- And here's that clutch and one baby
actually just slithered out.
(laughing) - It's like stuck in my nose.
- What is it?
- Here, smell it. (retches)
- They pressured me into saying that.
No I can't do it.
All right, lemme do it.
Oh shoot, here we go.
Oh my gosh!
Ow, ow, ow!
What the hell?!
- Oh, where you goin', sweetie? Come back here!
Hey, good morning everybody, and welcome to the vlog.
Remember that really cool purplish kind of wild
mangrove snake that I think is probably a T+ albino?
Or at least I hope it's a T+ albino.
Well I noticed another one was pipped out this morning
so I think I'm gonna go ahead and
just cut the rest of the clutch,
see if we hatch any more T+ or purplish snakes
and start to kinda solve the mystery
of what this particular animal is.
I tell you what, it is absolutely incredible
and I always say that, you know, when you're producing
cool snakes, it's awesome.
But when you produce something that you didn't expect,
like an animal like this, it's incredible.
This was one of the craziest things
I think I've ever hatched that I didn't expect to hatch.
I thought they would all just be normal mangroves.
So what do you say we go ahead and cut
the rest of this clutch to see what's in it.
Oh my God, love this little snake.
Let's get over there and do it.
And here's that clutch and one baby actually
just slithered out and you can really tell this animal
is pretty much black with kind of yellow and red highlights
and stuff like that, it's not that purplish hue
that the other one is, which is really great.
So I think that there's two, four,
four or five more eggs to cut, not sure.
But anyways, we'll cut those and if we see
any more purplish animals, we'll know
that maybe there's for sure something genetic
or it could just have been that one particular animal.
Now the only thing that I'm a little bit concerned about
is it was a little bit smaller and sometimes
when an animal hatches small, it'll actually
develop pigment a week or so after it hatches.
But you can see this baby here is definitely black,
definitely not got that purple look to it.
So I'm gonna set this one aside.
We're gonna go ahead and cut the rest of these eggs
and just see if we see anything that can tell us
is that a mutation, is it actually a T+?
This was the actual egg that that animal came out of.
This egg here was the one that just hatched over here.
So we have again, four more eggs to tell.
If I cut one of these, there's a purplish animal,
that means we hit two of 'em in the egg,
we definitely know it's an albino.
If we hit all black ones, we still think
there's a good chance it's an albino.
Let's just go ahead and jump in.
Obviously smaller eggs are a little bit more difficult
to cut so I'm just gonna go ahead and make a little tiny
slit in here and we're gonna see what we can see inside.
Let's see what we got here.
And the first one, let's see.
Oh they're so much more difficult than ball pythons,
that's for sure. But right off the rip, I can see this is a
very black snake, this has no purple in it whatsoever.
Definitely black, much like the one
that already hatched on it's own.
Gonna move on to this egg here,
and these guys are nice plump eggs
and they should be out of the egg.
Now that two babies have hatched of the six eggs,
we know that these ones should be hatching any day now.
So we're not cutting them too early
but we're definitely trying to get an idea
if we have another albino in here
or if the one we hatched is an albino.
Let's see, gosh these eggs are so tough
compared to a ball python.
I'm just tryin' to open up this egg right here.
Definitely another solid black snake
with those yellow and red bands,
definitely nothing unusual there.
So we've got to more eggs to either not hit an animal
that looks like a T+ albino or
hit more that look like T+ albinos.
Either way, let's go ahead and see
what we got in this egg.
Open this thing up right here,
oh, yup, definitely a black animal, no purple.
So again, if we don't hit any other purple animals,
that could be a good thing, too, right?
Because that tells me that that animal
is so radically different than the other ones
that there's a chance that we could've hit it.
And if this was a spontaneous production,
say heterozygous to heterozygous,
just out of spontaneous, that's how mutations
actually pop up.
It's the fact that you should get one in four,
we had six eggs, theoretically, we should get one or two.
The fact that we hatched one might be enough
to really tell the story, right?
But regardless, last egg, it's either gonna be
a solid black animal or it's gonna have some purple on it.
Let's see what we got.
All right, and looks again like a solid black animal
with some yellow and a little bit of red.
So that's actually pretty cool.
