- Boa constrictors.
Everybody loves boas.
My buddy Connor
that actually gave us the male anaconda
to breed Ivy actually called me the other day.
(phone ringing)
And he told me he had a litter of boas
about a month and a half ago
that were hypo het for sharp albino,
and he asked me if I was interested.
Absolutely, I'll take 'em.
Yeah, I'll send you money,
ship 'em on up.
Look who decided to show back up.
- Are you kidding me right now?
- [Brian] Did you forget how to do stuff here?
It's been so long.
- No, but you know what?
Apparently everybody else did.
Because, yeah.
I'm running around
having to do a lot of stuff
that everybody else forgot how to do.
- [Brian] See what happens when you're not here?
It's good.
So listen, Lori.
I'm thinking about getting a bunch of boas.
Is that okay?
- What?
- I don't know what it is,
but there's just something about boas
that I just love so much.
Look at the cute lil boa!
- Noah, you're wrong.
Pythons are better.
Just look how pretty this one is.
- Yeah, but most of 'em are ugly.
- Boas aren't that pretty neither.
- (indistinct) Stripe right there.
- Get the black and white, like a dime.
- [Noah] That's not even white, dude.
- [Camera Man] White as your underwear, bro.
(Camera man laughs)
- Pythons are better at handling than most boas.
- He looks like he's handling you.
but boas love chin scratches.
Such a good boy!
- Are you challenging me?
- Game on.
(Mike yells)
- No!
- [Brian] What do you mean "No"?
- No.
- "No" what?
- No to the boas.
- Is that a soft no, or a hard no?
- Oh, it's about to be a hard no
upside your head.
- [Brian] Well, I hate to tell you,
but they're on their way.
(ripping sound effect)
(Lori laughs)
- Who's taking care of those?
- You worry too much.
And the boas just arrived!
So let's see what's inside here.
Always fun, you guys know I love unboxing things.
Looks like we've got one, two,
and three bags of boas.
I'm assuming they're all boas.
This says "hypo 100 percent het sharp albino".
There's 10 females in here.
Let's take a look at 'em.
They're gonna be absolute rippers.
Baby boas are so cute,
the second snake I ever got in my entire life.
And first off, right off the rip, I saw this one here.
Look at the reduced pattern on that boa right there!
That is ridiculous,
that almost looks like what they call
a Bolivian short tail boa.
Tiny saddles.
Oh my gosh.
These are all such beautiful boas.
Again, all of them are hypo melanistic,
which is just basically lacking some of the melanin,
and they're all het for sharp albino,
which would be called sun glow.
So a sharp sun glow there.
Wow!
These babies are crazy.
And again, one with super tiny saddles.
These are absolutely incredible boas here.
And they're nice and well started too.
Produced these about six weeks ago,
so they have plenty of food in 'em.
So that is amazing.
But I cannot tell you how beautiful these guys are.
Baby Boas are always gorgeous, but this is a great litter.
And of course these are just the females,
we have a bunch of males as well.
- Saw you handling this one real well, Noah.
- Shut up, Mike.
(Noah grunts)
- You can't even get it out.
- It's really long.
I swear I'm fine.
- Just fine?
- Oh, thanks for the compliment.
- So out of breath.
(Mike laughs)
- I've been eating a lot of ice cream.
There's something sexy about walking around.
Just attractive, that's what boas are.
Attractive. - We're not talking
about sexiness,
we're talking about better handling.
- Pythons are definitely better.
(Mike and Noah laugh)
My love language is physical touch.
(Noah groans)
I don't like that.
How are you handling him, Mike?
- I haven't even started.
You better not spank me.
- I'm not!
- Stop it!
(Noah fake laughing)
They get a lot bigger than boas,
and they like to grab onto stuff.
(Mike groans)
- Do you need help with that?
- Really heavy today.
My dress is falling.
- My dress?
- Pythons are cooler,
cause they're bigger and more impressive.
I think one-
- [Noah] Tuck this in your pocket.
- So, yeah.
(Mike groans)
One giant snake is more impressive
than a bunch of little boas.
One small boa for Noah,
and one big python for Mike.
Uh-oh.
Mike's going down.
- This doesn't look fun at all.
- Aw, dude, it's a blast,
and you get a work out, look.
(Mike groaning)
(cracking sound effect)
I'm pretty sure that's my back.
- I think a disk slipped.
- [Mike] Oh no.
(Noah laughs)
- That's ridiculous.
Boas are so much better.
