- This happens to be the species of snake
and the mutation of snake
that is the most popular snake on Instagram.
That's right, if you look at the most likes on Instagram,
it happens to be a pied mussurana ratsnake.
And this is an absolute beauty.
I got these guys last year and they are getting big.
Now this is just a normal pied here
and this is what a normal mussurana rat looks like.
Now, these guys can literally get like eight foot long
and all this beautiful red
typically, just turns to all black.
So it's a big black shiny snake.
Now these guys do have some venom.
They're a little bit of rear fang,
but they really don't bite.
And you don't have to worry about it,
I don't think anyone I've ever heard of
has been actually envenomated.
But interestingly enough, when you breed pie to pie,
you get what they call a super pie.
I mean, take a look at that.
That's like 90% pied ball python, right?
But in a mussurana ratsnake.
And again, you still see a little orange
and red in the head.
That's gonna typically turn jet black
and you're gonna have a black and white Oreo snake.
That is absolutely amazing.
Course, they call them panda pied and ball pythons.
So this is basically the panda mussurana rat snake.
And again, the super mussuranas are ridiculous
but the pieds are amazing and even the normals are.
I tell you what,
there are a lot of beautiful snakes out there.
And by the way, welcome to the vlog, Reptile Army.
I hope the start of your day is amazing.

(bright music)
So it's been so nice outside.
To be honest with you,
we've been able to take a lot of our animals out.
And Jay over here has been literally
walking Drogo every day, just like, around the block.
- Around the block.
- And what have people said?
- People stop.
And they're like, "Is that a sloth?"
"Is that a dog?" (host laughs)
- We're gonna go ahead and take advantage
of this beautiful weather
and actually give Drogo a bath outside.
And for those of you guys that don't know,
sloths do need baths.
I mean, they really do.
In the wild, they would go in the water.
I know some people are like,
you can't believe you're bathing in your bath.
Truth is, bathing in bath is actually good for him
to keep him from getting dry skin
and all those other things.
Regardless, let's go ahead,
get Drogo, and give him a bath outside.
He loves to enjoy the sun.
So this should be pretty fun.
He's like, "I know this apparatus.
Wait a second."
And again, I think he'll like it
so much better being outside
'cause it's just a little bit more natural
and stuff like that.
And it doesn't seem to be bothering him
whatsoever right now.
He's just kind of getting a little bit wet.
So getting that smell off of him
is good too 'cause we don't want him to be a smelly sloth.
So we don't want him to be a smelly smoth.
Smelly (all laugh)
- We don't want no smelly smoth.
- (laughs) A smelly smoth.
We don't want a smelly smoth.
I can't say it. That's the third time.
Holy cow.
- [Camera Man] Wait, that was for real?
- [Host] That was for real.
I swear to gosh.
Oh my gosh.
- [Jay] Hit it for me, bruh.
- Ha! Smelly small, smelly small,
smelly smoth.
Good job, Drogo.
(shuffling of shoes on the pavement)
- [Host] Oh geez.
- [Camera Man] What the hell is going on?
- [Host] Jay's terrified of bees.
Mike, what is this guy's problem?
- Oh, it's Jay.
- Have you been stung?
- [Host] Yes. - Exactly. And I haven't, see?
Show us something.
Can we get a cordless hose?
Do they make those?
- [Host] No.
I think that that's something you should work on.
Jay, if you can bake a cordless hose you would be-
- You know how many sloth people would buy that?
- And you can see how far Drogo has come with
the habituation and socialization.
The first couple of times we gave him baths,
he was trying to bite us and everything.
Now he's just, you know, he's definitely running around
but he's definitely very calm
which just shows how much work Jay has put into
really keeping him tamed.
And he's getting so habituated.
Yeah, I know, buddy.
What are you doing, sweetheart?
Okay. So Drogo is all cleaned and all dried up.
So let's go ahead, put them back in.
That was actually good.
Good job, Jay.
