- Hey, good morning everybody and welcome to the vlog.
I have a clutch I'm gonna cut really quick,
but it only has one egg, we actually have
another clutch that we're gonna cut
that has like eight eggs later in the vlog,
but this is kind of cool because we're gonna see
how lucky my odds are right now.
This was actually a het caramel albino
bred to a spider het caramel albino.
So the odds are that one in four
could potentially be caramel,
one in six could potentially be a caramel spider.
And I've got one egg that's it, there was only one
fertile egg in this clutch.
So, what do you say we just jump into this
and see where my odds are.
Here we go, what are we gonna have?
What if it's just like a normal?
This will be really anti-climactic, that's for sure.
Oh my gosh,
we have a,
I thought was a caramel spider first
but it actually is just a caramel, which is still awesome!
I mean caramel albino, so there was a one in four odds
that I would hit a caramel albino with one egg,
I hit the caramel albino!
There for one second I was like, did I hit a one-in-six
odd with one egg?
But nevertheless, definitely got one
beautiful caramel albino here.
So that's gonna conclude egg cutting now.
But we're gonna come back later in the vlog
and we're going to cut this other eight egg clutch
and hopefully the odds gods will still be in our favor.
It's been a minute since we collected a colubrid clutch.
We've been collecting a handful here and there,
haven't really filmed a whole lot.
But this particular one is a Blizzard Sunkist Corn,
and looks like she's got one egg caught in her,
we'll look at that in a second.
But this girl actually laid about a 50% fertile clutch
the first time, so we'll see what kind of eggs she has here.
God, that's really weird.
Looks like a hundred percent fertile.
So, it's weird that the first clutch had a 50% fertility
but then the second clutch is 100% fertile.
She was actually bred to this male here,
this beautiful Blizzard Corn male right here.
Absolutely wonderful, now the Blizzard is actually
an albino type B anery which is the Black Corn,
but they actually call 'em Charcoal Corn.
So, the Charcoal Corns are lacking both red pigment
and yellow pigment leaving this kind of
beautiful pink snake with no pattern.
And then of course ,this is a Sunkist version
which just gives a little bit of green hue.
I'm gonna take this girl out really quick
and just see what she has going on here.
You can see she's got that egg,
but it's way up top here.
So there's no way we're gonna get in there
with a probe and try to get that egg out.
What we'll hope is we'll leave her alone,
we'll get some water back in with her,
and yeah, I can just feel that egg.
It's moving around really nice, so that's a good sign.
So it's probably not through the oviduct,
you know what I mean?
So we're gonna just try to make sure
she gets it down here because if I start to push it
the oviduct is probably gonna fold
and I'm not gonna be able to get it out.
Once she actually pushes it right down here by the vent
I can go in with the probe and probably get that egg out.
I think that they'll be completely fine.
That happens all the time.
In the meantime let's go ahead and take a look
at what kind of eggs we have.
Oh, and I do see one little slugger over here,
so when I said it was all fertile I was lying.
But it is one little slugger.
We've got one, two, three,
four.
Let's see five, six,
seven, eight good eggs from her
and they're a little bit desiccated,
so we're gonna take a little bit of this moss here,
gonna put it right on top, right here,
just to kind of have them pop up and that's good.
Again, only a couple more colubrids clutches
and we are done for the year with colubrid eggs.
But again, colubrids are hatching like mad.
I've got a tour in the house, how are you guys?
It's so great to meet you guys, where are you from?
- Ashwood, Ontario. - Oh my gosh, okay, awesome.
- Not too far. - Well good, getting across
the parking lot wasn't too bad?
- [Mom And Daughter] Nope.
- [Brian] Okay, good, excellent,
well we're gonna have a good time.
You said you want to see, - Perdita.
- Perdita, all right let's have a good time guys.
(electronic music)
A little lull in the hatching when it comes to colubrids.
We only have one clutch that is hatched out right now,
and it's kind of interesting and a little bit disappointing.
Don't get me wrong, I love any snakes that hatch.
