- Excited.
I am down here with Sabrina and Steve
at Xtreme Exotic Wildlife Foundation.
We're about to see some really cool animals.
I'm gonna put a link in the description
to all their social media.
They've got a cool YouTube channel as well
as TikTok, all kinds of stuff.
Show them some love.
We're gonna have fun today, right?
- Absolutely. - For sure.
- All right, let's go do it.
Steve I love red ruffeds, oh my gosh.
They're so amazing. How long have you guys had these?
- [Steve] So, this one is going on about
two and a half years old now.
Our oldest ones here are about four.
- [Brian] So mellow.
Did you guys get them when they were just babies?
You can tell.
- We raised these guys up from babies.
We have one pair that we got when they were older.
Cause some people came into some family issues,
so we took them in, but they have triplets right now.
So they're not letting everybody go snuggle with.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh, this is the one the
most mellow lemurs I've ever seen.
This is so dope.
- These are critically endangered.
So, all the lemurs come from Madagascar and
they are critically endangered.
So, we're really excited about having a breeding program for
these because unfortunately, due to deforestation,
you know, we're gonna end up losing these guys.
So, breeding them in a healthy line, breeding in captivity,
in zoos and wildlife facilities
like ours are gonna be the only way
that we save species like this.
- Take a look at this quince monitor here.
He does have a little bit of burn on him
and stuff like that.
That's from when he was young,
before they got rescued here.
But wow, that is just one of the most
spectacular quince I've seen and
that color on it is unbelievable.
It looks like he's not exactly super happy with me
being here, but I'm going to give him his space,
you know, not get too close to him or
anything like that and just admire him from afar.
But holy moly, that thing is awesome.
- [Sabrina] Come on, Rufus buddy!
He'll come all the way down.
- [Brian] Rufus, that's my buddy.
- [Sabrina] I'll get your belly, I'll get your belly,
I'll get your belly, I'll get it!
He does a couple of tricks, he's so excited.
- [Brian] You so excited, buddy.
- [Steve] Hi buddy.
- Rufus's mom sadly was hit and killed by a car.
So, he was taken to a rehab center here in Florida.
Brevard Zoo treated him and they found that
he had deformities in all four feet.
Doesn't have MBD, bones are correctly calcified,
so straight deformities.
So, he can't ever be released back into the wild.
And so we were lucky enough to get to be his forever home.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh and he is such a cutie.
- [Sabrina] He's an absolute doll. I just love him.
- [Steve] I know you smell all the crazy stuff that I do.
You smell it all.
- [Sabrina] Sweet boy.
- I'm so obsessed with him.
- I'm obsessed with him, I work with him every day.
He's been upgraded to two different pool sizes.
He's a great swimmer.
So, he's going to get a big walk-in pool
He eats a lot though, compared to like,
we have the two asian small claws and obviously he's a much
bigger species, eats more food.
And he really does, so they eat twice a day.
He three times a day.
- [Brian] Three times a day, oh my gosh.
- And now, of course, my favorite cat of all time,
of course, the clouded leopard.
Look at these guys.
So, who do we have here?
- This is Sweetpea and Sumi.
- [Brian] Sweetpea and Sumi.
- [Sabrina] They're sisters.
- [Brian] Don't sue me, please.
- [Sabrina] How about those pants?
- [Brian] I know it's just because this has been
around too many animals, oh my gosh.
- Hi sweetheart, hi baby.
- Clouded leopards are certainly
some of the most amazing animals.
- [Sabrina] They're incredible.
- [Brian] They've got those big canines.
- [Sabrina] Longest teeth to skull size ratio of any cat.
- [Brian] Oh, your trying to bite me, aren't you?
You're like, I want those pants.
Give me the pants.
- [Steve] You talk about teeth and he's like, oh,
let me show you what they're like.
- [Brian] Look at the paws here.
Of course, they have those retractable claws.
- [Sabrina] We call those the murder mittens.
- [Brian] You have murder mittens.
Did you know that Michigan we refer to as the murder mitten,
- Really?
- Because it looks like a mitten.
- [Sabrina] Oh that's funny, oh my gosh.
- [Brian] It's absolutely amazing, no nibbles.
She's like, no, I'm getting those pants.
- [Steve] It smells so good.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh, look at these guys.
Well hi little monkey, what are you doing there?
- [Sabrina] A squirrel.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh.
Camera guys always get the worst of it. Right Jay?
- Oh dude, but it's the best too.
- It's literally painful.
