- Hey, good morning everybody and welcome to the blog.
That's right, we have an unboxing video for you guys today
but to be honest with you, some really cool ball pythons
from my buddy Forest sent some awesome stuff but I just
realized, there's suppose to be two boxes.
So I called FedEx and for some reason they delivered one and
one is still there, hold for pick up.
So I have to get on the road and go pick up the other
package before we can unbox it but before I do that I want
to feed a few things and then we'll go get
this thing and do an amazing unboxing.
Nova always loves his super worms and roaches for sure.
So can definitely give him a treat right now.
Nova, you ready buddy?
Come on, come one down, all the way down.
Come on, all the way, come on.
Ooh, you silly monkey you missed it!
There you go sweetheart -- oh my god, guts and everything.
I thought it was gross.
Here you go Nova, here's another one.
Oh my god, he doesn't take long to
go through these, that's for sure -- One more?
Here you go buddy.
Last roach and I'll give you a couple super worms too, okay?
There you go bud.
All right, the super worm?
There you go buddy.
There you go.
Bowser has his mouth open so we're gonna try and feed him.
Ooh, he took the tongs.
(giggles) I wasn't expecting that.
- What an idiot.
- Yeah reach in there and grab it, Erik.
- [Erik] You idiot, what? - [Woman] Grab it!
- Don't do this at home.
Brian I'm sorry, I won't sue you if I get my.
(water falling)
Oh my god that was scary -- I didn't like that.
- Hold onto them next time. (giggles)
(upbeat pop music)
So, daily feeding of the torti.
I think that is it -- Is that multiple
tortoise, torti? - I don't know,
I'll have to look that up, I'll pin it up there.
Tortoise, torti, I don't know but...
We got a mixture of stuff here as well as a bunch of greens.
Hey girl, you want to come, huh?
Want to come eat?
Well, maybe she'll go around her, probably not.
Hmm, what do I choose, what do I choose?
(upbeat pop music)
While we're out picking up these animals,
I'm gonna pick up that glass -- remember how we
broke the glass in the gator tank?
Well it happens to be that the glass place is
literally two minutes up the road.
Might as well go kill two birds with one stone
and pick that up on the way home.
- I was in your place with my grandson
- Oh yeah, did they like it?
- Oh he loved it, he held everything, and
what's the one he loved, Potato?
- [Brian] Oh yeah, Potato's great.
Reach out and I'll give you the private tour.
- [Store Clerk] Okay, I appreciate it!
- Alright you guys, I'm gonna feed some
stuff that you don't really get to see
that often today, so let's go.
(upbeat music)
She did bite me before. (laughs)
- [Brian] We are back and we have both of our boxes now.
So, I think we'll start with this one --
of course I have Laurie with me.
Typically Laurie orders the snakes and then
I get surprised, but this time it's the opposite.
- It is the opposite and I'm very concerned.
- Why are you concerned, this is going to be great.
So this is actually pretty cool, again Forest, my buddy --
you guys know Forest, he doesn't work with a lot of
ball pythons, and I think he's actually trying to
kind of get out of them to be totally honest with you
but he does prew some stuff and they're pretty cool,
so when he contacted me and said, "Hey, do you want to
buy the rest of my baby ball pythons?"
I was like, sure cause I know again, number one --
Quality is amazing, I know he's gonna have beautiful
animals and let's just go ahead and
jump right into what we have here.
First off, take a look at this.
Don't be just looking -- what do you think this is?
- "Don't be just looking" -- why am I here?
- What do you think that is? - It's a ball python.
- What kind of ball python -- that is beautiful!
- So, it's clearly an Orange Dream.
- She looked at another one, you cheated!
- [Laurie] Orange Dream spinner?
- [Brian] It's actually a Spider, it's an Enchi,
it's an Orange Dream, and it's a Fire too.
- [Laurie] Okay, you know what?
I was going to guess Fire so --
- So that is one gorgeous snake, so it's
a stinger bee is basically what it is.
Orange Dream, Fire, and this is
another one of those right now.
Gosh these things are so clean, and so absolutely beautiful.
Of course, we've got -- that one right there is crazy.
- [Laurie] I'm really excited about these
- [Brian] I was excited about these guys, of course
this is a Pastel Highway ball python.
Again, allelic with Yellow-Belly,
unbelievably gorgeous animals.
There are some beautiful animals in here, now there -- Stop,
I'm taking the lead on this. - Then why am I here?
- Because you're supposed to be guessing what they are-
Okay here -- put - You're not the boss of me
Just, you just hold -- stop talking.
- I'm gonna learn to stab you. (laughing)
- I'm kidding, look at that -- that is ridiculous isn't it?
- [Laurie] Okay, so I'm not gonna lie, I prefer that
other one to this. - [Brian] You do?
I do, I like more color. - [Brian] Oh man, I'll tell
you, I love that -- I guess it's just the contrast,
that purple contrast of course this is the Super
Pastel Highway, so it's just like the Pastel
Highway, just with one more Super gene in it.