Check this out.
- And these are the males here.
So, I'm super excited to see
if there's some really beautiful
reduced pattern ones in here.
Regardless, they're gonna be amazing.
Look at that!
It's just so cool.
And what happens with the hypos
is they don't have the black pigment
around the saddles down here in the end,
just at the very tip of their tails.
I'll set these in here.
Again, really beautiful animals,
no doubt about it.
Every single one of these is beefy and unbelievable.
Just take a look, and sure enough,
there's another one of those reduced patterns right here.
I might have to keep a couple of these,
cause they are so cool.
And I think that if you breed these together
you could continue to get more and more reduced patterns.
So that's cool.
Just look at these guys,
and they're all super tame too.
Look at how beautiful they are.
Again, boas have always had a soft spot of my heart,
cause it was the second snake I ever owned.
It was actually a boa named king,
and I had him for probably 19, 20 years,
and I loved him to death.
What an amazing animal.
Gosh, I tell you what, these are beautiful.
So there you have it guys.
We had 14 males and 10 females,
and hoo-doggy,
these are all amazing.
My first (indistinct) clutches for the day,
it actually happens to be
beautiful little hog nose snake
that's actually bred
to an albino anaconda hog nose snake.
And I love hog nose eggs,
so let's see what we have here.
Looks like a really nice clutch.
Ooh, there's a whole bunch of eggs!
Look at that.
So we go ahead.
We actually set these up on hatchrite
rather than vermiculite.
They need it a little bit drier
and the hatchrite is actually perfect for that.
There is a bunch of eggs.
That was just a little tiny girl.
Look at how many eggs she has,
that is incredible.
We've got 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 eggs.
That's a lot of eggs for a little girl.
We have a coral snow corn,
again, these are so beautiful.
That's that really pink snow corn snake.
Look at that right there.
Again, polygenically bred for pink.
And this is the dad right here.
Take a look at how incredible that one is.
And it looks like
there's a whole bunch of really beautiful eggs here
for sure.
Got 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, wonderful eggs.
While the boys are trying to figure out
if boas or pythons are better snake to handle.
I love boas.
This actually happens to be a motley boa here.
You could see that really cool striping on the side,
and the kind of connected saddles.
That's why they call 'em motley boas.
And I've always loved boas.
Then take a look at this eclipse boa here.
Just a patternless, kind of grayish animal.
This is actually a Colombian motley boa,
like the one I had showed you,
bred to a leopard boa, which is a Sonoran boa,
which is a smaller dwarf boa,
but together they make an amazing animal.
And look at those jet black eyes.
- I feel 30 pounds lighter.
- [Camera Man] Probably more like a hundred pounds lighter.
- Yeah, probably, I'm bad at math.
- Yeah, Mike?
Well, I have anacondas on my side
so I can get the ladies.
- You try to pick up that
when it's 300 to 500 pounds.
- Shut up.
- [Camera Man] 300's the max, Mike.
(Noah laughs)
- This guy.
- He feels like 800.
- Anyways, green is like, my third favorite color.
- Wow.
- They can swim in the water.
- All Snakes can swim, Noah.
- Bet there's some out there that don't know how.
- No, I'm pretty sure all snakes know how.
- They can swim in the water.
They're the only snake that lives in Bikini Bottom.
They like hamburgers.
- What about the bull snake?
- [SpongeBob Voiceover] Alaskan Bull Worm!
- Is he okay?
Ball python doesn't even move.
- Doesn't have eyes.
- What does seeing have to do with moving?
- You can't see where you're going,
so she just stays in a little ball.
- She just moved.
(Noah yells)
Look, she even got pretty yellows on her.
- Well I have a boa that's pretty and yellow.
- Prove it.
Are you showing me Lucky?
Oh yeah, you're gonna lose this one.
Go ahead.
- It's my lucky day.
Can you see it in there?
- You gotta get him out.
- Just observing-
- It's a better handling, better well-behaved snake.
Pythons are winning.
- I've got another one.
- Show me.
(water splashes) (Noah yells)
That's her.
Where you going?
Come back. - I'm done!
You win!
- Python's win?
(Mike blows raspberry)
- And like I'd mentioned,
that eclipse is actually a combination
of a leopard boa, which is this one right here,
and the motley boa together.
The leopard boas are really interesting.
Again, a smaller animal, typically only get about four foot,
so if you love boas,
but you don't want an eight or nine foot boa,
you can certainly get something like this
that stays much smaller.