- [Sabrina] Hello foxy, here you come, foxy Maxy.
- [Brian] There you are.
- [Sabrina] Hey baby, hey baby, hey foxy Maxy.
- [Brian] Hey foxy Maxy.
- [Sabrina] So, the crazy thing that people never realize
with him is he's a red fox.
- [Brian] Really?
- And he's just a color mutation.
- [Brian] A color mutation,
what color mutation is it called?
- He's called a platinum glaze.
- [Brian] He is beautiful.
- We have seven red foxes and they're all different colors.
- [Brian] Different colors.
This is Chomper The Bobcat.
Hi bud, oh what do you smell?
You probably smell the lemur.
- The sweetest bobcat in the world and the prettiest.
- [Brian] It is beautiful.
How long have you had him?
- Gosh, we've had him almost three years now.
He likes shoes.
What's really cute is that we have him first and he actually
lived with one of our carers first,
when we got that second bobcat and put them together,
they had a whole new language that they spoke to each other.
It was the cutest thing.
He made noises we had never heard him make before.
Really cute.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh.
- [Sabrina] I think he likes you.
- [Brian] Do you like me buddy?
Yeah, I like you.
Oh, there goes the thunder.
Just got into a cage with a bunch of
little squirrel monkeys.
Gotta be a little quiet.
- That's Mama, he's getting on Mama's back.
- [Brian] Look at that, that is so cute.
- [Sabrina] There's the babies, look at them way up there.
- [Brian] Oh my God.
- So, we just added this.
We still have a lot to add, more branches and some hammocks
and things, but we were super excited
to give them this real tall space.
- [Brian] Oh my God, they love it.
You can tell, look at them.
- [Sabrina] Yeah, it's so much fun.
We have a little picnic area up there.
So, you go and sit and then they're like right next door.
- [Brian] They're right next to you, that's awesome.
- [Sabrina] Look at baby on Mama.
- [Brian] The baby is so cute.
You guys know that I have been
on a quest for pied alligators.
Well, here is a pied alligator right here.
That thing is ridiculous.
I really, I mean, the tail is as good as it gets
and lots of white up through
the sides and stuff like that.
Got the white around the eyes.
Of course, a lot of times the pies will
have a little bit different color eye as well.
Now, I know where to get a pie because
I'm going to definitely need one.
So, you got to got to get me one.
- Someone will get you one.
- [Brian] All right, cool.
- Sabrina, I love all your animals so far,
but I gotta be honest with you.
There's one animal that you need to get together.
And that's a, this guy here.
- Dude, this is my most difficult to train animal.
- [Brian] Yeah, yeah.
- He's also the most difficult to feed.
- That's because you let me free roam.
- The thing that's interesting about these guys,
it's the only rodent that has web feet,
which is really interesting.
So, these are really adept swimmers, which is pretty cool.
Of course, sadly, you know,
I wouldn't want to have these guys in with my girl Ivy,
because she would love to eat these guys, that's for sure,
because in the wild, this is going to be
a mainstay for anacondas but in captivity,
thankfully they just live here and are absolutely amazing.
And this guy look at this guy, all my goodness.
Oh man.
- They're also the largest rodent in the world.
Largest rodent in the world.
They're just a giant guinea pig.
- [Brian] They really are a giant guinea pig.
- [Sabrina] You even got Potato to be sweet,
little sweet Potato.
- So this is actually going to be
the Otter pond, which is cool.
So, which otters are going in here?
- So, the asian small clawed are going to go in here.
- [Brian] Asian small claws are going here,
what a set up dude.
- They're gonna have their own rock water slide,
they've got a little waterfall, the stairs have water,
because they really just want to play
with things that splash.
So, we wanted everything to move
in here so they could play around with it.
This is first class.
Otter slide.
- I know I told you.
- You thought of it first.
I think they stole your idea.
- I'm suing.
You do you need to take tips, I swear you
cannot build an outer enclosure without a slide.
- Without an otter slide, you can't, it's obvious.
- The asian small clawed are not big swimmers.
They do not like big,
deep water where they play.
In Asia, there's a lot of just streams.
So, they prefer the shallows.
Like they have their ponds in there,
but when you turn the water on it, something splashing,
they would rather splash in the puddle than
be inside the pond.
- These are amazing.
These are actually prehensile tail porcupines
and they are so amazing.
Of course, obviously they have those prehensile out tails.
And so many people think that
porcupines like throw their quills.