Wow, I mean -- look at this animal right here.
Oh my gosh, wow. - [Laurie] Wow!
- [Brian] That is crazy. (Laurie laughs)
- So we typically get a lot of the more common
stuff when, you know when we're ordering stuff
like the Bananas, maybe pys, Albinos --
This is a bunch of just crazy cool stuff.
This is a Banana Leopard Enchi, and that's a female
by the way too, which is pretty cool.
And actually, another one of the same thing, and
this one, definitely you can see a little bit more
of that leopard stuff in that too, you know?
So, those are really beautiful, and
females too so that's really cool.
Of course, the Bananas are kind of like a sex link,
so there's a lot of male producers, and some like that.
I bunch of Orange Dream stuff, which is cool, you know?
Orange Dream stuff is really cool, that we haven't worked
with nearly enough of the Orange Dream stuff as I'd like
to so, this is just an Orange Dream Yellow-Belly.
And Orange Dream stuff is super popular, so I mean
that's cool to kind of have. - It is.
It does really nice things to the other genes, too.
- Yeah, let me put that over there.
Ooh, look at this one here, this
is actually -- wow that thing is gorgeous!
I like it when I order snakes.
I like this, this is exciting.
Don't -- you do a good job, don't get me wrong.
You do a good job but, this is actually an
Orange Dream Enchi Yellow-Belly.
I'll tell you what, there's some pretty
snakes in this bunch right here.
This is just a Stinger Bee Yellow-Belly -- which is just
a Spider, a Pinstripe, and a Yellow-
Belly mix, so that's beautiful too.
That does not have the Orange-Dream in it.
Here's another Pastel Highway, so again Laurie
likes the ones like this that have the more yellow in them.
- [Laurie] The ones with more color to them -- That
one with color I think is cool, as well as honestly,
the coolest part of these I think are the heads.
- [Brian] Yeah, they are beautiful, huh?
- And then the other ones that didn't have quite much.
- This is actually interesting, this is just a normal
Pastel Highway as well, but -- - [Laurie] It has a cool head.
Yeah, yeah, it's got crazy colors.
Really beautiful, absolutely incredible.
Let's see what else we got here, we've got Super Pastel --
Oh, these are Gravel, so again I was saying that it's an
allelic animal, the Highways are allelic
animals that are Gravel to Yellow-Belly.
So this is actually a Super Pastel Gravel.
So if you were to breed this with a Yellow-Belly,
you can produce a Pastel Highway.
- [Laurie] Gravel to Yellow-Belly is a highway?
- [Brian] Much like Specter to Yellow-Belly is
Super Stripe, or Spark to Yellow-Belly is Puma.
That's the gist there, let's see what else we got.
So this is a normal highway here without the pastel
gene in it, so you get the idea.
You've got the Pastel Highway, you've got the Super Pastel
Highway, and then this is the normal Highway.
So again, this is just a Gravel bred to a Yellow-Belly.
Now it's cool because it's allelic, you can do like
a Super Gravel and breed it to an Ivory, which is a
Super Yellow-Belly, and you'll get all Highways.
100% Highways, so that's pretty cool.
So we have a handful of Highways
here, another Pastel Gravel, some
Orange Dream stuff -- what's that?
- [Laurie] So here that's a Leopard Yellow-Belly.
- [Brian] A Leopard Yellow-Belly, okay.
This is an interesting animal here --
This is actually -- - [Laurie] Is it though?
- Well, I think it is. (Laurie laughs)
This is actually a Black Pastel Ivory,
so it's just a little darker --
- [Laurie] I always think it's curious when people take
like the patternless stuff and breed stuff into it,
because it's still a patternless snake, but it still
does have a little bit more color than a regular Ivory.
- And then this one is actually a Orange Dream Ivory
so you just see a little bit more orange coming through,
a little bit more color coming through, and again
just a cool thing, Orange Dream stuff is amazing,
really a good enhancer gene to
everything, brings lots of color.
What do you think that is?
It's an Ivory. - [Laurie] Clearly, yeah --
It has ivory in it, but again like
I said, when you breed stuff with ivory.
- I know, but you can see eyes on this one and everything
this is actually a -- - I'm gonna guess a Banana.
- [Brian] It's a Banana Ivory, exactly, you're so smart.
- I know, I saw the lid. - You saw the lid?
(Laurie laughs)
- Yeah, that figures that much.
But it's just a little subtle thing
there, some amazing stuff, let's see.
Again, now we got Orange Dream,
Yellow-Belly, again, another one.
The Orange Dream and the Yellow-Belly stuff
go together really well, I mean just look at the color
and pattern on that, that's really really beautiful.
Definitely gonna have to keep some Orange Dream stuff
out of this because they are gorgeous.
You know Mary's gonna be putting
keep on a bunch of this stuff.
