(soothing trap music)
- Hey, good morning everybody!
And welcome to the vlog!
I'm gonna start the day exciting as always.
Look at this!
A bunch of baby garter snakes!
But this is really cool.
This is actually a het granite garter snake bred
to an albino granite garter.
The weird thing is, is that there's hardly any albino.
But the truth is when it comes to these guys,
I actually prefer the normal granites
even over the albinos.
Don't get me wrong, I love the albino granites.
But, wow!
Look at this litter here!
There is a bunch of little babies.
What you say we just kind take these guys out
and see what we got.
Again it looks like we have two normal albino garter snakes.
That's the only albinos it looks like in this litter
but there's a bunch of granite.
So we got two albinos.
We got one, two, that's four with these two granites here.
Six, two more granites, that makes four granites.
Boy, I'm gonna confuse myself with these numbers.
This is eight, with two more granites.
So it looks like we've got six granites which is a total
of eight babies snakes.
And the rest look like they're just gonna
be double het for albino granite garter snakes.
So we're got eight, we've got 10 here.
Momma you did so good!
And she's not even biting me which is really nice.
So there's 10, 12!
Got 14!
16!
Woo!
18.
Oh god, there's another granite garter over here.
There's 18, it looks like 20 babies!
We'll just look around really quick.
20 babies so far, that brings up to seven granites,
two albinos and then a whole bunch of other ones.
So 20, oh there's another one!
21!
And oh look it, another granite over here.
22 babies with another granite garter over here.
Come on guys, get in there.
20, oh my gosh!
What an awesome litter!
Let's see if there's anything else.
All right.
Ope!
That's okay, momma.
Get back in there.
All right, so it looks like that's amazing.
And guess what?
We have another litter.
And the next litter is right beneath it.
Of course, it's another het albino granite.
Looks like we've got a couple more granites
but definitely looks like a pretty small litter.
She's definitely a small girl, first time girl
and it does look like we have a couple beautiful
little granites in here.
We've got just two granites,
looks like we have a normal back there.
Let's see if there's anything else in here.
This is a little albino granite right here.
You can really tell the difference
between the albino granites
and the normal albino checkereds.
You can kinda see the two together right there.
The granite's obviously just got way more pattern.
And then it looks like just one normal
double het albino garter.
And that looks like it's about it.
So it looks like there's only five babies.
An albino, a granite albino, two granites and a double het.
I'm just gonna look really quick
to make sure nothing's hiding under here.
Okay, momma.
That's awesome.
All right, tell you what.
I absolutely love producing garter snakes.
I mean, how cool is that
to start the day with a bunch of live babies.
I mean, it's so weird.
We hatch a ton of snake eggs
but there's just something different about opening up a cage
and seeing a bunch of live babies.
So a great way to start the day.
(soothing trap music)
This segment is for you bug lovers here.
Of course, Bruce came to me this morning
and it looks like at first glance
that maybe our big bird eater
looks like she's rolled over and dead.
But the truth is?
- Well, she actually just went through her molt cycle.
So she's actually like really cool
but unfortunately, she's a little hidden right now.
She's a little hard to see right now
but she is under this little tunnel right here.
She's got a really nice, I'm pretty sure
it's not even like startin' to dry yet.
It's actually a nice, soft one.
I even tried to pin it up so it would be really sweet.
We can even actually, potentially show
how we can gender them from the actual molt.
- [Brian] Cool, let's get that out of there
without getting bit please.
- Yes sir, I will definitely try.
- So and again, tarantulas the first few days
you don't wanna touch 'em, hold 'em, feed 'em,
anything after a molt.
And hopefully she's just gonna stay in there little area
and Bruce doesn't have to worry about anything else.
But he's being very careful not to make her mad.
And she looks like she's doing good.
And there is that incredible molt.
Oh my gosh!
- [Bruce] Look how soft too.
- Look at that! - Dude, it's perfect too.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh, look at that thing.
- [Bruce] Everything down to the head cap.
- That is crazy!
It's so creepy, isn't it?
It's so cool that she molted.
Look at the size of those fangs.
Ooh doggy!
- [Bruce] And if you look,
you can even see down to her spinnerets right here.
Oh my God, look they're huge!
- [Brian] Spinnerets at the end.
- [Bruce] Such a ginormous animal.
- Just look at the size of these legs.
Oh my gosh, and again, once she comes out
I'll show you guys how beautiful she looks.
Now, as you said, it's probably a day or two.
What incredible.
So is that good enough to see the sex thing or?
- Yes sir, actually I can show you real quick.
See if I can try and spread it out with my hand.
So you that little funny little flap right there?
- [Brian] Yes.
- If there was no flap there, it'd be a male.
And since there's a flap there, that's a female.
- Wow, that is awesome.
So although we already knew that this was a female,
it is now confirmed it's a female.
How awesome is that?
And how absolutely crazy is that molt?
