- Was Eric involved weighing?
- [Brian] Eric was involved.
- OK.
There's definitely room for error.
("Before Chill" by Yomotii)
- Oh!
("Before Chill" by Yomotii)
- So I'm in Lucy's cage right here,
and there's actually a reason why I'm in here.
She's over here, she's in check.
She's gonna be absolutely getting ready
to lay eggs as soon as she sheds out.
It's about 30 days from that point, but what I'm trying
to figure out is where is she gonna lay the eggs.
'Cause I really wanna build an egg box for her
so that I can actually take the eggs out
with as little stress as possible.
Some people actually suggested the fact
that maybe I should move her
to another cage back at BHB with the nest box.
But I think that's gonna be more stress
than leaving her in here.
I mean, I don't wanna stress her out.
It's comfortable in this cage,
so we're gonna leave her here.
She gets really, really moody when she's gravid.
Uh oh.
Now, you can s-
Whoa! Whoa!
Like I said, you've gotta be super careful
with her right now because she is unbelievably moody.
And what I wanna do is just find out,
is this gonna be the perfect spot for her with temperature.
So I wanna go and take
some temperature readings around here,
'cause I wanted her to be probably upper 80s.
Oh, she's cr-
Woo!
Come on girl.
You're OK.
You're OK, girl.
Alright.
You're alright, baby.
Oh my God.
She is in such a bad mood.
So basically what I wanna do is go around
and take some temperature readings in the cage.
It's 83 all the way over there,
so it's definitely gonna be a little bit cold there.
You're OK, sweetheart.
This side over here is 82.
I wanna shoot her first and see where she's at.
She's at about 86 degrees right where she's at right now,
which is good, but I'm gonna try
to see where she's actually laying underneath her.
Just to see if that's gonna be a similar temperature.
But it's definitely gonna be tough.
And then I'll have to somehow build an egg box
that's right around this spot
with her if I can get her.
So I just want her to move a little bit.
OK, girl.
Ooh, God.
She is in such a bad mood.
Just wanted her to move a little bit
so I can shoot the bottom of this cage right
where she's at right here so I can get a feeling.
OK, we've got 84 all the way up to 86 over here.
Right in that range, which is pretty good.
That probably tells me that's gonna be one
of the best spots.
Now, I- Ooh!
I didn't realize she was coming around this side.
I just wanna continue to shoot kinda all over the cage.
It looks like everywhere else is gonna be the low-
to mid-80s.
This is definitely the spot that she's gonna lay.
Now I've gotta somehow figure out
how I build a box that can fit right
into this level right here for her.
So that if I can do this triangle right here,
she lays in it,
somehow I could then probably pick her up off her eggs,
maybe, and then I could take the whole nest box out.
But I gotta be honest with you guys.
It's gonna be really tough.
There's no doubt about that.
Oh my gosh.
Look at her right now.
She is crazy.
But I think I'm pretty good here.
Now, I just really have to take a look at this and see.
I have no idea how I'm gonna get a box in this little area
where I'm pretty sure she's gonna lay at.
And then of course when I go in,
I'm gonna have to go in at her like this
to see if I can get her out of here.
But, (sighs).
I'm just tryin' to prepare the best I can.
Not only what's good for me,
but also what's gonna be good for Lucy and her eggs.
Alright, girl.
I'll let you kinda sit back here.
She definitely settlin' really good.
Let me know in the comments what you think.
Should I put a nest box here,
or should I just let her lay right on the ground
and give it a go?
I'm not 100% sure what's gonna be best.
I really thought the egg box was the way to go,
but the more I'm looking at I don't see
how I'm gonna get an egg box in there.
And again, taking her out
of here just doesn't seem like a good idea.
It's gonna be way more stress for that animal.
So I don't wanna do that to her.
She's happy in her cage.
So, alright.
I'm gonna let Lucy get back to it over here,
and, oh by the way, welcome to the vlog.
Oh! - Oh!
- I've been really curious what Sunrise and Casper weighs
because when people come into the Reptarium,
they're always asking me like,
"How much does it weigh?" - Every time.
- Sure.
