- Today we're at Extreme Exotics,
one of the craziest reptile pet shops I've ever seen.
And we're going on a cage by cage tour.
Gonna be absolutely epic.
And of course, I'm here with my buddy, Steve, the owner.
He's got a beautiful little sulphur monitor here.
This thing is incredible.
Six months old or so? - Mm hm.
- Trying to learn all the socialization.
So, they always start out on the floor,
so they can get used to everybody visiting
with them every day. - Oh my gosh.
- And then we'll work them into the integrated tours.
- You can already tell how absolutely docile it is.
It is beautiful, and sulphurs are great.
They're an Asian water monitor,
but they have this beautiful yellow color to 'em,
faded almost like highbush, unbelievable.
As they get bigger, even more beautiful.
This is a handful of joy right here.
These of course, are little bearded dragons,
but these are red hypo translucent witblits.
Absolutely incredible genetics.
It's wild how far bearded dragons have come
the last 20 or years or so.
We have one, two, three, for, five, six.
I mean, come on, half dozen bearded dragons.
You can't get better than that.
- Oh my God, it's so cute.
Dad, dad, you've gotta come check this out.
- What?
- You know what this is?
- Is it a box turtle?
- No, try again.
- Burmese mountain tortoise.
- Nope, try again.
- Galapagos Island tortoise. - It is.
- Oh my gosh. I didn't know.
How cool is that? That is amazing.
- Have you ever seen one this tiny?
- I've seen some this small. Yes, I have.
They're absolutely incredible.
Obviously, one of the largest tortoises on the planet.
Parallel evolution with our Aldabras,
just like Mathilda.
Under a year old,
it's gonna live 200, 250 years even, potentially.
That is absolutely adorable.
- Dad. Can we get it?
- Let's see. $4,500.
- Y-E-S. Oh, Noah, Noah. - Oh, oh, oh.
- Got it. - Noah.
Got him. - Got it. We got it.
- My- - This is a African bullfrog.
They're from (cricket chirping)
Africa. - Africa.
- And - And
- they call 'em bullfrogs, - Frogs.
- because they - because they
- like...
- Cow pastures. - Yeah.
- Is that right? - Looks like cow dung.
- You guys were supposed to be the teachers today.
- Oh.
- They're also called the Sumo frog
to like show which one is the
dominant of the hierarchy, - Ouch.
- which they live in in their society.
- Yeah. - They Sumo wrestle,
- Sumo.
- Each other and then the male gets all the women.
- It's also called the bullfrog,
cuz it looks like bull poop. (squelching sound)
- They have three fangs.
They clamp down onto things.
- Something really cool.
- Vampires. - They have vampire teeth.
- Vampires.
- Boys, tell me a little bit about estivation.
- That's when they bury into the ground
and they put the dirt - Dirt.
- on themselves.
- And it'll help them thermoregulate.
- No, estivation is the opposite
of a hibernation or brumation.
They will basically go into a dry season.
They will bury their self and go completely dormant.
Some frogs have been known to go dormant
for up to a decade or longer
before they actually emerge
when the rains come.
- That's what we said. - That's literally
what we said.
- Jay, Noah, get over here.
Check this out.
- Oh my guy. - Are you sure about that?
- Let's do it.
- [Brian] You guys gonna grab her?
- No, no.
- You're gonna- - You're gonna grab her.
- Oh my goodness. - Oh God. (jaws snapping)
- Jay!
- Come on, what are you- - You almost just got your-
- What are you doing?
I got him.
- So this is an albino alligator just like Soap,
but obviously a lot smaller.
You are crazy. - Why?
- Why are you taking it back? - Why? Yeah.
- Because I was gonna give it to you.
- Oh, I'm not touching it. - I'm gonna give it to Noah.
We're professional. - But take a look here guys.
This is what I love about this.
Not only is the albino alligator absolutely amazing.
There's so many enclosures
that have these beautiful,
I mean, look at the rock work on this. Got a beautiful pond.
This is just absolutely ideal for an animal like that.
And that's something that you don't see
most shops, right?
That's what makes this shop so absolutely incredible.
I mean, I love their enclosures
as much as I love their animals. (jaws snapping)
- [Brian] You gonna try? - I don't want to.
- You don't want to? - No.
