- This happens to be a Super Lori Leopard Ball Python
And certainly it was one of the highlights
of my production last year, right?
We ended up hatching up three Super Lori Leopards
from one clutch of twelve eggs.
And what this is, is it's actually the Super version
of the Lori Ball Python and then the incomplete
dominant Leopard Ball Python combined, right?
So it's pretty amazing.
They hatch out blue and silver
and even at a year old,
although they've changed a little bit of the color,
they're still absolutely spectacular.
I mean, look at how amazing that is.
Well, guess what, today we're about to find out
if we're going to produce more.
And this happens to be the mom,
which is actually a Lori Leopard Ball Python.
So again, the Lori and the Leopard
are incomplete dominant animals,
and you can see the Leopard
just makes a different pattern to this.
As far as a normal Lori Ball Python.
Now the Lori Ball Python is definitely lacking.
Some of that yellow pigment almost looks axanthicy, really,
but it's not an actual axanthic.
And it does brown out a little bit
when it gets a little bit older.
There's no doubt you can tell that
that blue and silver has changed
even the Super Lori Leopard.
Now, again, when you're getting
into incomplete dominant animals,
you have a one in four shot to produce a Super version,
which would be of course, a Super Lori.
Now with the Leopard, it's a 50% odds
of actually producing a Leopard Ball Python, right?
So when you combine the two with the Super Lori,
and then potentially the Leopard,
you're basically looking on average
about one in six eggs, right?
Now, you've got to remember that's on average,
so you can have a thousand eggs
and produce one Super Lori Leopard,
or you could have four eggs
and produce all four Super Lori Leopards.
On average, over the course of millions of eggs,
you would get about a 1/6 odds.
So we have 11 eggs right now from this mama this year.
Let's go ahead and cut them and see if we get lucky
and produce some Super Lori Leopards.
So definitely one of the most anticipated clutches
of the year for me,
because obviously the Super Lori Leopard Ball Pythons
are always such a giant hit.
And like I'd mentioned before, there's a 1/6 odds.
We have 11 eggs.
So theoretically, if we get lucky,
we'll get two Super Lori Leopards.
Keeping in mind last year, we got three.
So who knows what's going to happen? 11 eggs.
Let's jump in, say a little prayer to the odds gods.
And let's nail this one first.
First egg!
Let's just get a Super Lori Leopard right of the rip,
just so I can stop being nervous
because I'll tell you what, I am nervous right now.
There's no doubt about it.
And - whoa wait a second. What do we got?
I can't see yet. I can't see yet.
We definitely have a Super Lori!
And it looks like a Super Lori Leopard
right off the rip guys.
First egg, we nailed it! That's right.
Super Lori Leopard on the very first egg! Oh my gosh.
That is so good, guys! We still have 10 eggs to go.
You know, I'm going to start saying, can we get three now?
Can we get three now?
But the truth is I'm Super happy that we just even got one,
because there's always a chance
that you might not get any, right?
For the 1/6 odds.
You never really know what's going to happen.
So let's go ahead. Jump into egg number two,
and hope the odds gods are in our favor.
Oh my goodness. Two would be nice, but one is amazing.
Don't get me wrong. One is amazing.
Okay, so it looks like
we have a little Lori Leopard Ball Python, which is great.
I mean the building blocks, right?
The mom is a Lori Leopard Ball Python, so that's important.
So let's just keep on going.
Now keep in mind we can get Super Loris
without Leopards too, which would really cool too.
And that's only a 1/4 shot
to get a Super Lori, but no, let's not do that.
Let's just go ahead and get another Super Lori Leopard,
you know what I'm saying?
Holy moly! There is something - oh my gosh!
Super Lori Leopard number two!
So we've got two and we still have eight eggs to go people!
This is absolutely amazing. Oh my gosh.
You know, sometimes you really want the odds to hit.
You always want the odds to hit,
but there's certain clutches.
You're like, please let the odds set,
So we have two so far, eight eggs to go.
So this egg is a little bit wonky.
It has a little bit of a wet spot, but I'm not worried.
Cause these guys are ready to hatch.
So it should be completely fine.
It looks like we have a nice little Lori Ball Python.
No Lori Leopard.
so far we have a Lori, a Lori Leopard
and two Super Lori Leopards.
Wow, All right, let's keep going.
We gotta get at least one more Super Lori Leopard.
I know I'm being greedy guys. I'm sorry.
I can't stop it. I can't stop it.
Okay, we got another what looks to be a Lori Leopard,
which is good.
Again, Lori Leopards are great.
Again, not only for producing Super Lori Leopards,
but bringing them into other things
to get other Lori projects as well.
So we've got lots in the docket, trust me.
Let's keep moving on to the next egg.
Again, we haven't produced a Super Lori yet,
Only the Leopard...
What do we got here? What do we got here?
Oh, another Lori Leopard.
So we're doing really good on the Lori Leopard front.
I gotta be honest with you
and I'm not complaining about that at all
because that's a super cool combination as well.