And I typically say like 55, 60 pounds
for Casper. - OK.
- And then I say
like 60 pounds for Sunrise. - For Casper?
- Really? - Do you think it's less?
- I think it's more
for that guy. - No.
- For Casper? - I think Sunrise weighs more
than Casper.
No?
- Not me. - Maybe Sunrise.
I always tell people 35,
40 pounds. - I think Sunrise-
- So I'm way off. - 35, 40?
I think Casper might be, I don't really know.
- I haven't held Casper. - Alright.
- It's been a while. - I'm on 60 for Casper.
- 60?
- 60 for Sunrise.
- Both at 60?
I think at one point,
they did weigh the same,
but I think Casper is now
a lot less. - A lot less.
That's just my opinion.
Well, at least 10 pounds less,
but I don't know. - Well,
let's just go find out.
Let's go find out.
I'm gonna get Sunrise,
and then we'll weigh her up
and we'll see what it is.
That way, when people come to the Reptarium,
we can tell them exactly what they are.
So what we did was, I stepped on the scale
and I zeroed it out.
So my weight won't be on here,
so we'll get an accurate reading
of what she actually is with this.
What's it say?
- [Noah] It says thirty three pounds.
- [Eric] Dude!
- 33 pounds? - [Eric] Dude!
- There is no way that she weighs 33 pounds.
- You need to hit the gym.
- That's it.
- I knew it 'cause when I held her,
I'm like 35, 40. - 33 pounds only?
- [Noah] 33. - There is no way.
- That's crazy. - Retry that. Retry that.
- I don't know,
maybe that's wrong though. - I don't believe-
- Yeah, let's try it again.
That's gotta be wrong.
- [Noah] It doesn't make any sense.
- No way this is 35 pounds.
Let's try again. - That thing was
around my neck for 33 pounds and I just about-
- Yeah.
- It was like (mumbles) - Yeah. No, no.
Let's try again.
- OK.
- [Brian] Alright, you step on and you tare yourself out.
- Oh. Oh, OK.
- [Brian] Alright,
so you step on. - Get 'em off.
- [Brian] And then you zero out.
- Here.
- You can press zero. - Since I can't-
- And hold it. - And then you-
- Hold it. - There we go.
- There we go.
- OK. - Alright, good.
This is the moment of truth.
I swear to God, I will be tripping
out if this is only 30-something pounds.
But we're gonna find out right now.
- No way! It's-
- 33 pounds. - No way, man.
- What?
Oh my gosh. - That's pretty crazy.
- That snake there- - Oh, I got another pee pee!
(laughter) - Oh, no.
- Oh my god.
Sunrise only weighs 33 pounds. - That's crazy!
- I'm flipping out about this.
Alright, let's try Casper.
Let's see what Casper's about.
That's- - I can only imagine what-
- Like 15 pounds? 20 pounds?
- I'm thinking Casper's like- - (laughs) Yeah. 10?
- (laughs) Yeah!
- (laughs) I think Casper's like 27.
- Yeah, maybe. - That's gonna be my guess.
- (laughs) Yeah! Yeah!
- I'm blown away.
I don't even know what to say,
so let's go get Casper. - (laughs) Let's-
- Tell you what.
What this is tellin' me is that sometimes,
I think snakes are a lot heavier than they are.
I know that Lucy weighs a ton,
but I always think she weighs like 200 pounds.
Now I'm thinking she's only like 120 or something.
I'm not sure, but I'm not taking Lucy out.
Will you do it, Eric?
- Oh yeah!
Oh we'll do it as long as we can put her in a box.
- (laughs) No, no, no. (Noah laughs)
You gotta put her around your neck.
So here we go.
I mean Casper's longer,
but I just gotta believe he's a lot less.
26 and a half pounds. - No (laughs).
- [Noah] 27. Oh my God.
- How is that possible?
- [Eric] I just-
- [Noah] Look at how big of a snake that is.
I mean that's only 20 pounds? - That's tw-
I know. 27 pounds.
I mean, literally,
people hold this- - Yeah!
- And they're like, "Oh my God it's so heavy!"
- [Noah] You think so?
- Only 20 pounds!
