drink's this
(duck quack)
And good morning everybody,
welcome to the vlog.
We're in the dungeon with Kelsey,
of course after that horrible coffee experience
I needed something to lift my spirits,
if you know what I mean.
The truth is,
I actually don't mind coffee that much
but it puts me to sleep so I can't really drink it
anyways,
we've got Ball Python clutches,
what do we have?
- Yes, first up we have a Pinstripe
bred to a Banana Super Enchi pen.
- Awesome, cool, I love it.
That means everything's going to be Enchi,
lots of Pinstripe stuff.
Ooh, look at this.
Looks like she just came off her eggs a little bit.
But mama looks really good.
Mama don't bite, it's okay girl.
Look at that, that's a nice beautiful clutch.
It's okay mama, you're all right.
- [Kelsey] A little slugger in there.
- [Brian] Oh there is a little slugger in there?
Unbelievable. Looked like the perfect clutch
but hey I'm not gonna cry over one slugger
with a beautiful clutch of eggs,
if you know what I mean.
Get that in there.
The eggs are just a little bit
dimpled and desiccated,
meaning that they just need to have
a little bit moisture,
but hey they'll be fine.
They'll pop out in no time.
But nice beautiful little eggs.
Looks like a bunch,
how many do we have?
- [Kelsey] One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine
and there's a tenth one in there.
- Ooh hoo hoo, ten.
I love when we get the double digits
when it comes to Ball Pythons,
so that's awesome.
We have a couple more clutches right?
- Yes we do.
- All right, good, we'll I'm gonna go ahead
and let Kelsey get things set up real quick.
Let her get onto her work.
We'll come back later,
we'll grab the last two clutches
and it's gonna be amazing day,
so lets have a great day together.
A lot of people that mention that they
really wanna see baby snakes hatching
and I've been showing every clutch that hatches
so I wanna go ahead and jump right into it.
Colubrid clutches are startin' to come out.
This is actually the first Diffused Corn
or what they use to call Blood Red Corns
because obviously these guys have
a little bit more red pigment on 'em.
And then as they grow older,
they turn basically red as a Corn snake
so they lose all those cells.
And you can see the sides
that are kinda really pattern-less,
that's really indicative of
a really good Diffused Corn.
This particular one is, hoo hoo doggy,
that thing is one of the nicest one's you'll see,
look at that side.
That's actually what they would call
a Pied Sided Blood Red or Diffused Corn
because that side pattern is really really reduced
and actually white blotches
are gonna end up coming in.
The other thing you'll see with Diffused Corns
or Blood Reds is that the actually head pattern
is a little bit different.
Looks like we still have
a handful of eggs in this clutch left to hatch,
but we have a whole bunch of babies out here
which is pretty awesome.
Absolutely love the fact that we're
producing a ton of Corn snakes this year.
Now lets see if we have any more babies.
Okay, that's typical, I kind of realize
that usually when I looked at the clutches,
when they're laid,
and there was only a couple clutches laid that day.
Tomorrow all these are gonna start to come out,
you can start to see that they're popping out.
This is pretty cool
because this is actually a Blood Red
or Diffused Corn that's het for scale
is bred to a Plasma that's het for scale
so Plasma is actually a Blood Red
or Diffused Corn Lavender.
It could be some of the Lavender Diffused stuff
which is the Plasmas, could be scale-less,
could be a whole host of other things so,
pretty excited.
Hopefully tomorrow we'll take a look at that clutch.
So it looks like that's it
for baby Colubrids today
but again, I'm gonna continue to show you guys
babies every single day if they hatch.
I tell you what,
Toothless is certainly one of the coolest animals
I think we have here at The Reptarium,
he is just such an amazing animal.
And I've been kinda working a lot
on getting him just really confident
and consistent.
You guys remember I use to put him on the
tortoise ledge to just let him walk around
and explore a little bit.
Much like I'd let Elvis explore.
Well I've been slowly letting him
crawl around on the floor
so that as he gets bigger again,
he gains that confidence,
isn't afraid of anything.
That way he can walk around just like Elvis
and even better than Elvis as a matter of fact.
And the reason I think he's gonna
even be more habituated to Elvis is,
believe it or not,
this guy literally had my name written on the egg
for my buddy Kevin over at Nerd.
I mean he literally had BHB on the egg so,
as Toothless hatched out,
Kevin literally like imprinted immediately on it,
I mean, took it right out of the egg,
played with it immediately.
Kinda like that scene from Jurassic Park
(dinosaur screeches)
when the dinosaurs hatch out
and the guy's right there.
Again, to imprint on these animals
that humans are okay.
Literally, that's what happened with Toothless.
So, again, spending a lot of time with this guy
because he's gonna be such amazing animal at best for us,
for hopefully the next 30 years or so.
