- [Brian] Today, I'm in California and I'm meeting up
with a bunch of celebrities to introduce 'em to my reptiles,
starting off with David Dobrik and Jason Nash.
- Yo. - Hey.
So this guy's here, eh? - Oh, I didn't see him.
- [Brian] Hey.
- I'm getting the pepperoni with onion.
- [David] Jay, what's this one called?
It's a cool snake.
- There you go. - It is pretty cool.
- I better hold him so he's comfortable.
- What kind of snake is that?
- This is actually a bull snake.
- Say cheese.
Wow, he's beautiful.
Babe, you should try holding him.
I feel like you're kind of a low key snake person.
- Nah. - You wanna try?
- I'm okay. - Well here, hold the back.
- This is like old times, man. (everyone laughs)
- You're pretty brave, I have to say.
- She's not talking. (everyone laughs)
- And then we'll ramp it up a little bit.
- Whoa. - Oh!
- No, you're good. - No, I'm good.
- [Brian] It does.
- That's crazy. - Wow.
- Goes right in there. - That's crazy.
- He's got my leg.
- [David] That's what you're scared of?
- So obviously we're here with Jason Nash,
Joe and David Dobrik.
It's always good, it's like old times.
Vlogs go out of style.
I miss these guys so much.
It's great to meet up with them again.
- Oh god.
- He's by you right now. - David, please.
- Yo, take a look at that. - Oh, ho, ho, ho.
- His name is Pork Chop.
- Lizards are freaky.
That feels good.
Taylor, you should actually put him on.
(Jason laughs)
- Can you hold him closer to your face
so I can get a? - Yeah.
(everyone laughs) (camera snaps)
What the heck, bro?
Really cool.
- [Brian] Doesn't get much cooler than to introduce
my reptiles to Howie Mandel and Jon Lovitz.
These guys are legends.
Let's hope they love my animals.
- Ow, what the?
- Have you done this before? - Gimme this.
- Thanks, guys.
(relaxed electronic music)
- [Noah] Dude, look.
- We're gonna have a great time.
- That's from "Deal or No Deal."
- [Jay] That's what I'm saying.
- He's chilling with Dad. - Shh.
- Of course, it's pretty cool,
we're here with Howie Mandel with my snake here.
- Hi. - How do you like it?
- Oh, I like it.
I'm gonna do a TikTok.
Oh, oh, oh.
Get a shot.
Ho ho, ho ho.
Whoa ho.
Ho ho ho.
All righty.
- Cool.
- This is good, right? - This is perfect.
- Get a lot more views.
- You gonna stay like that the whole time?
- We will. - Just stand there.
- [Brian] Stand there, go, go now.
- Just always stand like that.
- We there?
(mid tempo electronic music)
- [Jay] Yeah, I noticed that.
- Jon, come on in.
Jon, sit down in your seat.
- No. - Jon, sit down.
- Sit down. - I'm coming over.
- No. - Jon.
- Jon, this snake hasn't bitten me once since last week.
- No, it chokes you to death.
- No, it won't. - No.
- Sit down. - No.
- Sit down. - No!
- Sit down! - No!
- Dad, did you not tell him?
- No, he didn't tell me.
He said we were gonna talk about Kanye and (beep).
- No. (laughs)
- I want something to eat.
You go sit next to it. - I will, you wanna sit here?
- Yeah, fine. - Sit here.
- All right. (Jackelyn laughs)
(mid tempo drumbeat)
A reticulated python, oh, that's even better.
- Jon, we gotta put the snake,
just the back end of the snake over you.
- I'd love to do it, I'm eating, no.
- You're not eating, there's no food.
- All right, I'm gonna go.
- [Joe] I will get you sushi afterwards.
I will take you for sushi. - I'm gonna go.
I'll see you later.
- Take the little lizard. - No.
- Come on.
- Howie. - Howie, are you okay?
- Howie, are you good? - How you doing?
- Yeah, why? - We were just wondering.
- We were just making sure. - You're trying to call me?
- Thanks for having us- - Yeah.
- On the podcast. - Oh, thanks for being on.
- I just have to ask you one question.
- Yeah? - Deal or no deal?
- Deal. - Okay.
- That was a good one.
- We're fine. - Jenny, are you getting this?
Jen?
- They actually have a hologram that's really cool.
Oh, look at this. - Ooh.
- That's so cool. - Holograms are great
'cause you don't have to be there with the people.
Whoa!
- So dope, man.
I need one of these.
