- Good morning everybody, and for all of you guys
that have been missing a cutting, guess what?
We have a banger clutch for you guys to cut.
It was actually a Lori Pinstripe
bred to a Lori ball python
so we could get Super Loris, Super Lori pins,
all kinds of stuff like that, six eggs,
let's jump into egg number one.
Here we go, come on, again,
we get all kinds of different combos,
but hopefully we'll get at least a couple Super Loris.
Right off the rip, nope,
we've just a Lori ball python right off the rip.
That's okay, we've got five eggs to go,
and the Super Lori pins really don't have
a lot of pattern to them
so although genetically, they're really cool,
I'm kinda hoping for normal Super Loris
to be totally honest with you,
but I'm not gonna complain no matter what we get.
Egg number two.
It's so good to be back to egg cutting guys,
it's been so long, it feels like it's been forever for me.
What do we have here?
Ah, just another Lori ball python.
So right now we're not hitting the odds very well
but again, it's about one in four odds
for a Super Lori, and about one in six odds
for a Super Lori pinstripe.
We still have four eggs to go, let's hope we get one.
Come on, I think this is gonna be
the Super Lori right here guys.
Right? Wish me luck, wish me luck, wish me luck.
Ugh, nope we've got a pinstripe.
It actually is a Lori pinstripe though.
And the changes are pretty good
that most of this clutch is gonna be Lori
because Loris to Loris basically,
now three out of four on average
are gonna be Lori ball python.
We still have three eggs left, no supers yet
so let's keep going.
Down in the comments, let me know what you guys think.
Am I gonna hit it in this clutch?
Am I gonna hit a Super Lori? A Super Lori pin?
Or am I gonna whiff all the way around?
I don't know yet, ugh, another Lori pinstripe ball python
right here, so that's all right.
Genetically, they're really cool animals, Loris up,
but I was really hoping for supers, we're down to two eggs.
This is going to start to get a little bit scary,
I'm not gonna lie to you guys,
so let's see what this one has to offer.
All right, here we go.
Here we go, come on, please super, no super!
Oh, another Lori ball python.
Just another Lori python,
we're down to one egg guys, one egg.
Let's at least, I was hoping for two supers,
let's just get one, please.
Because if I whiff on this, it's gonna be
a big bummer, there's no doubt about it.
So let's go ahead and check out.
Let's go, let's do it.
All right, Super Lori right here,
I can feel it, I know it's there.
I can tell it's gonna be a Super Lori,
100%, 100%, 100%.
And it's a Lori ball python.
Darn it!
I'll tell you, you win some, you lose some,
I take you guys on the good, the bad, the ugly.
This one wasn't very pretty, I'm not gonna lie to you.
But hey, that's all right, we're still gonna have
some beautiful Lori ball pythons
and no supers in this clutch, what can you do?
And good morning Reptile Army,
I hope the start of your day is absolutely incredible.
Do me a favor, you know the gig, the movement,
I need you to be my foot soldiers, reptilearmy.com.
Go ahead, check that out,
we've got some new stuff dropping soon.
I sure do appreciate your support.
This is a drumstick, and that's RJ over there.
It's been a while since we fed RJ, come on bud!
Whoa, whoa, hello now, come on, up here.
There you go buddy.
He is a such a great, I always keep saying
I cannot wait 'til he gets actually over
to the Reptarium.
I mean, just look at that.
I mean, I've had this alligator for a good 12 years or so.
Come on up here, up here, up here.
Up here, up here, there we go.
I'll tell you what, getting close to the fingers there.
But he's such a good boy, I mean, he is so good.
You want more? Come on, up, up, up, up.
Come up, up, up, up.
Up, up, up, up.
There you go buddy.
(chuckles) And this is a nice meal.
He loves, this is his favorite thing
is chicken drumsticks for some reason,
I'm not exactly sure why.
But he'll eat four or five, six of these
every single sitting for sure.
Come on RJ, come on, want more?
Come on, up, up, there you go.
There you go buddy, good boy,
you're such a good boy.
Good job buddy.
There you go buddy, I love you so much.
I'll tell you what, it is so cool,
I can't imagine life without RJ,
I've had him for so long.
