- This is my giant anaconda Ivy, and I've done a bunch
of internet research on how long these guys
can actually hold their breath underwater.
(upbeat music)
What do you say we put it to the test?
And this is a 20 pound frozen pig,
and I can tell you this:
I've seen her eat this underwater
and hold her breath for a lot longer than 10 minutes.
So I think this is the perfect way to put it to the test.
What do you say?
We see if Ivy wants to eat this pig
and go ahead and time it.
All right, let's go.
Okay Ivy, you ready girl?
You want to try to eat a big meal?
Come on, girl.
Here you go. Come on.
Oh, there you go, girl.
Oh, there she goes, and into the water she goes.
And again, now listen, the time doesn't start now
because the truth is she's going to be down here,
she's going to actually start mapping that
up where she actually kind of goes around,
sniffs it, comes up, takes a breath there and go down,
Sniff sniff sniff, takes a breath there.
The clock is actually going to start when she starts to eat,
because once she starts to eat,
she will not stop eating until it's completely done.
That's where we're going to find
out how long this anaconda could actually hold her breath.
So as you can see, she just let go of the pig.
Now what's going to happen is she's going to
start to slowly kind of snipper out,
taking breaths every now and then.
So again, we won't start that clock
until she's a hundred percent going.
This may take 10 minutes.
It may take an hour.
But the fact is is we will start that clock
as soon as she starts to eat.
(upbeat music)
We are 25 minutes in and she's yet to eat,
but she keeps coming up for air.
Again, what she'll do after she maps this entire pig
is she'll take one last breath, come down, open her mouth,
And then she crushes it.
And at that point, the timer starts
and we're going to find out how long she holds her breath.
We're now 45 minutes into it, and she keeps grabbing the ear
and trying to eat it from the ear.
She'll eventually get it.
She lets go and she'll eventually get that snout.
But yeah, this process takes a little bit of time.
(air whooshing)
She's finally taken it!
So the timer starts now.
Great. Just feed the little monsters here.
Of course, Salty is ready to go.
Whoa, Salt, Whoa.
Calm down girl.
Come on, girl.
Calm down.
Come on, there you go.
All right.
Get back in. Get back in.
Let me feed Pepper. Pepper here.
There we go.
Salt! What are you doing?
Get back in there. Get back in there. You silly!
Oh my gosh. Salt, you're such a piggy!
Yeah, she has definitely become a pig.
Come on, Pepper. I want Pepper to eat too.
Hey! Hey hey hey hey hey!
Okay! Back in, back in!
Pepper, come here.
Pepper! Salt, easy! Come here Pepper.
No, Salty!
Oh my god, she has eaten them all.
Here pepper. There you go, buddy.
I'll tell you what, this little girl here
has just become such a pig!
Pepper isn't getting anything!
So I'm going to give one last one to Pepper here.
Come here Pepper. Don't bite your tongue.
Salty, get back in there.
All right. I guess salt, my piggy here,
you can get the last one.
Good job girl. Thank you baby.
You're such a good girl. You're such a good girl!
I tell you, these guys are getting to be monsters.
So it's been 10 minutes
and she's probably just got about 20% of the pig down
which means that the internet wasn't right.
It's already been 10 minutes
and she's still got a long way to go.
Turns out that the internet isn't always right.
- Well he had long hair that was yellowish, right?
- Oh. And by the way, welcome to the blog, Reptile Army.
I hope the start of your day is amazing.
I'm pretty excited
because the weather is starting to get nice outside
and we can start taking our animals outside,
like we did with Salt.
So I'm going to do some adventures pretty soon
with my guy Elvis, take him outside and do some things.
So I need to know from you guys down in the comments,
do you want to:
A. see Elvis go to PetSmart, just like we did with Salty?
B. do you want to see him go to the beach?
C. do you want to see him go to an outdoor mall
where we can walk around,
where there's a dog park and stuff like that?
We won't take him in the dog park.
You're allowed to walk your dog at the outdoor mall,
So do we take Ellis and go do one of those three things?
I don't know, what other adventures down
below you'd like to see me do with Elvis this summer too,
so you guys are part of the decision-making.
Let me know what you want,
A, B, C, or other. Let me know.
You guys know I've been excited about the Reptile Army,
And I appreciate you guys, part of the Reptile Army,
We're about to launch in about 7 to 10 days.
