- Whoa, come on, whoa, whoa whoa, tell you what,
good morning everybody and welcome to the vlog.
Yeah, that's a little bit of high energy morning for sure.
I hope that the start of your day is amazing,
you guessed it we are feeding some animals
and getting to know your animals is very important.
Obviously, Casper is a lot different animal
than let's say Sunrise.
We all know my girl sunrise here is a sweetheart,
when you take her out she's incredible.
The fact that it's interesting about her
is when she smells rabbit, she is actually pretty ferocious.
But she doesn't like to eat pigs and other foods.
So you gotta kind of know your animals,
each animal is different, right?
And even an absolutely amazing animal like Sunrise here
can really be something
that you have to be a little bit careful of
if you have something that she really loves
like this right here.
But again, you can see she's not too ferocious.
She's not like Casper, right?
I can sit this close and I don't have to be like,
whoa, dodging strikes and stuff like that.
And that's kind of the whole thing
is that each animal is an individual, right?
You know, not all albino Burmese are like Sunrise.
Not all black eyed Lucys are like Casper.
It's kind of an individual thing.
We're all individuals, right?
Well so are they.
So when you get a new snake,
that's one of the things that's exciting about it
is getting to learn their personality,
not only through handling, but also feeding.
And of course you guys remember we brought over
this new beautiful albino reticulated Python.
And this is the first time that I'm actually feeding her
in this enclosure.
So I really don't even know
what's gonna happen to be honest.
She seems interested, yeah, she took it.
So that's an interesting thing.
I actually expected this to be a much more
kind of violent type of strike.
Just with the way she's acting and stuff like that.
But it was actually a little bit soft.
And again, that goes back to my point about you know,
this is a reticulated Python,
Casper's a reticulated Python,
Night Fury is a reticulated Python,
Perditor is a reticulated Python,
and all four of those animals are radically different.
Right?
And that's just kind of how it is.
And sometimes you can actually see that there's a little bit
of an attitude that is kind of
to a particular morph that happens from time to time.
Sometimes albinos are tamer
than let's say melanistic animals.
But the truth is it's not always that way, right?
You know you can have individuals
that are completely different.
Take for instance, Night fury,
that one is a handful.
And speaking of Night Fury, here comes Night Fury.
Come on, over here, over here, ball, ball, ball.
Whoa, woo-hoo.
All right, right down here, right down here.
There you go.
Now I'll be honest with you guys you know,
this ball training is working really well you know.
Definitely now when I don't have the ball
and I open the cage, very rarely does it get hyper.
You know, every now and then it does.
But the majority of the time the ball is really good.
Where I'm going with this training,
I'm not 100% sure.
Yo, I know I want to get it to the point
where Night Fury only strikes out at food
when it sees the blue ball, that's already established.
But what can we do next with it?
I'm not sure.
I keep on thinking, what can I use this for?
How can I actually use this
in some sort of display when people are here
at the public or something like that?
Let me know in the comments what you think about it?
Because like I said, I've been racking my brain,
and although it's really cool to see him follow the ball,
and it's certainly protecting us
when we're taking him out for the public,
him not thinking we're food.
I feel like there's something more that I'm missing here.
So I need your suggestion.
Taking a quick break to actually pack a snake
that is gonna hurt to send out.
I'm not going to lie to you.
I have a trio 1.2, so a male and two females
all of the super Lori Leopard ball pythons.
And I tell you what, you know that I have
to be getting something really good
to get rid of this animal.
Not money-wise, we're doing a trade.
And so tomorrow I'm going to be unboxing
what's coming on the other side of this animal here.
I tell you what, I'm gonna shed a little tear
getting rid of this thing
but I'm gonna be so happy to get these animals.
So make sure to tune in tomorrow and you'll find out
why someone could pry a super lorry leopard out of my hands,
which I, trust me, took a lot of convincing to do.
(upbeat music)
Aries is actually deepened shed right now,
as a matter of fact, the other day, you're going to remember
that they were actually almost locked up.
Just before he went into shed
he started developing hails with her.
So I have a feeling when he sheds out,
they're gonna breed this time.
And of course, Ivy is always ready to eat.
And again, she's a pretty aggressive feeder.
You know, it doesn't matter if it's a pig,
a rat or a rabbit, doesn't matter.
So today she's gonna get a little rabbit.
Here you go girl, here you go sweetheart.
Here you go.
Come up baby.
There you go.
There you go sweetheart.
And we'll just go ahead
and let her take it right in the water
cause she's eventually gonna do that anyways.
That's where she likes to eat.
She's got it right on the head,
so hopefully she'll just go ahead and eat it.
This girl is so weird because sometimes
she'll just let go and they'll take her like a half hour
45 minutes before she actually starts to eat again.
But nevertheless, Ivy is amazing.
I mean, just look at that.
Absolutely stunning animal.
