- [Male] Look at these two together, oh my gosh!
Oh it's a beautiful clutch. - Oh wow.
- Look at that clutch!
Why don't you just get pepper spray
and spray it in your mouth?
(dramatic music)
- Hey, good morning everybody
and welcome to the vlog.
Let's jump into it with this little,
beautiful glippart there and hopefully some eggs.
Yes!
Look at this.
I absolutely adore these snakes right here.
And this is a beautiful clutch.
How am I gonna get momma off
without rolling these eggs all over the place?
I'm gonna try to take these out
to where she doesn't roll them on me.
Come on, mama.
You gotta let me get these eggs.
There we go.
There you go.
(laughs) Good job, mama.
Of course, these are greenish rat snakes, right here.
These guys are native to Florida
and I've always loved these guys.
And these are actually hefra albinos right here
and look at how beautiful that animal is, right there.
I just think it's incredible.
And they really vary a lot.
I mean, this is also a greenish rat
that has that little bit more of that striping down it
and that is the dad of this clutch right here.
And again, it looks like a very nice clutch.
In clutch, you kind of roll things around.
I'll go ahead and handle these
just to make sure that everything's okay but they certainly
look like they're in pretty good shape too.
A few of them are stuck together.
A few of them are a little bit separate
and the ones that are kind of separate
are the ones that we're gonna go ahead and candle,
just to make sure.
But nevertheless, it's a good way to start the day.
Two, four, six, eight, (laughs) nine eggs.
I love it.
We have a few colubrid clutches.
We are going to be pulling a few ball python clutches
and who knows what else today.
Let's have an amazing day together.
Next up is actually a head black motley scaleless
bred to an amory head motley scaleless.
Oh, this is one of those old females that I talked about,
this old group and how the fertility is usually garbage
and sure enough, this clutch isn't very good.
That's okay, mom.
You look really good.
Again, I always check the mamas just to make sure
that they're in good shape, no stuck eggs.
And again, we're on a pretty good run right now.
I don't want to jinx myself,
but we haven't had too much egg pining.
I think we only had those two females both pass,
which is really good,
and then of course, what happened with Lucy and she passed.
So this year, we don't have any that are stuck,
which is really, really, good.
Regardless, it looks like a (laughs) terrible clutch.
We got one, two, three, good eggs.
Three bad eggs.
That's just the way it goes.
One more colubrid clutch to pull.
Last clutch, and I'm actually pretty excited
about this one.
This is actually a het plasma scaleless corn snake
and the plasma is a lavender-diffused
or a lavender blood right type corn
and it's actually bred to a type of het plasma scaleless.
So there's some potential for some plasma scaleless.
Mom, you did good.
That is a beautiful clutch of eggs.
There's not a ton of eggs in here but they look really good.
We'll go ahead and get the shed out,
get water in, as always, get mama back in, settled in.
She should get back onto food here
within the next week or so
and then we'll try the double clutch.
And our first double clutches are actually
due to lay here in the next week or so,
so as we're finishing up the first clutches,
second clutches (laughs) are already on their way,
which is pretty awesome.
Let's go ahead and take these eggs,
get them in an egg box and see what we have.
We have two, four, six, eight eggs.
No slugs.
Hey, I'll take that every day.
Again, this is a pretty exciting clutch.
I mean, the odds are kind of long
but hopefully, we'll have some plasma scaleless,
that would be amazing.
And that concludes the colubrids for the day,
but we definitely still have to collect
some ball python eggs.
Super exciting guys, we actually have our first
gargoyle gecko baby hatching.
Oh, doggy!
I love gargoyle geckos.
We've been raising up some really incredible ones
so we're gonna produce a bunch this year
but next year, wow!
We have some rippers that are coming up.
But this little baby should be out of the egg anytime.
Oh my god, that's amazing.
Let's go over to the reptarium.
I'll show you a couple of our holdbacks from last year
that are unbelievable.
