(dramatic music)
- Oh she wants to strike every second.
Keep her, watch out, watch out, watch out!
(downbeat music)
Hey, Good Morning everybody.
It's 4:30 in the morning.
I'm in Dallas, Texas.
Welcome to The Vlog 666.
So I'm back at the airport.
I tell you what, I've been excited about this day
for the last couple of months.
I cannot wait to share with you what happened,
but that's back at BHB.
So, the truth is we need to get to BHB right now.
(clicks) And I am back here at the shop.
And I cannot wait to show you this.
And by this, I mean, this!
Take a look!
Lucy is wrapped around a huge clutch of eggs.
That's right, a couple of days ago
Kelsey actually sent me pictures,
and Eric and Mary were going back and forth.
- Guys, I'm really excited to share you with this,
but we just realized Lucy is laying her eggs.
Literally, right this second.
- And I said, let's not pull 'em,
as long as she coils around them really good,
which she certainly has.
I said, let's wait till I get home.
- We can see four eggs,
and it looks like she's pushing another out right now.
Can you see that way back there?
- Just by happens that it turned out to be on Vlog 666.
Now, of course this is Lucy.
If you guys didn't know, her name is Lucy
because it's short for Lucifer.
So how ironic is that,
that I'm gonna pull
this girls clutch of eggs on 666?
- Not disturbing her, because we're waiting
for Brian to come back
before we actually collect them.
But, it looks like she's still nice and tight on there,
keeping 'em all covered, so that's a good thing.
You know, when we saw when she was laying 'em,
there's definitely good eggs in there.
So, I think actually everybody at the shop
has odds on guessing the correct number of eggs.
So, we'll see after Brian is back
and collects 'em, who actually wins.
I think it's a really big pot,
I think it's around six bucks,
'cause everybody like, did a dollar. (laughs)
So you guys can go ahead,
and you can comment and guess on this one,
how many eggs you think she has.
Once the actual unveiling comes out
we'll see how many of you guys are correct too,
and see who the big winner here at BHB is.
I think the odds are in my favor,
because I've witnessed way more large clutches being laid.
But, you never know.
I mean, its a big pot, six bucks.
So, I'm hoping I'm the winner.
- Regardless guys, she is fired up.
Now I'm gonna be totally honest with you.
With you're pulling a big python like hers eggs,
typically right after they lay
they're a little wore out.
So you can kinda get 'em off the eggs.
She's had two days to rest up.
She is definitely gonna be a handful.
Let's just go ahead and jump in here.
But not before we ask the crew
how many eggs they think she actually has.
- [Brian] How many eggs do you think Lucy has?
- I'm guessing 60.
- 65.
- 72, two slugs.
- About 57. - 83.
- 80. - 50.
- I'm gonna go low on this one,
I'm gonna say 43 eggs.
Alright so here's the deal guys.
I have a roll of paper towel,
just to kinda protect myself a little bit.
And listen if she bites this paper towel
it's not gonna hurt her at all,
I mean it's totally squishy.
I prefer her not to bite it,
but I really would rather her bite the paper towel
than my face, or my hand.
Right, so, I've got a snake hook, I've got this.
Guys here, are here as backup
so I'll probably hand them the eggs
so I can really concentrate on Lucy.
So let's just jump right into this.
Lucy? (dramatic music)
You okay, girl?
Okay.
Alright.
(dramatic music)
Oh!
(swoosh)
Okay, you're alright girl,
you're okay, you're okay.
Okay, okay, okay.
Oh, I don't know how I'm gonna do this,
it's gonna be fun.
Woo!
(dramatic music)
Oh she wants to strike every second.
(swoosh)
Woo!
That, I don't want that to be my hand.
Look what she did to that, that would have been messy.
Come on girl.
(dramatic music)
Oh she is fired up!
(dramatic music)
I'm not a hundred percent sure
of what I'm gonna do here guys.
I think I might have to literally
try to somehow get her off her eggs.
She is protecting 'em.
The biggest thing is here,
I don't want her to hurt her eggs either.
So, I have to do this thing where
I get her off, but gentle.
She's just so focused on that,
it's hard to get her to do anything.
She's so upset.
(swoosh)
Gosh, it's so bad.
(dramatic music)
Uh-oh, now I've lost my hook.
(swoosh)
Woo, this is crazy!
Keep her, watch out, watch out, watch out!
Let her go, let her go!
Alright take over here.
Quick, quick, quick!
Kelsey, I don't want (yells)
(dramatic music)
Yeah, Kelsey she would come back on you.
But, she's not the normal Lucy,
where you can like get her to sit once she's moving.
(dramatic music)
okay, good, good, good, good.
A couple more.
Eric, did you say two slugs? - [Noah] Yeah he did!
(Laughing and cheering)
- You were right on the number.
(Laughing and cheering)
- I synced up with her, I synced up with her.
Sometimes you just know.
- Alright guys, so we got the eggs,
no one got bit, she was definitely fired up.
