- So we're actually gonna weigh Gemma,
the new reticulated python.
We need some help.
Any guess?
Let's just do guesses.
- Oh, what did I say?
- 139.
- 145.
- 113.
- Oh, I think Noah's got it.
I'm gonna say 120. 120 pounds.
- Alright - [Brian] Alright.
You're holding it?
- [Mike] He has to. - I have to or else
anyone else would go over the scale.
- Oh my god.
Let's go. - Well Noah could do it too.
- I don't know.
I don't know how this is gonna work.
- I think that I should probably just stand there
and wait on you guys.
- Yeah you stand there and then you guys...
- We're gonna bring you all the work.
- Nah, I'll help you.
- [Brian] Yeah, Noah's gonna help.
- She is big.
- [Brian] She's a big girl.
Have you ever held her, Noah?
- Uh, no.
- [Brian] Oh my god. Oh I just noticed you shaved.
- I shaved a little chin off. I'm questioning the mustache.
- Let me know in the comments you guys,
should he keep the mustache,
or cut the mustache off?
- I mean, should I make it like a challenge,
like a one year, see how long I can grow it?
- Ooh, I don't know.
Let me know in the comments what you guys think.
Alright, let's get Gemma out.
- [Mike] Alright, let's go.
- [Brian] The hard part's gonna be getting Jay on it.
I don't know how Jay's gonna
'cause I held her up and it was like almost impossible.
But Jay's very, he's strong.
- [Mike] What up Jay!
- Jay's not strong! - What's taking so long?
- [Brian] The peanut gallery over there.
What's going on?
Alright, I'm helping out, guys, in spirit.
- Yeah.
- [Brian] Come on Gemma.
She's heavy, huh?
- Yeah. - Jay has it in for him.
- [Brian] I know, do you think he's gonna be able
to hold this by himself?
- No.
- [Jay] You guys just have to wrap it.
- [Assistant] You're gonna have to wrap him in it.
- [Brian] No, I think that if you put it on.
- You got it? - Yeah come on.
- [Brian] Now put that shoulder under it, man.
Put that shoulder under it!
- Okay, there you go.
- We're dealing with amateurs.
- [Brian] Okay, now you gotta hold this side
and now you gotta hold that side.
- Come on.
Okay now go. Run.
Run, Mike!
- [Mike] You good? - Yeah.
- [Mike] What do we got? - [All] 130!
139!
- 139?
I hit it on the head!
- [All] 140, 130!
- [Brian] It's all over the place.
It's 130.
- [All] 130!
- [Brian] You nailed it.
Or, no. Wait, no. (Noah laughing)
- It was me, it was me!
- [Brian] That was you? You said 130?
- I said 132 I think.
- [Noah] Let's roll with it. - [Mike] I said 140.
- [Brian] I did 120.
All right, so we're all pretty close.
130. Wow! A hundred...
- Can yo take it back? It's so heavy.
- [Brian] No, no, no. Keep going.
Keep going, keep going.
Let's talk a little bit. - Okay. Okay.
- [Brian] Let's have a little talk.
- What do you wanna talk about?
Tell me - [Brian] Let's talk about...
- some reticulated python facts.
- [Brian] Okay, reticulated pythons
come from the Philippines, Indonesia.
(Jay grunting)
They are the insular islands stay smaller.
This is a mainland animal that gets very large.
Obviously she's 130 pounds.
She could eventually one day get up to 200+ pounds.
She's only 16.5 foot.
Awe, you just gave it away.
- He's messing up.
- [Brian] She could get up to 25 foot.
Think about that, another nine foot of snake.
How big do you think that would be?
- nine foot? - 230 pounds.
- [Brian] 230 pounds?
(Jay laughing)
- [Brian] We'll check back when she gets another nine foot.
Good job guys. Way to go.
All right. Let's get it back.
- [Mike] Good job, Jay! Gosh, your hand is like...
- My hand was literally purple. Whoa.
It was literally purple.
- [Brian] You don't like Gemma?
- No, we had such good names like Macaroni.
- [Mike] He's been calling her Macaroni.
- Yeah, so what we have Macaroni,
we had Noodle, we had Adele, we had R. Kelly.
That was so good.
