(music)
hey good morning guys its a beautiful day and it started out gloomy
and its starting to get nice and bright out here
uh all though they are
calling for some snow tonight
uh i would take the sun when i can get it
guys people ask all the time do snakes ever get out the answer is it doesn't
happen very often but every now and then it does and I gotta be honest with you
it's extremely rare for anything large to get out because we really take a lot
of hill pride in the fact that we want our large snakes to stay inside with
that said I'm going to share something with you guys I almost what whatever I'm
going to share it with you guys so Lucy yesterday we kind of cleaned her cage
the best because she was in a really bad mood and unfortunately this happened
mm-hmm-hmm looks like maybe we didn't shut the cage all the way when I came
downstairs I realized that Lucy was not in her cage so not that hard to find a
19-foot snake and keeping in mind she's in a really bad mood so this may not be
the funnest thing that I've ever done but uh she was pretty easy to find
hello now the question is how the heck do we get her from up here to back over
there fortunately I have a couple guys helping me and Trevor is excited about
this oh you are so excited aren't you 200 pounds of ovulating bitch we
couldn't clean half the cage yesterday we only are able to clean half per cage
because she was in a really bad mood so this gives us an opportunity we'll clean
her cage because she's not in there and then we're going to try to somehow get
her out this is this is not something to happen we get little snakes out but big
snakes just don't get out so um one day
and here
alright guys there's no real easy way to go about this so we're just gonna do our
best to see what happens up I don't know how this is gonna work out
that was awesome yeah that's exciting I have like girls man yeah we still gotta
get her in her cage though but uh
god that is how you do it so we're not proud that snakes get out we don't ever
want that to happen obviously it was a mistake that was made we just let it
crack and and once that cage is closed there's no way it's going to get out so
I'm blaming Trevor okay there's there's no one to blame I've lent snakes out
everyone does but uh anyways let's uh let's keep her in her cage from now on
I've got to get my snake work done so I can head up to a cool little place
called Frankenmuth later today it's a little like Bavarian village in Michigan
that is pretty famous people come from all over the places a really cool lil
town really Christmassy and me and Laurie do it every single year this is
kind of like a tradition it's gonna be cold but hey you know what I'm gonna
have a great time first rule of business for me today is to check all these
snakes ought to make sure they ate and just to make sure everything's okay
so filet I'm gonna get two
I tell you what after that insanity of getting Lucy back in I'm ready to move
on with my work last real thing I need to do today before I head out and go
spend some family time is I actually just assist feed ball pythons so again
what we ended up coming down to at this point is we have eleven animals that
need to be assisted out of you know thousands of snakes that we've had this
year I think that's pretty successful out of those eleven I really believe I
think all of them are going to end up eating on their own and doing just fine
but but I got to just keep on the assist feeding with that said there's always a
chance we may lose one or two maybe they have internal issues I have no idea but
but I feel pretty good I think that most of them if not all them are going to
make it I just have to keep assist feeding and eventually they'll start
eating on their own so let me get this done and then get
you
so there you have it assist feed we're going to give those guys about 10
minutes or so we'll come back make sure that they ate if they did then we're
good to go if they didn't we're gonna try it again
listen guys I have a heart I know there's that that argument that
sometimes is like hey listen if a snake or an animal for that matter doesn't do
well as a baby maybe it wasn't meant to live but I'm an animal lover I have a
hard time giving up when animals I've seen animals that have struggled for two
three months and had to assist feet and then grew up and lived a 12 or 15 or 20
year life so I can't give up on them and I'm not going to all right so we are
heading off to Frankenmuth the little bavarian village and it is pretty chilly
out here wouldn't you say Laurie now Laurie likes the cold I'm not a fan at
all so let me just run down the first thing is that when you're gonna spend a
lot of the day outside when you live in a place like Michigan when it's cold
like it is now you have to gear yourself up so I have some some pants on I love
to have pants on but no I've got my thermal pants on but I've got my gym
pants over anyways I've got two layers of pants on haha and I have obviously
two socks on I actually have not one not two but three shirts on I think I'm
prepared for the day what do you think Laurie what do you have I think you're
prepared for Antarctica exactly
all right set the scene we're at place called Tony's they have huge orders of
things Laurie right here is getting a 12-egg omelet that's right 12 big home
and she's going to crush it off I'm getting the BLT nee not bacon lettuce
and tomato that has a pound of bacon so
all right Lori was it everything that you hoped for peanut butter cup was
disappointment other than being frigidly cold out here
it was still a pretty good time well anyways we had a good time it is
freezing cold we're heading back to the car radda hour-and-a-half drive home and
done calling tonight
