- Hey, good morning everybody, and welcome to the vlog.
For you guys that love egg cutting, well, guess what?
We're just gonna jump into it right here.
We got other things going on today,
but I am gonna jump into this first clutch,
which is a pastel bred to a pastel kingspin.
Of course pastel kingspin would be pastel,
it'd Lesser, it'd be Spider, it'd be pinstripe.
And actually it's het Russo as well,
so the truth is, there's all kinds of stuff going on.
Let's go ahead and jump into this first egg,
and see what we got.
There could be some crazy cool stuff in here.
Whoo, it's a really pretty animal.
You know what this is here?
This is actually a pastel.
It's a spider and it's a het Russo,
and it looks to be a yellow belly too.
So throw in yellow belly into the mix too.
I thought that the male might be a yellow belly.
Oh, and by the way,
before we start with cutting anymore eggs,
I wanted to point out,
this egg right here actually started pipping this morning.
I brought the eggs over to cut,
and I opened up the thing and it's pipping out.
So, again, we only cut eggs
when they're about ready to hatch,
within a day, two tops.
So this egg, actually, is already hatching.
But we're gonna go ahead and jump into this egg first.
And then we'll tackle that one.
See what kinda feisty monkey is in there.
What do we have?
Ooh, it looks like, all right.
So this one looks like the exact same snake
as the one before, minus the pastel.
So it's a spider het Russo,
and I think that that's it.
But wow, that is amazing!
This one doesn't look to have yellow belly in it,
but ooh doggy, that's a pretty snake.
I tell you, that het Russo
and spider really is incredible together.
So we're gonna go ahead and now cut the egg
that already started to cut on its own,
and see what kinda monkey is in this one.
Looks like this is a pastel pinstripe,
which they would call a lemonblast.
So not really crazy,
but nevertheless, still really pretty.
And that one, like I said, already pipped,
so it should be out anytime.
Egg number four.
Let's see what we got.
I'm hoping that we can get some pastel kingspin stuff,
and maybe even some super pastel kingspin stuff.
It's really weird to actually hit, like what looks to be
a spider-ish.
No, there's something else.
Maybe this is a spider Russo too.
Just looks so radically different then the other one.
I'm not sure.
Until this one comes out of the egg,
I'm not sure exactly what it is.
But, we have been missing on the pastel lot
a little bit, which is really weird,
but we'll jump into these next.
We still have a handful of eggs left to go.
Ooo, and right off the rip,
this one is looking beautiful.
Hoo hoo, hoo hoo!
Oh yeah, this is it!
This is all of the genes together, guys.
So this is a super pastel kingspin,
which has all of the genes that both Mom and Dad had.
So that's it.
I mean that's what you always shoot for
when you're cutting a clutch
is to get at least one animal
that is combined with all of the genes
so I couldn't be more happy,
and we still have three eggs left.
Go ahead and jump into this one really quick.
What do we have here?
Could we be so lucky to get something else amazing?
Whoo, this is interesting.
Now this looks like maybe just a super pastel,
because again, there's pastel on the male
and the female side.
Looks like we just hit a super pastel.
Might be some yellow belly in there.
Not sure until it hatches out.
Second from last egg.
Let's see what we got.
Whoo, it's a really pretty one.
Looks to be probably a killer bee,
which is a super pastel spider ball python.
Yes, it might be a really pretty bumblebee,
maybe even a bumblebee yellow belly.
Till it crawls out, we're not gonna be 100% sure.
Last egg, and come on,
let's get another one of those crazy yellow ones
like the combination of all the genes.
Okay, well we didn't hit that,
but we did hit something really beautiful in here.
It actually looks like it is probably a killer bee,
which is a super pastel spider.
And probably a het Russo as well.
Very pretty animal, definitely love it,
so all in all, guys, I think we hit
amazing animals in this clutch.
Not a lot of low-end stuff.
Really kinda multiple genes on everything,
so this was a really good clutch.
I have one more clutch to cut,
before we get to the rest of our day.
And crazy enough, guys,
I opened up this box, and sure enough,
there's a little nose pipping out in this one too!
So that tells you how ready these clutches are.
This is actually just a pastel female,
bred to a woma lesser pinstripe,
so we could potentially get four-gened animals
if we are so lucky.
We only have four eggs,
so who knows what's gonna be in here?
I'm gonna go ahead and cut the first egg,
and we'll go to that little ambitious one
that already pipped out.
So what do we have here?
Oh my gosh.
Right off of the rip,
we got a pastel woma lesser pinstripe.
Oh, it's an all-gene animal!