I was a little bit hoping that we'd get another purple one
because then we'd know for sure,
"Okay, this is a mutation."
But the fact that we got all black animals
tells me the same thing, that probably that one's
so radically different.
Like I'd mentioned, the only thing that could potentially
happen, will it develop pigment over
the next two or three days?
But I tell you what, I've had animals do that.
This one looks nothing like I've ever seen before.
I have a feeling we did hit the T+ albino.
But we did hit five normal black, yellow, and red
mangroves here.
So that's a good sign, too.
So we are super excited.
Once these guys hatch out, I'll keep you guys updated.
Once that animal goes through shed and it sheds out,
if it's still that purple color,
then we know that we spontaneously hit that animal.
I tell you what, how awesome is that?
Oh and by the way, we have one more clutch
of ball pythons to cut I think next week.
And then egg cutting will be done for the season.
And I just wanted to kinda compare again
the difference of the same clutch right here.
This is the one that just hatched out this morning
and this is the one that hatched out the other day.
You can see how kinda faint and phantomy it looks,
that purplish hue and stuff like that.
Now again, in all honesty, I've seen animals
that kinda hatch out a little hypo
and develop pigment as they get a week or two old.
But I just don't think it looks like this,
I mean they're not really that much different in size,
this one only hatched a day earlier.
So I have a pretty good idea that this one
is gonna keep this kinda purplish look
which again, I think is probably a T+ albino.
Nevertheless, I just wanted to compare these two together
so that you guys could see the radical difference
between siblings.
Halloween decorations are coming down at the Reptarium.
It's a bummer because it's one of my favorite holidays
and it's sad to see all of 'em go
but hey, we're on to Thanksgiving
and then, of course, Christmas.
But we did have a really cool event here where kids came,
just did some trick or treating, gave out candy.
So it was really cool, I'll just roll a little bit
that we filmed, it was one of the coolest nights
I can remember here at the Reptarium.
It's just cool, you know, we just have a little bit
of the time here where we just kinda open up
and let people come in.
It's never a charge or anything for Halloween.
We love Halloween so getting a chance to see
cool people like you
and just having fun, it's a nice little fun event
that I absolutely love.
(upbeat music)
All right, all the decorations are down.
Now we're on to decorating for Christmas here
in just a few weeks.
- I got some new fly catchers.
I thought I ordered 'em from Walmart
but apparently these are straight from China.
- [Brian] (laughing) Straight from China.
- Because I don't, this is the directions.
I'm not really sure.
- [Brian] Can you read that?
- Yeah I can translate it.
- [Brian] Yeah could you go ahead and tell.
- See that right there says "fly catcher."
- [Brian] Oh, okay.
- [Eric] I'll tell you that straight off the bat.
- And just so you guys know, this time of year,
sometimes we get flies in the Reptarium
because it's cool outside and the flies come in,
obviously, because it's warm in there.
Only lasts for a few weeks but we hate it over there.
So Lori ordered these, what the heck is that?
(all laugh)
- [Eric] Who is that?
- Is this the president of China? (laughing)
- I think that's hopefully the inventor.
- [Brian] I don't even understand
how this is supposed to work.
Do you put this in like, maybe under here
in some water maybe?
- [Eric] I don't know.
- [Brian] It's like a serum.
- I don't know because then look at this,
doesn't that look like something else?
- [Brian] That looks like, maybe it's
like soy sauce in there?
- I think it's soy sauce.
- That does look like soy sauce.
- [Eric] I'll find caviar.
- [Brian] So is there like two different things in here?
Like one's a sauce and one's a?
- I can't read it.
(all laughing)
It looks the same.
- But like how do you like get 'em out of there?
- [Brian] I have no idea but you obviously do that,
you put that there, but then what I don't understand
is, oh I see, then you put this on and the flies go in there
and they can't get out.
So obviously it's the smell of rotting flesh
is probably what this is.
- Yeah!
- I don't know that that's gonna be good.
- Okay so yeah, this was, this was good.
- Who is this guy?!
(all laugh)
- [Brian] Does anyone know who this is?
Anyone have any idea, comment below
if you know who that guy is right there.
In the mean time, we're gonna see if this works.
- What does it smell like?
