- [Male voice] Uh oh, uh oh
- [Brian] Okay we are in trouble guys, we have baby
snakes going all over the place.
This was just a normal ball python that was bred
to a banana extreme gene.
Now that extreme gene again, reduces pattern
and so on like that.
Five eggs and guess what?
You could leave life right now.
- Oh my god, oh my god.
- Brian, Brian!
- Hey good morning everybody and welcome to the blog,
from me and my guy here Casper.
You know handling big snakes is absolutely incredible,
but can definitely come as a little bit of a challenge.
So later in the blog today we are actually going
to be cleaning Butterscotch 'cause she destroyed her cage.
But unfortunately Bruce and Jessica won't be here
until later in the day.
They were on vacation remember.
So I've gotta get Noah and Eric to help me out
which could be pretty interesting to say the least.
They're gonna have to wrangle Butterscotch while I
am cleaning the cage because that's just the way it goes.
In the meantime I'm just gonna play with Casper
and together we are gonna have an amazing day.
A ton of people come to the Reptarium and always say
that video really doesn't do the animal justice.
Things like Night Fury here or Perdita or a few
of the other animals are.
It's like you really can't see how amazing they are.
So we're kinda on a mission today to do something different.
I'm gonna try to take a handful of animals, the ones
that I get the most comments on at the Reptarium
about not really seeing their beauty
until you see them in person.
We're gonna do our best we can do to really show
you how amazing these animals are.
So what do you say we get started with Night Fury.
Night Fury is certainly an animal that you can't really
see how incredibly iridescent he is until
you see him in person.
And I tell you what, even I'm blown away by
taking him outside.
This is the first time since he's gotten larger
I've seen him in the natural sun.
And oh my gosh, this thing is just glowing.
What a beautiful snake.
And again you can't appreciate this thing
unless you see it in person.
And hopefully now we've captured how amazing it is.
Baby kluber check-in.
First clutch we're gonna take a look at is these little
corns, OH and as soon as I open them up they come
popping out.
This is actually a het strawberry snow bred to the same
so the strawberry snow is like a hypo snow.
It just is kinda really bright and lots of pink,
not like the coral snow or the salmon snow
but a little bit different.
But right off the rip we've got some normal corns here,
we've got little black corns here, and of course
we have snow corns right here.
And even a little albino over here
and we've got some escapees.
Please, come on, it's the first box.
I can't let 'em all go yet.
You guys cooperate, you guys cooperate.
Really beautiful little snakes, and again as these guys
get size to them they typically get a lot more pink.
Again the salmon and the corals are a little bit more pink,
'cause this is actually a recessive mutation,
unlike the line-bred polygenic of the coral snows.
Never the less, look at, we got away with not
having snakes get all over the place
and they're absolutely incredible.
Moving on to the next
Ooh I was excited about this,
This is actually a (mumbles) milk snake that was bred
to a really cool patterned male.
I'm gonna be honest with ya, they don't look
all that different, to be honest with ya.
You, OW, what are you do, what are you doing
you little monkeys right there.
They actually didn't come out with that really cool
pattern I was hoping was gonna get passed on.
But hey I still won't complain about it because they're
still beautiful little baby puaba milk snakes.
This one has a little bit of apricot to it.
These other ones kinda do too so not too bad.
We're gonna go ahead and put these guys away
before they start jumping around because that's
gonna happen relatively soon too.
This is actually a kind of an interesting,
oh my god we are in trouble big babies right here.
I guarantee you these are gonna be all
over the place though.
These are actually a sun kissed,
and you can see a little hypo sun kissed over there.
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh.
Okay we are in trouble guys we have baby snakes
going all over the place.
There's some really interesting animals in here though.
Not really sure what's going on.
Again this was a hypo sun kissed bred to a het sun
kissed animal.
Some really big babies that look really interesting
(ding sound)
but gosh I'm gonna have to put my camera down.
Uh come on guys come on, okay guys, Ooh!
All right get these guys in here.
(lid closing sound)
Make sure there are no heads caught, no tails caught,
stuff like that.
Okay everyone looks good, all right moving on.
I tell you what that was pretty hectic.
Okay so what we have here is, OH, these are really cool.
It's been a little bit since we had some more of these guys.
So this is second clutches.
These are actually Nigretis Mexican black king snakes.
