- This is our new gecko room.
And Jessica has been working her butt
off to get it finished.
We're so close to being finished.
We only have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
and 6 cages in this room is completely finished
and you guys are definitely gonna wanna stick around
to later in the vlog, because
I'm gonna surprise Jessica with something awesome.
- Ooh, is it ice cream?
- But before that
Frams Cam sent us some cool geckos
let's check 'em out.
Our friends over at Fram can sent Jessica something,
which are pretty cool.
Take a look at these unbelievable.
- She's so pretty.
- I tell you what
so obviously this is just a normal African fat tail gecko.
I think I'm not sure.
It looks like a normal African fat tail
although it's really nice, right?
It's really pretty.
But this is
- This looks like an Oreo to me.
- An Oreo.
- So I'll have to double check with them,
but I think this one's an Oreo.
- That is beautiful.
So I didn't know that they were sending these guys.
They're absolutely incredible.
Shoot. You guys are amazing.
I'm gonna put a link into description to prams camp.
You guys need chameleons,
Definitely go give them some love, cause they're amazing.
That thing is ridiculous. - Yes.
- Thank you so much.
- My hair all pretty.
Obviously we try our best here to do the most
absolutely spectacular animal care that you've ever seen.
We do a lot of health checks every day.
We kinda walk through check everybody
but today we're gonna do a little bit deeper
on a couple animals.
Just make sure everybody's doing okay.
Make sure they don't have any problems.
Make sure that I don't get bit.
Woo!
Woohoo!
Relax. You guys are fine.
A okay.
I don't want to hurt you.
You shouldn't want to hurt me.
I'm just doing a little checkup right now.
Wow. Cuticles, cuticles, cuticles.
So their nails are growing great.
So they're getting enough calcium.
We definitely saw some activity in the back
of like her digging kind of building a nest.
Well, she honestly doesn't look big.
I mean, I don't know
if she's El Prego or not, but it'd be nice.
And the other one looks fine.
Just climb up the wall.
Nails are great.
- I think you gotta get that.
- Sure he's OK.
- Oh
- God. Their nails are so sharp.
Look at those nails for anybody who doesn't right.
Looking good.
Check his butt.
This might be her.
Oh my goodness.
Her nails, his nails.
I don't know which one's which.
The all both shed out and they both look great.
Oh, look at that.
Look at it's going into my, my skin.
That feels great.
Ah, buddy.
Hello!
Yeah. I think these guys are doing great.
(gecko screeching)
- I've got Gamora here.
She didn't actually work out
with the other male we tried to pair her with.
So I'm gonna pair her with the brand new male Reptar
from the Reptarium and a brand new cage.
So hopefully she'll be a little bit more
receptive this time.
- That cage looks incredible.
- This is Reptar.
He's never been introduced to a female.
So we'll see.
- Right. I'm actually gonna do Vlad the legless lizard.
Everybody knows he can be a little crazy sometimes.
Oh my God.
He's already so excited and I don't even have food.
Relax buddy.
Relax.
Oh my God.
Legless lizard.
I don't even know the checklist to run
through like legs gone eyes.
They closed.
Death roll.
Still able.
He's so weird.
Come here, come here.
Stop.
That's the Vlad that I know we're used to.
Ears. Still got 'em,
butt, tight.
- This looks weird.
- Hockey.
I don't even know.
He's so weird.
He just moves.
He doesn't stop.
But he's a good boy.
- This is the Oreo fat tail gecko right here.
And this is a leopard gecko.
You can see there's a lot of similarities
between the two right?
Basically these guys are just from a different region.
They're coming from Pakistan and India where these guys are
from west Africa.
And when it comes to setting up and breeding
they're a little bit different as well.
With leopard geckos, you can put three or four females
in an enclosure, no problem.
And then cycle a male through and breed 'em that way.
Whereas with the fat tail geckos, typically you
wanna be kept alone at the most,
you might want two females in a cage 'cause they
will fight a little bit.
So it's important to keep 'em really either separate or
to two females maximum.
And then when you cycle the male through,
you have to be a little careful
'cause they are kind of territorial.
Leopard geckos are certainly way easier to keep
and way easier to breed.
There's no doubt about that.
And that's the reason why so many people breed a lot
more leopard echos than they do fat tail geckos.
Guys, I am so excited to see this package of,
it should be here any minute,
to see Jessica excited about this.
It's gonna be absolutely amazing.
- Buddy. It just freaks me out.
