- Guys check this out.
This is absolutely, insanely cool.
We have our frilled dragon here, name Nova
but you know what,
I'm about to change his name
to Cassa-Nova
because Lilith, his girlfriend, laid eggs?
But the thing that really sucks is that
this is her lay box right here.
And it's nice moist moss in there
where she should be laying her eggs.
And by the way, it's way off season.
She should be laying eggs in the summer time
not in the winter time
but she layed a bunch of eggs over here.
The downside is, is the eggs looks like they're dehydrated
because of course she didn't lay 'em in moist box.
So I'm kind of bummed.
Is there a chance we could save them?
Yes, but we're gonna have to set up a nest box really quick.
And this is actually HatchRite.
I often time will incubate in a shoebox
but because they're dehydrated,
I wanna have a smaller enclosure
that I can have closed off
with a higher humidity to hopefully bring 'em out.
So let's go ahead and collect these eggs really quick.
So it looks like we have one and again,
they are definitely what we would call
desiccated or dehydrated.
Now this one actually looks
like it might be okay right here
but I'm gonna go ahead and just set these all down
in this right here and hope for the best.
I do have one other secret.
Now, this one right here.
Ooh, that doesn't have much hope.
I'm not gonna lie to you.
If she would've laid in the nest box
we would have beautiful eggs.
And there are five amazing eggs here.
Definitely. Pearly white.
Definitely. Pearl.
The good news is,
is that once she laid her first clutch
they usually go into a cycle of three clutches.
So, in about six to eight weeks,
hopefully she'll lay another clutch
and we're just gonna have to pay a lot closer attention
to what is going on in this enclosure.
So the, other trick is actually
to put a little damp sphagnum on it.
So this is actually sphagnum Moss here.
And so what I'm gonna do
is just gonna dampen this up a little bit.
Now you don't want it too wet.
Because if it's too wet,
the eggs will actually get wet.
And that's something you don't wanna have happen
but I'm gonna ring out all the water I possibly can.
Just get this nice and damp like that.
And what I'm gonna do is put a layer of the sphagnum
right on top of these eggs right here.
And because I'm using a smaller cup, again,
that humidity is gonna be a hundred percent in here
with that sphagnum moss.
And that HatchRite, that has a water isomer in it.
Now with any luck,
in the next week or so,
these eggs will actually pop out,
and actually survive.
My guess is, is that four out of five
of 'em could potentially come back.
The one is pretty bad.
I'm not gonna lie.
These guys will generally take about 90 days to hatch.
But, the next week is what's important.
So if my guy Nova or Cassa-Nova is a daddy again
this time let's hope we had some babies.
- Well, Brian missed an egg.
It looks like a good one.
It does grab it, go grab it, grab it.
Yeah. Still dehydrated.
So, uh, now I gotta go find the eggs.
Let me, uh, just double check the egg box.
Nothing in there.
So, Hey Brian, we got another one.
- Got another egg.
I missed one.
- It looks good.
- This one looks actually pretty good right in there.
Yeah. This one looks like I'm making so all right.
Make that five outta six potential.
One definitely a little desiccated.
- Baby crested geckos.
They're from this group here.
I don't know which one's the mom.
We've got two females in here and a male.
You got Columbia, Riff Raff and Magenta.
We're gonna get these guys set up today.
And these guys, we set up a little different
than gargoyle geckos.
So these are the only animals
pretty much that will set up together, right away.
I didn't used to do that, but I was talking to a lot
of other crested gecko breeders,
and they seem to have better luck
with them eating and everything.
If you set them up with another one
makes them feel like they have to compete for food.
So it'll make them eat a little bit more.
I've noticed that, yeah,
they do tend to like grow a bit faster
if you set them up initially,
maybe a month two months together
Add a little moss cup in here
just to keep humidity up a little bit.
We're setting 'em up on paper towel.
I've got some little hi- little place for 'em to hide.
Since we got two of them in here
we don't want 'em to nip each other or anything.
Got two little food cups,
I'm gonna fill up here and a water cup.
And this is Pangaea (inaudible)
(music)
So we'll keep them together for about a month.
And then I'll separate them and be on their own.
- Lori wants you.
- Oh, crap.
- It's never a good thing to hear, huh?
- Not at 9:45 in the morning.
- Come on, come on, come on, come on,
up, up, up, up, up, up, up
Here you go, buddy.
There you go.
Of course.
This is Billy the Frilly.
Now there's two different types of frilled dragons.
There's actually the Indonesian New Guinea ones,
like Nova and Lilith.
And then there's actually Billy the Frilly,
which comes from Australia.
(laughs)
He is absolutely amazing.
And the a Australian frillies are much more rare.
Obviously we only have one of these guys,
but Billy the Frilly is absolutely amazing.
And a lot of people think that bearded dragons
are actually the same to animal as frilled dragon.
They can come from the same area.
Obviously bearded dragons are from Australia
and so are frilled dragons.
But again, most of the ones are from Indonesia
and New Guinea from this country.
But the fact is, is they're actually very different animals.
And Betty White is definitely pretty hungry today.
Come on, bud.
There you go.
One more. What a little, super monster she is.
- Mike.
- Yes.
- I got something I need to take care of.
There's something outside the front door
that I need you to clean up for me.
- I keep that glove on too.
- Yeah, definitely.
- Keep the glove on.
- What's outside the front door.
- Uh, it's right outside the front door in the planter.
You can't miss it.
- Uh, that, that door?
- Yeah, You got this.
- Oh no.
(door squeaks)
- This is actually Nova and Lilith's baby
from a couple years ago.
That is getting big.
And they're really amazing.
Of course, these are arboreal,
Unlike the beard of dragons.
Which basically just means they like to be up in the trees.
You could see he's hanging on to me.
Like I'm a tree branch, right?
And they have these frills right here
which is their defense mechanism,
which is pretty cool.
The fact is they actually hardly ever frill up
because they trust us and they're not afraid of us.
So Chicken Nugget only frills up
when he sees Elvis, the monitor lizard.
I'll show you that in a minute.
It is pretty cool.
These guys also need a higher humidity than bearded dragon.
So they're not kind of like a desert dwelling
kind of Savannah dwelling animal.
They're actually more of a rainforest animal.
So they definitely need a higher humidity.
But when this guy frills up, it's pretty cool.
And I'll show you that here in a minute.
Whereas bearded dragons are actually
what they call omnivores.
Which means that they eat fruits
and vegetables and they eat some bugs.
So they're not exclusively bug eaters.
Although they do like their bugs.
There's no doubt about it.
Right, Flaming Hot?
And you can see Elvis is coming down right now.
Watch what happens with this guy
when he gets close to Elvis.
See? Immediate threat display.
That is what a frilled dragon actually does right here.
When he sees something like a monitor lizard
cuz in the wild, you gotta remember,
In Indonesia, a monitor lizard like this
is going to potentially eat
something like Chicken Nugget here.
And that's what happens.
That's the threat display.
That's absolutely incredible, isn't it?
I mean how cool?
Again now he feels a little bit comfortable
as he gets closer to Elvis again.
Bam! Threat display comes back up, right?
His mouth is open now frills coming up.
Makes him look bigger.
That is an absolutely amazing thing to see.
There's no doubt about that.

