- So far the odds have not been in our favor here.
Come on odds gods, I don't wanna end the year like this.
Come on give me something just ridiculous in this egg.
Please, please, please, please, please.
What do we have?
Oh my gosh.
(whooshing)
Hey, good morning everybody.
Welcome to the vlog.
And welcome to this sad lonely, one clutch incubator.
That's right we're on our last ball python clutch
of the year and then the incubator is empty for a few months
and I get to shut it down.
What do you say we just go ahead and cut this last clutch
and have an amazing time together?
This actually a firebee bred to a pastel,
so theoretically there could be super pastels,
pastels, fires, spiders, bumblebees,
all kinds of mix in that.
I will say, that there was a couple other males
thrown in at the last minute
because the last clutch often times is like,
"Oh my God, just produce the clutch."
Throw males in, so I don't really know
what we're going to get out of this clutch.
What do you say we jump into the first egg?
And there's a good chance that just within an egg or two
I'm going to have a pretty good feel
whether or not that was the father or not,
so let's go ahead and see what we have here.
Hmm, interesting, what do we have?
Looks like just a little pastel to me.
I wouldn't have expected that.
I thought there may be something else,
so just one pastel, a single gene animal for our first egg.
But there's eight eggs in this clutch,
so we got to get something cool eventually, right?
Let's go to egg two.
Here we go.
So far we haven't really learned anything from the first egg
but we'll see if we get something else from the second egg.
Okay. Right off the bat, I can definitely tell
that it's a spider, which tells me that that firebee
probably was the father and I'll be honest with you,
it looks like that's actually a firebee right there.
Which would actually be a pastel, a fire and a spider.
And you can really tell by how clean it looks.
It's definitely a bumblebee,
but it definitely looks like it's a fire as well.
There you go, we probably know at least
the father is the firebee and we know the female's a pastel,
so theoretically we should get some super stuff
or what they call killerbees or maybe killerbee fires
or something like that.
Let's keep moving on.
All right, come on, last clutch of the year.
You gotta give me some crazy cool odds, please.
I always love ending the year on something amazing.
Okay.
(laughs)
We're not really hitting amazing yet.
This is just a single gene fire.
So again, the firebee is a fire, pastel, spider
and this would be a single gene fire.
So far out of the three eggs,
we got a single gene pastel and a single gene fire.
But wait we have like five eggs to go,
so we're gonna get better.
Come on, give me something amazing.
Give me something amazing.
All right, what do we have here?
Oh, it looks pretty.
Oh, you know what, this is actually just a fire spider.
Okay, so it's a two gene animal.
It's a fire and it's a spider,
which is really a beautifully clean, amazing animal,
but so far the odds have not been in our favor here.
Come on, odds gods, I don't wanna end the year like this.
Let's keep going.
There we go, nice plump egg here.
See what we got inside here.
Okay, this one looks like just a firefly,
which is a fire pastel.
Again, only two genes.
It's just so weird that we're just not hitting the odds.
We only have four eggs to go.
We better get something amazing.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still happy with hatching anything.
And I'm excited and I'm a little bummed
that this is my last clutch.
But, let's go ahead and cut these last four egss.
Come on, give me like a killerbee fire
something crazy in this egg.
Oh my God, it's another fire spider ball python.
So another two gene animal.
This is kinda crazy, but that's all right.
It's all right, we still have a couple more eggs.
Come on, come on, come on.
This is actually pretty funny.
I think it's hilarious to be honest with ya.
What do we have in this egg here.
Okay, again this looks like probably another firefly.
Which is a pastel fire, looks like another one.
Listen, we only have two eggs left to go.
One egg is actually already pipped.
I think it looks like a pastel, to be honest,
but we're going to go ahead and cut into it.
So one real to reveal left.
Fingers crossed.
Come on, give me something just ridiculous in this egg.
Please, please, please, please, please.
What do we have?
Oh my gosh, it's another fire spider ball python.
So, so far we have not hit one animal
that has more than two genes.
I take that back, we did get the firebee
which has three genes.
So we had one with three genes, we a couple two genes,
and we had a couple one gene animals.
One egg to go.
This one already pipped out.
It didn't look like it was gonna be anything breath-taking,
so let's go ahead and see what's in this last egg.
And here we go, let's see what's in here.
And there you are.
Looks like actually a super pastel, probably.
It could be a firefly because fireflies and super pastels
look really similar but I have a feeling that that
is actually a super pastel.
You can really tell by the faded head and stuff like that.
We'll see what's going on.
So there it is, guys.
Razor blade gone for the year.
I don't need that anymore.
Last clutch cut.
I hope that you guys enjoyed it.
This by far was a kinda a culmination of the entire year.
I had some beautiful highs,
where we hit something crazy stuff.
And I had some big kinda let downs
where it was like kinda missed the odds a little bit.
But this clutch definitely didn't kill the odds
but that's all right, we still had an amazing year.
I hope that you guys enjoyed it.
We are now starting to breed snakes again.
So we're going to have eggs before you know it.
So that wraps up the incubator
and I'm out of here at BHB's incubator
for the next, I don't know, four or five months.
Whatever the case may be.
I hope that you enjoyed it.
Let's go ahead and head over to the Reptarium and BHB.
