- Oh my gosh.
- Bruce, you're freaking wild bro.
- Are you kidding me right now?
- Oh man.
- Oh my gosh.
(yelling)
(funky electronic music)
- Hey good morning everybody and welcome to the vlog.
I kinda feel like it's deja vu.
We did a vlog just a couple days ago
where I was standing here with my girl
Zombie, the Chilean Rose Hair
and said good morning to you guys.
But today is a little different.
Today we're actually moving all of our tarantulas
into the new erected wall.
There's been a little bit of time,
all of the fumes are died down.
And the first one going in, of course, is my girl Zombie.
Let's go ahead and get inside your new cage, girl.
Let's see how you like it.
There you go, sweetheart.
There you go, oh my gosh,
you're gonna look so great in there, sweetheart.
And the thing that's amazing is
now people can come and see her
and see all of the tarantulas.
So it's gonna be absolutely amazing.
Hey listen, moving the Chilean Rose Hair
and the Brazilian Black and the scorpion,
that's not that big of a deal.
But we do have to move the Purple Monster
and the Bird Eater, too.
So it's going to be a little bit more treacherous.
We're gonna have a great time,
and I'm definitely going to enlist Bruce
into those animals because I'm not quite experienced enough.
But I cannot be more happy
with the way these guys are looking.
Next up is actually an Emperor Scorpion.
They're absolutely incredible
but I'm going to be totally honest with you.
They freak me out a little bit.
And what I mean by that
is once they're up like this,
I'm more than happy to hold it,
but picking them up just freaks me out.
So, Bruce isn't afraid of them, like me, like the wimp.
We're gonna put her in her new cage right here
which I think is going to be really awesome.
Oh my God, it's going to be so cool
to finally be able to show people how amazing she is.
- She's not gonna wanna go - Here you go, little sweetie.
There you go little sweetheart.
There you go, oh my gosh.
Oh, look at it starting to come together.
We got Zombie, we got the Emperor Scorpion,
Oh my gosh, this is going to be so awesome.
Next up is Shirley Temple, the Curly Hair.
Oh my God, that thing is so cool.
Oh, that's gonna love it's cage.
Here we go, sweetie.
Here we go, lots of places for you to run.
Lots of places for activities.
There we go, looks awesome.
Oh my God, I can't believe I'm so excited
about this, Bruce, isn't this awesome?
- I've had this one since I was this little
and I love this little guy.
I'm so glad he gets a cool little home like this.
And he gets to be loved by everybody, not just me.
- I know, it's awesome.
Honestly guys, this is my absolute favorite
tarantula right here, the Brazilian Black.
I just think it's absolutely incredible.
I am so happy that people are gonna be able
to see how beautiful it is.
Because it is truly an amazing, amazing animal.
I don't know what it is about that one,
but I am in love with it.
I mean, isn't it crazy cool?
And I think that this habitat looks really cool for it.
I think it's going to really like it.
Oh my gosh.
Look at this cheeky monkey here.
That is crazy.
There you go,
be careful little buddy.
And that is probably the only thing
that we have slight concern about,
is that we don't want these tarantulas to climb up
and then fall,
obviously this is a scorpion.
This is much more suited to her
climbing and stuff like that.
But you can see the Curly Hair is up here too.
Now I don't think that anything
is gonna be too tall number one,
and number two, it is pretty soft.
But that's something that we're gonna
have to definitely keep an eye on.
As a matter of fact,
our Red Knee is going to be in a slightly taller cage.
So we're even more concerned about that,
but we're going to keep a really close eye.
Make sure she doesn't hurt herself
and then when it comes to the Bird Eater
and the Purple People Eater,
they're a much shorter cage so we should be okay there.
But it's pretty cool to see these guys
just kind of wander around their cage.
So we're going to move the Mexican Red Knee next.
She's a little bit psycho.
She's a little weird.
- Well it's not really the hardest animal to hold,
but I don't want her to potentially run off my hands
and hurt herself.
So I've got this catch cup that I've sort of made here.
- [Brian] That's awesome.
It looks like its a spray bottle and then--
tell me what you did here.
This is crazy.
- So I basically melted in the top of the cap
so that way when I have an animal
that's a little more dangerous than this guy,
I'll have the straw here
so I can stick it through the middle and--
- [Brian] So you can use that to manipulate the animal--
- That way their not in any level of danger.
I don't have to shake them around or anything.
It's just a gentle little push.