You guys may remember when I talked about just trying
to make yourself look as professional as possible.
Lori did all of this stuff on our totes.
So it looks a little bit more wooden.
Jackie is with us,
she's the one that does a lot of the cool
signage that's in here.
You brought some stuff to put on here
that's like live reptiles, The Reptarium, this side up.
Just to kind of look more like this.
By the way, there the ones responsible
for this entire container here.
Lori, this is really your thing so what'd we gotta do?
- Put the stickers on the containers.
(laughing)
- Okay, so we gotta put the stickers on the containers.
(soothing trap music)
You get the idea of what they look like.
The Reptarium on this side, this end up here,
The Reptarium on this side and of course
live reptiles on this side.
It's just cool, right?
Cause it looks like almost we had the whole container
made for The Reptarium.
I mean it's awesome. - Exactly.
Yeah, it turned out amazing.
Couldn't be happier.
- [Brian] I know, I love it.
Jackie did an amazing job with it.
You just did a little bit of it.
- Just a little. (laughs) - All right, cool!
(upbeat trap jazz)
You guys know that we got this molt a little earlier
and I actually tried to scare Noah.
- Didn't work though.
- It worked.
But, I didn't film it!
So I'm thinking, wha'dya think about getting Eric?
- Yeah, sounds like a great plan.
Let's do it. - So I got this idea.
This snake was laying eggs earlier so maybe if I put
it in there, put this camera in there
and tell him to check it.
- I think it'll work.
- All right, let's go do this.
- Let's do this.
- [Eric] All right, here we are!
- [Brian] Okay, it's this snake right there.
So I'll put this right here.
Let's put this camera like right here.
Like that.
And let's go, let's go!
- [Eric] I haven't really checked out the--
Wanted to get back before Eric came in.
- So what I'll do
is I'll ask him to see if that churlish is done
and then hopefully it works out, I don't know.
I hope he acts a little braver than you did.
(scoffs)
- You have no proof.
- We just have one ball python clutch today
but it's a pretty cool one.
What was the breeding?
- It is a woma lesser pin female bred
to a banana super enchi pin.
- All right.
That's got some good potential.
So obviously everything's gonna be enchi
and you got the woma lesser pin, banana,
all kinds of all stuff.
Let's go ahead and see what she's got going on.
I love this girl.
Again I remember producing this girl's too.
Let's see what she's got going on here.
All right, all right.
Looks like we might have, oh yeah!
They're all, okay, couple weird looking eggs again.
But looks like they're all pretty good.
Help ya out there.
See what we got here real quick.
So again, we got some crazy boob eggs on the end
but they look like they might be okay.
We'll have to set 'em in and see what's going on with them.
It's a little bit weird but the other eggs,
look how long-- - These are long, yeah.
- [Brian] They're crazy.
- She never really like looked very plump.
So I figured they'd be huge eggs but really long.
- [Brian] They absolutely are.
So how many eggs do we have here?
- [Woman] One, two, three, four, five, six.
- Six eggs, not bad.
Again that one egg right here, a little unsure of.
But the other eggs look like they're gonna go really well.
A lot of really cool combination
potentials outta this clutch, so.
I know you have a ton to clean today
so I'm gonna let you get back to it.
Good job!
- Thank you.
- Course you guys know that it has been egg laying season.
And some of you guys are getting bored with it.
Although, I don't understand
because I'm never bored of collecting eggs.
But what comes after, snake egg season?
Snake hatch season!
And of course we have another couple clutches
of Children's pythons that just hatched out.
Unbelievable!
I mean, look at these cute little monkeys right here.
And I've told you guys the last time
that these are little dwarf pythons from Australia,
Antaresia childreni.
And they are absolutely stunning.
And look at just the polymorphism within 'em.
I mean, there's some darker ones, there's some lighter ones.
But this clutch is all hatched out.
And some of these are just so absolutely gorgeous.
And for those of your guys that are wondering what'll happen
is these'll shed probably within the next seven to 10 days.
And then after that, they've absorbed all of that yolk sack
which keeps 'em alive after they hatch
then they'll start eating.
So with any luck, we'll get two of three meals
into these guys, make sure that they're really established.
And then we can offer 'em up on the website.
And look at these guys.
Look at the polymorphism in this.
Really dark ones over here and then we got some that almost
look like hypomelanistic.
But of course they're not actually hypos but that just falls
in line with the variability of these animals.
And this is a huge clutch.
I think there was 15 babies that ended up hatching out here.
And these guys max out at like three foot length.
So they're not a big python.
But how absolutely wonderful.
And if anyone that's been following along in the vlog
knows that our first clutch were Children's pythons
but our second clutches were ball pythons.
I think our first ball python clutch
is less than two weeks away from us able to cut it,
so I am so excited for that.
And again we're still getting lots and lots eggs.
So the egg season is coming to an end
or at least towards the last quarter of egg laying.
But now hatch season is upon us.