We actually have a deadpool line and a dracula line
in here from Teekys Gecko.
I think he has some of the best gargoyle geckos out there.
There's a few other places that are amazing as well,
but I've gotten these from him
and I couldn't be more happier.
Take a look at this one right here.
This is actually the dracula line, right here.
Oh, doggy, (laughs) that thing is amazing.
And this one is fired down right now
so when it's fired up, it is so much better.
Oh, and right down here, take a look at this.
It's the same thing here.
This deadpool line is unbelievably beautiful
but the truth is, when it's fired up,
it's way nicer than even that.
But look at these two together.
Oh my gosh.
I think Teekys Geckos has some of the best geckos out there
when it comes to gargoyles
and a bunch of other stuff as well.
And I'm just really happy that we're able to have these
two animals represented over here at the reptarium.
And next year, these both will be breeders
so (laughs) oh doggy, those things are ridiculous.
Holy cow.
Jessica, what happened?
(laughs)
Oh my gosh.
- We have a little gecko explosion it looks like.
- Oh my gosh.
These things, literally just in the last 24 hours
all of these geckos started hatching.
We had a couple geckos hatch out before, I mean,
literally like four or something like that,
the whole year
and then all of a sudden, wham, and oh my gosh,
some of these look amazing, huh?
- [Jessica] Yeah, they all look really good.
- And this is just the start, I mean.
- Oh yeah, this is like the first big hatch day,
and it's not even a big hatch day, really. (laughs)
- Yeah, this is just a kind of mid-size hatch day
but it is game on.
For those of you that are interested in new geckos,
you're about to see a bunch of them.
Oh my gosh.
What do we have here?
- This one here looks really cool.
It looks like a little raptor.
This here is the sibling to that little raptor there.
This also looks like a raptor,
but it doesn't have patternless.
It's going to be a white and yellow, I believe as well.
- And there are a whole bunch of babies in this one
so I have a feeling, as soon as we open up,
it's going to be all over the place.
- Yeah, they're gonna go everywhere.
- [Male] Okay, here they are.
Look at that, a bunch of super snows.
- [Jessica] This one here--
- [Male] Wow, look at that!
Is that just a snow bold, is that what that is?
- [Jessica] Oh, this is gonna be a bold snow eclipse.
- [Male] Bold snow eclipse.
Wow, that thing is beautiful.
Next up here, what do we have?
- [Jessica] We have a couple of super snows there.
- [Male] Just normal super snows?
- I think so.
There might be one of them that's an eclipse,
'cause it's weird to get two super snows,
unless we did a super snow to super snow.
- [Male] Right, and then it's possible, right.
I love these ones,
with that really white pattern there.
So what do you think that one is?
- [Jessica] It's probably a hyposnow or something
but it's got a really nice, clean, pattern to it.
- And these are always one of my favorites,
the ones that are almost pure white when they're babies.
I don't know what's going on.
So what makes that like that?
- So this is probably a tremper albino super snow
but it could be a super raptor.
We'll have to wait and see on these ones
just to see if any more white continues to form.
- [Male] Gotcha, now could it be white and yellow too,
or no?
- It could be, yeah.
These ones it's just really hard to tell exactly
what they are when they're babies.
Gotta wait a couple of weeks
until the patterns starts coming in on them.
- The last little leopard geckos
that we're gonna show you today are these guys, here.
Oh my gosh, that thing is cool.
It's really dark.
- [Jessica] Yeah, this is from our dark one.
- [Male] Oh, that makes sense.
The dark one. - So it's probably
a max snow eclipse, but it's got that nice
melanistic look to it.
- And of course, that dark line
is something that we've been working on for a while
just to see what's going on in a lot of really cool babies,
including this one that hatched out.
Wow!
That's amazing.
And then, of course, all those right there
are coming out too.
Wow, there's some beautiful patterns for sure.
And again, this is just the beginning.
I mean, there are so many amazing geckos
that are gonna hatch.
