- Today, I'm just back from a long trip.
And, Lori said that there is
a ton of baby snakes that hatched.
But she didn't wanna make it easy on me,
so she said she hid 'em all over the Reptarium.
I see one in the gift shop over here.
So let's go and see.
And it looks like this is actually a normal ball python
that was bred to a lori banana.
Right off the rip,
you see we have a couple normal ball pythons here.
No big deal.
But, what's interesting is it looks
like all three of the bananas are actually banana loris.
Now, that banana lori Makes that darker pattern,
almost like a banana cinni.
But these are actually banana lori ball pythons.
Once they shed, they're gonna be absolutely spectacular.
So, I know a ton of baby snakes hatched.
I have no idea how many there are.
So, let's just keep looking.
Taking a break from looking for pythons.
And, I'm actually gonna look
at some baby colubras that are hatching.
These guys are just coming out.
Look at that head right there, look at that head.
This is actually what they call
a tiger scaleless corn snake.
And, there's only one out.
So, this entire clutch is tiger scaleless corn
bred to tiger scaleless corn.
So, every one in this clutch is gonna be a tiger scaleless.
Absolutely ridiculous looking.
Baby snakes galore,
but the exciting thing today is Mike is back.
- [Brian and Noah] Yay.
- Mike, how's your voice?
Say something.
- It's fine, I don't know.
What do you want?
- Sounds weird, doesn't it?
I mean, you sound a lot more feminine
than you used to sound.
- You better not be in the auto tune going on.
(Mike and Brian laughing softly)
- That's wild.
- Well, Mike, it's great to have you back,
but I hate to have your first day back this,
but I have some really horrible news
I've gotta share with you.
- What is it?
- I'm gonna be honest with you,
I'm gonna tell you later on, but it's not good.
So, just go back to work, I'll get you later.
- Okay.
- Well, this is a pretty easy one to find right here.
Just sitting on the fish box.
Let's see, what do we have here?
This is a normal to a banana lori pinstripe.
So, again, another banana lori type of thing.
And it looks like we do have one banana lori right here,
which, again, it's just a two gene animal, banana, lori.
We have normals here.
We have, looks like a normal banana here.
Nothing too special there.
Pretty cool.
I mean, listen, bananas are still cool.
You gotta remember, when bananas were first produced,
they were like $63,000.
Now, they're relatively cheap, it's cool.
We got a normal pinstripe right here.
We've got a normal pinstripe here,
which of course we produced the very first ones.
And when they were first out, they were $25,000,
believe it or not.
Then we have a couple lori ball pythons here.
Look how different these two look,
this one's got a really cool stripe to it.
Whereas this one almost has
what they would call a black back to it.
And then all we have here is a banana pinstripe.
Doesn't look like it's a lori to me.
It's possible when it sheds out,
we'll get an opportunity to see.
But, hey, that's two clutches down.
I don't know how many I'm looking for.
Let's keep looking.
This clutch is just hatching out,
but it is really special to me.
And these are actually leucistic Texas rats
that are het for scaleless leucistic Texas rats.
And the reason it's so kind of special to me
is that when I was first starting out in reptiles,
I, look at this guy biting me.
When I was first starting out in reptiles,
scaleless Texas rats were one of the mutations
that were kind of one of the most sought after ones.
They were only about 300 bucks.
But you gotta remember, back then,
there weren't a lot of snakes that were $300.
So the first time I got a pair of leucistic rat snakes,
it was really kind of amazing.
So every time I produce 'em, no matter how many years it is,
I just still get that nostalgic feeling
of when I was young saving up for that $600 pair of snakes.
- Shoe head.
What?
- What's the bad news?
- Oh, you still haven't,
my dad still hasn't told you yet?
- No, dude, what's going on?
- Oh, it's really just sad.
It's honestly devastating.
The end of an era, that's all I have to say.
- What happened?
- But when legends died, you know, they really live forever.