- That's awesome.
Let's go ahead and get this crazy one.
The reason we got this Red Knee
is because I have Queen Elizabeth out in LA
that is really really docile
and I wanted another one.
This one turned out to not be so much that way.
Definitely a little crazy,
so lets see what she does.
- [Bruce] There she goes
kicking hairs. - [Brian] She's kicking hairs.
- [Bruce] Not the nicest tarantula in the world.
It's alright baby.
You're alright, you're alright.
There she is.
That's inside the catch cup.
- And away she goes.
Oh my god.
I hope this girl calms down for us.
She is definitely a little bit bazaar.
So let's see what she does.
You see Bruce is using that catch cup
with that straw with the paper towel.
Just to ease her in her cage.
She's still flicking hairs.
And that's a defense mechanism for these guys.
They'll actually flick hairs
to keep the predators away,
but hopefully she does well in here.
We're gonna definitely have to keep an eye on her
to make sure she doesn't climb up.
We don't want her to hurt herself,
so we've got several hours here
to really keep a close eye on her.
If for some reason we feel
like she's not gonna do well in here,
we can move her out no problem.
So now we're moving up to the big boys.
The Purple People Eater and the Bird Eater.
Noah is gonna be vlogging on his channel too
so you'll get a different perspective.
Definitely check that out.
I'll put the link in the description.
Gotta check out his thing
'cause I have a feeling Eric's gonna be running around.
Jessica's probably here just to save the day
in case Bruce gets himself in trouble.
She always seems to do it.
So lets go ahead and just make this happen
without anyone going to the hospital please, okay?
- Well we'll try.
(laughter)
- To confirm it, this will send you to the hospital
if it bites you?
Is that what he's saying?
- No, no.
It would hurt pretty badly.
As far as the significance of his venom,
I'm not actually 100% sure.
Not really.
- [Brian] So basically what he's saying,
if he gets bit and goes into convulsions,
we know then he needs to go to the hospital.
- Oh! Great!
Absolutely!
- Yeah!
Couple shots of Jack Daniel's,
an ice pack,
send Bruce home.
- Just keep me with the Jack Daniel's
and I'll be alright.
(laughter)
- [Brian] Alright, let's do this.
This thing is insane.
[Noah] Ooooo!
Here's the leg thing I was talking about, dude.
- [Group] Ahhhhh!
- [Eric] Holy crap!
- [Brian] This thing is so aggressive.
- [Eric] Oooo, oooo, oooo!
- [Brian] I don't trust this thing.
- [Eric] Are you sure it's gonna work?!
Bruce, that thing looks pretty big!
It's huge!
[Noah] Bigger than the 2 liter!
Oooo, Steve..
- [Noah] Oh my god.
- [Eric] (whimpering)
- [Noah] Oh my god!
This is so next level!
(laughter)
Alright, I'm gonna grab the straw.
- [Bruce] Push that thing in there,
very gently, very gently.
- [Group] Whoa!
- [Bruce] Alright, keep pushing.
- [Brian] Did you see the venom on it?
[Eric] I can't even see the spider.
- [Brian] Oh it's a--
- [Noah] Oooooh!
- [Eric] Close it!
Close it!
- [Noah] I felt it grab it!
That was holy (airhorn).
Oh sorry about
that. - [Eric] Sorry.
- [Noah] Oh my
god. - Oh my god.
That thing was crazy! - It was right there.
- Noah!
(panicked laughter)
- Shut the
door! - He's gonna have a
heart attack. - Shut the door!
- [Brian] No wait a sec,
wait a sec. - No, no, no, no--
- [Brian] Get the GoPro!
Get the GoPro!
- [Eric] Where?!
In there?!
- [Brian] Look at where it's at.
Someone's gotta get the GoPro.
- You got tongs.
- [Eric] Where is it?
Oh my god.
- [Brian] Where we gonna get it?
He's got the GoPro now.
- [Eric] GoPro.
You're crazy.
- We're just gonna have to buy another GoPro.
So that was pretty high energy.
I'm not gonna lie to ya.
That thing is insane.
Oh my gosh.
But, just look at how beautiful that animal is.
I mean a Purple Spider.
It looks great in its cage.
The idea is hopefully it will go
right down in this burrow here
and that way it feels comfortable,
but you can still see it inside here.
And hopefully with this habitat,
it will still want to get out and explore a little bit.
That thing is ridiculous.
So you're up Noah.
