(funky music)
- And we're back with episode seven.
I try not to give in to the comments,
but there were just so many saying that
I should go out and get a box cutter
because they're so tired of seeing me use these other tools.
So I got this retractable utility knife.
It was just a few bucks.
And luckily, it'll help me unbox my new box cutter.
I can't believe I spent 200
on just a box cutter just for this video.
But so many of you recommended the brand "chan sow"?
"Chain sue"?
I'm not sure how to pronounce it,
but I care about my audience.
I care about what you have to say.
And I want to deliver on that.
If you're new to the channel,
this is where I unbox reptiles.
Today there are 30, which is a new record.
This is a mega unboxing.
How do I get it out?
Okay, I think...
So I think what they did is the way they packaged it,
it forces you to test the product on the way out.
(chainsaw revs)
Okay, the box said to add oil.
(Alex gags)
Aw, it's on my fingers.
Okay, well, we're done with this.
So finding a new home for your reptile,
if you have to re-home, can be really difficult.
That's why Emerald Scales exists.
So you can go to emeraldscales.com to buy
or re-home one of your own reptiles or amphibians,
to and from anywhere in the USA.
And today I'm actually going to be opening
the 100th animal I've unboxed on camera.
'Cause there's 30 animals here from 10 states.
Me, me, me, I hope you get canceled.
GoHerp, be easier, you're too rough on the animals.
(chainsaw revs)
A one, a two, a three, and a four.
Cut with perfect precision, thank you.
I wonder if there's a note in here.
I see one.
Can I do this one handed?
I just had to cut some tape.
Hey, I got it.
Dear Alex, we're so grateful to all you for taking in...
Let me start over, that was really bad.
We are so grateful for you, to you all.
Oh my God.
We're so grateful to you all for taking
my reptiles and finding them a new home.
Seriously, thank you so much, it means a lot.
You're welcome.
This, this bag is so tiny.
I wonder what it is.
Very nicely packaged.
So it appears none the animals got out of the bag.
I actually, in a recent video,
I showed off a false water Cobra.
I didn't tie the bag well enough.
The buyer said that it actually escaped in the box.
I harass people so much for making that same mistake.
And I finally did it myself.
So I'm pretty sure there's a Western hognose
in one of these, sometimes they're a bit grumpy.
Oh, this is not a Western hognose.
It's an adorable little Kenyan sand boa.
Looks like just a normal.
The Western hognose is named Bonnie.
So I'll assume a female.
Maybe it's not actually sex though.
Oh wait, did I see Western hognose?
The Kenyan sand boa is named Zuko.
I have no idea if that's a male or female name,
and does not answer my question.
It looks to be in immaculate condition.
This has to be one of the healthiest animals
that I've ever opened, at least on camera.
I don't really want to handle four snakes at a time,
so let's just...
Let's go smallest to biggest.
There's an animal that's really
unhappy in one of those boxes.
And this one is a Western hognose.
It's, I have no idea what morph this is,
but it's not one that I have ever seen or recognize.
Let's see how sweet it is.
I'll be honest, I get a little
anxious around Western hognose.
They're not my favorite to handle,
but I always have this boost
of confidence when the camera's rolling.
And after, the cameraman never dies,
and there isn't a camera man,
so I think that means that I default as the cameraman.
(train horn blows)
This is actually the biggest hognose
I think I've ever gotten or handled in person.
They do tend to burrow.
It's actually trying to burrow in just
the little bits of paper towel on the table.
What's up?
Next up, a blue tongue skink.
It's a Northern blue tongue, but these are all
extremely unique patterns so far, and also very healthy.
But the test, does the skink have its toes?
Because the most common thing I see
with blue tongue skinks is they're missing toes.
And oh my God, it has not only all 10, 20.
Wait, one, two, three.
Not only does it have all 20 of its toes,
it has all 20 of its toenails?
Claws?
It has all of them.
I'd say your animals honestly have to be the best health
of pretty much any that we've gotten to unbox so far.
It looks perfect.
And number four.
Will it be a perfect streak?
(Alex vocalizes)
It's a corn snake.
Yeah, it's literally perfect.
Very impressive.
What's really interesting is all these patterns
are patterns I've never seen in person before.
This corn snake has a huge stripe
that's going down at the back,
which I have also not seen.
So this is a really interesting opening.
I'm glad my box cutter aim was accurate,
because these are four that I would not want to lose.
That sounds terrible.
It's super big as well.
It's got a lot of energy,
and it really likes my face.
And I like it's as well.
So these four are coming from Indiana.
And the owner was really sad to see them go,
but decided that re-homing was the best choice.
And I'm confident that there will be
no issues finding them good homes.
So let's move on to number two.
Next up, let's do the little one, shall we?
I'm sorry I said that.
We're gonna have to be more precise.
(chainsaw revs)
Be right back.
- [Announcer] We interrupt this program
for an important news announcement.