- Not good.
- I can't get it out of my mouth!
It's like stuck in my nose.
- What is it?
- Here, smell it. (retching)
- Oh that smells gross.
(laughing)
(coughing)
- Is it the same?
- It's the same but worse.
- That's really bad.
- Same but worse?
- [Brian] Smell that, smell it.
- I can't, oh my gosh.
Don't smell it, dude.
- It's making me vomit.
- [Brian] Here, Noah, come here, smell it.
- I don't know.
- I don't think we can use this.
- Dude, smell it, just smell it.
Is it the same?
- [Brian] This is the other stuff.
(retching) - Oh, what was that reaction?
I'm not gonna smell it if he just did the (mimics retching).
What's it smell like?
- It stinks.
- We can't have everything smell.
- [Brian] Fifi likes it!
(all laugh)
- [Lori] She is a dog.
They do lick butt.
- [Eric] I was just kidding!
They pressured me into saying that.
I'm sorry.
- [Noah] My dad, he likes to put his little hand
above Arjay's mouth and go like "Ho ho, whoa ho".
- I think I can do it.
- [Noah] Dude!
That is so much confidence.
He says "I think I can do it."
(all laugh)
- He has a fast side motion.
- [Jay] Yeah don't hit him from the side.
Don't do the side, you will die.
- [Noah] I don't even know if this is a good idea.
- All right just film it.
- [Noah] Oh my God, be careful, Eric!
You're too slow. - No I can't do it.
All right let me do it. - Oh his nose is coming out.
- [Eric] Oh shoot, here we go.
- [Noah] Be slow!
(all exclaim)
Oh my God, Eric, don't do it!
Eric, this is an alligator!
- Okay, I'm done!
It was crazy, yeah!
(grunts)
I never felt so alive. - [Noah] Oh my God, dude.
- Yeah, thinkin' about gettin' a job at Gatorland.
(upbeat music)
- So, many of you guys know that we dust
the food for the leopard geckos next door
but we also do the same thing for all of our lizards
here at the Reptarium.
The powder that we use is actually three part vitamins
and one part calcium.
So not only do they get big and strong,
but it prevents metabolic bone disease, MBD.
So I'm gonna finish the rest of this up
and we're gonna go feed everybody.
(upbeat music)
- Big news, super big news I heard.
- [Noah] What?
- Baby mangroves have hatched.
- [Noah] That's true.
- I've gotta get my hands on one of these. Seriously.
- [Noah] Dude, check this out, have you seen this one?
- Yes I have. - [Noah] This is a special one
It's a special one.
- Okay, this is perfect.
Look at this one-
- [Woman] (screaming) Welcome to hell!
(suspenseful music)
- [Noah] Oh my gosh!
- Ow, ow, ow!
What the hell?!
- Eric!
(screams)
- Ouch!
Don't, I'm not a human shield!
- We don't even have any guns, dude, what is this?
- [Woman] Payback.
- [Noah] We never even shot you!
- [Eric] I only shot you once!
I only held you by gunpoint one time.
(nerf gun pops)
- [Noah] Ow!
- That was good, they duped us.
- [Lori] You guys gotta clean up all these nerf bullets!
- No, you're cleanin' 'em up!
- She tried to kill us.
- Got her!
- All right, guys, so I know Brian already
went over with you assist feeding some of our baby snakes
to get 'em starting to eat.
So now I'm gonna show you some of the babies
that are starting to eat all on their own.
We're gonna just get them up to weight
and on the website to find their forever home.
(upbeat music)
- I'm gonna end the vlog today with this girl here.
This, of course, is my Bredli's carpet python.
This is a female.
Now the Bredli's carpets are a big carpet python.
These guys and the coastals are the real giants
but the thing I love about the Bredli's
is the fact that they're typically super docile animals.
I love 'em and I love the color and everything about 'em.
These guys are from the red center,
the Alice Springs area and stuff like that.
Absolutely wonderful snakes.
I love this girl, I really need to show her off more
and hopefully, with any luck, maybe we can breed her
this year and have eggs.
She's never produced eggs but just look at this girl.
She is one big carpet python for sure.
Oh, where you goin', sweetie?
Come back here!
Oh my gosh.
