So today, I'm here in Detroit
Meeting up with a friend [of] mine, and I wanted to introduce you guys to him
So I'm bringing you along for the ride [and] there
He is now Bryan Bear' check you guys will know I'm from snakebites TV or potentially animal Vice TV
I'm here [to] hang out with them for a couple of days
You could probably introduce yourself better than I could tell them who you are and what we're here to do
[all] [right], so we're going to just have a good time first. We're here at my shop
We're about to go in and there's a ton of reptiles snakes and some alligator all kinds of creepy crawly awesome animals
So we're [going] [to] have a great time with that
We're also going to take a couple trips to some other cool places with some aquarium stuff
So obviously the first [thing] we're going to need to do is get a quick tour of this facility sudhi's got here
So Brian as you know there's a massive amount of crossover between our two hobbies between the aquarium
Hobby and the reptile Hobby especially ball pythons so today. I really want to see what all the fuss is about show me
What show me what some of your favorite snakes are or even teach me a little bit about them
because I got to tell you people are hounding me to build things for the reptile Habían and
Kind of Expand to that, so let's see what happens
Yeah, so you know basically a couple things is [oh] I can never you know
I'm sure you're saying I can't pick a [favorite]
I love them all you know, so I'm just [gonna] show you some stuff that I think is cool
And you guys can decide if you think they're cool or not?
I don't know but but we only work [with] all kinds of different animals you know and we'll show you some ball python stuff
We'll show you some what they call colubrids which are more your north American or central American animals that we work with anyways some
Asiatic stuff as well, but this is an albino Honduran milk snake and again
This is a I always come [there] like the candy cane snakes because they look like a little candy cane
And these guys are really typically pretty chill this one's a little bit hyper, but normally they're really good. They don't really bite
They're really good and they get about [six] [seven] foot long about maybe this big around and and I just think they're really gorgeous
Animals so one of the things that we do [here] is we [do] what we call a you know like paint jobs
You know I mean, so we're taking a little bit of this and a little bit of that, and we're making something else
You know [so] [we're] going to take some [gray's] we're going to take some reds. We're going to create paint jobs on these beautiful
Living art essentially is what it is and there's all kinds of different examples of that this would be another milk snake
But that has a little bit different [colors] game instead of red and white
It's kind of like this beige color when these guys are born you believe it or not
They're the red and purple so I mean that's what makes them so cool and and again you know
There's all kinds of different genetic stuff going on there stuff like recessive and codominant this happens to be what they call
Allelic so others. There's all kinds of stuff [going] on here. This is odd
This is a pretty cool
snake here check this
but it almost looks like three different snakes doesn't it's like a
[redhead] a greenish body and then going back to [a] red tail, and they actually call these hundreds flower rat snakes from from China
So [on] they bite you all that's the one thing [though] snakes in EsI. Do they bite? I'll hide it. If it don't bite
Thank you, buddy as long as you stay [away] from the the pokey, and you're okay. You know they were funny. [yeah]
You know listen you're all snakes can bite, but but they're not
You know they don't want a bite you know they're defensive about it and stuff like that
I got to show you this one dude this one. You're going to love this thing
This is actually called a rhino rat snake [I] know right in that thing cool
And of course they call them rhinos because of that little appendage there and and they use that appendage
[you] know much like you know some fish would do to lure things in right and
And they lure birds in because these guys are going to be up in the trees
They lure the birds and as the birds come in and think it's like maybe some little larva
Caterpillar or something like that bam then they hit them and they need them so uh so it's it's super cool
You know I love Ryan all right these guys are from Vietnam actually as well um
These are another really beautiful snake here
Just you know jet black glossy black snake and this is what they would call a Mexican black King snake
And this is an adult here this as big as it gets and and as you can see the majorities guys are super placid really
Really great animals although. We do have a couple of these guys
That do like to bite a little bit. Yeah, they look like they like the bite a little bit like this guy in particular
He's a fired up guy this guy will bite you in a heartbeat if you give them the opportunity let me get bit
If you want to get bit watch it, he'll bite me in a second. Oh
Come off my hands [there] [it] [is] [there] it goes and uh there you go. Yeah, that's why don't [on]. [thanks]
Listen they don't normally buy like that, so so that one. This is a maverick to see the little star up here
this that specifically means
This guy will bite you you also have geckos. You've got um you got the Gator downstairs
I heard I heard it's thanksgiving here in the united States sides giving [we] should go down and uh yeah, woody
What do you think you got anything to feed him?
You know I tell you what I do have something to feed him, and I think that you're gonna help me so let's go child
What's his name RJ? He's an American alligator? [he's] an American alligator. Yeah, so it looks like we're Gonna feed RJ
American Alligator
That's right. Not only are we we is the key term I'm going to feed one
You're going to seize the other so I just have to get some tongs because I don't want you to lose any fingers
I haven't had anyone geared yet. That is blossomy fingers. I don't want you to be the first one okay
I got it
Do the [crunching] all right awesome?
He [went] great as something you don't hear when you feed just rosenstock. You know so that [is] awesome sauce ex-excuse me an idea
That's pressure. Yeah, but to think of that noise when you're feeding it this next row this X20
Is that [toy] so you don't have to do your finger? Yeah?
I think you'll be fine
Thank you
All right
So obviously I'm not gonna be able to show you everything Brian has he has over
10,000 animals here however if you do want to check them out
I'm gonna leave a link to his channel in [the] description below I'd appreciate if you subscribe give him some love and support
He's got he does some amazing videos. He's actually one of my favorite channels come
On all right, why are you doing jelly every day the alligator?
oh
Come here
Sometimes you just gotta get [him] into a spot where he's just wanting to come up [my] team there you go what?