- [Brian] No. R. Kelly is not good, number one.
(Jay laughing) Number two, Gemma's good.
Gemma's good. - You're the boss.
- [Mike] You don't like any?
- I guess, but...
- [Brian] Come on.
- [Jay] Gemma?
- [Brian] Gemma is so good. - Noah, did you hear this?
- Yes. Way better than anything you've named
so let's go with it.
- I haven't named anything yet and we're not starting.
- What? - [Brian] Well, with the names
that you just threw out.
- Oh, I did name Bugatti, actually.
- [Brian] Yeah and the names you just.
- Basco or whatever the fuck.
- I named Bugatti.
- [Brian] Well the names you just threw out
like Noodle, Macaroni.
- None of those were my names.
Those were just names I was enforcing.
- [Brian] Oh okay. Gotcha. Well, do better.
- Okay.
(all laughing)
- And by the way, good morning, Reptile Army.
I hope the start of your day is absolutely incredible.
You know, head over to reptilearmy.com.
Join that army.
I appreciate you guys so much
and sometimes cool things come in small packages.
I'm pretty excited about this unboxing.
Let's go ahead and jump in.
(upbeat bass music) (knife slicing tape)
And I'm not going to lie to you guys.
I might be coming a little bit of a turtle addict.
I don't know what it is.
I just have started to love turtle.
And these are little turtles that I've always loved
and can finally say that we're going to add them
to the Reptarium.
And that is the Pink-Bellied Sideneck turtles.
That's right.
Take a look at these cute little monkeys right here.
Look at the cute little sideneck.
That's why they call them sideneck
'cause they go to the side.
Now, when it comes to the kind of long neck
or sideneck turtle,
these are some of the shorter necks
to be totally honest with you.
And a while back,
these guys were extremely rare.
They come from Papua New Guinea and Australia,
and up until people started breeding them in the U.S.,
they were extremely rare.
Now they're actually very common turtle
and they're really good pets.
The thing that's good about them
is they're typically very active
so they like to swim around.
They do like deeper water.
Some turtles like more shallow.
These guys can actually be in a deeper pond
so it'll workout perfect for our setups over here.
And they're just typically like any slider
or something like that.
They'll eat ReptoMin.
They'll eat some plant food.
They'll even eat a little bit of shrimp and stuff like that.
But they are absolutely cool.
So we just picked up six little babies right here.
Just look how cute there are.
Now, these guys are just youngsters right here
and they're going to get much, much larger.
tapping out at maybe like five to seven inches.
Something on that range.
Males will get a little bit longer
and also have a little bit fatter tails.
That's how you tell them part as babies.
You really can't tell to be totally honest with you.
Oh, look at that cute little face.
Like I said, every time I go down to Florida,
I become more and more turtle lover
'cause everyone down there
is keeping and breeding a bunch of turtles.
So I came back,
I saw some Pink-Bellied Sidenecks at a few facilities.
I was like,
I have to have them.
Look at this cute little monkey right here crawled out.
They are so adorable.
So again, we just got six of these little babies.
So we'll raise these up for a while
and then there'll be on display here at the Reptarium.
It'll be absolutely amazing.
Look at how absolutely adorable this one is,
sticking it's head out.
Oh my God. That is so cute.
(upbeat bass music)
- Come here, buddy.
Here flipper. Don't want it? There you go, man.
Come here. Come on.
Good job man.
(upbeat bass music)
You gonna take it from me?
I fed him like small pieces
that were about the size of his head,
and that's usually where I always feed him.
Ah. Crushing the bones and stuff.
- Yeah! Impressive, Waffles.
There you go, bud.
Yeah! There you go.
- There you go. Good. Good boy.
- Had to update you guys on these little monkeys right here.
These, of course, are the pied Mussurana rat snakes.
Again, when we got them,
they were a little tiny babies
and now they're getting so big.
Graduated to a little bit larger enclosure
and they're eating full-grown mice now.
I mean, they are great.
Now Mussurana rats can get really large.
They're a pretty large colubrid.
But look at the color and pattern on this.
Remember when they were little
they had a lot of red on them?
And now they've basically turned black and white
which is just absolutely amazing.
And of course, this is just the normal pied,
but take a look at this one here.
This is actually the super pied right here.
