- Here we are a guys, deja vu again,
I'm sitting here at Salt & Pepper's enclosure,
and there is water coming out,
leaking onto the floor.
Came in this morning
the entire area was actually water,
way worse than it was last time,
we mopped it up, more water poured out,
we drain the tank down to hear what the waterfall running
more water pouring out.
We shut the waterfall off,
we sucked up all of the moisture
and for a minute it actually looked good,
it didn't look like water was coming out,
now it's about 20 minutes later
and there's water on the floor again,
which means that it could be a seam leak,
I'm not sure exactly what's going on.
Last time when we shut the waterfall off,
the water actually stopped.
Now, there's always a chance that down here below here
is an open cavity,
it could just be full of water a little bit,
and we've been sucking the water out with a vacuum
and it might just still have some residual water,
we don't know yet, but this is a disaster guys,
I tell you what I am freaking out.
This enclosure, I love it,
but it has been a nightmare since day one,
we've had nothing but problems with the leaking
and I am freaking out about it,
so I don't even know what to do.
Again I'm going to probably just have the vacuum
suck up all this water,
hopefully there won't be a leak,
and then it is just the waterfall
'cause if that's the case,
we just got to get Laurie over here,
'cause she's the one that fixed it last time
by seaming things up,
maybe there's another crack in the seam.
I'm not a hundred percent sure,
but if the water is down here
and the waterfall isn't going,
and there is water continuing to come out here
in the next hour,
that tells me that some seam is actually leaking,
which is my worst nightmare,
because that means we have to tear
the entire enclosure down.
This morning, I'll be honest with you,
I'm going to need some positive vibe from you guys.
'cause it's been starting out a little rough,
we had this leak,
Paul Cafaro, a friend of mine,
great YouTube channel,
fish guy, animal guy
was actually supposed to be here any minute,
and he missed his flight,
so now he might come next week instead of today,
and we had a bunch of really cool stuff planned for him,
I wanted to have him through some insane stuff,
starting with feeding Lucy.
So I guess we're just going to go ahead
and feed Lucy right now.
Again, guys, down the comments,
send me some positive vibes,
I need them badly.
Well obviously it's not the same of me feeding Lucy
as it is with Paul feeding Lucy,
there's no doubt about that,
but it's always so fun,
let's see what she's got going on.
Lucy, you want to come up?
Lucy?
Come on girl.
Come on.
I know you want it.
Come on.
Here you go, sweetheart.
Come on.
There she is.
I'm so glad that Lucy has turned back onto food,
I mean, again, she was off food for a few months,
she got a little bit thinner than what I'd like her to get,
now she's been pounding food up
and again, I think it would have been
a real kind of interesting thing to see Paul coming in here,
he likes snakes, but he's not like a snake guy,
so coming in with a giant snake, like Lucy
and being this closer to her,
it would definitely freak him out,
'cause I was gonna make him get in the cage,
just like I just did.
And then as she's coming up,
I'm sure he'd be like, "Oh my God, wait a second,
what's going to happen?
what's going to happen?"
But she took the rabbit really gently and stuff like that,
so we'll probably still do it,
if Paul comes up next week,
let me know in the comments,
what else you would like him to do?
And what experience should I make him do when he's here,
that'll be really fun,
like I said, he's a good guy, good friend of mine,
and I'm definitely looking forward
to having him show around,
but we actually have two rabbits for Lucy today,
so this is the first one,
we'll feed her another one here later on.
(upbeat music)
Just going to throw out a couple things really quick.
Obviously Reptile Army holiday swag,
would you like this?
Snake that ate the Christmas tree.
Puns are really cool stuff over at reptilearmy.com.
Remember we've got discord free,
you can our link is in the description.
And finally don't forget,
black Friday is coming up
for BHP Reptile's got a lot of stuff going on there,
so definitely want to keep you guys focused on that,
it's going to be a big, big sale,
bhpreptiles.com
or we're probably going to do
a black Friday Reptile Army as well,
so make sure you check out reptilearmy.com too.