And shut down the incubator.
Just getting over to the Reptarium
and just you guys know,
every morning we come
and you never know what you're gonna expect.
Obviously, Casper started to shed over here.
There's Shat over here.
There's a couple of cages I saw
that has poop in the water, gotta figure it out.
The 100 flower rat snake shed all over the cage.
I mean, that's just part of what we do.
We come in in the morning.
Hey, Alabsucca, what are you doing?
You want to get fed, little one.
Oh my God.
Of course, Bella's over here.
And that's basically it.
You come in and assess what's going on.
You clean up what's needs to be done.
We feed all the things that need to get fed.
I do have a tour today before we open up.
It's a one hour tour so that should be really fun.
And then we open for tonight.
Should be absolutely amazing.
Oh my God, it's gonna be great.
So let's get to work.
The first thing we need to do is
work with Casper here.
You can see he shed all over his cage here,
but more importantly,
he's got some stuck shed on him too.
So we're gonna go ahead, get him in some lukewarm water,
get in a soak, that way we can clean his cage up.
And oh, look at this,
he messed up his water bowl pretty good.
So no worries.
I actually have that strainer I might be able to use
or I probably just use the shop vac on this one
but let's get him in soak and go ahead an clean his cage up.
(mellow beat music)
Casper's being a little cheeky monkey.
He actually broke his tree branch off in his cage.
We definitely, we will fix that in a second.
For now we're just getting him in the water.
(vacuum sucking)
(water running)
Casper looks absolutely incredible.
All the shed is off, he seemed to really love the water.
This is the first time we soaked him.
And quite honestly, when you're in a breeding situation
a lot of snakes don't get soaked
unless they absolutely have to,
so I'm not sure if this is the first time Casper's ever
had a soak like this so it's pretty awesome
and he seems to absolutely love it.
So let's go ahead and get Casper back in the cage
and let's get ready for this first tour of the day.
Having a great time with my family from Dayton, Ohio, right?
- Yep, Dayton, Ohio.
- [Brian] You guys meeting Bella?
Did she come down and say hi to you guys?
- Yeah.
- [Dad] This is so cool.
- [Brian] She is so neat, isn't she?
Getting to know Elvis a little bit?
- Yeah.
- [Brian] Hey, Elvis, what are you doing?
He's like, "I don't remember this box being here."
Hi, Elvis, how are you doing, sweetheart?
Isn't he awesome.
(laughing)
- Dinner and a massage.
- You missed it.
- Elvis' mouth's so big and it just gets away from the food.
- [Brian] He's not very coordinated today.
(laughing)
Kinda wrapping things up with Sunrise, of course.
Always gotta take out.
What do you guys think of her?
Did you have a favorite?
- My favorite lizard was probably Toothless.
- [Brian] All our cages look amazing.
- Spider.
- Spider? Oh, yeah that's right.
The whole family held Spider.
You said you didn't want to hold Spider.
You said you didn't want to-- - Nope.
- [Brian] But you guys did, so--
- I had to.
- You had to, that was awesome.
I'm proud of these guys.
Everyone of them held the Spider
and they did absolutely incredible.
All right guys, I hope you had fun.
It was awesome hanging out.
You guys are coming back tonight to hang with me, right?
- Yes. - Definitely.
- [Brian] Okay, you guys enjoy yourself, I'll see you soon.
- [Family] Thank you, bye.
- So the first tour was absolutely incredible.
Again, I've been so lucky to get such amazing people
that wanna come and visit.
It was such a good time.
Once again, the big snake was a big hit.
Regardless, we've got some things to get ready
before we open the Reptarium in about an hour.
Super excited to be adding
this animal ambassador to the zoo today.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
This, of course is a d'alberts python.
Just look at the sheen and beauty of that animal.
For now we're just going to put it
in this display right here.
We're definitely gonna add some branches
and stuff like that here pretty soon.
We'll see if it likes it back here, just see what happens,
but oh my gosh this snake is so gorgeous.
Years ago, we used to actually breed these guys.
I mean 15, 20 years ago.
So its really cool to finally have one
and look at how they climb.
That is something else.
We got the tortoises out.
- [Baby Girl] Where is he going?
- [Little Girl] He is so fast.
- [Man] A turtle on the loose. - [Little Girl] Yeah.
- Little Franklin over here.
- [Baby Girl] Momma, where he going?
- [Mom] I don't know where he's going.
- As always at the Reptarium, we have a lot of animals out.
Of course, Joker, the scaleless Texas rat snake.
You got the beautiful pastel python.
And we always have to have new stuff
so people that do want to keep coming have something.
Of course, I showed you guys earlier,
we have the d'alberts python out.
He looks absolutely amazing.
And you don't normally see these guys so docile.
That's what makes this thing so cool.
Look at how gorgeous that thing is though.
(uptempo music)
And there it is, another day
at the Reptarium and BHB in the books.
Tonight was absolutely fun.
We had a ton of really cool people.
We had an absolute blast.
It's such a cool time spending here at the Reptarium.
But for now, we're gonna go ahead and shut down the vlog
and get ready for another amazing day tomorrow.
I hope that you have an incredible day, evening.
Whenever you happen to be watching.
As always, your support means the world to me
