- Hey Brad!
- Are you guys ready?
I've been sitting here all morning waiting for you guys.
- Can we just see the snake?
- This happens to be a giant snake named Lucy.
You guys probably know her,
well she happened to blow her cage up,
lots of really nice poop in her cage, lots of shed.
These of course are Mike and Jay, and guess what?
If you guys are willing to clean her
cause I don't feel like going in a doing,
I've done this thousands of times.
If you guys do it, guess what?
I'll buy you lunch.
If you clean Lucy, I'll buy you guys lunch.
- Today or tomorrow?
- Whatever day you want. You make the decision.
- Today I want today
- You guys argue on your own time.
Okay. You guys gonna do it?
- We don't have a choice
- I'm going to, I'm going to- (laughing)
I'll just oversee all right.
So you guys have fun all right. Have fun.
By the way the last time I went in with her
she was striking like crazy.
- I was Here.
- Yeah.
He didn't even go to that side.
- [Brian] The longer, the longer you guys wait
the more she's going to get. (hushing)
(indistinct)
- Okay.
- [Brian] Woo. Woo. Woo.
Watch yourself, watch yourself.
All right. Now she's not happy.
- [Mike] Now she's mad.
- Surprised you didn't try to kill it yet.
- [Brian] Oh you, oh you did it Jay.
You got her.
Jay did it.
Jay did it, Jay pulled a move.
- [Mike] You did it buddy.
- [Jay] Michael, scared, be careful.
- [Brian] Jay that was impressive man.
- Jay you did so good today buddy.
- [Brian] That was impressive.
I Don't know what's going on to be honest with you.
I'm trying to figure this out myself.
That's one big snake over there.
(laughing)
- Hi Jay, how you doing buddy?
- Mike. (laughter)
- Mike I can't hold the whole thing by myself.
- I'm not letting you.
- [Brian] Careful. Careful.
Don't step on it.
Okay. You guys are doing great.
- Yeah.
- [Brian] Jay's on the ground now.
I think Jay's done.
Lucy is doing good.
- [Jay] Don't go back, don't go back.
- [Brian] She's gonna' go back.
- She's making it so easy.
- [Brian] Watch out, watch out, watch out,
watch out, watch out!
(laughter)
- Oh my god, I felt it on my face.
Oh my god.
Buddy, relax.
- [Mike] I'm trying to get her to chill down.
(Brian laughing)
She's never done that before.
(Brian Laughing)
- What if she doesn't like me (indistinct) go like this.
- [Brian] You guys are, you guys are a mess.
- [Mike] Look Lucy, you love water.
She's so much sensitive.
- [Brian] What is going on here, guys?
There you go.- (indistinct)
By the way, Mike.- - Yeah.
- [Brian] You got something on your face.
- Do I?
- [Brian] Yeah.
- What?
- I Think I'm in shock.
You guys do not know how close I was.
(everyone talking over each other)
- [Brian] All right enough resting,
let's get this deep clean done.
- [Brian] Those are some big turds.
- [Mike] Yeah
- Can we weigh this?
- [Brian] You want to weigh everything (laughing)
(laughter)
(indistinct)
(Jay gagging)
- Oh it smells bad now.
Stop, you can't make that noise on me here.
I will puke.
(Mike making a gagging sound) - [Brian} Stop!
- If he pukes, I'll puke.
(burps) - Why does it?
See, I can't.
Now it's going to smells so bad.
(laughing)
- I'm getting a phone call.
It's my mom. (group laughter)
It's not a good time, Mom.
- [Mike] Hey mom, look where I'm at.
Okay, Mike, you don't have to stir it up.
- [Mike] I gotta get the shit out.
- You literally (sighs)
(upbeat music plays)
♪ She's got eggs ♪
- She's got eggs.
That's right.
And now I'm going to take them.
This happens to be a spider girl.
She's got one egg kicked out right here.
So I'm going to put that right over here.
And then we're gonna go ahead,
mama don't bite me.
Don't bite me, don't bite me, don't bite me.
It's okay mama.
Looks like a beautiful clutch of eggs.
Look at that clutch right there.
Ooh, doggy.
I tell it.
That is absolutely wonderful.
That is a nice clutch of eggs.
And of course that is a spider female.
And I love the male that she's bred to,
which happens to be this pinstripe red stripe yellow belly.
So we could literally get
spinner red striped yellow bellies,
which would be really, really cool.
Let's go ahead and see how many eggs she has.
And like I mentioned, this, a beautiful clutch.
We've got two, four, six, eight, nine, gorgeous eggs again.
A lot of cool combos; I love that red Stripe stuff.
It's an incomplete dominant.
The superversion, amazing.
A lot of the stuff bred into clown
and Stuff like that's incredible.
So this is a great building block for bigger things.
So in 57 days we're going to find out what's in this clutch.
(vacuum sound)
- [Jay] What?
(Brian Laughing)
I think it's the hat.
You gotta' pull your ponytail through the hole.
Yeah, there you go.
There you go, get it all the way through there.
- [Brian} But don't girls do That?
Guys actually do that?
- I don't know.
- I don't think guys are actually supposed to do that.
- [Brian] I'm not dumb. (laughing)
By now, you guys have definitely heard
about the reptile army movement.
I believe that we are just getting started.
I promise you.
You need to be part of the reptile army.
BR soldiers, get out there.
We're trying to educate.
We're trying to preserve the reptile hobby.
Go to reptile army.com.
10% of the proceeds, U.S. Heart.
90% of the other proceeds go to educating.
0% of the proceeds go in my pockets.