So if you want to join
you can actually email us at join@reptilearmy.com.
Get on the mailing list.
You can also follow us on social media,
it's going to be great,
We're going to be launching pretty soon.
- So my dad's always saying that Jimmy has a big attitude.
Let's put it to the test.
Oh ho ho, lady, Jimmy boy, Jimmy boy, calm down, Jimmy,
calm down now.
All right. I don't think my dad was overreacting.
Holy cow. Look at him.
I've never seen a snake just hold his mouth open like that.
- What the, does he have a helmet on?
- Shh, what are you doing?
(laughing)
What are you doing? I'm working here.
Ooh! (moaning)
I feel like I'm not equipped to do this.
- Oh oh oh oh!
- You got him! You got him.
(screaming)
- Oh my goodness.
- I can't. I just freeze.
- You don't even have a helmet on, you're crazy.
- I don't have a helmet on or long sleeves.
Take him back, please. Please take him.
(gasp) Oh my God, Noah take him back!
- I'm trying, I'm trying.
- Noah, please take him back.
- I'm try--
- Noah, please take him back!
- I'm try--
- Stop. (screaming)
(both laughing)
All right guys, I think we cracked the case here.
Jimmy is definitely a handful.
Oh, don't bite me in the face.
(clock ticking)
- Ivy is now halfway through it,
and it's been over 20 minutes without her taking a breath.
So we have shattered the Internet's thing
of 10 minutes for sure.
And she's still got a half a pig to go.
- [Jay] You have to get his head in there.
- Go in, dude!
- [Jay] Just get him in there, I got him.
- I'm trying, but like I don't know...
- [Jay] Yeah, no, just put him in the tub.
- [Noah] That's how you do the cobras,
but you can tell these guys aren't as smart as cobras.
- You guys you're killing me. I don't like doing this.
This is Judy the gooty sapphire tarantula.
Not a fan of spiders, but that's okay.
- This thing's lightning fast, and very dangerous.
- Very dangerous, yes. If you get bit by sure,
you're going to the hospital,
it might not kill you.
But some people say they wish they were dead.
So, Oh God. I'm so scared.
Oh, my hand is in the cage. She is right there.
Oh.
Oh she didn't take it.
Oh no, no, no, no.
The worm is going underneath some cork bark
in her enclosure, and I can't get through it.
Oh wait.
Did we just get lucky?
I think she just grabbed the dude.
That is good enough for me!
- Today's the first day I'm going to be looking
for leopard gecko eggs.
I did find some slugs last week and I'm expecting a lot
of slugs this week, but hopefully we should find
at least a couple of cups worth of eggs.
Maybe like 12 or so.
So, these are the first good eggs of the year!
I'm excited!
They're from our hypo bells,
they're bell, white, and yellow too.
So they're going to be beautiful.
- We ended up with just 23 slugs and 47 eggs
which is actually pretty good.
It's a little better than I was expecting.
I saved a couple of slugs.
We're going to go train, feed the ackies.
At the beginning of the leopard gecko season,
we usually have a lot of slug eggs.
And instead of wasting them,
sometimes we'll just feed them up to animals,
especially the monitors.
Eggs are a great source of protein
and it's a natural part of their diets.
So why waste the slugs when something will eat them?
- Dude, just go away, dude! - [Jay] Dude, Noah.
Come on, Jimmy!
- [Jay] Be better.
- Whoa!
- He'll definitely bite you.
- She's now getting close to the end,
and we are 40 minutes
into her being underwater without breathing.
All she has is the very last bit to go.
Hey, don't forget to go to the reptarium.com
and you can get your coloring book for only $10.
If you will go ahead and color it,
tag me @SnakeBytesTV on Instagram.
I'll share my favorite ones and the real good ones,
I may even send you guys a care package.
One of my favorite things to do down here in the dungeon
of course is to feed my boy, RJ.
And I always envisioned in my head like, you know,
what's he going to look like when he's over at 3.0 or 4.0,
and we can actually feed him, for people, doing shows.
Come up, bud!
Here you go, buddy. Here you go bud.
He is so awesome.
I told you, he loves chicken legs.
There's no doubt about it.
And that's the thing I think of like,
yo, can we do some kind of cool shows with him?
Whoa-oh!
He was up like that.
See how he's coming up like that?
That's what I want because in 4.0,
when he's upstairs in that room,
we're going to actually have him
come up on land and interact with him,
and let people throw food into his mouth.