- Thanks. - He loves you.
- He does love me.
All right guys, we just finished giving Drogo a bath.
He's back home.
He's probably gonna go take a nap in his hammock.
He did great today.
- Clutch time.
And this is actually just a normal female.
That actually looks really good.
It's just a really pretty normal female
and it's bred to a relatively cool male,
which is the super enchi pinstripe.
So again, it's not gonna be like crazy animals
but everything is gonna be enchi
and some are gonna be pin enchis
and some are just gonna be normal enchis.
So in the end it's like I always tell you
every clutch that I purchase isn't gonna be
unbelievably crazy but every animal in this clutch,
because it's a super enchi will at least be an enchi,
which is awesome.
Let's go ahead and see how much mama has.
Okay. Mama, can I get these eggs from you?
It looks like a really pretty clutch too.
Really nice, beautiful clutch.
Not a big girl, but it looks like a bunch of eggs.
She's not really gonna give them up easy for me,
but here we go.
Ah, there we go.
Got this one little egg, did a little role
but I know exactly where it rolled
so I'll put that in there.
And then all the other eggs look
like they're pretty fresh too.
So they're coming off really easy.
Look, this one came off real quick.
Go ahead, put that in there.
And then, like I said, she probably laid
within the last hour or so.
You can just tell when you feel them.
When they're really soft
and they haven't really completely hardened up yet.
And it's good because there's some eggs on here.
I can peel them off really easy when you first catch them
because they're really pliable still. Right?
So we've got two, four, six, eight eggs.
Again, all of them are gonna be enchi.
There'll be enchi pins and stuff like that.
So nevertheless, really good entry-level animals
that are gonna be available at BHB here in another 57 days.
The other day, I actually took Perdita out.
And I showed you guys the iridescence in her black, right?
It was just amazing.
That's where you see that unbelievable blue
and rainbow color.
Well, sure enough, I wanted to bring Night Fury out
because basically the color that's in Perdita
is the exact same color that's in Night Fury.
But the difference is, is that he's all black.
And just look at that sheen that he's got going on.
Basically those are chromatophores that are just shining
in the light and different kind of hues
and refraction of the light causes that unbelievable
like oil slick looking.
So essentially these are both reticulated pythons, right?
She is actually a ghost striper, a hecho stripe that's bared
to a phantom, whereas he's a motley golden child
that has that unbelievable dark black on him.
I tell you what, you get these guys out in the sun
and they just glow.
I mean, they are absolutely stunning.
So I tell you what, absolutely amazing animals.
And I had to bring them out here because we were talking
about beautiful snakes earlier in the vlog
and it doesn't get much more beautiful than this.
You know what I need right now?
You know, I'm in the Klubert room.
You know it. Let's go ahead and roll it.
Egg time.
That's right.
We've got a beautiful Mexican black king snake right here.
Look at that Mama.
I tell you what, there is definitely not much
more stunning of a snake than a Mexican black king snake.
That jet glossy black animal.
Definitely, really unbelievably beautiful.
Let's go ahead and hope she has some good eggs.
Oh my gosh.
Those are a lot of eggs.
Let's take a look at this.
Wait a second guys.
You've got to see this right now.
That snake had these eggs.
Take a look at this.
How in the heck did those eggs fit in this little girl?
I promise you I didn't switch them out.
Mama, did you steal those eggs from somewhere else?
That is absolutely incredible.
She had two, four, six, seven, beautiful big eggs.
That's a lot for a snake that size.
Ooh, doggy.
This is a beautiful female that has
some great genetics behind it.
It's actually an albino corn snake, which isn't that crazy
but it's actually heifer scale and it's heifer ghosts
meaning anerythristic and hypomelanistic.
Looks like she's got a beautiful clutch of eggs here.
And again, moma's just a really, really pretty animal.
And again, the genetics are incredible behind it.
And I tell you what, the male I bred her to
is an absolute ripper.
Take a look at this guy here.
