- There you go, bud.
There you go.
Oh my gosh.
It's gonna be so amazing.
- Oh!
- Dude! Look at you!
- Is that crazy or?
- Dude, it's massive!
- Yeah, look at you!
- Wow!
(upbeat electronic music)
- Hey, good morning everybody!
Welcome to the Vlog.
Today is the big day, because Lori and I are traveling to...
- Pick up our two headed snake.
- That's right.
Our two headed snake,
but we gotta head over to the shop first.
We definitely wanna just make sure everything is good
at the reptarium, check in on BHB.
We have about a four hour drive down into Ohio,
where we're gonna be picking up the two headed snake.
Look at Casper over there, acting all weird.
I love coming in every morning and seeing the animals,
and just seeing what they're doing and how they're acting.
Oh my gosh.
Look at how beautiful this dude is.
Okay, just gonna do a real quick check here,
head over next door, make sure everything's good there,
and then we are on our way.
But before heading over to BHB,
you guys know I'm gonna say hi
to my girl Bella a little bit.
Hey girl, how are you this morning?
Hello.
I'll be back later on tonight, girl.
See you in a minute.
And again, just doing a real quick walk through with BHB,
as well, just making sure everything is okay.
Take a look at how gorgeous some of Lucy's babies are.
Of course this is a little tiger citron.
Oh my gosh.
I've got a couple of these babies picked out to raise up,
but so many of them are so beautiful.
Take a look at that thing right there.
It's been a while since I updated
you guys on these ones here.
Remember, these are those black milk snakes,
that almost look like Hondurans when they're babies,
and then they get jet black when they're adults.
Well, I was starting to wonder,
because they were looking like Hondurans,
even when they started to get bigger.
But sure enough, this one is starting to turn.
You can see how sooty it's starting to look.
Well, here in another probably three, four months from now
and a little more size.
Oh, you cheeky monkey.
It's gonna be jet black like a Mexican black king.
Oh my God, I am so excited, cause like I said,
I thought to myself, is there any way that the guy
sold us just normal Hondurans, instead of black milk,
because you literally really can't tell
them apart as babies.
So, thankfully, they're starting to turn amazing.
- [Brian] Eric, we're off, man.
Everything good?
We're gonna go get the two headed snake.
- I'm so excited, man.
I can't wait to see it, so.
- [Brian] I know, it's gonna be awesome, so we'll be back
and you'll see it when we get back, alright?
- Awesome, I'll be waiting right here.
- [Brian] Alright, hold the fort down.
No drama.
- No drama!
- [Brian] We'll be back.
So basically, we have to drive about four hours to the
Dayton, Ohio area, to my buddy John's place.
Now, I knew about this two headed snake about
three years ago when he hatched it,
but he wanted to keep it as a pet
and he was like, no I'm gonna just keep it.
I'm just gonna keep it.
So, I've been kind of working on him for the last few years.
Like saying, hey, please, let me buy that.
Because I knew it would be a great thing if I ever opened up
something like the Reptarium.
Thankfully, he ended up seeing what we did
with the Reptarium and reached out to me
and finally said, you know what, Brian, you're right.
This animal needs to be on display.
It needs to be out there for people to see.
So, he agreed to sell it to me,
which is absolutely amazing.
Well again, we have about three
and half hours left for the drive.
When we get there, we get to see his collection,
and then get to see this animal for the very first time.
I am so excited.
- We're here at BHB, obviously, right next to our boy RJ.
You said that you hatched some geckos or something?
- Yeah, so Mary and I breed crested geckos,
and we bring the eggs in here to like roommate or whatever.
- Sure.
- So here's the final product.
We incubate these eggs here at BHB.
Look at that, you're not gonna believe
the size of these little geckos.
Now these specific ones won't be ready for a few weeks.
We like to raise 'em up a little.
You know what I mean?
Make sure they're eating.
This one is really pretty.
It still has a little vermiculite on it, or whatever it is.
So, sometime last night,
these little guys came out of the eggs.
And a lot of the times, when I would buy a crested gecko,
I'm like, oh, this thing is right
out of the egg, look at it.
No it's not.
Look how small that animal is right there.
Pretty incredible to think
that that came out of this, isn't it?
That's why.
- Yep there you go.
- Reptiles are amazing.
Can we get that again?
Amen, hallelujah.
- That's right.