Of course, it's just the super version,
which is just high, high white.
I mean, it's just that kind of normal-ish head,
which is interesting because it hasn't turned black yet.
I don't know if it's still going to keep
that rusty color or not,
but of course it has that one spot on its back right there
that has turned predominantly black.
But what an absolute ripper of a snake.
Listen, the pieds and the super pieds
are absolutely wonderful,
but I'll be honest with you,
the normals are pretty dope too.
I mean, just take a look at that animal.
Again, it's pretty much a black snake,
but it's got that red kind of on the side.
That's really cool.
These guys remind me a little bit
of the red belly black snakes
that you find down in Australia
because they have that black color
with the red just on the belly like that.
I mean the Mussurana rats are absolutely wonderful.
Can't wait until these guys
get literally six or seven foot long.
Yep, on vacation for a couple of weeks.
Well, not quite a vacation.
We were working our butts off.
But the fact is the same thing's going on.
Matilda is still out
climbing around like a crazy monkey like she is.
And the fact that she actually broke her door this morning.
That's right.
That's how much I put a lock on it.
I was like, "Matilda, you can't just push your way up."
'cause look at her.
She is so destructive.
I love this tortoise,
but she is the most destructive thing in the world.
And sure enough, she literally broke the latch off,
pushing her way out
and actually even ripped one of the hinges off.
Gotta fix that door now.
It'll be okay, but Matilda,
I love you so much girl,
but you are definitely a absolute crazy monster.
And of course, when we do this expansion,
I'm going to make a giant exhibit for her
so she can have climbing areas,
lots more room and stuff like that.
But she's absolutely wonderful,
but boy oh boy, is she a handful?
- All right guys. So here we have it, Potato,
our Centralian blue tongued skink.
Looking good.
Okay. So yeah.
Potato is a lot of people's favorites
when they come to the zoo.
It's honestly amazing.
As you see, it just hangs out like a couch potato.
Say hi, Potato.
There you have it. Potato.
- Another clutch hatching and these look like latch Kings.
It surprised us.
We did not know there was albino genes
in the animals that we had,
but clearly there are
'cause we've got both albinos and normals
coming out of this clutch again.
So the pairing that we had had albino gene in it.
Now I know.
Now I'll mark it.
But there's nothing wrong with that
because the albinos are beautiful.
It really brings out the orange color.
These guys are still opaque now,
but once they shed, bright and beautiful.
So another good clutch.
- After spending time down in Florida
and really playing with more king cobras
than I have in a long, long time,
it seemed like almost every collection I went to
had a king cobra.
It made me really have a love for my cribos, right?
I mean the cribos really look almost like king cobras,
but of course don't have that big flap of a head,
but they have that same patterning.
I tell you, if you took a glance at this
in the wild, if this was in say Southeast Asia,
which, of course, that's not
where these guys are from, they're from central America.
But the truth is that if you saw this in Southeast Asia,
you would absolutely think it's a king Cobra.
But I tell you what getting time to spend
with all those king cobras really made me
realize how much I love them.
I'm not sure that I'll ever have the opportunity
to own one or not, but I sure would love one.
I mean, gosh, they are so amazing
from the big one that Chandler had and Kevin,
all the way down to Will Nace's,
and, of course, Kyle over at Primitive Predators.
I mean each one of those king cobras was so amazing.
And it's interesting because the Indigos
have that same kind of really mental thing going on,
where they seem to think a lot.
You can always tell they're thinking about things,
going forward and stuff like that.
So really, cribos remind me
not only of them, the way they look,
but also the way they act.
The only difference is you get bit by a cribo
and there isn't such bad consequences.
It might hurt a little bit,
but you're not heading to the hospital.
But I tell you what I am just having a blast
handling this.
Kind of in my mind, kind of pretending
like it's a king Cobra.
Boy, I miss looking at this.
Of course, we've got Aries here.
Ivy is looking absolutely wonderful.
I hope that you enjoyed today's video.
If you did do me a favor, here's a playlist.
You can watch a couple more videos.
It helps me out a tremendous amount.
On this side, you can also do me a favor

Have an absolutely wonderful day Reptile Army.
Remember, be kind to someone
and I promise, I'll see you tomorrow.
