(upbeat music)
- Woo doggy! I'll tell you what,
I have been waiting for this clutch forever.
I mean, literally I'm not, kidding you
probably 10 or 12 years.
I know.
You'd say, why did it take you 10 to 12 years to produce it?
The truth is this is the very first time I've had
an opportunity to produce one of these guys.
Oh, it looks like she's got a couple of eggs left in her
but this is actually a palmetto corn snake
10 or 12 years ago.
I saw the very first one and I was blown away from it.
And this is the first time that I've actually
had a chance to produce them.
This is a beautiful clutch of eggs.
I am so excited about this.
Let's go ahead and set her back up in here.
Let her lay her last couple of eggs.
In the meantime, let's go ahead
and roll some fancy B-roll of me setting up egg boxes.
B-roll's just a fancy term for the shots that aren't the
A roll or the main shots where I may be talking to camera.
It's typically comprised
of either slow motion, beautiful shots, macro shots
just kind of establishing shots.
We shoot a lot of B-roll.
The vast majority
of that B roll never gets seen by anyone.
Yet, every day we continue to shoot B roll
in hopes that we actually will one day use it.
And there's a saying in production that says
that you can't edit shots that you didn't film.
So here is the B-roll of me setting up egg boxes.
Back to Palmetto Corn, looks like she's actually coming
out of her nest box right now
which tells me she's probably done laying, which is cool.
But just take a look at that thing right there.
That is incredible.
Of course, this is a recessive mutation for a corn snake.
Where are you going, girl?
I was just going back in.
Yep. It looks like all the eggs are out of her right now.
So that is absolutely incredible.
And again, these guys are
like little cow reticulated pythons, right?
Little dalmation snakes! Unbelievably beautiful.
Now the difference between these
and the cow retics is that they're born
with the spots and they keep their spots in the whole life.
They don't grow into them like the cow reticulated pythons.
But wow.
I tell you what, if you want a cow retic
but you don't want a giant snake.
Palmetto corns are the way to go. And I am so jacked
that we finally got our first clutch ever
of Palmetto corn snakes.
Now I am, I coul-,
I'm so excited for these things to hatch
but let's see what we have first, in here.
Go ahead and pull these egg box out.
And then we'll count these, wow, that is a beautiful clutch.
And this is actually one of those eggs that just was laid.
You can see how squishy it is right here.
So we'll set that one up right there
and then we'll pull the rest of the eggs
out and get them in the egg box and count these up.
I know Laura is going to be super excited
about it cause it's one of her favorite corn snakes.
So this is absolutely incredible.
We've got two, four, six, eight, 10, 12, 14, 16
17 eggs from a palmetto corn snake, whew, doggy.
I'll tell you what.
That is a great way to start the day.
I know a lot of you guys are starting to get all your
reptile army merch.
And I'm excited because I've got some too
that have just come in
take a look at this.
I've got a new shirt. I can't wait to see what this is.
I have no idea what this is right now.
Ken, their sending me some goodies just to kind of
check them out.
Let's see what is in here.
Ooh, hoo hoo hoo.
Oh my God.
I love it. I'm going to put this on right now.
Oh man.
Showing off these gunshow right here and guess what else?
I actually got some odd joggers too.
I am going to be all ready for the gym.
Let's go ahead and check this out.
Oh man.
I tell you what I am definitely ready for the gym right up.
Oh, and they sent one more packet.
What do we have here?
I'm so excited.
This is like Christmas morning over here.
Woo. Are you kidding me?
I got me some socks right now.
Let's go ahead and put these things on.
(upbeat jazz music)
Alright guys I am geared up.
I got my socks on.
I got my joggers on.
I got my, my tank top.
I'll tell you what.
I'm going to go hit the gym.
Definitely go to reptilearmy.com.
Get your swag, represent.
Join the frontline.
We need you guys to be out there
and spreading the love of reptiles.
So go to reptilearmy.com.
As for me, I'm pretty stuck.
Oh my goodness
- Bro. (laughing)
It's not really the joggers or the slides.