You excited about this?
I think this is Noah's favorite tarantula.
- No.
- [Brian] No?
- No, not the Bird Eater.
Honestly, this one is probably the most
freaky to me.
- [Brian] Yeah it is.
- This one freaks me out the most.
My favorite,
I like the Gooty Sapphire.
- [Brian] Oh yeah! Gooty Sapphire's
absolutely beautiful. - I like the color on them.
- I don't know how this is gonna go.
It's gonna be insane.
Alright Bruce, this is all you man.
- This'll be fun.
- [Brian] This'll be fun.
That's what they always say before they die.
(laughter)
- [Bruce] You guys have nothing but confidence in me.
- [Brian] Look how big it is!
Holy moly that thing is massive!
- [Noah] Wow!
That is a lot bigger than the Purple Monster Eater.
Purple People Eater.
- [Brian] Purple Monster Eater.
(laughter)
- [Brian] That thing isn't gonna fit in there, Bruce.
You're gonna need a keg,
not a 2 liter.
Oh no.
What is he doing?
- [Noah] No! - [Eric] What are you doing?!
Bruce, don't do that.
- [Brian] He's not doing what I think he is, is he?
- [Noah] Oh my
god! - [Brian] He's not doing
what I think he is!
- [Brian] Wow. - [Noah] I'm screaming.
- [Brian] Wow.
Look at how delicate
and--
Oh my gosh.
Look at how huge that thing is.
It just like,
kind of--
- [Bruce] Come on, baby.
Lets see how big-- - [Eric] No!
No!
Bruce!
Bruce.
- [Noah] Dude, Bruce is an animal!
- [Eric] Oh my god.
- [Noah] Eric!
- [Eric] No I'm not.
- [Noah] Eric!
- [Eric] I'm going home.
- [Bruce] Alright.
(gibberish)
- Kids, don't do this at
home ever, ever. - [Bruce] Do not do this
at home.
- [Brian] Bruce is an expert,
or we think he is.
I'm not sure yet.
- [Noah] Oh no! - [Eric] Oh
my god Dude.
Are you-- - [Brian] Are you kidding me?
- [Eric] Kidding me?!
- [Noah] Eric, what are you doing over there?
- [Bruce] Look how big this
girl is. - [Eric] I'm still too close.
(laughter)
- [Brian] I'm terrified.
I'm terrified of this.
This is crazy.
Oh my gosh.
- [Eric] Bruce you're frickin' wild bro.
- [Brian] Are you kidding me right now?
- Oh man.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh.
What in the f-- - [Eric] (whimpering)
- [Noah] That thing is big!
- [Bruce] That thing is so, so big.
- [Noah] This is crazy, Bruce.
- [Bruce] She is
gargantuan. - [Noah] Oh my gosh.
- [Bruce] You don't realize how heavy this thing is too.
It's incredibly heavy.
- [Noah] Oh my gosh.
- [Bruce] It's okay.
You're alright, baby.
You're alright.
- [Eric] Are you kidding me right now.
Oh my gosh.
- [Noah] Eric, come close.
Eric,
come.
Eric, it's your turn.
You're up
next. - [Eric] No man, no.
- [Noah] Look at Jessica.
Jessica's like spotting.
- [Brian] I'm gonna run into the bathroom if it--
- [Bruce] If it starts
darting-- - [Jessica] I don't want her
to fall on the ground.
- [Brian] So now what?
Now what do you do?
- [Bruce] So from this point,
I think I can pretty much put her
back in on my own.
- [Jessica] She's pretty calm.
- [Noah] You know, this is actually kind of cool.
- [Brian] This is crazy cool.
- [Noah] Really cool.
What if we get just a super king Bird Eater.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh.
- I'm literally touching her fangs right now.
That's why my hands are shaking
'cause I can feel--
- [Brian] Bruce!
What the heck, dude?!
- Oh my
god. - [Eric] Dude,
I feel like we all need to clap or something.
(clapping)
- Wow.
- A round of applause.
Guys in the comments,
give the clap signal down in comments.
I'm like the Nancy Pelosi meme.
Have you guys seen that?
That was how I was clapping.
(clapping)
- [Noah] Oh my--
- [Brian] Look at it compared to the size
of the GoPro.
It's butt is bigger than the GoPro.
- [Noah] It really is.
- So there it is guys.
I mean,
I didn't expect to be handling
a Goliath Bird Eating Tarantula--
I mean,
I didn't,
but Bruce did.