But this was actually an anery, motley,
possible het scaleless and it was bred
to anery scaleless, so I was hoping
we would get some scaleless anerys
and who knows, maybe even some motley stuff
and unfortunately all we got
was a bunch of an anery corns right here.
We have one last egg that's actually due to pit
and I think I'm gonna go ahead and cut that.
And who knows, maybe we'll get lucky
and there'll be something awesome in there.
But, don't get me wrong, anery corns
are absolutely beautiful, there's no doubt about that,
and the anery is just lacking the red pigment,
making it basically a Black Corn snake.
And this is one of the earlier mutations
that came out, literally back in like the mid 80s.
Anery Corn popped up and they've been being bred ever since.
So they're relatively common in the pet trade
but let's go ahead and see what's in this last egg.
And again I don't cut a lot of colubrid eggs
just because they're so small,
it's almost hard to see what's inside of 'em.
So there's no real use in cutting them
to be totally honest with ya.
But we're gonna go ahead open this one up
and just see if there's anything else,
ah no, it looks like just another an anery corn snake.
Doesn't look like there's anything crazy there.
So yep, that's it, just one clutch
of colubrids hatching for today.
Again we have all of these colubrids
that are coming up to hatch over the next month,
month and a half, so we have lots of babies.
We're just in a little bit of a lull right now
and I remember when we were collecting eggs
there was a few days where there was hardly any clutches
and we're like, oh my god there's not much clutches.
Well obviously, when there's not a lot of clutches
being laid there's not gonna be a lot of clutches
at the same time about two months later being hatched.
So that's it, oh we got a little escapy here,
where you going buddy?
That's it for hatching snakes for the day.
Back to egg cutting guys, this actually is a pastel
bred to a fire bee which is a pastel,
a fire, and a spider, so we could get a bunch
of super pastel, all that fire and pastel stuff
mixes so good together, so let's just jump into
these beautiful eggs right here.
First egg cutting, here we go,
and what do we have in our first egg?
Okay looks like the first egg,
looks like it's probably a fire bee,
definitely a bumblebee which is a pastel in a spider.
Looks really light so I think it's a fire bee,
but until it crawls out, not 100% sure.
Let's go ahead and keep going on this next egg,
see what we have, like I said odds gods
were great to us earlier in the day.
Okay so what we have here is either,
this is what's tricky.
This is either a super pastel or a Firefly.
The fire and pastel look very similar to a super pastel.
my gut feeling is, is that this is a Firefly,
again once it comes out the heads are just
a little bit different and we'll be able to know,
but definitely looks like we've got a Firefly there,
I think, which is a fire in a pastel.
Egg number three, let's see what we got,
let's see what we got.
Woo, this is a pretty one!
Okay so now this one here I think it's a combination
of the super pastel and the fire,
so it's what they would call a super fly,
which is super pastel fire.
Really, really pretty snake there,
so, that's what we're getting some good combination so far.
Odds have been pretty good, let's see if we have it.
I really want to get a super pastel
or a Killer Bee Fire for sure,
that's the animal I'm really shooting for.
Again it looks like another Bumblebee
or potentially a Firefly, the fire pastel spider.
So, we'll see when it comes out the egg, but so far so good.
Still haven't hit the big one, the all gene animal,
that I'm hoping to get in this clutch, for sure.
Let's see what we got, let's see what we got,
Oh doggy!
Guess what guys, we hit it.
We hit the all gene right there!
That is a super pastel spider fire,
or what we call a Fire Killer Bee.
That was the animal I was looking for
and I tell you what, that is absolutely gorgeous!
We produced these in the past,
but it's always good to produce more
because they're absolutely gorgeous.
Let's see what else we get, maybe we'll get lucky
and get another all gene egg here.
This one looks a little bit dark.
Oh, oh, it's just a, I always laugh when this happens
because the odds of producing a normal ball python
are actually higher than the odds of producing
the all gene animal, and we just hit
a normal ball python, so, that's always funny,
I just have to laugh when that happens.
It's still cool 'cause hey, listen,
I like hatching any snake at all,
whether it's a normal or a mutation
or whatever they're all absolutely incredible.
Okay we have another Firefly for sure.