- See, we have an understanding.
- I love that animal.
Hoping to get a couple more baby albinos this year.
Fingers crossed.
- You know, - Dad, dad.
- the right specialist. - All right,
let's go ahead and get this guy back.
I think I won him over.
We're friends now.
- Dad, can we get that- - Sure. ( scratching glass)
- Oh, okay. I'll get him. It's okay.
Take a look at this Chinese water dragon right here.
This is absolutely a beautiful animal.
You know, it's interesting,
because I've never actually worked
with Chinese water dragons,
but they're just so prehistoric looking.
I absolutely love them to death.
So, one day definitely gonna have
to add these guys, for sure.
They do like a lot of water as well.
You could set up a really cool paludarium
set up for these guys
that would be absolutely amazing.
I think this little monkey wants to go back.
Look at how adorable these guys are.
These of course, are little baby Sulcata.
It's just like Speedy.
Can you imagine that one day Speedy was this big?
I mean, it's just absolutely so cute.
Of course these guys do get pretty big.
A lot of times when people see 'em like this
and they think, "Oh my God, they're so cute."
You gotta remember when you're buying a Sulcata,
you're buying an animal that's gonna get big
and you have to be willing to take care of it.
How cool is this little monkey right here?
The northern blue-tongued skink.
You see a lot of blue-tongued skinks in shops,
but you don't see the northerns very often.
And I just think the northerns
are kind of the best ones to buy,
because they're not too expensive,
but they're so much more chilled
than the Indonesian.
Don't get me wrong.
Still love Indonesian blue-tongues,
like all blue-tongued skinks,
but the northerns are still my favorite.
And this guy's a little ripper here.
(record scratching)
It's a little falsey?
- Yep, one of the little babies
that was born here this year, little female.
- Oh my gosh.
Now you work with the lavenders too, right?
- Lavenders, the white ones, the hypos.
We have all the colors of falsies.
They're kind of our personal favorite.
We will have lots of fun falsey babies available this year.
Still a couple cute ones left.
- If you haven't seen the lavender.
Oh my gosh.
And then the white ones.
Ridiculous.
And yeah, definitely gonna be getting some
from this guy here later on this year.
- Snapper turtle. - What?
- Snapper turtle.
- This is absolutely ridiculous right here.
This is actually a leucistic snapping turtle.
I mean, you don't see these guys around very often.
I mean, they are rare and they are so cool.
Again, rather than being that brown color,
these guys are white,
which makes 'em incredible.
Look at that thing.
Just ready. He's ready to snap.
Because these are the northern snapping turtles
not the alligator snapping turtle
they have a much more aggressive kind of neck snap.
If I put my finger too close this way,
he'll snap right around and get it.
Whereas the alligator snappers are typically
just straightforward.
Wow! What a specimen.
Look at the belly on this guy here.
Look at inside of his mouth.
Just pure white.
What an awesome animal.
- Dad. - Dad.
- Dad. ( Noah throat clearing)
We- - We got a tarantula
- For - For you
- To - it's just a fireleg.
- They - Can we hold this one?
- I don't care. I don't touch spiders.
- Spider person. - Spider person.
- [Cameraman] Are you spider person?
- We wanna take out the fireleg.
- Ah, that one's a little jumpy at first.
- Sh!
- [Cameraman] It's really good how, right,
you were just telling us how good it was
before that. - Yes.
- Yeah we need to take out the fireleg, okay?
- Any of them good to handle?
- Fireleg. - Yeah.
- No way.
- He just said it. - You didn't hear?
- Jumpy.
- [Cameraman] No, he said he's pretty jumpy today.
He's had a lot of coffee. - Yeah, he said he's-
- I do drink a lot of coffee. - Oh!
- This is how it always happens.
- This is how it always goes.
- Look at this here guys,
this is a little crocodile.
Actually a little American crocodile.
Take a look at that.
- Whoa, that is awesome.
- Isn't that incredible?
Oh my gosh, I love this thing.
This is absolutely in-
- [Noah] Can we get one of those?
- Let me touch it. - Look at how cute it is.
- Oh, oh. - Noah, that is-
No, no, no, no, no.
Noah will put it on his nose.
- Not the crocodile. - Do you wanna hold it?
It's, look at, it's not even open its mouth.