- [Joe] Jay, you're not supposed to be in the hologram.
- Brian, can't thank you enough for doing my podcast.
You're the man. - I appreciate you.
We had a good time, seriously.
- We really did have a good time and Jon Lovitz
wanted me to tell you he had an amazing time too.
He just doesn't want to go near you right now.
- Yeah, he wasn't so much into it.
But you were great. - But I was into it.
I always love hanging with you and your friends.
- I appreciate it, link in the description.
You guys can check it out.
And being on Howie's podcast
is one of the main reasons I came out to LA,
to share my love of animals
with an entirely new audience that listens to Howie.
We couldn't come to California
and not have a little bit of outside fun.
So we went to Santa Monica Pier to check it out.
- Tester!
(Jay laughs)
It's like a claw, that's good.
And I just keep editing and editing.
- "I love you, Jenny."
- Look at all those chickens.
Ha ha.
- But hey, that's enough fun for the day,
back to work. (Brian's voice echoes)
And now we're at my buddy Mason Barns' place
and he's got his pretty awesome,
famous Bell's faced lace monitor here.
So docile, it's incredible. - Where you going, buddy?
- [Brian] Look at this guy.
- So I got him when he was just
a little bit smaller than this.
I was told he was about two years old when I got him.
So he's probably about two and 1/2 now.
- About two and 1/2 years old. - Yeah.
- Of course, I'll put a link in the description
to all of Mason's stuff, go show him some love.
- I got so lucky with him.
He is literally the tamest lace I've ever interacted with
and he came straight out of the shipping box like this.
- Really, just like that? - Yeah.
I cannot claim any of the socialization for this guy.
- He's got that crisp, beautiful Bell's face.
- He was a a Bell's to a Bell's pairing.
- Still an absolutely beautiful animal
but you can definitely see that the white
is a little bit more freckled out.
The melanin kind of comes through and stuff like that.
But still a really beautiful animal.
Of course Beetlejuice, the one we have,
is a Bell's to Bell's as well.
That's why he's kind of kept his colors so good too.
- Whew, her claws suck. (Brian laughs)
They're way worse than his.
- Oh, look at that. - He loves it, see?
- My goodness, he's shaking his booty.
- That's hilarious.
I tell you what, monitor lizards are next level awesome.
That's a super curious animal.
What's going on?
That is pretty freaking awesome.
The puzzle gene is cool.
It's a kind of pattern mutation obviously,
hence the name puzzle.
Recessive mutation, does a lot of really cool stuff.
Still a lot to do and then
that Ng gene mixed with it, really awesome.
Looks like that's gonna be a banger down the road for sure.
Then we have some Mandarins that are half a DG Ghost,
which is amazing because that Mandarin gene
and the Desert Ghost gene together is gonna be ridiculous.
That's good, look at that.
And this is the first clutch you've had?
- Yeah, first clutch ever.
- Really?
That's a pretty good first clutch.
- First clutch ever.
- [Mason] Have you seen the leopard puzzles?
- Yeah, leopard puzzles are great.
- This is a leopard het puzzle female.
So once she's of age,
I've got a confusion get puzzle female up there,
so I'm hoping that I can make a confusion puzzle male,
pair it to her down the road. - Do a leopard puzzle.
- Leopard confusion puzzle. - That's like three
crazy pattern mutations mixed into one.
That would be ridiculous.
That is so cool, of course that's-
- Ooh.
- Look at this, guys, this is cool.
This is actually an axanthic crested gecko,
which is a recessive mutation.
These guys are big bucks still.
Really super sought after, a newer mutation.
Really doing some amazing stuff with the crests.
This is really the first recessive mutation
that came out of crested geckos
and they've been being bred for a long, long time.
So it's pretty cool to see this.
So plans on breeding this one this year?
- Yeah, he's about 25 grams now.
Once he's of size, I'll pair him to a lily
and a couple other things and hopefully
get the lily axanthics in the future.
- Yeah. - But I also have
a cappuccino and a frappuccino up there.
I also have a cappuccino and a frappucino up there.
So my ultimate goal would be to work
axanthic into frappuccino and make axanthic fraps,
that would be really cool. - That's awesome.
Well let's go take a look at those.
- I'm not even entirely sure of all the markers
that cappuccinos are being flagged with now
but you can see the tail, it's super bright white
up here and it fades down here.
- [Brian] Yep.
- They've got a slightly red tint to their eye and then
over time, their pattern does some really cool stuff.