You know what's going to happen is number one --
Mary's gonna have a bunch to keep, and you know
Erik and Mary are gonna wanna buy a bunch of this stuff too.
- I know, but it's all for sale.
- [Brian] Let's see, Black Pastel Yellow-Belly.
Okay, that's kind of cool, just a Black Pastel and
a Yellow-Belly, but look at that belly pattern right there.
Tell you, that thing is crazy cool.
Yeah, so let's see, anything else in this?
Okay, box one down, we'll look at box two.
- You're supposed to cut away --
Not towards people or yourself - I think that's good.
- How many issues have you had
if you haven't learned that yet?
(glass crashing noise)
- Whoa, whoa there's a couple nice animals in here!
What the heck, how interesting?
That looks really cool! - Didn't you just see that?
- I know but that looks different to me than the last one.
This is again, it's just another Super Pastel Highway,
but I don't know, this one looked like I almost
thought it had like Leopard in it or something
like that because look at that crazy pattern.
But anyways, that caught my eye, I thought
that was pretty amazing. - They all catch your eye.
- I know, again another Pastel -- Here, hold this one.
You guys let me know down in the comments, do
you like the Pastel Highway, or do you like the Super
Pastel Highway that I'm holding onto right now?
I mean all that purple is pretty awesome, I do agree.
I guess I like the kind of clean look of the Super Pastel
but I agree that the Pastel Highway would be amazing.
- [Laurie] High contrast gets me all the time too.
I like dark colors, I like the contrast.
But a lot of people like the other, so --
- Whoa, what the heck is this?
- Whoa, it's a white ball python!
- So this is actually a weird one cause this is actually
got a lot of genes in it, but it's got so many genes
that it kind of nulls it out, and that happens sometimes
with ball pythons, when you start getting too many genes
it kind of gets washed out. So this is actually
- [Laurie] So there's fire in it.
- [Brian] No, believe it or not, it's a Sterling Highway.
So it's a Super Pastel, Black Pastel,
Highway, or Cinnamon Pastel Highway.
So that's definitely, it basically produces a white snake.
Because the Super Pastel blows out the color, and then
you know, obviously the mixture and everything else.
- Well, it's kind of cool because you get, if you like
the white snake you get that, but when you breed it --
- [Brian] Yeah, plus you have a little bit
of the gray striping, a little bit of the gray
striping that the Highway has, but a lot of the pattern
is blown out, so that's actually an interesting animal.
- It's got the pretty dark eyes.
- Look at that, that one's -- Ooh, what the heck is that?!
Oh my gosh! - Speaking of white --
- So, what is this supposed to be?
- What do you think it is?
- [Brian] To me it looks like a Pastel Cinnamon Highway
or a Pastel -- Black Pastel Highway.
- [Laurie] It's a Pewter Highway.
- [Brian] Ah, there you go -- exactly.
So this is the exact same snake that was all white,
just without the Super Pastel.
So, I like this one way better.
- [Laurie] It has a little bit more personality.
- That is, ridiculous -- That may be my favorite snake out
of this whole -- what is that, female or male?
- It's a male.
- Male? Oh, we could use one of those.
We could use to raise that up!
- That's why I don't let him pick stuff.
- Okay, this is actually really beautiful too.
This got some beautiful snakes, so this is a --
This is a Bumblebee Calico, Orange Dream, Yellow-Belly.
What in the world, that is a beautiful snake right there.
Wow. - That is.
- [Brian] Another male, that'd be a -- that's a powerhouse
male that we're gonna keep. (Laurie laughs)
So basically none of these are going on the website,
we're just gonna raise all of these up.
- I'm sending all of these back.
- No. (Laurie laughs)
I tell you, Forest, you did good buddy.
You did really good, I mean these are some beautiful snakes.
I wouldn't expect anything different from Forest
because he really likes, you know, high-end, eclectic stuff,
and I really don't know that I've ever looked at his ball
python collection, weirdly enough because I get down there
and there's so much other cool stuff to look at, but man
he has some cool stuff, so it looks like then, other Pastel
Gravels and Gravels and Specials and stuff like that.
It looks like that's it for unboxing.
I mean what'd you think, did I do good?
I mean, I guess I really didn't choose because he
just sent me whatever he had but --
- Yeah, I think there's a lot of cool stuff,
and I got my work cut out for me.
- Laurie does have her work cut out, cause she's got to
photograph all these, get them all eating-
- Fight them away from him --
- Yeah, fight them away from me.
So there it is, let me know in the comments
which one your favorite snake is of the two
boxes that we unboxed, I'm excited
to look at these guys some more.
(upbeat pop music)
- Okay, so all I have to do is put the lock
on now, so we have glass again.
Alright, all locked up and safe again, it's bound
to happen again, but at least this one's fixed.
What an amazing shipment of snakes, it's always great.
It's like Christmas right, when you're unboxing stuff.
Let me know what you guys like
the best like I had mentioned.