- Reptiles are amazing, America.
- That's a July baby and this is a November baby.
That's incredible, the size difference.
- Thank you for watching, for real.
Our little update, since our dad's out of town.
Our dad's out of town.
- He's my American dad.
- Alright, we gotta wrap this up.
Let's get out of here.
- So we made it down to the Dayton, Ohio area,
to my buddy, John Mack's place.
Uh, excited to see this two headed snake.
Oh my God this thing is gonna be amazing.
- Yeah. I can't wait to see it too.
- I can't wait to see it,
and I can't wait to put it the Reptarium, finally.
I know that I've had a terrible past with two headed snakes.
And I've actually told Lori.
Did I tell you this yet?
I told her, I don't know if I told her, if I didn't
I'm telling her right now.
Don't ever let me buy a baby two headed snake again.
- Don't worry, yeah.
- Never again, but this isn't a baby.
Let's go meet up with John and Amy,
and go see this amazing snake.
- What's going on, man?
How are you, dude?
How you doing?
Good to see you.
Amy, how are you?
Oh my gosh.
- Hey, what's going on?
- How are you guys?
I'm super excited to see this snake.
So, I need to hear the story behind this,
when we get over to.
It's over at the other place, right?
- Correct.
- Okay, so we're gonna come down there.
I gotta hear the story behind this snake.
Does it have a name?
- It's Ben and Jerry.
- Ben and Jerry, that's not bad.
- I like it.
- I actually like that.
That's actually pretty cool.
That's awesome.
Alright, let's go see Ben and Jerry.
Oh my gosh.
- There's two of them in there.
- Oh, there's two!
- One is blending in.
- Oh my gosh, little baby bale chameleons.
Oh my God, they are so cute.
- Alright, guys.
So, here is Ben and Jerry,
this beautiful, two-headed, adult cow king.
And, you know, it's just kind of a bummer right now,
because as a daily vlogger it's not easy.
I mean, I love doing it.
I love sharing my life with you guys.
I love filming and editing,
and everything that goes with it,
but it's tough sometimes.
And it's not always easy to keep things going.
In actuality, we've filmed another vlog of a tour of
John and Amy's place and we had a lot of footage.
Not to complain to you guys,
but I've been going like crazy for months.
What you have to understand, is that when I'm vlogging,
I'm trying to tell you the story
of what happens in my day, you know?
I'm trying to wrap it up into this cool little story,
so you guys can kind of enjoy it the best you can.
So, this particular vlog there was a clip that was about
eight minutes long of myself and Lori seeing
Ben and Jerry for the very first time.
Our reactions, seeing how amazing it was.
It was bigger than I thought.
I was blown away.
I was just so happy.
I was brimming with excitement,
and I couldn't wait to get it back to the Reptarium,
and all these things, and, unfortunately, the entire story
of the day was really about that one clip.
And like I said, it is so hard,
when you have so much going, like I have.
Sure enough, somewhere down the way, that one clip,
that eight minute long clip of me seeing Ben and Jerry
for the very first time and holding these guys
and everything, I deleted it.
It's gone.
I mean I can't find it.
It's literally.
I have the clip that just saw, that we were there.
We said, let's go look at Ben and Jerry,
and then I have the next clip that I'm gonna show you
after this, of me coming home
and actually putting Ben and Jerry in the cage.
And all of that other raw emotion is just gone.
It's such a bummer to me, because as much as I wanna share
that experience with you guys, and all that stuff,
it's also for me, you know.
I wanted to see and be able to live that experience again,
and always know that I could go back and look
at the first time that I ever looked at Ben and Jerry,
and what an amazing animal it was, and to see all that.
Unfortunately, because of a screw up on my part,
and it's 100 percent my fault, I deleted the clip.
And it's, again, because I have so much going on,
and I don't normally film two vlogs back to back like that.
It's normally each day is different.
So I was confused about footage, which footage went into
that vlog, which footage went into this vlog.
I had all kinds of things going on,
and somehow, that clip got lost.
And I deleted the card, and I never had captured
that one clip out of all the clips.
There was over 120 clips that we shot between the two days,
and literally that only clip that I don't have is
the eight minute clip of us
seeing Ben and Jerry for the first time.
So I know this vlog isn't that exciting,
cause I'm just sitting here talking to you,
showing you Ben and Jerry.
I mean, it's an amazing animal.