So I was actually going to have Paul feed Salt & Pepper,
because obviously they're just amazing
and it's just cool to feed,
an alligator this side,
now he's a Florida guy,
so he's been around the alligators,
but I don't know if he's never fed albino alligators
or black alligators,
it would have been really cool,
but like I mentioned,
now no one's going to be feeding them today
because we're still trying to figure out
where all this water is coming from,
and I still don't know what the source is,
I don't know if it's leaking from a seam
or if something else is going on,
I'm definitely freaking out about it.
But again, I was going to have Paul
mess with Salt & Pepper as it turned out
that wouldn't have worked out anyways.
But ah, guys I don't even know what to say,
it's definitely put a monkey wrench in today,
I don't even know what's going on,
'cause every time I mop up the water,
I come back like 10 minutes later
and there's a puddle again,
and now the waterfall is off,
so that is definitely not good news
unless there was just a lot of water buildup
underneath that compartment that's leaking out
and let's hope that's the case
because then all we have to do is seam it up,
but if that's not the case,
literally, I don't know,
I think we're going to have to break
the entire exhibit down.
I certainly knew Paul would be excited about my buddy here,
he loves green apples
and I knew I was really excited to show Drogo.
And I was really excited to show Paul Drogo,
it's not every day that you get a chance
to interact with a sloth,
and Drogo is so amazing.
Again, we've had him for over a year now,
it's been like a year and three weeks
and it's crazy to think,
'cause I remember that trip going down to Florida
and being so crazy nervous
about like can we actually take care of it.
We built this entire enclosure,
we got the humidifier, we got the heat,
we've got everything in here.
I remember putting this tree,
how hard it was to get this straight here,
but it was all set,
but I still had that like anxiety,
like I had never taken care of anything like that.
And we wondered if it was going to be success,
and here we are a year later
and I can't imagine life without a sloth.
He is certainly abso...
Here you go, bud.
He is absolutely amazing,
here you go, sweetie.
There you go you lazy little monkey, you.
You're such a lazy little dude,
especially this time of day.
So trying to make this much of a good day
out of this as possible guys,
I'm not going to lie,
I'm kind of stressing out,
I'm not just kinda, I'm really stressing out,
but I'm trying the best to kind of be as positive as I can,
so again, I apologize if I'm a little bit on edge.
I definitely don't want to be that way,
maybe it's a good thing that Paul's flight
didn't make it
because If he would've been here,
I would have been stressing out about entertaining
and that's on and by next week,
hopefully we'll have this thing wrapped up,
I hope we can get this thing fixed
and we can do this all over again
with a little bit better situation.
You know what, it's awesome to be able
to have all these cool experiences
that we can offer people
mainly at the reptarium
but of course at BHB, there's a few things too,
'cause RJ is over here
and I was going to have Paul feed RJ as well,
but he's up top.
So the first thing I'm going to do
is get him back in the water.
Get back in the water bud, come on.
Back in the water,
back in the water.
There you go, buddy.
There you go.
And I know he's going to definitely want to eat,
so we thought out some chicken wings for him,
we're going to go ahead and give it to him right now.
You go.
That's amazing.
That's a great experience,
and I knew Paul would absolutely love it.
Come on up here bud,
up, up, up, up, up, up, up,
up, up, up, up, up, up,
up, up, up, up, up.
Op, you missed.
Up, up, up, up, up.
There we go, buddy.
He is getting good at jumping out of the water.
Again when we get him over at the reptarium.
He's going to be able to do this for people.
Come on, come on up.
Of course we'll have long tongs,
we're not going to have people doing this.
And so that's it,
I mean, that's a cool experience, right?
Again, we're not going to have people
hand feeding him like I do,
but again with long tongs,
it's going to be really cool for people
at the reptarium to be able to do that.