You can do it buddy.
Like it's in the back.
I don't like you when she's in the back
it's always is in the back.
It's not always in the like what if she thinks it's food?
This is the thing that drives me cray,
like I can't just stick my hand under
- Stop lying to the world.
- Oh God, you moved.
Come here, beauty.
See? I don't like touching her under belly.
Oh God,
come here.
You're okay.
Everybody's okay.
Stop going up the wall and come here.
Stop touching my back.
Baloney. Right?
Leg beauty already sweating.
I go to the oh stop.
Don't go up my arm, please.
That's what drives me crazy especially.
Stop blowing.
I'm shaking.
I need to go
to the doctors to get my own checkup for mental.
Beauty.
She's got eight legs.
She's got some hair on her butt.
Oh, stop moving.
Please don't move.
Oh, don't try to climb up that.
Come on.
Just sit still. Sit still.
She got her teeth.
Got her eyes.
I think that's it.
I'm going home.
Stop touching my back.
Not funny.
- So with leachies, they're kind of picky about who
they actually want to mate with.
And actually like when you find a good pair
that don't fight, usually want to keep them together.
They bond pretty much.
If you've got a good bond in here,
you don't want pick them apart.
- And the package just arrived.
Let's show Jessica.
- I swear it better be ice cream.
- Jessica's been working so hard at the new Caledonia room
doing cages, like crazy.
So guess what?
We actually got her something. I just messed up.
I dunno what's going on?
It just doesn't work.
So we actually got her something for all her hard work.
My friend, John over at Johnny Racks.
I'm gonna put a link in the description,
actually sent us these and I am excited about it.
I don't know a whole lot about these, but I think you will.
Hang on.
Let me throw this first because I always
- There. Yeah
- I never throw the geckos.
Oh my gosh.
They're much bigger than I expected.
So my buddy Johns.
Yep. He sent
- Three fast new Annas.
- So these are new Annas.
Say that three times too fast.
You'd get banned from YouTube.
You'd get to monetize.
- So I might be incorrect, but three fast is one
of the first people to go collect them from (indistinct).
- Oh right.
Yeah. He actually, John actually told me
that these are second generation from the wild
- That's amazing!
- Second generation from the wild.
- That's so cool.
- These are a smaller locality though, right?
- Yep.
- And do you know anything else about 'em?
- I don't know too much about 'em.
I know that sometimes
they'll be a little bit more like spazzy is like
- Oh, a little flighty.
- Yeah. A little flighty.
- Oh my gosh.
- They seem like they're being pretty
good right now though.
- And this is the girl here.
Boom. And that is the boy there.
So again he said he was gonna send us a couple little ones.
I thought he was sending babies.
I'm gonna be totally honest with you.
- These are good size, yeah.
- So these are nice eyes and it's so, so John
thank you so much for this.
These will go great in the new Caledonia room
and now we have another locality of leechies.
There you go.
- So awesome! Yeah.
- What do they call these things again?
- Oh yeah.
Basically we got our little gas-
- Wait, what is it again?
One more time.
Gastropholis prasina.
Is that right? - Yeah.
- Oh nice. Okay.
Yeah. I don't speak French.
Anywho, you guys know these guys
from past videos hanging on our fingers or whatever.
You know so much.
This dude is already in there
with his mouth wide open
and he hasn't even been touched yet.
- He got check, get a dental check.
- Oh, he's gonna bite that guy.
Oh he didn't nice.
This is baloney.
Look at it.
He's wagging his tail, he's happy to see me.
Whoa. Oh crap.
This is already now going to play.
Oh, he's gonna bite my thumb.
I shouldn't have grabbed him much.
I'm gonna oh, he just all over me.
Gastropholis prasina.
Cute little buggers.
Fast. He pooped on me.
Let's check this guy out.
Come here a little bugger.
- Play his old game and find this test.
- Grab these guys.
Woo. They're just so quick.
Oh no.
(indistinct)
(yelling)
- He's trying so hard to bite me.
Prasina.
I don't know.
I don't even know what else to say.
They look good.
(indistinct)
- Thugs likes to hide a lot.
God, that one pooped all over me too.
Wayne.
- Like I keep mentioning.
It's amazing to have the colubrids out of brumation
and to start seeing these guys again.
Tomorrow we do the first feeding.
This of course is a female palmetto corn snake
that produced a couple beautiful clutches for us last year.
I mean what an absolutely stunning animal.