So let me know in the comments
if you guys want to see the kind of hatch as they go
and we can continue to highlight like we just did,
but it's gonna be an amazing year.
(dramatic music)
My two big surinam toads that I got the other day
have settled in really well.
I think I'm gonna go ahead and see
if I can get them to eat.
So far, they haven't eaten.
Their names are Al and Peggy, by the way,
yes, from "Married with Children."
And let's see if these guys will eat.
(dramatic music)
Yep, they ate.
Unbelievable.
I'm so happy.
They were all eating crickets
so hopefully, they'll eat something bigger as they go on.
I'm just happy that they've settled into the reptarium now.
They are ridiculously cool.
Back in the dungeon,
which means bar ball python eggs.
I could get really used to this, I'll be honest with you,
and we're not even halfway through production yet
so we have a lot of eggs to go.
What do we have today, Kelsey?
- First off, is a cinnamon bred to an itchy pin banana.
- [Male] All right, oh, that's a big girl too.
Take a look at her.
Oh, doggy!
Let's see what she's got in there.
Okay mama.
Oh, that's a beautiful clutch too.
- [Kelsey] Oh, wow.
- [Male] Look at that clutch.
One little slugger.
Oh mom, what did you do?
You ruined that beautiful clutch with one little egg.
Holy moly, that's a huge clutch of eggs.
You got it?
Oh my gosh. - I think so.
- [Male] Oh, wow.
- (laughs) That does not fit.
- We're going to need a bigger box.
(laughs) We're going to need a bigger box.
Wow, I got to imagine that's gonna be our biggest
clutch of the year, you think?
- It looks like our biggest clutch of the year so far.
- Okay, and I'm not even going to count the slug.
Let's see how many eggs are in here.
- [Kelsey] One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12.
- 12, so that was the biggest clutch 'cause we had 11.
Last year we did have 13. - Yes.
- So theoretically, if we count this slug,
this is our biggest clutch of 13
but we don't count that so 12 really good eggs.
And of course, that itchy pin banana
means a lot of amazing things.
Itchy and cinnamon are great.
Banana and cinnamon are great.
Pin and banana are great.
And then you start putting them all together, oh my god.
This is gonna be a great clutch
and a lot of eggs to choose from too.
Laurie's over here with her favorite tortoise, Matilda.
What is that again?
It's a yam or something?
- Yeah, sweet potatoes.
- [Male] Sweet potatoes.
Is that the first time you've tried?
- Yes, I just read that that's something
that they might like so I figured I'd give it a try.
- [Male] I see here, she called it.
(dramatic music)
- I think she likes it.
(laughs)
- [Male] (laughs) She's going to eat the whole thing now.
- Yeah.
- Oh my gosh, she loves it.
That's awesome.
And she is such a cool animal.
Again, we're always trying to vary up that diet,
give her lots of variety,
things that are really good for her,
so we read that they love sweet potatoes
so Laurie tried and again, it's like I said,
Laurie loves that animal.
I mean, she just gets so much joy every day
coming and working with it.
It's really awesome to see her
have a connection with Matilda like that.
(dramatic music)
This next girl is actually another female
that I really, really, really, like.
She's actually a flame ball python.
Now, there's a few types of like the fire stuff.
There's the flame.
There's the fire.
There's the Lucifer and a few other things.
This particular one is what they call flame,
but I remember when we first got her,
I just thought she was a beautiful animal
and it looks like she's got a bunch of eggs.
A couple of them out, real quick,
so we'll take those out of there
just so she doesn't roll them around too much more.
Look at that clutch of eggs.
Whoo, whoop.
So we're going to definitely have to candle these eggs
'cause they're kind of all over the place
but another amazingly big clutch of eggs
from a female that's not that big, to be honest with you.
It was kind of reasonable that Sydney laid a lot
because she was a huge female.
This girl is probably only 1,600, 1,700 grams.
I mean, she's really not that big.
I mean, she's big enough, but she's not huge
so that is a really nice clutch of eggs.