And once again guys I actually had this happen
to me a couple months ago.
I brought it up on the vlog, I'm gonna bring it up again.
If a Facebook account with my name on it reaches out to you
and asks for money for support, it's not me!
Okay, I will never message you ever, anytime,
to get money for support.
Okay, so please don't fall for that.
If it isn't a Brian Barczyk with a blue check verified
account on Facebook, do not even respond.
It's a fake account.
I do not have a personal account.
There is no Brian Barczyk account except
for the one that has the verified blue check.
With that being said, it sucks that people do this.
But I don't want anyone to lose money on a fake account.
I promise you I will never message you asking for money.
Another thing we have to do today is get Daisy out.
She's started to shed and if you can see,
she messed her cage up.
There's shed in there.
In the back there, a really large turd.
So we're just gonna get her out, get her into to soak,
get her kind of cleaned up and stuff like that.
Thankfully she's just a sweetheart,
she's not like taking Lucy out.
So, we'll just go ahead and grab her up.
What's up girl?
How are you?
You okay?
Okay sweetheart.
(grunts) She is definitely a lot easier to handle for sure.
There ya go sweetie.
The one things that different between her though and Lucy
is that she doesn't typically really like the water.
So with Lucy, you can see she's kind of like darting,
she does not wanna go in the water.
Lucy loves the water and it's an easy way
to kinda get her to calm down.
With Daisy, you have to almost force her in it.
But as you can see, her shed is really not that good.
And she's always been that way.
I've talked about it in the past how bad she's been.
So we just have to kinda get her in there.
Usually I go tail first 'cause her head,
she'll continue to jump out.
But we'll just get her in here.
And this soak will be good for her.
She's looking absolutely amazing.
We're gonna feed her some rabbits
a little bit later this week.
And she is definitely a bear when it comes to this for sure.
(water splashing)
Okay, so that's all set.
Bruce's gonna get that cleaned up
and we're gonna get that cage all ready to go,
get her back in, move on to the next.
(soothing trap music)
- We like to do things big here at The Reptarium.
This looks like an elephant poop
but believe it or not this actually from Daisy.
(laughing)
(soothing trap music)
- All right, so we got everything cleaned up, ready to go.
Looks like her shed's pretty much all off and looking good.
Look at how gorgeous that snake looks after her shed.
I tell ya what, she is a beauty.
All right girl, come on, go back in.
And she actually did really well.
Like I mentioned, she usually doesn't really like the water
that much but in this case she seemed to do really good.
So she looks absolutely gorgeous.
Again just make sure
all the shed is off as she's going back in.
And later on this week we're gonna get some rabbits
in to all of our big snakes
including Lucy, Daisy, Butterscotch, all of 'em.
Gosh, she looks amazing!
Wow!
What a snake.
(ominous music)
- [Brian] Hey, that girl lay or no?
- [Eric] Let me check, let me check.
- [Brian] I'll be back in a second.
- [Eric] Okay.
- God dang it!
Oh my God, man!
You suck!
(Brian laughing)
Oh Jesus!
- Okay so, did it actually get you?
- Honestly, it's just that thing
where I know I don't have a big reaction.
My heart freezes and stop, okay.
I was wondering why you kept saying "Will you check that."
And I was like oh and started do it.
- I knew you knew something was going on
so I wasn't gonna be like oh, go check that right now
cause I knew he wouldn't know
so I let it go for like a half an hour.
- That's the sad part!
I had no clue.
I was just like oh he wants me to check it out.
Ah, heart stopper.
- Gotta be honest with you, Noah's reaction was so,
I can't believe I didn't film it.
But his reaction was way better.
So I do apologize for that.
- No, it's all fun and games.
- All right, good.
Just one coluber clutch today.
It's actually a het albino nelses.
She was laying earlier so I'mma gonna take a real quick peek
just to see if she's done laying.
Oh yeah, looks like she's done
and looks like she has a load of eggs.
Hoo doggy!
That is a big clutch right there.
Wow!
I'm just gonna set these aside over here
so she doesn't get into any trouble.
Looks like a couple little sluggers on that side.
But other than that looks great.
Momma looks great.
Set these eggs over here, take the shed out,
get some water in here.
And I know some people say, you always say put water
in there and you never put water.
Well we put water in later, okay.
But I say that just so you guys don't think
I'm not gonna put water in there.
Regardless she's bred to this male right here.
Which is a beautiful bullseye albino Nelson's milksnake.
Now that bullseye is actually a polygenic trait
meaning that they're gonna pass the kind of bullseyes.
Of course the albino's recessive, she's a het albino.
Half these babies should be albino,
half should be het albino
and there should be some bullseyes.
There's two, four, six, eight,
10, 11 good eggs, two slugs.
So that is a huge clutch for a Nelson or a Sinaloan.
I couldn't be more happy with that.
Awesome!
It may only be one clutch of eggs
but man that was a good one.
(soothing trap music)
