- Today I'm gonna be switching places with Mike,
one of my crew.
- What?
- That's right. I'm gonna be doing Mike's job
and you're gonna need this.
- This is gonna be a piece of cake.
- It's gonna be fun. So basically Mike's got the hard job
doing what I do every single day.
So I got the easy part of the deal.
I think it's gonna be absolutely awesome.
(phone ringing)
- I thought it was gonna be Brian.
He needs to ship me the 2.3 Melanota.
- The Melanota?
Ah,
what exactly are those again?
- Okay.
Do you know anything about snakes and reptiles?
- A little bit. - Do you know what Boiga are?
- Ah, snakes.
I knew that.
- Okay.
Wait a minute.
I need the females gravid. Do you know what that means?
(crickets chirping)
- Maybe.
- Anything that says pranking or anything,
I want those.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
Bye, bye. - Bye.
- What everyone doesn't understand,
most of my career I didn't have any crew at all.
Laurie and I were the only cleaners.
So this is my happy spot.
Of course, this is Waffles the black throated monitor.
We always talk about why he's called Waffles.
Literally smell like syrup I mean, it's so weird.
I think I'm gonna take this glass out real quick.
If he comes out and hangs out with us, that's fine.
I think this is gonna be a pretty amazing day.
- Hey Mike,
Mike, Mike, Mike, I am out of heat packs.
I need some ASAP.
I can't ship without them.
- Where do I get them?
- What do you mean?
You're in charge. - You got their phone number?
- No, go ahead.
Whoever's in charge has it.
- Well the number
I need the number.
(phone ringing)
- Oh, someone's calling me right now hold on.
Oh, no, it was nothing.
- Over a thousand emails?
(phone ringing)
- Oh!
Hello.
(man voice grumbling on phone)
Can I call you back in like five minutes?
I'm gonna be here all day.
- Well it's my turn to lay on the ground
and feed my little box turtle here, Tyson.
He always just kind of lays down cuts a little piece off.
There he goes he got it.
Of course,
Tyson is an Albino Eastern Box Turtle.
There's only a few of these in the world,
but he is absolutely amazing.
And he loves his food.
Hey buddy.
He's the cutest thing in the world,
I tell ya I love this little guy.
Not as easy as I thought it was gonna be.
I always see Mike just laying down here
feeding this little guy,
it definitely takes patience.
Now I know why Mike lays down on the job
'cause it's a lot easier.
- All right Maria.
So I'm doing Brian's switching today,
so I know males go in with females.
Just go all willy nilly, throwing pay job with pay job.
- Nope.
Everything is labeled for you,
you have an entire collection to work with.
- Oh, ah.
Male, female, looking good.
- Mike, what are you doing?
These are two females.
- No, they're not.
- Yeah, they are.
They silly goose.
This one's the male.
- Okay.
All right, Brian.
Still going good?
- Well, things are going great here.
Don't forget, have you done any Insta stories today?
We do six to eight Insta stories a day.
- Six to eight?
- Every single day. So make sure you check my emails.
Oh and make sure you check in with Noah
'cause I think that we do two or three TikToks today too.
So you gotta film that as well all right?
- Tiktoks?
- Tiktoks yeah.
So emails,
text messages,
Insta stories,
Tiktoks.
I'll be here cleaning Preada.
Oh yeah, and if you don't mind,
put some brainstorming in tomorrow's YouTube video.
- Ah, okay, okay.
I got you.
- All right Mike, your the boss?
- Yeah.
- TikToks today, I don't know what you're doing right here,

Okay?
All right, rolling.
- This is Ben and Jerry,
my California two headed king snake.
- More energy dude stop stuttering.
Come on.
I don't have time for this, that's too much editing.
- This is Ben and Jerry,
my two headed California king snake.
- Outro, I need an outro Mike. - What should be the outro?
- Just say something.
- King snakes.
- Nice.
(upbeat music) - Do me a favor guys,

- Hey Jessica, how you doing?
- Hey, how are you?
- Just letting you know I'm taking over for Brian for today.