So it's not that big of deal.
He hasn't told you yet?
- No. - Still hasn't told you?
- Yeah, I missed him.
- Cool.
(anticipatory orchestra music)
- What's the bad news?
- I (laughing).
Lori, you're not that crafty.
You could hide things a little bit better.
When I hide things on the boys,
I definitely do a much better job of it.
Let's see what we have here.
It's cool because I don't even know what's hatched.
Every clutch we find is like a mystery to me.
This is actually a firefly het ghost
bred to a champagne that is het for ghost.
So what we have here is what they call a mimosa,
which is a ghost or a hypo champagne,
possibly a hypo as well.
Then it looks like we've got just a normal champagne here,
possibly a fire.
Look at this one here.
This is actually the firefly here,
which is a ghost and a hypo,
which looks absolutely incredible.
Look at how much pattern this champagne has on it.
Wow, that thing is absolutely adorable.
We've got a little pastel ball python here.
We've got a fire ball python right here.
And then it looks like we have,
this is a pretty interesting animal here.
Trying to think what it is.
It definitely looks like a pastel champagne,
possibly a pastel Hypo champagne,
or what they call a pastel mimosa.
And it's actually even possibly a fire ball python.
Once these guys shed,
I'll have a lot more understanding of what it is.
I really like this one.
I love champagnes, but when you get the pattern
to it like that, woo doggy, that is absolutely beautiful.
Let's keep looking.
Oh, look what we have here.
What we have here is some T positive house snakes.
Look at how cool these guys are.
And these are little African house snakes.
Absolutely wonderful little snakes.
But these are actually what they've called
T positive albinos.
So they look a little bit more hypo-ish.
Absolutely beautiful.
Looks like we've got a couple more in the egg,
or wait, let's see if there's any more in here, hiding out.
Let's see.
But we do have a couple more eggs
that are due to hatch here.
So it looks like we have three out now
and maybe two more to hatch.
I'm telling you, baby season is amazing.
- Do you want McDonald's or no?
- No McDonald's, man. - Not you.
- I can't eat- - Mike.
- How am I supposed to eat McDonald's
when there's all this terrible news going around?
- It is such bad news.
- I know and you're gonna eat?
I mean- - I am.
- I feel sick to my stomach about the bad news.
Yes, dude.
- I mean, I did cry a little bit,
but I mean, at the end of the day,
I still have to. - I'm just more worried
about Mike than anything, he's just-
- Mike doesn't know yet?
- No.
- Oh, no.
- How would Mike know?
He doesn't even have a phone. - This is not good.
Does Mike really right now not know the bad news?
- No, no. - Okay.
- How would he, he doesn't have signal where he lives.
- What's going on?
- So you don't know the bad news?
- No, what bad news?
- There's not really, it's not really
nothing to worry about. - It's actually horrible.
- You just told me it's destrimental and that it's like-
- It is detrimental.
- That's what I said.
- You said destrimental.
- Destrimental.
- No, it's detrimental, there's no S.
It's not destrimental.
- Dentrimental, got it. - No.
- Am I getting fired or something?
- [Jay and Noah] Way worse than that?
- Oh, crap.
- All right, so those were the three easy ones.
I don't see anything in Kush's.
Hope she didn't hide any like on top of cages
or something like that.
See, you just gotta keep looking around.
Keep looking around.
Oh, we got one over.
We gotta come this way, guys, over here.
(mellow synth music)
Look at my armadillo.
I missed these, I missed these animals so much.
It's so good to be back.
As much as I love traveling
and seeing other people's animals,
I love seeing my own animal.
What do we have here in Perdita's cage, of course?
Oh, this is interesting.
This is a Mojave female bred to a banana Enchi bongo,
that's het for clown.
Oh my goodness.
Look at some of these animals here.
What we have right here is actually
a banana bongo ball python.
Wow, look at this right here.