And I know Paul would have had an absolutely great time.
So again, just chuck one more thing up
that we can maybe do next week.
Of course, there's really no cooler experience
that even I get here at the reptarium
than getting in with my girl Ivy
and of course the Ariana and Jazz over there
and everyone is in the water today.
We of course have little Ariana right over here,
just kind of peeking out and stuff like that,
but everyone else was in shed
and just kind of chilling out here.
What I really wanted to do
is have Paul go in and swim in the water with them
and get that experience
'cause that experience is super cool.
Sitting up here,
especially when they're out of shed is really cool,
'cause they come off and they crawl all over you
and stuff like that,
but when they're in shed or in the water,
it's also really cool to get inside there.
So again, I wish I could somehow offer
that as an experience to everyone here at the reptarium,
'cause again, I trust these girls so much,
there's no way they're going to bite anyone,
and it'd be super cool,
if people could actually swim with them so,
it's food for thought.
How can I possibly do it?
But I'll be honest with you.
Today talking about water features
scares me a little bit.
We're about to put an entire aquarium on this place,
and after having the problems with the leaks,
with this alligator thing,
it scares the heck out of me to have,
a hundred thousand gallons of water upstairs,
that's going to definitely be a little periling
to be honest with you,
definitely going to have to think this one out
a little bit better
and make sure there's no more mistakes,
like what happened with Salt & Pepper's enclosure,
I don't know exactly,
again, hearing construction,
we just must not have done it right,
and it sucks that it's leaking like this.
So regardless it is cool
to be in with the Anacondas though.
- What do you do to your skin when you're dirty?
- You scrub it.
- We're going to scrub dup right now
- Scrub the dup in the tub.
- That one's kind of nice.
- So you want to grab that one?
- Jean I even see its head.
Dude it's just look like right there.
- Go ahead and grab that one,
I'll grab the mean one.
- I have a feeling that one's the mean one
'cause you just,
yeah, it is look at those,
look at that posturing,
it's all about the posturing.
- So go in from behind,
just don't get bit in the face.
- I'm trying, man, but this kid just taunt bro.
- Holy crap, dude I thought that was a nice one.
- I told you, it wasn't the nice one.
- Do you want a hug now?
- Oh my God, I think I had a clone.
I don't really know how to use this thing.
- [Speaker 1] Careful the other one is right there.
- They're gone Dave,
they're gone there.
- Switch your hand in there.
- Nah, I'm pulling this one out.
- Look at it, it goes like shhh.
We got puff that is.
- What are they like.
- Shhh, shh.
I'm working.
- We got one rule here
no climbing, snake hooks.
- Ohh crap.
- You can see the scalations on them.
You can tell he's up from Tanzania
because of the tiger Stripe on the head.
Tanzania, the tanzeum tiger.
Do they pheromone,
do they got those.
- The Musk?
- The Musk.
- All snakes can musk.
Look at this one,
he does not like anybody.
I thought this was a nice one.
- Get a hand on there.
- Dude you elbowed it.
- Ah some muds.
Yeah, I saw it stinks.
- Did you not see it squit out of that vent?
Customers like garlic bro, smells like chicken Parmesan.
- They got a type.
- Oh come on.
- No. (screams)
- Mike, Mike.
- Ohh its pooping all over you.
- It's striking bro.
- It is dripping on you.
- It's dripping.
Mike?
- Wait, wait, relax,
relax, relax. - Mike I need your backup.
- Trying to get the tail off of you.
- Oh God.
Bro it's dripping bro.
- Yeah it's all over you.
All right well I think that was a good working session.
Very strong for their size.
- Dad give Mike some tips.
- Take it out.
- Ohh no its on my head again.
- Remember when you said your dad's a great teacher.
- Not in a great mood.
- You're not making it.
- You always say that but he's in a fine mood,
you just pick him up.
What is going on here?
Mike get out of there.
- I got.
