- Oh, my gosh!
Sunrise is getting big and you know Burmese pythons
are a absolute passion for me.
They're a huge part of things here at the Reptarium
from the educational standpoint.
Not only when we're open to the public
are people like, "Oh my God, sunrise is so amazing."
All our Burmese are.
But they're the puppy dogs, right?
They're giant snakes, but they are so absolutely docile
and Sunrise is certainly a crowd favorite.
By the way, welcome to the vlog.
I hope the start of your day is absolutely incredible.
The fact is Burmese pythons are great educational animals.
Of course, Jeffrey the Hypo Granite Burmese python here
has been absolutely wonderful whether he goes out
to zoo to use, whether people come here for tours
We're open to the public.
The thing you guys may not know
is that the Reptarium, the one big initiative
beyond 3.0, of course,
is the fact that we are expanding our educational side.
I mean, it is important for us to get out there
and really teach people
on a guerrilla marketing standpoint, right?
Person by person.
Burmese pythons are a great way to do it.
Right now, we of course have Sunrise.
And of course we have Jeffery.
Then of course we have this little monkey here, Marshmallow.
The Ivory Burmese Python.
That's absolutely gorgeous.
Of course, he's really cool.
Cause he's not quite that big yet.
And that... It's cool cause you can pull him out for kids.
The fact is that we are really pushing the educational side.
As the world kinda returns to normal, hopefully pretty soon.
We're gonna hope that we'll be able to do school events
and camps and libraries and all those things.
Of course, right now we have Jay the Edutainer
is our main educator.
We actually just brought on Aislin, another animal educator.
We wanna bring on maybe one or two
by the end of the summer.
So the fact is that these animals
are going to be going out a lot
and really only having three Burmese isn't enough.
Which brings me to my point.
We are about to get a box with another animal ambassador.
In this box here, hopefully will be the next animal
ambassador when it comes to Burmese pythons here.
It's a little guy right now,
but it will get as big as Sunrise
and even bigger eventually.
Let's go ahead, open this little monkey off.
We know its pretty cool to always get new stuff
but lately I've been getting a lot of new stuff
which is really cool.
Again, kind of gearing up.
Number one for the educational side,
gearing up number two for 3.0.
So these are all really amazing things.
This is my little new monkey here.
Again, I wanted all my Burmese to be different, right?
I don't want two albinos,
I want two granites but I don't want two whatever
I want them to all be different
so that they have very unique personalities...
Oh my gosh!
I don't know that I've ever actually seen one of these
in person.
I've seen tons of pictures
But wow!
This thing is unbelievable.
Of course, this is just a Hypo Bur.
Now you know, Jeffrey is a Hypo Granite Burmese Python.
This happens to be a Hypo without the Granite, right?
So the Hypo is an incomplete dominant.
If you breed these two together.
you get the Ivorys like Marshmallow.
But of course Jeffery is a recessive Granite on top of it.
So this is just the incomplete dominant.
I'll be honest with you.
This thing is so much nicer than I expected it to be.
I mean, look at that.
The pattern, the color.
Oh my goodness.
This is incredible.
And you know, little Burms like these
can sometimes be a little fiesty.
(indistinct) that's how I ended up getting Jeffrey, right?
My buddy sent it to me cause (indistinct)
and would just bite the heck out of him constantly.
But this little dude is doing good.
Now this is a female again, why a female?
Cause it's gonna get big.
Jeffrey and marshmallow are males
they're gonna stay a little bit smaller.
So this should be one day a giant, 17 or 18 foot snake
much like Sunrise will be eventually.
Again, I need some help guys. I need a name.
Hypo Granite Burmese, female.
What should I name this beauty again?
As it gets bigger this is gonna be a big part
of our educational outreach.
So wow.
That thing is absolutely a ripper.
- Last week we went, hang out with Savannah,
from Gator Land.
We went down to Chicago.
We did a ton of crazy stuff with Gators.
So now I'm feeling super ballsy.
Can I say that?
I'm gonna give my girl pepper here some love.
Oh man, I'mma try to feed her
this little mouse right here and see how it goes.
- Oh no!
- I got scared.
- Jay missed it.Jay.
- Okay.
Aaah!
Mike, you gotta be quick no hesitation.
- There you go.
Get it Jay come on!
Come on!
Okay guys so I'm gonna try again.
I'm gonna teach some of the stuff
that Savannah actually taught me.
Come on, get down there, ready?
- Jay!
- Dude!
What's wrong with this Gator?
Yeah.
Oh my Go...
Why doesn't pepper wanna eat?
- Because you're fucking driving her nuts.
- Pepper (makes beckoning sounds)
- All right salt got it, yay!
Salty, I made you have it.
That's why I work at the Reptarium not Gator Land.
- So I was told that cupcakes shed.
But I'll be honest with you, I don't see the shed
in here anywhere.
She looks like she's ready to eat though.
I can tell you that much.
I'm wondering if it's underneath her possibly.