But again, when he gets over to the Reptarium
on display, people are gonna love him,
the interactions with him.
I'm gonna allow people to do exactly like Gator Land
where you have stations
and you can throw food into this mouth.
You know, I'll be able to get in there,
maybe do some alligator shows, stuff like that.
So he's gonna be an absolute pleasure
when he gets over there.
But for now, he's doing good over here
and I know a lot of you guys have been wondering
how he's going, so there we are,
he is definitely awesome.
Spending a little time with my buddy Waffles here.
I'll tell you what, this thing is ridiculous.
I'm telling you what, I know I keep saying this,
I wish there was smell-o-vision
because this thing smells like sweet maple syrup.
It's crazy, even when you open the enclosure,
immediately it just like, wafts you with like,
almost like this syrup smell.
And so Waffles is absolutely incredible
and he is getting so amazing
when it comes to handling, and just being
a part of things, but holy cow,
are these claws just absolutely rippers.
I mean, the power of this animal,
and you know, Elvis obviously
is a big monitor lizard as well,
but there's a difference between the power of these claws.
When this guy hangs onto you,
it's like he's ripping right into your skin.
I mean, I love him to death
and he's absolutely amazing.
And he's getting better and better
about just kinda coming out and walking around.
When we first got him, to be totally honest with you,
he always just wanted to go back to his cage.
We'll see if he does it again right now.
But he's getting a lot better,
it looks like he's just gonna go back home.
He's like, "Dad, I've had enough."
But he's actually doing pretty good,
a lot of times we've let him out,
he'll wander around and go around and stuff like that,
he's getting more and more comfortable
but today, he's just like, "Dad, I've had enough.
I just want to go back and chill out" and stuff like that.
What an absolutely amazing, I mean,
just the size of his head,
the prehistoric look of that animal.
I mean, I've always wanted a big black throat
and I'm so glad that we have Waffles
'cause he's absolutely a ripper.
- We're here with Beetlejuice, Bruce and I
and we're about to do some feeding fun time all right?
We drop the tongs, we have hands,
God gave us 10 fingers for a reason,
hopefully we leave with them.
You want to unlock this thing and get it going?
We got about five rodents here,
we're gonna bring them out, feed them by hand,
drag them across the thing,
we're just gonna have some fun today.
Come on Beetlejuice.
Oh yeah, look at him go. (cartoonish squealing)
Whoa! (cartoonish sound effects)
That was crazy. - Yeah buddy, good job.
- Are you serious? - I told you.
- He leaped. - Dude, he'll come hopping
out this way, he'll come running down and stuff like that.
- That was awesome. - He'll go right for you.
- Beetlejuice. - Watch them fingers though,
he'll get you. - Beetlejuice.
(lively music)
(man laughing) - Yeah.
- That was crazy. - You're smarter
than you look. (chuckles)
- [Man] I'm gonna get whipped in the face, it's all right.
We have one last rodent, here we go.
He's gonna go off.
We're gonna give him some. - Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I had to pick him up
'cause he didn't want to go in on his own, come here.
- [Man] That's all right. - There you go, come here.
Come on. - Such a beautiful animal.
- [Bruce] Come on.
- [Man] All right Beetlejuice,
that was awesome fun. - Bro.
- That was amazing.
I still cannot believe that he jumped out like that.
He was like Superman, he was like whoo hoo!
We're gonna need an instant replay on that.
- Back at you guys with my friends
over at HelloFresh.
You guys know I love them,
been using them forever, listen.
I don't have the time to go to the store,
it's gonna take me 40, 50 minutes.
I don't have the time to think about recipes.
Listen, HelloFresh has so many chef curated recipes,
up to 50 per week,
and right now they actually have Taste of the Summer,
that's right, as things are heating up outdoors,
they want to get you away from the ovens.
With cool barbecued proteins,
sides, all kinds of different stuff
to kinda get you outside, you know what I mean?
But today, we're not gonna get outside,
'cause to be honest with you,
I'm gonna cook some crispy buffalo spiced chicken.
That's right, I absolutely love this
and again, you guys know I've been a HelloFresh fan
for a long, long time.
It's just easy because listen,
I'm no chef, but they make me look like a chef.