So lets just give him some down time,
we'll chase him around
and I'll let him have some freedom.
(lofi music)
And as you can see,
Toothless just has no fear what so ever.
He's just brimming with confidence
'cause he doesn't understand fear.
And even when he's out like this
I can go up and just pet him
and he doesn't seem to matter at all,
he doesn't run away, he's just super curious,
just walking around.
That's what makes him even better than Elvis.
Because Elvis still is a little bit frightened
every now and then,
a little tentative, mainly good
but Toothless is next level.
(lofi music)
Back in the dungeon
and this is a clutch that
I was not only concerned about,
but extremely excited about,
what do we have?
- We have a Pastel Crystal female bred to
a Pastel Crystal male.
- Which is just crazy because
we could get, you know, Super Specials,
we could get Pastel Super Specials,
we can get Blue Eyed Leucistic,
get all kinds of crazy stuff.
So I thought this girl was gonna lay slugs
and it looks like she a good clutch eggs
but until we pull her off,
we really don't know.
I see some good eggs!
- [Kelsey] Whooee.
- [Brian] Oh yeah, oh my gosh,
not even one slug it looks like huh?
- [Kelsey] There's one slug in there.
- [Brian] Oh is there a slug in there again?
(chuckles) Come on mama, what are you thinkin'?
All right, there we go, let's see what we got.
So I was super excited about this,
oh there is a little slugger in there!
But I didn't think she was gonna lay any good eggs.
So I am just really excited that she did
and sometimes you just have that intuition
where an animal just doesn't look real full,
it's laying kinda weird
and you just think
"Ah it's probably gonna be slugs, what a bummer."
So I was wrong, I admit it, I was wrong.
Definitely some good eggs again,
just one little slugger in there
which I will absolutely take.
I love the rest of the clutch for sure.
So we'll let Kelsey
get that slugger out real quick.
And how many eggs did we end up with?
- [Kelsey] One, two, three, four, five, six!
- [Brian] Six, oh my gosh, that is so awesome.
And then you gotta remember that
that Super Special is a Super version of
the co Diamond.
And so basically Special is the lilac with mojave,
that's what produces the crystals.
So if you provide a Super Special
and say breed it to a Super Mojave,
you'll get 100% crystals
or whatever mutations you breed into there.
So I hope we'll hit some Super Special stuff
as well as some other
awesome animals in that clutch.
Couldn't be happier, one more clutch.
And the last Ball Python clutch of the day is
- [Kelsey] A Chocolate bred to a
Banana Extreme Spider.
- Oh my gosh, that's a good one.
I love that Banana Chocolate stuff,
extreme spider stuff, bananas,
that's gonna be absolutely awesome.
Let's see what we have.
And this girl is a really cool girl too
'cause she's got that kinda
Harlequin striping to her,
just looks really awesome.
And what a gorgeous clutch.
Look at that Kelsey, no slugs in this one.
- [Kelsey] No slugs.
(Brian laughs)
- [Brian] One slug in each clutch.
The first two weren't that bad though.
But I absolutely love it.
I tell you what,
we still have a bunch of
Ball Python clutches to hatch
but we're definitely in the last,
you know, 20, 25% of the year.
I'm gonna miss this so much,
I mean it's so exciting,
but again, you gotta remember,
now we're hatching Ball Pythons
which is really cool.
How many eggs do we have?
- [Kelsey] One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine.
- Nine eggs, I mean, what an amazing day,
I mean it's absolutely incredible
and I am working hopefully maybe later this week
or by latest, next week,
we're gonna have the egg hatching cam.
At the reptile live cam's YouTube page.
So you can actually watch these animals hatch
over the next three to four months,
something on that lines
but there it is,
done with Ball Python eggs.
Kelsey, you're killing it, good job.
- Thank you.
- You know, the one bit of advice I have
is as you get older you gotta stay, you know,
as fit as you possibly can,
I've gotta work on that a little bit more,
but you know, staying active is important.
I was kinda thinking to myself,
"what can I do with the BHB team
that would be kind of, you know,
physical and stuff like that."
So I thought,
maybe we start like a flag football team
or something like that?
I don't know,
you know Eric and Noah are always doing stuff,
maybe they'd be good at it,
so, I'm gonna go see if they wanna join
and see if we can give it a shot.
So guy, I got this idea
I think that - Oh god.
I wanted to come to you guys.
You know,
I know Noah you're off to Hawaii soon so
- That's true, I think it's a couple weeks.
- Man, ooh.
- [Brian] You know, Eric, you've been talkin' about
like gettin' in shape a little bit.
- Dude.
- [Brian] What do you guy's think about
flag football?
Like us doing a team together?
