- Hey good morning everybody and welcome to the vlog.
I hope the start of your day is amazing.
My start is incredible because I get to walk around and
see such beautiful animals every single morning.
It really is truly a blessing and
I hope that you guys are enjoying this journey.
And speaking of the journey do you guys like unboxing
because I have some pretty cool snakes
that are just arrived that we're
going to get a chance to un-box and see.
I'm going to just give you a little hint
they might be purple or purplish at least.
What do you say we just go ahead and do this unboxing.
(upbeat music)
(knife slicing tape)
I am excited because every year my buddy
sends me these snakes once a year
and I'm pretty happy that this we're going to get them.
So lets go ahead and jump in and show you
I mean these things are absolutely incredible
absolutely incredible and I am excited about it.
Lets see if we jump into the first one right off the bat.
(Brian singing)
And you know I tell you these things are so cool.
I mean they are definitely a wild ball python
now when these guys were first produced
everyone was blown away by them.
And this is basically a mystic ball python
bred to a mohave allelic and they produce
these beautiful monkeys right here.
Woo I tell you what you guys know
I'm a sucker for purple snakes right?
Look at that woo doggy purple ball pythons.
Again there's purple passions and then
there's mystic potions these are mystic potions.
And my friend actually breeds a super mohave
to a super mystic and basically you get all of these.
All purple snakes look at that all mystic potions.
And these are pretty fresh here
it doesn't look like they have even shed yet.
So we'll go ahead and have to set these up
get them to shed out get their first meals in them.
But they are huge babies and this is just one bag
I think that there's going to be another bag
of them too if I'm not mistaken.
I think he ended up sending me
two bags of these guys and then he always sends me
some other cool stuff too, so we'll see that as well.
Lets see if this is another one.
Yep this is the oh wow there's a couple of
really interesting ones in here.
So they're still purple just like the other ones
but there are a couple that are almost
like patternless the just have a stripe down their back.
Which is really interesting usually
they have a little bit more pattern to them.
So that makes it even more interesting.
So again purple snakes guys that's just
one of the things there's just something
about them there's just something
that you never expected to see.
Especially when I started breeding snakes when I was a kid.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think
we were going to see so many of the
mutations that we're now seeing.
But the purple ones to me I guess purple and pink in
particular are the two snakes that are like oh my goodness.
How is this even possible right?
There's two I think there's one more bag here
and I think that that is it so lets see what's in this bag.
And I know this is not the purple ones.
He was only sending me 14 of those and I'm sure there
were seven per bag in that first two bags.
So these are the other snakes so lets see
what else he sent me oh yeah okay this makes sense.
So what we have here is some beautiful pastel pieds
and then some pastels that are het for pied.
So pastel pieds and pastels het for pieds.
And of course these pastel pieds are absolutely amazing.
The difference between the normal pied
and the pastel pied is again more yellow
this kind of blown up or freckly pattern to it.
Really cool so it looks like we have
a relatively good kind of medium white one
a little bit lower and then pretty low white pied here.
So never the less really cool.
And then like I said just a bunch
of pastels that are het for pied.
So once again lovely shipment of snakes
I love getting these things I know those purple snakes
when they get up on the website here in a few
weeks after they've eaten a few times.
They don't last long because those are
absolutely incredible so if you're interested in them
definitely keep your eyes on them
because once they're up they will be gone soon.
So I am excited about these little monkeys right here.
These are of course my little viper boas.
This is a hypo viper boa just really
absolutely beautiful we have a nice group
of viper boas that my buddy Miguel at
Always Evolving Pythons sent us last year.
This one actually was raised up from a baby
that we actually had but never the less
definitely really excited about this group.
Really cool Indonesian boa that's just really unique
live bearing I could not wait til we breed them this fall.
And hopefully we have babies next year.
Hopefully we have a bunch of cool ones.
And as you see these guys can get
pretty big number one and are pretty polymorphic.
Just meaning that there's a lot of variance in the color.
You see that first one was very hypoid.
And this one is almost black looking
absolutely incredible and chunky little dudes too right.
This of course is a female they are sexually
dimorphic meaning that the males
stay much smaller than females.
This a nice big female that hopefully
will have a whole bunch of babies here come March or April.
These guys have been a species of snake
that I have loved forever these are
Candoia aspera so you can see the orange
in this one's underbelly just absolutely insane.
Of course I worked with the Solomon Islands as well.
Which are just a little bit different animal
but from the same genius candoia carinata.
But never the less I cannot wait to
get these guys together here in about
a month and a half or so we'll start breeding
them and them hopefully get some babies.
These things are absolutely wonderful.
Oo doggy I'll tell you what if you like
silver snakes you will love this clutch right here.
This was actually just a spinner that was
bred to a bamboo silver streak.
The silver streak is a black pastel
and it's a super pastel so all pastels in this clutch
and all kinds of combinations.
We just have a black pewter right here
which is really cool this is kind of
least one in here one of the least two gene animals in here.
But still absolutely wonderful and then
this is another two gene animal here.
Then we start getting into all kinds of stuff.
This is a pastel spinner black pastel.
Which is really cool so basically its a black pastel
spinner blast is basically what you would call that.
Then we have a whole bunch of combinations
there are a bunch of things like that unbelievable.
This is the same animal just minus the pinstripe.
So this is a pastel its black pastel and
its spider ball python so really cool.
Got a little bumble bee here I mean what
a bunch of beautiful snakes I mean look at these guys.
