- Hey good morning everybody and welcome to the vlog.
I hope the start of your day is incredible.
I have a clutch of eggs sitting here
that I have been so excited about.
You know, I always say, it's top five for sure for the year.
This one for the last 57 days I've been
dreaming about cutting, 12 eggs in this clutch,
and we could hatch some crazy animals.
But unfortunately there's a little bit of a risk about this,
so let me go ahead before we cut these eggs
and talk about the potential negative thing
that might be happening.
But nevertheless let's push our problems aside,
we're gonna have a great day,
no matter what happens with this clutch.
And here's the mama, the Lori leopard ball python.
Of course the mom to that beautiful super Lori leopard
last year, and of course she was just bred to the same male
which was a Lori, to produce the super Lori leopard.
So I tell you what, with 12 eggs we are definitely excited
to see some super Lori leopards, hopefully,
but there is one little wrinkle in this one,
and that's this little thing right here.
This is actually a note from Mary that says
somehow a banana cinni pin got in here on one 27.
Now, every other breeding was that Lori male,
and it happens, I'm, you know, it happens,
we all accidentally put a male in the wrong cage,
that happens all the time.
But I am pretty bummed out about this one
because all I wanted was super Lori leopards.
So we don't know who the dad's gonna be.
Let's just get over there, cross our fingers,
have a little tribute to the snake gods,
and let's hope for the best, let's go cut this clutch.
(whoosh)
So obviously let's hope that we don't have any bananas
in this 12 egg clutch, I tell you,
with 12 eggs it's incredible.
I think there was like eight eggs last year,
we hit the super Lori leopard,
or maybe there was only five eggs now I think about it,
I think the odds were incredible.
So we have 12 eggs from that same pairing,
well, let's hope from the same pairing,
because again, let's hope the banana male isn't the father.
We're gonna find out as soon as we start cutting
who the daddy is, so let's hope for some super Loris,
and super Lori leopards.
Whoo, I tell you what, this is again,
top five anticipated clutches of the year for me,
so let's just jump into egg number one.
Wouldn't it be amazing if we hit
a super Lori leopard in the first egg?
That would make me feel so good!
Oh, I've got a super Lori,
we got a super Lori right off the rip.
I gotta just see it right here, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, is it a leopard?
I can't tell if it's a leopard,
it might be a super Lori leopard.
It is a super Lori leopard!
Are you kidding me?
First egg!
Oh my gosh!
First egg, guys!
Super Lori leopard in the first egg.
We have 11 eggs to go,
now we know at least most of this clutch,
well at least hopefully most of this clutch
is gonna be the Lori to Lori leopard.
Oh my goodness, that, I gotta take a look at that.
Oh my gosh!
That is crazy.
All right, guys, we've got 11 eggs to go,
I mean we just hit a peak, man.
All right let's go ahead, egg number two.
All right, oh my goodness,
let's just keep on rolling here.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what is this?
What is this?
Okay, I got excited, my heart rate is up.
So I've gotta calm down a little bit.
This is actually a Lori leopard though.
So pretty darn cool, a Lori leopard,
and a super Lori leopard in the first two eggs, so wow.
Oh my gosh!
Let's just keep rolling, egg number three.
Guys, I am so stoked right now
that we've got another super Lori.
And then again, now this is just a normal Lori ball python,
I hope we produce some more super stuff, right?
Even though there's super Loris, super Lori leopards,
obviously I want the super Lori leopard,
but oh my goodness, let's go.
We've still got a lot of eggs.
Number four, let's go.
I cannot believe we hit the super Lori leopard
on the very first egg.
How crazy is that?
All right, what do we got here?
Looks like another Lori ball python.
So I'll be honest with you guys,
I'm glad that we hit it on the first egg,
because if we would have hit Lori, Lori,
and then a Lori leopard without the super Lori
I'd be panicking right now.
But we still have a bunch of eggs to go,
let's go ahead and keep rolling.
And just to give you guys an idea,
you're probably looking at one in six
to hit a super Lori leopard.
So we really crushed it on that first one.
Another little Lori ball python.
Actually this is a Lori leopard too,
so we've got another Lori leopard ball python.
But still, let's see we've got two, four,
six, seven eggs to go.
