- Hey, good morning everybody
and welcome to the vlog.
I hope the start of your day is incredible.
I'm with my girl Perdita here, and guess what?
We're going to be feeding some snakes today.
So for those of you that like feeding videos, buckle up,
it's gonna be a banger.
You ready to eat, girl?
She's ready.
There you go, there.
Ah, that little girl,
she came out all ferocious
and then she gave the little kind of a bud.
I love this girl so much.
She's getting a nice meal today.
And everything here is going to get a nice meal.
So we got pigs, we got rats, we got mice,
we got a lot of stuff to feed.
So let's just keep jumping into it
and have an amazing day.
And don't you worry, we still have baby snakes,
all that stuff's coming today too.
So, but we have a lot of work.
It's gonna be a busy day.
Pickles has been loving her new enclosure.
Let's just see if we can get her to come out here and eat.
Come on little girl.
Here she comes.
Whoop.
Come on, girl.
You ready?
There she goes, whoa!
Like I said,
she loves this new enclosure, looks so dope in here.
Absolutely love her, she is amazing,
again, a Biak green tree Python.
Always one of the funnest and most energetic snakes I
feed besides Butterscotch of course, is my guy Casper here.
And Casper is definitely gonna be ready to eat here.
Come on, bud.
Come on buddy.
Come on.
Don't miss, don't miss, don't miss, don't miss.
Oh, he got it, good.
Good job, Casper.
What a beautiful snake.
I tell you what, like I said,
sometimes he misses, he comes flying at me.
It gets your heart rate up.
And I tell you what,
today I just don't feel like taking a bite
if you guys don't mind.
I know you'd probably liked that,
but I don't want to take a bite.
Let's go ahead and feed Sunrise.
Sunrise just shed out,
and I know she is ready for some food.
Come on little monkey, come on little girl.
She looks like she's ready, come on, girl.
You got it, you got it, sweetheart.
Let's go, let's go.
Let's go.
So what I have to do with her,
sometimes when she doesn't take food like this,
which is pretty common for her,
sometimes she just doesn't strike food.
I'll just lay it in her cage and she'll crawl right up to it
and start eating it, no big deal at all.
So I'll just go ahead and put it like this.
We'll get her in here and slowly, gently kinda tell her,
okay, you find it on your own little girl.
And like I said, she's such a sweetheart.
I mean, there's not a lot of snakes
that you can literally offer food to like that,
and then just gently move her with your hand
and she's not going to go,
but she will crawl up to it and eat it in a second.
My girl Sunfire is looking amazing.
And I know she is, and I know she is ready for a meal.
Oh, there she goes.
She's got it, what a beautiful snake.
And again, I always talk about the fact
that these guys get prettier as they get bigger.
When she hits 18, 20 foot like Lucy's size,
she's going to blow your mind.
You're going to need sunglasses to look at that animal.
But she loves pigs.
I found the fact that she loves pigs.
She doesn't like rabbits at all.
So I was feeding her rats and she wasn't growing that fast.
Now that she loves little frozen pigs,
whoo, this girl is going to get big, quick.
I've mentioned before that one of my favorite
scaleless corn snakes is the Abbott.
And this was actually a het scaleless to a scaleless Abbott,
so, and look at this one's head's poking out right there.
There's still some in the egg,
but we have a slew of Abbott's Okeetees here.
I mean, this one was great.
Remember we had a couple of clutches
where we didn't hit the odds very well?
This one looks like we went the other way,
where we have a lot of scaleless Abbott's Okeetees
and I'm going to just put them in the water and get that
vermiculite off, and oh my gosh,
these guys look so good, it's crazy.
Look at those black borders on them.
That's what makes the Abbott's Okeetees
so absolutely incredible, wow.
I tell you what,
and then this little cute monkey with his head piggered up.
Oh my God, that is so cute.
So definitely a bunch of Abbott's Okeetees.
I'm going to raise a bunch of stuff up,
'cause I think they're the coolest
scaleless corn snake, for sure.
And I want to produce more of them.
And these guys are rippers.
I remember when this girl laid her clutch of eggs.
I was so excited.
Of course these are mex mex,
but these are actually granite mex mex.
So San Luis Potosi kingsnake,
and these guys are the granited version,
and they are so good.
I mean, I tell you what, I love mex mex.
They're one of my favorite little kingsnakes for sure.
And they are so pretty and they're really variable.
Again, they are a Mexicana kingsnake,
and oh, these guys are all over the place,
they're absolutely crazy.
Whoo, slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down guys.
Oh my gosh, they are absolutely cool.