We still have five eggs to go.
I tell you what guys, I am stoked.
I'm so glad we got those Super Lori Leopards out
in the beginning
so I can take that kind of anxiety away.
Another Lori Leopard.
Wow, we're really crushing on Lori Leopard,
'Cause again, if I was on the back end
and I only had three eggs left to cut
and I had no Super Lori Leopards, I'd be freaking out.
But we still have four eggs to go.
So come on, just one more Super Lori Leopard...
And if I get one more Super Lori Leopard
I'm going to say: "Okay, one more after that."
And the truth is I'm happy with whatever I get.
I'm just feeling really lucky.
This looks like just a normal Ball Python.
So the first normal that we produce out of the clutch,
we've got three eggs to go.
We're going to get lucky.
Come on, one more! Come on!
Okay, here we go. One more, please.
Come on. You can do it.
You can do it. You can do it.
Oh, Nope. Nope. Nope.
It looks like another Lori. Possibly a Lori Leopard.
Probably. Yep.
It looks like a Lori Leopard there.
Definitely a Lori Leopard.
Getting out to our last couple of eggs guys,
but we did good so far, but we've got two eggs to go.
Oh my gosh.
I would love to just end with one more Super Lori Leopard.
Oh Nope. We got another Lori Leopard, though.
We're doing really good on the Lori Leopard front
and again, they're cool building blocks.
I mean, it's great to have the genetic - one last egg.
Let's end this with a Super Lori Leopard, please.
I mean, would that be an amazing, I'd be over the moon.
I'm over the moon either way, but this would be amazing.
Let's do it. Come on.
Super Lori Leopard. Come on.
Super Lori Leopard.
Nope. Another Lori Ball Python.
Ha, yep, just a Lori Ball Python.
But hey listen, we had two Super Lori Leopards
in the first like, three eggs.
So we did really good.
So you can't wait till these little crawl out of the egg.
That's absolutely amazing and uh, hey.
What a way to start the day.
- An albino lavender snow to a male lavender snow.
So we've got quite a mix in here.
These guys are so cool because there's such a variance.
So that lavender snow go all the way from lighter,
like almost a pinkish color to a deeper, darker lavender.
And it looks like we've got a pretty good variance
in this litter here to -
we've got patternless
Some that have patterned more purple and more pink.
So this is really cool. I am really happy with this.
Just love these. And one of the cool things too is,
so some of these are going to be snows,
but some are going to be like those ruby-eye lavenders,
which actually right here...
I can already tell they've got that deep dark eye on them.
And they're just beautiful. One of my favorites.
That deep dark lavender is definitely a favorite of mine.
And when you put that ruby eye in it,
there's something pretty special, I think.
So this is a really good clutch.
- Of course salt here is getting absolutely enormous.
And that's one of our biggest issues, right?
I've been working on her
about going onto the ground and she's doing pretty well.
I can set her on the ground and she might walk for a minute
and then she just kind of settles down.
Now the good news is
is that I can pet her like this, no problem.
You can touch her tail, she has no problem.
Touch her feet, do whatever you want to do.
And this is the thing I'm trying to train her to the point
where she can go like this,
because obviously she's getting to the point
where she's getting harder to hold for littler kids, right?
But at the same time, we have to keep it really docile
so that there's no way they'll ever bite.
So the idea is to continue to desensitize her mouth,
but you can see what will happen as soon as I do this,
that's what we don't want to have happen, right?
We certainly don't want her to be biting at somebody,
but you can see after that first time,
I'm a little bit better off.
And I have to just kind of continue to desensitize those
ISO's because as soon as you touch them,
alligators are kind of set up to the point
where they actually will bite as soon as they feel
any kind of pressure on those ISOs.
Of course, in the wild, if a fish or a bird comes by,
they got snapped immediately, right?
So we have to just keep working on her
and she's getting a little bit better.
You can see, I can kind of touch her a little bit.
This was always about more and more desensitization.
You see her mouth is open,
but she's not snapping as much now. Right?
So I have to get it to a point where it's Bulletproof,
where there's no way she'll ever snap at anyone.
Now don't get me wrong.
I'm not going to ever put salt on the ground
and let anyone touch her face.
But accidents do happen, right?
If she's on the ground, she's six foot long
and maybe someone comes by and I just went, oh my god!
Quick! Right?
So we have to get it to a point where she doesn't do this.
And the only thing we could do is just continue to touch
and touch and touch and desensitize.
And we will probably reach out to my buddy,
Chris Gillette and get some kind of tips
because he's so good at training Crocodilians
because I want her to be fine.
You can see, you can pretty much touch her anywhere.
I could touch her here. I can touch her here.
And she's fine.
But it's only when I touch those ISOs on her face
that she gets a little wonky.
But other than that, like I said,
you can come back here and you can pet her all day long.
So as long as you're in the back, no problem at all,
she's completely fine. Right?
So this is just a work in progress that I have to do.
Because again, although right now
I can pick her up and she's absolutely a puppy dog.