It's kind of the tank top.
It looks really great though.
- [Brian] You jealous or what?
- I actually am jealous.
Yeah. Not at the tank top though. (laughs)
Maybe it's not you in the tank top.
- [Brian] Alright, Fair. Fair enough.
Fair enough.
So did you hear the exciting news?
Obviously, the Palmetto corn laid eggs.
- [Laura] Yes.
- [Brian] Now what I have to ask you is
what did you breed her to?
Because you breed her to two different males.
- Well, we didn't have the het Palmetto corn male at first.
So, I know I only did it one time before.
Because at first I wasn't going to breed her
but she was such a good size.
I thought I might as well.
I bred this male, one time.
- [Brian] Oh so he didn't?
- So just an anery corn.
- An anery corn, which would be pretty cool.
A Palmetto-Anery.
I'm sure they've been produced, but you know
I, that'd be kind of cool. Just black and white.
More like Predida, for sure.
- Yeah but only one time - [Brian] Right.
I threw him in
and then after we got him.
So we won't know til they hatch.
- [Brian] Right. So when they hatch we are either
going to get half palmetto corns
or we're going to get all double-het anery Palmetto corn.
So, but then the second clutch you're going to go just het?
- Yeah.
- [Brian] Okay, good.
- I think so.
- But that's pretty exciting though. Good work.
That was nice.
- Yeah. Thanks. I know.
- All right. So my dad just signaled us.
He said (pig call)
Rumor has it he needs an Instagram picture.
- Did you signal?
- Yeah.
- Okay
- Thanks for showing me.
So we're going to be working with the green basilisk.
That's what we think will be the best picture.
And in particular, the male
it's just has a different formulation of scales and it's has
- [Jayy] It looks better.
- It has this spine that wraps from the middle of it's
- It's got a whole mohawk thing you know?
- Yeah. Okay.
- [Jayy] Have you ever even handled me?
- Never in my life.
- Me either. Great.
- All right. So this one wants to come out immediately.
Male is in the way back up there and here we go.
What are you doing?
I don't need a boost Dude. I don't need that.
Who invited this guy here? Are you focused?
You gotta pay attention.
Ow, I got whipped in the face.
Don't grab it.
- [Jayy] Okay. So where's brother ever?
- No, I just, I just got it under control.
Look at this beautiful specimen, dude.
He's going a little bug eyed, but that's okay.
Look at out how calm he is these guys must be, you must
Did you work with them before?
- All the time. Every day.
- All the time? Wow. Bro right when you touch.
- Ow I got, shhhhhhh
Start thinking with your brain,
think with your brain. Wow.
- All right, now let's go get this
to my dad so we can take the picture.
- It's going to bite me in the face.
- [Jayy] It won't bite you on the face.
We did something for you.
- [Brian] What'd you do?
- We got them - [Brian] What'd you guys get?
- [Noah] Smile. Smile.
- No, I didn't say to get the basilisk.
I said to get the iguana.
- That is the.
- I thought it was the same thing.
- No, but Thank you. That's great.
I might as well take an instastory right now anyways
Just For the heck of it.
- [Jayy] How'd you have the wrong animal?
- You told me
- Look at how big Betty White is getting.
Of course that beautiful bearded dragon that
my friend sent me.
By the way. Thank you so much. We love her to death.
I mean, she is just an absolute wonderful animal.
And again, you guys know I'm a huge Betty White fan.
Originally it was bones.
We switched it to Betty White.
I'm glad we made that decision
because she is absolutely wonderful.
I mean, just such a cool animal and again, just
really great with kids and stuff like that and getting big.
I mean, it's probably close to double the size just
in the last month and a half or two months.
So this thing is absolutely amazing.
Okay. Reptile army.
I need you guys to right now.
I don't care where you're at.
You're going to sing along with me right now and it is.
♪ Python eggs (x4) and stop. (record scratch) ♪
Okay. Let's go ahead and get some Python eggs.
If I'm going to make a fool of myself
I at least need you guys to make a fool of yourselves too.
