breed into 'em?
What would happen if you put an Enchi into 'em?
What would happen if you put Desert Ghost into 'em?
I mean, there's so many, Hypo, Banana, you know,
there's so many things you could do
that are gonna make these things incredible.
But the fact that we have three Super Lori Leopards,
unbelievable.
And the fact that they hatched out, I am overjoyed.
What do you say we sex 'em right now?
We'll get the first one, the crazy stripy one first.
And right off the rip we've got a little girl.
Okay.
So we've got a little female here.
Let's see what this boy or girl is right here.
Another little female, so two females.
I hope we get one male, come on.
Give me one male.
And there's the boy!
All right, so we ended up having two females right here
and a boy.
That's a trio, that's crazy.
I'm definitely gonna keep at least a pair of these.
Maybe I will offer one up for sale,
one female Super Lori Leopard.
I'm not 100% sure yet if I'm gonna do that,
but we'll get them set up, get 'em shed,
I'll get 'em feeding before we make the final decision.
But oh my gosh, these babies are to die for.
One of the coolest clutches that I've hatched out
so far this year, and maybe ever in my entire career.
This next Corn snake clutch that just hatched out
was actually a Black Motley Corn.
But it was actually, interestingly enough,
bred to a het Black Motley Scaleless,
so I would have expected to get
some Black Motley Corns out of this, and we didn't.
What we ended up getting was a bunch of
normal Black Corn snakes, very cool ones.
There are some with some really interesting.
As a matter of fact,
that almost looks like a Ghost Corn snake.
It's really interesting.
And then we got some Snow Corn snakes.
And that's one of the things
that's interesting with Corn snakes.
A lot of times there's a lot of hidden genetics.
When you're like,
oh, well this is just het for one thing,
you end up producing three or four different things.
So that's just kinda how it goes.
That's because so many people
have bred so many mutations into the Corns.
It's actually almost impossible to get a Corn snake
that isn't carrying multiple genes to be honest with you.
Nevertheless, Black Corn, Snow Corns,
these are all also possible het for Scaleless now,
and are absolutely 100% het for Motley.
In the dungeon, which can only mean one thing.
♪ Egg time, egg time, egg time, egg time ♪
♪ Egg time ♪
And I'm not gonna lie to you,
remember the other day when we pulled this clutch of eggs
and I said this could be a life-changing clutch
because it's been a project I've been working on
for like seven years?
And I said I had two potential clutches?
Well, this is number two right here.
Again, this could be the het
for this particular recessive mutation
if it is a recessive mutation.
So now we have two clutches to pull from here.
I'm gonna pull mama off here.
Go ahead, get off, mama, you're okay.
And again, another beautiful clutch.
I could not be happier.
The one thing I was really worried about
with this project is what happens
if they slugged out, right?
It would mean I'd have to wait an entirely 'nother year.
The fact that we had seven eggs from the first clutch,
and I'm not sure how many from the second clutch,
but it looks like about the same number.
I'm just gonna go ahead and get these in the egg box
and we can count them up.
But now we have two clutches,
and then our odds are much better.
Because the truth is is that recessive to recessive
on average is one in four babies would be the actual
what they would call the homozygous or visual, right?
So now, we actually have two, four, six, seven more eggs.
That means we have fourteen eggs total.
Out of fourteen eggs, in theory we should have
three of those visual animals.
This at least extends our opportunity to produce it, right?
So, and it's only a few days, maybe four or five days apart,
so when we hit the first clutch,
if it turns out to be recessive, we are golden,
and we can look forward to cutting this clutch.
If we miss on the first clutch,
we at least have the second clutch coming
in just a handful of days to hopefully prove it out.
Like I said, game changer, gonna be amazing.
I hope this works out just so I can share it with you guys.
But that's it.
The only clutch today down in the dungeon,
but it was a banger!
(upbeat funky rock music)
(arms whoosh through air)
And we have a have a clutch of eggs
that actually ironically enough,
one egg is already pipped out,
which tells me that they are
obviously ready to get cut, right?
Again, usually 57, 58 days
they will actually pip out on their own.
I try to get there just before they pip.
Sometimes I miss out, and one already pipped out.
Can have a combination of all kinds of Banana stuff,
Banana Extreme Gene, a Banana Spider, Extreme Gene Banana,
all that type of stuff.
Let's just go ahead and jump right into egg number one.
The first egg is always like that exciting egg, you know?
I don't know why, I guess all of 'em are exciting.
But looks like we have, ohh, what the heck?
Right off the bat we get an animal
that doesn't make any sense.
It looks like it's a Pastel.
We shouldn't have a Pastel.
Well maybe it's just...wait a second.
Maybe it isn't a Pastel.
Maybe it's just a really pretty normal.
Wow, that's a bizarre looking.
I think it is a normal, but it's really cool.
So who knows, I don't know,
maybe there's something else genetically going on.
Maybe this is the Extreme Gene?
I don't know.
Let's just jump on to egg number two.
And like I always try to say, you know,
I am always learning and figuring things out myself,
so I get shocked all the time as well.
This is another just normal Ball Python in the second egg.
That looks like, and I think it is
that Extreme Gene has got some influence on it.
The Extreme Gene is kind of just a little bit
of a reduction of pattern.
Kinda makes things enhanced and stuff like that.
So I have a feeling the first two we hatched out
are gonna be Extreme Gene.
No Banana stuff yet.
So let's move on to egg number three.
All right, three, come on,
let's get something interesting here, guys, let's go.
All right, all right, ohhh!
Yeah, baby.
Woo hoo hoo!
Yeah, we hit it, right there.
That is the Banana.
Oh my gosh, this thing is amazing.
This is the Banana Extreme Gene Spider,
and it is a zinger!