- Lucy's probably 75 pounds.
- No (laughs). No.
(laughter)
Lucy is definitely, I think she's a hundred and somethin',
but she might- - She's gotta be a hundred
and something.
- Not be two hundred
though now. - No.
She's would, no. - I mean there's no way now.
Now, I mean I'm blown away.
Guys- - I don't-
- I don't know even know what to say.
All these years of keepin' snakes,
I think I've been va-
We're like fisherman.
We're vastly overestimating,
now. - Yeah!
- Yes. Yes (laughs) you are.
Yeah, they really are. - You can (laughs).
- OK well, let me know in the comments
if you guys were surprised by this too,
'cause I was absolutely blown away.
By the way, while you're down there,
why don't you smash that like button for me?
Hey, Lori.
- Yes.
- [Brian] Alright, so you always are
over at the Reptarium dealing with Sunrise,
and you're always saying how hard it is.
What do you think she weighs?
Casper too.
What do you think Sunrise weighs,
and what do you think Casper weighs?
- OK.
What do I think she weighs,
or what do we tell (laughs) everybody she weighs?
- [Brian] Yeah, what do you think she weighs?
You personally.
What you think.
- (sighs) I don't know.
I'm terrible with weights.
- [Brian] Well, I mean, is she-
- We tell everybody like 65 pounds.
- [Brian] Exactly.
So, guess what she actually weighs.
- What?
- [Brian] Do you think it's more than 65,
or less than 65?
- Can't be less.
I don't think it's less.
- Get this.
She weighs 33 pounds.
- Really?
- [Brian] 33!
- God.
- [Brian] That means it was off-
- That's like solid muscle, dead weight.
- That is unbelievable.
And for Lori, that goes to the gym,
that means it's one big plate and one small plate.
- Is that what it is?
- [Brian] That's what it is. (Lori laughs)
A big plate and a small plate.
So th- - Yeah.
But, you know what?
It's the distribution.
How long is she?
I think that's the problem. - I know.
I was blown away. - How long she is. That's-
- [Brian] And then guess Casper.
- Casper.
Well, OK.
Well, he's gotta weigh more than her.
Right?
- [Brian] I don't know.
What do you think?
- Well if she only that, I don't know.
Then what's he?
Like 45?
- [Brian] He is 27.
- He weighs less than her?
- He weighs less than her.
Isn't that crazy (laughs)?
I tell you what.
It's blowin' me away. - I don't believe it.
How did you do this?
- [Brian] We weighed it.
- With what?
- [Brain] On the scale.
- No, I just don't think that that's-
- Yeah.
I will say this.
There is a chance we could've screwed something up.
I have a really hard time believing she's only 33 pounds,
so we may have to revisit this.
Let me know if you guys think it.
I'm telling you what.
She is so heavy.
33 pounds is like nothing really to pick up.
I have a hard time believing it,
but let me know what you guys think
or if you have another suggestion of
how we can weigh it to where it's more accurate.
I don't know.
It's just crazy.
- I got a question.
Was Eric involved weighing?
- [Brian] Eric was involved.
- OK.
There's definitely room for error.
- What the heck.
If we're weighing stuff today,
we might as well go ahead and weigh Salt and Pepper.
It's been a few weeks since we've done it,
so they're definitely getting chunky for sure.
He was was 325 grams the last time.
I'm assuming Pepper had to have added a lot of weight.
And as you can see, he's added a little bit
of attitude as well.
He's still not bad.
I don't have to worry 'bout him.
But if you get your finger in that face,
he's probably gonna bite you a little bit.
So we're gonna do the best we can do not to do that.
And not to get anyone else bit.
He's definitely a handful.
Let's see how much he weighs.
("Before Chill" by Yomotii)
400 on the nose.
Look at that.
And he is so well behaving.
He normally flops around like crazy tryin' to get away.
So he gained 75 grams and he's in the 400 club now.
Let's go ahead and see what Salt weighs.
Then of course my girl Salt here,
who is a completely different animal than Pepper.
Not only is she unbelievably beautiful,
I love her to death, but she is also super calm.