So I have all kinds of great, I mean,
we've got carrots in here,
I mean, what better than carrots?
This is gonna be really good.
You could choose from all kinds of different things, okay,
if you're into the healthy life like I'm trying to be
and I can try to choose the healthiest possible thing
that I possibly can,
oh, potatoes going everywhere.
That's okay, and like I mentioned,
no matter what I cook,
I've been doing this for a long time.
It always tastes absolutely amazing.
Sometimes I don't even tell Lori that is,
I say I come up with the recipe on my own,
you know what I mean?
But the truth is, I just love HelloFresh
because now only do they have amazing food,
but they also are good for the environment.
Every package is either made out of recyclable
or ready to recycle content.
Which just is huge for me
because you know, I like the environment,
you should like the environment.
So listen, eat healthy, eat good,
choose some cool stuff,
and if you want to get out of the kitchen this summer
and do this summer thing outside,
they now have that starting this August
which is cool.
But for now, let's just go ahead
and get into some cooking.

Mmm.

One of my favorites I've cooked so far.

But in the meantime, I'm just gonna go ahead
and eat, all right?
Mmm! Ugh!
- All right, we're gonna get our reaction of
watching the surveillance cam
of Beetlejuice flying out at Bruce's face.
(Bruce laughing)
- Literally at my face. - Yes.
You don't know what you're missing out on,
wait for this, dude, this is crazy.
- I heard you guys. - Yeah dude, I was amped up.
All right, here we go.
(guys laughing)
He comes flying out dude.
- He literally leaped like, three feet out.
(Bruce laughing) Oh my god.
- Remember a few days ago, we actually cut that
super Enchi Orange Dream bred to a Stinger Bee
Enchi Orange Dream?
Well, the babies hatched out
and it's crazy, the first thing that I noticed
was the fact that this happens from time to time.
We hatched a Fire ball python in here.
Meaning that either the male or the female
had Fire in it, and that was something
that I didn't know.
You know, 'cause again, those genes kinda mumble things up.
I have a feeling it was actually the male
that actually had the Fire.
So we did get one little Fire,
and of course, then we ended up
with a Fire Spider as well.
Which just is a Spider ball python
with a little bit more fading.
Then we ended up with a beautiful
super Orange Dream Enchi right here.
Absolutely incredible.
So again, it's Enchi
and then it's Super Orange Dream,
and that thing is a ripper.
And then, this is what I believe to be a Fire,
I'm not sure if it's a Fire,
but I think it's a Fire, but it's definitely
a Super Enchi, it's a Super Orange Dream,
a Spider, and I believe to be Fire too
just 'cause it's faded a little bit.
But holy moly, is that an absolute ripper right there.
I was so excited when we cut this clutch
so I'm so happy that they hatched out.
- We have some smelt fish here
for our Green Tree monitors
so we're gonna get this think unlocked and loaded,
you got my back? - Yeah.
- Make sure no monitors fly out man
'cause I'm telling you, these guys are quick.
They're lightning quick, right here.
Come on bud, you want some fish?
You want some fish bud?
Want some fish?
He's like get me away!
Get me away!
All right. - We're trying to get him
to eat off the tongs, 'cause we haven't gotten
him quite yet, or we haven't seen them
actually eat, we have to typically leave it in there
and they'll go back to it.
So we're trying to get them more habituated to us
and eating off the tongs
so we can obviously you know, show it off.
They're super cool monitors.
- Ooh, I felt something.
Oh, he's coming out, he's crawling out.
You want this? Right here.
You want this?
Take it big boy.
So we're just gonna plant some pieces
all around the cage, good enrichment
for the animals.
Here with our Argus monitors, Cheech and Chong.
We got some more fish, let's see
if we can try to get them to tong feed on camera.
They're a little camera shy,
they're a little tong shy,
so this is gonna be a little bit of a challenge.
Thanks Mike.
Hey guys, how's it going?
- He's not even, he's just like frozen in fear kinda.
- Oh! - Yes.
- Oh yes! Oh no, it got stuck to the tong.
He's still got a little nibble.
This is part of the training process,
I'm actually super happy.
He nibbled it, he took a nibble all right?
And that's huge leaps and bounds
because he used to be terrified
and now he's nibbling meat.