It's super chill. Look at that.
You can pet its face. It's so nice.
- Okay, you can take it back. - That is amazing.
Of course, American crocodiles are
from the Southeast part of this country.
The only place that crocodiles
and alligators actually coexist,
which is really, really cool.
To be holding a little tiny baby
that can't be much older than just a month or so.
That is absolutely ridiculous.
- Fireleg? - Fireleg?
♪ F, F, F, Fireleg ♪
♪ He's got that fire for fire for ♪
(record scratching)
- I'm not holding a fireleg.
Is there anything in here
that is not bad to hold?
(lid opening)
- [Jay] Confident.
- [Noah] You remember how to do it?
- [Jay] Remember how to, you gotta scoop from the bottom.
- Whoa. - Dad.
- [Cameraman] That's not good.
(Jay clapping)
- And red knee bounce clounce. - Just like that.
- I like this one, man.
- [Cameraman] Red knees are so beautiful and like-
- They're a lilac- - We don't have one.
- I know we have one.
- My turn.
- [Jay] Be gentle with her. - Gentle, gentle, gentle.
- Wow. - Wow.
- This one's beautiful. - I love this one.
- You should buy it, Noah. - Can we buy it?
- Wait, I'm not done.
It's a juvenile. - Can we buy it?
- Yeah, I think we should buy it.
- Can we actually buy it?
- Yes, I think we can actually buy it.
- 'Cause I don't even really know how to react.
- Look at it real quick.
Oh! - Doesn't hurt.
- Ah! - Nope.
Don't wanna buy that anymore, dad.
- I dunno, I think we should stay away from it.
- [Cameraman] Yeah, no more tricks.
- Damn.
- Check this out. We got a prairie dog.
This is the first dog in the world.
Can you believe a German shepherd came from this?
Scratch its little back.
You smell that?
Mm, pancake mix.
Jay, come help me out.
- I'm actually Googling prairie dog fact right now.
- Okay. All right.
- Let me hit you with some stuff.
They can live three to four years.
- That's sad.
- This one here, 13. Broke some records.
- Well we'll take that one.
- [Steven] Yeah.
- 13. - Yeah.
- They like head scratches.
- They mate once a year, in early winter.
- Sounds like me.
- Most diverse vocals of the animal kingdom.
- You know what else?
They can run up to 30 miles an hour.
- They bark like a dog.
- That's why they're named prairie dogs.
(Noah barking)
- It sucks. - Oh. Nope.
- And from this then chihuahua to German shepherd.
- [Noah] German shepherd?
- Even your Great Dane originated right, from that.
- Yep. - Wow.
- This kind of enclosure.
This is what I'm gonna do in my house.
The rocks got all this space
to climb up on the wall,
the waterfall, big branch on the inside.
Will you look at all this? You got so much room to dig.
It's gonna be in my house.
- It's so cool.
- This is a absolutely amazing croc.
I mean it's come over.
It's just so curious.
Trying to figure out who we are
and saying, "I might just creep over here."
Slowly but surely he's working his way over.
His name is King, five year old rock monitor.
Listen, I think I could do a 50 hour challenge in this one.
I think the next time I come down, I have to do that.
See him come over? He is so close right now.
Just put your hand right under his mouth.
So much intelligence, right?
You know, he's just coming over,
sniffing and no aggression.
You could see that tongue flicker.
It's just like, "What's going on?"
Unbelievable.
- There's a ornate uromastyx.
The blueberry ornate uromastyx.
That's what they're called.
The thing is, if I ran the world
everything would have a much cooler name.
Ornate. What does that even mean?
- [Cameraman] Means like pretty and decorated.
- Honest? - Yeah.
(electronic buzzing) - If I were to rule the world,
that's exactly what I was gonna name it.
Whoever named that, perfect.
I cannot wait till our three get older,
because look it,
there's not many blue reptiles in the world.
There probably is,
but I just don't know them.
So that's what makes them special to me.
- [Jay] Did you see this tortoise
got flattened by a car?
- That's so sad.
- It's actually not even true.
It's actually a type of tortoise
that looks like that.
No, I hit it. - Oh.
- I was the one that ran this over.
- [Jay] Hell, no this (beep)
- No it didn't. - No, No.