But again, the normal mex mex won't have
all of the graniting in the sides
and kind of the wild stripey pattern
like some of these guys have.
So they look absolutely incredible.
I was super excited when she laid her first clutch of eggs,
and now to see the babies is amazing.
And again, she has another clutch of eggs
that's ready to hatch here
in another four or five weeks too.
So we're going to have more of these babies coming up soon.
They are so awesome.
(techno music)
Let's see if the bull snake El Toro wants to eat.
Come on little monkey, come on.
There you go, buddy.
And he's an awesome snake, I love that guy.
You know, Geoffrey's going to eat.
He actually just shed out too,
and he looks absolutely wonderful.
This snake is always, always hungry,
and always eats like a champ.
There you go, buddy, what a cool snake.
And again, I think that Geoffrey and Al Machino
are like the two stars over here.
People love Moo Moo as well,
but it seems like everyone really loves Geoffrey.
And of course, Al Machino is always a hit.
And like I mentioned,
Al is a favorite and he is definitely
going to be ready to eat.
Come on, bud.
Come on, come on, come on.
Oh, there you go, buddy.
Nice, perfect hit right there.
Looks beautiful, tell you what, that snake is a ripper.
Peaches the hypo Honduran milk snake is up next.
It's always interesting,
'cause I just have to get her moving., there you go.
She's always a monster.
That's one of the things I like about Honduran milk snakes,
with milk snakes they are usually the
typically the best feeding milk snakes.
They'll always take it out of your hand.
Pueblan milk snakes can be great too,
but they typically like to eat off of, kind of the ground,
just leaving it alone.
So I love Hondurans and the hypos are gorgeous.
See if we can't get Lucky
the Amazon tree boa to come out and get some food.
Come on, buddy.
There it is.
Good job, he's such a cool snake.
I talked about how I love this enclosure,
and he always just hangs out right down there.
I wish he'd go up in the trees,
but nevertheless, he's still an awesome snake.
Continuing the Night Fury ball training,
come on, over here.
Over here, yep over here, over here, over here, over here,
over here all the way, all the way, all the way,
all the way, now I'll give him the...
There you go, buddy, good job.
It's pretty cool, man,
that he literally keys off the ball now
and realizes that food's coming.
What an incredible snake.
Super cool little clutch of ball pythons
that hatched out here.
It's actually a pin specter that was bred to a mahogany.
Now, honestly, we got a couple eggs
that are still left to hatch,
so we'll see what these guys go,
but this is basically a pin mahogany right here,
which we produced in the past, which is pretty cool.
But what I was super happy about, which by the way,
this is a mahogany here,
just to give you an idea of that
kind of darker animal, right?
Really cool, but what's interesting
is we hit three of the kind of three gene animals here
that look so absolutely amazing.
These are actually pinstripe mahogany specters.
Holy moly.
I was not expecting them to look this absolutely cool,
and kind of speckled like that.
Oh my goodness, those animals are unbelievable.
So much better than I expected.
I mean, I put this pairing together thinking
that it might be something cool, we'll see what happens.
'Cause you never know when you're getting into stuff like
specters, 'cause it's a lilac with yellow belly,
it may be a mahogany'll do something cool.
And I tell you what it did something really, really cool.
Those guys are unbelievable.
I could not be more happier.
I mean just take a look at that animal right there.
Whoo doggie, I tell you what, those guys are ridiculous.
I'm probably going to have to raise
some of these up for sure, 'cause I love them.
Got a little clutch of ball pythons that hatched out,
which is a woma lesser pin bred to a pastel.
So we just have a bunch of really cool little babies here.
Looks like we have one little lesser ball python
right here, so just a single gene animal.
Then we actually produced a couple of the pastel lessers,
the two gene animals right here.
The woma lesser pin is basically this one right here.
We did not hit a pastel woma lesser pin
in this clutch, which is fine.
Then the little normal ball python,
and then this is just a pastel woma,
a really beautiful pastel woma though.
Really light and kind of just beautiful, really good.
So although we didn't hit the all gene animal,
we hit some pretty cool stuff.
These lessers are absolutely awesome.
The woma lesser pin is really cool,
and this pastel woma also is pretty darn cool as well.
So continue to add just lots of babies.
When these shed out I'll give you guys the update.
(techno music)
Let's see if Moo Moo wants to eat for us.
Come on girl, come on, whoa.
Wanna eat?
There we go baby.
Whoo, wasn't exactly in the best spot for me.
I had to climb in the cage to get to her,
but she's getting just more and more spots,
looking more and more beautiful.