This is actually what they would call
a silver queen scaleless.
So again, he's got that heterozygous that's going
on with the scaleless, the hypo, the anerythristic.
So these babies could really come out beautiful
if I get it right.
So let's go ahead
and see how many eggs mama actually had in here.
She actually had two, four, six, eight, 10,
beautiful big eggs.
I mean, these babies are gonna be amazing.
Let's hope our odds hit,
we produce some of those beautiful.
Whether there's snow albino, anerythristic
or hypomelanistic, scaleless, course,
it's gonna be absolutely amazing.
Oh, I got a package here from Wayne Wright from Texas.
No idea what this is.
Do you know anything?
- Nope.
- I don't know what it is.
It's heavy though.
There's a note, you can have the note.
Lets see what it says?
My name is Wayne.
I've been watching your vlog on Facebook.
I've enjoyed them.
I'm the owner of Custom Plaques by Wayne.
That's cool.
And I thought you would enjoy this custom piece.
So that's awesome.
This is what they call sweet gum lumber.
- Is a piece of Texas sweet gum lumber.
- Texas sweet gum lumber.
Oh my God. Look at that Drogo?
That is dope man.
- That is cute.
- I love it too.
It's funny.
I was just telling Laurie there's this place
that we drive by that has like these huge slabs of lumber.
I just wanna go and get a big piece of lumber
because I think they're cool.
And this is exactly what I'm talking about.
That's awesome.
So thank you, Wayne.
Love it, man.
Jay, guess what?
Mike, you already seen this?
- I saw it, yeah.
- All right.
What do you think of that?
Someone sent us this.
- Oh my God. That's awesome.
- Isn't it cool.
- That's so awesome.
- I love the piece of wood too.
It's awesome.
- That's dope.
Where are we gonna put it though?
- Oh, I'm gonna hang it up over here.
- Nice. I love it.
- [Host] Cool. Right?
- Yeah.
- [Host] You're a proud Daddy.
- I am a proud Dad.
Look at me and my son.
- Got two toes.
Well actually the back should have three.
- Yes, Drogo's back feet have three toes.
If you didn't know that.
(laughs)
- More Python eggs and for you guys that
are counting at home, this is actually clutch number 45.
We have maybe 110 more collections to go
or something like that.
Let me know if you guys get bored of this
because I certainly don't get bored of pooling eggs.
And this is actually a beautiful mojave female.
That's wrapped around a beautiful clutch of eggs.
And she was bred to a pretty banging male
which is this pastel crystal, which is a special mojave.
So we could get some super mojaves.
We call them super specials.
We get pastel super specials, pastel super mojaves,
all kinds of different stuff like that.
Absolutely wonderful mom looks like she's got a lot of eggs.
So what do you say we go ahead and see what she's got?
And here we go.
Let's see what mama has.
We'll just kind of try to unwrap her.
She's coiled really well around these eggs.
She definitely doesn't want to give them up.
Ooh, what is going on?
She is really on these eggs tight.
Come on, mama.
It looks like a nice clutch of eggs too.
As far as like nice small eggs.
Does look like there might be a slug or two in here.
Not a hundred percent sure, but I'm just trying to
kind of unwrap mama to see what we actually have.
There she goes.
There you go, girl.
Good job, mom.
You did great.
And yeah, actually it just looks like one little slugger
but we have some nice small eggs
which is really nice for a clutch like this.
You can see.
Wow. I tell you what, interesting.
These almost look like twin eggs here
but maybe they are two separate eggs, but nevertheless
we got two, four, six, eight really nice eggs.
One slug, not bad.
Again, some really good stuff coming up.
Stay tuned, season is heating up for sure.
And this is the first clutch fathered
by that pastel crystal this year.
So it's always nice to get that first clutch down
and have the fertility really good,
knowing that the other three
or four females he bread probably will have fertile eggs.
Hope you guys enjoyed today's video.
If you did do me a favor, hit that playlist right over there