We definitely are gonna have to give her
a day or so to calm down.
Her cage needs to be cleaned.
But holy moly she gave me a run for my money!
Now it's time to count the eggs and see who won!
- I think it's me, 72 eggs and two slugs.
- Well he's got the two slugs, he ain't got the 72.
So let's go ahead and count these things.
Okay, so we got two slugs here,
we got two, four, six, eight, ten, twelve,
fourteen, sixteen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty.
Twenty-two, twenty-four, twenty-six, twenty-eight,
thirty, thirty-two, thirty-four, thirty-six, thirty-eight,
forty, forty-two, forty-four, forty-six, forty-eight,
fifty, fifty-two,
fifty-three, and fifty-four.
So 54 eggs, two slugs.
Who was closest?
- I guessed 57.
- But yeah, but wasn't it like if you go over
it goes back to the lowest, nah! (laughs)
I was just trying to steal the victory, guys.
Okay, so there you have it, what was it, 54?
54, two slugs, so really it was 56 so you were really close.
That is awesome, woo!
That gets your adrenaline going guys, I gotta be honest.
But how awesome is that?
Look at that beautiful clutch of eggs.
Can you imagine?
- I'm so excited! (laugh)
- I know, oh my gosh.
Alright guys, we're gonna go ahead
and get these guys separated, get 'em
in an incubator box.
Hey, you know it takes about 70 to 80 days
for retics to typically hatch and we're gonna have
a whole bunch of little squirmy guys.
Now we are gonna be looking for people
that are specifically able
to take care of big snakes.
We're not just gonna sell these to anyone,
so, if you guys are interested
hit us up, we'll go from there.
As for now, that's Vlog 666.
Just a quick break from the Vlog,
I'm not gonna lie, I was watching that footage
and I'll be honest with you,
I'm out of practice.
You know, years and years ago I bred Burmese
and Reticulated Pythons,
even African Rock Pythons
and I was much better at taking away eggs.
I mean, when I watched that I thought,
wow I look like an amateur.
Because that definitely wasn't
the best big snake eggs extraction that I've ever seen.
But hey, it's been probably seven or eight years
since I've actually had a big clutch
and probably twelve or thirteen years
since I've really had multiple clutches of big snakes.
So although I looked a little amateur, trust me,
it's not that easy.
And when you haven't done it often,
it becomes pretty intimidating.
Lucy is doing really great,
it's the next day and she's calmed down.
We've got her caged cleaned up,
we're gonna get her some food later this week
and I think she's gonna get really beat back up,
ready for her move over to The Reptarium.
But I'll tell you what, that was awesome!
I cannot believe 54 good eggs, I mean wow!
That is amazing, I'm so excited when these guys hatch.
Now the problem is,
is I'm not really super up on retic morphs.
So when I'm hatching all these different combinations,
I'm gonna probably have to call my buddy Jay over
at Prehistorics, just to figure out what I'm hatching.
But, that's still 70, or 80 days away.
Alright, so now that the adrenaline has kinda calmed down
from removing Lucy from her eggs,
we have a slightly smaller python to remove.
What do we have?
- We have a black pastel, high ghost ball python
bred to a pastel manoff.
- [Brian] Beautiful, that's nice.
Oh look at that, great clutch of eggs.
Look at that, not bad.
It's certainly not 53 eggs,
but that's a beautiful clutch of ball pythons right there.
- So much easier. (laughs)
- No drama there, no drama, it's a good way to go for sure.
Oh my gosh, how many eggs do we have in there?
- One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
- Nine eggs, not bad.
Nine eggs, that's a really good clutch.
So, that is gonna wrap up our day
for collecting python eggs.
That was absolutely awesome,
and I'm glad that we ended it with some ball pythons.
Good job Kelsey.
Guys do me a favor really quick.
Noah was actually vlogging right well we were
pulling those eggs. - Of course.
- Different angle, I'm gonna put a link in the description.
Gotta check it out because again, you know,
that was pretty crazy.
- That was really cool, words can't explain.
- It was great, and he was really,
he was filming and he was freaking out
because the snake kept on lunging out at him
while he was filming.
So definitely check that video out again,
link in the description, show him some love, please.
And with that said guys, I don't know how else
to end the vlog aother that to just end it right there,
because that was absolutely incredible.
I hope that you guys enjoyed Vlog 666,
thank God we have that behind us.
I'll tell you what, I've been thinking about that
for a while and it worked out kinda crazy with Lucy,
of course Lucifer, laying a clutch of eggs.
How crazy it that?
And I hope that you enjoyed it.
You guys have an absolutely amazing day.
Thank you for all your support,
I love you guys so much.
Can you do me a couple of favors before we get out of here,
smash that "like" button, for pulling Lucys eggs,
hey that was a little bit dangerous.
Make sure you turn those post notifications on,
and leave a comment, let me know what you thought
about pulling those eggs.
Always be kind to someone,
and I promise I'm gonna see you guys tomorrow.