That is actually a banana Enchi Mojave possible bongo,
which is just unbelievably stunning.
This looks like we have a banana Mojave,
which has beautiful blushing in it.
And again, here's another, definitely a banana Enchi Mojave.
This is the one that looks like it doesn't have bongo in it,
just the Enchi, banana and Mojave.
Wow, that thing is beautiful.
And then we have just a little Mojave here.
Looks like right here, we have Enchi Mojave.
This animal here, really pretty.
Look at this one too.
This is another Enchi Mojave here.
Wow, I love the way that combination
is hooking up, for sure.
Just another little Mojave here.
And then it looks like we have
just a couple banana ball pythons.
This one here is actually a banana Enchi ball python.
So, wow, that was a ripper of a clutch.
Let's keep looking, this is fun.
Next up, we actually have scaleless Texas rat snakes.
Woo doggy.
I'll tell you what, these things are gorgeous
and there's some pretty ones in here.
Once these guys shed and get a little bit of size to 'em,
the color starts coming through.
And look at this one right here.
Look at that little head right there.
That one hasn't quite hatched out yet.
So it's still coming out.
That's amazing.
Scaleless Texas rats are recessive mutations.
Absolutely wonderful snakes.
Lots of baby snakes, let's get back
to the python scavenger hunt.
Looking in all the enclosures,
just to see if there's anything going on.
I think that I might have gotten
the majority of this side here.
Definitely, I figure for sure
she'd put something in Snap and Pop, but she didn't.
Really, I'm just so excited.
I tell you what it is so great to be back.
Look at this, this is really cool.
Of course, we've got green tree python up in the corner,
but we got the fogger going in.
She got tricky, behind a tree.
We've got, let's see, a pinstripe to a dragonfly bamboo.
Oh my goodness gracious, these are beautiful.
First off, right off the rip, this is like a pastel.
But look at how clean that pastel look.
Gotta be a vanilla, I think.
So I think this is a vanilla.
I think that's a vanilla pastel.
And then look at this one right here.
Woo-hoo-hoo, that's a beauty.
That's actually definitely a pastel, it's a bamboo,
it's a pinstripe and it's a vanilla.
Wow, only two eggs in this clutch, but that's beautiful.
Think I might have everything on this side.
Well, let's check the party room really quick.
Just to see.
Just to make sure she didn't put anything in here.
Doesn't look like it.
I don't see anything.
Okay, let's check Drogo's cage real quick.
Hi, look at Drogo.
Hi, baby boy.
Looks like he's been spending a lot of time
'cause look at all the hair on the thing.
He usually stays up in this other thing,
but he seems to really be loving this.
Don't see any baby snakes in here though.
I love you, Drogo.
I'll come back and play with you in a minute, buddy.
He is so adorable.
Gonna give one quick look over in the gift shop
just to make sure there's nothing back here.
I don't see anything.
Let's see.
Oh wait, I got one over here, got one over here, guys.
Okay, so what do we have here?
We have actually normal ball python
bred to a banana super chocolate,
which means everything has to be chocolate in here.
So all these normals here, look at how gorgeous that is.
That's a chocolate ball python.
And we actually brought
the very first chocolate ball pythons in
way, way, long time ago.
So it was cool that we were able to work with them early on.
They're really beautiful.
And then, of course, the bananas,
these have to be banana chocolate,
because with the super,
means everything in the clutch is chocolate.
And then we have chocolates and banana chocolates.
But look at how cool these.
Trust me, once these hatch out,
banana chocolates, absolutely stunning, stunning.
Not just colubras and pythons hatching.
We actually have geckos hatching as well.
Look at how cute these guys are.
They literally just came out today.
Unbelievable.
Looks like we have a little tremper here
and a little normal kind of high tangerine there.
And as geckos are hatching, I need to do a gecko.
Hey, let me know in the comments
if you guys want me to do an entire gecko thing.
We've hatched out so many leopard geckos this year.