The truth is they really don't throw a quills at all.
They'll back up to you and stick you with the quills.
But the prehensile tails are usually really, really good.
I love that little nose almost looks like
a platypus or something like that.
Oh, there's one, hi.
Again, you can see how he's kind of
pushing his quills out just a little bit.
If I were to go like this, maybe I get some in my hand.
So, I won't do that obviously.
But look at how cute that face is.
- My favorite animals that we have, super cool thing is that
they are related to mongooses and mere cats, right?
So, they do that mere cat stand.
They stand up on the back legs, the cutest thing.
But Jenny we've had, since she was a baby
and she is one of the most playful, fun, sweet animals.
I just love her.
- They're fully litter box trained bat-eared fox,
but they will not.
If I roll an inch in bed, they have to roll an inch.
They cannot sleep unless they're touching me.
It doesn't matter how, where I move,
which direction one has to sleep in my arms,
one has to sleep on the bed.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh, that's amazing.
That's Marshmallow and Fluff.
- I think instead of a jennette,
I think I'm going to get one of these.
- These are the best indoor animal you can own.
Because they have no odor like a fox does
and they use the litter box.
- [Brian] What are they called?
- [Jay] Bat-eared fox.
- [Brian] Bat-eared fox.
All right, that's it.
I know what to get you for Christmas.
- Oh my birthday is in 10 days.
- [Brian] Let's do it.
Oh my gosh.
Feeding a little baby roo.
Well, not a baby, but a 10 month old.
But still, these guys will typically live
in a pouch for up to a year.
So, they're going to always be the
bottle fed up until about that time.
Probably eating a little bit
of solids as well, too at this size,
but they're still going to
spend plenty of time in the pouch.
Of course, these are Toco toucans,
which are definitely like the best of the toucans in my,
well, in most people's opinions.
But they're amazing. I mean,
this is what you think of when you think of a toucan.
The toco's are just so clean and unbelievable.
- Come here, gonna let you meet new people, mans.
Yeah, the largest of the toucans too.
I always say I'm not a bird person, I'm a toucan person.
I love toucans, petrified of birds.
Love toucans.
- I need some blueberries, that's what I need.
So, we just left the sanctuary.
Now, we're actually at Steve and Sabrina's pet shop.
It's called Xtreme Exotic.
This place is crazy.
You walked in to this tiny.
I don't even know what to say.
And there are so many cool animals here.
I mean, just take a look around.
I mean, this is like no reptile pet shop
I've ever been into.
It is ridiculous, I mean, they've got so many great animals.
They're set up as amazing.
I mean, you can walk around and got rhino iguanas over here.
You've got boas.
You've got giant bearded dragons.
You've got yo lace monitors.
You've got, I mean, it's just crazy.
I mean, look at all of these animals,
then you come back here to a giant Taman pond.
That is just absolutely ridiculous.
I mean, do you see this in a pet shop ever?
Oh, wait, I'm not done yet.
We've got Chinese water dragons.
We've got another giant enclosure over here.
That's absolutely incredible.
Just look at this place.
It is ridiculous, this is so cool.
So, we're just going to dive in,
look at a few animals because this is incredible.
If you guys are ever in the Jacksonville area,
you got to come pay these guys a visit.
Again, I'm going to put a link in
the description to not only all
their stuff with the sanctuary, but also with the pet shop,
because this place is dope.
It's been a while since I've seen a labyrinth burm,
but this is actually a hypo labyrinth, huh?
- Yes it is.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh, dude.
That is crazy.
Where did all the labyrinths go?
- I think everybody hoarded all the cool ones.
Everybody kept them in and nobody shares them
cause then everybody calls and goes, can I buy that?
- [Brian] That is ridiculous.
It's been a while since I've seen those.
So, I love Burmese pythons.
You guys know that,
and this is an absolute river.
So, this one is the blackest boa at this size I've seen,
this is amazing.
What's the genetics?
- So this is a type two anery IMG, called a black devil,
- [Brian] Black devil.
- And she truly is a little devil.
- Oh my God, that thing it is ridiculous.
I mean that I need something like that.
Silky black like that, that is ridiculous.
- [Brian] Sir?
- Yes, can I help you?
- [Brian] Can I get some help?
- Yes, sir, how many and what size sir?
- [Brian] I really want three crickets.
- I'm tired of all your questions.
- [Brian] Three, three crickets.
- I don't have patience for this.
- [Brian] But they can't be over, over a quarter inch.