There is the shed. All right.
Ooh. This looks like it's nice and rolled up.
Ooh this is gonna be a good one There we go.
Oh, perfect shed.
I mean, this looks really good.
I'm gonna go ahead and unroll this,
but you know, Jay the Edutainer is so obsessed
with trying to get me about who's shed and everything
What you say we go see if he can figure out
who's shed this is.
Jay.
Oh, this is too easy.
- Too easy? - Jay,
Who's this from?
This is too easy if you don't this
I'm not even gonna talk to you the rest of the day.
- The rest of the day?
Yeah. Look at how easy it is.
- You could see the pattern.
- You know what my favorite snakes are, right?
- Exactly. Yeah we know.
- This is cupcake.
It was just too easy.
I got to get it I... - It's easy
just coz I'm a professional.
- Yeah, no, it's just it's too easy.
I'm gonna keep trying
- Going through all the different animals.
Putting my breeding groups together.
I've got a few things that I am excited about
for this season that I wanted to show you guys.
First of all, we raised up a bunch of new scalous
Texas rats.
So we're gonna have a lot of these guys this year.
New colors, these guys are super nice.
Last year was a little of a slow year.
This year, we should produce some really good numbers
of some really beautiful specimens.
Much like this really red one here.
I've also got some that are more yellow
and stuff like that.
So I'm excited about those.
This one is an oldie that we finally got back into.
I've got these guys up to size, is our Gray Banded Kings.
So we've actually got a few pair of these
that are breeding this year.
Again, super excited.
We used to produce a lot of these back in the day.
It's been a while.
So definitely looking forward to these.
One that I'm going to have to make sure
to not let Brian see too many
cause he's gonna wanna keep them all, but we're not.
We'll be selling so don't worry.
So we've got a few new scalous corn snakes
that are up to size two.
This is a beautiful albino one.
This is a nice, beautiful female.
Can't wait to pair her up with some things.
See what we get.
These guys are really cool, much like the Texas Rats.
When you take the scales away
not only does it seem to intensify and change the color,
but the pattern as well.
So you got that.
Then you add the different color mutations.
These things are just super crazy.
It's always fun to see what you get
patching out of these clutches.
A fan favorite that I'm sure a lot of people are wondering
is where's Carol?
Well, here she is.
She's feisty and ready to go.
It is my goal that no males are lost this season to her.
I've got some bigger bulkier males
that I'm definitely going to try to breed to her.
Maybe size was the problem.
These other males maybe were too tiny.
So um...
Carol you behave.
I'm hoping for zero to no losses.
- I think that Nova might be ready to get fed.
What do you think?
You know, every day we have to feed bug feeders.
Mike's about to do that.
It's always fun to see these little monkeys like Nova eating
(upbeat music)
- My trachea almost folded.
- What are you guys doing?
- I almost got my trachea collapsed.
- No.
(makes choking noises)
Sorry, thought you were okay.
- Dude.
- Dude you almost let me die like that so many times.
By snakes way bigger than Sapphire.
- I know dude. But honestly that was worse than any choke
I've ever had. No, no, no.
- Here you go.
(indistinct)
Step two, (indistinct)
Step three, funeral.
(upbeat music)
- We're gonna be doing some Tobasco enrichment.
Oh wow.
Is he coming straight to us? - He is actually. I think so.
- (indistinct)
C'mon.
Oh my god. - You got him?
- Yeah, bro.
- What happened?
- It did not wanna be held.
- You don't even know what happened.
- That's the good stuff, Wow.
- I don't understand why he was trying to kill you...
- Run away so much.
- I don't know.
- I'm sorry guy. We gotta stroke him a little bit.
Maybe a couple head stro...
Look at...
He's closing his eyes.
- I mean the work that we have done with him actually.
- Yeah. All... - Has been tremendous .
- Since we've been handling Saracha we know...
Wait which one's which?
- That's Tobasco.
- Okay since we've been handling Tabasco,
Saracha actually, we think is wanting to come down more.
We're gonna go, try to give her a couple of strokes.
Although it might look a little hectic,
this is exactly how our training with Tabasco went also.
Tobasco at one point was exactly like...
Honestly, I'm just trying to calm down
because he's nails are like razors
And It does hurt, It does hurt.
But my uncle told me not to be a B word.
So I'm not gonna be.
Our lives are a lot different than a lot of you guys.
Obviously my parents own a reptile zoo
and you guys work at a reptile zoo.
And you know, these new...
Have you seen the new temperature guns,
that they use at the stores?
Right? It's very strange because
Since I'm a monitor I like handling the monitors.
I have to tell them that I don't cut.
I pull up my wrist thing.
I show him, I'm like, I don't cut.
It's just something
that you guys don't have to deal with.
So it's not all just sunshine and roses.
(upbeat music)
- So let's hope that little monkey
becomes a great animal ambassador.
Down below lemme know what you think It's name should be.
It's a girl, of course
and she's gonna be a big part of our future.