Let me know if you like that.
While you're you down there,
hit that like button more for me.
And, you know, subscribe, if you don't mind.
Let's see if there's any other babies.
Nope, no babies in here.
You can see all these leopard geckos
will be hatching soon.
See what we have here.
Oh yep, we've got some babies here.
Oh, look at all these cute little.
Oh, look at this.
Oh, it's so adorable.
A little baby with just its head peeking out.
Come on, little baby leopard gecko.
Unbelievable.
How freaking cool is that?
And then we have a bunch of, look at this one.
Wow, this one is gorgeous right here.
Look at the pattern or the lack of pattern
on that one right there.
Not exactly sure what the genetics are behind this,
'cause really, Jessica's the one
that keeps track of all this stuff.
We have a whole bunch of stuff.
Looks like we have some super snows right here too.
Actually looks like this one's a super snow white and yellow
and then a super snow possible white and yellow here.
So a lot of leopard geckos hatching too.
Again, if you guys wanna see an entire leopard gecko thing,
let me know in the comments.
- [Cameraman] What?
- What's the bad news?
- [Cameraman] No one's telling you yet?
- Nobody.
- [Cameraman] Dude, it's real bad.
You're gonna be real upset.
- What, I don't know what it is.
I'm upset I don't know.
Did you hear about the bad news?
- Yeah, I did.
- You know too? - Yeah.
(bottle thuds softly)
- Mr. Brian.
What's going on?
- [Jay] Oh, the bad news.
- What's the bad news?
- The bad news, well, listen,
it's something I can't really tell you.
I'm gonna have to show you.
Okay?
Let's go.
(air rumbles softly)
- What's going on?
(air rumbles softly)
- Hi, everybody.
- Ready, Mike?
Look in here, what's missing?
What's missing?
- [Cameraman] What's missing?
(anticipatory orchestra music)
- [Mike] Chocolate tacos.
- Dude, they discontinued chocolate tacos forever.
There's no more chocolate tacos in the entire world.
- Why'd you have to put that on me?
(Brian laughs wheezily)
- No.
I win.
(anticipatory orchestra music)
(Mike grunts with satisfaction)
- All right, let's check on the next side.
Right off the rip, it's pretty easy to find this one.
Of course, it's with Al my beautiful big old marine toad.
Look at this sucker, he is so cool.
Hey, buddy.
Again, it's always nice to come home
'cause it's like I get to see everything all over again.
Oh and weirdly enough, another banana lori clutch.
What we have here, it looks like a little pastel here.
Looks like a banana.
Looks like a couple more bananas.
So our odds aren't very good on this clutch.
But look at this one.
This is a perfect example of a banana lori.
got that big back saddle going all the way down.
This is actually a lori ball python here.
And then this is a lori ball python here.
And then just a couple normal ball pythons.
So again, lot of lori stuff hatching
while I was gone, gone, gone, gone.
Continuing on with the search.
Make sure nothing's in Bowser.
I wouldn't imagine she'd put it
in the actual actual enclosure.
Here, we got another one over here behind Bowser.
Let's see, this is, oh, this is actually interesting.
This is actually a normal to a mystery, right.
So we're trying to figure out what that mystery gene is.
So let's see what is in here.
Ooh, this is interesting, isn't it?
So this one's a pinstripe.
So, obviously, the mystery has pinstripe in it.
Let me see here.
This is really bizarre, guys.
Okay, right off the rip,
and this is gonna be interesting
'cause we've got a few other clutches like this.
This was 11 eggs.
Every single one of 'em, pinstripe.
Makes you wonder, is there a chance
that the mystery gene happens to have something to do
with a super pinstripe where everything
is straight off pinstripe.
The odds of producing 11 pinstripes
out of 11 eggs, almost impossible.
But look at this pinstripe right here.
This is definitely not a normal pinstripe.
There's something going on in it, for sure.
That looks really different.
This one here, really different.