This is r.j.
And he's my buddy. [I] actually take him out. He's literally like a puppy [dog]
I take him out all the time and play with him and as you can see no restraints on his mouth
Nothing who he awesome. Oh, he'll hiss but he's just a he's just a little baby. Are you what you doing you silly?
Yeah, but he's my buddy
I've had to RJ since he was a little baby. He was [actually] a rescue
You can see when he was a baby
He got one of his legs bit off by another alligator
And so uh we rescued him and uh it's been spending his days here with me
down
They were strong okay? Yeah, you know you're really trying to do is [just] support him really well. Yeah, okay, and uh
Held [on] that you're fine
What's wrong, buddy?
Pretty cool though, no yeah. I mean it feels like he's covered in leather and underneath them is kind of squishy
but
It really cool Brian also does this vlog and yesterday? I was on his blog and
Just a side story when you guys go watch that video
What we did was we kind of he introduced me to these snakes and one of the first ones?
I ever held was what it was actually the first one
I ever held was this white snake, and I thought that was our practice snake like let go we get used to the snake
So we get used to the snake put it away, and you won't remember which one you touched after they closed up
There's so many, and we did it on the other side, but what happened was yeah
We practices with this very nice very calm. Snake very easy to hold which was amazing by the way
We put it away. He turns the camera on we go back to get this snake he opens the drawer
And it's this big massive black snake. I had to keep [going] with it, but in my mind
I thought that isn't what we practiced or rehearsed, so if you guys want to see that clip go check out Brian's Blog channel
He does a great job. It's a separate channel. I'll leave [it] to script
I'll leave a link in the description below for you guys to do so but don't tease me pretty cool. Huh? Yeah
That's a ball python. So that's a novel that's an adult female ball python yep, wow
There you go. They're a little muscular. Thank you. Yeah, no problem
[uh] so yeah, these are all a different ball pythons throughout here on here. Just you know. There's all kinds of stuff
[you] know that's a of course a home cystic. This is a an albino. Which is again you got the
eyes
And it's lacking the the black pigment. Which are really [neil] theoretically would be called Melon
They're a melon istic because the black pigment is called Melanin and these guys are lacking melanin
But we in the hobby column albinos even though theoretically from a scientific standpoint
They really should be called hey melanistic by God, but again you know
There's all kinds of different all pythons here
And then there's all your stuff like you literally have [over] 10,000 this fuck
[that] [sounds] like this is what they call a spotted python it, and this is as large as it gets
So you know a lot of times people think of pythons, and they think oh my God?
They're [gonna] be huge, but this is an adult bulb or this is adult python called a spotted python from Australia, and that's it
That's as big as they get right here
This was about eight years old so you can see he's really cool and and and then there's even stuff like like these are called
Sabu pythons from Indonesia and take a look at these eyes those eyes are so cool
Just let its bright silvery eyes
So yeah, we are we love man again
That's as big as they get they'll get a little bit bigger
But not a whole lot, bigger um and then whoa come on buddy. Don't go away
And then of course off
We've got baby ball pythons. You know cuz you know one of the things. I'm definitely known for is ball Pythons
not that I
Work with a lot of sometimes snakes give you hard time getting back on I work with a ton of other stuff
But I'm kind of known for Ball Pythons
So we have a bunch of little babies of these guys which are all really [really] cool [um]
There's stuff like I mean. There's just beautiful stuff like the spider banana ball python here. Yeah, you know
I mean, [just] really it feels just like the
just like the
Adult over there exactly the same type [of] thing [just] a different you know
And there's just you know all kinds of colors and flavors and like I said we call them paint jobs
But you know these are all the same exact snake just look they just you know look a little different [because] they have different
[genetic] makeup in them, so
So yeah, there's I don't know I think at last count there's like over 1200 mutation ball pythons. You know different flavors, so
It really is endless if you want a yellow snake you can get a yellow snake you want a black snake you get a black
Snake if you want a purple snake you can basically it's my franco speaking of Purple Seca
I have one that's almost pretty purple anyways, and it's this guy down here
Almost drop them that would have been a good thing. This is actually what they call a banana
super chocolate and of course you can see all the the purple color coming through with this guy, so
And you can see these little black marks on them. That's actually a trait of
Bananas that when they get bigger they start to get black splotches on them, so it's kind of neat
it's just like a pigment thing where as they get older they start to get more black pigment, so
Yeah, you can get comfortable with an animal this size. You can get comfortable with any skin
All right
Probably doesn't want her head touched it. Yeah, if you just let her kind of going like this goodbye
Yeah, that's also use a green
Muscle because muscle and bone that elliot dude do snakes carry fat with them
Uh you know not in [this] is the way we think of it some snakes can get a little bit of fatty deposit
When they're overfed and [that's] why we try to keep most person eggs pretty lean and mean
Because we feel that that's the healthier [way] [for] they're not really snakes are instead of to have fatty deposits
You know they should [be] pretty much this all muscle. [yeah], that's all I can feel there's nothing
There's no give to her anyway no, and when she wants to go into One direction. It's hard oper here
Okay
Time to go home Brian [all] right man. Thanks for having me
I'd hate to leave but [I] love to get home absolutely. [it's] been great having you do yeah, it's been an amazing experience