You know what I mean?
And that is a pastel that's het for VPI, azantac.
And she's bred to this beauty right here
which happens to be a dragon fly het VPI azantix as well.
So that is a pastel.
It's a fire.
It's a pinstripe and it's a het for azantix.
So let's go ahead and see how many eggs mama has.
And as always, mama's protecting her
eggs and she doesn't want me to take them.
I'm going to just steal this one little egg over here.
She's ready to go, mama.
It's okay.
Over there.
He goes.
Well, there you go, mama.
Okay. Whew.
I'll tell you why.
She's a, she's a feisty little monkey right there.
Get her head away from me and just get these eggs right now.
Good clutch of eggs though.
Look at how beautiful they are.
Okay. We'll get these eggs over here.
Get them in the egg box.
Set up right there.
It looks like a beautiful clutch.
We'll get mama all cleaned up.
Get her some fresh water.
Get her feeding in the next couple of days.
She should be good to go.
We've got two, four, six, eight beautiful eggs.
Now we could get all kinds of different stuff.
We get azantix, paso azantix,
fire azantix, fire pastel azantix.
We could get pinstripe azantix you know.
Firefly, pinstripe things, all kinds of stuff.
So this should be a pretty cool clutch when
she doesn't who mama is not happy at all.
I tell you what that is amazing.
So I've done Python, eggs, Python, eggs, Python, eggs.
I love it.
And if you're keeping count
that's 26 clutches right now on the ground.
And it's really cool that both those animals
the female and the male I produced, I raised
up and this is the first clutches that they've ever had.
First time that, that male father
the clutch and first clutch for the female.
So that's exciting going to be some really cool egg cutting
in 57 days.
All right. So Mike, I got you a present. DA-da.
- Oh, nice.
- [Brian] Are you excited about it? Excited?
- Absolutely I get to clean.
- [Brian] I know. See, don't think
I don't think about you. You know?
- That's amazing.
- [Brian] Isn't it amazing? Sorry. So put it to work.
All you have to do is attach it to a drill.
(plucky music)
(drill sounds)
♪ Egg time (x4) ♪
- You know, there's two things I'll never get sick of.
One is that egg time song, and two is actually getting eggs.
So let's see what's going to happen here and let's see
I'll pull this clutch out.
It looks like mom was already outside the box.
She's actually just a normal pueblan milk snake
bred to another pueblan milk snake.
Let's see what we have.
Do we have good?
Oh wow.
Hoo doggy. Remember when I told you that we typically
have four to six eggs in a pueblan clutch?
Well, I can promise you.
I'm not the best at math
but this is more than four or six eggs.
There is two, four, six, eight, 10 beautiful eggs.
That is a good clutch.
I think our record for pueblans ever was 11 eggs.
So that came really close to beating the record.
As always, you guys are sending me all kinds of cool stuff.
So I am going to open it up and see what is in here.
What do we have?
Let's see, we have looks like, Oh
it looks like a cool drawing.
Oh my gosh.
Take a look at this.
This is actually cool.
It's Brian of course, Bowzer with me holding it.
That is awesome.
Thank you so much.
I see, who sent this in there? Oh.
There's oh, there's a whole bunch of other stuff too.
Hang on a second here.
All right.
We have some pictures.
Looks like some old, some more draws.
That's actually cool.
Batman. So obviously we have an artist.
I mean, look at that.
That's cool.
I've had, I woke up a couple mornings looking like that.
I'm not going to lie to you.
I've also woken up like this a couple of mornings too.
So, Oh, wait a second.
Can we show that, we'd get demonetized.
Brian, I've been a fan since chewy
doing the Halloween's kiss
on BH in the snake bites.
Those were crazy days.
I don't think I'll forget.
When you were around trying to collect candy
with Easter eggs, with the meanest snakes in the shop.
I know I tortured chewy.
I, I really did.
Please enjoy the portrait I've done of you and Bowzer.
So I include some sketches and stickers you
and your team can have thank you for everything you do.
This is from Alexander.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
