- Guess what guys?
We have a box.
That's right.
Of cool reptiles.
You know, I love unboxing new things.
So, Milton is actually a Moroccan Uromastyx and
the truth is, that they're really cool.
I love all the different types of Uromastyx.
But, these guys basically stay about this size.
He's not going to get much bigger.
So some Uromastyx stay pretty small.
But, the ones we've got now in that box, well
that's a different story.
(box slicing)
Because these guys are going to get a lot bigger.
The fact is, Uromastyx are absolutely incredible animals
and there's a whole bunch of different ones.
Just because we have the one species, doesn't mean we
want different localities in different species.
And this particular species is the one
I've really wanted to put in the Reptarium.
Not because they're the most beautiful,
because I wouldn't be totally honest with you.
They really aren't the most beautiful,
but they are certainly the largest species.
These guys can get literally up
to three feet long and I cannot wait to see them.
They're just little tiny babies right now.
They're are going to be absolutely incredible.
Let's take a look and see what they look like.
Aw they are so cute, unbelievable.
Oh my God.
Take a look at that cute face right there.
And that chubby body, like I said
some of the ornate Uromastyx are unbelievably
colorful and beautiful,
but they all stay relatively small right?
Well, the Egyptians are the giant.
These guys get absolutely huge.
Like I said, up to 3 feet in length
They're kind of a more bland animal.
Yes, they do look a little bit like that Chuckwalla,
and I kind of love that chubby body thing.
But, in this case it's a chubby body
that gets like that big, even bigger than Chuckwallas.
Absolutely incredible.
Again, because I knew there was some babies that had came
into the country, I was like, I have to get these.
It's going to probably take 3 or 4 years to get giant.
But Hey, right now we actually have a little pair.
This is one of them.
Let's go ahead and see the other one.
And here's the other little monkey right here.
Look at how absolutely adorable they are right now though.
Those are the cutest little things.
Oh my God.
That is absolutely incredible.
And again, the other thing that's nice
about the Egyptian Uromastyx is, typically
they're pretty mellow, more mellow.
They like to just sit on your arms and stuff like that.
Whereas, the other ones can be a little bit crazy.
I mean, they're not mean or anything like that,
but they sometimes can run away.
These guys are known for being really chill.
Course, this looks like the boy here.
This looks like the girl right here, unbelievable.
I am so excited to get these.
Again, might be a year or so
before they really get super impressive.
But, they're so cute right now.
I can not wait to set these guys up and start raising them
up and I'll keep you guys updated.
By the way, what are the names of these guys?
Again, Egyptian Uromastyx.
What can we name these guys?
Comment down below, and by the way
welcome to the blog, Reptile Army,
I hope the start of your day is absolutely incredible.
So as far as set up with these guys, what we're going to end
up doing is actually,
Luna is an albino California Kingsnake.
And it'd be totally honest with you,
we've moved her over here probably a couple of months ago
and she's still not very good about handling.
When you take her out, she often likes to pee on people.
So, we were hoping she was going to calm down.
But, for now I think we're going to move her back over
to BHB and just work with her a little bit more.
And so what we'll do, is we'll actually
take the Western Hognose Snake, Peppa off of here,
and put it down here because it doesn't need a lot of heat.
And the Uromastyx need a lot of heat.
I mean, you want 110 or 115 degree hotspot.
So up here we can put a dome light,
we can do some terracing in this cage.
Of course, redo this entire cage and these Uromastyx
can go in here to be absolutely perfect.
So, I'm going to go ahead and enlist Jessica to
get this cage all set because she's so good about it.
Oh, and by the way, speaking of enlisting
what about Reptile Army?
Have you heard about the movement?
That's right.

(upbeat music)
As always, Jessica did an amazing job with the enclosure.
I think these guys are gonna love it.
They've got a nice hot spot in there that they can get up on
and they should be absolutely incredible.
So what do you say, we just go ahead and
release these little monkeys.
There you guys go.
There you go.
Enjoy yourself.
They can climb up to the upper level, get close to the light
if they want.
They got areas down here.
So all in all, I think this is going to
be absolutely incredible for them.
So we'll keep you guys updated.
again, names in the description,
gotta name these guys something cool.
I'm suspecting some Egyptian names maybe?
But I don't know.
Absolutely excited and ecstatic to have these guys.
One day, they're going to be huge and
they're going to be awesome.
- Chicken strip, my boy over here.
He needs a, he really needs a bath.
And when I say bath, obviously
I don't mean he needs to be clean,
he's got some stuck sheds on his tail
and stuff like that.
So, what we do to try and mitigate that and
make it actually really nice,
is we get them out, we'll actually put them
inside these soap tubs.
Now Chicken Strip is super agile like you guys know.
Come on, big guy.
Come on.
Good boy.
(hissing)
There you go, you're alright
Hey, you're okay.
I'm here.
Easy now.
Okay.
(reptile flails)
It's alright, you're alright.
As you can see here's the
stuck shed that I was talking about.
You can see it's already starting to flake
off a little bit, 'cause I did soak him earlier this week.
So, it's definitely starting to show some progress and
with a beautiful animal like this, it's really
important to try and keep up with this type of thing.
Just because Phillip's albinism just
shows so much, like in an uglier way when they're,
when there's like got stuck sheds on them.
So I think it's really important to really
try and hit that on as best we can.
- Did you guys hear that?
(singing)
I hear a sound, beautiful sound.
Yes, it's an egg sound.
Let's go ahead and collect an egg.
This happens to be a Pastel that
is actually also hat for Lavender and it's actually bred
to a Vanilla Red Stripe that's hat for Lavender as well.
So, we could produce some pretty cool Red Stripe stuff.
And the Pastel and Red Stripe just go together really well.
