- [Eric] It's not bad trust me, It's Not Bad At All.
You're doing so amazing.
(laughs)
- That's nothing.
(intro music)
- Hey good morning everybody.
Welcome to the vlog.
It's gonna be an absolutely insane day, but equally awesome.
And I'm gonna take you guys on the entire journey.
Starting with the tour that we have with some folks
that flew all the way here from New York.
And they are here, this is actually Linus and Penelope.
And you guys are from where?
New York area?
- Brooklyn.
- Brooklyn, oh my gosh I love Brooklyn.
That's fantastic.
- So really big trip for us.
- Oh my gosh I'm so excited to show you guys.
You ready to have some fun?
We're having an absolute blast,
again I love this part of my new life.
Being able to share with awesome people like you.
Of course we have Daisy out right now and we just realized
that Daisy and Penelope are the same age!
They're both eight years old!
You guys are twins! - Twinsies.
(laughs)
- Just a little time with Perdida.
Did you say this was one of your favorites you think?
She is so nice isn't she?
- Yeah.
- Oh I love her to death, she's such a beautiful girl.
I think she loves you too.
- Yeah.
- Oh my god. (laughs)
Again you know I think the hardest part,
I'm going to be honest with you guys
when I'm vlogging like this.
Especially on tours and stuff is that
you know you're having such a good time
and you're kind of living in the moment.
Sometimes I forget that I do need to still
bring you guys along on the journey.
So every now and then I'm like
"Oh I haven't filmed for the last 45 minutes!",
so we were just having a really good time together
but I decided to take out Perdida for right now.
Hey, Penelope, did you have a good time?
Alright you come back and see me tonight right?
Okay - Okay
- You're good, I'll see you in a couple hours right?
- Okay
- Okay, bye.
I know a handful of people said they have been missing Rico.
Well, guess what, this isn't Rico but this is
Rico's girlfriend that's about ready to breed this year.
Rico's actually in shed.
I was gonna show him to you guys, he's doing really good
back here at BHB.
I'm not sure if he's gonna go back on display
at the reptarium or not because like I mentioned before,
some animals get over there and then just kinda stress out,
they don't like the big cages and the open glass,
and the people walking by, it just kinda stresses them out.
When they stress out like that, I just can't keep
them over there so Rico is back here.
We might give it another go in another couple months
or maybe we may even try a different Cribo, I don't know.
I do have dream of eventually getting an Indigo snake
but again, I've got to get permits
and all kinds of other stuff
but eventually some kind of other Drymarchon
which is what Cribos and Indigos are,
will be back at the zoo, at least I hope so,
but in the meantime this girl is gonna be
breeding in a couple months.
Do you wanna come out this weekend?
A bunch of people want to come see you.
And actually, it's pretty cool.
My friend Savannah from Gatorland is actually coming up
November 10th to the reptarium, so we are gonna announce
some of kind of a big deal.
We are definitely gonna have here the 10th on Saturday
at the reptarium, meeting you guys if you guys
are interested in Gatorland or you follow Savannah
definitely come on the 10th of November to see her.
And then that evening at 9 o' clock we will probably do
an after event where we sell some tickets for some
kind of special event with Savannah
from, say, 9:00 until midnight
or maybe one o'clock in the morning,
I'm not 100 percent sure. Anyways
if you like alligators, you'll love Savannah.
She is so passionate from Gatorland.
Next up we have another tour. That's right it's
a busy day for tourists. It's so much fun,
I love doing these.
And we're actually here with Liz.
You came all the way from Cincinnati
and it's your birthday.
- [Liz] It is.
- [Eric] Oh my Gosh, that's so exciting!
Well happy birthday, we're gonna have a good time alright?
She loves the attention. Isn't she crazy though?
- [Liz] Yeah.
- [Eric] Mr. Scaleless Joker out and of course
we've got here today, the beautiful anaconda out too.
- [Mother] He is having a great time. This is
awesome. We're in a great place.
- [Eric] Thank you so much.
(relaxing music plays)
And of course everyone has to have their Britney moment.
(laughs)
Okay so you said you're not a fan of bugs, right?
- [Liz] No.
- [Eric] Okay, so we're gonna try to take Zombie out
the rose-haired tarantula. If you're feeling
up to it, let's get it. If you're not we won't.
Super easy. - [Mother] We're gonna try.
- [Eric] No pressure. I think it'll go well though.
The big thing is don't drop it, whatever you do.
It's not bad, trust me. It's not bad at all.