He hit his arm on the ledge - I- really hard.
(beep)
- You do it.
Noah will do it. He's way more brave than I am.
- Clearly this is a green tree jaguar pondo,
carpet python. - Carpet python.
- Doing my research.
- It's in shed right now too,
which you can't even tell because it's-
- It is? - Yeah, it really is.
- Let me take a look. - Pick it up.
- That's not in shed. - Definitely in shed.
- That's not in shed. - It's in shed. Is it in shed?
- 100% in shed.
- 100% in shed? Highlighter.
I like the hieroglyphic.
A green tree carpet python. - Carpet python.
- Green, they bred 'em together.
- Wait. - Yeah.
- A green? - Green tree python.
- What? Carry their eggs, plus four-
- Oh yeah. - Dead right.
- Four, that adds up. - Yeah.
- This is pretty exciting here,
because, of course, this is
what they call a pancake tortoise.
Obviously it's a pancake tortoise,
because it has a very flat shell,
but this is a little baby.
So this is actually this animal's baby here.
And long time ago they used to import these
and they were relatively cheap.
These guys come out of Tanzania
and now they don't import 'em at all
and they become very rare.
So, to get a little baby pancake is super rare
and they only have one egg at a time.
It's amazing to be holding a little baby pancake tortoise.
Something you don't see every day.
Tell me a little bit about this.
- So this is a baby guru monitor,
- Oh my. - which Jim Heck produced
and brought me. - Oh.
It's also het T negative. - Okay.
- So it's gonna produce a super cool one in the future.
So we have a pair of these for growing up.
They're kinda just getting used to their socialization,
cuz gurus are not always friendly
as to water monitors. - Yeah.
- They're a little bit loco.
- Well, that one's cool as could be.
I mean look at the pattern on it.
And that's the thing that's interesting
about the different localities of water monitors,
how different they look and the size difference.
Some of the island forms can literally
only get three foot long,
whereas, of course, the mainland stuff
and the Sumatran stuff gets five, six foot long.
It's really cool to see the difference
within water monitors.
- Wait. No.
(indistinct)
- It's so smart.
Initially it was literally food driven.
And as soon as it smelled Steve's hand
to realize, "Okay, I'm not getting fed.
Now I can calm down and look at this."
And then, what's the locality on this one?
- So this is a Zimbabwe water monitor
and they are actually one
of the more dwarf species of water monitors.
So, like three to four feet is adult with these guys,
which is super cool.
Wide variety of colors despite it's
from one locality.
- But look at that.
I mean, just in itself,
I mean the whites in it,
it's got yellows in it.
The pattern absolutely stunning.
Love these guys. You don't see 'em around too often.
This is a pine snake,
but it's a pine snake called a New Jersey pine snake.
And all those northern pinesnakes
always have that really heavy contrast.
But the New Jersey ones in particular
look absolutely incredible with that black and white.
Pituophis is what the genus that these guys are in.
So all the Pits are really cool animals
and definitely underappreciated.
Very keeled scale, so when you touch 'em very, very rugged.
I mean, just an absolute ripper of an animal.
This is an Argentine boa,
but a pretty special Argentine boa.
It's called a max pink line,
which this is really, really pink.
Now Interestingly enough,
the Argentine boas used to be pretty common.
Now they're almost impossible to find.
And then stuff like the max pink line,
the T positives and the motleys
are super, super sought after.
Literally 10 years ago these were maybe a hundred bucks.
Now they're over a thousand dollars
and the max pink line can even go
for more than that.
- [Steven] Yellow lilly white.
- So what makes it a yellow?
I mean, what's the yellow part of it?
Polygenic or is it-
- It's my only one that was ever born like this.
- Really? - It's just crazy.
- Normally they're like completely different.
Like there's so much more xanthophore in this,
fuzzing all that yellow. Wow!
- I know, breeding this one into some more
and see if we can't produce a couple babies that are yellow.
- Oh My gosh.
What should we name that?
- Pee pee.
pee pee.
(laughing)
- So, this is Lemondrop.
- Remember the other day when I showed you
a baby Australian water dragon.
I want to get this thing for myself.
Well, this is what they look like as they get bigger.
Now, these guys will literally get much, much bigger,
about two to three times this size.