- Sir, I don't have calibers back there.
I don't know how to measure this for you.
- [Brian] I'm going somewhere else.
Wow Steve, this is fricking dope.
- Yeah so here's our cool little
crock monitor cage to work on.
I got a couple of kinks with their waterfall.
That's fixed here, but other than that,
it's going to be King's cage.
So, he has the little mansion and then
we have three females we're growing up.
So, he's going to have the lovely ladies to live with.
- [Brian] And so this is a male here and he's chill, huh?
- He's really cool actually.
Yeah. I mean he's a friendly lizard.
Oh my gosh. You say that you want to go run away.
- Oh, that's okay.
It's all right, bud.
- Wow. I don't smell like rat.
I don't smell like a rat.
- What an animal, I tell you what?
This is impressive, I mean, this enclosure is mammoth.
What a great enclosure for this and look at him.
He just loves you.
This is what we've got to get
baby push to be like this actually amazing.
So, wow, dude, this is crazy.
- And he's cool because he's like four years old
and almost eight feet already.
So, they grow quick for everybody wanting a crock monitor.
Not the beginner monitor, most are not like this.
- [Brian] No, not at all.
Look how sad this is.
This is actually a sulcata that got smashed.
No, I'm kidding.
This is actually what they call a pancake tortoise.
These guys are really cool.
You don't see them around at all.
And one of the things that's amazing is yeah,
they're literally like this,
a little pancakes and that's why they call them that.
And they only lay one egg at a time.
Believe it or not each year.
And used to see these in the pet trade all the time.
Now they're very rare.
So, you don't see them.
So, it's really a pleasure to see an animal like that.
But isn't it crazy?
It really does look like a sulcata.
It just kind of got stomped on or something like that.
But this is the way they're supposed to be.
So, we have a couple of cool snakes out here.
I'm not sure which one I like, well,
these are two good snakes.
We got an Eastern indigo right here.
Absolutely beautiful.
And then I am blown away.
See what in the world.
- Lavender false water cobra.
So, one of the few morphs false water cobras,
but definitely one of the coolest
that everybody wants to have.
- Oh my God.
You guys know, I like purple gray snake.
I think I found my new favorite here.
That is a wonderful amos recessive mutation.
Oh my gosh.
- [Sabrina] You need one.
- [Brian] I need one.
- You need both.
- I need both.
Oh my God.
That's amazing.
- You guys have so much cool stuff.
So many amazing animals.
I don't even know what to say anymore.
So, how old am I?
I'm like speechless, I am speechless.
This is a, a Jaguar carpet red to a chondro.
So, it's a jag-carp-chondro.
Oh my gosh, that is the yellowest in a snake.
That thing is gorgeous, holy moly.
- [Sabrina] We call it highlighter, highlighter.
- [Brian] He is highlighter, it is yellow.
- One of the only things we ever bought that got here and
it was like, oh, it's so much better than the photos.
Usually the other way around when you open a box,
you're like, okay, it's okay.
This we're like, oh my God, it's great.
- On film, it probably does it no justice.
- Well listen, if Jay doesn't
make this look good, he's done.
- I was thinking of black and white monochrome maybe.
- Thank you both for having me today, it has been amazing.
What can we do for you?
Where can I send these guys to make sure
you guys are continuing this amazing work?
- Yeah, I mean, we would love all the support on
social media so we can get our message out for
what we want to do for these animals.
So, you can follow me @wildsidesabrina and
The Wild Side With Sabrina on YouTube.
He's @xtreme_exotics and
@xtreme_wildlife_foundation on Instagram.
- And you got a cool shirt on there.
- I do have a cool shirt.
So, I've just started a merch line.
This is from my Tik-Tok @wildsidesabrina it's murder
mittens merchandise, but I'm doing different species.
So, a portion of each purchase goes
directly to that specific species conservation.
So, if you purchase something for clouded leopard image,
it goes to clouded leopard conservation.
I just added a rattlesnake image.
That's going to go to the Rattlesnake Conservancy who is
fighting things like the
rattlesnake roundup that happens every year.
So, every time you purchase part of it is
going to go to a good cause.
- All you guys do me a favor.
I'm going to put links in everything down here at,
go show them some love.
Thank you guys again.
I hope you enjoyed today's video.
If you did right here as is a playlist,
you can just roll through a couple of videos on this.
Do me a favor and hit that subscription button.
Have an absolutely amazing day everybody.
Be kind to somebody and I promise,
I'll see you in the next one.