- Actually Brian was telling me
if I found a pair of traechirhinus,
you would buy it for me.
- Trache a what?
- Trachirhinus.
- Trache turkey, tracheotomy.
Cool.
How much are they?
- Oh, they're around $2,000.
- Don't know if I have the assets for that
but I can make something happen.
- It's always fun working with my girls Salt and Pepper
and I always make sure their enclosure looks really good.
Oh, and then there's this problem.
Look, look, look, not feeding you girl.
Oooh, doggy. You gotta be careful of her.
There's no doubt about that.
I would love to do nothing more than just work
with these animals all day like this
because this is the fun part of my job,
you know?
But it is so cool.
I love days like today.
If I can talk Mike into it,
I might have them stay on that part of my job
for the next while for sure.
And I'll just work with the animals every single day.
It's the best day of the week,
there's no doubt about it.
- What are you doing, dude?
- It's lunchtime.
- Bosses don't get lunch, dude.
When have you ever seen me take a lunch?
- When you're locked in the cages.
- Yeah, that's the only time. No, no, no.
You get back to work and by the way,
gimme that Lunchable.
Give it to me.
- But?
- Get back to work.
I'm eating lunch.
- Man!
- This is awesome, I like this job.
- Where's Brian?
- I think he's next door cleaning.
I'm taking in charge, we switched places today.
- Oh, really?
- Yeah. - First job,
can you go onto the Animal Con website,
I'm gonna need you to go through that,
make sure all the information's right
'cause that's gotta go live pretty soon.
- First thing I'll do is knock that off.
- Is everything in order and going on pace?
- So far so good.
You know, going through cleaning colubrids, spot cleaning,
pulling some sheds out, marking time cards, whatever.
- That, yeah.
That none of that sounded right.
- I get, don't worry.
I got all under control.
- This is not good.
- How's my grandbaby doing?
(both chuckles)
- He's doing really good.
He's getting really big.
All right.
Well this guy's got a full diaper
and I gotta go take care of that.
So I'm gonna let you go.
- Have fun with that.
- Oh yeah.
I got, we need some produce for the tortoises.
(upbeat music)
- Sup Bruce, how you doing today?
- What are you coming to me for?
- Well, I, I
- I, I, I to spit it out boy.
I actually do need some meat though.
Could you gimme a hand and go grab some meat?
- Where do I go?
- I don't know, Walmart.
You, you go, you eat don't you?
- Yeah chicken and fish.
- Well, by the way, Mike, but
I hear you're gonna go get meat.
So I need produce for the tortoises
and everything else too right?
- Oh, oh okay.
- Make sure we need produce and I guess Bruce needs to meat.
- Okay, meat, produce.
Taking Brian's truck.
(upbeat music)
Chicken breasts.
Yeah, this looks good.
(upbeat music)
Oh yeah, we got to get some green beans.
(upbeat music)
Some lettuce.
Grab two of those.
Squash,
one, two, three of those.
I've seen a commercial about this.
(upbeat music)
Oh yes, yes, yes!
(upbeat music)
Shouldn't of ran.
- Oh, hey! - Send it to my email.
I'll get to it later.
- Okay.
Thank you.
- Yep.
Oops.
Mm, so good.
All right, Brian, how you doing?
- Bro this is my favorite day of my life.
- Yeah, you know your phone is nice and all
but you know how many phone calls I've answered?
Like 50 in the last two hours.
- It never stop.
Don't mess it up.
Answer every call
and return every have you checked text messages yet?
- 45 text messages.
What?
- Mike, before you leave,
you have to switch all the male colubrids, okay.
- Downstairs.
- Yeah, just make sure the right males
are in with the right females.
That has to be done every single day.
- Oh okay.
- Cool, good luck.
Hey Mike, you there?
- Yeah. I'm here.
You still cleaning?
- Oh yeah.
I'm working on SNAs right now I'm having a time of my life.
I wanted to ask you. Did you get through all your emails?
- Like all 1000 of them?
- Well, I do every single email every single day.