But, look at how beautiful.
Mom, you did so good.
This is a great clutch of eggs.
She's not a really big girl,
but she's got a beautiful clutch of eggs here.
Look at that.
Hoo- dog, I'll tell you what.
That is something that I love to see for sure.
And there's nothing like
all the hard work that started way back in October,
when I started to do the schemes
and then I rearranged everything,
and then you start the actual breeding.
And then ultimately, here we are all this time later
and we get these beautiful clutch of eggs.
I tell you ,there's nothing better than that.
I mean, that is truly the fruits of our labor for sure.
So there's 2, 4, 6, 8 beautiful eggs
in here going to be some banging babies.
Egg cutting coming down the pike
is going to be absolutely incredible.
This next Ball Python clutch is actually just
a really, pretty nice, decent size, normal Ball Python
that was bred to this Banana Fire Spinner Blast.
So, it's got a lot of genes in it.
It's got Banana, it's got Pastel,
it's got Pinstripe and it's got Spiders.
So, it should be some pretty cool combos coming
on that cluster.
Sorry, let's see how many eggs mama has.
(drawer sliding)
And it looks like a pretty decent clutch for sure.
Let's go ahead and unwrap mama here.
Oh, come on girl.
You could see how they concave their belly to
wrap those eggs.
Wow.
Look at that clutch right there.
That is a beauty.
I tell you what, that is a nice clutch
laid just beautifully.
I love, this is the perfect size egg, right?
They're not too big,
so there's plenty of them and they're not too small,
that the babies are can hatch out small.
So you've got 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, beautiful eggs.
There's one little slugger in there, but that's okay.
9 good eggs.
That's going to be some cool combos in there.
These are perfect.
Entry-level Ball Pythons.
They're going to be from Bananas to Pastels,
to all kinds of combinations.
This is a beautiful clutch
and I'm sure they're going to hatch out and be wonderful.
Is it absolutely crazy how big Jeffery has gotten?
I mean, holy cow, remember when we got Jeffrey?
It was literally a baby, he would eat mice.
That's all it would eat.
Now look at how big it's getting.
Of course, it's nowhere
near the size of Sunrise or stuff like that.
Eventually it's going to get probably 15 to 18 foot.
So it's got a long way to go.
But, I just cannot believe how big it's starting to get.
And wow, what an absolute beautiful animal.
You know, every person that comes here for
a tour, always says the same thing that they
can't really see that pink and peach color in its head.
So I don't know if you guys can see it, but trust me
this thing is an absolute banger.
And speaking of Burmese Pythons
of course we have the Hypo, that is actually
named Penelope over here, just growing up.
And this is how big Jeffrey was when we got him.
That's a pretty massive, that he grew from
this size to that size.
And Penelope, when she gets that size,
is going to be absolutely stunning too.
Again, this is definitely going to be a great
educational animal in the future,
just like Jeffrey and Sunrise.
And of course, Marshmallow our other Burmese
Pythons.
Burms are just such gentle giants.
They're so amazing.
Can't wait till Penelope gets bigger.
Cause she's gonna be a ripper.
Let's roll some of that beautiful music,
Jay, go ahead and roll it.
♪ Snake time ♪
So, this clutch is actually a Coral Snow Corn Snake.
It's that really polygenically pink Corn Snakes,
that are bred together.
Let's go ahead and see what she has going on.
It looks like they're underneath here.
She's a really pretty snake though, too.
And the eggs are kind of all over the place.
So, ooh, I'm going to have to candle all these eggs,
because she's definitely rolling them around.
You could just see rolling even as we speak right now.
So, I'm going to go ahead and get her in here.
We'll get her all cleaned up water, all that stuff,
you know the routine.
Again, we always talk about that
we take the water out, cause they can lay their eggs
in the water and then the eggs go bad.
And then we'll just kind of put these in here.
But like I said, we're going to have to candle these
all because they are all over the place,
rolled around and stuff like that.
But, we'll just get them in an egg box
before we candle them.
Pretty easy to candle Colubrid eggs,
especially like this one.
'Cause they're almost translucent to begin with.
Python eggs have much thicker skin,
so it's a little bit more difficult.
But you just want that embryo up on the top side, right?
So we have 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, beautiful eggs.
Next up, more eggs.
This one actually comes from a head Creamsicle Scalis bred
to a Cream Scalis, so should be some pretty cool eggs.
Let's see.
Oh yeah, nice
Ooh there's 'lotta eggs, big female.
There are a couple of slugs in here, to be honest with you
but the majority of the clutch is absolutely gorgeous.
We'll get mom in there.
Good job, mom.
You did so good.
Get her all cleaned up, stuff like that.
Again, we'll just kind of get all these little sluggers
out of here first.
Just get these away.
No big deal.
They come off really easy with stuff like this.
Looks like we've got a couple back here, so.
Weird that it'd be such a beautiful clutch, but then
have a few slugs.
But, that just kind of happens.
Nevertheless, look at pearly white clutch right there.
That's how it, that's what I live for guys.
There is 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 beautiful eggs in.
Big eggs for a Corn Snake too, so these babies are going to
be bangers for sure.
So my guy Speedy has been here at BHB obviously
all winter long and he actually spends the summers with us
at home.
So, we have to just finish his pen a little bit
and hopefully, maybe next week we can actually
take Speedy back home.
Which will be really cool,
because not only is it going to be awesome
that he can have the whole backyard to run around.
And cause you know that he loves to run around,
but also the crew gets a break of him getting
in the way of everything and making a mess here at BHB.
So Speedy,
you're going to be excited to get some sun and be able
to eat all the grass you want,
Right buddy?
It's going to be awesome.
I think there might be some Speedy cams coming
in the future.
Hope you enjoyed today's video.
