- Today, I am excited 'cause the mama
for the Super Lori Leopard Ball Python
just laid some eggs, and she was actually bred.
To this Super Lori Leopard,
this is the first time I've ever had
a Super Lori Leopard breed,
and he's breeding back to the Lori Leopard.
I tell you what, it's gonna be amazing.
And she has a few eggs out of her clutch here,
but the rest look absolutely wonderful.
Again, this is an absolutely beautiful clutch right here.
Let's get these eggs right over here.
There's gonna be three,
they got a little bit crinkled up here.
So, we'll put a little bit of moisture to them,
and candle them up.
Two, four, six, eight, 10 eggs.
Super Lori Leopard to a Lori Leopard,
oh my God, let's get these over to the incubator.
Up to 55 clutches now, the Lori Leopard
bred to the Super Lori Leopard.
It goes into the incubator.
Super excited about this.
Just basically set these eggs off.
I usually check them about halfway through, to be honest.
You really don't wanna mess with eggs too much.
The more you mess with them,
more chance things can go wrong.
I'm gonna give these 30 days to kind of relax a little bit,
and then later on the block, we'll cut them.
So, clutch 55 in the incubator.
- We gotta clean Gemma.
- Mm-mm.
- And I don't wanna.
- I got a bad neck today, boy.
- My abs hurt.
- Your abs?
Damn, defined.
(employees gasping)
- We have Peter. - Peter!
- Yes, y'all, what's up?
- We gotta take Gemma out.
- Yeah. - And I know
you got some big snake experience.
- Yeah, we got big snakes, man,
we got olive pythons and scrub pythons.
- Scrub a dub dub.
- I think our snakes are just a little bit bigger than that.
You get the general idea.
- You guys always brag about size.
- Size matters- - Yeah, it does.
- It's like a whole, you know.
Take her out, just handle her a little bit,
and we're gonna clean the cage.
- And I'm just gonna supervise,
I'm just gonna make sure you're doing your job,
he's doing his job.
- Roger.
- Good form there, Peter, good form.
- Nice start, nice start. - Yeah.
Lift with your back.
- You're gonna get cleaning, Mike, or?
- [Peter] Yeah, yeah, I'm going.
- All right. - All right,
I got the trash can.
- Okay.
- Much bigger than your little olives, huh?
- Oh yeah, just a little.
Clean faster!
- He's always so freaking slow.
- You're just standing there drinking a Canada Dry.
- Refueling.
So, are you allowed to like handle any big snakes
like this for your problem?
- No, we're not allowed to have any big snakes
like this in our country.
'Cause we're only allowed to keep our indigenous species
- Indigenous?
(didgeridoo folk music)
- Local to the country, indigenous.
- This guy makes up so many words.
- (sighs) You guys just don't understand.
- [Mike] Done!
- [Noah] You're done?
- I'm done.
(hands clapping)
- Then just put it back in?
- Yeah, just go ahead and slide her right back in.
- You get your massage now.
Doesn't that feel good?
- It feels great.
- Best part about putting the snake back.
She's peeing on you.
- I'm used to the smell of urine.
- That sounds different.
- This is the clutch that I was probably
most anticipating this year.
Well, I always say that, but this one is really good.
Of course, it's the Lori Leopard
bred to the Super Lori Leopard,
and we still have two, four, six, eight, nine eggs.
Nine eggs laid, and nine eggs made it through incubation.
Tomorrow, I get to wake up, and take it in the shop,
we're gonna find out what's inside these.
Should be some Super Lori stuff, Super Lori Leopard stuff,
I don't know, it's gonna be amazing.
So, one more sleep, and we're gonna cut these eggs.
- Peter did pretty good there, huh?
- Yeah, I think we can kinda trick him,
and rope him into helping us the rest of the day.
- Yeah, I agree.
We need to clean Ivy, right?
- Yeah, there's some poop right
on the front of the filter there.
- All right, perfect, well, then-
- And then maybe have him take it out.
You wanna help us pull Ivy out?
I'm gonna clean some stuff in here too.
- [Noah] Ivy's the one in the water.
- Sure, let's get wet.
Move to Hoover.
- I know what that means now.
- In the trolley.
Guys,
don't make sense.
- I got the hard one.
Now you gotta get the easy one.
- You did awesome, man.