- The day has finally come.
Ever since I was a wee child,
I dreamed of creating my own plush toy.
And the very first one is here.
It's soft, it's squishy, it's fuzzy, it's super stuffed.
And I love it.
This is just a prototype and they are still in production.
However, there's only going to be 500 made,
and once they're sold out, they're never coming back.
I can't say exactly when they're going to be shipped,
but hopefully it'll be by the end of January.
I'm super happy with it, it's adorable.
If it goes well, I would love to make more plushies.
But if you want to get one of the first ever
of the only run of the limited edition
GoHerping box Bush, I don't know what to call it.
You can order now at goherping.com.
Unlike the reptiles, I can ship these internationally.
Not every country because of some restrictions
still happening, but about 90 something
percent of you will be able to order these.
So thanks so much if you end up buying one.
I really look forward to getting these out to you.
Back to the slightly more per%ishable boxes.
I'm back.
(chainsaw revs)
I don't know how to hold it, okay?
Some child is going to cut off their toes.
You want your toes into adulthood, trust me.
Ah!
Yeah, I don't know why people thought
box cutters were the right tool.
Stupid "chan sue" brand.
And it's a crested gecko who
ripped off all the felt on the top lid.
What the, what?
Something's wrong with this crested gecko,
but I don't know what.
Its right eye is completely fogged over,
and it's very lethargic.
I mean, he can hold on.
He's not moving all that much.
He's also really fat.
Like he has actual sacs of fat under his neck
and on his side, but he does not look good.
He at least doesn't look quite
as good as the animals that we just saw.
I guess we'll just let him hang out
and I'll get him hydrated.
And give him the option of a little bit of worm.
He looks kind of like how Stan has that big,
just like sack of like old skin,
which it's just cause he's kind of,
I mean, old and wrinkly.
I don't think this gecko is that old,
but something's kind of odd.
So, I'll go get him in something.
So we've got a few big boxes.
So I'm going to go ahead and get one out of the way.
But here's the thing, I have a confession.
I'm out of the size, and I need a few,
and sometimes I reuse boxes.
So I'm not going to use the box cutter this time.
It's a little too destructive.
But I haven't whipped this out in a while.
In fact, the last time I opened it
was a previous unboxing. (dramatic music)
Oh, yeah. - Oh, yeah!
- Mmm, memories.
So it doesn't smell like anything.
So this person actually sent two animals,
but this time in two separate boxes,
because this one is so big
that it would kind of crush the other animal.
It's also coming from New York, which for some reason,
is the most popular state that I work with.
Duh-duh-dun.
Heat pack is still toasty.
And I could have used a smaller box.
You ready?
This is really exciting, okay.
A second bag, wow.
Oh, eww. (blubbers)
(Alex coughs)
This one had a little accident in the baggie,
and that accident just accidentally,
accidentaled all over my hands.
Ooh, hello.
Oh, that's...
Yep, all right.
I shouldn't have dumped that on the table, but I did.
And it's my biggest regret.
(sad piano music)
Are you friendly?
Okay, don't smear that every, okay.
Don't, all right, just don't touch anything.
Well, this is a Hog Island boa, very pretty.
It's got a very interesting speckled pattern,
and it looks to be in pretty good condition.
It's got a bit of loose skin, and honestly,
the biggest problem going for it
is that it smells like a dumpster.
And this dumpster is going into my bathtub.
I didn't think I would say that sentence in my life.
So the person that sent these two animals actually placed
the order to send them over a year ago.
It was 14 months and he ended up ghosting me, which is fine.
Some people change their mind.
But he actually came back and decided
it is the right thing to re-home them.
I would say this is a bit underweight.
It doesn't look too underweight, but once I feel it,
it really just feels kind of empty.
Like there's not much muscle mass,
and it doesn't seem that strong either.
But at least it won't smell after this bath.
(dubstep music)
I needed a break after that smell.
You know what ruins any video is when
someone's just going along like normal,
and then all of a sudden they just...
(sips water) (coughs)
Don't do that.
Edit it out, it's gross.
Next up. (chainsaw revs)
Look at that precision, I'm getting good.
An untied bag, but it's still in the bag.
Oh, hello.
An albino ball python, which is also shedding as we speak.
And this one isn't too bad, actually.
But it is on the thinner side.
It's got more of a triangular shape than a rounder shape.
This is just a straight normal albino,
no other genes or morphs,
unless there's something recessive,
but that's not really relevant, 'cause who cares?
They've got the bright red eyes that a lot of people hate,
but I think they're pretty neat.
This one's also coming from New York,
and this named Two, like the number.
I don't know any references,
'cause apparently I'm uncultured.
Next up, from MA.
Massachu...
Michigan?
(chainsaw revs)
Why'd you put the sticker inside?
I know it's a live animal, I'm the one I'm boxing it.
Wow, this shape feels familiar.