Woo doggy I tell you what like I said
I love the silver snakes I think that they're
absolutely amazing and this clutch
was definitely full of a bunch of rippers.
- What's up guys hey how are you I'm doing great
I found some awesome awesome alligator teeth today.
Now these aren't just any normal alligator teeth
as you guys know these are Salt and Pepper teeth.
As you guys see here I have a little
bit of a task I want to try out today.
I've been noticing Salt has been very very very
wanting to be participating in like Pepper's little drills.
Or we do our standup tricks and stuff like that.
I'd like to do more with Salt and so I think actually
that she'd do really really well outside of the cage.
Cause just because of the fact that she is
so so like you have to be close up on her
to get her to work with you, I think it'd be
really really interesting to see how she moves
on the ground here and maybe just maybe
it might end up leading to something
even cooler in the future maybe we can pull her out
and start feeding her out in the open like that who knows.
(peaceful music)
(water running)
(Salt triple snapping)
(alligator popping)
So its safe to say Salt and Pepper definitely just
poo pooed all over that idea this is a big big reason guys
why I always always always say
we never have a large expectation.
We always just try to try stuff
and we don't want to over stress the animals
it was very clear right off the rip
Salt and Pepper were not about this.
So maybe its a timing thing I might have
have thought about them maybe earlier in the week
when they're maybe a little bit more peckish they might be
a little bit more motivated to do it we'll see.
But hey I mean that's how it goes right?
- [Brian] All right we have a whole swatch
of creamsicle corn snakes here.
This was really good odds this was
a het creamsicle bred to a het creamsicle.
And look at it its all creamsicles
and only one little het right there.
On average you should only get about 25 percent
creamsicle out if this and we only got
one normal and the rest were creamsicle.
So we absolutely crushed the odds on this clutch for sure.
And they're really cool big babies and a lot of times
the creamsicles have bigger babies because
of that Emory kind of influence the Emory's
a little bit bigger than a corn snake as far as babies go.
These guys are really nice and look at this
feisty little monkey right here.
Come on little monkey oh my god
these guys are awesome I love baby snake season.
- [Jessica] I'm about to set up the geckos for today.
But I thought maybe we could go back and look at some
of the geckos that are about a month or a
month and a half old just to see how much they've changed.
Because they change a lot from when they hatch.
The first one I'm going to show you guys
Brian actually showed off its just
a mack snow white in yellow this is from one of the lines
that we have been working to reduce
the black banding that usually happens.
I don't know if we've actually ever showed
any of these off and I don't know if
Brian even knows we still have any.
But this is a mack snow rainwater albino.
There's three different types of albino
that we know of so far in leopard geckos and that's
bell albino, tremper albino and rainwater albino.
We have a really small group of rainwater
so we don't produce a ton of them its why I'm pretty sure
Brian doesn't even know we have them.
Here's a nice bold stripe bell albino.
I love the perfect stripes on the leopard geckos.
This last one's actually super cool
its a mack snow raptor which is a
mack snow tremper albino eclipse.
This ones really nice though it has
barley any spotting on it and it has that
really nice white reverse stripe going on it.
Which I don't know if it will keep that
but if it does it will be super cool looking as an adult.
I'm going to get to it I've got a lot of geckos to set up
but I just thought I would show you
some cool stuff that we hatched out this year.
- Some more beautiful baby ball pythons that hatched
this was a really cool clutch because again
it was all kind of variety of things.
This was actually a pinstripe that was bred to a
banana fire spinner blast so we have all kinds of stuff.
Looks like we just have a normal banana here
which is really beautiful some pinstripes over here.
Looks like we have a banana spider and
then a banana fire spider you can see
the difference in kind of the color
between the two making that fire
just a like lighter gene and stuff like that.
Then we have a little banana pinstripe over here
and then just a hodge podge of other stuff.
But never the less more beautiful babies
to set up put on the shelf and get feeding.
And get up on the website here in the next couple of weeks.
Baby baby baby colubrids are hatching for sure.
I'll tell you what I love this time of year.
Its just an abbotts okeetee corn snake clutch.
Again this is just abbotts to abbotts
not scaleless or any of that type of stuff
so just those classic abbotts okeetee corn snakes.
Like I mentioned a million times every time
these guys hatch I mention how amazing they are.
I mean they are just really some of the most
beautiful okeetees you'll ever see.
As a matter of fact I will show you on the adults
just to show you how beautiful it is.
And this is just the example this is actually
the dad to that clutch but again from a corn snake
standpoint its just one of the most classic corn snakes.
Those big black lines around the saddles is what
you really want with the classic corn.
I mean it just doesn't get much
better than an abbotts okeetee.
(knife popping open)
- Back to some
- Oo come on that's going to fly right out
- Back to some unboxing here like
whittling some wood over here.
- Whittling some wood.

- It is a book but I don't know what kind of book.
This book says um I actually believe it or not

The Power of Now so I love this thank you.
It says this is the new earth awakening your life's purpose.
This is great like I said big fan of him

And there's actually a note here
I wonder if this is for a particular thing
so I'm not going to mess that up.
It says I was moved by your open communication
of overwhelmed feelings et cetera the enclosed book
was the big first step in my personal journey.
The first step is being honest about it.
You made it beautiful by opening and being
unafraid and being vulnerable which in tern
is displaying great strength be well.
So I absolutely will read this because
trust me like I said I am reading
another book of his right now amazing so thank you so much.
And you guys each and every one of our support
means the world to me and it really has
helped in this journey I got to be honest with you.

We'll have fun with this for hours.
It's always like Christmas when I'm unboxing snakes
