- Hey, good morning everybody,
and welcome to the vlog.
I hope the start of your day is amazing.
We're gonna jump right into things
with some culebra clutches, if you don't mind.
This girl here, oh, my god,
she definitely put a lotta energy into that second clutch.
You can look.
Mama is a little beat up, that is for sure.
That is about as thin as you're gonna see a snake
and here in our collection for sure,
after two clutches,
so she's definitely gonna need to get some meals in her.
But I'll be totally honest with you,
she should beef up and she should be completely fine.
I've actually seen even worse than that,
I'm not concerned about her,
but definitely gonna have to get some water
in with her, get her some food here later today.
Get her back on the mend.
And again, her work is done for the year,
so she gets to beef up, get ready for brumation
in just a handful of months,
so she is done.
She did really good,
that mama was a good mama.
Look at the size of this clutch right here
for a second clutch.
Hoo-hoo, doggy!
That is amazing!
Two, four, six, eight good eggs!
Eight good eggs on a second clutch
is crazy when it comes to Pueblan Milk Snakes.
So, unfortunately that is the last egg box
that I have set up
so I have to go ahead and set up some egg boxes
in a second here,
but I did notice,
when I was looking through this morning,
you see right up here?
What d'you see?
That's right, that's some more baby colubras.
Now remember, that King snake clutch hatched
earlier in the year, but they always hatch really early.
So the fact that these guys are out,
and these are corn snakes,
this is a normal incubation time here,
so let's just pop this lid really quick
and see what we have here.
Oh, my gosh, some beautiful little Snow Corn snakes.
How amazing!
Let's just take a look at 'em,
see what we got goin' on.
And look at these cute little monkeys right here!
Oh, my gosh.
Of course, this was actually a Snow corn that
was a possible het scaleless,
it was bred to a snow Snow Scaleless corn snake.
Unfortunately I don't see any snow scaleless corn snakes
in here, so she must not have been a het.
So what these are,
is actually all Snow corns that are het
for scaleless corn snakes.
But look at how absolutely adorable it is.
Now that Snow was actually a double-recessive mutation.
It's albino and anerythristic,
which means just, obviously, an albino,
and the anerythristic are the black corn snakes
so basically, these are lacking the black pigment
and they're lacking the red pigment,
leaving this kinda just beautiful pink color to 'em.
And you can see some of their heads are still poking out,
some bubbles over here,
where they're still comin' out,
so we still have four or five more eggs left to hatch,
but I tell ya what, guys, calebra season
is upon us.
Once these guys start hatching, we're gonna be
hatching colubrabra snakes almost every day
for the next two and a half, three months.
That is super exciting, 'cause we have
some insane clutches coming.
Let's go ahead and check to see if we have anything here.
Oh, my gosh! Look it!
Take a look at, guys,
unbelievable!
A little Mexican black king!
A nigrita's head is poking out right now!
Oh, my gosh, the first Mexican Black Kings
are all comin' out, dude,
these guys should be outta the egg
in the next day or two, also.
Oh, my god,
it's gonna be an exciting coupla months here at BHB.
Unbelievable.
I am over the moon.
Let's go ahead and set up a couple of egg boxes
so we can go ahead and pull these last couple clutches
of colubrids.
(chill techno music)
Back to getting some clutches,
there's another wildling clutch,
another second clutch,
doesn't look nearly as beat up as that last mom.
Again, y'know, I'm not terribly concerned
about that first mom, but she definitely was beat up
from production this year.
So we'll see if this girl has a decent clutch or not.
Looks like, oh yeah,
it doesn't look too bad at all.
Not as big as the first clutch, but still,
absolutely beautiful eggs.
And again, this is a second clutch,
so this girl, who looks really in good shape,
is done for the year.
She shouldn't take hardly any time
to get, kinda, rebound, and ready for brumation
and then she should be good to go for next year.
She laid two, four, six good eggs for the second clutch.
Not bad at all, I mean,
so far the Pueblan year's been really good.
We've got some new Pueblans that Lauren showed you
the other day that're coming up for next year
that are even better, cleaner, wider bands,
all that type of stuff.
I think we have one corn snake clutch to collect still.
This next clutch is actually from a hypo-Blood Red
that is actually het for Plasma,
which is the lavender diffuse course,
and then this is the actually just a double het
lavender diffused corn, or a Plasma corn here.
So, we could get some Plasma.
She laid a really nice clutch the first clutch
so we'll see what she's got going on,
oop, she's got one egg over here,
I dunno why she laid that out of the clutch box,
we're gonna go ahead and check
just to make sure there's no other eggs out anywhere else.
That's a little weird,
we'll get the shed outta here,
get some water in here,
you guys know the routine,
and let's see what she's got goin' on, okay.
Well she's definitely passed everything,
looks like there's only a couple eggs in here
which is really kinda weird,
but she looks really good,
I mean, looks like her conditioning is fantastic,
almost looks like she didn't even lay a clutch of eggs
this year, she looks so good, so.