Then you get into the true red tail boas,
or what they call BCCs,
which is boa constrictor constrictor.
They have this beautiful really dark red tail.
This happens to be a locality,
which is called a Guyana red tail boa.
Hoo, I tell you what, that is a gorgeous animal.
This one clutch of eggs today is actually a lemon blast
that is het for ghost.
Oh my gosh, she looks good.
She was actually bred to what's called a mimosa,
which is a ghost champaign.
So these guys could all be ghosts, and lemon blast ghosts,
and pastel lemon blast ghosts, and champaigns,
and mixtures there of.
This looks like a beautiful clutch of eggs.
Oh my gosh, look at that.
All pearly whites, no bad eggs,
perfect sized eggs for a female like this.
This should be a really cool clutch.
Let's go ahead and get them in the incubator box right here.
We've got 2, 4, 6, 8 eggs.
Only one clutch, but it's a banger clutch!
Take a look at this ripper right here!
This is another true red tail boa, or a BCC.
But look at the color of that tail right there.
This is actually a Suriname locality.
The Surinames get pretty big,
the Guyanas typically don't get much bigger than six foot.
The Surinames can get eight plus foot,
sometimes even ranging up to 10 foot,
and they are absolutely stunning.
And take a look at this one right here.
Talk about a dark animal.
This is actually a leopard boa, but it's bred to an IMG,
which is called an increasing melanin gene,
and it turns really black and iridescent.
Almost like night fury, absolutely ridiculous.
And look at the iridescence on that snake right there.
It's like a rainbow.
- High five, RJ.
Other hand.
On your hand?
Oh, you are not left handed.
- How else am I gonna remember?
All right, team python or team boa?
- [Mike] You've gotta high-five that hand.
- Oh, this is a hard one.
I like boas personalities more.
- Boa, ha!
One to none.
- Team python, team boa?
(slide whistle sound effect)
- [Mike] You hold that hand still, mister.
- That's some bull crap.
- She's got a ball python (indistinct).
- All right, guy.
Team python, team boa?
(Mirror rattles)
(Noah laughs)
That's two one, Mike.
- That's bologna.
(Door squeaks)
- [Noah] Team python, team boa?
- Boa.
- [Noah] That's three.
- [Mike] No, that's two.
- Python.
- [Noah] Python.
- That's two.
You never asked me.
- Yeah, you don't get to play.
Which one do you choose, python or boa?
Come to the left side,
come to the left side.
Yeah, I think that was a fluke or something.
We should go on to the next one.
- This is a brand new boa mutation
that we've never seen before.
I got it from a friend of mine that popped it out
out of nowhere.
Actually popped out several of 'em.
We call 'em puzzle boas,
cause it looks like little puzzle pieces down their back.
We're not 100 percent sure if it's genetic or not,
but there were a few in the litter,
so we're hopeful.
Here in the next year or two
hopefully we can prove this one out.
And look at how amazing this boa is here.
It's a hog island boa.
Hoo-hoo!
It's a feisty lil monkey right there!
Hog islands can sometimes be a little bit aggressive
as you can see with this one.
But they stay kind of on the small side,
maybe five foot maximum.
They have this beautiful faint pattern to them,
and just are unbelievably amazing,
but hoo-doggy!
This one is fired up.
- Boa or python?
- I'm gonna have to go with python,
just cause there's more species of them.
More color patterns.
Carpets are my favorite, so like.
- Rules are rules.
Three to three.
- Let me break this tie real quick,
cause I'm team boa.
- No breaking ties,
he voted himself.
- Didn't you know mirrors are different dimensions?
- All right, we'll get the fricking (indistinct).
- You have to go to a mirror.
No.
That's how dimensions work!
- Now I would like you to step into my personal office.
(fan humming)
There's a fan in here, you know?
Python or boa?
Yeah.
- You just...
That was you.
- Oh.
He picked boa.
- I heard boa, did you hear that?
- Look it, look it, look it.
Boom, done.
- You don't know how different dimensions work.
Can your other body slap this?
- [Camera Man] Idiot.
- Slap my hand.
In that mirror.
Good job.
- Oh, that's how that works?
- Yeah.
You're not very connected
with the outer worlds.
- Give me your finger.
(Mike groans)
- Python or boa?
- What about?
- [Mike] Just generalize, what's your favorite?
- What's your favorite?
Python?
- Boom baby, that's called five to four!
I win.
- 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.
(Mike grunts)
- Uh-oh.