And the fact that these guys were locked up
or almost locked up,
I mean literally the whole coil
of tales and stuff like that,
it tells me that there's a good chance
these guys are gonna be breeding here
in the next couple of weeks.
So I couldn't be more excited about that.
Could you imagine baby Ivy and Aries is whoo.
I tell you what, that's gonna be awesome.
(upbeat music)
Now my guy Snaz here certainly knows his feeding time.
And this was another interesting animal
when it came to figuring it out.
When I first got it from my friend Rhonda,
she had had it for years and it was a really
interesting, awesome beautiful habituated socialized animal,
but it didn't eat really well for us.
It like rats, but it would only eat once in a while.
And at one point it went without food for like six months.
And then interestingly enough,
when I started getting frozen thawed pigs,
I found out that Snaz loves frozen thawed pigs.
So again, it's just kind of figuring out
your particular animal.
Hey Snazy, what's up buddy?
Right here, right here.
Oh, well, Oh God.
I got a little close to my hand,
I'm not gonna lie to you.
The problem was is I was on this side,
I couldn't see where his face was,
and when he struck it was about four inches from my fingers.
It was a little bit of a bad thing.
Normally he has a right on the face,
which means I have lots of room.
But in this particular case it was a little closer
than I'd like it to get to be honest with you.
But again, learning this animal was really important to me.
Right now he's every single week,
as long as I give him a frozen thawed pig.
If I try a rabbit, doesn't want it.
If I try a rat, once in a blue moon he eats it.
But he crushes food now.
So that's pretty awesome.
Again, it's what makes it exciting, right?
Is getting to know each individual animal,
figuring out what it is that makes them tick
and keeps them happy.
Let's go ahead and walk right in this cage to Sunfire.
Hey Sunfire, you want some food?
Come on.
Just starting to go a peak a little bit,
but it looks like she still might eat one last meal
before she sheds.
You wanna eat girl.
Come on.
There you go girl.
Again, amazing and it's cool.
I love the fact that we have enclosures like this
where I can literally walk inside
and get this close to the animals.
It's a different feel, right?
You know what I mean,
through most of my career I had to, you know,
they were in cages where you just opened the door
and you feed them and stuff like that.
Now I can literally, I mean look at this.
I'm just inside her enclosure, love it.
It's got the little fall, waterfalls coming down the rocks.
I mean, it's just...
I tell you guys,
I love this place so much.
And any animal like Sunfire here
in this enclosure where she hangs up here all the time,
crawls around, just makes me happy.
- This is Australian YouTube. - [Narrator] Okay.
- And he doesn't wear a shirt, and he has a mullet,
and he catches huge wild monitor lizards and stuff.
- [Narrator] Goannas.
- Goannas.
- [Narrator] That's what they call them, Goannas.
- All right.
I mean they're huge.
- [Narrator] Yeah. - All right.
And he's catching them and baby juices,
except he's baby juice.
Like he's not even baby juice.
And that's what I mean,
he's little guy, it's nothing much.
- [Narrator] Well, if you wanna go and just see how close
just don't get bit.
- I'm not gonna get bit.
- [Man] What's the worst that happen?
Oh, what's the matter?
- [Man] Noah what's going on?
What are you thinking?
- [Narrator] He's coming.
He's coming.
He's coming for you.
- So can I ask an expert?
- [Narrator] Yes.
- In my opinion, it didn't look like he was gonna bite me.
He just wants to explore.
- [Narrator] He wants food.
He wants food.
He smells food in there, we're feeding today.
- So really bad idea.
- [Man] So grab a tongue real quick.
- Bad idea, bad idea.
- [Man] I agree.
- Where's the mouse.
See, I touched him.
Did you see that?
- [Narrator] It's a very athletic lizard.
Isn't it? - [Man] I know, I know.
- [Narrator] That's not no Agamas prime.
- I'll get you a RPM up there.
Oh he wants more too.
- [Narrator] I know he wants more
but that's all he get right now.
- Swirl the tail down boy.
- [Man] I know right?
Good job.
Look he still took out the tail
and there's nothing he can swallow.
He's looking for more.
- I just wanna hold him one day.
We're gonna get it there.
- [Man] We'll get him there.
We'll get him. Trust me we will.
- I saw a baby tame one,
they were patented chin and its lips.
That's what I want.
- Moomoo is gonna get a rabbit,
really I typically feed her frozen pigs.
I don't know that ever actually been fed her a rabbit
to be totally honest with you.
So I'm not sure what's gonna happen here.
And of course she's got that weird overbite,
ever since she was a baby.
But I don't know if she likes this rabbit.
She's like, I've never smelled this before dad.
And again, this is just little things
that we have to learn to see if she wants it.
She may very well not take it.
Doesn't look like she's interested again.
Interesting, right?
How pretty to loves rabbits,
and Moomoo has no interest in it whatsoever.
So we'll have to thaw out a frozen pig.
You know, again.