Of course the ones that everyone loves.
Got one still in the egg right here,
look a that cute little monkey still in the egg right there.
That is unbelievable, so I think we have two or three
more clutches of these and then we're done.
I know we put a bunch up on the website recently.
I think a lot of them, if not all of them,
sold really quick so we will have some restock
of those guys and get some Mexican Black king
if you guys are interested.
Let's see what, oh this is a really cool,
oh my gosh these guys are gorgeous.
Take a look at these right here, hoo.
These are actually all caramel motleys so this
was actually a caramel motley potentially het
for scaleless bred to a caramel scaleless.
So every baby here is a caramel motley that is
het for scaleless.
Wow these guys they are kinda tiny I'm not gonna lie,
but look at this one right here, hoo.
That's like a little striped cubed motley
that really gorgeous.
Wow I love these guys, but with them being
that small we're gonna definitely gonna
be working hard to get those guys eating that's for sure.
And then lastly, oh, just some albino Nelson's milk snakes.
I mean take a look at these cute animals here.
It's a big clutch too.
This is actually a het Nelson's bred to an albino Nelson's.
Bunch of really cool snakes so, gosh I just love,
uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh oh,
uh oh, uh oh, oh
Okay stay in there, stay in there, stay in there,
stay in there, stay in there.
Okay, it's Okay, up gonna set it down.
Stay in there guys, uh oh.
Check to see okay, no heads no tails stuck so
we're good to go, so there is, I love this time of year.
Love hatching snakes, we still have a bunch
more clutches to go but we are getting closer
to the end, but there's your baby Klubers for the day.
People all the time tell me that in the videos
they think that Perdita is just black and white.
And then when they actually come to the Reptarium
they're surprised that it has some yellows has some
browns it even has grays, not just the black.
So hopefully we're really giving you an opportunity
to see just how absolutely amazing she is.
And again she's constantly changing.
More spots, different coloration, the majority of the gray
that you are seeing right now actually used to be yellow
and then it turned gray.
It's just cool to see a snake like that continually
changing every single time it sheds.
Got a couple clutches of ball pythons that hatched out.
And again been getting really weird results this year.
Which is good and bad I guess, and today
I think it's pretty good.
This was just a normal ball python that was bred to a
banana extreme gene.
Now that extreme gene again, reduces patterns
and so on like that.
Five eggs and guess what?
Five bananas.
That's right, now theoretically I should
only get about half of 'em coming out banana.
So it's been weird that I've been getting
all these crazy out.
Remember that albino clown to the end, she had
albino and all eight eggs were albino.
So it's pretty cool, theoretically I expected to get
some spiders and some extreme genes and normals
and stuff like that but hey, that's awesome.
So again, we've got one, two, three little banana
ball pythons.
Now weirdly enough we didn't get extreme gene bananas.
We got three normal banana ball pythons.
Absolutely incredible, and then of course we've
got this little monkey right here,
which is actually a spider banana ball python.
And then we got the beautiful animal here.
And I know these things are so absolutely incredible.
This is a banana extreme gene.
And you can tell the difference between the two, right?
You've got the banana that is reduced pattern for sure,
but then you've got the extreme gene banana
that is not only even more reduced but also kinda
stripy and that's something that extreme gene does.
So absolutely incredible, so pretty cool clutch.
All bananas and the one extreme gene banana spider.
I'll take that every day.
And then I had to show you this clutch.
There's really no surprise in this clutch whatsoever.
I just want to show 'em 'cause I think they
are absolutely beautiful.
This is actually an albino ball python bred to an albino
ball python so we got three little baby albinos,
all of them look really good.
Now sometime you have to be a little careful
with the bloodlines with albino to albino because
that's how Helen was born right?
She was born with no eyes because she was an
albino to an albino so we didn't do that albino
to albino breeding again, if that makes sense.
But we've had some history with this particular
pairing and they always come out really good,
solid no deformities and so on like that so we got three
little baby normal albino ball pythons.
Again, not a surprise nothing special in the clutch
other than the fact they're absolutely gorgeous.
I love little albino ball pythons.
We'll get all these monkeys set up, they'll shed
in the next week or so and we'll get 'em feeding.
And then the next couple weeks they'll be on the website.
So absolutely incredible.