Now again, on average, theoretically,
we should have a couple supers,
and maybe one more super Lori leopard.
That's the odds, that doesn't mean anything.
We could hit seven super Lori leopards,
so let's just hope for the best.
Let's get some super Loris here.
But no matter what hatches out of the rest,
just the fact that we hit that first super Lori leopard,
I am stoked.
What do we have here?
Another super Lori leopard!
Another super Lori leopard, yes!
That's two super Lori leopards in a row,
that is amazing.
Just look at that, that thing is so absolutely ridiculous.
The super Loris are amazing,
but when you add that leopard gene,
it just takes it to a completely different level.
So we hit two super Lori leopards already.
Whoo doggie, I tell you what, I am in heaven on this,
and we still have a bunch of eggs to go,
let's just keep rolling.
Oh my gosh, guys, I'm gonna need a nap
after this clutch I think.
What do we have here?
Another Lori leopard, another Lori leopard, so that's good.
The Lori leopard stuff is great.
That's that building block towards the super, right?
And again, down the road we could maybe get into like,
super Lori leopard bananas, or who knows?
I mean, there's so many options.
Maybe a super Lori leopard clown?
Could you imagine that?
Oh my gosh.
So all right, we have five eggs to go, let's do it.
I know I'm gonna get greedy now,
but I'm going like, please just one more super Lori,
or super Lori leopard, please.
And we have another super Lori!
Let's see, another super Lori leopard.
Another super Lori leopard.
Another super Lori, did I say that enough times?
Another super Lori leopard!
That is three super Lori leopards,
we haven't even hit a normal super Lori yet.
All right guys, this exceeded my expectations.
I said top five most anticipated clutches of the year,
well, we crushed the odds,
and we still have four eggs to go.
Let's, oh my, I'm definitely gonna need a nap,
let's go, let's do one more egg.
I'm telling you what, this is crazy!
When this clutch was laid I would have never thought
we were gonna have three super Lori leopards,
looks like we have another just Lori,
maybe a Lori leopard,
we'll see when it actually hatches out.
Either a Lori or Lori leopard, that's awesome.
Three eggs to go, so just maybe one more super Lori leopard?
Let's see what we get.
All right, oh my gosh, my hands are shaky now,
I'm not gonna lie to ya, they're kinda shaky.
What do we have?
Just another, this is definitely a Lori leopard.
So we're producing a lot of Lori leopard stuff too,
which is really cool, again,
great animals to raise up for future projects.
Two eggs to go.
And here we go, what do we have,
what do we have, what do we have?
Just another Lori leopard, looks like,
maybe a Lori, but probably a Lori leopard.
One egg to go.
No matter what it is, this clutch was insane!
So let's just go ahead, end this clutch
with another super Lori leopard, what do you guys say?
Let's do it.
(techno music)
And unfortunately, it didn't.
Another Lori leopard, but listen guys, that was crazy.
I was so nervous, again, when this clutch was laid,
I was really excited, and then I saw that note
saying that there was a banana male in
and then my heart dropped, I thought "Oh my gosh"
so for the last 57 days I've been thinking,
"Is there a chance that the Lori was not the father"
and we weren't gonna produce super Loris?
And here we are, 57 days later, three super Loris,
we didn't hit any normal super Loris,
which is completely fine,
'cause I'd rather have the super Lori leopard,
but wow guys, that again, exceeded my expectations
by a million times, that was absolutely awesome.
All right guys, I have something exciting to tell you,

- Today, let's just put it this way,
I'm gonna start pushing a few more boundaries.
I'm gonna start getting a little closer,
getting a little bit more riskier
as far as what we're doing.
But I still don't wanna cross a line, necessarily,
I just wanna see how far I can push things
and see what exactly the reaction I'm gonna get
when I push those things to that level.
So this is gonna be all about me reading these things,
so you may not even really necessarily see
at all what's going on between me and him
as far as that interaction and that relationship goes,
but just understand I'm watching,
and I'm trying to interact with what he's doing.
So I'm just going with what he's feeding off, back to me.
So let's get started.
I'm gonna do Beetle Juice first
and then we'll come back another day and I'll show you
guys another one with Croc Monitor and so on,
and so forth, we'll do a couple of these guys.