Cappuccino and lily white together,
you get the frap and this guy is really little right now.
- [Brian] Look at that,
so this is basically a lily white cappuccino.
- Yep. - They call it a frapuccino.
- Yeah, these guys over time are crazy.
They basically get pattern on their head
and down the center of their back and then
it'll keep the white pinning around the crest itself
and they just have a really whacked out pattern.
So I'm really excited to see
what this guy turns into when he's an adult.
- This is really a treat, guys.
You don't see these hardly ever.
This is kind of one of the rarest monitors in the world
and they're a different type of monitor
because they're an aquatic monitor.
Pretty amazing, I've only seen probably
two or three of these in person in my life.
So every time I get an opportunity
to see one, that's amazing.
This is what they call the Borneo
earless monitors and they are ridiculous, dude.
So you have a pair? - Yeah, here's the girl.
- Oh my gosh.
It is crazy, I mean if you could only feel how weird
it feels with these little bumps all over the place.
- Grab the boy. - Look at that, wow.
- He's a little bigger than she is.
- These are some of the rarest lizards you're gonna see.
I mean, they are unbelievably uncommon.
Up until probably maybe 10 or 12 years ago,
there were none of 'em in captivity.
With any luck, you hopefully can breed
these guys when they get a little bit bigger.
- I'm hoping, yeah. - Oh my gosh.
Look at that.
- He sketched me out the second I unboxed him
because the one thing that I did know
about 'em was they have a venom similar to a Heloderma.
- Yep, yep.
- I opened him up and this guy came out,
mouth open, flying out and he was not happy but, as he-
- [Brian] As he almost tries to bite you again.
- Yeah.
Yeah, they don't really like being handled all that much
but it's awesome to take 'em out and do a little
check and kinda see what they're up to.
- Gosh, they're beautiful, dude.
This is Abronia oaxacae sierra norte.
He's really chill.
These guys, the graminea,
they'll literally bite me and death roll me.
- Graminea will do that. - He is just the most chill
little alligator lizard.
- When you get into the Abronia,
I mean these things are all pretty rare.
They come in from very small areas in a cloud forest.
Sometimes an animal like this can be just on
one top of one mountain and that's all
there is found in the entire world.
If anything happens to that population
on top of the tip of that mountain,
basically the entire species will go away.
All the Abronia species are really, really rare.
Graminea, which are these guys here,
are a little bit more common
'cause they're being bred a lot in captivity.
But still, all the Abronia species are in some form
of endangered or threatened when it comes to the population.
So people that are working with them in captivity,
it's really cool to see success like this.
Take a look at these guys.
These are some of my favorite of the Uroplatus right here.
They're satanic Uroplatus, which are incredible.
Like you were talking about,
there's some sexual dimorphism between 'em.
- The females for the most part
will have a a perfect little leaf-tail.
No sort of cuts or blemishes on the sides
'cause that's what they're meant to mimic
and then the males will have a more jagged leaf-tail.
They'll have the the cuts
and it almost looks like it's rotting off.
That's just how their tail is
and then the males will also have like
a little white teardrop under their eyes.
- Absolutely crazy, isn't it?
I mean these are some of the coolest,
most wild-looking lizards in the world.
Blend in so much and of course,
these are the largest of the Uroplatus,
which are the fimbriatus.
That's a beauty right there.
Just look at how incredible these guys look.
Have you bred these guys yet?
- Not yet, I'm hoping to.
So the home they came from, they weren't necessarily
in an environment where it was suitable to breed.
They kind of take a little bit
to settle into their new habitat.
So I've set this up and I've kind of left 'em alone.
- Can you guys spot the lizard on this cork bark right now?
That's right.
This one is cool, this is amazing.
Mason, tell me a little bit about this.
- It's another species of Uroplatus.
It's Uroplatus pietschmanni, the cork bark leaf-tail.
As you can see with his name,
blend into cork bark perfectly.
That's kind of what they're meant to do.
They don't really have a strong bite,
they're not super fast,
so their primary method of defense
out in the wild is gonna be to camouflage themselves.
I would argue that they've got one
of the best ones of all the Uroplatus family.
Like I said earlier,
when they're attached to a piece of cork, you can't see em.
I mean, he's kind of moving around now but flatten out
their body and they got little fringes on the side.
They'll basically- - Just blend right in.
- They'll blend right in.
They're not super common in the pet trade.
So this is a male right now.
I should have a female for him early next year.
- Of course, they even have some
western hognose snakes, which are really cool.