Look at the head on that.
Nothing like a normal pinstripe.
So that's interesting.
Looks like another one here.
That looks really weird.
The head pattern is weird.
The body pattern is weird.
Definitely some interesting things going on here
in this clutch.
So this isn't as extreme as I was expecting,
but it definitely is showing me something.
That that mystery gene's got something going on,
potentially even a super pinstripe.
Did we just prove that there's a super pinstripe
with this mystery clutch?
I don't know.
This is actually a lemon blast here,
a pastel and a pinstripe.
Which means a mystery animal I bred had pastel.
And there's no doubt about that.
But you can see the pinstripe looks
very different than a normal lemon blast.
But then look at this one,
look at all of the graining.
See, this is what I'm talking about.
The mystery gene for some reason has all this graining
and all this speckling in it.
Very, very interesting.
Definitely didn't answer all my questions,
but it definitely brought some more.
It didn't answer all my questions,
but it did bring up some new questions that I have.
I'm gonna have to raise this whole clutch up
and everything we produced.
We're gonna eventually figure out
this mystery gene, gene, gene.
That clutch blew me away.
That was one that I literally wasn't even thinking about
would be hatching when I was gone.
I actually wanted to cut that clutch to be honest with you.
But nevertheless, that was wild.
It just, my mind is going crazy now with all this.
Still looking for some more eggs here that oh.
Oh, oh, looks like Snaz is ready to eat.
I'm gonna need some keys.
All right, let's go see.
Snazzy, I'm not feeding you, buddy, I'm not feeding you.
There you go.
What do we have?
Whoa, jeez, little Pete.
Came at me a little crazy.
It's okay, Snaz, I'm not feeding you.
You can see his eye, whoa.
Look at him, his eyes are dilated.
He is definitely going.
I think that the white of the box,
actually he's thinking that maybe
it's like a rabbit or something like that.
What do we have here?
We have actually a pinstripe to a pastave orange dream.
So right off the rip, we definitely can see
this animal here is actually a pastel orange dream.
So that's beautiful.
Looks like we've got a lemon blast.
Looks like we've got a pastel jigsaw,
possible orange dream there.
Then other than that, we just have a normal,
we have a pinstripe, we have a normal Mojave,
a normal lemon blast and another normal.
So only a couple orange dreams in this clutch, but not bad.
Guys, there's so many cool babies.
And I honestly don't even know how many clutches are hidden.
So we gotta just keep on looking.
(air whooshing loudly)
We had some coral snow corns that actually hatched out
and just shed out and they are beautiful.
These are those white snakes
that turn pink when they get bigger.
Wow, these things are ridiculous.
Then take a look at this.
This is actually an ultramel ghost tessera corn snake.
So we've got some really cool corn snakes hatching.
Then you guys might remember the Palmetto corns
that hatched out the day we left.
They've shed out, and look, absolutely incredible.
When you come back from seven, eight days gone,
you get to see all the animals again,
it's so darn exciting.
(air whooshing loudly)
So I hope I find 'em all.
I hope Lori counted how many clutches she hid.
If not, there might be some clutches
just hanging out here for a while.
Oh my gosh.
Lori, what are you thinking?
Look at it, there's alligators on top of the actual snakes.
Oh my goodness.
Okay, buddy, don't bite me.
No, no, no, no.
Get down, get down.
Get down, get down, get down, get down,
get down, get down, get, get down.
(Brian blows out air)
I'll tell you what, those alligators
are feisty little monkeys, there's no doubt.
Whoa, woo-hoo.
I'll tell you what, that was a close call on that one.
Good job, Lori.
Actually, I commend you on that.
I would've hit something in there too.
What do we have here?
We just have a normal bred to a silver streak bamboo woma.
It's interesting.
Ooh, look at how pretty that is right there.
I'm not even 100% sure, 'cause look at the head stamp on it.
That's a weird one,
because this is a normal bumblebee here, right.