It's got all the genes in it are right there!
Oh my gosh, should I just stop now or what?
We have three more eggs to go.
I'm gonna go ahead and just take this little one here
that is trying to pip out, and I tell you what, guys,
I think I already see what's in here,
and this is actually pretty funny.
I mean, I'm sure it's just complete coincidence,
but remember the first clutch?
The animal that pipped out was a lemonblast,
a pastel pinstripe.
Well guess what?
The animal pipped out in this one
is lemonblast, a pastel pinstripe, so there you are.
You can make your own conclusions from that.
I don't know what that means.
Two more eggs to cut for the day.
Let's go ahead and see it.
I tell you what,
this has been a good day so far in egg cutting.
So what do we have here?
Okay, well this is probably the first one
that's a little bit of a letdown.
Still beautiful, it's just a normal pinstripe,
just a one-gene animal, a beautiful snake,
not unhappy because you guys know I have a history
with pinstripes, so I absolutely love 'em.
Last egg, and let's hope this'll be a ripper!
Come on, little buddy, let's see what you got in here.
Let's see.
Oh my gosh!
What's the chance of that?
Another normal pinstripe, so all in all,
still an amazing day with the two clutches we cut,
we hit all-gene animals, at least one in each clutch,
which is absolutely incredible,
and then we hit a bunch of great combos,
so I tell what, amazing day, I hope that you guys
are still enjoying the egg cutting.
Let me know in the comments,
and let's move on with the rest of our day.
We have our first batch of 2019 geckos going out today.
I know, Jessica, you're very happy about this.
- Oh my God, yeah, we were about to run out of space.
- I know, literally!
It's 'cause we've got 100 normals and 100 fancies.
And fancies are the Tremper Albinos, Murphy Patternless,
Mack Snows, stuff like that,
so we supply some people that supply the pet shops,
and this particular guy supplies Mom and Pop shops
around the southeast part of the country,
and he wants 100 and 100, so we got 200 geckos going out.
You've got your work cut out for you.
- Yeah, but it'll at least make our work this week
a little bit lighter, so--
- Exactly, because we literally are almost out of space
in this rack right here,
so we'll free up 200 slots
and probably have 200 babies hatching,
so anyways, I'll let Jessica go ahead and pack up.
(electronic music)
- And Jessica's all done with the packing
of all these leopard geckos.
There's 100 beautiful normals.
I tell you what, some of these normals are really beautiful.
I mean you can tell there's some hypos,
there's some tangerine ones that are really cool in here.
Some cool patterns, which is awesome,
and then these are all the fancies.
Again, Tremper Albinos, Murphy Patternless,
stuff like that.
So Jessica did a great job of packing these guys.
Now we put these in a styro-lined box.
If it gets hot, we put a cool pack.
If it's cold during certain times of the year,
we put a heat pack.
Today we'll actually probably have to put
either a cryopack or a cold pack in it,
'cause it's pretty warm here,
and these guys are going to Florida,
where it's gonna be really warm.
Just pack these guys up,
and they'll be where their destination is
just in a handful of hours.
I've got a tour in the house.
How are you guys?
- [All] Good.
- [Brian] Aw, thank you, where are you from, first of all?
- Connecticut.
- [Brian] Connecticut?
Oh my gosh, and who's excited?
- Me.
- [Brian] You, what's your name, buddy?
- My name's Brian.
- [Brian] Brian?
Oh my gosh, I like your name, buddy.
You're really good, so all right,
we're gonna have a good time today, all right?
All right, buddy.
(electronic music)
All right, so I am done with my tour for the day,
but guess who has a tour?
- We do. - You guys excited?
- Oh yeah, always excited. - You getting better at this?
Because I've been getting lots of complaints.
- No, not true. - That's a lie.
- That is not true.
People actually do love your tour.
I just feel bad that people book you instead of me.
- Hey, I feel bad, I'm sorry. - Sorry.
- No, actually I'm super happy
because these guys do a great job.
It gives me a chance to go do other things.
I think your tour is actually here.
Are you ready to go see 'em?
- Yeah, let's do this. - Let's go check 'em out.
- 'Sup, guys?
- Hey, how are you guys?
- Hey, hey! - Hey, hey.
- What's happenin'?
- Nice to meet you, I'm Noah.
- Nice to meet you, I'm Heather.
- Good to meet you.
Noah. - Brian.
- Nice to meet you, Brian.
- Eric, pleasure, man. - I'm Brian.
- Hi. - Heather?
How are you guys doin'?
- This is Bella.
- It's nice to meet you. - We got a Bella too!