So go to reptile army.com.
Big things are coming.
Finally it's happening guys.
I am back in the new Caledonia room.
We cleaned all this stuff out.
The boys actually taped everything up.
So the first thing I'm gonna do is spray this all white
so that we have white base on all the walls,
and the ceiling and stuff like that.
Then I'm actually gonna put the flooring down
after it dries a little bit.
So then this room is actually gonna be
set to start building racks
and then enclosures are coming here
within the next week or so.
And then we can start actually getting this place fixed up.
So right now I'm putting on my respirator
and I'm going to go ahead and paint this room up.
(upbeat music plays)
Got the room all painted up like this.
So we're just going to go ahead
and let this dry a little bit.
And then we'll actually start on the flooring,
get this flooring in.
And then we are really on our way.
We can start putting racks in and stuff like that.
So, got the paint done.
Definitely looks a lot more clean and a lot better.
Ready for geckos pretty soon.
This is actually a pretty cool snake here.
This is actually what they call a Halloween Pueblan.
And you basically see why they call it a Halloween Pueblan.
It's because it's orange and black.
Now the best ones that we produce
don't have any of the red triads on them.
They have just the orange and black.
This one is kind of borderline
but it still can produce some really beautiful babies
because it's very polygenic.
So let's go ahead and see how many eggs she has.
It looks like a really beautiful clutch right here.
Definitely a nice clutch for a Pueblan.
Little slugger right here.
We'll go ahead and remove that one.
You can just tell the difference between
a slug egg and a normal egg.
See how it's squishy and it's kinda more yellow.
These are really nice and firm and leathery, but not bad.
One egg bad.
Two, four, six, eight, nine, good eggs.
Can't complain, again.
Halloween's are very polymorphic.
So hopefully in this culture,
we'll produce some really good ones
that are just black and orange.
Next up is actually a Pueblan Milk Snake.
Just a really pretty kind of smaller animal.
This is a first time female.
You can see she's certainly not a big girl by any stretch
but Pueblans are really just a beautiful
kind of a great starter Colubrid,
when it comes to milk snakes in particular.
So let's see what she has.
Seeing this, she's not a big girl.
She has a really beautiful clutch right here.
I'm actually surprised she laid as many eggs she did
cause she's not very big.
So that's pretty awesome.
There's actually two, four, six, seven eggs.
So seven eggs for a Pueblan that size.
I'm absolutely loving it.
So 60 days from now,
we're going to have some beautiful little babies.
Remember how we bought the reptarium van
and we're getting it wrapped?
Well today they're actually starting on it.
So let's hit the road
and at least see what they've got going.
(funk music plays)
Of course we're here at the graphics place.
The wrap is just getting started to go on right now.
It's a, it's just exciting again.
I've, I've said this, you know I mean,
I've been in business for 33 years
and I've never had a vehicle that is actually
even just for the business to be honest with you,
but not to mention a wrap.
It's always been kind of a dream of mine.
To drive down the street with a car that,
or van that's wrapped
and it's going to be really, really cool to see it.
So, you get a kind
of a glimpse of what it's going to look like.
Obviously it's going to wrap all around here.
The hoods there,
we've got the top is already wrapped with the reptarium.
So, this is going to be amazing.
Can you imagine you're cruising down the street
and seeing that van?
That's going to turn some eyes for sure.
So this is exciting.
And like I said, it's always been
a dream of mine to have a wrapped vehicle.
I don't know why, it just is really cool.
In all the years of owning business,
I can't believe that I've never had a vehicle like this
so it's going to be really cool.
And we've been talking about potentially doing these
kind of like pop up reptarium events,
where we maybe just show up to a part of Detroit
or somewhere in the suburbs where there's
a bunch of people like a park, or a concert,
or something like that.
We'll just pull up with this van, pop open the doors,
and bring out some animals for people to see.
I think it's going to be really cool.
It's again, it's like a billboard
for the reptarium, but it's traveling.
This is absolutely amazing.
I'm just giddy, I know it's maybe silly to most people,
but for me this is something that
I've been dreaming about forever.
And to see it come true is pretty darn amazing.
(upbeat music plays)
Who dog, I tell you what,
this first part was so much harder than I expected.
Normally what would take me to do the entire room;
took me that much time just to do this part here
because I had to go backwards
with the way you lay the thing.
Now that this is all set up
I should be able to rock the rest
of this room up pretty quick.
But, who doggy.
I'd tell you what, that was a lot of work.
(upbeat music plays)
Well, this is where I'm going to stop for the day
because I need to get some more of the blue stuff.
The foam that goes on the bottom.
I have to go to the store and I'm done.
It's a, took quite some time,
but I'm really loving the way it looks.
It definitely is exactly what I'm hoping for.
Again, it's going to be like a
little mini reptarium here for geckos, right?
New Caledonia stuff, all that kind of, you know
Chahouas, and Gargoyles, and Leachies
and stuff like that.
So there's going to be enclosures on this wall,
this wall, and of course this wall here.
And they'll be like, again, reptarium esque, right?
There's going to be all fixtured out.
We'll have rocked out fronts,
misting systems,
the whole shot, so.
It's gonna look really cool down here.
So, made some great progress.
Been a while since I've been working on this room.
I wanted to get this done like a month ago.
So it's great to finally be back to it.
I cannot wait until the finished product.
You guys are gonna' love it.
Last thing we have to do for the day is put Lucy back.
You guys ready for the challenge?
- The last thing I have to do is eat Chick-fil-A
- [Brian] Chick-fil-A?
