- This is my giant anaconda, Ivy, and she is full of babies.
Speaking of babies, take look at these cute monkeys here.
These are actually baby mangrove snakes, or melanota,
and these are mildly venomous, baby snakes.
Of course, an adult like this,
which is the mama to the clutch that just hatched
could actually envenomate you.
She's certainly got big enough teeth
and definitely willing to bite.
You gotta be careful because you she will definitely snap.
But they do have to chew on you a little bit.
They don't have those hypodermic needle
delivery systems that are pressurized
like a venomous elapid, like a cobra.
But if they chew on you and envenomate you,
you can get a little bit of mild symptoms
like swelling and nausea.
Now, keeping in mind, if you have an anaphylactic shock,
meaning you're allergic to it,
it could be a lot, lot worse.
I don't wanna get bit by this mama
or any of our even mildly venomous snakes.
But these baby snakes can barely hurt you.
Even if they struck at me, their teeth are so small,
they're really not even gonna break the skin.
Bearing a rear-fanged venomous snake
means they need to penetrate you and chew on you
to actually have that venom drip into you.
These guys certainly won't have it happen.
See down by the tails here,
it's actually more like an orange-ish, reddish color.
Of course, as these get bigger
they're gonna turn jet black and yellow, just like mama.
Absolutely wonderful snakes.
But we actually keep quite a few
mildly venomous snakes here.
Like this false water cobra here.
And the reason that they call 'em false water cobra is
that they actually hood up a lot, like a Cobra
not quite as big but they certainly do.
Certainly mildly venomous not too serious at all.
I've never been bit by 'em,
and they're actually pretty docile snakes.
So I'm not, whoa!
I think he actually tried to bite me.
Definitely have to be careful of this guy.
It's in feeding mode, there's no doubt about it.
See that flare up. See that right there.
That is what they're doing right there.
When they nudge their nose on you.
That's when they might actually get you.
But again, it's gonna have to chew on me
to actually and envenomate me but, whoo!
That was a close call.
(western guitar music)
- Snakes or lizards, Mike?
- Snakes?
- Lizards.
- Snakes versus lizards.
We actually made this bracket to find out
who the coolest animal here is at the reptarium.
- [Jay] Elvis versus Baby Kush, who's the coolest lizard?
- Oh man, I gotta go with Elvis
just because of his personality.
I would also say Elvis just 'cause he's, you know,
he's like a puppy dog and we love him.
- Yeah, Baby Kush is a little too scary for my liking.
- [Jay] You guys wanna come with me
and figure out the rest of the crew?
- Yeah, let's go! - Let's do it!
- [Jay] Which one do you choose?
- They're both so amazing but
my heart's with Elvis, I'm gonna go Elvis.
- [Mike] Give me!
- Elvis all day, baby! He' my best friend.
- Oh good, we got three people in here.
Elvis or Kush?
- I like Kush.
- Elvis.
- I like Kush.
- Well that's like 47 for Elvis and like two for Kush.
(yelling and whooping)
- Do you pick Elvis or Kush?
- Kush.
- Kush?!
- [Woman] 100%, yeah, Kush.
- How much does Elvis have? All right.
- [Jay] Neo versus Perdita.
- That's an easy one, boy. Perdita.
- I gotta do Perdita, she's a go-to girl.
Why didn't I pick Neo? I love ice cream.
- Perdita, I think she's awesome.
So I'm gonna have to pick Perdita.
- I'm gonna go Neo, just because it's gonna
stay that way for the rest of its life and
it's one of the most beautiful looking snakes
I've ever seen.
- [Woman On Phone] I'm sorry?
- Neo or Perdita?
- [Woman On Phone] 23rd at eleven?
- She picked Neo let's go ahead.
- Perdita all day.
- Perdita.
- I'm a moose!
- You guys are killing me today.
My girl Perdita, though. I mean, come on, man.
I love that girl.
- Coconut drop.
- So back to my girl, Ivy, when is she gonna have babies?
It's a little bit hard to tell.
From ovulation it's about a 130, 135 days.
I'm not exactly sure when she ovulated
'cause she was so big for a couple weeks.
I wasn't a 100% sure.
But I think that she's about 100 days after ovulation now.
Meaning that she's probably about
a month away from having babies.
And the interesting thing that's happened
with Ivy is her behavior.
She loved spending time in the water before she was gravid.
And then after she was gravid,
she spent probably two and a half months
right up here underneath the basking light,
getting as warm as she can.
Of course that's what mama snakes do.
They want their babies to be nice and warm
so that they grow really well.
The same thing if they're laying eggs.
Now the last couple weeks, she's back in the water.
Which makes me wonder, is there a chance that
she's gonna have her babies in the water?