And it's really great hold,
when she's a hundred pounds like RJ,
that's not going to happen, right?
So working, working, working,
Hopefully we can get her Super tame,
even with that mouth area
so she doesn't have that reaction bite, right?
So this is a continued work in progress.
We're actually going to take our snow,
snow red eared, slider, Voldemort,
and bring him over to the reptarium,
him and Chopsticks used to live together
over at BHB while we were raising them up.
And then Chops just got a little too big for that cage,
brought them over here
so everybody could see him enjoying just like we do.
So today we're going to clean up this cage,
make it look a little nicer
and then bring him over and they can be friends again.
Let's do it.
(relaxing ambient music)
Alright, so now get got Voldemort over here,
let's go to the other side and see what he looks like.
And look at him, guys.
He just dove right into the water, checking things out.
I don't where Chops is - oh, so chopsticks is right there.
so Chopsticks is still just a little bit bigger than he is.
So hopefully we'll keep an eye on him
and hopefully all goes well and we won't have any problems.
And now you guys can see Voldemort at the reptarium.
- I got Bowser here. He's certainly is pretty darn amazing.
There's no doubt about that.
And we talked about this enclosure so many times,
doing something different.
We talked about maybe putting the fly rivers in it.
But now to be honest with you,
I think I'm going to put the fly rivers probably upstairs
when we do the aquarium, but I'm not sure.
The point is that this was a centerpiece
when people walk in,
but you got to remember
people aren't gonna be walking in the same spot.
So what I'm thinking about doing
is maybe if this pond is lit differently,
it'll actually make Bowser pop a little bit more, right?
So a project I'm gonna work on in next couple of weeks
is somehow how to get light down in here
that can light this whole thing up
so people can actually see Bowser
and then we'll give it a go.
And hopefully that is it.
I gotta find something else to put in here,
but I just don't know what it is
because he kills all the fish except for Jonah, of course.
And I'm afraid to put common snapping turtles,
which will live with an alligator snapping turtle.
But what if he kills them? I don't want to do that.
So I'm a little bit stuck here.
So I think the next project I'm going to do here
in the next week or two, is going to actually do something
that just completely lights this pond up,
Super excited. I got my buddy, Jason,
I've known him for many years in the house.
His son Cana. Cana what's going on?
You brought us a gift, didn't you?
- I don't know what these are. They look like giant muffins.
So Jason has an amazing restaurant, a couple restaurants,
playground, playground 2.0,
I'll put a link in the description.
In Anaheim area?
- Yes and we've got a bagel shop now, too.
- [Brian] You've got a bagel shop, too?
- Yeah, it's called Dough Exchange.
I realized in the pandemic
that bagels are my favorite food.
- [Brian] Really?
- A hundred percent. No, no, no question.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh.
What's the best thing you put on a bagel?
- Lox. I gotta be honest, like,
I grew up in this like - "Bagels on Saturday morning"
at like Jewish friend's house,
like salmon, lox, tomato, red onion and like,
that's about it, you know?
And like when we opened the bagel shop,
everyone's coming in like:
"Hey, so I want eggs and cheese on mine."
I'm like; "No, no, no, no. Don't do that."
And then I cracked after like a week and a half.
- [Brian] I saw some Instagram.
- We put a sandwich - Well I gave in. I gave in.
- [Brian] I saw it. They looked good.
- And everyone freaks out about it,
so now we make egg sandwiches,
even though I only lox with it.
We try really hard. We try really hard great food.
- You've been on food network, you've been on MTV,
I mean, this guy is he's the Simon Cowell of food.
But anyway, so let's try this.
What did you bring me? What is it?
- Panettone.
- [Brian] What - I didn't even know
there was a word for that.
- So basically in January
I tried Panettone for the very first time, I tasted one.
And ever since then, you know, I kind of have this rule
that if I taste something that's really delicious,
I have to figure out how to make it.
Now Panettone has this reputation
for being the Mount Everest of baking challenge.
- [Brian] Really?
- So it's a 48 hour experience to make it.
And it takes -
it requires a completely different sourdough starter.
So people who at home go "Oh, I make sourdough bread."
"I use a liquid starter."
It's not that. This is like a...
It's called a 50% starter. A pasta madre.
- [Brian] Ooh! - Beautiful!
Beautiful clusters of the chocolate and caramel
and peanut butter inside.
- That's crazy!
- [Jason] And pearl sugar.
- [Brian] And pearl sugar. What is pearl sugar?
- It's from Belgium.
- [Brian] Ah. What do you think, Laura?
- Mmhm!
- [Jason} Is it good?
- Oh, she's already breaking the cherry, man!
- Oh! Mmm!
Wow! You can have some too! Have some!
This this doesn't even eat like bread, right?
It's more like a dessert. This is amazing.
- I never even tasted any bread like this.
- To get to the point where we could, you know,
know we were going to make a batch.
It was going to be successful, it took about five months.
- Oh my gosh.
- It's so good!
- Hope you enjoyed today's video!