How many do we have?
- [Kelsey] One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine.
♪ One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine ♪
(howling)
♪ Do ah ♪
- Nine eggs, I mean, that is not bad.
I remember when we used to average six eggs a clutch.
This year, seven to 10 eggs has been pretty average
and with some 11 and 12 egg clutches in the mix,
and very few clutches under seven eggs.
So really amazing.
Cannot wait.
Again, only a few weeks away
from the first eggs that we can cut.
It's gonna be an exciting year and again,
we only still have half the females yet to lay.
So, Kelsey, keep up the good work.
All right? - All right.
- [Male] We got something in
and remember the people that came to visit,
and they sent us the hot nuts that we tried?
- Yeah.
- They weren't that hot.
Well, they sent us a new package.
- Oh no.
- [Male] And they wanted Eric to be involved in this one
and Laurie, as well.
- No, my name is not on that.
- So I was literally just talking
about this stuff yesterday.
I was telling Eric about The Toe of Satan.
- [Male] Toe of Satan?
- Wasn't I just talking about this yesterday?
I said I was gonna buy one and then they send me it.
- [Male] What else did they send?
- It's the universal line.
Dude, we gotta talk about this for a second.
You guys don't understand how hot this stuff is, okay.
- There's no way I'm getting anywhere near that.
- Dude, yeah, no.
- This Toe of Satan.
- [Laurie] You are (laughs).
- Nine million Scoville units.
- [Laurie] What does that mean?
- And if I'm correct, I'm pretty sure
jalapeno, like the spice level on Scoville's,
is like maybe 30,000.
- [Male] Oh my gosh.
- [Laurie] How much is that?
- Nine million. - No, no, no, no, no.
- Yes, we're doing this over on Noah's channel.
- [Laurie] You can do it.
- We're doing it, all four of us are doing this one.
- [Laurie] No!
- We only have one of popsicle.
- I might lick it.
- [Male] That's okay, we'll all lick it.
- We'll share it.
- It's a popsicle. - It's a sucker.
It's not a popsicle. - Yeah.
- [Male] It's a sucker.
- Whatever. - Why would you do that?
Why wouldn't you just get pepper spray
and spray it in your mouth?
(laughter)
It's the same and probably cooler.
- Ew, dude, we got nasty little worms, man.
- [Male] Oh, these are just like--
- These are spicy worms?
- I don't know. - These are spicy I think.
- [Laurie] So it's original.
- Do you want to open this one real quick?
- I'll do every package of bugs
if I don't have to lick that.
- [Male] Nope, you have to.
- [Laurie] Larvete's, Mexican spice.
- [Male] Oh, there's barbecue and Mexican spice.
- [Laurie] Cheddar cheese (laughs).
- Oh!
- I want those. - That's a horrible
combination (laughs).
- I don't even want to hold this.
- (laughs) That's a horrible combination.
- Blogger cheese.
- Let's rip this thing open real quick, see what's in there.
- [Male] All right, let's see what's in here.
- I'm guessing it's more hot nuts.
- There's a side on it.
- Dude, this is the hot sauce they use in hot ones.
Got the bomb hot sauce.
- Ghost pepper nuts, those are gonna be good.
- This is gonna be a good video, guys.
Thank you for sending me this.
- Okay, let me know down in the comments
if you guys want Laurie and everyone to man up
and us do these 'cause we're gonna do them
over on Noah's channel.
Oh my gosh.
It's gonna be awesome. - I'm excited.
- Ben and Jerry (laughs) what are you doing?
I tell you what, guys, it's been a fun day.
I hope that you've enjoyed it.
I'm gonna go ahead and end the vlog here.
So many good things in the next few days going on.
I'm excited for the future in egg hatching
and oh my god, what an amazing year it's been.
I hope that you have a great day.
Thank you for everything.
I love you guys so much.
Do me a favor, be kind to someone today
and I promise, I'll see you guys tomorrow.
(dramatic music)