This is actually what they would call a Yeti,
which is a snow anaconda.
It's an axanthic, it's an Albino
and then it's of course an incomplete dominant anaconda,
which is a pattern mutation.
Really cool animal.
This a real good treat here.
I didn't realize that Mason had
some Kimberley rock monitors.
Now, these guys used to be around tons
maybe 10, 15 years ago and then they all but disappeared.
So you couldn't find 'em forever
and now they're kind of starting
to come around on the market again.
Definitely an animal that I'd love to get,
a smaller species of monitor.
So they don't get really big
but they've got that really long neck, really cool animal.
Look at how cool that is.
As they get older, this red comes out really well in 'em.
So it's cool, I haven't seen these in a long time.
So it's awesome to get an opportunity to take a look.
Ooh, they're like little daggers.
Oh, those hurt, those hurt, woo.
Woo. (cartoonish skittering)
You guys may think that we're just in the middle
of the city which we are but believe it or not,
right behind me is an archeological site
called La Brea Tar Pits where there are dinosaurs
being excavated right now as we speak, let's go in.
Not that way, it's over here.
All right guys, this is over.
- [Noah] Dad!
- Noah.
Noah, give me your hand.
Noah.
- Where's dad?
- [Brian] Believe it or not, the bubbles
that you're seeing right now are actually tar
that are bubbling to the surface right underneath us.
Crazy to think that literally 50 feet
away from this are sky-rise buildings
and here we have this amazing site in the middle of LA
and you can really smell the tar coming up from this area.
- Dad, look at how gooey this is.
- [Brian] That is gooey.
- Oh my god. - No wonder.
- It's so strong. - No wonder
the dinosaurs died. - Taste it, just taste it.
- [Jay] No, no, no.
- [Brian] This is an actual archeological site
that that they're using right now
and you can see down here where that blue flag is,
that's actually the pelvis bone of a ground sloth
that could weigh up to 1,000 pounds
and that's the pelvis bone right there, that is insane.
- All right guys, everybody, welcome to The Reptarium.
My name's Jay, this is Brian.
Who all has been to The Reptarium before?
Say "Yeah." - Yeah.
- You guys ready to see some cool animals?
- Say "Yeah." - Yeah.
- Yeah. - How crazy is that?
Literally every pylon here has like tar coming up
and yet there's kids playing soccer in the background.
I mean, this is a must If you ever get to the LA area,
you gotta come visit this place.
Out of the three of us,
who do you think would survive in a tar pit?
Whoever can get this up first wins.
(all three grunting)
- I'm winning.
Mine's up.
Ha ha.
Yeah.
"Mastodon separated from the rest of their pre-po,"
Dad, what's that word?
- Proboscidean.
- "Family tree millions of year ago."
- So that's Proboscidean.
That must be the Proboscean. - Oh, Proboscean.
- Dad.
- You didn't win. - You have to twist his wrist.
- We got the match of the century,
Noah versus Jay as mastodons.
Push all the way the way down. - It doesn't go any further.
- [Brian] What is that?
- "Feeding on levels of shrubs
and low hanging tree branches."
- Wow, that thing's absolutely mammoth.
Sloths don't poop often.
Now this right here is actually
almost identical to what Drogo's poop looks like now.
This is a rabbit.
Right here is what the giant
ground sloth's poop looked like.
- That looks like mine. - Crazy.
Dad, come on.
Dad, we only have 19 seconds.
Pygmy mammoth, where'd that come from?
Okay.
Where did that come from?
Dad, oh my.
Dad, nothing's happening. - Grasslands, here.
- Columbian mammoth, right here?
Right here.
Okay, I think we did it. (mock sad trumpet tones)
Oh.
I think we only had one right.
- Man, these wolves are in a dire situation.
(mid tempo guitar music)
Look up if you can hear us.
- What's that? - Broken teeth
from a saber-toothed tiger.
Oh my goodness, they got ball pythons here?
- Yeah, these are Freedom Breeder racks.
- This is the size dog I want.
- Is that why Big Bear is called
Big Bear, 'cause there was big bears?
That's a big bear.
- That's it guys, California adventure over, we're out.
Hope you guys enjoyed today's video.

that you can watch all kinds of videos.
You can also hit that subscription button.
It would mean a lot to me.
Also hit that Like button while you're down there.
Have a wonderful day, Reptile Army.
Remember, be kind to someone
and I promise I'll see you in the next one.
- Isn't that fun, Jay? - Yeah, I actually like it.