And like I mentioned when I showed you the baby before,
these are almost like the anole of Australia.
You know, when you go to Florida
and you see those little lizards,
those are called anoles and they run around all the places.
Well, this is what you see when you're in Queensland,
especially when you're at like the Australia zoo.
They're running all over the place.
They're just amazing, beautiful animals.
Definitely want to get some of these for the zoo.
Look at the little dumpy or as they call white street frogs.
This is actually what they would call a snowflake,
cuz you could see all the little pattern on it.
These guys can sometimes come in like plum phase.
They can come in yellow phases
and of course, what you see in Australia
is just green animals,
which are so cool.
They'll get relatively large size
and the reason they call 'em dumpy,
the little eyelids are on the top here
actually come down and actually cover
some of their eyes when they get larger,
calling them dumpy frogs.
This is actually a snow western hognose snake.
Super, super cool.
Interesting thing about it is snows are actually
axantic and albino bred together.
We actually had the first axantics ever
in the entire world when we produced them
and then we ended up breeding 'em to albino
and produced the very first snow hognose.
So the fact that we can see these all the years later,
it's kinda cool. It's nostalgic.
See 'em I still love 'em to death.
- So these guys right here are, Noah?
- Brown sugar gliders.
- They are sugar gliders.
And guess how many is in here actually?
- Looks like one, but there's actually one,
Two. - Two.
- Three. - Four.
- There's four, four. (animals crying)
- Now we made them crab.
- Five. - Five, wait, turn it, wait.
- Seven. - Seven.
- They make a noise called crabbing
and when they make that noise
they basically want to be like put back or left alone.
So they made that noise
'cause we're just messing around with him too much.
Noah, just go ahead. - Eight. Take this one out.
You got it? - No, no.
- Yeah, no you got it.
Now, he's gonna crab when you take him out.
You just have to hold him tight in a ball.
They like to feel enclosed. - It's gonna be a manhole.
- Noah, you got him out. - Jay, Jay.
See that's a sugar glider. - Jay, Jay.
- It can't fly, Noah. - Oh, it can't?
- No, it just can glide.
Like it will jump, but they can't fly.
See, you're doing great. - Eish, no man.
(laughing)
- That means, "I really love you."
- Nine. - Nine.
- Take a look at this axolotl there.
Oh my Gosh. Soon as I get back from this trip,
I'm gonna be setting up my axolotl tank.
I'm super excited about it,
but just look at how cool they are.
I mean, to set up an enclosure
with a handful of these guys,
it's gonna be absolutely incredible.
Again, that's gonna come as soon as I get back.
- If you're ever in Jacksonville, Florida,
make sure you stop by Steve's place.
I mean, look it, you can get a little mister,
a reptile shelter,
anything you need,
even a reptile.
Use discount code addchoiceNoah
for 10% off.
(sharply exhaling)
That won't actually give you anything.
- I'm super excited for the expansion.
I cannot wait to just be able to walk around.
See these big, beautiful turtles that we already have
just swimming around with the other fish.
I mean just look at this.
Look at how graceful that is.
Something you don't know about me,
I actually love fish, love fish.
Grew up with them.
So these guys back there, those are called clown loaches.
My mom actually has a couple
of them that are like eight years old right now.
These little guys right here, the black fins,
Those are some kind of sharks.
I don't know what kind of shark,
but some kind of little baby shark.
- Anyone that knows me knows that I love the genus anole.
This's a small woods anole here.
What's interesting is that on all of the islands
there's always like one big species of anole
and they're all so incredible.
I mean, look at the coloration on this.
I always said that the Anole genius is underrated.
Of course my friend, Herb Tye,
he's been working with tons of 'em,
now kinda putting them back on the map,
which I'm so glad that he is.
But look at that animal right there.
That is stunning.
"Please do not enter."
You know what that means. Let's go.
Oh, look at what's in here.
Oh, look at this.
A little Bengal. Oh my gosh.
Come here.
She's out and so are we.
Hope you guys enjoyed today's video.
If you did, there's a playlist

You can also hit that subscription button.
It would mean a lot to me.
Also hit that like button while you're down there.
Have a wonderful day reptile army.
Remember.
- [Visitor] I think you do have the taste already.
- [Jay] You did not. - Yeah, I did.