So this is where a bumblebee would look like normally.
And then this one looks way cleaner.
So there's gotta be another gene going on here.
Then, of course, we have what looks like
a pewter woma right here.
So it's a black pastel, a pastel and a woma ball python.
Then this is a really interesting animal.
So I'm not sure exactly what's going on there.
We've got a little pastel,
got a lemon blast and we got a couple more pastel.
So got a couple really beautiful animals in here.
One that I don't even know what it is
because that thing is gorgeous.
I mean it potentially could just be
a really pretty bumblebee.
But having it that clean is hard.
And that's what happens when you start getting
into four and five gene animals.
Sometimes there's another gene in there,
like a vanilla or an Enchi or something like that,
that you don't identify.
And then when you start producing the babies,
you go, oh my gosh.
But nevertheless, beautiful babies.
Okay, here we go, continuing the hunt.
Gosh, I'll tell you what,
being gone just makes you appreciate your animal so much.
Hi, Bella.
How you doing, baby girl?
Oh, she is so amazing.
Ah, let's see here with the blue racer.
Dumeril's boa.
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
Lori.
She put it in with the Goliath birdeater.
I'm gonna just really gently open this.
(dramatic orchestra music)
This is an animal I don't wanna muck with.
There's no doubt about that.
Okay, don't move, don't move, don't move.
(dramatic orchestra music)
Ah, we got it out.
Woo-hoo.
That was actually pretty sketchy.
What do we have?
Oh, a lesser to a pastel hidden gene woma.
Oh, wow.
There's some good babies in here.
Remember the soul suckers
when you hit the hidden gene woma to the lesser?
Well, these are the soul suckers here.
This is a normal soul sucker here.
And then this is actually a pastel soul sucker.
Looks like we have another pastel soul sucker right here.
So we hit good.
We hit three soul suckers.
Two of which would be pastel.
Then we have just, again, a lesser here, we have a pastel,
looks like another low pastel here
and then a normal lesser here,
which, oh, this is actually a pastel lesser.
And then it looks like we've got
two pastel hidden gene womas right here.
And you can see that hidden gene woma,
how busy the pattern is.
And it's, again, allelic with lesser and also het russo
in order to produce some really beautiful soul sucker stuff.
That's amazing, let's keep searching.
Take a look at the little azures.
These are that electric blue color poison dart frog.
Absolutely love that.
Definitely no eggs in there there though.
Two headed turtles all doing good.
Oh my gosh.
Frosty over here starting to get some of his shed off,
which is good.
No eggs over here.
Gotta look at Butterscotch.
Phew, thank gosh she didn't put anything with Butterscotch.
I'm not liking that.
Gemma, Sunrise.
Better look around in here
just to make sure there's nothing over here.
Getting down to the end here.
(hand smacks softly)
Of course she's put, ah, but you know,
I bet you when she put it in there,
Lucy was probably sitting right over here.
Now Lucy's over in the corner.
So this shouldn't be hard at all.
She's not that fast of an animal.
Lori, I know you thought that you were smart,
but this time I think I outsmarted you,
or actually I should just say I got lucky.
Oh, this is cool.
This is actually a pastel bred to a banana Enchi lesser.
This is actually a pastel
through a banana lesser Enchi pastel bongo.
Wow, that's gonna be cool.
Okay, what you got?
Ooh, look at this.
Wow.
What in the world?
That's actually, that's a banana.
I don't know, it's got a cool pattern to it.
Not sure exactly.
I'm gonna have to wait until that one sheds up.
So we just got some pastels.
We got some other banana stuff,
but doesn't look like we had that many cool combinations.
Just some really cool normal pastels,
banana stuff like that.
This is really the animal that I'm in love with.
Wow.
I tell you what, there has been some amazing animals
that hatched out.
Speaking about, hope you guys enjoyed today's video.
If you did, there's a playlist
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 light 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.