You're doing so amazing. Way to go.
It's not bad right? - [Mother] Okay wow.
Who would've ever thought it? - [ Eric] You did good!
- [Mother] Really, I mean never in a million years
- [Liz] You would've never done this.
- [Mother] Scott Mancer would be so proud.
- [Eric] You ready? - [Liz] Yeah.
- [Eric] Okay you're alright, trust me.
I'm right here for you. I'll take it off at any point.
You're fine though. Trust me.
(gasps)
You're doing alright? - [Liz] Yeah.
- [Eric] You can look at it, it's fine. You okay?
- [Liz] I don't like this at all.
- [Eric] Okay, I'll take it off. I'll take it off.
You guys both did really good though, seriously.
I'm just proud of you guys for trying.
- [Mother] That's a big fear, always
been a big fear of mine.
- [Eric] And you guys did amazing, I mean
Zombie, you did it again. Another first.
Thank you guys for coming. Seriously
you guys are amazing and I'm going to see
you guys in a little bit, right?
- [Mother] Yeah, definitely. - [Eric] Alright great.
I'll see you guys in a minute. - [Mother] Thank you.
- [Eric] Thanks for coming guys, thank you so much.
Take a look at how big Crackle is getting.
He is doing really good over here at the reptarium.
We haven't really been taking him out,
Letting people handle him because he's
been a little bit unpredictable and what I mean
by that is sometimes he'll be crawling around
just like this, completely fine
and then just decide to take a chomp on your finger.
But we're continuing to work on him when
we're not open to get him a little bit more docile.
He's been doing really good. I actually think
that pretty soon, we'll be able to take him out
and handle him just like any of the other snakes.
But again, one of the things that we're really trying
to do here at the reptarium is not get people bit.
So far we've been pretty good.
We haven't gotten anyone bit yet and we want to
keep it that way so we gotta make a hundred percent
that the snakes are not gonna do something
Again, Crackle's making some pretty good strides
and he looks absolutely amazing.
We've wrapped up all the tours. We still have
a bunch of stuff to get ready before the reptarium
opens, but we have a costume party tonight.
That's right, the winner actually gets an entire month
admittance free at the reptarium.
So I need to head to the store and see if
I can find a costume. I have something in mind.
I don't know if I can find it and I have to pick
up something for Lorrie anyways, so let's hit the store.
(Relaxing music playing)
Alright so I got something for Lorrie.
I got a beard and a wig and I'll tell you when I
get back to the shop what that beard and wig is for.
Before I show you what that costume is about,
I'm actually giving a little tour of BHB to some of the
people that came in from Houston, New York, and Cincinnati
and then I will show you what I'm going to be for
this costume. I don't know if it's gonna be that cool
to be honest with you because they didn't have
the actual costume, but I'm gonna do the best I can.
Cookies and Cream.
- [Girl] Aw she's so tiny.
- [Eric] Yeah you're fine. Isn't she cute
or aren't they cute I should say?
- [Mother] Cookies and Cream. - [Girl] It's so small
- [Eric] Yeah that's Cookies and Cream
- [Girl] She looks so big.
- [Eric] So I do get request this quite a bit,
people are really curious what it feels like to get bit
and I'll be honest with you, it's not that I
want to just let people get bit per se,
but sometimes it does take the stigmatization away
because it's really not as big a deal
as you think it is.
So, you ready? - [Man] I'm ready.
- [Eric] Alright - [Girl] Oh Daddy you're
gonna get (laughs)
- [Man] That's nothing!
- [Eric] See it's no big deal right?
- [Man] It's nothing. - [Eric] I know, it's like see
- [Man] Little feisty monkey. You could actually
stick your finger in there, it really doesn't hurt.
- [Girl] It doesn't? - [Man] Not really.
- [Liz] I kind of want to do it.
- [Man] Go for it.
- [Girl] I want to do it!
- [Man] It's like - [Liz] Oh no, nope, nope.
- [Man] Try it babe. - [Eric] You'd be surprised.
- [Liz] Mom, stick your finger in there.
- [Eric] See? So there it is, your first snake bite.
You're welcome. - [Man] Thanks Brian.
(laughs)
- [Eric] This is actually one of the twins
Lucy's twins right here. They're doing really well
They're all eating really good, so it's
really cool to have all the babies.
I don't think that any of Lucy's babies
haven't eaten yet, which is really cool and
most of them are taking frozen frog, which is awesome.