I'm so happy that Bruce and Jessica will be back anytime
to kinda help out.
I definitely missed 'em.
They deserved the vacation, they needed to get away,
and I kinda forced 'em to do it.
They wanted to stick around but it's gonna be nice
to have them back.
I think I got a new book in the mail.
I actually had a publisher reach out to us
and say they had a new book out and asked if they
wanted to check it out.
I can't even really remember what it was about,
to be honest with ya.
At the time I was like "oh my god that would be absolutely
awesome" so let me see if I can somehow get this open.
Put this knife down so I don't kill myself.
All right what to we have, again I
can't even remember what it was,
lets see, stillness is the key.
Oh what the heck is that, the obstacle is the way
and ego is the enemy.
So I don't know I guess I don't know anything about this.
The fact that it sounds pretty good.
And I do think that I need to learn how to stop my brain,
if you know what I mean.
So I'm gonna read this book and I will give you guys
a review here in about two years it'll take me.
So about two years from now I'll give you, no the truth
is hopefully I can read this in the next few days,
and oh let me see, there is a little card in here too.
Nope, just says stillness is the key, by Ryan Holiday.
So thank you for sending me the book and I'll
give you guys a review when I get done reading it.
Oh and there's a coin in here too.
You could leave life right now.
Oh that's a fantastic message so I guess
it probably ties in with the book where you
should like enjoy the moment because you
could potentially die anytime.
Wow, thanks, have a nice day.
I've been surprised to hear that a lot of people
thought that Ben and Jerry were really black
and yellow and the truth is they're more
of a brown and yellow with some red tone.
So I wanted to kinda show you guys the actual color
of the animal.
They are absolutely gorgeous snakes and I hope
that now you can see that it's not black and yellow.
It's actually a beautiful brown and yellow snake.
You know sometimes it takes a village to build a village.
(crickets chirping)
- What?
- I don't know - What?
(laughs)
- We need a village.
- We can't pass that up what is that?
(laughs)
- I needed help is what I was trying to say.
So we're gonna clean Butterscotch but what we're
gonna do is we're gonna have Eric and Noah
handling Butterscotch.
Lori's just here to hand me stuff, to make it, whatever.
This is what happens when Bruce and Jessica aren't here.
- All right let's do this.
- OK, this is you and Eric
- Oh god she's strong.
- Oh my gosh she weighs so much, oh my gosh.
- Hooked on something
- She is so strong, holy crap.
- You got that buddy, you want me to get the front half?
- No not really
- Ow my shin
- OK I'm gonna move you guys over there.
- Oh here we go, let's get over away from this tree.
Oh yeah baby.
- WHOH!
- Oh you're good.
Oh so one man python.
See if she wants a green bean, oh god.
Wow, this thing's heavy dude.
- It's very strong.
- Just gonna wear her out for a minute
- Whoh.
- She's getting tuckered out.
- Do the spin cycle.
- Spin her
- You spin her.
- Wait which ? The other way?
- You spin that way yeah.
- There we go. Oh she's got my legs.
- Oh my hand.
- Dude it's gonna make me poop my pants.
Okay there we go, oh there we go.
Oh there we go yeah just.
- Oh keep those green beans, keep those green beans.
- We got it.
- No we got it
- We don't got it, help.
Said help, my leg, cutting my circulation off bud.
- One sec, one sec
- OW
- One second I need a pillow
- Oh dude here, I mean where are you Noah.
- OH sorry sorry.
- Oh dude, dude, OK starting to lose some steam.
Now there we go, oh god.
I just had Jimmy John's for lunch,
too much food.
- About the first thing I eaten all day
- Too much food.
- All right lets neck
- Neck her. Neck her.
- No no you neck her.
- Me neck her?
(struggling)
- Oh geez, it's on the cameraman.
It's on the cameraman, help.
Ow, it's giving me a snake burn on my neck, Brian!
Brian!
- What are these guys doing there?
- Brian, hurry it's breaking my neck.
It's like a, oh wow
- Ten seconds man.
- I feel like it's like when you're on the laughing gas
at the dentist and it's just gone, fade out.
- And slowly fade away.
- All right, get it, get it, get her.
get it, get it, get her.
(laughs)
Oh I'm sorry, I'm sorry cameraman.
- This is awesome.
- Whoo hoo, yee yee yee

- Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

- Okay good.