Here you go bud.
Whoa. I tell you, he's definitely fired up
and look at how cool he is!
He's just chopping them down,
Like, "Keep them coming dad!"
So I just think
that that could be really cool as an experience.
Come on buddy. Come on up here!
Oh, there you go, bud.
There you go. Good job.
You know, think about that.
If this is like water, there's a waterfall or something,
but then there's land that he can kind of climb up on it,
and a door that I could open
so he can come right up to that,
And then when he comes up,
people can actually throw food in his mouth.
That is going to be absolutely incredible,
and I think it's going to be an amazing experience.
Come on bud!
One more and over here, over here, over here,
there you go buddy, there you go.
Oh my gosh.
Oh, there is just nothing cooler
than having an alligator like this.
I mean, how awesome is that?
And again,
he's kind of getting bigger and bigger for this time.
So he's okay for now,
but pretty soon he's probably going to start to outgrow it.
No doubt about it.
There you go, bud. One last piece.
I think he's going to be happy after that.
That's right buddy.
So he's going to need a much larger enclosure,
and that enclosure is literally going to be
like 20 foot long.
Look at him chomp on that!
Oh my gosh. Oh, you hear those bones crunching?
Ooh, definitely. Oh my god,
Don't want to get my hand ever caught in there.
So we're going to be safe,
but it's going to be absolutely incredible.
And RJ, buddy, I love you to death, boy.
- [Noah] Jay, help me out.
- All right. So what you want to do,
is you want to go underneath...
- [Noah] (laughs) I don't believe that.
- Jimmy's a very interesting snake.
Okay, so here, I'll distract him here.
- [Noah] Oh, he's coming for the hand!
Push him in! And close him...
(laughing) Jimmy, Jimmy, come on Jimmy, go on!
Dude, why you shoving a phone in his mouth?
- [Jay] Didn't work. (laughter)
- You can see she's finally finishing up.
Now she's got to work it down her body,
we're at 45 minutes since the time she took her last breath.
Now she just has to move it down.
The interesting thing is, you think at this point
she'd want to climb up and take a breath.
But the truth is,
now she may go another four or five minutes
before she actually takes a breath.
This is just shattering the whole idea
that anacondas can only hold a breath for 10 minutes.
I'm betting this is a shirt.
- That you just cut.
- Ooh, I did cut it off. No I didn't.
(woman laughing)
I didn't cut it.
- Now it's a no sleeve...
- No, I like it though, I like it!
No guts, no glory.
- (laughter) Oh, that's hilarious.
- That's actually good. - A flinging crestie.
- That's a good one!
- It is true, they're just like, "Whoo!"
All out when they go.
- It's an extra large though.
Guys, I wear larges, just so you guys know.
I appreciate this so much,
but someone else will have to wear this one.
- Ooh, ooh, ooh! - You can fill it out.
- No, I don't want to fill it out! (laughter)
(clock ticking)
- You can see she's pushed the pig down quite a bit.
And again, doesn't seem to be any hurry to take a breath.
She's just sitting here just like this.
Look at this, her tongue is coming out.
So we're now at 47 minutes people, 47 minutes.
And it seems like she's getting closer to being up
but she's in no hurry!
Let's just go ahead
and wait to see what she's going to do.
Again, I would think that she needs to breathe any time.
The first time we actually saw her eat a pig like this,
I was so stressed out that she was underwater for so long.
So this is absolutely terrible.
Look at, she doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all!
Going up? Nope. Still not.
Come on, girl, take a breath! No?
This is so bizarre.
I mean that's a whole long time
for an animal to hold their breath like that.
Again, doesn't seem to be in a hurry whatsoever.
And here she goes, she finally came up and took a breath,
look at that!
Unbelievable, almost 49 minutes without taking a breath.
That is incredible.
So take that internet, you guys were wrong!
- [Jay] Come on, man, you got a helmet on, you're all right!
Go go go go.
- All right, Jesus, that was crazy.
- That was good though. Teamwork, teamwork.
- Oh, yeah.
- Our little baby red-eared slider turtles that are
in the pond over here are certainly getting big,
and it's awesome to think
of aquatic animals holding their breath.
I mean, I guess anacondas aren't necessarily aquatic,
but they kind of are,
And it was really amazing to see that,
so take that internet!