I'm so, so, so happy to have it,
but I wish I could have shared with you guys
that one moment that I can never relive again.
Oh, I'm heartbroken, guys.
I hope that you guys understand.
I apologize from the bottom of my heart,
that I'm not able to tell the story that I had in my head,
that I thought would be so incredible.
I hope that you still enjoyed this journey and everything.
As for now, I'm gonna go ahead and put you back to the clip
where I got home and showed Eric and put it away, so.
It's a beautiful snake, but man, what a bummer.
Just back, I can't wait to show you guys what we got!
- Whooo!
Oh my word!
- Are you excited, Eric?
- Yes, I can kind of see it.
Whoa!
- Oh, look at you!
- [Brian] Is that crazy or?
- Dude, it's massive.
- [Brian] Yeah, it's like a full grown adult.
- Wow!
It's huge.
- It looks like it has a smiley face on it.
- [Brian] I know, it's got a little smiley face,
and then it's got a little heart one of em on the one side.
- Oh my gosh.
- You wanna hold him?
- Yeah, sure!
- [Brian] Isn't it crazy?
- It's massive, isn't it?
- It is.
- Wow.
- Good investment this time.
- Yeah.
- [Brian] This time it was smart.
This time it was smart.
- Look at the little dual tongue action, I love that.
That is so cool.
- Okay, so they've been calling it Ben and Jerry.
- Oh, okay.
Not too bad.
- Yeah, that's not bad.
- I asked everyone in the comments to leave a comment,
to see if you'd like to keep it Ben and Jerry.
Should we change it?
I kind of like Ben and Jerry,
but I'm open for suggestions.
Yeah, look at that smiley face.
- That's so cool.
Dude, that is so crazy.
- Isn't it wild?
- It's so big, I've never.
- It's pretty too.
- It really is.
- Yeah, so that's awesome,
so there it is guys.
- Sweet.
- Alright, I'm gonna go ahead
and get it to the Reptarium,
and get it set up and get ready
for people to come and see it.
It's gonna be awesome.
And here we go, Ben and Jerry, or whatever
we're gonna be calling them, goes into their new cage.
There you go, bud.
There you go.
Oh my gosh, it's gonna be so amazing
when people come to see these guys.
Look at how incredible they are!
Oh my gosh.
And again, I think this is kind of the perfect spot.
It's kids level, they can see it as soon as you walk in,
it's one of the first cages right here.
And I think it's gonna be absolutely incredible.
I'm gonna let these guys settle in for a little bit.
Got a little bit of time before
people come in and actually look at them.
Probably not gonna take them out too much
over the next week or so, until they
really kind of settle in.
Get a meal.
Kind of get past all of that type of stuff,
but for now completely fine, settled in,
and I am so, so happy to finally have that dream
of having a two headed snake on display at the Reptarium.
Just for the record, guys, I know some people are thinking,
like, I can't believe that you would buy
another two headed snake.
Look at what happened to Cookies and Cream,
or Laverne and Shirley,
and it's like I mentioned in the past.
Couple things, number one,
there's a huge, huge difference between buying a baby
two headed snake and buying an adult two headed snake.
Once they're adults, they're pretty much bulletproof.
I'm not saying that nothing could happen down the road,
but typically, once they hit this age they're
gonna live for 10, 12, 15 years, whereas,
babies have like probably a 95 plus percent mortality rate.
So, will I ever buy a baby two headed snake again?
Probably not.
But I am completely happy with this
decision to buy Ben and Jerry.
And hey, in the end, I'm the one that's taking the risk.
If I'm willing to take that risk, you know,
you guys shouldn't be upset about it.
I think it's gonna be amazing.
I think it's gonna turn out well.
And I couldn't be more happy.
And with that said, I'm gonna go ahead and end the blog,
and ask you guys.
What do you think?
Let me know down in the comments what you think about
this newest acquisition.
Did I make the right decision?
Do you think I'm crazy?
Are you interested in seeing it sometime in person?
Let me know and I hope that you guys have an amazing day.
As always, your support means the world to me,
and I do love you guys so much.
Do me a couple favors before we get out of here.
Can you smash that like button for my two headed snake?
Can you turn those post notifications on,
so you know when I upload a video?
Make sure to comment down below,
because I love reading about you guys.
Be kind to someone today, and I promise
I will see you guys tomorrow.