It's going to be interesting to see
what she looks like here in a year from now.
Well we've got Snap and Pop the black headed pythons.
You can see they're not in here.
And you know, when we initially did the enclosures,
we wanted to be able to take the water bowls out because
we took them out to scrub them and stuff like that.
Now that we use the Pondovac
and we can actually disinfect and scrub in here,
I think we're going to actually secure these
right to the floor because guess what?
You don't see Snap and Pop because they're underneath here.
Oh, here they are.
Oh, well, actually Snap is in shed.
We'll go ahead and see if we can get Pop to eat.
Here you go bud, oh, yep, he's ready.
And what I always do with this one right here is just to
make sure there's never a problem,
I'll just kind of put him up on a ledge,
put him up on a ledge up here
for him to eat and stuff like that.
That way Snap, the female,
can just kind of hang out down here.
She's in shed, but we can actually even try.
Sometimes these guys will eat in shed.
Nope, this one is not going to, but again,
we'll foam this down so that
they can't get underneath there.
There's plenty of hiding spots all around here.
They don't need to be underneath the water bowl,
and that way people can actually see them when they come.
But for now, one of the black heads ate,
the other one's deep in shed.
Got my cool boa Jigsaw here.
Come on, buddy.
There you go.
Just a really cool boa that I love to death.
It kind of looks like a jungle.
But to be honest with you, it has no jungle blood in it.
So we call it Jigsaw just 'cause it has such a cool pattern.
Hopefully one day we can raise it up and breed it.
It's actually a female, to be honest with you.
And hopefully one day we can see
if we can prove out this crazy pattern.
Of course, my girl Tiger Lily, the Brazilian rainbow boa.
She usually always is really good about eating,
really good snake, it's actually het for hypo,
to be honest with you as well.
There she goes.
So one day we have the hypo Brazilian male,
which is a recessive mutation,
and hopefully we can breed them and produce some more hypos.
That would be really good.
But she's probably got another year left
before she would be big enough to breed.
Take a quick look at Santana the Savannah monitor.
We ended up moving him up to this new enclosure here
a few weeks back and he just loves it.
I mean just chilling up right here on the top,
getting his basking light,
it's probably about 115 or so degrees right there.
And that's the thing with a lot of monitor lizards,
you want really hot temperatures for a hotspot, right?
If you're at 90, 95, it's just not going to be warm enough.
You need 110 plus degrees.
Some monitors literally can do 130,
140 degrees on the basking spot.
But nevertheless, he's obviously chilling out,
loving his little hotspot,
he's got all kinds of areas to climb on and come down,
and he is so puppy dog tame.
I love this guy so much,
and he's only going to get bigger and more awesome.
He'll definitely be coming out a lot more here
when we're open at the Reptarium,
because he's just such a cool, chill animal.
Sunrise still isn't eating,
not sure if she will, she looks really interested,
but she hasn't been going up to the pig.
So we'll just keep an eye on her and hopefully
she'll eventually start eating.
This is the first time that we've actually fed Ace
in his new enclosure.
We moved him into this bigger enclosure,
he seems to be really liking it.
So let's go ahead and see if he's wanting to eat.
And yep, Id say he wants to eat.
He definitely loves it,
and I love when you move an animal
into a new enclosure and it eats right away.
That means it's really happy and it's not stressed out.
He looks absolutely incredible.
Unusual for Maizie to come out like this,
must be extra hungry today.
There you go, buddy.
Normally he stays in his little hide over there
and I just can feed him right in that.
Come on bud, there you go.
Oh my gosh, that's awesome.
I'm just going to put another one down on the ground,
he'll always go up and eat a second one.
But like I said, normally he's right up here,
today he decided to come out and greet me,
meaning that he must have been extra, extra hungry.
I tell you what Snazzy has been going crazy for the last
three or four days, like wanting to get out.
I just think that it's ready for a good meal.
So go ahead Snazzy, you ready to eat?
Come on buddy.
There you go, baby.
Oh, there you go.
What a cute little monkey,
I tell you what, this guy is such a beautiful animal.
And I tell you what guys,
that is feeding all the animals at the Reptarium,
or at least all the snakes that eat rodents
fed at the Reptarium for the week.
And as always, next week we'll have to do it all over again.
So there it is, I mean, pretty awesome day.
Got to feed a bunch of animals, had baby snakes,
I mean, it was awesome.
I love feeding snakes.
I hope you guys loved watching feeding snakes.
If you guys do, here's a playlist you can roll through
of a bunch of feeding snakes.
I hope that you'll enjoy that for sure.