Each animal's individual.
You just saw it happen right here
for the first time.
First time I offered her a rabbit,
no interest in it whatsoever.
Kalmachino's another one that we have to kind of figure out,
you know, he was a good feeder,
but he didn't like rabbits at all,
but he is totally into frozen pigs.
I mean, he'll eat as many of these as I give it to him.
I'm gonna give him a couple today
to be totally honest with you,
just to bulk them up pretty good.
Because you know some animals just have a higher metabolism.
That's the other thing
that you have to keep in mind.
Some animals that we have fed a four pound meal
to once a week would start to get kind of overweight
to be honest with you.
And other animals need more like six or eight pounds.
So, you know it's not a blank slate.
And that's what I keep on trying to preach,
everybody is like, you know, reach your animals.
You know, if it's looking like it's a little fat,
then back off a little bit.
Looking a little thin, up the food a little bit.
Eventually you'll find that level
where your animal has the perfect body weight.
And Holy cow does Perditor look amazing
in this enclosure for sure.
And she actually, she'll eat anything.
She'll eat rabbit, she'll rat, she'll eat pigs.
You can see she took that, no problem at all.
And she's such a sweetheart.
You know, she doesn't have that aggressive strike
like Casper and some of the other animals.
I mean just a gentle take.
Sometimes she just opens her mouth and takes it.
So she's incredible.
And again, I love this enclosure,
and I love the opportunity for her to climb even more
than she did in her other enclosure.
We see her up here on the branches all the time,
all over the place.
So I know she's absolutely loving this enclosure
and I love seeing her here.
- Back at it again.
Feeding the Culloo birds.
It is the season to where literally,
I feel like I do it every day,
but with twice a week, it feels like every day
cause it's almost every other day.
But that being said,
things are going pretty good in here.
This year we moved into a new room.
So that has been challenging and interesting
cause it's the firs time,
so we're figuring out temperatures,
playing these funny games
with these little oil heaters that are moving around
trying to make sure everything's warm enough.
Anybody in Michigan knows and understands
that this time of year it's hot, it's cold.
It doesn't know what it is.
So we're still playing that game
trying to get everything good.
But I think it's dialing in pretty good.
Gonna go ahead, give this week's first feeding,
and then hopefully today
I can get my breeding list together.
So I got to inventory everything I have
and then figure out a breeding scheme
and rearranged to do that.
So this should be a pretty busy,
exciting and hopefully a fruitful.
(upbeat music)
- We have never really tried
to get Ivy to come over for food before.
So I'm gonna see if I can do it.
Come on girl.
I would love to train her like this
where I could get her to come over.
I have no idea if I'm gonna be able to do it or not.
So I, let me see what I can do here.
Come on girl.
Here you go, come on girl.
Come on girl.
Here she comes.
She's coming up.
She's coming up, she's coming up.
There she is.
Yes.
How awesome was that?
I didn't know if that could actually work,
but that worked out absolutely amazing.
All right, Snap and Pop time. Come on.
These are actually pretty big meals for these guys.
I usually feed them a little bit smaller meal
but they're starting to get pretty big now.
So kind of up in the meal size just a little bit.
And of course Pop is over here.
Come on bud, come on.
There you go bud.
And one of the things that's interesting
is both of these animals look like
they are actually starting to just start going to shed too.
So you know, it's a cycle, right?
We see probably because we feed the same every week,
all the animals seem to be in similar cycles with shed.
So these guys will probably be opaque
in the next couple of days.
Tons of the other animals are going opaque.
Some stuff just came out to shed,
and that's something that we see.
You know, it just seems like the cycle happens
where the whole place is shedding almost at the same time.
And the last animal that needs to eat is Geofrey,
and he is certainly not a super calm striker.
Although he was really good that time.
Usually when he comes out, he's like, woohoo.
So he was coming out to my leg
I'm thinking I'm not being the best spot right here.
But it's always awesome feeding the Reptar.
I mean, I do it every single week, but it never gets old.
Seeing these animals thrive like this is what I live for.
And I'm so excited about it.
And that's the whole reason why we're only open
three days a week, right?
So at the animals got four days off,
where they can chill out,
we can do some training with them,
we can also feed them, let them digest their food and chill.
So it's always amazing here.
And it's one of my favorite days of the week.
(upbeat music)
Anyone that has a bunch of animals
knows that every now and then
you got an extra rodent that you thought out.
That's just cause a couple of things were in shed.
So I'm gonna go ahead and try to get Bowser
a really nice rat meal.
Normally I give them maybe a medium rat,
but every now and then a good meal like this
might be really good for him.
So we'll just see if we can lower him out a little bit.
Come on buddy.
Come on bud.
Here he comes.
Oh yeah, he's ready.
Oh, yeah.
Woo hoo dog it.
How awesome is that?
Bowser was on fire today.
And that's it guys, that wraps up this video.
I hope that you enjoyed.