- I'm seeing this mate.
- Very easy.
No hook needed.
Craziness needed, just take it out and handle it.
- Look at it, I'll even poop its nose.
(group laughs)
- Isn't it true, they call these Tanzanian Tigers?
- No, they don't call them Tanzanian tigers,
they're not from Tanzania. (laughs)
- These are bardnet pythons.
- They're bardnet pythons from Indonesia.
- It's not what I heard.
- Fifth largest snake in the world, theoretically?
- Can be.
king Hornet.
- Depending on the species, they can get...
- See this tactic I'm using.
- 15 to 18 feet.
Oh, it actually works, look at that.
You're a genius.
- Lucy's getting her second rabbit for the day,
again, Paul missed out
and he's not the one feeding,
so let's just go ahead and give her this.
Come on, girl.
There she goes.
She's definitely turned down to food now
and you're going to be her off over the winter,
get her nice and big and fat,
that's it's amazing.
And it is such a cool experience to feed a 20 foot snake.
Certainly don't want to be redundant
with content and stuff like that,
but listen, Brillo
is definitely one of the cooler experiences
that we have here at the reptarium.
And there's no doubt that everyone that comes in
just loves this little guy to death.
The thing that's interesting is that Aislin,
our animal educator
actually has now got this guy ball trained.
So he'll actually go and follow a red ball,
which is pretty cool, right?
And it's amazing how smart he is,
but look how cute that little monkey is.
He loves his food for sure.
He eats a lot of food and he's growing like a weed,
so I could just imagine that
it would have been awesome for Paul to feed,
some matter of fact, I don't know,
let me know down in comments,
should I not tell Paul that Brillo,
if you put his hand out he'll hump you,
should I just let Paul get humped by the Brillo?
Yeah, I don't know,
let me know in the comments,
if you think that'd be funny,
I think it'd be pretty funny.
'cause he'd probably be like, "What the heck is going on?"
So Brillo he's definitely all kinds of fun,
there's no doubt about that.
Brillo you're so cute, I love you.
- We're going to do some feeding with Tyson,
the albino box turtle.
We're also going to weigh him again
'cause we're trying to weigh him every week
to see how big he's getting,
or if we got to increase food,
decrease food, stuff like that.
So we're going to start with the weighing part,
obviously 'cause you never weigh yourself after you eat
'cause then you just feel.
All right, so it's zero grams,
so it's all tore out, tear out whatever.
Come here buddy, don't bite my finger,
little tots no ways.
Wow, 10 grams.
He went up behold, two grands in the last week.
So 10 grams,
I'll write that down in my little note book thing,
and now we're going to actually feed him
because he is too cute not to feed.
Greet everybody.
Let go.
Let go, let go, let go, let go.
See you can see Tyson is very,
he always gets very excited about the worms,
but he would literally snap at everything
and anything that moves that he can see.
So we just got to make sure
that the worm is where it's supposed to be
when he goes to grab it.
Here buddy.
He's just too cute.
As you guys could see that Mike and Tyson
are becoming very close
we do stuff together every single day,
I think I might actually try to sneak him out
and go see that new Eternal movies.
I heard it wasn't all that great,
but I guess I'll have to go find out for ourself.
I'm just not giving him any popcorn,
'cause he takes forever to eat it.
He is too cute though.
I love as little guy.
- I actually had a couple other maniacal things
I was going to have Paul do today.
I'm going to keep them a secret
in case he does come next week,
so he doesn't know everything that I had planned for him.
But again, let me know down in the comments,
which ones you like,
what you think we should add to it?
What should I have him do?
I definitely want to know from you guys.
Thank you so much for watching today.
If you enjoyed this video, here is a playlist,
like I said, send positive vibes for me
for the pond over there.
Also what you could do right here is subscribe,
that would mean the world to me.
Have an absolutely wonderful day Reptile Army,
remember be kind to someone
and I promise, I'll see you in the next one.