And this is one of those animals
that I don't mind people handling.
because I really can trust her.
Again, I always tell people they are alligators.
We always have to be careful of their mouth.
As you can see, Salt is just absolutely such a puppy dog.
She is such a good animal.
And like I've always mentioned,
I think she's gonna be as tame,
if not tamer than RJ 'cause we work
with her literally every single day.
And as she gets bigger,
she's just gonna get better and better.
Regardless, she was 185 grams the last time.
Let's go ahead and see what she weighs now.
("Before Chill" by Yomotii)
245 grams.
That means she's gained 60 grams.
So Pepper gained 75, and she gained 60.
That is pretty darn good.
245 grams.
She's definitely putting on size.
To think when I got her, she was 55 grams.
So she has five timesed her size
in the amount of time I've had her.
What a gorgeous animal.
I can't wait 'til this thing is six or eight foot long.
She is gonna be a beauty for sure.
You guys may have seen,
both on my channel and Noah's channel,
that Eric has this famous trick.
Covers his face and he just literally goes for snakes,
and mean snakes miss every time.
- Dude, every time. - Every time.
- Every time.
- Every time. - It's science. We've-
- It's, yeah.
- Well, guess what?
Noah tried Eric's trick on his channel.
- Guess it only works for Eric.
- Yeah.
Here's just a l-
- Attacks are real.
- Here's a little clip of how that whole thing went.
- [Eric] Time it worked.
- (screaming) Ow! Ow!
- I'll go ahead and put the link in the description.
You guys can see how it didn't work out.
- How this happened. (Eric laughs)
- [Brian] Oh my God.
That doesn't look too good.
That looks like it's gonna bruise pretty bad.
Does it hurt?
- I love how you can see the-
- No, it doesn't hurt that bad.
- The teeth mark on there.
Pretty cool.
(laughter)
- Go ahead and check it out.
Eric said, what, we're three
for four with the hat trick though, so sort of-
- Yeah. I mean-
- That's 75%.
- That's 75%. - That's pretty good!
- That's better than most.
Tell you what, guys.
Our weather has been crazy here
for the last couple weeks.
Sometimes it feels like spring,
sometimes it feels like summer,
sometimes it feels like winter.
We had snow on the ground a few days ago,
but today is absolutely gorgeous.
I tell you what.
I love this.
I am definitely feelin' the spring comin' out.
Can't wait to get out and maybe catch some snakes.
I'll take you guys along on a couple
of my herping journeys this year.
Let's go ahead and get in the Reptarium.
I wonder if it'll be busy this year.
Or as the temperature warms up, will it slow down?
I have no idea.
Jessica's off work today, so she asked me
to switch all her male leopard geckos
into the new females' cages.
And she made it very clear
that I better not screw anything up.
So the pressure is on, guys.
Basically all I have to do is just take this animal,
and move it into the next cage.
If this one has this tag, and this one,
then I just kinda flop it like this.
Doesn't seem like it's that hard,
but when you do a bunch of 'em,
it's kinda easy to sometimes get off tracks.
Fingers crossed I don't screw this one up.
("Before Chill" by Yomotii)
Holy cow, guys.
That was a lot harder than I expected.
I mean there was a lot of really similar animals.
I mean, you gotta match white and yellow, heavy clips.
And down here, you've gotta match white and yellow,
striped, heavy clips.
So if I move the stripe into the wrong cage,
where I though it was just at,
oh my god.
I hope I didn't mess this up.
Not to mention, it's been a little time
since I identified male and female geckos.
They're pretty easy, quite frankly.
I'm just hoping
that Jessica doesn't find a bunch of mistakes (laughs).
Oh my god.
It was fun, though.
It's been a while since I've done it,
and I absolutely had a great time.
What a day, huh?
I mean I tell you what.
It was awesome to weigh those snakes.
Great to see Lucy that's only a month
or so away from laying eggs.
That is gonna be exciting.
A little treacherous, but absolutely exciting regardless.
I think I'm gonna go ahead and get out of the Reptarium.
As well as BHB.
Have a wonderful day.
I love you guys.
Be kind to someone.
I'll see you guys tomorrow.