This one's definitely a Firefly
'cause I can see the head, the head is not as much
super pastel as this Firefly,
so another Firefly which is a pastel and a fire.
And then last egg, come on baby,
let's end this day the way I would love to
with a big good animal here.
Let's see what we got,
and it doesn't look like we're gonna end the day
with a really big one, this is just
a normal fire ball python.
So a single gene animal, but still not bad.
All in all pretty good odds today.
So, I definitely am in a good mood.
We'll have a bunch of snakes hatched out
when we get back from our Utah trip,
so this might be the last egg cutting
for the next five or six days.
So for those of you that are getting sick of egg cutting,
you'll have a little break from it.
When we get back, we'll have a bunch of snakes
that have already hatched while we're gone,
and then we'll cut some more eggs.
So, on to the next thing for the day.
We have a birthday party going on.
Just getting started here at The Reptarium,
but ironically enough, the mayor of the city called me
and asked me if I could come out
to an event they're having at a park,
it's just about a mile down the street.
He said, "Could you please bring some reptiles?
"A bunch of kids are gonna be there."
And hey, listen you can't really turn down the mayor, right?
So I'm gonna pack up some animals, get over there,
and it should be a really fun time.
(upbeat music)
So we're here at the park.
A bunch of tents, a bunch of people.
You know, not tons of people walking around yet,
but there's all these tents.
I have no clue where we're supposed to set up
and I don't know how I find anyone like the mayor
to tell me, so I'm just gonna walk around
and see if there's an empty tent
and then I'll guess I'll post up there.
All right, so we just got here,
got started, a bunch of people came over
having a great time,
just kind of sharing all the animals,
so far, I wasn't sure if anyone's gonna even be here
but, it's been an absolute pleasure
(electronic music)
Okay, all packed up here, definitely a really good time,
nice relaxing time, just nice to be outside.
It is definitely very hot here but it's time to get back to
the Reptarium because we're about to open up
in about a half hour.
Another clutch had actually hatched in the egg hatching cam,
the 24-hour cam, live reptile cams, link in the description,
if you guys want to see throughout the summer
and into the fall, animals hatching, you can watch it
24 hours a day
and this was another collection that hatched out here,
it was actually a pastel bred to a Woma Lessor Pinstripe
and this is interesting
because when I cut this clutch sometimes
you see different things in the egg,
they crawl out, something is different of course, ow!
This little monkey got me, oh my gosh,
I'm leaking a little bit.
What the heck, little dude.
So, yeah ball pythons are really tame.
They actually normally are
but this one definitely got me right in the cuticle.
Regardless, this is a Lemon Blast which is a pastel
and a pinstripe.
Ironically enough, we produced the very first Lemon Blast
and Laurie is the one that named it Lemon Blast,
so, whenever you see a Lemon Blast,
now you know the back history of it.
So we did get one Lemon Blast
and then I remember this little one right here,
I actually thought was a Woma Pinstripe in the egg,
well, now that it's hatched out,
I realized that it is just a normal Pinstripe.
It just has some interesting kind of reduction of pattern
and that's kind of what happens sometimes,
just with the polymorphism and again I remember this
was just a normal Pinstripe,
sure enough, it was a normal Pinstripe,
so I thought we had a Woma Pinstripe and a Pinstripe,
turns out we had two Pinstripes, a Lemon Blast
but we did hit the all gene animal here
which is actually the Pastel Woma Lesser Pinstripe,
which is absolutely gorgeous, this is a really cool snake.
So, these guys are all crawled out of the egg,
we'll go ahead get these guys set up, they'll shed out
in about seven to ten days, we'll get some food into them
and eventually they'll make it their way to the website
but some of you guys were actually able
to watch these come into the world
and what I think is really cool
over on the reptile live cam, is that everyone names
the animals as they're hatching,
so it's pretty cool that you guys could actually name 'em
and I'll do the best I can do to kind of follow along
and if I keep any for sure, I'll keep those names
because you guys are absolutely awesome.
You ready?
- Let's do this
- All right, let's go,
let's go ahead and open up at the Reptarium.
Hey guys, hi, come on in guys, hi guys, how you doing?