- Been practicing.
- You wanna get in there and pull her out?
- [Peter] All the way out?
- [Mike] All the way out.
- You gotta get in the water.
- [Peter] Can't help to feel that
maybe you guys have stitched me up.
- Uncle Peter, what are you doing?
- Oh my! - What are you doing though?
- Bloody hell, mate!
- Right, right there.
- Uncle Peter, what are you doing?
- [Mike] You supposed to bring her this way!
- [Dreads Person] Peter, do you need some help?
- He's supposed to be doing it.
- Peter, he asked for some assistance.
- [Mike] He's up for doing that kinda work.
- Peter. - It's all right.
- How did I get here in this? (spits)
- You're doing well. - Predicament.
- You're doing well, nephew, you're all right.
- Well, I'm gonna go clean it.
- Crikey, this one's a big of a hairball, eh?
- Yeah, she's so wet.
- I have to say goodbye to you.
- You're just leaving me here to die?
(somber piano music)
- No!
I won't leave you.
- [Dreads Person] Peter!
- Getting close to my crotch there, nephew.
It's an impressive green anaconda,
or the heaviest body python,
well, it's not even a python, is it?
It's a weirdo.
Not a Python or a boa. (groans)
- It's an anaconda.
- It's an Anaconda, that's right,
it's a very special creature.
It's semi-aquatic or mostly aquatic.
I mean, you can understand why,
look at the size of this thing!
- [Noah] Yeah, look at the neck on that girl.
- It's a powerhouse machine for sure.
- Oh man, I'm getting tired, Mike, you done?
- I'm done!
- Getting tired there, man?
- This thing's big, bro.
- Look, the gang's all back together.
- Hold the flipping knees, Uncle Pete!
Um, oh.
He's not very good, is he?
- Bit of a handful!
Come on, sweetheart, come to papa.
(employees laughing)
Be free, my little sweetie.
I survived!
- Got a decent night's sleep last night,
even though I was dreaming about these eggs here.
I hope there's some Super Lori Leopards in there.
It's gonna be amazing.
I mean, theoretically, we should.
So ,what do you say we head over the shop?
And like I had mentioned, guys,
this is one of my most anticipated clutches,
'cause we've never had a Super Lori male
breed to anything before.
So, it's the first time we've ever had a Super Lori male,
and of course, a Super Lori Leopard bred to a Leopard Lori.
Theoretically, you can get Super Leopards too.
They don't look any different,
but there could be some amazing stuff.
I am super excited, and again, we have 10 eggs to cut.
So, let's jump into egg, number one.
Come on, Super Lori stuff, Super Lori Leopard stuff.
Oh, it's gonna be so exciting.
What do we got right off the rip?
It looks like.
Okay, this looks like a Lori Leopard,
so, no Super in that one.
We do have a Lori Leopard, which is cool.
Again, the Lori Leopard stuff is gonna be really amazing.
And I will have one little caveat here.
Early on in the year, we actually threw a Lori male in,
and he bred one time.
But then the Super Lori Leopard bred multiple,
multiple times over the next four or five months.
So, I'm hoping that the Lori isn't the father in this.
If we don't produce a bunch of Super Lori stuff,
we're gonna know that he could potentially be the culprit.
Come on, be a Super Lori,
at least maybe a Super Lori Leopard,
who knows, a Super Lori Super Leopard.
(tense suspenseful music)
Uh-oh, it's another Lori Leopard.
That starts to give me a little worried, guys.
Again, we could have, you know,
we still have two, four, six, actually seven,
so there's only nine eggs, one egg went bad,
so we could have all Super Loris from here on out.
Or the Lori male could have actually fathered this clutch,
which would absolutely be crazy.
Now, we could still get Super Lori Leopards,
don't get me wrong.
Let's see what happens, egg number three.
I'm starting to get nervous, guys.
So, let's go, come on, come on, a Super Lori, Super Lori.
Uh-oh, no!
This just a normal Lori Ball Python.
So, the first three eggs have been Loris
without being Super, which makes me start to really
wonder if that Super Lori Leopard was the father,
because by now we should have gotten at least
a couple Super Loris.
- Peter, so we have some cleaning to do,
and by we, Mike has some cleaning to do on Elvis.
So, can you grab him out for us?
- Sure, what is Elvis?