I wonder if there's only the two eggs in this box
I'm gonna go ahead and put 'em in here,
I'll probably candle 'em, just to make sure,
I'm gonna check to see, ah, there's a little slugger
in the back over here and then of course this little egg
that's pretty desiccated or dented in,
we'll put it in here and hopefully we can save that egg.
So it looks like we just had three good eggs,
one slug from that female,
so that was definitely a small clutch but,
again, second clutches go that way.
And that's it for collecting snake eggs for the day.
(laughs)
- All right guys, down here in the basement
with our boy RJ,
and we're down here for only one reason,
and one reason only, and that is to talk about
our next challenge is coming up, all right?
And by challenge, I mean 24 hour challenge
or 3 AM challenge, all right?
We're having a hard time deciding which one we should do,
so we're gonna leave it up to you guys, right.
We're either gonna do the 24 hour Lucy challenge, right?
Or, are you ready for this, Eric?
Or, we're gonna do an overnight 3 AM challenge in RJ's pond.
- [Eric] Oh, yeah! - [Noah] With RJ.
- Dude, why don't we just do a 24 hour 3 AM challenge?
Think about it.
- Mind-blowing, man.
But, in RJ's pond, if we do that one,
we're gonna be sitting there in pool floaties.
- I'm honestly worried about that, dude.
- Bro, we're gonna be in like, those little,
y'know, those circular tubes that you're
in the lazy river with, right?
- What if he wakes up and wants a lil midnight snack?
Lil intertube, intertube.
- That's why you gotta make sure that you got the
Jack Link's beef jerky ready to just like,
RJ, go get that, over there!
Over there! - I'm honestly nervous
about this.
- You should be!
(laughs)
- So, make sure you guys Like the comments down below,
we're gonna have a couple comments down below
saying either Lucy 24 hour challenge
or RJ 3 AM challenge.
Like those comments, and the one with the most Likes
is the challenge that we are going to do.
So, make sure you guys do that.
And let us know your thoughts down below.
- What we're doin' today is
we're going through baby colubrids.
The other day, we marked a bunch of the larger ones
that needed to move from middle-size tubs
up into adult-size tubs, and
Eric moved those up.
So now what we're doin' is we're movin' the babies
that are in shoe boxes that are now getting too big
for these that go into the half-tubs.
So, I've been goin' through,
I've marked a few ones,
we've got quite a few that he needs to move up.
Some of 'em are pretty neat,
I'm pretty excited about two.
- [Eric] Ah, yeah, I like that one!
- We've been workin', raising these gray bands
up for a little while, so it's nice to see
that these guys are definitely startin' to get ready.
Hopefully we'll have a few up next year.
We'll definitely have the whole group up year after.
This is a really nice - [Eric] I really like,
yeah, I really, just the color, look at it!
- Yeah, yeah, this is Blair's Phase,
and I've always been a fan of those.
Another one I can show you guys is
again, I was showin' you yesterday, we've got
a Cal King group that's growin' up.
Here's a really nice albino Cal King,
again, gettin' too big for the shoe boxes,
ready for that middle-size tub, so.
She could definitely probably, if,
if she eats really good for you,
she'll be ready to breed next year.
- That's awesome.
- And one more, because these are always near and dear
to my heart,
raisin' up a few new Hognose.
'Cause you can never have enough of these,
people love 'em, and this is a nice chunky female.
- Eats every time!
- I mean these things are just like, garbage disposals,
aren't they? - Yeah, seriously.
- No, they bite me every time,
every single time.
It's actually, I think it's that one up there,
'cause I reach up and it gets me on surprise.
- It doesn't bite me, see?
Just Eric. (laughs)
- It's 'cause I smell like frogs, probably.
- Exactly.
But anyways, I just put these orange tags on 'em,
so there's quite a few up here,
so, Eric, you've got your work cut out for you.
- Job security.
- Remember the other day I cut that Black Pastel Lesser
to an Enchi Banana clutch?
Oh, my God.
They came out the eggs and they are ridiculous.
You guys ready for this?
There they are!
Unbelievable!
Remember, I said, I wasn't even sure
what this animal is right here?
I was like, what is that?
I thought it might be, like, a Calico,
well, now it makes a whole lotta sense,
now they climbed out
and that's what happens,
oftentimes in the egg you're guessing
but you can't see the animal!
Once it climbs out you have a complete understanding
of what's going on.
This of course is a Black Pastel Enchi
and those two together just make those unbelievably,
oranges come through, oh, my god.
I was excited.
And that's kinda like, the least,
as far as two-gene animals in the clutch
other than this one here,
which is a Banana Enchi Ball python.
Now the Banana and the Enchi mix really well together,
get tons of oranges come through,
reduction of pattern,
really cool blushing,
I mean, this is an absolutely beautiful animal.