I mean, that is one of the prettiest
Extreme Gene Bananas I've ever seen.
Wow!
There is such a reduction of pattern.
That is gonna be absolutely a ripper.
The dad's really pretty, but that one is amazing.
So, we finally hit the all gene animal.
Let's move on.
So hopefully we get some more of that type of stuff in here
because that was pretty incredible.
Let's see, okay, so we just have a Banana here.
Um...could be a Banana Extreme Gene,
we'll wait 'til it actually hatches out.
But definitely a Banana, so that's cool.
We're starting to hit some Banana stuff,
which is what we really wanted out of this clutch
to begin with, right?
Let's move on to egg number five.
And here we go, egg number five,
what do we have, what do we have?
All right.
It looks like another Banana.
But what kind of Banana?
This looks like again another Banana Extreme Gene Spider.
This one isn't quite as reduced as the other one.
But still really beautiful!
Again, another Banana Extreme Gene Spider.
So, doing pretty good.
Three more eggs to go.
And what will we have?
Ohh, the odds are getting better and better as we go here.
Another Banana Extreme Gene Spider!
That's three of 'em!
Woo!
I tell you, that's pretty good.
And now this next egg was the animal that was pipped out.
I could tell because of its nose that it was a Banana.
I don't know if it's a Spider,
don't know if it's Extreme Gene,
but we know it's a Banana.
So we hit four Bananas in a row,
about to be five Bananas in a row.
And we're just gonna be really gentle with this one
because it's already starting to pip out.
We don't want to obviously cut the animal
or do anything so we're always very, very careful.
And oh, this is cool.
This is definitely a Banana Extreme Gene.
You can really tell the Extreme Gene with the Banana.
So it's not a Spider, but it is a Banana Extreme Gene.
One egg to go.
I tell you what,
starting with two kinda normally looking animals,
and just running the table with Bananas
has been pretty awesome.
One more egg, let's see if we can continue on the streak.
And what do we have here?
Yep, looks like a Banana!
Don't know what kind of Banana yet,
but definitely a Banana.
So that is awesome!
I mean, gosh, it is so cool!
And again,
looks like another Banana Extreme Gene, definitely.
So, it looks like we hit at least two Banana Extreme Genes,
maybe one Banana possible Extreme Gene,
three Banana Extreme Gene Spiders,
and then a couple maybe just Extreme Genes.
This was an awesome odds clutch!
But with what the breeding is,
you couldn't have expected any better results than that.
That was absolutely epic.
Guess what time it is, guys?
♪ Egg time, egg time, egg time, egg time ♪
♪ Egg time ♪
(laughs) Egg time.
I don't know if you guys are gonna be sad
when we're done with this,
or you're gonna be so happy to never hear that jingle again.
I'm not sure, I know I still love it.
So I hope that you guys do.
And we literally only have a handful
of Colubrid clutches left
so definitely getting to the end of the season.
I know I've been saying that for the last week or so,
but seriously, there is just a handful of clutches.
This is actually a Creamsicle.
Ohh, mama is upset!
Mama, hey, hey, hey.
Hey.
(laughs)
Get out of here.
Mama, what is going on?
Wow, she is definitely upset as could be,
that is for sure.
We're gonna tip mama in here,
we'll get her all cleaned up and ready to go.
She is actually a Creamsicle Heffer Scaleless bred
to another Creamsicle Heffer Scaleless.
This is her second clutch,
and actually a really beautiful clutch.
Two, four, six, seven eggs there,
so we've got this one good clutch.
And then I looked at another clutch with Paul real quick,
it didn't look like the fertility was very good,
but we have to pull 'em anyways,
so let's go ahead just do that.
And like I mentioned, this one definitely didn't look like
it was gonna have very many good eggs in it,
but again, we're gonna always pull it out.
This is actually a het Silver Queen Scaleless
bred to an absolutely stunning male for sure.
Of course this guy right here
which is a Scaleless Silver Queen
which is basically just a really light Ghost Corn snake.
But a Scaleless one.
He's absolutely beautiful.
And he did father some clutches this year, so.
But this again, second clutch, it happens.
And it looks like, eh, eh, eh, maybe,
Ow! She got me.
Darn girl.
These girls are being protective today.
I'll get mama back in here,
get her all cleaned up, get her water,
all that good stuff.
And I'll be honest with you,
from what I see right here, it looks like maybe,
it looks like just one good egg in this clutch.
But the one egg does look good,
and you never know what's gonna happen, who knows.
Maybe we'll hatch a scaleless silver queen
from that one egg.
Other than that, a bunch of dogs.
Well actually, this one looks like it might be okay, too.
I'll just send it up.
Not sure if that one is,
I'll probably candle it to make sure.
But looks like one, maybe two good eggs.
That's the way it goes,
we're wrapping up their breeding season.
I would say four, five more clutches,
and we are done for the year with Colubrid.
You guys remember our little science project
Spotted Python clutch?
It had the see through eggs?
Well, guess what?
They are hatching!
And this is weird, because we had one or two eggs
that were a little bit see through,
but now you can literally see the animal right in the egg!
It's almost like it's parchment paper.
It is bizarre.
I've never seen a clutch like this.
So we have a little head sticking out here,
but you can definitely see
all of the babies, all the patterns,
all that type of stuff,
these ones have obviously already hatched out.
The other ones are coming.
That is just crazy.
I've never seen anything like this,
so there it is, guys, science experiment is over.
And it hatched out with a bang, for sure.
Cool!
Absolutely amazing.
Love little Spotted Pythons, and you know,
we always need more Spotted Pythons.
But this is wild.
Look it, you can see the snake
moving around in the egg like that!
Woo hoo, I tell you, I've never seen anything like it.
I am just blow away.