Everyone I know that breeds Anaconda
breeds them in kind of enclosures
that aren't as naturalistic.
So I'm not sure where anacondas actually have their babies.
In the wild, do they climb up on land
and have 'em on the land?
Or do they actually have 'em in the water?
Gonna be really interesting to find out
and just think that here in another month or so
we're gonna have babies all over this enclosure.
- [Jay] Frosty the new monitor versus Beetle Juice?
- Beetle Juice.
- Frosty.
- Beetle Juice.
- Frosty.
- This is a real hard one, to be honest with you.
And I don't know exactly who to pick.
I'm gonna go with my noggin and go with Beetle Juice.
(laughing)
- Maria, Frosty or Beetle Juice?
- Beetle Juice.
- Wait who's Rossy?
- [Noah] Frosty, not Fernando.
- I like Beetle Juice more.
- [Noah] Beetle Juice or Frosty?
- Ah, man, I mean, Frosty. Come on man.
I love Beetle Juice, but Frosty come on.
- [Jay] Bugatti or Night Fury?
- 100% Bugatti.
- Bugatti.
- Bugatti, come on dude.
I mean it's the dream Python for anyone that keeps snakes.
So, Bugatti, hands down.
- Perfect!
- Bugatti, he's my favorite.
- Night Fury.
- You guys are killing me today, man.
Yeah, I'm going more on behavior than coolness.
I like the personality of animals more than the coolness.
Bugatti is probably the cooler animal,
but I've gotta say Night Fury because
I love that animal's personality.
- He tried to kill me earlier.
- And that's why I love 'em.
- Bugatti.
- Night Fury.
- Believe it or not, western hognose snakes,
one of the most commonly kept pet snakes
and absolutely wonderful pets,
are actually considered mildly venomous,
rear-fanged animals.
Now it's extremely rare to get envenomated
and then most of the time people that do
have no reaction at all.
But I did have an employee years ago
that got bit by one and his fingers swelled up
and his whole hand kind of got big.
So it can happen extremely mild symptoms
but definitely classified as rear-fanged venomous.
- Chicky-Chicky versus Hiccy-Hiccy?
AKA Chicken Strip versus Hiccup.
- Hiccup.
- Chicken Strip.
Hiccy-Hiccy.
- Hiccup's my boy.
- I love the sass on Chicken Strip.
- I kinda like Chicken Strip, too.
- I'm gonna go Chicken Strip as well
because he's fun to film.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Maria!
- Hiccy-Hiccy versus Chicky-Chicky.
- What is this?
- [Mike] Hiccy-Hiccy versus Chicky-Chicky.
- Hiccup.
- Chicky-Chicky versus Hiccy-Hiccy.
- Chicken Strip versus Hiccup?
- Yeah.
- Oh, well this is a tough, one.
- [Mike] He made them too tough, right?
- I know this is a tough one.
I love Chicken Strip, but I don't know.
Hiccup has got such a cool personality.
I gotta go with Hiccup.
- Hiccy-Hiccy.
Hiccy or Chicky?
- Tiebreaker.
- I'm gonna have to go with Chicken Strip.
- Back to mildly venomous snakes.
This is actually a Baron's racer.
And of course we just got those blue ones
that are gonna be absolutely wonderful
when they get bigger.
The fact is these guys actually are rear-fanged
and I guess their venom is a little bit more toxic
than a lot of the ones that we keep.
So when you do get bit, typically,
there's a little bit more effects to it.
Now, I don't know anyone that's been bit
by a Baron's racer so I'm not 100% sure firsthand.
But I hear their venom has a little bit of toxicity to it.
And you really would prefer not to get bit by 'em.
They are absolutely wonderful,
and I don't think this one's gonna ever bite me.
(upbeat bass music)
- Is there anything you don't want on your burger?
- Pickles.
- Speaking of pickles, Pickles or Carl.
- Pickles.
- Carl.
- I'm gonna pick Carl, gotta pick Carl, sorry.
- He's gonna pick Pickles.
- You guys again?
You know, I've gotta get some work done today.
(laughing)
- Yeah, okay. Pickles or Carl.
- That's, you guys, these brackets are tough, man.
- He made 'em good, he made 'em good.
- I think I've gotta go with Pickles.
I love emerald tree boas,
but I think I've gotta go with pickles.
- Called that one.
- [Jay] Toothless versus Waffles.
- Ah!
- Toothless, that's just one of my favorite movies.
- Toothless.
- Gotta pick Toothless, baby, he's beautiful.
- Toothless, sorry.
- [Jay] That's four right out the gate.
- [Noah] It's wipe out.
- [Jay] Check, check, check.