- Like tag or flag?
- [Brian] Flag football.
- Okay.
- [Brian] So, but I mean,
you guys ever play football?
- Yeah of course.
- [Brian] I mean you did when you were young.
- When I was young, I played my whole life man.
- [Brian] Yeah? All right so,
I hope you guys don't mind
but I don't wanna get embarrassed,
so can we try out a little bit?
- Oh for sure, you're gonna see
this skill, - Try out,
listen, I hope you're lying to - Okay. Like we'll just
- go out back and I'll throw you some balls,
you guys can throw,
we'll see what we do. Sound cool?
- By receiver I'm starting okay
You know some people they call me Megatron 2.0
- Dang bro, I was always the water boy,
my whole life.
- [Brian] Well then you might be a pro.
- Momomomomomosa
(laughing)
All right.
- [Brian] Let's go try, let's go try.
- You know, Noah thinks he's so good at football,
what he doesn't realize,
messing with the champion okay,
38th out of 40 kids,
I was the top dog.
38th but still, listen Tater tot,
he was about 98, you're boy Eric,
I remember it till this day.
I was, it was awesome, you shoulda seen it man.
(drums)
(intense drums)
(crowd boos)
(lofi music)
- Yeah I think,
I don't think the flag football thing's gonna work out
so, I don't know, I'll try something different.
Some baby's hatched out today
and I'm really excited about
and you're gonna look at 'em
and say, like,
"Oh Brian you've already showed me a bunch
of Children's Pythons in the past."
But these are not Children's Pythons.
These are the next wave,
which are Stimson's Pythons.
And I tell you what,
out of all of the entrees here, which are
the Children's, Spotted, Anthills and Stimson.
Stimson's are my absolute favorite
and I am so excited to have not one,
but two clutches of Stimson's Pythons
that are hatched out right now.
Here's the first one's right here.
And this is the second clutch right here,
of these guys, which look absolutely incredible,
I mean take a look at these guys.
So I won't say (mumbles)
Oh my god, they're gonna be amazing.
And as they get older,
I'll show you guys the difference between
Children's, Spotted and Stimson's Pythons.
I'm over the moon happy that we hatched these guys.
A little species spotlight with
the Prehensile-tailed Skink or
the Solomon Island Skink.
Now these guys are called
Prehensile-tailed Skink obviously
because of this incredible prehensile-tail
that actually acts as a fifth leg.
These guys are from the Solomon Islands
and unfortunately because of deforestation,
a little bit in the pet trade
and even reduction of food from
the local people eat,
these guys are really dwindling in population.
Several years back they were put on
the appendix to endangered species list
and weren't exported out of the Solomon Islands
for quite some time.
Now they're suppose to only come out
in small numbers
and they're suppose to only be captive farmed.
Now whether or not that's happening,
I'm not 100% sure.
But these guys are very interesting
for the fact that they typically
only have one baby,
sometimes they'll have twins
but they're born very big
and they'll gestate six to nine months
which is a really long time
for a reptile to gestate.
More interesting is that
they're actually in family packs.
These guys will literally be
several different specimens in a hierarchy group
where they basically ward off
other Solomon Island Skinks coming in.
Now the babies typically stay for anywhere
from nine to twelve months in that social group
now that time, not just the mum and dad
but all the other animals in the social group
will actually defend that baby.
Usually about a year, it moves on
and it starts its own
little social group as well,
really cool animals.
The Corucia is latin for shimmering
and Zebrata latin for zebra.
There's actually two different species of these guys,
there's the northern which is
Corucia Zebrata Alfredschmidti
where as the southern version,
that's this species here,
is actually Corucia Zebrata Zebrata.
Never the less, one of the coolest species.
Vegetarians, so all these guys eat
are fruits and vegetable,
they love Pathos.
I sure hope one day we're gonna have some
baby Solomon Island Skinks.
Ohh, oh geesh, look at this, oh my god.
- [Woman] This thing is absolutely gorgeous.
- [Brian] That thing is crazy cool.
- [Woman] Yeah a lot of snakes,
they're gettin' better now
but you know a lot of snakes look so fake-y.
- Oh my gosh that is amazing.
Thank you so much, this is crazy cool.
And look at this giraffe, look how cute it is.
It's neck straightens up a little bit.
You can straighten it out, - Yeah you can play with it.
you bend, on my god.
Now the rest of the day,
all I'm gonna do is play with little stuffed animals
and little things.
Look at how awesome that is,
thank you seriously, that is amazing.
Gonna end the vlog here,
wish you guys an amazing day.
I hope you enjoyed the vlog today.
Comment somethin' amazing
'cause I still love
readin' about your beautiful face.
Be kind to someone
and I promise I'm gonna see you guys tomorrow.