- He's a Goanna, Asian Water Goanna.
- A Guana?
- A Goanna.
- A Goanna. - Goanna.
- Goanna.
- Dude. - Iguana.
- It would be really weird.
- We know you got Goannas at home.
The Asian's just a little bit bigger.
- Struth, he's a big one, eh?
Come on, fella.
- No, no, no, his name's Elvis.
- He's a fella.
- Well, he is a fella, but like, Elvis.
- Come on, fella.
- Wouldn't he be a bloke?
- You're a bloke.
That's a fella.
- Oh, that's a fella. - He called you bloke.
- Keep an eye on him, babysit a little bit, okay? (laughs)
- He poops or pees on the floor, just grab the mop. (clicks)
- Clean it up. - I've gotta babysit
and clean up?
- Well,, it's kinda the whole point of babysitting, right?
- This is a great experience
for this beautiful monitor right here, I guess.
We call them goannas, of course,
but I tell you what, in Australia,
the goannas can be a little bit of a pesky species.
They come into your yard,
they'll steal your chickens, eat your eggs,
and if you're really lucky, they'll chase your cats too.
- Basically, three out of four animals
should be Super Loris, so this might be
a little bit of a disappointment.
But we still could get Super Lori stuff,
so hey, even if the Lori is the dad,
we still could get Super,
so, let's see what we have here.
Another Lori Ball Python.
Not even a Super, just a Lori Ball Python.
Guys, we have two, four, five eggs left.
We haven't even had a Super yet,
let alone a Super Lori Leopard.
Oh my gosh, I have a feeling the Super Lori Leopard dad
did not father this clutch.
And that happens sometimes.
And it's a heartbreaker 'cause I was so excited
about this clutch.
I still am because, hey, with five eggs left,
we could still hit some really big banging animals.
So, let's see what we have.
Oh my gosh. (buzzer buzzes)
Another normal Lori Ball Python.
So, we have a couple Lori Leopards,
and three Lori Ball Pythons with only four eggs to go.
Oh my gosh, guys, this has turned out to be a nightmare.
We could hit four beautiful animals here,
and turn this clutch around.
- Look at this guy!
Very amendable to handling.
Oh, powerful claws.
Those things there will give you a nice
big scars on your arms.
Anyone in Australia that works with monitors
always have scars on their arms,
unless you get to hide them like me.
Heightened sensory organ,
rubbing against the Jacobson organ,
feeding back sensory overload, look at that.
The way this animal's thinking right now,
they have the largest brains of all the lizards.
Absolute great species to admire,
I'm deeply in love with this guy right here.
Third largest species of monitor in the world.
He's smelling, he's tasting,
feeding all that information back to his brain,
he's processing.
(bucket clicking)
You guys wanna hurry up over there?
- Come on, nobody's helping me, as always.
That looks so much better.
- It should, it's taken you all bloody day!
- It's pretty good to-
- It's time to go to your beautiful new home.
- How'd the babysitting go?
- Hey, I'll tell you what,
you guys drag your tail around around here, don'tcha?
- Definitely not what I was envisioning.
When I was thinking this morning, I took this clutch out,
I was thinking we were gonna get eight
or nine actual Super Loris,
with Super Lori Leopards all across the board,
and we have completely whiffed.
Oh my goodness gracious.
Oh my gosh, you gotta be kidding me.
Another Lori Leopard.
Not a super Lori, just a Lori Leopard.
Hey, look, Lori Leopard stuff is beautiful,
and I'm not disappointed about that,
but boy, we needed some Super Lori stuff, guys.
This has been wild. - It's wild!
- Not even in a million years
would I have expected this one.
So, let's go, we got three eggs to go.
Come on, at least give me a Super Lori.
A Super Lori Leopard something.
Oh my gosh, another Lori Ball Python.
Guys, this is crazy.
We have cut seven eggs and not hit one Super.
So, even if the Lori was the dad, on average,
one in four would be a Super.
So, we're literally twice the odds against us right now.
But we have two eggs left, come on,
let these two eggs do something amazing.
Come on, come on.
This is the ups and downs of breeding snakes,
and I tell you what, it just is harsh.
Another Lori Ball Python, guys, another Lori Ball Python.
Unbelievable.
We are down to the last chance for a Super Lori
or a Super Lori Leopard.