This is amazing, we're gonna put little pieces in there
just to make him happy.
- Part of working with animals,
you win some, you lose some.
Today was...
- It was a tie.
- Yeah, it was a tiebreaker. - It was a tie.
- So tomorrow we'll try, or the next day
we'll give him some more fish
and see how it goes.
- While we're feeding smelt off
to a bunch of things, I know that Chopsticks
will absolutely love it.
And it's always interesting to see
how they'll actually play with each other
in the sense that they both need to eat
or both want to eat, and it's really
and interesting kind of dance that they do.
So as you can see, I mean, they definitely
love the smelt, I mean they're just taking it.
The thing I find so interesting
is the fact they actually will fight
over the same piece of food,
or if I can given them two pieces at the same time,
they still seem to kinda fight like
hey, I want my brother's food or something like that.
They're just absolutely adorable,
I mean, just look at them go.
They love the smelt, that is absolutely incredible.
See if this hoggy wants one.
Yup, looks like he wants to take it.
There it is, look at that, how cute that is.
Here you go bud.
There we go.
That is absolutely awesome. (chuckles)
At least I got some success down here,
the garter snakes are a little bit too skirmish
but hoggies actually love tuna and salmon
and stuff like that.
So this is a good little treat for him.
So had some fun with smelt today,
I hope that you guys enjoyed
just kinda the you know, change up of things we feed,
again, lots of enrichment, lots of variety,
that's what you gotta do
to keep these guys healthy and happy.
- This time we're gonna try it with our boy Toothless.
Perfect, perfect, perfect.
Fish!
Bingo!
He's trying to come out for more, he's like
one mouthful is not enough.
Perfect, he sees the full plate.
Focus on your piece.
He's getting so big.
I mean, he's actually becoming a dragon now,
it's awesome.
- Yeah, he's getting like Elvis
growing like this. - Yes.
Let's go.
And is he good? - Oh yeah, got it, got it,
got it. - All right here we go.
Hey! - I don't want him hopping out
like Beetlejuice. - Yeah.
Awesome.
It never gets boring, feeding monitors,
that's for sure.
Toothless, he's growing up too fast.
- Obviously the boys fed all the smelt fish
off to a bunch of monitors today
with some success, some failure,
but hey, it's all a learning thing.
We're definitely getting there.
But my boy Elvis loves fish,
so I'm gonna go ahead and just give him
a little bit of enrichment.
I'm gonna set these fish right on the ground right here
and I'm gonna let hm find them
and just kinda pick them away,
I think he's gonna really enjoy, come on bud.
You can smell, come on.
Come on, right over here.
Right to it, such a smart boy.
And it's good enrichment, right?
'Cause normally, he's eating bigger meals
so this is just a little small meal
so he has to kinda really figure it out
and figure out what's going on.
Come Elvis, go ahead, I know you love fish.
Look at him thinking his way through,
he's thinking, there you go buddy.
(chuckles) Again, this isn't a big meal for Elvis at all,
this is more about mental enrichment
than it is about actual nutrition here.
But he's trying to just,
you gotta go down lower buddy, there you go buddy.
It's so weird, it's like,
he thinks the floor is a little bit higher
than it is, so he's getting weird.
You know, I'm so tempted to just like,
hand-feed him, but I'm just worried
that he'd bite my hand.
There you go, ah, there it is.
And again, when you switch things up, right,
like, we always feed him on tongs
or in a bowl or something like that,
you switch things up, that just makes them think more
and that's good for them, you know?
The more mental enrichment, the better for these guys,
and he's such a smart animal,
he needs plenty of it.
So this is absolutely perfect for him.
It's amazing how dainty he is about it,
he's just so dainty, it's awesome.
There it is, and there it is.
He got his little mental enrichment.
There you go buddy, good job, way to go.
Definitely awesome, I like buying the smelt,
this was actually a fun day.
Well there it is, I hope that you guys
enjoyed today's vlog, I sure do appreciate you tremendously.
Do me a favor, right over here,
can you hit a playlist?
Hit one or two videos, helps me out tremendously,
also, if you don't mind, hit that subscription button,

and I promise, I'll see you in the next one.