- Waffles or Toothless?
- Toothless.
- Toothless hands down.
- Toothless, Toothless, Toothless.
- Toothless.
- Oh, I love them both so much, Toothless.
- With the landslide victory, it's a shut-out.
- [Jay] Gemma or Sunrise?
- Sunrise. - Sunrise, Sunrise.
- I'm going Gemma.
- Sunrise is my girl.
- Sunrise versus,
- Gemma.
- [Noah] Wrong answer.
- [Jay] Oh look who it is.
- Oh, Sunrise or Gemma?
- Sunrise.
- And food.
- Ah, we'll walk together.
- And we have our first coluber clutch of the day.
We got a few of them today.
This is actually a hatched creamsicle scaleless
that's bred to a scale creamsicle.
Got a handful of eggs in here.
Put mama back really quick.
Let's see what kind eggs we have.
We have two, four, five,
six, good ones, and two slugs.
Next up we actually have a beautiful
high white, black and white Cal king.
Look at this mama right here, woo hoo!
She's a gorgeous one.
And take a look at all these beautiful eggs
she's got right there.
Now that is a nice clutch.
Two, four, six, eight, beautiful eggs.
- [Jay] Elvis versus Beetle Juice?
- Beetle Juice is beautiful.
If I were to choose one of the coolest,
gotta be Elvis.
- I'm going Elvis.
- What a silly question, of course, Elvis.
- Elvis, come on now.
- Elvis.
- I said Elvis
- Beetle Juice.
- Well she's she's the only one
that picked Beetle Juice so Elvis wins.
- Perdita versus Bugatti.
- Perdita.
- Bugatti.
- Perdita.
- This is a hard one, Perdita.
- Bugatti
- [Noah] Perdita or Bugatti?
- Get outta here with that trash, Perdita.
- [Noah] Oh, wow, that was quick.
- Bugatti.
- That's a win.
- Take a look at this mama here.
This is actually a Pueblan milk snake.
Looks like she's got a beautiful clutch of eggs.
Whoop, yep. Pearly whites right there.
That's absolutely amazing.
Two, four, six, seven, beautiful eggs.
Beautiful apricot Pueblan,
look at how awesome this girl looks here.
And I have a feeling she has a beautiful clutch of eggs.
Whoa! That is a big clutch of eggs right there.
Two, four, six, eight, ten,
12, 14, eggs! That might be a record.
- Whoa.
- [Jay] Chicken Strip versus Toothless?
- Toothless.
- I mean, Toothless, come on, dude.
- Toothless.
- Sunrise versus Carl?
- Sunrise.
- Come on now, Sunrise, baby.
- No one's gonna like this, I'm picking Carl, bro.
- Sunrise.
- Sunrise, all day.
- Dang, Sunrise wins.
- We got this cool ball python here.
This is actually a pin stripe.
That's Het for VPI Axanthic.
And it bred to this gorgeous dragon fly
Het for VPI Axanthic.
Let's see how many eggs mama has,
big old clutch right there.
And look at all these eggs here,
we've got two, four, six, eight, nine beautiful eggs.
It's like we've got a little champagne that is
Het for ghost and it's bred to this barney ball python.
I thought it'd be interesting to breed
a banana super chocolate pinstripe to a champagne.
And unfortunately doesn't look like a very good clutch.
We only have two good eggs in here and four slugs
but hopefully these two eggs will
yield us some good babies.
- [Jay] Semifinals for the lizards,
Elvis verses Toothless.
- Toothy.
- Man, this one's really hard.
I'm going with Toothless.
- Elvis, all day.
- Toothless.
- I'm going Elvis.
- [Jay] Hello?
- Hello!
- [Jay] Elvis versus Toothless.
- Ooh, Elvis.
- Elvis.
- I go Elvis, man.
- [Jay] Could you have two better lizards
in the semifinals, you know?
- I mean, this hurts my heart.
It hurts my heart to pick one of these guys.
I still have to go with my boy, Elvis.
- [Jay] Elvis is in the finals.
- [Mike] Elvis, going to the finals.
- Wow!

- I mean it's Elvis, come on, dude.
- Elvis.
- Bugatti.
- Elvis.
- Dad, we got something for you, Dad.
- It's the last one, the final.
- What you got there in the pan?
- Oh no, no that's not.
- That's not for me? Do I win something?
- Pride. Elvis or Bugatti?
- Those are the finalists? Aw.
This is, to me, it's the no brainer. Elvis.
- Elvis!
- [Jay] To everyone it was a no brainer,
'cause it's a landslide victory.
- Yeah, only one person voted Bugatti
and they are silly.
(all laughing)

- Get in the closet!
- I don't want to, Uncle!