So many corn snakes to breed.
You guys know that I love the Abbots okeetee corn snakes
which are just a locality corn snake that has
amazing black bordering around it,
just a really most beautiful classic corn snake.
And it's so cool to just kind of see all these animals again
after three months of 'em being in brumation
because you know you almost forget about how beautiful
some of these animals are.
Look at this black and white cow king I've said this.
And I keep saying that black and white cow kings
have been one of the most underrated snakes in a long time.
And I know that the popularity,
these guys is just starting to explode.
- Toothless obviously is super food motivated.
As you can see, he's already right here.
And as you can see, he is already ready to run
down this, don't.
Come on right here. Right here, buddy.
Already ready to run down his little tree.
Come on, come on, come on.
Woo. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Come on. Oh look.
Right. So he is a little nervous right now
and this is actually a really cool thing that I wanted to
show everybody.
We've got actually a lot of really cool, fun things planned.
And one of those things actually involves him and climbing
and doing a lot of other cool stuff.
Really excited to actually show you guys this potentially.
There you go.
Good job bud.
So anyways, I really wanted to tell you guys
that this guy right here is ready to ready to rock and roll.
And he's so much fun to actually play with.
But when, when we actually do this next thing I'm
telling you, I just don't want to tell you too much.
It it's a secret, but it's gonna be so much fun
and everybody's gonna be involved.
I mean, I can't even wait, man.
This is gonna be cool.
Let's go. Let's go.
Let's go all the way down all the way down.
Let's go. Let's go.
Let's go all the way down.
Let go of the tail here, here, here.
There you go.
Good job buddy.
(laughter)
Look, he's like king Kong.
- Struck here.
This is a different way
I'm introducing them this time
with big Bertha and male in this cage here.
I let the male live in here
for a little bit first and then I introduced big Bertha.
But for this one, we're just gonna try
and introduce them both to a new cage.
Come on, buddy.
So this guy's a Gross Island.
They're one of the larger like island species of the geckos.
And then our female here is another
she's an island mix actually
but she's a pine island crossed with a new Ami or new Anna.
I can't remember which off the top of my head.
(gecko squeak)
Did you hear him squeak?
Now Shark is the one we had him with big Bertha previously.
They never produced anything, but hopefully
these two maybe will get along and produce something for us.
Gamora she's a Gross island, female.
She's a little bit of a smaller female
but she's probably about four years old.
So she should be ready to go.
I'm not sure where the male is sitting in here.
Let's see.
Okay. Let's set her in here.
- Hope for the best.
- I hope for the best.
Yeah. I hear her running around.
I don't know about this.
- There's a man in here!
Again, so many amazing snakes here.
I mean, look at this scale is Texas rat snake.
Oh my gosh.
That thing is on fire.
And you know, a lot of these animals
have been bred for the last several years
you know like the pink eye leucystic, Texas rat,
you know this is about six or seven years old.
So she's given plenty of babies, which is always amazing.
But then we have a bunch of new stuff up size this year.
That'll be the first time we're breeding 'em
and that's pretty cool.
Look at this tangerine albino hunter and milk snake.
This is the first year
that this female is big enough to breed.
So hopefully she'll have some babies.
And I tell you what that is gonna be
absolutely incredible.
Look at that monkey right there.
That thing is ridiculous.
And I'm excited about this as well.
These are are what they call Japanese rat snakes
or Kunashir island rattlesnakes.
And we're actually breeding this to an albino.
This is a head albino.
Now we used to breed these years ago, but this is
the first year of probably seven or eight years
that we actually have adults up to size.
So we might be able to produce some Kunashirs
and some albino Kunashirs.
It's gonna be amazing.
I tell you what, I can't wait to start feeding.
I can't wait to start getting the process going,
getting males in with females before you know it we're
gonna have eggs.
And then babies.
It's pretty crazy to think that we've been here
for three years and we didn't have a sign
saying the Reptarium out front.
Don't get me wrong.
We have to sign on the building.
But this pole sign was actually old businesses that used to
be in this building.
So it's really cool to finally have the Reptarium sign up so
that when people are driving by
they can see it from down the street.
- I said, we're finally not the Hays tobacco shop anymore.
- Hope you guys enjoyed today's video.
If you did, there's a playlist that you can watch
all kinds of videos.
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 be kind to someone and I promise
I'll see you in the next one.
- Go go go go go go go go go go go go!
Ugh.
I'm out.