Oh my goodness, let's see what happens.
Un-fricking-believable.
And a Lori Ball Python.
We had nine eggs, Lori to Lori Leopard,
and we legitimately whiffed on the Super Loris.
With that being said, we're gonna go ahead, set these up,
we'll let them hatch out,
we'll show you guys when they hatch out.
You'll see at least the Lori Leopards,
which are really cool.
But I tell you what, definitely gotta say it,
one of the most disappointing clutches
I've ever cut in my entire career.
- Noah obviously left us, so, left me by myself.
- You're telling me he piked, he piked on us?
- Yeah, again, like usual. - What a little bugger.
- So, I'm just gonna need your help with some sunrises.
So, if you just want to go ahead and-
- [Peter] Ooh, hello.
- Do some quick, just little spot cleans.
It's about 65 pounds.
- That's kinda cheap, isn't it?
- What do you mean?
- What do you mean by pounds?
Are you talking like-
- Wait, like, how heavy it is.
- Kilograms. - Oh.
What's 65 pounds in kilograms?
- Like the rest of the world.
- 65 L-B-S.
Kil have two Ls?
- No.
K-I-L-O.
- Oh, this went backwards,
it went from 65 kilograms to pounds, it's 143 pounds.
I don't know, I'm bad at math.
- I'll take your word, man, 30-something kilos?
- 29.545454.
- 30 kegs.
- What he said.
- Man, this is so easy, I could do this all day.
Crikey, I got a skirt on now!
- What is wrong with that guy?
- He's a beauty!
- That was not all right.
- You just get back to cleaning, hurry up!
- I think that's it, no more U8, no more poopoo.
- Great looking albino you got there.
- Bino?
- Albino.
- The great Bambino, that's baseball.
I know that one.
- The color, albino.
- Oh, albino.
- Albino.
- We speak American.
- That's the problem.
- Taking these little assault today,
and he doesn't seem like he's in a very good mood either.
That's all right, let's go this way.
Come on, buddy, all right, here we go.
Here's the battle, come on, come on, come on, baby.
Whoo!
Okay, buddy, in the water in the water, there we go, bud.
Whew!
Get some that shed off, give him a little soap.
All right, I won it this time.
I don't win every time, you know that?
- Can you grab Badger out?
I gotta clean the glass real quick.
- A friendly fellow, right?
- Yeah, he's good.
- Okay.
Aw!
He's got a bit of weight behind him, hasn't he?
Hurry up and clean the glass, man.
This thing's absolutely insane,
we have nothing like this in Australia.
All our turtles are small, easy to work with.
We do have snappers, and not like this thing,
this thing will take your fingers clean off.
What a beauty!
Looks like you could chew for a boomerang like that, look!
Could probably snap a didgeridoo!
(Mike mimicking didgeridoo)
Aw, man, check that out.
So prehistoric, look at those scoots!
Bulletproof!
Absolute gorgeous creature.
Hurry up, Mike!
- I'm doing my best, man.
- Hurry up!
- Okay, I'm done.
- Whew.
Put him back in now?
- Yeah, yeah, nice and gentle.
- How about this?
Easy does it.
Be free, little fella.
- It's a great back workout, ain't it?
- Yeah.
- You really feel your spine just breaking.
- You feel it!
No worries, man.
So, when do I get me cash, mate?
Mike, where's my cash?
- So like I had mentioned,
after these guys actually hatched out and shed,
they're looking beautiful.
Lori Ball Pythons are absolutely amazing,
but again, definitely a pretty disappointing clutch
that we didn't get any Supers.
This is just a normal Lori Ball Python here.
And then you start getting into some of the Leopard stuff.
This is actually Leopard Lori here.
We've got a few Leopards in here, which are really nice.
And you could just really see the difference
once they shed out.
This is another Lori Leopard,
so these are great kinda building blocks for the future,
there's no doubt about that.
Look at how beautiful of a Lori Leopard that one is there.
So again, building blocks.
Am I excited about those odds?
No, was it probably one of my worst odd clutches
I've ever hatched, yes.
Definitely a huge disappointment, but hey,
we still got a bunch of really cool babies,
and I'm always gonna be happy with that.
By the way, this video's over.

- [Noah] Are you smiling?
- Peter is. - Trying.