(techno music)
♪ Being bad ♪
♪ You, you, by you ♪
♪ Being bad ♪
♪ By you, you, you, by you, you ♪
(techno music)
So that was a great interaction.
The only unfortunate part is that he did walk
all the way back up there and that's his little spot,
that's his little corner,
and I do not, I absolutely do not wanna go rushing
into that cage and cornering him,
and trying to catch him, and hold onto him.
So we're gonna be a little patient,
we're gonna walk away a little while,
give him a little bit more space,
see if that encourages him to actually come down,
and sort of like, go like,
hey did he leave food behind, what's going on?
Make his brain work a little bit.
Try to figure out like what's our scheme next.
And I've never really done it this way,
and I think maybe giving him a little bit
of that challenge, making his brain work a little more,
may actually force him into more of a reaction with us.
So let's see what happens,
I'll be back on over to see him in a minute.
- Been a while since I showed you guys Pinocchio
here at the Reptarium, and he's a little bit angry today
for some reason, I'm not exactly sure why.
He normally is really chill,
but today he kinda woke up on the wrong side of the cage,
if you know what I mean,
but he's absolutely beautiful.
We hope we can produce some more rhino rat snakes
here pretty soon, 'cause they're absolutely
wonderful animals, and just so cool.
I love this little dude, he's pretty amazing.
Always wanna continue sharing when the babies
hatch out of the eggs.
It's great cutting eggs obviously,
but you wanna see babies, right?
So this is actually that pastel that was bred
to the woma lesser pinstripe.
This of course is just a woma ball python here,
incomplete dominant animal,
and then we have a little lemon blast here,
which again is that pastel and the pinstripe mixed together.
We did hatch one little normal baby,
which is always a little bit weird.
This is like what the daddy is here,
it's a woma, it's a lesser, and it's a pinstripe,
and I've always liked those a tremendous amount.
Now interestingly enough,
this is actually a lemon blast woma ball python,
but it's one of the most unusual ones I've ever seen.
I've never seen one that looks like this before.
It is really cool, almost looks like it has bamboo in it,
or something like that.
Although there wasn't a bamboo male
that we knew of in there, so I don't think it's a bamboo,
but that one looks really, really cool,
and then of course this is the all gene animal here
that is absolutely gorgeous.
That is a pastel woma lesser pinstripe.
That thing is beautiful!
I mean I tell you what, that was a really treat for sure.
So as the year goes on we're definitely gonna be
just updating you guys as the babies crawl out,
lots and lots and lots of cool babies coming this year.
I'm not sure that I ever showed you Jigsaw,
our kinda weird boa constrictor,
that we have here over at the Reptarium.
It's just one of those animals that I started raising up
a couple years ago, and it was just really unusual,
the pattern, and it came from a friend of mine
that produced it, this isn't a hypo,
it's not a jungle, it's just some weird boa
that he produced, and he actually produced two of them,
so we're raising them up, they're both females,
and we figured we'd bring this one over,
we named him Jigsaw, he's just a cool little boa,
for people that wanna hold a boa,
but Cupcake might be a little bit too big for 'em,
this is a great option.
- All right guys, we're back, let's do this.
(techno music)
That was about, 'bout as ideal as I could
possibly get with him.
He came to me with no food motivation whatsoever.
He came down, and this is a bigger reason why
I made sure I pointed out to you guys
the fact that I came back later.
And that it shows that that wasn't the right time.
Just because the time isn't right then
that doesn't mean you can't wait 30, 45 minutes,
even an hour, I think we waited about an hour,
he was willing to be a little bit more interactive.
As you can see, he's even still,
he's still even like, hey.
Well don't you guys worry,
I am giving him a treat, I really love that he did that,
so I wanna go ahead and reinforce that,
I wanna positive reinforce it.
- I'm still kind of in shock guys that we hit
three super Lori leopards, I mean,
I was hoping for one, I mean, that is amazing!
Cannot wait til they crawl out of the eggs
and share it with you guys, unbelievable.
That was absolutely amazing,
as a matter of fact if you enjoyed this video,
here's a playlist of me cutting a ton of eggs,
you guys wanna see it, could you do me a really big favor?