But no doubt, the twins are still a lot smaller.
What do you think? - [Man] Amazing.
It's really amazing.
- [Eric] RJ is just beyond belief man.
This dude is awesome. You guys ready?
You think you're ready? - [Liz] Yeah.
- [Eric] Alright.
(relaxing music plays)
And that's it (laughs)
Good job! Is that the first snake you've fed?
You did so good! Look at him.
He's perfect. And now we can actually open the
reptarium. I do not have my costume on yet, so
I promise very shortly I will do the best I can do
Unfortunately such a busy day I really wasn't
able to execute my costume like I'd to, but I promise
I will in the next little bit so let's
go ahead and open up the door. Okay so here
you have it. That's right, I am Bob Ross
and Lorrie is a cat (laughs)
She's got a tail and everything.
This is gonna get really annoying.
Alright let's open up guys.
Pretty good costumes rolling through, look at these guys
Oh my gosh, this is awesome. Holy cow.
You can see my beard is already falling because
it's driving me crazy, we've got Pikachu over here.
It's awesome, I love Halloween. You guys are awesome.
Look at this, this is amazing. Holy cow.
That is so good, that's a good one.
- [Father] Her mom did the make-up, I can vouch for her.
- [Eric] You didn't do the make-up?
- [Father] No unfortunately. - [Eric] Come on, come on.
No, you look so good.
(laughs)
Alright so I kind of bailed on, I still have
the beard hanging, but I did bail on my afro.
But you have an amazing Latisa
And you said you made this? - [Girl] Uh huh.
- [Eric] Oh my gosh, what are these made out of?
- [Girl] They're made out of these little meshed tubes
and then we put green pipe cleaners inside
and then we cut out little tiny tongues
and put them on the ends. - [Eric] Oh my gosh
I love this. This is a good one.
This is gonna be hard to beat, that's awesome, good job.
Okay look at these guys here. I mean, what in the world?
Vibros? Oh my god, this guy is head to toe
and look at, oh my god. turn around let's see it
We've got some good entries, this is gonna be awesome.
You guys rock. You guys killed it man.
So costumes, It's pretty hot in here you can see
this guy has unzipped himself.
It's pretty hot, but you had some cool stuff.
What else did you have with you?
- [Girl] An iguana, a little prop iguana.
- [Eric] Exactly, and then you had a costume too.
- [Boy] Yeah it was a Halo one.
- [Eric] You guys are great and thank you. Love it.
Look who's here. Lorrie you liked that outfit.
- [Lorrie] I know, it's super cute.
- [Eric] Oh my God this is so cool, I love it.
Oh my God, I think I'm afraid.
(exclaims)
And this is what I love about the reptarium
literally you held your first snake today, first ever.
And now look at you. Holy Moley.
This is what it's all about guys, what an amazing night.
So literally you came in and was terrified
you wouldn't even touch a snake when you came in.
She slowly kinda touched some animals, held some
smaller snakes and now is holding Casper.
This is awesome isn't it?
- [Guy] This is awesome.
- [Eric] Oh my god you're doing so good.
As we're winding down, this was one of the fonder nights
we've had at the reptarium. Don't get me wrong
every night is amazing here, but we had
a ton of people out tonight. We had a bunch of
people get over their fear, we had people hold
their first snakes and then want to get a snake.
It was the typical night here, but the difference
was we had costumes on, we were having a good time.
The kids, everyone else. It was really a fun night.
This one has definitely been one for the books for sure.
And with that said, I think I'm going to go ahead
and end the Vlog guys and wish you guys an
absolutely amazing day, evening. Whenever you happen
to be watching. As you guys know, you mean
the world to me and I truly do love you guys so much.
I did want to mention that today was incredible
with the costume party, but this Wednesday on Halloween,
We are actually having a free event from 5 to 7 o' clock
for any kid that is dressed up. We're giving away
candy, costume or nothing, you can come in and hang out.
So if you're in the area and you want to come and
bring your kid and have some fun at the reptarium
for couple of hours, feel free to come here.
It doesn't cost you one dime and there's free candy.
We'll be dressed up, we'll have creepy crawly things
all over the place. It's going to be absolutely amazing
and with that said, I'm just going to go ahead and
shut it down for the night. Can you guys
do me a couple favors before we get out of here?
Can you smash that like button? Turn that post
notification on so you know when I upload a video.
Make a comment down below so I can read about you
beautiful people. Be kind to someone and
I promise I will see you guys tomorrow.