- Ava.
- Ava?
- And that one's Tofer.
- [Noah] High five?
- [Heather] That's the one you gotta watch out for.
- All right, yeah, a wild guy, huh?
- Tofer, what's up, buddy?
What's up, man?
(laughing)
- He's scared. - It's the beard.
It's the beard.
- Well no, 'cause look at Dad!
(laughing)
- I might look a little scarier though.
- [Noah] Where are you guys from?
- Witchita, Kansas.
- Witchita, Kansas!
- Yeah, thanks for coming all the way out!
- Let's check on this tour, see what's goin' on.
You guys so happy?
- Yeah.
- Oh yeah, it's amazing.
- You made the right decision with Noah and Eric?
'Cause I don't know if--
(all laughing)
Did they tell you about the Artemis Prime thing yet?
- No.
- Oh, I told them that I had something special planned.
- Okay, we won't say anything more then.
- It's coming up, it's coming up.
- It's coming up.
(electronic music)
Down in the dungeon with Kelsey,
and this is probably what I betcha,
Kelsey, this is your favorite clutch, probably.
- Yes.
- I knew it was 'cause Kelsey absolutely loves
Lori ball pythons, and guess what we have?
A Lori ball python clutch!
Let's go ahead and just look
and see what she's got goin' on.
- Yes.
- And this is a super Lori pen, right?
- Yes.
- Whoo, she's got some good eggs,
but she's all over the place.
This is kind of a smaller girl,
so she's not very big,
but we got a couple good eggs here.
We'll set them aside really quick,
get them in here, definitely gonna have to candle those
to make sure the embryo's on the right side,
and let's see what this mama has gone--
oh, wow!
She has way more eggs-- - Wow!
- Than I expected!
And of course, this is a super Lori pinstripe,
bred to a Lori ball python, so on average,
half the babies are gonna be super Lori,
plus half the babies are gonna be pinstripes.
In theory, one in three babies
are gonna be super Lori pins.
One in three babies are gonna be super Loris,
and one in three babies'll be Loris,
if that makes any sense.
Regardless, that is a great clutch.
We've got two, four, six eggs.
I'll be honest with you, Kelsey,
I figured she was gonna lay like four eggs, so--
- Oh yeah, me too, I'm surprised.
- So that is awesome.
Time is ticking, guys, we have 57 days or so
till we cut this clutch.
Absolutely exciting, that's the only ball python clutch.
I think we about 25 more clutches to be laid this year,
so as always, great job.
(bell dings)
I've got Lori with me,
because we actually had this clutch of corn snakes
that hatched, and I'm a little bit confused
about what this particular snake is.
It's a scaleless, but I'm so not sure.
This was a hypo bloodred possible plasma,
possible scaleless, bred to a het hypo plasma het scaleless.
So it's not that unusual that there would be a scaleless.
The thing that I don't understand is what else is goin' on.
It looks like these are just hypos.
Looks like this one down here is a hypo lavender.
Don't you think that's a hypo lavender?
- Yeah, that one definitely is here.
- [Brian] So what do you think the scaleless is?
I mean, does it look like maybe a diffused maybe?
- It's so hard to tell.
Sometimes we have to wait
even until they do at least their first shed
to really see the true coloration in it,
but yeah, looking at the sides--
- [Brian] It's gotta be a diffused.
- Yeah, looking at the sides,
it definitely has that diffused gene going on in it.
- But definitely no lavender or no hypo.
- I don't see any lavender yet.
We'll just have to see the color better once it sheds,
'cause it could be hypo,
and I don't see any lavender right now,
but maybe it'll be more lavendery looking once it sheds.
- Yeah, I don't think
it definitely doesn't look lavendery to me,
but that's a pretty cool clutch.
Just kinda weird how a lot of these things
have been happening where we get a whole clutch of normals
and then just one scaleless.
It's kind of weird odds,
so this whole clutch was almost hatched out,
and then when I saw the scaleless,
I was like, what's going on?
By the way, there's still one more, two more,
three more eggs to hatch,
so who knows what'll be in those eggs,
but anyways, really cool results, huh?
- Yeah, I'm really loving all these new corns
and seeing what we're popping out
and proving out gene and everything in it,
so this is a lot of fun.
- And that concludes the vlog for the day,
and I hope that you're still enjoying the egg cutting.
Hope you're not getting bored with it.
We got a bunch of really cool clutches coming.
I wanna be able to share.
Let me know in the comments if that's okay with you.
Have a wonderful day.
Be kind to someone,
and I promise I'll see you guys tomorrow.