But that was absolutely incredible.
My heart rate is up like you can't believe.
I don't know what Jessica's thinking,
I mean she's over there,
she's got her hands out
like if something goes wrong.
I'm like I can't do that.
But that was absolutely incredible,
and it looks amazing in here.
Just take a look at it.
Oh my god.
Basically what we have is:
we have our Rose Hair here;
obviously an Emperor Scorpian;
little Curly Hair here;
the Brazilian Black all the way up on the top,
way up there;
Of course the Goliath Bird Stirmi;
the Purple People Eater;
we have the Red Knee up here;
the Gooty Sapphire,
that we're gonna put some more plants in;
then we have a Green Bottle Blue
that's gonna go in here;
and then actually guys, we have one more
kind of a boreal type of tank.
So down in the comments let me know
what arachnid,
bug,
whatever you think I should put in here,
this cage right up here.
And I'll take whatever the majority of you guys say
and we'll go ahead and put it in this tank.
Let me know what you guys think
of this amazing arachnid wall.
I could not be more excited,
and that Bird Eating thing,
that was legendary.
I'm kind of sad to say that
this is Pinnochio's last weekend
at the Reptarium.
At least for a little bit of time,
'cause he needs to go into hibernation,
and what happens is,
he's been a breeder for us for the last several years
and he just went off of food a couple weeks ago
and we don't want to stress him out.
We think the best thing for him
is to put him in hibernation,
let him go dormant for a little bit.
We'll bring him back up here in a couple months.
He'll go back to the Reptarium,
but the truth is we like to kind of
cycle some animals around too.
Although Pinnochio has certainly
been a huge, huge fan favorite,
he's gonna get replaced with something else really cool
that will take his spot for the next couple months
and then he'll be back for the summer
and he'll be hanging out.
So Pinnochio has a couple days left at the Reptarium
and then he gets to go to sleep.
And I hope I'm not losing all my snake and reptile people
by saying why are you showing so many spiders, Brian?
I am excited about it.
I'm super happy that they're finally in their cages.
And I'm really excited that later on today
we're open at the Reptarium
so people can see them for the very first time.
But as for me,
I think that it kind of goes to show you
you can go from a fearful person,
like I was with spiders,
to someone who actually loves them.
And that's just, again,
learning about the animal,
educating yourself,
getting yourself habituated to handling them,
looking at them all that type of stuff,
and that's the best way to get over your fear.
Whether its snakes,
whether its whatever it is.
If you habituate yourself to it,
learn as much as you can.
Remember,
fear is the opposite of knowledge.
The more knowledge you have,
the less fear you have.
So the Reptarium is open now,
and you held your very first
snake today. - Yes.
And now she's holding Perdida,
so that's awesome.
Any arachnid people yet?
- Not yet, not yet.
But I'm gonna get some people
wanting to go. - Okay.
We gotta show off the arachnid wall
that we just made, obviously.
Had a really fun night.
It was really cool that one moment
there was probably like 10 or 12 people
that were standing around the new arachnid wall.
A bunch of people held their first spider.
It is absolutely an amazing thing to see it
kind of come to fruition after all the hard work
and the vision that took me so long to finally get done.
And like I said guys,
I don't wanna bore you guys,
but the arachnid wall has been amazing.
Take a look at this guy right here.
Oh my gosh.
And the thing is is that it's not too high
where if it does fall,
it's not gonna hurt itself.
But the truth is,
is with this texturing,
there's actually no reason it falls, right?
Because you don't want a tall tank.
They climb up the glass.
They can actually fall off the glass.
With this,
it's actually like rock almost
so there's no way it's gonna actually fall,
but even if it did it's only a very small amount.
But how impressive is that?
This has been absolutely incredible.
We still have a little bit of time left
here at the Reptarium.
Just kind of hanging out with a hand full of people.
This is absolutely amazing to do this.
I can't thank everyone enough
that makes the trek out to the Reptarium
to hang out with us,
and I can't thank you guys enough
for watching and enjoying.
I really, really love you guys so much.
Can you do me a couple favors
before we get out air.
Can you smash that like button,
or strike that like button?
Can you turn those post notifications on
so you know when I upload a video?
Make a comment.
Let me know what you think about what we've been
doing here as well as tell me something awesome
about your beautiful faces.
Be kind to someone
and I promise I will see you guys tomorrow.
(slow soothing music)