And then moving on to the next animal
that is actually a Black Pastel Lesser Banana,
so it's a three-gene animal,
and that Black Pastel Lesser mix together really good,
much like the Sinni and Lesser do as well.
And then you put it into the Banana and it just makes
a really interesting animal.
I love the color hues and the tones,
I mean, this is a really beautiful snake.
But the crème de la crème, the one that just blew me away,
was all five genes in one.
That's right.
We basically have a Banana Enchi Black Pastel kingpin.
Course, the kingpin is the Pinstripe and the Lesser.
So with all five genes,
we have Banana, we have Enchi,
we have Black Pastel, we have Pinstripe,
and we have Lesser and ho, my gosh,
is that thing a ripper.
I mean, it's absolutely gorgeous!
I tell you what, this is a powerhouse!
And by the way, I think I'm gonna be keepin' this guy
because I just love him,
I cannot wait till he grows up,
gets a little bit more coloration in him
as that Banana starts to turn,
it's gonna get even more incredible
and down the road this is gonna be a great animal
to breed to a bunch of females, so.
Again, I thought this was a decent clutch when we cut it,
but once everything climbed out of the egg,
I was blown away at how amazing these animals are.
So, that's one clutch.
And I also have a Pastel to a Pastel Scaleless het
that all hatched out as well.
And let's see what we have in this clutch,
now again,
it's really hard to tell if it's scaleless het
in the egg because their heads are typically buried.
Not to mention, a lotta scaleless hets
aren't lacking a lot of scales on their head,
they're just kinda jumbled patterns and stuff like that.
So until you get 'em out and really
take a close look at 'em,
you can't really tell.
This one is just a normal ball python,
not Scaleless or anything.
The interesting thing about this clutch is
it was a Pastel bred to a Pastel Scaleless het,
and we didn't get any Super Pastels, just a couple Pastels
but nevertheless, this is abso-
(loud grinding noise)
this is absolutely a Pastel Scaleless Head.
You can see it's missing a bunch of scales on its head,
so that's one Pastel Scaleless Head for sure,
let's take a look at this little normal,
oh, yeah, right off the bat you can tell
this animal's lacking scales on its head.
So we've got one Pastel Scaleless Head,
we've got one Scaleless Head,
we'll look at this other normal right here,
and see,
oh and this is a great example,
it's just a little bit of missing scales
but this is definitely a Scaleless Head Normal,
but there's not a lotta scales missing
but there's 100% no doubt about it.
Usually right down where that V kind of matches,
that's where it usually is lacking,
kinda almost like that brow between the eyes.
That one's definitely a Scaleless Head as well,
and lastly, a Pastel Scaleless Head for sure.
So that, actually, was a really good clutch.
We didn't get the Super Pastel, but we got two
Pastel Scaleless Heads,
we got two Scaleless Head,
and just one normal, so.
Not bad, huh, so.
Anyways, I just wanted to update you on the animals
we cut the other day.
So I have actually three tours back to back to back to back,
so it's gonna be a busy few hours,
but it's gonna be absolutely amazing.
I think my first tour is here now.
Hey guys, welcome, welcome, guys.
Where did you say you were from, again?
- We're actually from Independence, Missouri.
- [Brian] Independence, Missouri.
Perfect timing for the Fourth of July, right?
So that's great.
Love your shirt and your Charmander.
So, what d'you say we look at a bunch of cool animals?
- Yeah, let's do it!
- [Brian] Let's do it!
(chill electronic music)
All right, my next tour is in the house,
where're you guys from?
- Wyoming.
- [Brian] Wyoming! - We came all the way here
just to see this!
- [Brian] Get outta here!
Oh, my gosh, well I'll do the best I can do to hang out
and make sure it's worth it.
You ready? - Mmm-hmm!
- All right, let's do this!
All right, so the deal is, is that
I was the number one choice here.
They chose the Brian tour over the Eric, Noah and Eric tour.
- That's messed up! That's messed up.
- I may act tough, but I got a lotta feelings.
- They did say, what,
that if I wasn't available-
- It woulda been Eric. - Yep.
'Cause this is when we had to come, so.
- [Eric] Aw, second best!
- Second best.
- [Eric] First is the worst, second is the best.
- [Noah] Yeah, that's what we gotta tell 'em.
(all chattering)
(laughing)
- [Brian] Say hi to your dad.
- Hey, dad, how's it goin', man?
Hope you feel better.
- I hope his dad feels better, I hope that you can
come out next time and come visit with me too.
So, I'll be sendin' positive vibes your way.
In the meantime, let's look at snakes.
- All right, let's do it.
(chill electronic music)
- And then I think I'm gonna go ahead and end the day here
wish you guys an amazing day,
tell you how much I love your beautiful faces,
ask you to be kind to someone,
and I promise, I will see you guys tomorrow.
(chill electronic music)