- And no breaks?
- Owners don't take breaks.
Where are you at now?
- Yeah, you get back to cleaning SNAs
I'm gonna be down here switching males.
- Okay, don't mess those males up all right?
- Yeah. Okay.
- This is a cool snake right here.
Of course, this is a Moellendorffi,
hundred flower rat snake from China.
I love that snake so much. You can see just a little bit
of urates in here that we have to spot clean out.
Make sure it has fresh water.
Sometimes you actually have to scrub the actual rocks
and stuff like that because if they uranate
on 'em that's a little bit of a problem too.
Then down below here,
we have another really cool snake here.
This of course is our Mandarin rat snake.
Look at that. And you can see that these have some pretty
small water bowls in 'em right now.
That's what,
remember when we're making those larger water dishes
they're gonna go in here so it has more water
that way we don't have to fill it up all the time.
'Cause you can see this one's almost empty
so we have to fill that water up right there.
Wow, what a beautiful snake another Chinese snake.
Another Colubrid, just absolutely wonderful.
Hey, where are you going buddy?
So I just gotta get some water for it.
And then I'm all set on this enclosure.
- All right Brian, you can have your stupid phone back,
I'm sick today. Can I have my keys back?
We're switching back. I can't handle it no more.
- I don't know.
I kind of like it this way.
All right.
Have fun.
- You still got some emails to do. (ominous music)
- Hey, Beth,
would you happen to know why there's a $4,000 charge today
on my bank account?
- Is that from the geckos?
- What geckos did Mike order?
- Mike ordered a bunch of geckos.
- And he didn't ask me?
- He was in charge.
- Mike.
Where in the heck are my mangroves, my melanota?
These were all my female melanota that we're grabbing
that were gonna lay eggs any day.
Mike!
- Ah
- Where all my mangrove snakes sight.
Did you move them?
- Ah, sold them, traded them.
- To what?
- Kevin wanted them.
And he told me he sent me some stuff and I sent him those.
- First off, what did he send you?
- Some retakes.
And I asked him about the Camain I think,
I don't know if you sent it though.
- Dude, you can't, those are gravid melanoma.
- That's what he wanted.
You wanted the biggest meanest most gravid ones.
- But those are my animals.
You can't send, dude, you...
- He told me you were cool with it.
- He said I was cool with it,
but you didn't ask me.
- Well, you were over here cleaning and you know,
you get stuff without asking all of us.
So we just kind of, you know.
- I am terrified to see what he's done with my emails.
I get literally hundreds of emails a day.
So he's responding to some of 'em.
Oh no.
He sent stuff even to like my attorney.
Oh my gosh.
This guy is unbelievable.
And why is there, there's some subscriptions to OnlyFans?
Oh my gosh.
(ominous music)
Mike, what the heck were you doing on my emails, dude?
- I was answering emails.
- I know but...
- He only had a thousand of them.
- But what was the OnlyFan's subscription all about?
- It was, you're not gonna believe this.
It was an ice cream account with the wrappers off.
- Do, ah, I don't
I don't even, we spend one day Mike, one day.
Did you at least go over the Animal Con website?
Did you have any suggestions?
- Yeah, we gotta make it bigger.
- I mean,
you don't make your websites bigger.
- You gotta make like HD, like all the pictures,
everything HD you know, on a TV,
it gets rid of the little black lines at the top
and the bottom and the sides, zoomed in.
- I don't even know what to say, dude.
I tell you, I thought today was kind of a day off for me,
but it's actually causing me more work to go
behind Mike and figure out what he messed up.
He's switched all my male colubrids
and now I'm literally looking around
and I can't even find where the male colubrids are.
I mean, there's a bunch of 'em that are,
I mean, look just empty cages.
Have no idea.
I've gotta literally look through every single one
of these cages to even find where he'd switch them.
When I told him to switch,
I wanted him to switch to the right females.
I think he just put 'em all over the place.
There's probably corn snakes
in with milk snakes for all I know.
Good job, Mike. Well, I 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 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.
Yeah, hello?