- I think it's clean, cleaner than it was.
That's a stretch.
- So with any luck Nova will be a daddy again.
It's been a little while
since we've hatched out baby frillies
And like I said,
this is completely off season.
They typically lay their eggs in June, July.
Why they're laying them in the middle of the winter,
I have no idea,
but I absolutely think it's amazing.
And hey, I wish I would've caught those eggs earlier
or she would've laid 'em in the nest box.
Like she should have, but we're gonna keep a closer eye
on her in about five or six weeks,
when she could potentially lay again.
And we'll let you know how those eggs go.
Because like I said, it's about a 50/50 chance.
I think about five of those eggs.
What are you doing buddy?
About five of those eggs are actually possible to hatch.
One definitely looks bad, but they could all go bad.
I don't know what's gonna happen,
but Nova, you are such a silly monkey.
I love you, little buddy.
So with any luck, we'll have some little baby frillies here
in just a few months.
- Wasn't it out in the planter.
- Yeah. You want it? - No, no.
- You sure? - No.
- For Christmas?
- I'm sure.
Why would you throw that in the planter anyways?
- Want me throw it in this trash?
- We're always trying to find really interesting places
that are near the zoo
so that when you come to to visit us
you wanna see something else
we can send you say go check this out.
So a cool place to opened up down the street,
we're going to visit.
- Don't worry, a nice head massage.
- No.
- Dude they got He-Man.
- Hey I recognize you!
- Oh my gosh! I don't mind at all.
- Look at all these toys, I mean oh my gosh,
I, you know, I knew this place was cool from the outside.
It looked really dope.
But inside, it is so much cooler.
Oh my goodness.
So, look at this Noah.
What's your favorite?

- I gotta talk her into letting me get this.

Can I ride this?
So this is cool.
Again, another place that you can come to when
you come to the reptarium,
come here and check this place out.
This is, uh, I could spend hours in this place.
It's insane.
- It's so cool.
It's cool.

Same with obviously all you guys.

There's some cool stuff in here.