I wonder what it is.
It's a ball python, again.
This time just a normal.
Quite warm cause the heat pack fell,
but it seems to be okay.
It's also in shed.
It's got the cloudy blue eyes, which means it's...
Yeah, gonna shed.
It looks to be pretty healthy.
And also all the packaging today has been quite good so far.
So normally there's some really bad boxes,
but people have made sure that their
perishable packages are arriving well.
Also, you can buy this hoodie or shirt with the
link below, in case you were wondering.
You aren't wondering, but it told you anyway.
Oh!
Smells good.
The previous one was re-homed cause they were going to
college, which is by far the most common reason.
How do you sharpen a Katana?
This one's coming from Indiana,
and was re-homed because...
They're also going to college.
What is this?
Oh.
So I guess originally it was from Royal Morph Creations.
They did not pay for me to say that.
Okay, I'm going to be honest, this is pretty neat.
The company actually laminated
a piece of paper all about the animal,
showing the parents, and they even signed it.
That is wholesome.
(Alex laughs)
He's just chilling...
At Grand Rapids.
And it's also another ball python.
I just thought about that.
All of which are because they're going to college,
all of which are pretty healthy.
This one is also going through shed.
Wow, it's like they're twins,
except this one is a pastel ghost.
So sometimes with morphs, I just have to guess.
And when I do guess, I make sure I tell
the person buying that I can't guarantee it,
but this actually is genetically guaranteed.
I'm also glad that they sent that over.
He does seem to have some something on him.
I don't know if it's scarring or what,
but it's going to be best to tell when he's at a shed.
But super healthy.
What is that liquid?
Is my box cutter leaking?
There's so many boxes left.
Let's see if this one is something
that's not the exact same species as everything else.
I'm using it backwards.
Okay, it's coming from South Carolina.
It's a new state.
Can we get a new species?
The number of smells entering my nose today is...
Oh, it's so tiny.
Eugh, it smells like a port-a-potty.
Like, see, just literally, and I--
(Alex coughs)
Imagine just someone sends me just human waste.
Someone pays $200 to send me...
Oh.
Well.
It's a ball python.
I got my hopes up because I was really small.
So this one was actually owned for less than a year,
but they had to move to an apartment that refused reptiles.
Now it's here.
It's adorable.
It's a ball python, but it's adorable.
I think it's some sort of banana,
which has even just a cute morph name.
Very healthy, but a ball python, so we're moving on.
I don't know why it smells like a port-a-potty, but it does.
I need to stop smelling it.
This one's coming from Kansas.
No ball python, no ball python, no ball python.
Well, it's not a ball python.
It's my favorite, I love getting these.
They are the lowest demand animal
I have ever had in my entire existence.
And they are here for months,
sometimes up to six months.
Oh my god, okay.
Okay.
Let's move the box cutter.
I'm going to hope it didn't eat any of this,
because it completely, this is why we use bags.
It completely shredded all of the cardboard,
I mean all of the styrofoam.
And it started working on the cardboard.
There's actually just a little hole forming.
So this red-eared slider was almost property
of some random FedEx location, in probably a few hours.
Why did I dump it on my table?
Well, it's a female.
It's pretty big, it's got some stuck scoots.
It's the usual deal with a red-eared slider.
It could be worse though.
On the bright side, it's pretty friendly.
I love cleaning this room after unboxings.
It's my favorite thing.
Just like red-eared sliders.
(chainsaw revs)
Yes, this picture is thoroughly adorable,
and I will treasure it,
but this is two red-eared sliders
named Ari and Charlie.
Let's check them out.
One, two.
Yep, they're both here.
They're both very moist as well.
Normally the reptiles really want to come out of the bag,
but this one's literally pulling itself in.
We've got the introvert turtle.
The owner said they felt like they couldn't
provide adequate care, so they're here now.
And although I definitely do find them homes
eventually, it just takes so long,
because even though a lot of people,
like, I actually like aquatic turtles.
I love my turtle Franklin, and they're great.
They're really fun to keep.
But the problem is they just take up
so much space and so many resources.
And if you want to keep them outside,
you have to be in the right climate.
If you want to keep them inside, you need a ton of space.
And here's number two, who is kind of red.
Is this blood?
So it had basically, it pushed out a little something,
and it looks like there's blood in its stool.
Maybe not the perfect condition red-eared slider.
A lot of times people don't really tell with aquatic
turtles or aquatic animals in general,
because when they poop or whatever,
it's going to just end up in the water,
and they might not be able to kind of check on it
as easily as a non aquatic animal.
I'm just going to very closely watch it.
It could just be kind of stained from this,
but I've never seen it that red.
So yeah, it'll take a close eye.
This one seems fine, though.
And you can preorder the first ever GoHerping plush.
But thanks so much for watching.
And as a token of my appreciation
for your patience for part two, you get...
Nothing.