- But then we'll switch and then I'll take a break.
- 'cause I just need a little snack, I was getting a little.
- Oh ya, it's very good.
- Getting a little hungry.
You got it? You got it?
Are you good?
- We're good dude.
- OK
- No we're good, no we're good.
You know we have holding tubs, did they ever think of that?
Okay I've got 5% left, 5%.
Dude this snake is so strong, help me out.
- OH, OH my god, oh my god. It just (bleep) on me.
- Brian it's gonna bite us.
- Trying to bite?
- Yeah
- It just had it's mouth on me.
Hell it's crazy.
- Don't kill me blood, please I'm
about to go salmon fishing.
Please god, help, send help.
Okay it's losing steam.
Nope, never mind, it was a trick.
- Call the fireman, dude it had it's mouth on me.
- Need a bachiotomy dude.
- Dude, you didn't go pull those green beans man.
- You know it man.
- Needs that energy.
- Oh my god I'm not even joking right now,
I mean this thing is really wearing me out.
- You got her stretched out, keep her stretched out.
Go over there, keep her stretched out.
- It's gonna bite me bud.
- Hey that's okay as long as it's not me.
- Yeah I know all of you.
- Imagine how bad a bite from her would hurt.
- Be a bad bite dude.
- It was this close, dude, it's mouth was on me.
- It was on me.
- Beautiful snake though.
- It is beautiful but dude, these things wear you out.
You gotta calm me.
Oh (beep) (beep) (beep).
- Just the musk
- Musk and
(laughing)
- Just the musk.
- So I don't know..
- That was not successful.
- Go ahead and rate us down in the comments
to see how you guys did.
- What year is it? I need a water.
- Rainbow boas are certainly some of the most iridescent
and beautiful animals.
Obviously they got their name rainbow because of that
unbelievable iridescent sheen that they have.
Again an animal that's very hard to pick up on film,
but out in this natural sunlight you can certainly
see how unbelievable iridescent the animal is and
why they are called rainbow boas.
When Salt was a little baby she had tons of pattern
and colors and whites and lavenders and oranges.
As they get older they start to lose it but still
a lot of people are surprised when they
come to the Reptarium that you can still see
all the pattern in her because everyone thinks she's
just solid pink maybe a little bit orangish.
But she has all those lavender hues and whites
that kinda come through so I wanted to kinda show
off this beautiful pattern.
Of course as she gets bigger the pattern will fade
even more, but nevertheless she is a gorgeous
gorgeous animal.
- We had such a great time when we went down to Orlando
Florida guys, like oh my gosh.
Probably the best vacation I ever had, what about you?
- Oh yeah, definitely the best vacation we've ever had,
at least together.
- Yeah, oh man. - Yeah oh my god.
- For sure, definitely the best one together.
- We've had some bad ones
But this was amazing it's nice to be back though.
- Definitely, definitely get back on the daily grind.
But for sure I've got a lotta work we got
to get started on.
- I had a ton of amazing experiences on vacation.
My favorite was definitely getting to hang out
with Savannah and Robbie.
Just getting to see them in their elements, both of them
took us around their places, and showed us like
all kinds of stuff, and were very nice to us.
And I got to play with lemurs.
As far as animal experiences go it was my favorite.
They are so cool.
- I honestly couldn't pick a specific time that really
made this trip special.
It was the overall experience, and the people,
Savannah was just an absolute peach.
She made us feel like we were rock stars
walking in the gate.
Like who are we, that just blew my mind.
Robbie was more than accommodating, I'm pretty sure
he would have sat there and talked to us for three
or four more hours if we got the chance to.
Like, we had to get going, and I know he had to get ready
for the hurricane coming up, so we definitely had to start
getting out butts together and it was such a great time.
- Super glad that Jessica and Bruce had a great time
on their vacation.
But I'm gonna be honest with you, I couldn't be
more happy that they're back, trust me, they were missed.
I tell you what guys, handling big snakes can
certainly be a challenge.
But also absolutely amazing.
If you guys wanna see me wrangling Lucy over here
giving me a hard time that's a video.
Here's an entire playlist of big snakes that
are fun to handle.
Over here, you can subscribe, please turn those post
notifications on.
Have a wonderful day, be kind to someone, and I promise
I'll see you guys tomorrow.
